ried The limit of the players that
club can possess is fourteen, as was the
case last year.
However, the wedding OUT process,
by which manager gets rid of all sur
plus players, will not be necessary un-
til thirty days after the beginning of the
season. Heretofore, the time limit was
May l, of each year. The extension of
some ten days was granted by a unani-
nous vote on the earnest petition OF
President (ickenson of Atlanta. 1t was
the general belief of the voters on this
proposition that Manager Smith had cor
rallied such a large number of players
that to sift the good from the bad would
require a longer time than twenty days
To the credit of President Kuhn of
Nashville, quite a humorous "sklt" was
carried out concerning the above. In his
argument President Dickinson referred
to the fact that. the weather in early
spring was worse In Atlanta than in
New Orleans. After the voting President
Kuhn desired to explain why he cast his
ballot in favor of the Gate City mag
mates petition He then declared that
he was moved to his act on account of
the fact that one Atlanta man had vol

In that city was inferior to something

The making of new schedule was left
to President Kavanaugh. He will appoint
some member of the league to assist
him, and there is no doubt but that the
official SCHEDULE fixer, Michael Angus
Finn, will be the chief adviser.
This proposed schedule will be adopted
at the spring meeting of the league. which
will be held towards the end of Feb
ruary in Atlanta. Atlanta was selected
over New Orleans. chiefly on account of
the fact that Chief Joyner. who at that
time will be Mayor of the city. has prom

FOURTEEN BOXERS
DIE IN THE RING
Fatalities for 1906 Greater
Than Two Previous Years
THREE NOTED FIGHTERS
Recent Death of Mike Ward Most I'M
portant-Pugilists Should Sub
nit to Physical Examina-
ton Before Fighting.

More boxers were killed in the ring this
year than in 1904 and 1905 combined. Five
entirely unknown fighters died from in
juries received in the ring in the year of
1904, and in the year following six men
were killed. This year the ring fatalities
numbers fourteen, says the Washington
Post
Three well-known professional boxers
were among the victims the most noted
being Mike Ward of Sarnia Ont, who
was killed by Harry Lewis now being
held for murder. Among the other prom
inent ring artists who passed to eternity
were Harry Tenny, who died after his
fight with Frankie Neil at Frisco. and
Jimmy Grove, who was fatally injured in
his bout with Billy Snailham at Everett,
Wash.
Most of the boxers who died from ring
engagements were poorly trained and
really had no business in the ring, many
of them suffering from physical defects.
At least a half dozen of the men who died
from boxing were injured In friendly
bouts In which neither fame nor fortune
was at stake The one great fault with
those who promote boxing matches Is
that they allow young fellows to go in
the ring without undergoing a thorough
physical examination.
A doctor should look over every person
who wishes to engage in public boxing
bout. Outlines the principals in boxing
match are persuaded to put on the gloves
by their friends Just for bit of amuse-
ment, and Just as soon as the blows begin
to sting them the boys go at 1t In earnest,
and being without physical training, they
succumb to overeXertion, and often the
bout terminates fatally.
Cause Serious Arguments.
Murders were more numerous among
the boxing fraternity this year than
usual The only local fighter killed was
Young Walcott, colored, who was stabbed
to death by another colored man. In
Chicago a couple of weeks ago Diamond
Dick Tarpey, a boxer of some reputation
around the Windy City, was killed in
quarrel. At Hammond, Ind, on Septem-
Der 10, Ferguson L.aduen killed Paddy
Golden in an argument over the Goldfeld
fight.
Three other murders are credited to the
GansNelson fight The day after the con-
test there were many fights and cuttings
In various parts of the country among
men who argued on the respective merits
of the two boxers. In New York city on
August 10, Jimmy Murtha, a pugilist,
was shot and killed by William Killock.
Diamond Dick Tarpey, however, was the
only man of any promise In boxing who
was wllfully murdered. Joe Nell, who
was murdered by some unknown person
at Greenwich Conn, last Saturday was
not very well known in the game.
OF the boxers accidentally killed out of
the ring, Johnny Richie was the best
known. Richie. while hunting at San
Diego, Cal. accidentally discharged his
gun with fatal results. Others were

Betting on Gans-Herman Fight.

