CHAMPIONS RACE
 HERE THIS WEEK

The Main rink promises to it's pa irons during the coming week, the most sensational and interesting events ever before offered the amuse- ment lovers of Pine Bluff. On Mon- day, Tuesday and Wednesday nights Albert Cookson, holder of the worlds record for fast skating, will defend his title against Willie Burton, cham pion of Arkansas, in series of three races. These races will decide wheth- CT the fast Arkansas lad shall take away from Cookson the title of worlds champion, or whether Cook son shall continue to hold the medal. Both racers are extremely fast, and the many Pine Bluffians who have seen Burton are of the opinion that he will push Cookson hard to keep from being defeated. The races are certainly bound to be very exciting and close, and the large crowds who see these races will find them to be interesting events. The Main rink management has spared no expense to bring these racers together, and the public will attest their approval by large attendance.
 Many Out-Of-toWn persons will be present, especially from Little Rock and Hot Springs.

FRED GILBERT
 AT THE SPRINGS

Fred Gilbert of Spirit Lake, la., champion wing shot of the United States and possibly If the world, is guest at the Majestic hotel i'll Hot Springs. Gilbert has frequently been a guest of the Pine Bluff Gun club. From 1900 to 1906 he has held the high gun average record. His average for the last 50,OOo birds was a trifle over 95 per cent. Gilbert was one of the team of ten all-Ameerican trap-shooters who visited England, Scotland and France. This team made a clean sweep, taking every event they entered into. The English team presented handsome solid silver cup to the American team to De contested for by this team alone this was won by Gilbert and IS now in his possession. Gilbert mas held the championship for longer period than any other wing shot III the United States, six consecutive years A bad case of rheumatism broueht him to Hot Springs at this time.

LEAGUE
 MAY MEET SOON

Unless President William M. Kav- anaugh, Southern league mogul, calls the spring meeting of the Southern league for Atlanta and for some date inside the next couple of weeks, opines the Atlanta Georgian, it will be a big surprise to local fans. The spring meeting is about due. The one last year was held early in February and the one this year is likely to be held at about the same date. How ever, President Dickinson of the Atlanta club, has been unsuccessful in his efforts to ascertain the exact date. He has wired President Kav- anaugh, but has had no reply as yet. Mir. Kavanaugh is of the opin- ion that the date has not been de- cided upon as yet, but that the meeting will be held soon. It is hard to tell what will be done at the meeting, further than to decide on the new schedule. This is al- ways a fruitful source of wrangling, and doubtless will be this year. Oth' erwise nothing of an exciting nature is due to come up at the session.

''BIG BILL" HEADED
 FOR AMERICA

According to cablegram re- ceived the past week at San Fran cisco from Australia, Bill Squires, the champion heavyweight boxer of Australia, will leave there on the steamer Ventura for the Cali fornia city, accompanied by his packer. In the cablegram he chal- lenges all the heavy-weights in America, and says he will post his forfeit upon arrival. The Ventura will arrive at Frisco about March 12. The announcement that Squires has decided to leave for America will be received with surprise by American fistic followers. Jack
 Johnson, the gigantic Texas fighter. sailed for the Antipodes several weeks ago with the avOwed inten- tion of seeking fight With Sauires, and it was thought that he and the Australian would be IldtCHeu Uy lAiS .'AAAS' od"A' V" evidently thinks he can earn bigger money on this side of the Pacific. If Squires looks like a real fightep when he arrives here, the Nevada fight promoters will hardly hesitate long about offering big purse for | a battle between him and Jeffries.
 Peter Jackson, Frank Slavin, Abe | Willis. Bob Fitzsimmons, Young
 Griffo and Billy Murphy were some
 of the clever fighters Australia sent to America in former years II Squires is as good as Jackson, fltz and S|ayin were when ir their
 prime, he should prove formidable
 rival for Jeffries.

withstanding the stringent rules adopted and heavy punishment fixed in the bylaws and that the league might as we'll fix the limit at a figure somewhat approximatlng what each club will actually pay it's players. Meridian and Mobile were the chief offenders last year and as result they finished the season at the head of the column, while the clubs that observed the limit for portion of the year held the bottom places. In fact, the teams finished just in the degree of salary limit violations. It IS understood that Mobile, Gulfport and Meridian directors are the chle1 advocates of the $1,50O limit. Thus far the directors of the Jackson, Vicksburg and Hattiesburg teams have remained non-committal.

SOME SELECT
 SPORTING SQUIBS.

So much talk of pugilistic umpires has started Hank O'Day training for next season.
 Hugh Duffy says that baseball play CTS all over the country regret the blacklisting of Jimmy Sebring.
 Albert Isbell, a younger brother of "Izzy" Isbell, the great swatter of the White Sox, has signed contract to play with the Wichita ball club the coming season. Albert is the third brother to break into the game.
 Infielder Bert Noblette, who former ly played in the Cotton States league and who led the Southern league in batting during the season of 1905, has signed with Terre Haute. He will be great help in putting the Tots" in the race this summer.
 Whenever heavyweight pugilist draws the color line, it means that he does not care to fight Jack Johnson. Fight fans all over the country are impatiently awaiting the return Of Battling Nelson from Europe. They are all of the opinion that Joe Cans should give the Battler return fight. Dan s. 2:12 by Graystone, the fast green pacer owned by Ora D. Shower of Indianapolis, is to be raced next season by Ed Geers.
 The return of Detroit to the Grand Circuit means that D. J. Campau is to retain control of the circuit.

