SPORTING SNAP SHOTS

Freddy Weeks lately defeated

rounds. Hays is the youngster who,
until he tangled up with Weeks,
was whipping all the boys around
the east.
The lid is Off in Chicago and
battles have been arranged there
for Young Corbett. He will meet
Maurice Sayers, Benny Yanger and
another not yet matched. Corbett

ANOTHER BOYCOTT ON
IN IRELAND

DUBLIN, April 27.---A more than
usually determined agitation
against things English has been in
augurated in industrial Ireland.
The Sein Fein and the Gaelic
league are boycotting the Dubln
International exposition, which
opens May 4. The complaint is that
it is really English industry being
exhibited under the Irish name, 1t
seems to be true that English cap
ital Is very largely interested in
the exhibition and that it has Of
fetal support.
The Dublin Industrial Develop
ment association has adopted a
trade mark with an ancient Celtic
design on it and the words in Erse
"Deanta in Eirinn," which means
Made in Ireland" This trad .
mark is to inform lrishmen that the
goods are strictly Irish. 1t may he
that rival exposition may be held
next year.

SAVES BY SYMPATHY

CHICAGO, April 27.-Miss Julia
Gleason, the "angel of the annex"
Is young woman who earned this
title by her endeavors for years
past to win the truant girl inmates
of Chicago's famous prison for
women back to the paths of recti-
tude.
Miss Gleason is a Roman Catho-
lie missionary, devoutly religious,
gentle in manners and possessed OF
the rare power to soothe troubled
minds and win the confidence of
young women who have come to re-
gard all others whom they en-
counter as their natural enemies.
The secret of her effective evan
gelsm among the unfortunates is
explained in the remark many of
her proselytes make after her WIS.,
it's. They say: Miss Gleason
sympathizes with us. She does not
threaten us with an awful fate after
death, or reproach us for what We
have been driven to be in life. She
simply says she is sorry for us and
then she tells us to be better.
Every Sunday morning for years
Miss Gleeson has visited the Har-
rison st. police annex, where all of
the recreant girls of the great city
who fall into the hands of the po-
lice find their way. She conducts re-
ligious services and gives the young
women lectures on moral conduct.
Hundreds have yielded to her solicit
tations to enter Roman Catholic in
situations temporarily to prepare
themselves for lives after their de-
parture therefrom as wives and
mothers.
During the week Miss Gleason is
employed as forewoman in a big
department store. She resides with
her aged mother. whose chief sup
port she is. at IS Jansen av.

OLD FITzSIMMONS
BOBS UP AGAIN
Leaps Into the LimeIieht
With an Offer to Meet
JelfrieS

Bob Fitzsimmons cannot remain mac
tive with the talk Of $4,000 purses con-
stantly ringing in his ears. He has lust
leaped into the limelight with an offer
to tackle James J. Jeffries again for SFO.-
600, Of which $4,000 can go TO charity.
Fitzsimmons says he would be sure Of a
good losers end, and that even IL defeated
ne would guarantee TO put up a more in
teresting argument than squires Of Aus
tralia, Tommy Burns or Jack OBrien.
Bob incidentally expresses "a desire to
meet OBrien again, and says that ne
would also jump at a chance to tackle
Burns. When O'Brien beat Fitzsimnons
on the coast there were many critics at
the ringside who said that the battle had
a queer look. Some Of them went 50 far
as to insinuate that Fitzsimmons got al
the money for stopping Of his own accord.
while % Brien secured enough notoriety
to make him better drawing card on the
road.
Fitzsimmons has not taken part IN a
ring contest since, and many fight fans
have been led to believe that he was
through with the game. In view CT the
fight O'Brien put up recently against
Burns, another meeting between the aged
Cornishman and the crafty Philadelphlan
might be Of passing interest.

ATLANTIC CASE
STILL UNSETTLED
Tri-State League is Received
Into the Baseball Fold
With Restrictions

Forgetting its quarrel Of years stand
ing. one of the most acrimonius and BIT
ter IN baseball annals, the National As
sociation of baseball leagues-the minor
leagues-adopted a resolution yesterday
afternoon at its annual meeting at the
Fifth Avenue Hotel. New York. admit
ting the Tri-state League to membership
IN the association, in Class B.
The board of arbitrntion OF the Ma
tional Association met yesterday morning
and took up the case OF the application
of the Tri-state League for recognition
and protection, eharing the league pres
ident, Charles Carpenter, Of Altoona. Pa.
A w. Lawson and John Dobblns up-
peared for thep roposed Atlantic League.
the latter named man being president Of
the Atlantic organization. on its appncs-
ton for similar privileges.
Then the board adjourned and the Ma
tional Association met the board recon-
mending that the Tri-State League be
recognized. The association voted favor
ably. making certain conditions, which in
substance are:
All players who have heretofore VIC
lated national agreement contracts not
TO be permitted to play in any National
agfeement league except the rri-state
League.
All players Who fave already signed
contracts with the National agreement
clubs. except contract jumpers, to belong
to the clubs with whom they have signed
contracts.
All National Association players not
contract jumpers TO be adjudicated by the
National Board Of the National Associa-
ton.
All National agreement players, includ-
ing contract jumpers, who are to remain

National Association clubs can establish
valid claims for money advanced or re-
ceived. to be required 30 pay back such
money either in fun or by instruments as
may be determined by the National Board

In effect the matter is left so that oil
of the players in the Tri-State League
who came to it under questionable cir
cumstances. may remain in those Leagues
according to P. T. Powers, president Of
the association, in order not to snoil the
nucleus of the league.

GREAT FIELDERS
IN THEIR TIME
Returning Ball For OutfieId
and Base Running Has
Showed Up

Baseball may be a faster game in some
pai ticulars than it was in the sos OF SOS.
but it is undeniably true that in two i'm
turning the ball from the outfield-it has.
slowed up woefully.
There is no Harry Stovey no Jakey
Evans in the game now. Many present .oay
fans remember stovey Of the old Ath-
letics. Not quite so many recall Evans OF
thu old Cleveland team. when the elder
Wesley. Charles Buckley and George W..
Howe were the owners. Season after sea-
son Evans. who played in right field. held
the record for outfeld assists, and al
ways a big percentage Of these assists
were made in throwing baltters out ut
first
Jakey knew the batters of that period
better than any uthelder-excepting pos
sibly, Fielder Jones, Jack Mccarthy and
Silly Keeler-knows them to-day end
laid for them" with an intuition OF
where the ball would be that was mar -el-
Gus. Nowadays it happens once or twice
a season THAT a batter is thrown out at
first by the right fielder after an tppar-
emily safe hit Evans once made three
such assists in a single series. And all the
timo from the beginning TO uhe end OF
the season he was whipping the bali 10
second third and home with a speed AID
accuracy that has never been equaled or
approached.
Harry Stovey scored 1888 runs in the
American Association in 1889. He led all
the fast base runners OF the Brotherhood
in 1890. He was the champion base runner
OF the wonld in 1851 1883 and 1889. He stole
second base almost as easily as the mod
ern player goes down from first on a
sacrifice hit.
