piOnship of Georgia Against Kid
Thomas Tonight.

is fast as lightning on his feet, has
two good hands to fight with, and
uses both at all times. Sheehan's most
effective punch is with his left but
he, too, can send a knockout wallop
with his right.
The winner of the lightweight fight
will stand to defend the title of light
weight champion of the state, and of
the South. There are two fast light
weights in New Orleans who are anx-
ious to come here and try conclusions
with one of the local boys, and it is
probable that a match will be ar
ranged as soon as possible after the
decision of to-night's go.
In addition to the star bout between
Dempsey and Sheehan, Young Jollie
will defend the title of bantam cham
pion of the state against Kid Thomas,
who was in bad shape the last time
he met Jollie Thomas is a terrific
fighter, and While he was going the
first three rounds last Friday night
he clearly demonstrated that with
little hard work he would endanger
the title now held by Jollie. Thomas
is a few pounds heavier, but Jollie
says this does not matter, and that
he will put him to sleep in the first
three rounds.
The contest between Jollie and
Thomas will also be ten rounds and
the fireworks will be started off with
a battle royal between five husky

ALASKAN BILLS ARE
PASSED BY THE SENATE.
Committee Named to Attend Repre-

Committee Named to Attend Repre-
sentative CrOft's Funeral.
Washington, March 10.-The Senate
to-day passed a number of bills re-
lating to Alaska, but failed to act
upon the measure authorizing the elec=
ton of a delegate in Congress from
that territory. Mr.. Plat of Connect
cut opposed the bill, and because of
his opposition and his desire for time
for discussion it was not pressed.
The Alaskan bills passed included
those for the Improvement of roads,
the maintenance of schools, the APP
pointment of an additional judge and
the extension of the coal laws to the
territory.
Several other bills were passed, in
Guiding one increasing to 500 the pen
sion of ex-soldiers who have become
totally blind on account of service.
After the executive session, an
nouncement was made of the death of
Representative Croft of South Caro-
lima. The chair appointed Messrs. Till
man, Latimer, Fulton, Clarke Of Ar
kansas and McLaurin a committee to
attend the funeral, and at 4:42 o'clock,
as a further mark of respect, the Sem
ate, on motion of Mr.. McLaurin, ad-
journed.

SPORTING SIDE LIGHTS

Billy Madden has succeeded in get
ting a job for Gus Rubin. Gus and
Marvin Hart have signed articles to
box six rounds at catch weights be-
fore the Lenox Athletic Club of Phil
adelphia on March rs.
The Eastern air does not seem to
agree with Harry Foley OF Chicago.
For the second time since he ventured
forth from the shelter of his home town
he has been we'll thrashed.
The fans at American League Park
will miss-or perhaps they won't-the
dulcet tones of "Howling Harry" How
ell when the season opens. Clark
Griffith, in securing Jack Powell, of
st. Louis. threw Howell in with the
$4,000 when he made the bargain.
The Philadelphia Nationals have Sc
cured William Gleason, better known
when he covered second base for the
Giants as kid" Gleason. Gleason's
release has been purchased outright
from the New York Club. He will
cover second base for the Quakers.
Jake Beckley, who was traded to the
St. Louis Nationals. will probably be
made captain of the team.
We'll give Matty his bumps this
season." says Barney Dreyfuss. I'm
1902, McGinnity had US breaking our
backs trying to hit his benders, but
last season we won five out of six
games he pitched against US. 'Matty'
is due for the same thing this sum
raer."
1t is said that the. Cincinnati Club
has spent $40. 900 for releases so far
this season. The REDS must be after
this remnant.
AL HEREFORD has drawn down his GER
titled check for $500 which he sent to
John Considine to bind a match for
81, 900 a side between Joe Cans AMI
Spike" Sullivan. Tom Sharkey had
challenged the champion on behalf Of
Sullivan, and named 81, 600 as a side
bet. Herford's check was in answer
to this challenge. Sharkey paid no
attention to it.
The Philadelphia Nationals will start
on their Southern training trip with
the following players:
Catchers-Zimmer, Doom. Roth and
Marshall.
Pitchers-Dugglesby Fraser, Sparks
and Mitchell of last years team, and
Barry, Breckenridge, Mcpherson, Lush
and Barthold of last years minor
league and Independent teams.
Infielders-First base. Douglass; sec
ond base; Gleason: shortstop, Huls-
witt; third base and captain, Wolver-
ton; substitute, Hall.
Outfelders-Thomas Barry, Titus

SAYS AMERICANS ARE
LOOKING FOR ADVERTISEMENT
He Says There Is No Chance for Them to Play
the Giants.

II would give the entire gross re-
eeipts to charity If McGraw's team
would consent to play us three games
here before the opening of the cham
pionship season. 1t would not be the
gate receipts which 1 would seek by
suchs a series. but simply to show to
thousands who have not yet realized
the strength of the American League
that we are able to put it all over the
so-called Giants any time and any
place. If Brush and McGraw were not
afraid Of being shown up they would
play us in a minute, but they know
that while they have only a fair ball
team they are going to tackle the 9TH
er National League clubs, which, bar
ring Pittsburg, would not stand a
chance TO win the championship of
the Eastern League"

Charles H. Ebbets is credited with say

five dates was said TO be contemplated,
such dates not affecting the opening
between the Giants and the Brooklyns.
1t had been asserted that further con-
cessions were TO be made 10 the Amer

While Garry" Hermann has de-
cided against Sunday baseball at
RidgewOOd between American League
teams, il is understood that he has
made no objection 10 the playing of
exhibition games by the Highlanders
on that diamond, not considering this
an infringement of territorial rights.
This is considered to be almost as

In reply to a statement given out by
Frank Farrell of the New York Amer
lean team, Manager McGraw said yes
terday: They are just looking for an
advertisement, and think the best way
to get it is to make a bluff at US.
They have no more chance to get
a game with the Giants than they have
to fly. If what Farrell says is true

New York that they have the best

the prisoners would take any chance
looking towards their escape.
