HOW FERGUSON FOITJED

Boston, July 2O.-Jack Johnson, the colored heavyweight received the de- clsion over Sandy Ferguson of this city on a foul in the middle of the seventh round. They fought before 1000 persons Tuesday night in Pythian rink, Chelsea, and fully twice that number were driven from the doors by the police.
 In the seventh round, after a minute of fighting, and while the men were in clinch. Ferguson lifted his right leg, and with all the force he could muster he butted his knee into the colored man just below the waist line. Johnson reeled, and while he was fall ing to the floor Ferguson butted him with his other knee.
 Referee Billy Crowley of Hartford motioned Ferguson to go to his corner, but Sandy stood over that official. ready to slug him if he announced the verdict against him. Crowley pointed toward Sandy, and the latter, believing that he had received the decision, jumped the ropes and landed on the heads of the crowd. Later, however. Johnson was announced the winner on foul.
 It was Ferguson's fight on points up to the time that he committed his cow ardly act. In the fifth and sixth, how ever. Johnson scored with a wicked left hook to the stomach, and Fergu- son appeared as if he wanted to stop every time Johnson got home with the blow.

THE PUGILlSTS.
FRIENDS ARE
 NOW RIVALS
Billy Nadden n With Ruhlin Against John L. With hCor nick How John. son Was Fouled-Stories of Cans.

Gus Ruhlfn has gone west for the purpose of fighting again. He is now matched to meet Jim Mccormick, a man who has not startled the world
 with any of his achievements in the ring. Still, there should bs some inter. est in the go because it is heavy weight affair. Ruhlin has been out of the game for some time, not because It was his desire, but because there were few men at his weight willing to give him battle. One feature of this fight is that it will be John l.. Sllli- vans first venture as a manager. The Dig fellow has heretofore confined him. self to the stage and ring, but manag- Ing fighters is an entirely new role. His friends hope that he will be suc- cessful. By a strange coincidence Sul- livan will be opposed on the other side by Billy Madden, who has been credit ed many times with having brought Sullivan out. Madden and the ex-cham- plon are good friends. Sullivan has lot of confidence in Mccormick and be- lleves that he will beat the Akron Giant. Madden thinks that Ruhlin will win in walk, and there are plen- ty of other judges who agree with him in this respect.

Not Possible.

Jones is well-known young lawyer who some time ago established his home in one of the suburbs where cot with an acre and COW is supposed to be the earthly paradise.
 His old chum, Brown, also of the bar, after hearing of the rural delights for long time, consented finally to spend Sunday on the farm" He was received with all the honors and all the attractions were shown to him.
 At each meal he had to listen to eulogies of "our own make" viands. He stood patiently our own milk, let tuce from that frame you saw, peas off the vine in the back lot and so on, un- til it got to Harry, I can recommend this chicken specially. I raised it my self"

TO AID TKtE GROWTH
BUREAU OF FORESTRY STUDY.
 ING MISSISSIPPI LANDS.
Cottonwoods Would Stand the Over flow and Their Value Increasing Recommend More Conservative
 Lumbering-Fire Precautions.

One of the investigations with which the bureau of forestry has been engaged recently is a study of the tree growth along the Mississippi river from Cairo, H., to New Orleans. Bordering the river is strip of land about Is miles wide on either side, which is subject to repeated overf1ows; consequently d large proportion of the area is unavail- able for agriculture. notwithstanding the richness of the soil
 Following the channel at distance of from one-eighth of mile to two miles from low-water line. levees have been erected to control the stream. Between the levees and the river there can be no question of cultivation because of the certainty of overflow, but the land easily serves to raise cottonwoods. since the trees do not object to the periodical high water. Behind the levees much of the land can be drained and cultivated. Other parts are too wet for field crops,

agement the icrest must be protected from fire. The practice now is to burn out the undergrowth periodically. That destroys all the small trees. Forest management and fires cannot exist to- gether. but there appears to be no neces- sity for setting these fires, and since the ground is nearly always moist there is little danger of their being started acci- dentally.
 The whole question of the profitable management of these forest lands lies within the control of the owners. h. stead of reaping one harvest, as they now do, it will be almost as easy to se- cure successive crops so long as the land remains unavailable for farming. When that time comes the forest must give way permanently.

DOBBS AFTER CANS.

