GAME LOSES A FEATURE.
President Murphy Bewaiis Club
house Idea for Visitors.

Chicago. Dec. 20.-Charles Webb Muir
ply. president Of the Cubs. does not relish
the plan Of having clubhouses at the diff
ferent baseball parks for the use Of the
visiting teams. He believes that the bus
ride from the hotel to the grounds is
big advertisement for the game, and that
II attracts attention. Moreover, he thinks
that people Ike to see the players issue
out of the gate az the end Of the match
and take their places in the rig.
In addition 20 this, Murphy says that
PLAYERS are liable to be late in coming
TO the grounds if they do not travel in a
bunch. Then, too. there is the danger Of
having a visiting player recognized Oh
the elevated or on a street car and in
suited by rabid fans if the man be un-
popular. This may precipitate a fight. or
something of that character. But more
than anything else, It takes away a big
portion Of the advertisement the match
receives.

Game-JeHries' Reply TO Burns.

New York. Dec. 20.-James J. Jeffries
has been heard from regarding the posi-
bility of his ffghting again, and incident
ally meeting Jack Johnson, the colored
heavy weight for a $4,000 purse. alleged
10 have been offered in good faith by Tex
Richard, the GOldheld promoter. Jeffries
SAYS with unmistakable emphasis that
under no circumstances will he ever agree
TO fight Johnson. and gives as his reason
that he has drawn the color line and viii
never change his mind. In declaring that
it is against his principles to fight
negro, he possibly forgets that the first
time he ever showed himself to New York
fight fans, it was I'm a ten-round bout at
the old Lenox Athletic Club, with Bob
Armstrong, the colored sparring partner
Of Tom Sharkey Jeffries at that time
was glad to accept d match with Arm
strong. wnom he failed TO knock out in
side Of the limit. although he got the
decision on points But JeffTies was only
a novice then and had no right to dictate.
Where Does johnson FIEures
Ever since Johnson loomed up among
the heavy-weights. Jeffries has barrel
him. As a matter of fact, Johnson, in
view of the defeat he received at the
hands Of Marvin Hart. who was later
an easy mark for Tommy Burns. has
done really nothing to win a meeting
with Jeff. But if johnson could defeat
the winner Of the prospective Burns
O'Brien mill. he would then be in a posi-
- s.ra.e-reEffpn the
champion.
Having eliminated Johnson from the
situation. however Jen. tempted by the
big purses that are 'being offered by the
different Nevada mining towns. says that
be- VIII come out Of his retirement and
fight again under two conditions. one is
that his opponent shall be Burns. if the
latter can decisively defeat O'Brien, and
the other is that $4,000 purse must be
hung up.
JeRries' Reply 10 Burns.
II is said that Burns, right after his
recent mill with O'Brien. asked JEFF if he
would make a match The boilermaker
is reported 10 have replied:
Bent O'Brien. decisively first, and you
can have battle with me, If a suitable
purse is offered"
As Burns is considered Il better man
than O'Brien, and as the pictures Of their
recent mill. now on exhibition in this
city. show Burns 10 be the master Of the
situation IT all stages. it is reasonable
To suppose that Burns has chance 20
put O'Brien away in "a fight to a finish,
provided one is arranged. IN that event
Jen and Burns would come together. and
the prize viii probably amount 20 $0.e0,
or even more. as half dozen Nevada
promoters would vie with one another in
scramble for the match.
It has been definitely settled that JET
fries will referee the Cans fight on New
Years Day Herman wanted George
Siler, of Chicago. but Cans and the man
ger Of the club prevailed upon the white
boxer to take Jeffries, in spite OF the fact
that Siler is probably the most competent
and trustworthy boxing referee in
America.
