BASE BALL
As A FOOTLIGHT HERO
BURNS IS A F|zzLE

A Frisco dispatch says that Tom.
my Burns didn't create such a fu-
rore as a footlight hero as he had
expected. He wound up his little
ball of yarn last night when the box
office receipts looked like a phony
dollar on crap game after the star
roller of the worries had cleaned the
bunch and had ambled off with his
wad. Burns was frost. His open
ing performance was not a bowling
success, although if the people had
turned out as we'll for the balance
of his week S engagement he would
have made pretty penny
That night, when it was time for
the musicians to tune up, there
wasn't any noise like the sound OF
money and the fiddler declined to
fiddle and the drummer refused to
beat the drum. In consequence those
who had PUNCHED up to see the cham
pion heavyweight and his aggrega-
ton of vaudeville artists, were oblig-
ed to have their money refunded.
The lights were lowered and Tom
my packed up his belongings and
stole out quietly into the night.
This will be cheerful news to Jack
johnson. That dusky champion is
willing to back his def with real ma
yuma, and now that Burns has DEM
onstrated that he hasn't the magnet
ic power possessed by Jim Corbett to
draw the dollars into the little win
dow outside the door, he'll probably
talk business with Jimmy Coffroth
when he makes proposal to the
Canadian to fight Johnson at Ocean
View in September. Burns has said
that he no longer draws the. color
line, and as the public is anxious to
see Johnson hook up with him in the
ring, he should cancel his theatrical
engagements and stick to boxing. II
he can't make good here he certainly
will receive a coll reception in other
towns.

A MISUNDERSTANDING
BENEFIT FOR SILER

Tom Andrews, the we'll known
sporting editor and whose books on
sporting data have reached every
nook and corner of this country
writes as follows on the George Siler
testimonial, which will take place at
the Coliseum, Chicago, on September
23d:
"The followers of sporting events
in Chicago-not boxing alone-but
all the various branches, are showing
their appreciation of George Siler,
the veteran referee of the boxing
game (the grand old man among
referees) by giving him farewell
testimonial in that city on his sixty
first birthday, September 23, 1907.
Mr.. Siler has been a credit to the
boxing game. His writings in the
Chicago Tribune for years have been
most interesting, his criticisms all
ways looked for by followers of the
sport, his opinions on all big matches
always sought, and last of all he has
always been considered honest in his
work, which is far above all other
attributes in ring parlance. Siler
has earned his right to retire from
active work as referee, but followers
will be pleased to know that he in
tends to furnish them with boxing
news and gossip as heretofore. Here
is hoping that they pack the Coli
scum September 23d."
Similar letters reach the headquar-
tiers of the Siler farewell testimonial
with every mail, and 1t looks like
the wishes of Andrews, SO far as
packing the Coliseum goes, will sure
ly take place.

Joe Cans has fallen for the gar.

attended the Britt-Nelson go clad in

thing in his mitts that looked like a
pancake.
Cocky O'Brien. who was seated
near Willus Britt, looked inquiringly
at the flattened beanie. Nonchalant-
ly Cans expanded the bonnet, SO that
it evolved into full-fledged stove
pipe. Cocky watched, fascinated.
"Pipe the accordion hat" he whis-
pered to Willus.
That's an opera hat" explained
the voice of the Britt family.
Den I'm going to cultivate me
voice and learn Eyetalian," said
Cocky. de frankfurters will never
rest easy on me stomach till I get
one of them beanies. Dere's nothin'
but class to dat bonnet. De only
thing I can say against it is dat it
amt no protection. If guy saps
you on the nut that things goin' to
cave in and you gets the full benefit
of the wallop. I'm goin' to wear a
brick in mine and any fresh guy dat
tries to cave it in will bust his mitt. :"

THE SHORTAGE OF
JOCKEYS EXPLAINED
An Analysis Shows That The Owners
Are Largely Responsible For
This Condition.

When one takes the time to criti-
cally analyze the running of the races
it is found that all the talk about a
jockey famine is largely the fault of
the owners and trainers themselves.
There are several riders who have
shown good horsemanship in the sad
die every time they have been put
up, but they seem unable to secure
good mounts except in their own
stables. Owners are prone to look
to one of the top notch riders, and
when they are not available they
take an inexperienced exercise boy
in their own employ. At the same
time there are many to be found
that do not have mounts enough to
make the public familiar with their
names.
Drummer, the lad who has recently
been plotting Go Between in his
races, is one of the jockeys that has
thus far escaped any outside en-
gagement. In riding Go Between he
has demonstrated that he is capable
of handling The Meddler horse with
as good, or better results, than a
Martin, Miller, Dugan, Notter, Noun
tain, or, in fact, any of the others
that are at present in such ready
demand. 1t may be that Drummer is
familiar with the horse, but there is
no reason why he should not give a
good account of himself on any other
if the opportunity came.
w. Dugan rode as snug race on
Nealon in the Suburban as has been
seen this season, though he is very
seldom engaged for outside mounts.
His handling of Electioneer In the
Coney Island Jockey club stakes was
all that coulr have been asked,
though the Voter colt was unable to
take, down any part of the purse.
John Hennessy, who rode for Will
Shields, found so little to do in the
east that he is now plotting the
Shields horses in the west. Had he
been afforded riding chances there is
little doubt but he would have been
a, valuable addition to the riding
ranks. Beckman has recently earned
his way into some recognition, but
it was only because he was riding
for stable that had frequent en-
tries and his handling of the horses
of Frank ]. Farrell finally attracted
attention of other trainers.
Guy Burns is lightweight who is
entitled to many more mounts than
come his way, and both Lowe and
Brussel would do better if they were
in more frequent demand. Knapp,
who steered Frank Gill to victory
recently, is not kept as busy as a
rider of his ability should be, and
Harry is a lightweight that has been
showing fair amount of skill in the
saddle.
There are several others that can
not be called to mind at present, but
the fact remains that there are al
ways better boys idle than many of
those that are riding.-New York
Morning Telegraph.

