CURIOUS AFRICAN GEOGRAPHY

We might spend an entertaining half
hour over many a fine atlas sheet if we
were able TO detect the unconscious
humor sometimes displayed, even in con-
spicuous type says the New York sun.
On maps of German East Africa
the word "Songo' has appeared for
several years as the name of one of
the native countries. We now learn that
Songo Is not geographical name, but
that II conveys exactly the same idea
that we express when we fail to recall
the name Of some object and so call
it "thingumbOb." Undoubtedly an ex-
plorer had asked the name of the coun-
try from his guide, who had forgotten it
and had escaped the difficulty by the easy
intellectual process Of calling it Songo.
We shall stand on firm ground if we call
that fair and populous land Losailik in
future.
A mountain in that same region was
introduced 10 the rest of the world under
the name "Atorigini,' dignified appel
lation and pleasant to the ear. But the
next editions of the maps must blot it
out and substitute something that sounds
barbaric, for "Atorigini" means simply

Of memory on the part of guide.
1t is gratifying to hear that one African
place name IS to be wiped off the maps,

BOTH LEAGUES AGREE.

Cincinnati, Jan l0.-After Herr mann had been chosen chairman and Dreyfuss secretary of the National base ball commission, yesterday, 1t was unanimously decided that the season in each league should consist of 154 games for each team. The opening date in both leagues was set at Thursday. April Il. and the clos ing dates at October ill the east and October 6 in the west.
 It was also decided that the open- ing games of the National league should be played at New York and Boston in the east and in Cincinnati and Chicago in the west. In the American league Philadelphia and Washington secure the eastern open ings and St Louis and Detroit those of the west. The opposing teams in these opening games are to be select ed by Presidents Pulliam and John son, who will complete the schedules and compare them with view of se- curing a minimum number of con- fiicting dates. Holiday dates also were selected by the two leagues, but these will not he made public until the clubs in cities where there are conflicting teams decide upon their assignment.
 Nothing further was done by the National commission in the Sebring case, in which decision will be given later in the week. The various dele- gates left for their respective homes last night.

 THE PUGILISTS AT THE END
 OF HIS ROPE Young Ccrbe.t Beaten to a Stand. still By Tommy Murphy
 Other Fight News.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. i0.-Tommy Murphy of New York gave Young Cor bett of Denver q severe beating in a six round bout before the National Athletic club here last night.
 From the first to the sixth round Murphy outfought the former cham pion at all stages. In the second round only the sound of the bell saved Cor bett from knockout. Murphy simply rained blows on the former Denver fighter and near the close of the round sent corbett to the floor with right to the jaw.
 When Corbett rose Murphy kept aft. CT him, sending lefts and rights to the face and body. When the gong sound, ed Corbett was hanging on the ropes in practically helpless condition. The one minute rest brought him back in fairly good condition, but Murphy gave him no opportunity to rest and drove Corbett from one side of the ring to the other, landing on the face and body almost at will.
 
 s Corbett got in an occasional blow tc the kidneys and neck, but they lacked force. Tn the third round Corbett tried the tactics he worked on McGoyern SC successfully in their two championship battles. He began to hurl epithets a1 the New Yorker. which were intended to rattle Murphy. The latter simply smiled and drove two rights to the jaw with such force that Corbett forgot tc talk.
 The fourth. fifth and sixth rounds were repetitions of the third. Corbett tired perceptibly in the closing round: and was simply mark for the young CT and better conditioned fighter. Mur phys condition was perfect. but 1t i' probable that Corbett would have tip ped the beam close to 40 pounds. H' was slow and wild and outclassed il boxing. hitting and ring generalship.

O'BRIEN AFTER MOIR.

Having failed to induce Matchmak- CT McCarey of the Pacific 4. c. of Los Angeles. Cal, to arrange a fight between him and Al Kaufman, the California heavyweight, Philadelphia Jack O'Brien now declares that he will take trip to England to try and get Manager Bettinson of the National Sporting club of London to hang up purse for twenty-round bout between him and Gunner Moir. the English heavyweight champion, to be fought the latter part of Feb- ruary.
 Although the N s. c. is willing to give O'Brien and Moir purse of s5,- 900 to fight for. 0'Brien is confident that if he goes abroad he can induce the club officials to raise the purse to s10,000.

