FL PASO VS BISBEE ID DAY

there will be no doubt as to the out
 Preparations are being made for a record-breaking attendance at the baseball game at Don Luis Athletic park Sunday next, when the Bisbee favorites will cross bats with the El Paso team Judging by the game last Sunday Manager Sowles says all those who go to Don Luis to witness the game will have nothing to regret in regard to showing by the Bisbee boys. At that time the local team played very fast game. allowing no earned runs. keeping the hits down, and allowing but one run un errors A score of to is unusually low for unprofessional teams anywhere in the course of a nine inning game and this score tells the story of what the Fl Paso boys may expect to go up against when they play Bisbee.
 It is generally agreed that while the Bisbee team won the game from the Douglas boys last Sunday, still they did not have their batting clothes on. During the present week. however. some of the players have been prac- ticing at odd-times at the bat and it is promised that the batting in next Sundays game will be of a different color than that of last Sunday. If so

BARRIERS vs- THE SPORTS

was a sport but what was a natural born ball player and most of them graduated from the diamond into the case keepers chair.
 The line up has been decided upon and all signed players are required to sign a pledge to drive the water wagon three days in the week be tween now and the game. This pre- caution is unnecessary on the part of the barbers.
 Strenuous exercise is the rule adopted by both hines in order that muscles may become hardened and hands calloused for the strenuous oc. casiol.
 Roulette dealers are whilring the ball with a strong arm and at the faro bank ten minutes is allowed by special dispensation for "shuffling up." This form of exercise is ex- pected to strengthen the muscles Of the forearm.
 Tn the barber shops, strap work is the favorite form of exercise and a victim who will submit to a shampoo is sure of receiving the real thing. When the chairs are empty the ball is passed quickly from hand to hand to accustom the players to its size ana shape and the first man who drops IL substitute takes his place
 Some trouble was experienced in getting Mike Delaney to play. Strong arguments were brought to bear and it was only after photograph ot 6 keg of beer on third base was shown him that he signed the papers.
 The umpire question came very near resulting in declaring all negotiations off. The barbers proposed the editor of the Review and the Sports stan- peded: Not for our money" says Shimp. Wed have about as much chance winning as new beginner in seven up game" Finally Chicken Dick" was decided upon as compro- mise.
 The line up on yesterday was as follows:
 -Standish, Catcher; James. Picher; Neck, base; Runkle, ? base; Phevby, Short-stop; Kenney, 3 base; Wright, Left-field. Clancy Center; Briggs. Right-field; Du Rec, Neal. Stalker and Quillen, Substitutes.

There is something doing at the Athletic park next Sunday Dealers in sporting goods are doing rush ing business and alleys are impassa at practice. The game will be called at p. m. and the Sports will cross bats with the Tonsorial Artists.
 Main street is divided into factions and there is money marble and chalk to bet at the drop of hat.
 On Thursday Bull" Kenney. who works on the first chair at Greetings dropped into the Turf and with swell ed chest passed the remark that no set of sports ever lived who could score more runs in the National game than a similar aggregation of hard working. industrious barbers. Quick as flash every bank roll in the house was up on the counter denying the assertion and Bull" beat nasty re treat down the street and sought the advice and counsel of the Shave 'eln Up" Kid who wears the white coat on chair No. 2. Shampoo Jim mic" was added to the Council and after much plotting and passing Of expert opinions it was the sense of the conference that Sports in Bisbee did not have any edge over barbers- Shampoo Jimmie argued that Sports are naturally inclined to stay up all night while Barbers are noted for their temperate habits and general moral conduct. This advantage was immediately placed to the credit of the barbers Again it was argued that after a Sport gets off shift he has to work extra playing solo which is naturally trying on the nerves ana not conducive to clear eyesight and good batting form. From a physical standpoint the barbers are confident that they have a clear lead
 The question of finances was ve% atious one until Emil Marks came along together with J. L. Boston and after the situation was clearly ex plained they agreed to finance the harber end of the game and immedf ately advertised that they would take all bets offered.
 The big game of the season has been matched. It is for 5000 side the losers to pay all expenses and no limit has been placed on the ex' uenses. The Athletic park will be thrown open free of charge on this occasion and ladies will be. admitted to the grand stand free.
 The Sports are confident of sue cess. They argue that there never

