MUNROE TALKS FIGHT
WITH BROOKLYN FANS
Miner Pugilist Describes His First
Meeting with Champion
Jeffries.
KNOCK JIM DOWN

BROOKLYN, March 12.-When Jack Mum
roe finished his sparring exhibition with
Billy Elmer, at Watson's, last night, a
large crowd of sporting men gathered about
the green room and began spinning yarns.
With a twinkle in his eye. Billy Watson
asked Munroe to describe his ight at Butte
with Jeffries. Munroe is very slow to start,
but when he starts he can talk as interest
ingly as could be desired.
After my light with Hank Griffin, Mum
roe began. Il decided to go TO the mines. 1

unable to leave his room for a month. l
thought that If l was to lose money and
take a good punching beside 1 would sooner

But what about the Jeffries fight asked
Watson a second time.
'WeIl. II was near Christmas and

What a cinch. they thought. i was given a
great cheer and as / walke about the ring

Jeff and Fitz stopped smiling.
After receiving instructions, l went 20
my corner and began chatting with friends.

II In great shape. l had Jef s~prawling on
the ropes. but | did not floor him. JEFF put
me down twice in the next round, but any
impartial spectator Will tell you that JEFF

last round.
JEFF told his manager he felt that first

the bout. / hope 1 can land another one
like IL In our next battle for the cham
pionship. OF course, l expect 20 meet a diff
ferent Jenrfes. but he will meet a different

FRENCH BREEDER TO
BUY KENTUCKY HORSE
Trainer Hughes Acting as Agent to
Purchase Handsome, Son of
Hanover.
HISTORY OF THE HORSE

LOUISVILLE, March 12.-Trainer Eddie
Hughes, who arrived in New York from
France Tuesday, has come TO Kentucky,
where he hopes to purchase the stallion
Handsome for a French breeder. Hughes
was noncommittaI on the subject of the
purchase. but as he had high hopes of Sc
curing the horse it is assumed that nego-
tiations for the purchase of the horse had
already been made.
Hughes first went to France three years
ago 10 train for w. X. Vanderbilt, but
severed his connection with Mr.. Vanderbilt
last year and returned TO this country. He
went abroad again a few weeks ago 10 train
for another owner in France. and will re-
turn there shortly whatever his success in
the purchase of Handsome.
Handsome was one of the best twO-year-
olds in the West in his year, a year UNI
usually prolific in good juveniles in that
section of the country. But that was his
best season as a racer. He won a~fterward,
but never came back TO the good form OF
his juvenile year. Corrigan was interested
in racing at San Francisco at that time
and Handsome went with others of his
string 10 the coast. When he went to the
bad he passed out of COrrigan's hands,
and was owned by various California own
ers of the class which delight in handling
equine bric-a-brac.
After a season or two at the county fairs
Handsome, the highly-bred racer. passed
from the knowledge of the racing world.
At the time OF HanOver's death a few
years ago kentucky breeders gave much
thought 10 securing the son of this mighty
sire most likely TO nil his place in the
breeding ranks of the Bluegrass country.
Handsome was selected as the horse. but
many weary months passed before the eff
fort TO locate him was successful. He was
finally found on a ranch in northern Ore
gon.
The purchase of the horse was quickly
made and Handsome. after having been

Only Hoosiers Who Have
Not Signed.
PERSONNEL OF TEAM

Manager Phillips. Of the Indianapolis
team. Is wearing "a larger smile now than
when he first arrived In town from his AL
1enport home. The change OF expression
was caused by the receipt Of a number OF
signed contracts and Phillips announces
that his team is complete with the excep-
ton Of Newlin, H0griever and Woodruff.
II it comes down TO cases he gays ne can go
right along without the three men, II they
persist In making Il unpleasant by refusing
10 sign their contracts. The personnel Of
the Indianapolis team as II now stands is
as follows:
Catchers-Heydon. Leslie and ortlieb.,
Pitchers-Phiilips. Crowley, NOlz, Fisher,
FOulkes. Allemang and Malloy.
Firstbase-Dickey and DieTy.
Second Base-MagOOn.
Shortstop-Hess.
Thirdbase-Carr.
Utility Innelder-Lindsay.
outheld-Hendricks, schrader. Powell
Marshall.
As is shown by the list. there will be
many new faces ON the Hoosier team this
season. After the wedding out process this
spring IL is likely that the catching and
pitching department will see little change,
with the exception Of Phillips and Allie
mang as twirleTs. Dickey IS new to Indian
apolis as are Hess and Carr, the other in
nslders. Mag9oq IS vel known here
Hendricks will be one Of the other fixtures.
Schrader. Powell and Marshall are to be
given thorough trials.

ALI the members of the Indianapolis team
have been ordered to report here on March
30 and the first exhibition game will be
played three weeks from yesterday. The
cold weather so far this spring has caused
the baseball fans TO think that the season
is farther of. but a few days Of warm sun
shine viii make them anxious TO see q
game. improvements are now being made
at Washington Park. New chairs are being
placed In the grand stand to replace the
broken ones and as soon as the frost is out
OF the ground heavy rollers will be used TO
put the playing field In condition.

Bryan's stand on the presidential
question is rather peculiar and gives
reasonable grounds for the suspic-
ion that he will be candidate him
self. He is openly opposed to
Parker and does not have a good
word for Hearst. He does not
think the right man is yet in the
field. 1t may be possible that the
Nebraska statesman can see no good
in any candidate unless he halls
from the Platte; and that he may be
induced for the good of his party
to again enter the lists. The Re-
publicans surely could have no
objections to such plan. Mr..
Bryan is a good citizen and moral
man but he does not seem to be
built out of Presidential timber.

The Russians are becoming quite
hostile to the Americans and British
They claim the laps were assisted
in the late bombardment of Port
Arthur by American and British
vessels flying the japanese flag.
They give as another reason the ac-
curacy of the FIRE. They think Jap
anese gunners can not shoot so ac-
curately as the shells were placed in
the last bombardment and that they
must have been directed by Amer
ican gunners. How natural that
sounds. No one ever heard of a
kid getting the worst of a scrap at
school but the report was circulated
that he was set upon by three or
four of his companions.
