in {: few sections, the highways of

country. and surely the worst in New

Tor with the advent of the automobile
Il letter condition of affairs has come,
and thousands Of dollars are now be-
ms expended annually by the State
towns and cities for the bettcrmcnt of

One of the greatest steps toward the
advancement of the good roads move
lnent in Maine was the recent act of
the Legislature which created a com

JOHNSON ISSUES Def.
Warts to Meet Tommy Burns in Bcut
at Los Angeles.

New York. Dec. ?-,Tack johnson. th''
colored heavyweight champion Of tn"
world. Saturday hurled out a challenge
to Tommy Burns that the latter cannot
well refuse without hurting his reputation
considerably. The negro's latcSr PROPOSE
ton rs that Burns should meet him in tn

Johnson does not stop Burns within til"

This offer was telegrarhed to Tom Ne
Carey. the manager Of the Pacific 4. a..
and Johnson says he thinks that II ought
to draw favorable reply, despite the al
titude he showed when the last offer was
made.
Neither Jack Johnson nor his manager
Sam Fitzpatrick. is disturbed over the &C
ton of Tommy Burns in getting ont Of q
hattie with the negro by hiding behind
the refusal of Manager NcCarcy Of the
Los Angeles Club to bid for the contest
1T is lust what we expected. said
Fitzpatrick. This man Burns is lust as
much afraid Of Johnson rs Jeffri,S, kauf-
man and O'Bricn. and they are al in the
general scheme to keep johnson out of
the ring. But We will bide or time
Sooner or later one of them will he cOrl-
PEELED to fight Johnson. and the latter
will then be the undisputed worlds
champion.
II suppose O'Bripn and Burns will now
arrange another match Then one az them

the collar and told Ehbets that if Jor-
Dan and Lumley We're allowed to go no
would send in his resignation. Ebbets
argued with Donovan in vain.
The manager declared that to sell
Jordan and Lumley would be ecliya-
lent to killing the game in BrookIyn
where the interest began to revive last
season to such an extent that tie club

Informed Donovan that with part of

he could secure McGann and Browne

his foot down, declaring that jordan

or Ebbcts could look for a new rlana-
ser.
Ebbets, it will be recalled, sold
Dah!en to the New York club. and al
so stood ready to hand over Sheckard
but the latter was finally traded to
Chicago. To get $4,000 for two ball
players, no matter how valuable they
might be to the Brooklyn club. is re-
garded as too great a temptation for
Ebbets to resist in view OF the fact
that the business end of the game at
Washington park has always cut more
of a factor than the players end.
Manager Donovan, in opposing the
deal, is acting as champion for the
Brooklyn fans. who have stood by the
club at all times. Donovan has chance
to provide a winning club and natur-
ally does not feel like weakening his
team for the sake of helping the New
YOrkS to make a winning fight. AS
matter of fact. the National League is
decidedly alarmed over the situation
here and there seems to be a desire to
bolster up McGraw's team at any cost.
with the idea of keeping up the public
interest in the game at the Polo
grounds.
1t would be a bitter pill for the
Brooklyn fans to swallow if they We're
shown that their club was merely n
farm" for McGraws team. They have
been loyal to the Brooklyn club own
ers in the past and they feel that their
wishes in this matter are entitled to
respect. Instead of developing young
players as other clubs are in the habit
of doing, the New York Nationals have
depended upon the payment of cash
for new men who have been handed
over with little or no reluctance.