But Britt went at him like a vhirlwind, blocked of his blows or took them with equal indifference and still kept rush ing in, delivering smash after smash If ever Vpugilist had an excuse for quitting ftlwas poor Cans, already jad- ed by the effort to reduce to 1S3 pounds Britt knocked all the fight out of him, making him drop to the floor again and again without being knocked down. Al though Britt lost the decision on a pal pablo foul, he was easily the better man
 It was the moral superiority that inspired Britt. So far as mere phys ical strength went the negro was his equal, but fin vim. dash, ferocity, inc unconquerable determination to sue .ceed, the white boy was far the su- perior.
 James Edward Britt was born iu 1880 south of Market street, San Fran cisco, the district locally known as south of the slot" Ills father is al plumber who has grown rich on big contracts and has also served as sIE pervisor. James is five feet six inches tall, with big shoulders and chest. al fifteen inch neck and the body of a welterweight. His hands and feet are small. He has blue eyes that are mild in repose, but blaze like searchligbts during battle.
 Jimmy began to box by stealth be- cause his brother. Bill, was already amateur featherweight champion Of the coast, and Papa Britt was disgrun- tied. But James quietly entered thI tournament while he was still a pupil at the high school. He beat four me.s

 In the infield Schirk at short and Baker at first are showing up re- markedly well. Schirk is very active, accepting frequently difficult chances with but few errors. The makeup of the Bisbee team is not yet decided on.
 Of the playing of the Fl Paso team. not much is known. but it Is reported that that team has won a large per centage of all the games played this season.

Coming Brltt-White
 BattIe
Ring World HI Agog OUer tie C0ntest h Frisco For International Championship - Jabe3 L tie Best of British Lightweights.

The coming lightweight fight between Jimmy Britt and Jabez White. the Eng fish champion, is the most talked of feature in the pugilistic world.
 These clever lads will meet before the Yosemite club of San Francisco toward the close of this month. Those who see the meeting of these two little physical marvels will see something that has not taken place in this country in many day, an international prize light. The Pedlar Palmer-McGovern affair in Tuckahoe, \. r., few years ;;3o was the last one.
 Any kind of sporting contest with an International flavor to it is inter esting. and that probably is why the sport loving populace throughout the entire country is all wrought up over the coming match, and its outcome is being widely discussed.
 White's Backing.
 White has SJ0,000 backing in Eng land against Britt, and he has come here under the management of Charlie Mitchell, who well knows what it is to try ro win an American championship and. if experience counts. how to go about it.
 As far as confidence goes, both as to the fighters and the public, it is Greek against Greek. for offsetting the Brit ons' assurance is the fact that Britt took on White for a little sure mon ey" before risking his laurels at the baDdc of Battling Nelson
 Best In His Glass.
 In England White is the best in his class. For months he has been anxious to meet the clever boys of this country. He is clever and can hit. While he is persistently being ''knocked" by men who never saw him fight, Referee Charley White, who saw the English lightweight battle with Spike Sullivan in London during coronation week In June, 1902, thinks White has a chance with any lightweight in this country.
 White fights more on the American style than any other boy in England. Several times Americans have trained in his place, and he carefully watched and learned their every move. He is SHllIy, HIS dH SHtCuNt, Clcan PuASA with either hand and is exceptionally cool in the ring.
 White is a tride tall for his weight, which gives him an advantage. He has been fighting since he weighed 100 pounds and understands the game thor oughly He is quiet and very modest.
 Over in Birmingham he has a little family who are wishing and hoping for his success. There also he has a profit able business, which bears out his shrewdness. White is not only a sue cessful fighter, but cleTe- enough to put his success to gain.
 His plans in this country are not fully made, but he may go on spar ring tour with Mitchell.
 Britt Likes Fighting.
 As for Britt, it may be said that be fights because he likes to fight. Thus

