Despite all the denials at the meet
ing of the American league in Chicago
of any amalgamation between the Ma
tional and American leagues there are
some of the magnates who honestly
believe that some such move will be
made.
1t now looks as though Matty Fftz-

out with the statement that he Is after
Melody and wants to fight the Boston
boy in San Francisco.

While the army-navy football game
Saturday was probably one of the
most exciting ever played between the
two institutions. it was simply side
show to the social football event OF
tho season. The $4,000 people saw
the game. From all sections OF the
United States came spectators who or
dinarily would not travel a score OF
miles to see a football contest. All
this was doubtless brought about by
the fact that President Roosevelt was
to be present.
