The Birmingham age-herald., 1907-07-06

The association, the baseball writers. and every influential fan has endeavored to patch things up well as possible. What is needed is the welding together of the men into a compact organization, In which neither internal dissention, fric- tion. envy, jealousy, nor spite has place.
 The attack of MT. Sibley could not be considered a literary contribution aiding in that general direction. Inasmuch as 1t does no good, it necessarily does evil. Therefore. if it does evil, 1t was thor oughly out of place, and should have been gently laid away in basket for waste.
 No man can serve two masters. No team can have at the same time two managers. Inasmuch as the owners of the club have placed Manager Vaughn in charge, Mir. Sibley, in giving direc- tons. is thoroughly out of order. It is up to Manager Vaughn. MT. Sibley is not to blame
 Manager Vaughn. be it known, some days prior to the attack of MT. Sibley, notified the men that if they didn't play the game. to the bench they would have to go. He threatened to get new men to take their places, it mattered not whether the new were as good as the old. For goodness sake let the manage ment work out it's own fate. fan has a perfect right to keep himself away from the park. lie IS not cOmpelleu to spend his quarter. nor to occupy a box as the guest of 'one of the largest stock holders.' True, every man has a right to state his opinion when that opinion does no injury to his fellows. But when 1t tends to destroy what another has builded, then it would be better swal- lowed
 In course of the general attack. MT. Sbley makes reference to his offer to raise 5000 for the Barons if they finished as good as third, mentioning that the sporting writers misconstrued his mo- tives.
 The writer, without monconstruing the motive of Mir. Sib-ey. did think and say that the offer, in his opinion, was bad, as setting precedent that could not be established, and therefore, followed.
 Was it because popular opinion instant 1y rejected this offer that MT. Sibley as- sailed the association? The association. as far as known, did not reject the offer, and, therefore, could not have been cen sured
 In another paragraph of the rather lengthy epistle, MT. Sibley declares that one of the stockholders expressed a wish that he (Sibley) owned the franchise. The writer quoted himself as replying that if he did he would have a first division team in Birmingham even If the asso- ciation failed to clear dollar.
 Was it to float an evident desire to

Jeffries Speaks Boldly.

Be it said to the credit of James Jeffries. whose most questionable act was travelling about as the star of a aneodrama, that hc doubted the ability of Squires to defeat Burns, and wondered that the odds were favoring him.
 Well, the fatal day arrived. San Fran cisco, well filled with fighting enthusiasts, was keyed up to a great pitch of excite ment. The "bookies" had busy day. The fight was on every tongue. Many of the spectators, who, come hours later, sat beneath the ring. had come from other states. The Fourth of July spirit tricb1ed through the audience. The crowI was merry. rosy, ready to welcome some thing worth while, something trough and ready" something from the shoulder without softening," something American, truly and solely American. There was l great cheer when the two men faced each other. A great silence settled over the throng and when Jeffries, without thought. dropped a syllable, three dishes were knocked from the table of a nearby Chinese restaurant

Suuires Puerile Admission.

Everybody knows how it ended. The two men came together. Squires was knocked to the floor, but arose with wigging head Again they came to- gether, and again. Squires was sent to the floor, arising some seconds later with a head a trfle more sroggy. Again the men came together, and once more Squres repeated his gymnastic feat, the only difference being that he failed to get up quickly this time. The fight was over The crowd pressed forward, and grasped the hand of the conquerer, for getting that he had confessed to having entered on other occasions fake arrange ments. that he had been worsted in fake matches and that in fake matches he had conquered
 Did you hear the principles talking after the engagement? Squres makes the puerile statement that he had been de- ceved as concerning the stiffness of the Canadians punch. I construe this as an admission that had he been warned to the true stiffness of that punch, he would have taken to the ''t and un-c" rather than face it. Then says Burns 'I had noticed how Squlres held him self in the moving picture fights, and saw that one spot was always unprotect- ed l aimed at that spot
 Chance for Strong Men.
 Well, another remarkable engagement of the ring is over. The two men cleaned up a pot worth $27,0Oo They have now separated for good. and probably never again will Squires be heard of. save when grandparents whisper to little tots stores of the worlds greatest towards, and in competents. Here is the resume Without reputation, Squires came. He fooled the American public to such an extent that he was ptted against the best unretired fighter with the odds in his favor. He entered the ring, was whipped in two minutes and eight seconds, and divided a pot valued at S27000.
 It was clever "get rich quick scheme. Any stalworth American citizen, with agent. could turn the same trick. What strong man in ordinary circumstances wouldn't let Burns hit him three times for sl2,000? He could take dozen punches at the writer with a much lower rate of interest. And do not think that the American public has been taught lesson Americans will spend their money for sports as long as the world stands, The American scents fake, but would rather lose a considerable sum than run the risk of missing something truly worth while.