Minneapolis, July 20.--Jack Briggs, former trainer and manager of the well known and clever colOred light weight, Bobby Dobbs, of Minneapolis, Minn, has just received a letter from Dobbs, who has made his home in Eng land since the repeal of the Horton law. Dobbs is now successfully conducting boxing school and keeps busy meet ing opponents in the ring. Dobbs writes that he has very strong desire to have Briggs arrange a match with Joe Cans, the colored lightweight, for the championship. Dobbs says that is the only thing that would induce him to cross the ocean. Briggs is. accord ingly, ready to match Dobbs against Cans for any number of rounds before any good club.

BASE BALL NOTES.

Jimmy Bannon's Montreal team is a
 tail-ender in the Eastern. The team
 hasn't won a Saturday game at home
 this season.
 Among the pitchers who have no-hit
 games to their credit is Doc Newton of
 the New York Americans. Newton &C., complished the feat while with the Los
 Angeles team.
 | A twenty-three inning game was | played on July 2. in Stockton, Cal. be- | tween the Stockton and Lodi teams. | Stockton won. to 0. Only five hits were made of Ferguson, the Stockton pitcher.
 The Bridgeport Post wants the Bos- ton American league agents to look at First Baseman Bill Yale. Charlie Shy der of Washington did so and he de- cllred that Yale was not ma ,or l"ague possibility.
 In the game between Williamsport and Harrisburg Saturday in the Trl- State league. the Williamsport players put oil of mustard on the balls and made Pitcher Frank Leary fail with the spit ball.
 Jack Doyle. the veteran Holyoke resident. who got back into fast com pany last week for one game with New York Americans, has returned to Tole- do. He has law suit on there against the baseball club.
 Comment is being made that Ma loney. the swift runner of the Chicago Nationals. is not living up to his name as a base stealer on this trip. The trouble with him was that he did not reach first often enough.

THE DIAMOND.
THE UhpIRES
 DISCUSSED
Aeeting of Directors of Connecticut League =
 Only Two Games Played and Hartford and New Haven Won.

New Haven, July 2O.-The trials and tribulations of the umpires in the Con-
 necticut baseball league furnished a
 topic for lengthy discussion at a
 special meeting of the league directors | at Hotel Garde last night. Throwing
 ball at the umpire is the latest meaus
 of a player displaying his temper on the ball field. This, Umpire Joe Horn
 ung claimed, was done to him last Sat
 urday when Holyoke played at Savln i Rock. He appeared in person before the board of directors and displayed a bruised shoulder stating that after the
 game in which Holyoke was defeated by New Haven. Deal, the Holyoke nrst i baseman, deliberately struck -.lm with the ball. Hornung said he didn't pro pose to stand for any such treatment while officiating as an umpire and ask
 ed the directors to take action concern ing Deals conduct. He also recited the case of George Bannon. the left
 fielder of the Holyoke team. whom be claimed called him all sorts of names when he called third strike on him.
 Hornung told the directors that Man. ager Frysinger, of the Holyoke team, saw Deal strike him with the ball and scored him for so doing. That he also called down Bannon for the unruly an tics in the game.
 All of the directors present agreed to make special effort to see that the um- pires hereafter receive different treat ment from the players. The umpire qustion aroused some of the managers who took this opportunity of express. ing themselves freely.
 Supervisor of Empires Thomas l.. Riley, who was unable to be present at the meeting, sent lengthy commu nication which was read before the board but no action taken. Supervisor Riley considered the umpire question from a serious point of view. The abuse which they have been receiving from the players in the different teams, he asked be discontinued and recon,- mended that when an umpire removes a player from the game fine be lm posed at the same time. This. he said, will help to overcome the rowdylsm now existing on the ball field. Mir Ri ley stated the league has three good umpires, Hickey, Hornung and Ken nedy, and they are as good men as money can secure. AS for Fahey, he stated that he has been the offender on several occasions ana that he has secured the services of Dan Horne, of Baltimore, who will report for duty to- day or tomorrow and relieve Fahey. He noted that the charges made by Hornung against Deal, of Holyoke are an imitation of the work of Tighe, of Norwich, against Umpire Kennedy. and should be investigated.
 Supervisor Riley wrote in his com that the failure of um- pires to fulfill their assignments should | not be allowed.
 The directors voted to have another Friday night at s o'clock at | Hotel Garde, when action will be taken on the several matters discussed last | night. At the meeting the Holyoke. Meriden and New Haven clubs were not represented and no reasons were received for the managers absence.