Tonopah, New, December 29.-Barring
a five-mile early morning sprint over the
country roads, through snow and slush,
Cans and Herman did little in the way
of exercising today.
II am ready to go into the ring at
a moments notice." said Herman. after
returning from his jaunt. Betting was
practically nil today in the local pool
rooms
Herman's manager has received a tele-
gram from Harry Worden of Chicago,
stating that he has $4,000 to wager on
Herman and requesting that the money,
at odds of 2 to /. The money has been
telegraphed here and Cans has virtually
agreed to take the $4,000 at the prevailing
odds Manager Riley of the Casino club
says he is in receipt of telegram from
James ]. Jeffries, in which the boiler
maker states that he will leave Los An
geles tonight to attend the fight.

The first debt was founded on hope
The man who borrowed hoped he could
pay 1t back, and the. man who lent 1t
wouldn't have done so If he had not
hoped the same.
1t Is said that hope springs eternal.
But this is not always necessary for hope
to do. In many cases we do not give
hope a chance to spring, but grab it pro-
maturely and drag it out
There is no workman so skilled as
hope. Hope makes the constructor OF tbs

For even In the dishes 1t prepares for

We should take as much hope as possi-

vitality. AS tonic taken in moderate
doses 1t is unequaled.
Therefore do not enter any place whe: Q
you must leave hope behind. When you

The season will begin early in April,
most probably the 10th of the month";
one day earlier than the beginning of
last season. One hundred and forty games
will be played the same number as last
year 1t was agreed that after the east
ern and western teams had played
series among themselves, the east should
first visit the west. This means that the
season shall conclude in the east. The
above was the programme last year.
Judge Kayanaugh was authorized to
make a contract for the publication of q
uniform ticket of admission. to be used
in all cities. The passes will be uniform
In all cities, too. Both the tickets and
the passes will bear the union label.
Before adjourning the league renewed
it's annual contract with the Western
Union Telegraph company.
Another interesting matter was an in
formal petition from the Cotton States
league for permission to enter New Or
leans. As to grant this petition would be
a violation of the national agreement,
IL was of course, not acted upon. The.
entrance of the Cotton States into New
Orleans would be followed by entries into
Birmingham and Memphis, and would be.
of course, unpleasant. Such precedent
would be followed, too, by an entrance
of Atlanta on the part of the South
Atlantic.
The above about covers the league
meeting. The attendance was full and rep
resentative. In addition to those whose
names were published yesterday morn
ing President Kuhn, Manager Dobbs and
Bradley Walker arrived from Nashville,
as did Mr.. Rather from Little Rock. Sam
Giffard of Chattanooga was present yes
terday, and he stated the readiness of
that Tennessee city to take advantage
of the first opening to enter the Southern
league, explaining that he could guaran-
tee an abundance of money and enthu-
siasm.

GEO. Hurry BURIED
IN COLUMBUS, MISS.

Planning to Erect New Building.
Other Columbus News.

Columbus, Miss, December 29-(Spe-
cial.)-The remains of Mr.. George Hurry,
a resident of this city in days gone by
were brought to this city, his birthplace,
and inferred in Friendship cemetery this
afternoon. The funeral services were held
at the Church of Annunciation. Mr.. Hurry
died suddenly in Portsmouth, Va, on
Christmas day. His wife and daughter
were in this city to spend the holidays
and were expecting him to join them
here. Mr.. Hurry was born in this city
and lived here until a grown up young
man. He leaves a wife and daughter and
several brothers and sisters, to mourn
him.
The merchants and business men gem
orally are expressing themselves as be-
ing very we'll pleased with the trade
during the holidays. Notwiths landing the
very cold weather for three or four days
prior to Christmas all the stores were
crowded with shoppers and the merchants
sold lots of goods. The trade the day
after Christmas was good and is con-
tnuing so and this city will have a just
cause for bright hopes for a prosperous
new year.
For some time past the directors of
the Columbus and Insurance Banking
company have been considering the cree
ton of a new building. The building the
bank now occupies is far too small for
the large amount of business it trans
acts and the directors have had plans
drawn for a handsome brick and stone
building and will erect the same and use
the ground floor now occupied by john
sons millinery establishment, the same
being the banks property.

The democrats of Wisconsin in their
platform just adopted remind the coun-
try that the republican national com
mittee has not made restitution of the
large sums received from the life insur-
ance corporations flched from the funds
that should have been sacred to the
widows and orphans of policy holders.
The plank adopted condemns the re-
publican party for the acceptance of the
policy holders money and demands,
that the same be restored. Now Presi-
dent Roosevelt has five months holiday
before him. there can be no excuse. for
lack of time, for his not taking up the
matter with Chairman Cortelyou and
ordering that restitution of these taint-
ed funds be made to their rightful
owners.
