CUT HIM OUT.
Hon. Robert W. Davis Don't Want to
Be Governor Of Florida.

Gainesville, July 1S.-Among the
prominent visitors to this city We'd
nesday was Hon. Robert W. Davis,
who spent a few hours here en- route
from Palatka to his home in Tampa.
The genial ex-congressman was for
many years resident of Gainesville
and has many ardent friends and adj
mirers throughout this section. As
a result he was kept busy shaking
hands during his brief stay here.
When asked about the prospects Of
his succumbing to the solicitations
and desires of his friends to enter the
gubernatOrial race, Col. Davis re-
piled:
while appreciate very keenly the
interest manifested and fidelity Of my
friends, will not be a candidate for
governor. Ihave gone to Tampa witt
my family for the practice Of my pro-
fession, am well pleased with that
city and its good people, and will be
content to remain plain citizen in
future, devoting my time to my pro-
fession and friends. You may say that
| will not be a candidate and that is
about all that can be said in the mat
ter"

SOUTHERN GROCERS.
VanHOOse was Reelected as President
By Safe Majority.

By Safe Majority.
Baltimore, July 1s.-The annual
convention of the Southern Grocers'
Association adjourned yesterday to
meet at Asheville. N. c.. next July.
President ]. A. VanHoose, Of Birm-
ingham, Ala, was reelected as were
also all the present officers and men,
bers of the advisory board, except
First Vice President G. NJ. Thompson,
OF New Orleans, who was replaced by
Henry Forcheimer, of Mobile, Ala.
The position Of secretary was left
to be filed by the advisory board. Mr..
VanHoose, who has served as presi-
dent for six years, was opposed by D.
NJ. White, of Memphis, Tenn. The lat
ter's candidacy, however. aroused
considerable resentment among the
VanHOose adherents, and an aerim-
onious discussion lasting nearly two
hours preceded the voting. Van
Hoose won on the first ballot 10 to
so. The objection to Mr.. White
seemed based mainly on the fact that
he was comparatively a new conner in
the ranks of the wholesale grocers.

DAVIS TO
MANAGE CHICAGO

George Davis returned to the East sew
eral days ago, and is going to take a base
ball team to Cuba for a three weeks trip.
He told a friend in Philadelphia that next
year he would return to Chicago as man-
ager of the white Sox. About two months
ago It was reported that George Davl
would succeed Clark Griffith as manage
of the New York Americans. Blu it is
more than likely that Griffith will again be
in command of the Highlanders.
During the past week a report came from
New York that Owner Farrell was decker
ing with Manager Mack to secure Harry
Davis for manager. When seen about the
matter Davis said he had heard nothing
about it, and furthermore, that he did not
care to leave the Athletic Club. st think
you will find Griffith again at the head Of
the New forks next year, Notwithstanding
the many rumors as to who will be his
probable successor"
Fielder Jones. who has led the While
Sox so successfully for several years, has
Invested his savings in a business with
his brother at Portland, Ore, and has de-
cided to retire permanently from The game.
In fact, the business his brother started
at Portland has grown to such proportions
that Jones will have to give all his time
to assist his brother.
The loss of Fielder Jones and Tsbell, who
has purchased the Wichita (Kan) Club,
means that Davis will have to hustle TO
get several new stars for next year. The
deal for Parent will probably fall through
because Jake Stahl refuses to go to New
York. The Sox will also need another first
class pitcher for next season.

NEW YORK, Oct. 25.-When the
Deutschland hauled out into the stream
Wednesday from the pier in Heboken 1t had
aboard Noah Brusso, otherwise known as
Tommy Burns, who is on his way to
England to meet Gunner Moir, the Eng
lish heavyweight champion, and take from
that person the title in order that upon
his return he may rightfully claim to be
Jeffries's successor as the champion heavy
weight Of the world. Tommy has no doubt
that he will be the victor in the fight,
but it's a sure thing that he will be mighty
careful to size NOR up before he gets into
the ring with him, for Tommy is a eau
tious fighter and wants to know the fine
points of his opponents work before he
comes within arms reach of him.
Tommy feels no anxiety at all about the
injury to his back which he received in
the train wreck in Colorado on his va

BOSTON AFTER
NEWARK
CLUB
Taylor Would Like Eastern
League Franchise Burn
ham TO Manage Again.