POLO WHITES.
Hartford here Saturday night.

Hartford here Saturday night.
 Great game down in Bridgeport last night.
 The tide is turning toward Con- necticut and soon we will have the best of them down in the circuit.
 Just think of it! Bridgeport under the new management is out after Dicky Pierce, Woods and Whipple. Better watch, you locol fellows, that you are not caught in trap.
 Our old goal tender Harry Starkie will be here on Saturday night and he is coming with the intention of doing what New Haven failed to do, mop up the floor with us. Perhaps Harry has been smoking the George M. Conan pipe.
 If the league would only vote stop watch to each of the official timers then accuracy could be se- cured. Just now those who have no stop watches have to figure by cube root and square root and every other kind of root to keep the time as nearly correct as possible.
 The eyes of the old polo managers and old polo players are fastened on this league. If it is successful watcn some outsiders try to butt in and perhaps again ruin the game. The present management of the teams seem to be doing pretty we'll and will do better as the season ad- vances.
 The writer was asked to-day why each period did no; total up fifteen minutes in the lineup and summary and the answer is simple. The last goal might have been made after the teams had been playing twelve or thirteen minutes and no scoring was done in the last two or three minutes so of course it would not come into the summary. How under the heavens is Secre- tary Peet going to give a correct re- port of the players unless the scorers get on to their jobs. The periods should be separated and not run in together. the rushes should be kept track of as well as the stops and the fouls and some sort of uniformity should be observed. The writer does not want to be dictator but it would be better for every paper if 1t was uniform.

It was drive all down the stretch, and many spectators said that the whip of Jockey Lowe. riding Envoy, while it did not touch Phil Finch, cut the air in front of his eyes and made him hesitate as Envoy drew ahead.
 The opening event, at five and half furlongs, called out bunch of poor three-year-old selling platers.

BASEBALL NOTES.

Mike Lynch, Ed Grant and Al Storke are students at the Harvard Law school this winter.
 Walter Clarkson will probably take his regular turn in the box for the Highlanders this season.
 Patsy Flaherty. the leading pitcher in the American association last sea son. will prave great card for the Beanesters.
 Next to Lou Criger and Johnny King there is no better catcher in harness than Jack Kleinow of the Highlanders.
 Jake Beckley of the St Louis Ma tionals and Charlie Nichols, the pitcher, are after the St Joe franchise in the Western League.
 Connie Mack now has 57 varieties under cover and several minor league clubs will receive substantial aid when the farm hands are turned loose.
 The White Sox will leave Chicago for Mexico on Monday. March 4, ar- irving in the city of Mexico in time to play the first game on Sunday. March 9.
 Jack Dunn says that Third Base man Ed Grant. who goes with the Phillies, and Al Storke, drafted by Pittsburg. will certainly make good in the biz league.
 With Nealon. Wagner. Abbaticchio and Storke in their lineup. the Pirates will have giant infield this year. The Italian must make good from the start to fill Ritchey's shoes on second base
 Cleveland rooters are trying to ar range q match race of 100 yards to be run between Harry Bay and Dan ny Hoffman next spring. either in the south or when the New York club plays in Cleveland. Mike Donlin, the able-bodied out fielder of the Giants. is travelling the theatrical circuit with his wife, Mabel Hit. Mike is due in Cincin- natl on January E. and his friends they are planning to give him and his wife big reception.
 Connie Mack of Philadelphia an nounces that he will retain Hartsel Seybcld and Lord. his ouilield of last year. That will probably relieve Seybolds mind. for there was some talk of change in the Athletics right garden.
 Manager Wolverton of the Will Transport team is going ahead with lis arrangements for the season just as if there was no possibility of the Tri-State league going into the base | hall combine. President Dovey would like fo scc wolverton back in inc uniform of the Boston Nationals. President Dreyfuss has branded as false the report that the ''Piratcs are to receive a player or two in ex- change for Bob Ganlcy, who has been | turned over to the Washington American league club.