An Awful Ordeal.

Quite a sensation was created last
week in one of the sister lodges in
Utah over the resignation of a newly
initiated young lady member. There
was nothing startling about the fact
of a young lady signifying her in
tention to join another lodge. In
the wording of the withdrawal, how
ever, the lady stated that as she was
a new member, she was afraid she
would not be able to stand the Sc
we're tests that were forced upon
members of this lodge. 1t is need
brought about an investigation,
which disclosed some peculiar ideas
about testing the faith of some of
the members.
1t seems that one of the good old
brothers was discoursing to her on
the beauties and teachings, and her
duties to the order. The young lady
was very attentive to what the good
man was saying; her eyes looked
trustingly into his, her lips were
parted in tempting manner, far too
tempting for the brother, who unlike
st. Anthony, could not withstand the
temptation of kissing her, much to
her surprise and dismay. When the
good old brother saw the effects his
his action had upon her, he made a
bold front of it, and told her what
he had done was one of the tests she
would have to undergo, and doubt
less would have succeeded in making
her believe his story had she not con-
fided in a friend who advised her to
withdraw.
What really will happen to the
poor old brother is hard to tell. 1t
will be safe to say, however that he
will not be apt to recline upon a bed
of roses, as there is a wife to heard
from, and they say she has blood in
her eye.

CoFFROTH OFFERS
A GOOD SIZED PURSE
Wants to Match For Tommy Burns
and johnson For COlma
Fight.

NEW YORK, Aug. 6.--Charley
Harvey, the fight promoter, who acts
as James Coffroth's eastern repre-
sentative, received a telegram from
Coffroth today stating he would give
a purse of $4,000 for forty-five
round fight between Jack Johnson,
the colored heavyweight, and Tommy
Burns, to take place at Colma, Sep
TENDER 9th. Coffroth said in the
telegram that Burns had agreed to
fight, and he asked Harvey to make
arrangements with johnson for the
match. Harvey says he will see Sam
Fitzpatrick, Johnson's manager, with
out delay, and he is confident John
son will accept the offer Immediate
ly. Coffroth states that the fight
will be for the heavyweight cham
pionship of the world. The agree
ment which Johnson made recently
to meet Sailor Burke in the ring will
doubtless now be called off on ac-
count of Cogroths proposition.

NE TOLD THE COURT
THE WAY TO JUMP

Judge Nutter of Stockton secured
other morning. 1t was during the
examination of John Mcnamara, al
legged to be insane. 1t appears that
the old fellow had been taken into
custody while peddling water in bot
ties and claiming that it was the
greatest preparation ever known for
cleansing clothing, removing grease
spots, etc. In court he made spiel
about the virtues of his preparation.
Are you the patentee of this prep
aration?" asked the court, by way
of getting line on the old fellows
reasoning powers.
whats thot? What's thot? Dim
joomper."
"A jumper?" repeated the court.
''Thot's what. If We be goin' to
joomp off buildin always joomp
backwards; strike on yer toes and
give a spring, an yell never git
hurried"
How high a building can you
jump from?" was asked.
Fifty foot" asserted the man.
"You had better be careful about
that" admonished the judge; you
might land in such way that you
would get injured"
"Oi'll show ye," exclaimed the old
fellow, as he rose to his feet and ex-
citedly threw off his coat.
Before the man could give dem
onstration of his ability as jumper
the court made him put on his coat
and resume his seat. There is no
telling what the man might have
done if left to himself. He would
probably have essayed a backward
leap out of one of the windows.
Needless to remark, he was duly
committed to the state hospital.

NEW YORK, Aug. Sit looks
as If the Keene horses will eclipse
any record ever made for one stable.
Time was when the candidates that
carried the white and blue spots won
more than 1925. 900 for the financier,
but this year their winnings will be
far above that amount. So far they
have gathered in about 100000,
and with some rich prizes that are
yet to come his total will surely
reach 100000. This is a phenom-
email sum for one stable to gather in