Having failed in his effort to purchase
the franchise of the Rochester Eastern
League Club. John I. Taylor, president
of the Boston Americans, according to a
report, will endeavor to buy the Newark
Club or a good interest therein. 1t is said
that President Taylor will visit this city
personally in a few days. and. should the
deal go through, would turn over most Of
his surplus major league material to help
build up a winning combination here.
Manager Walter w. Burnnam, when in
terviewed on the subject today, declared
1t was all news to him. "Of course. every
man has a price, he said, "but I have
had no negotiations with the Boston Club,
and at present would not say just what
I would do even ii the offer were most
favorable"
Burnham threw cold water on the report
that he would sidestep as managed of
the Newark team in favor of Harry Ray
mer, the second baseman and captain of
the Jamestown Tri-State League Club. 1t
is not likely that Durham would dis
charge himself. and he is the one who
would do the debating, since he and his
son, Harry C. Burnham. are practically
the club. 1t is positive that he will again
hold the reins over the Colts In the sea-
son of 1907.

SCHOOLBOY TEAMS
BURY THE RATCHET

After n long discussion it has been decid-
ed that the Newark High School and Mont
clair football teams shall play their New
Jersey I-nterseholastic League game. this
afternoon, at Montclair. Because the sub
urban team played in Newark last year,
the Montclair management Wished to have
the game on their grounds this year. The
schedule drawn up by the league called for
the game to be played in Newark asnln
this fall. The agreement between Manager
Franzen, of the Newark team, and Man
ager Alderman, of the Montclair team,
was not reached until late yesterday after
noon. Manager Franzen said that rather
than have the Montclair boys withdraw
from the league. az they threatened to do,
he finally gave In and agreed to play the
game at Montclair, on tie Montclair Atm
letic Clubs grounds.
This being the first league game of the
season for both elevens the respective
coaches have had their warriors out most
of this week practising many stunts,
strengthening the weak places and making
profitable changes In preparation for to-
days game. Just what combination Coach
Dixon will place against the Newarkers to-
day could not be determined yesterday att
ernoon.
Coach Warning, OF the Newark High
School team, had lis piGskin warriors our

EASTON CLUB MEETS.
Plan for Next season-Atlantic Would
Like to Get in Band Wagon.

EASTON. Pa. Oct. ga meeting OF the
directors and stockholders of the Easton
Baseball Association was held last night
in the offices of Reeder & Coffin, and plans
were considered for liquidating the debt
by the club during the past sea-
son. One OF the stockholders suggested a
plan whereby everything will be straight
ened out and the club put on a sound basis
for next season.
What will be the fate of the Atlantic
League, and if it exists next year will It
be composed OF the same clubs? are ques-
tions frequently asked by local lovers OF
the game. 1T is too early, to answer such
questions, but 1t is safe to say that there
will be an Atlantic League in 1908. 1t isn't
very often that a new league passes
through the first year of its existence as
easily as the Atlantic did, and as a result
the organization received quite a prestige.
Nearly all the club owners would like to
see the league under protection next year.
They've had enough Of outlaw baseball. 1t
would be next to Impossible to secure pro-
lection. however, If Reading is represented
IN the league, as the Reading Tristate team
would block any attempt in that direc-
ton. So Reading in a measure is the key
to the future.

for the First Time Since 1899.

NEW YORK, Oct. 25.--By the narrow
margin of three points the Columbia
sophomores were defeated by the fresh
men in their annual track meet, which
was completed on South Field yesterday
afternoon. This is the first time since 1890
that the sophomores nave lost the dual
meet to the under class. Three events
were completed yesterday. the high and
broad jump and the hammer throw. In
the jump the freshmen scored only s 10
the sophomores' 10 points. In the hammer
throw Heard, 10, won with a throw of
% feet 5 inches. Grassi, II, and Schnepp.
10. were separated by only IA inches.
Both men had another try, Grasai winning
by over a foot. The summarizes:

CAME WITH CORNELL
Finishing Touches Put to Prince
ton in Preparation for To-
mOrrOw's Struggle.

