DIR. LAsKER ON CHESS GAMES.
Declares That Enthusiasts Are Real
Live Ones.

Dr. Lasker, the chess champion. be-
Heves If big chess matches were play
ed In the open the contests would re-
suit In as great a display of enthusi-
asm as is seen at athletic events.
If the artist who drew the cartoon
that appeared recently in a Chicago
paper should attend one of our match
es, said the champion, The would find
the members Of the audience cheerful
~ enjoying the contest. Chess follow
erS are not, as he depicted them all
old men, with tremendous foreheads.
with wrinkles all over their faces ard
a dull thoughtfulness spread over their
cOuntenanceS, and all maintaining a
funeral like silence.
ON the contrary. he will find most
OF them young, many of them women,
and all of them breezily and freely dis
cussing the progress of the play Any
demonstrations they make or anything
they say does not bother US. In fact,
there often is applause. At the last
and myself the spectators actually
shouted at times when unexpected
moves were made.
I have no doubt If chess were play.
ed In the open the important games
would be attended by the same bofs-
terousness that characterizes athletic
contests. That such demonstrations
are not seen is due to the fact that the
games take place indoors"
DR.. Lasker ridiculed the more or less
mental strain, this impression In Amer
lea being due in part to the death from
insanity of Paul Morphy and the early
death of PilIsbury.
You can measure" said he "all the
mental strain exacted of Morphy in
playing all the chess he ever played by
the strain that there is on a man who,
say, is bringing out one new novel"

FRENCHnrEN IN A FRENZY.
Are Opposed to Proposed American
Gold Cup Tour.

Gold Cup Tour.
The French automobile world has
been thrown into a state closely ap-
preaching frenzy by the announcement
the American gold cup tour is no long
er a mere project, and that its consum-
nation and success are assured
Pending the development of the am
bilious scheme to send a caravan Of
some 40 or 90 American automobiles
over 1900 miles of European roads. the
French press maintained an interest
ed but in no way hostile attitude. Now
however, when it is known that the
tour is a certainty and that the num-
Der of cars actually entered is already
in excess of a dozen, the Paris news
papers have thrown away all reserve
and column after column is being
written denouncing the tour as an
impertinence and a menace.
One of the most authoritative publ
cations in the French automobile world,
Les Sports, is particularly vicious in at
lacking the proposed tour. Les Sports
sees in the 1900 mile journey through
France, Spain, Italy, Hungary,
Germany, Belgium and England, moth
ing but a commercial expedition under
taken with the avowed intention Of
mobiles in France to the detriment of
the home product. 1t calls this COM
mercial invasion "the American PERIL"
and seriously advocates the imposing
of a 45 per cent duty on the automo-
biles forming part of the caravan.
George Prade in Les Sports goes at
once to the root of the French resent
which are to govern the gold cup tour
are so liberal that no confusion what
ever can come to the American cars

LEWIS GETS AFTER JOE CANS.
Philadelphia Fighter Posts a F'orfei
in Support of Offer.

Detroit, March 27.-Harry Lewis,
the Philadelphia fighter, has posted a
forfeit of $1,000 in support of chal
lenge to Joe Cans to fight for the light
weight championship of the world
Lewis will insist that the weight be the
same as that which prevailed in the
fight between Cans and Frank Erne
when the former won the title.
Lewis believes he is the only legiti-
mate opponent of the negro at the
present time, as Cans has whipped all
of the other aspirants for the title
He points to his record of the last three
years as proof that he is entitled to
the chance.
The Philadelphia man is eager to
accept one of the offers made in Ne
vada for meeting with Cans, and be-
lieves that Battling Nelson is not ready
just now to close terms with the Balti-
more man, and that Cans will have
plenty of time to decide a match with
him while Nelson is making up his
mind about another battle. Lewis be-
lieves he can force Cans to accept the
present offer.

SULLIVAN AN EASY WINNER.
Jack Palmer. English Fighter, Quit in
Tenth Round.


Los Angeles, March 27.-Jack Pal
mer of England was no match for
Jack (Twin) Sullivan of Boston, and
went out in the tenth round in what
was to have been a 90 round go before
the Pacific Athletic club last night
Palmer showed no class at all and
Sullivan had him at his mercy almost
from the start. The Englishman was
slow and awkward and he landed very
few blows, none of them clean ones, on
his opponent. The gong saved Paine
in the third round after Sullivan had
sent him to the mat with several stiff
rights and lefts to the face and jaw.
The referee began counting when Pal
mer fell, but the gong sounded at the
count of two and the Englishman' $
seconds helped him to his corner.
The crowd, believing that the fight
was over, started to leave at this juno
ture. Sullivan, however, did not rush
matters in the fourth and Palmer COW
cred up and hung on until he got his
strength back. ,i
Sullivan showed his man away to
cut at his face with ripping rights and
lefts, but failed to put his man away.
The remainder of the fight was alto
gether on the defensive. In the eighth
round Sullivan had Palmer groggy and
knocked him to the mat three times.
Twice the Englishman took the count
of eight, and the last time the gong
came to his rescue. Palmer came up
weak and staggering in the ninth
round, but clinched and hung on and
Sullivan was unable to land finish
ing blow. The Englishman was so
badly exhausted that he slipped and
on his back, before he was able TO re-
gain his feet. In the tenth it was evil
dent that Palmer was all in He
moved unsteadily toward his opponent,

Some Good Advice for Treatment of
Baseball Players.

BaSeDaH Players.
This is the season when we are re-
called with tasteful tales of the wonder
full gluttony and alleged absence Of Ia
BILE manners among ball players, their
lamentable ignorance of the etiquette
of a sleeping car, their piteous attempts
to translate French menus, says the
sporting editor of the ST. Louis Repub-
lie. All of which, to be sure, are things
peculiar to knights of the diamond, If
we are to judge by their entire absence
In other spheres of publicised
public hfe. Baseball players
and actors constitute nine-tenths
of the people who cater to the
public Partially for amusement Com
pared man for man, there is little diff
ference between the athlete and the
mime. Whatever there may be in man
Illness may be found to favor the man
of clubs and balls. In appearance, man.
ners, address, diction garniture and all
round worth, the baseball player quite
favorably compares with Inhabitants of
a relative sphere of life.
Just why he should be subject of
banal jokes unmannerly recitative and
ill-bred narrative has always been be-
yond the comprehension of the writer.
If an actor should be so fortunate as to
possess a healthy appetite no dramatic
writer SO far forgetS good breeding and
usages as to refer to it in private or
public. If he fail in polished etiquette
such lapses are ignored as they should
be. II he take 1t upon himself to initiate
lord and get drunk, it is properly re-
garded as his own particular private
business.
Upon the other hand, let ball player
dine heartily it is given large publicity
in print. Let him hang his trousers
amiss in Pullman, collect peas with
his knife or mispronounce a French
word on a bill of fare, he is held up TO
laughter and Tidicule of people who
have, perhaps, no more proper concep-
ton of such things than he is said to
have. BOSS
Just why it should be considered prop
er to relate 'rube'' tales about ball
players any more than about actors, or
to parade the common and lower side
of the diamond any more than to sim
ilarly portray actors and publicise only
the extravaganza side of theatricals is
one of the things that puzzles.
Perhaps it is due more to the debata-
BILE difference of conception of the pro-
prieties between dramatic and baseball
writer's than to any particular variance
in habits, manners OF actions of base
ball players and actors.