 In other words, will there come another champion who is champion indeed and worthy of the title now improperly be- slowed upon Burns. For 1t is not believed that Burns is the champion of the world. Indeed, it is my humble opinion that if Jeffries should announce that he would contest the claim of Burns that the latter would silently fold his tent and steal away in the night. l wouldn't blame him, either

The Ingenious Press Agent.


 But l would not make charges The fight was ridiculous enough without. Just at that period when America was filled to the brm with disgust at the Burns O Brien fake, here came Bill Squires. Who is Bill Squires? No one asked that seen!- ingly natural question. An ingenious press agent declared that he had won many re- markable battles in Australia, but the gullible American public refrained from asking, With whom?"
 The ingenious press agent began filling newspaper columns with descriptive mat ter, until the guillible public imagined that Bill Squires had blow sufficient to dislodge G. Washingtons reputation for veracity. The American boxing expert, by old companion, "Naughton," thought that Squires would win the championship belt. He himself an expert, was deceived by the ingenious press agent The splen- did ingenuity of that fellow simply ap- pals when it is remembered that the American public gave odds at ' to 10 on a newcomer, concerning whom no one ol the top side of the green earth knew any thing

Two Recent Fakes.

The game is on the wane. A sport of any variety is kept alive by popular favor. The two recent battles for the world championship-Burn 0 Brien and Bulns- Squres-were frosts, Indeed The first was fake, pure and simple The second was d fake, though probably not in it's inception. Squires didn't have the goods. Now the question is, Did Burns know that Squires didn't have the goods?'
 In other words, was the much advertised match another means of taking from the fool public it's hard earned coin? You will say, ''No Didn't Burns win in one round?" Well enough. but almost any old blind is sometimes raised when the dinary methods of hiding a fake prove futile and dangerous.

A STOP
IRISH CATTLE DRIVING.

DUBLIN. Ireland. Dec. 23.-Ireland's
cattle driving agitation has reached an
acute stage. and during the last few weeks
the utter powerlessness of the government
to deal with 1t has been demonstrated
After trying Intellectually to obtain con-
v~ictions in the local courts the government
brought several men accused Of having
taken part in cattle drives to Dublin for
trial. and although in most cases the evil
dence was absolutely convincing. the Dub
lin iuries refused to convict, taking refuge
In that convenient loophole of escape for
unwilling jurymen-a disagreement. The
natural result Of this is, that cattle driving
has increased. although the priests de-
nounce II.
HI policy Of driving cattle off the
ranches is the subject Of widely divergent
views by men who only look on 1t as a
weapon in the campaign for the breaking
up Of the great grazing ranches. The ar
gument in favor of It, Of course, is that
1t make grazing impossible. and compeIs
the graziers to surrender The ranches TO
the estates commissioner TO be broken
I'D into farms, while those who oppose It
say the government cannot afford to take
over farms from which the tenants have
been driven by unlawful means.

SLATE IS CHANGED
DUGDALE Is AHEAD FOR
WATER PURVEY0R.
New Majority in Kearny Council Shifts
Things Around a
Bit.

At a caucus of the combination that will
control the next Kearny Council, held on
Saturday night at the home of Mayor
elect Louis NJ. Brock. some changes were
made, it is said. in the slate that was an
nounced several days ago. The most i'm
portant change was that of water pur-
veyer, as a successor to Richard Veale,
who retires to accept the SUPPLEMENTARY
of the New York and New Jersey Subur-
ban Water Company. 1t was practically
agreed that Edward Dugdale of the Second
Ward, would be named for the office.
This appeared to be agreeable to all
parties, although Building Inspector Ralph
S. Young has had his eye on the place.
for 1t was intimated that possibly John T.
Castles would succeed Young, who was
appointed a month ago to fill the unex-
pired term of Frederick w. Dashe, re-
signed.
l.. w. Wilson and William Nairn would fill
the vacancies on the board OF assessors as
successor to Assessor Edward Sergeant and
to fiji the vacancy on the board that has
signed. Henry Crookhall was appointed,
but he never assumed the duties.
Street Commissioner Hugh McQuoid will
succeed himself, as also will Janitor Samuel
Currey, of the Town Hall. Town Attorney
]. Franklin Crowell has been stated for
reappointment, as we'll as Town Surveyor
Harry G. Kreiner.
The Board of Health situation is puzzline
the majority. 1t is likely that both Secre-
tary Leonard Phylikey and Vital Statisti-
clan Charles Schiller will go, Nevin Kennedy
to be ~reappointed and John Thomson to be
appointed a member of the body. John
Durkin or Henry w. Schmale may be the
third appointee. In that event DR.. M. w
Clouse would probably succeed DR.. James
A. Exton as health officer.
Overseer of the Poor lsaac Oliver, who
has served faithfully several terms, will be
reappointed.
The question as who would he the leader
in the Council was undecided between
| Councilman John Davidson, jr:, and David
| w. Reid. The former will probably be the
spokesman.
