JEFFRIES SAYS SURE"
Announces His Willingness to Meet
Bill Squires.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal. June IA sigh
of relief swept over the sporting world the
other day when big Jim Jeffries consented
to meet Squires in the event of the husky
invader proving victorious in his proposed
battle with Tommy Burns. Swathed in
diplomatic verbiage, the question whether
or not he would be willing to meet Squires
was put to the big fellow. EFF waited an
appreciable interval before answering. then
started subterranean rumble that began
from somewhere near the appendix and
continued on up until it terminated in a
monosyllabie sure Jeff's monosyllabic
sure was a better assurance of his sin
certify than three volumes Of statements
from some other men in the istic arena.
Jeffries' appearance bellies all the stories
of his being out OF condition and of his
dissipation that have come floating up from
southland. He has no lines of dissipation
on his face. while the best proof that he is
not much fatter than he has been before
when not in training is the fact that when
asked his weight he in a jocular manner
answered about 80" and then after a
pause, in which no one gainsaid this state
ment, he added, apparently as an after
thought. "or sixty or seventy or eighty
While one or two of the wise ones present

CHANCE TO LAND AHEAD
OF ST. LOUIS BROWNS

has succeeded Hugh Jennings in Balti-
more, is also one of the proper stripe. and
the owners of the clubs in those cities are
fortunate indeed to secure such good
talent to direct the fortunes Of tieir or
CARNATIONS.
Many people are watching carefully the
work of BILLY" Clymer, the manager of
the Columbus club champions of the
American Association. and another first
class leader; also that of Ed Asherback
who is manager of the ST. Paul club and
once manager of the Nashua club of the
little old New England League. Both
are ambitious, energetic, hard working
young men of the never-say-de sort 1t
will not be a bit surprising to see them
land as leaders of major league clubs some
day. No one is qualified to handle major
league clubs who has not been educated up
to the position and knows the game from
A to T.
1t takes a rare combination Of qualities
to handle even the best material there Is
in the base ball line Often smuggling teams
have found it a difficult matter to land a
pennant and the best example of this was
the Philadelphia team of the days before
the American League was in existence 1t
often happens that the teams that play
the best together show best in race and
the White Sox exemplify this to degree.

DEPARTMENTAL LEAGUE NOTES.

The success of the Departmental Base Ball
League has surpassed the most ambitious
hope of those who despite the many OBJ
stables thrown in their way, determined to
continue the organization. although three
teams short.
Each of the five teams now in the race
has got together a fine set of players and
each has seemingly strengthened it's line
up 70 per cent and this improvement is so
uniform throughout that it is a fine race for
the first honors.
The contests SO far, leaving out the OPEN
ing game. have all been of a high class
and the scores have been close. The play
ing is all the more creditable when it is re-
membered that the games are played on a
rough grass held. where sharp grounders
are likely to take quick and dangerous
bound. With clean or rolled diamond
the style OF play would be unsurpassed by
any league in the city
The batteries have been materially
strengthened. Umpire Billie Belts has the
game on the jump all the time, and there
no tedious delays. so aggravating to the
spectator. In all. the little league is a big
success and deserves all kinds of credit
for its perseverance.
The games for the week are: Monday In
terror Navy: Tuesday. Commerce and
Labor VS.. Treasury: Wednesday, Post Office
VS.. Interior; Thursday. Navy VS.. Treasury
