BRITT WANTS
EVEN FIGHT PURSE

CHICAGO, January s.-Joe Cans. the
Chicago and begun week engagement in
a local theater.
For the first time since his memorable
but unfortunate contest with Terry Meow
ern in Tattersall's, now over six years ago,
the public saw him in action in this city
Besides showing a mite of prowess, Cans
set at rest several rumors For one thing
he denied that he will fight Jack O'Brien
at least for some time to come. Instead,
he says he has passed lis word that he
will meet Jimmy Britt in Tonopah on ST.
Patricks day. and that he will go through
with it unless Britt puts too many OBJ
stacles In the way. The weight is all right
Cans will make 1873 pounds at the 'rngside
for James Edward. The thing that Britt
Is hanging out for Is an even split of the
money. and that Cans absolutely will not
stand for.
"There must be winners and losers
end" said cans. and when he said it he
showed that he had no idea of making
Britt present Of anything
II would like the money split Is per cent
he continued. but 1 will do as well as 60
and 40 to get the match. Britt will not get
an even split with me, and the amount of
money he gets In any contest with me will
depend upon how we'll he can fight"
Cans Is crazy to get Britt into the ring
again. The two men fought once and there
are few that have forgotten that contest.
Cans won on foul after Britt had appar-
emily beaten the negro to pulp.
That, said Cans, was his last crooked
fight. He broke with AL HEREFORD and Is
now his own boss. He is fighting on the
square" now and naturally wants to show
the public that there are not enough Britts
In the world to beat him.

amined into the state of the French turf
to the effect that should the tapes of the
starting barrier break at a start, that start
shall be declared void. This was adopted.
Another proposition was that one of the
stewards shall accompany the starter to
the starting points, in order to verify the
incidents which occur there. We have had
in this country fer some years a starting
judge.

MINOR LEAGUE
MOGULS VERY BUSY

NEW YORK, January S.-With twenty
seven cases on it's docket for considera-
ton. the board Of arbitration Of the Ma
tional Association Of Professional Base
Ball Leagues met here yesterday for a ses-
sion which is expected to continue through
the greater part Of the week. One of the
most important matters to be considered
by the board is that of the division of ter
ritory between the Tri-State and Atlantic
Leagues. The latter is a new organization.
The two leagues collide in territory in
Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware.
The Tri-State League has been heretofore
claSsed as an outlaw" but it is expected
that it will be taken into the National AS
ISOLATION
The first case heard was that OF an ap-
peal of the Cniontown, Pa, club from the
decision of President Richard r. Guy of
the Pennsylvania. Maryland and Ohio
League. who as referee had allowed four
games to the Braddock. Pa, tying it with
the Uniontown club. Attorney John M.
Ward appeared for the appealing club. Mr..
Guy appeared as witness.
The board decided that Mr.. Guy had
acted in good faith. but the Unontown ap-
peal was sustained, which gives the
league pennant to the Unontown team.
The board took up the protest of the
same league against the application of the
newly organized Western Pennsylvania
League, the latter desiring that the city Of
Mckeesport be assigned to it. The board
decided that nasmuch as McKeesport is
but three and one-half miles from Brad
dock. Pa, and that as the latter city is
under control of the up. o. NJ" this
league is entitled to it under the Five
mile rule"
A condition is made that the up. o. NJ
must operate the territory" however.
An application of the Texas League for
advancement from class to class B was
denied. Glass c circuits have from 100000
to 100000 aggregate population in the
cities comprising the league. and class B
circuits embrace cities ranging from 4OO.-
The board, however. permitted the union
of the Texas and Southern Texas Leagues
which was the cause of the application for
Redistribution. In the new league there
are to be these cities: Austin, Dallas, Fort
Worth. Galveston, San Antonio, Houston
and Cleburne. The league is to have called
upon the cities of Temple, Lake Charles
and Beaumont

thirteen years a patient in the Bushwick

fortune estimated to be more than a mil

son. Eugene Anderson who is about forty
years old resides in Katonah. N. Y Had
it not been for his love for liquor he would
have come into his own some time ago.
Failure to exercise sufficient will power,
however, stood in the path to his fortune,
as the trustee of the estate refused to deliver
the money to him. A long period of total
abstinence won for him the much-longed-
for fortune. AS soon as the formalities
regarding his fortune are completed Ander-