CHAMPION.
 in one night and won the title his broth CT had held. It was wonderful to see the calm self confidence of Jimmy. He sneered at his opponents from his cor ner, dashed at them, bashed them, overwhelmed them and stalked away, still sneering.
 A Natural Fighter.
 Fighting became second nature with the boy. When he was graduated from high school he entered his fathers of flee, where he was put in charge of contracts and developed into a good business man. But during the even ings he roamed about town not exact ly looking for fight, but ready to hand it to any one who was looking. James is exquisitely neat as to dress. orders half a dozen suits at time and always has the newest things in hats, gloyes and cravats He wears his silky brown hair cut long in front, and it hangs in furnished glory as far down as his ears.
 How Britt Whipped Collins.
 Thus arrayed and resplendent James entered a strange barroom in Frisco , one eyening-not to drink, for he dis liked rum, but to buy a cigar. Mike Collins, big heavyweight fighter who had taken Jim Corbett's place as box ing teacher in the Olympic Athletic club. was standing at the bar with friends
 "O-o-o-o-o-hI" drawled Mike. "O-o- o-o-o-h. Get on t tn little duda.'
 James walked close and looked up at the big fellow.
 Do you refer to me, sir?" he inquir- ed, with great dignity and in his usual Bostonese style of conversation.
 "Go way, you little dude," Mike sneered
 James Edward Britt took of his coat and hat and handed them to friend
 Remove your hat and coat, ST. lse said to the tall fighter. Prepare your self, sir, for am going to lick your
 Mike Collins, buttoned his coat anfi laughed. James Edward Britt leaped up from the floor. swung his right f5tl on Collins chin and sent him down and out. The back of Collins head struck the floor with such a crash that he stayed unconscious for half an hour He was laughed out of San Francisco within the next few days.
 When Jimmy Britt turned profession al three years ago he beat Toby Irwin in fifteen rounds. Then he knocked out Kid LaviSne il seven rounds, beating him so badly that Lavigne had to be treated in the Stockton Insane asylum for two months. He knocked out Tin Haggerty oflAustralia in eight rounds and the renowned Frank Erne in six rounds. His sensational victory over Young Corbett in twenty rounds stamp ed him az great fighter, especially when 1t became known that he 5roks his right hand on Corbett's head iH ts;s eighth round. 'H.

 a month in the south and come some where near paying its way while the men were conditioning. But recently so many teams have toured that section that it has become an old story to the people. They have seen all the star players of the country, and exhibition games have small attractions for them.
 ''P ormerly we could stand a slow process of training and break even. Now it has become a question in my mind whether it is not better to cut couple of weeks off the beginning of the trips, go to some health resort where men get into perfect condition in fortnight and then play a few exhibi- tion games on the way home. 1t would be less expensive than a longer trip and would answer better the real pur pose of training trips I look for change in another year"
 Comiskey's pessimistic remarks are close to the fact Weather conditions have been far from perfect for outdoor, stunts, and facilities for indoor exercise or equally beneficial mineral baths are lacking. The few exhibition games played have not been eagerly patron ized by southern fans.
 Brooklyn Affairs.
 Because of the great demands of his bowling business upon his time it was reported that Charles H. Ebbetts, pres ident of the Brooklyn Baseball club, would resign the cares of office and de vote all his energy to his bowling af- fairs. It is granted that Mir. Ebbetts Is a tolerably busy man His bowling al- leys and the other work which be does gratis for bovlers In general are quite enough to take up all of one individu- ars working hours, but MT. Ebbetts hasn't the slightest notion of retiring from the baseball business. On the con trary, he will be at Washington park this summer, and if he preserves his health he will be there for several summers to come, according to bis idea of the matter.
 Those who have been foremost in try ing to make it appear that Brooklyn is rather lost to the baseball world be- cause of the light attendance of the past two seasons seem to be responsi- ble for this rumor In connection with Mir. Ebbetts. "An awful lot of energy is being wasted" said he, ''in the effort to wipe Brooklyn of the. baseball map. l know personally that those who are behind the club are not quite ready to quit just yet. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised If they were in the National league just as long as or perhaps longer than some of the other owners. Brook lyn isn't worrying about it's chances. Give us time, and we will have team that will keep the other fellows worry ing. and then there will be nothing further said about the Brooklyns."
