1t was possible for the crowds in La

they saw them moving toward the
corridor, they knew the ceremony was
over, and a ripple Of excitement spread
through their ranks. StraightWay
there was q movement to the north
gate because of the rumor which was
current that the brida couple would
leave the White House by this en-
trance.
Some of the early watchers around
the White House witnessed an inter-

fore looking for cheap notoriety,' was
the gist of the remarks I heard used by
the players who went thru two seasons
from start to finish without lying down.
You must always tip your cap to men
who have pulled off championship hon
ors, and pass up the boys that can only
squirt to the half or three-quarter pole.
Thursday the National league will
open the regular season, with several
teams in anything but shape, while the
American league will follow suit next
Saturday in about the same condition,
showing the folly Of starting the regu-
lar season about two weeks too soon.
From what I hear down this way,
Comiskey's Chicago Americans look
good for a start, and must be watched
this season even more than last, when
they went along in grand form until the
last ten days. s.
Washington and the Chicago Nation
ais found that training too near home
was dangerous business. The Boston
Americans are in fine shape as far as
fielding and condition is concerned. L
am not particularly struck on their bat
ting strength, as they are straight-away
hitters, and when not sousing the mar
BILE are sure to be- short Of runs.
The old champions, however, will
work hard this season and being loaded
down with sand, will bump many an
aspirant for the golden badge. The
well-handled clubs will reap rich har-
vest this season. ~.

TOM 0 ROURkE TO
4. MANAGE SLAUGHTER
Plans to Have Jeffries Appear and
Clean Up the
. Boards.
By Publishers Press.

By Publishers Press.
New York, April 7.-On the strength
of the recent court order deciding that
twenty round bouts are legal in the
state Of Pennsylvania, Tom o 'Rourke,
the fight promoter, is planning a mann
mouth boxing carnival for his new box
ing club at Essington, Pa, which has
set the boxing fraternity here thinking.
% 'Rourke is to have Champion Jim
Jeffries come east Immediately and set
tie the question between the six heavy
weights who are now claiming the
heavyweight title since the retirement
Of the champion.
O'Rourke today wired Jeffries an
offer of 100000. to come east and meet
Fitzsimmons, Rubin, Burns, Hart
0 'Brien and Kaufman one week apart.
o 'Rourke expects to hear from Jeffries
soon and in the event of his reply being
a favorable one, O'Rourke will go
ahead and make all arrangements for
what promises to be one of the biggest
fstic tournaments ever held in this
country. O'Rourke has in view
several other championship battles
which he hopes to land for his new
club.
"How about Nelson and Gans?''
tNothing DOING said O'Rourke
You couldn't get Nelson in the same
ring with Cans. Nelson has been tolt
to look out for Cans and he is afraid OF
him. They may say what they please
but that is the truth. -

New York, April 4 Whether Sir.
Thomas Upton enters the Shamrock
III. for the Kings cup or not he will
certainly, MS friends say, challenge for
the America IS cup for race next year
with Shamrock Nv.
No order has yet been received from
Sir Thomas to fit out the Shamrock Ill,
which is lying high and dry at Robins
Erie basin, so that yachtsmen are kept
guessing as to mis- intentions and how
much truth there is in the rumors that
he intends competing for the cup pre-
sented by King Edward VII. to the
New Y ork Yacht club.
The rules governing the competition
for the King cup limit it to American
yachtsmen, and this is the cause of
doubt, but as. Sir. Thomas is an honor
airy member of the New York Yacht
club and his boats are on its lists, there
are those who believe that he is eligible
to enter the race. Besides, the New
York Yacht club men would strain a
point and give him hearty welcome.
Others there are, however, who con-
tend that if Sir Thomas may enter for
the cup there is nothing to prevent the
Emperor William, Prince Henry and
others foreign honorary members doing
likewise, and SO making it an interna-
tional trophy

Despite the fact that baseball fandom
generally comedies the leadership in bat:
ting honors to Napoleon Laioie, the
Cleveland player is not entitled to the
award. Lajoie is sone Of the greatest
and most consistent stickers Of the
game, but there are others-several Of
them.
In 1901 Lajoie raped the leather for
:422, while Burkett, the National
1902 Delehanty put Lajoie's nose out Of
joint in the American league, batting
.976, while Lajoie trailed along in sec
ond place with 1863. That season Beau
mont Of the IN ational led that sor ganiz-
alton with .S57 to his or edit. 81. ss
The close of the season in 1903 found
Lajoie and Wagner, the leaders of the
two big leagues in the same position. "A
player stood higher, than the stars in
both leagues thru the fact, that the per-
centage leader had played but a few
games. The National league took up
the matter and President Pulliam pro-
Wagner had played in a I" hundred or
SO more games than the man ahead Of
him, Wagner would be regarded as the
National g champion ash swinger. The
same condition obtained in the Ameri.
can, but Ban Johnson and his crew took
no such trouble in Lajoie Is behalf,
permitting the public to form its own
conclusions. Strangely enough both
men batted at exactly the same clip in
1908, hitting 1855.
In 1904 Lajoie again showed to the
front, batting 1881 for the American
leadership, while Wagner again led the
season no less than three major bats

is not the case. A boxer or fighter can

would resort to manly means to settle