PRINCETON. oct. 25.-The Princeton
football team was given the finishing
touches yesterday afternoon preceding the
game with Cornell at Ithaca tomorrow.
The undergraduates, enthusiastic over the
bright prospects of a victory, marched,
1000 rtrong, to University Field, cheering
the team and singing their new football
songs The Tigers trotted on the field
looking In superb trim. ready to get into
battle at the snap of the pistol, The
Varsity was on the field but 30 minutes,
during which time they busted themselves
catching punts, getting down the feld
ahead of the runner and chased down the
field a couple of times through the sig
nails. The players worked with a snap
that has not been shown before this week,
and Eddie Dillon ratified off the signals
in a steady stream so fast that he had
the big fellows pulling.
The men. though it was feared were
getting stale, seemed TO be in good con-
dltion. and every man will go into tomor-
rows battle without an injury. The
coaches are confident their cubs will fight
to the last and score a decisive victory
over the Ithacans.
While the Tigers may not hold the Cor
nelians scoreless, that peerless ofense,
which has been the feature of Princeton's
playing so far, is due just as much con-
tidence. and three or four touchdowns for
the Tigers would not surprise Princeton
supporters in the least.
There may be one change in the line,
though the report cannot be confirmed
McFadyen, right guard, who has been reg
ular SO far. fell off in his showing in prac-
tise this week, and Buckingham may take
his place. The scrub made some big gains
through McFadyer's side of the line, and
whether the coaches are just trying to
scare him or not is not known, but Buck
ingham had first call again yesterday. II
is probable that the former will start the
game, as he has had more experience than
Buckingham.
The squad left here at 9;12 this morning,
and will spend the night in Oweg0, N. Y,
reaching ithaca tomorrow morning. Light
signal practise will likely be held this
afternoon in Owego.
One feature of yesterdays practise was
eddie Harlan's drop-kicking. His clever
toe seemed to be at the height of its ac-
curacy, for he booted the pigskin over the
bar from all sorts of angles and distances.
1T was no trouble for him to raise it
s squarely between the goal posts from the
35-yard line, and he kicked several goals
from the 45-yard lire.
About 400 undergraduates accompanied
the team. besides the glee and musical
clubs. which will hold a joint concert with
theF Cornell clubs tonight. 1t is reported
shat Cornell is asking odds two to one on
he result of the game.
The makeup Of the Princeton football
t1uad, with statistics and school at which

THOMAS TO QUIT BASEBALL
Star 0utfelder of Philadelphia Team
Will Go Into Tobacco Business.

The Philadelphia Nationals will lose the
services of their star outlelder. Roy Thorn
as, mex yeara Roy has purchased a half
interest in a big wholesale tobacco bust
ness in Norristown, Pa, and will devote
all his time next year to his business i'm
~terests. Thomas has frequently expressed
his determination to quit baseball before
forced to do so.
Thomas. who started his baseball career
with the old Orange A. c., has long dread
ed the trips through the West, which kept
him away from his family and business in
terests two and three weeks at n time, and
he once remarked: TITS q question to me
whether it would not pay me better 20
stay at home than to make these long
Western trips. Before | get half way
around the Western circuit 1 get homesick
and feel like coming back. Time always
hangs heavy on my mind when away from
my family for any length Of time
The Phillies next year will probably pre-
sent quite a number OF new faces. There
is a well-founded report that Fred Tenney
will play first base for the Quaker team.
Tenney will not manage the Bostons next
year, and for this reason Owner .Dovey Is
anxious to make a trade. Tenney has re-
fused to go to a Western club, and pre-
fers Philadelphia in the East.
The officials of the PHILADELPHIA Club
would not discuss a possible trade for Ten
ney, though President Shettsline said he
would fit In nicely on the team. 1t is not
known who would figure in the deal for
Tenney, though 1t is quite likely that the
Phillies would AVE to give up three or
four men, possibly Bransield, Osborne and
one or two pitchers.
In the event Of this deal going through
the Phillies would not be weakened to any
great extent by the loss of Thomas next
season. Courtney would probably be placed
in left field and Magee in centre, while
Titus. Deininger and Clements would have
to fight 1t out for the right field berth.