In my prime I honestly believe I could have beaten Jeffries ill ten rounds on the turf with Lon don prize-ring rules," said John l.. Sullivan to 'Tad,' of the New York Journal.
 The ex-champion is visiting New York with his show after an absence of three years, but is still a close observer of fights and fight ing men.
 Almost every day I meet peo- pie who ask me about Jeffries, and I always say that he is great man, continued the big fellow, with toss of his head. "He is a great man. Any man who is a cham pion l think must be great man. In my mind, however, think Jeff would be too big for successful fighter on the turf. His weight would be a great handicap, and you know he never was a terrific hitter.
 q could swap rights with any man in the world twenty years ago and never hear the birds sing. I beat them in exchanging. I battled toe to toe until the tide turned one way or the other, and then if my man did not fall to avoid pun ishmen I usually fattened him with my fist. Jeff is bigger than l was. he weighs more than I did, but then I fought men just as big as Jeff and in that time just as hard.
 John ''Dopes It Out.'
 Look here,' said Sullivan, talk ing a pencil and paper, Jeff goes twenty rounds with Ruhlin and does not have his man down for the count once. Jim Corbett, light CT and weaker, goes twenty-three rounds, hitting Jeff three to one, and is only /nocked down by what you would call a lucky punch. Tom Sharkey fought Jeff all together fortv-fiye rounds and never took the count. Sharkey was more of my build than any of the others, but I figure that l was harder hitter than Tom.
 eff he could go forty-five rounds, why couldn't I? And, then, fighting London rules would be bigger

be no compromise so long as the new rule remains the foundation stone of the association. The new rule follows:
 An amateur billiard player is one who has never competed in any open-toall contest, nor played for purse or division of gate money, nor received pecuniary ben eft in any way from such con- tests.
 One who has never, at any period of his life, been proprietor of or employed in a billiard-room, nor ever taught or pursued billiards as a means of livelihood, nor ever been engaged in the manufacture or sale of billiard tables.
 Entry blanks have been sent over the whole country, and twenty of the best-known players have been invited to compete and send in their entry before the day of clos ing, February 12, to Robert c. Kam- merer, at the New York Athletic club.

AMATEUR BILLIARD PLAYERS
 PROTECTED BY STRICT RULES

Billiard folloWe"s aye discussing the rule clearly defining an amateur player, which the National As sociation of Amalaar Billiard Play CTS had adopted as the standard of entry for the approaching national championship tourf ,ment to he held in the Liederkranz club in New York, Monday March 4.
 To the majority of the followers of the game the rule appears too rigid, and they believe that careful and strict application Of it will exclude several of the leading amateurs.
 The rule was adopted at recent meeting of the national association held in that city. It was passed unanimously. It is not elastic in any sense, for there is no com promise with professionalism. As one of the committee in charge of the coming championship declared, the intention is to raise the level of amateur billiards, and there can

handicap for a man as big as Jeff. The longer those big fellows go to the worse it is for them, and I'd set him a merry pace.
 How would l fight him? Well, right here I'll tell you that it would be a body fign, with me from start to finish. l think Jef~s weak spot is his stomach, and I'll tell you why. You take any of those fellows who use that crouching position, and nine out of ten have weak stomachs. They use the crouch to save the body, and it is great help.
 Most all of the men Jeff fought tried for the head. He is too strong there to bother. He has a heavy jaw and thick neck. and they can withstand a heavy shock. His body is the same as any other mans. You belt them on the body and, maybe, five or six rounds after the effect begins to tell on him.
 Stomach Punches Count.
 "A man punched on the jaw can recover without any bad effect, but once you belt him in the body he I, ! T speed.
 T figure that being shorten than Jeff l could battle him close and wear him down with my punches to the stomach and short ribs. I don't think I would fear his punch. He only knocked Fitz out clean, and all the other men he fought were worn out. They stopped most of his battles, so that you see he is not a quick finisher
 II wish I was a young fellow again, just to shaw the public that the men of today are not as tough as the old-timers. They have every comfort today, whereas we old fel- lows were out in the rain and mud, fighting and wrestling, and the weather alone most of the time was enough to make you stop.
 "Yes, Jeff will be champion as lOnp aS he can keen in shane think.''

Purvis badly needed. Kilrain also gave bond when his case came to trial, but before all the legal tangles had been unraveled there wasn't a fighter in the country who could have been dragged over the Mississippi state boundaries.
 It killed the sport so dead that not even an effort has been made up to the present time to revive it. It now remains to be seen whether or not be boxers will be given show down there.
