HITCHCOCK.

Mr.. Frank II. Hitchcock, OF Washing
ton. D. c., Is gradually being revealed
as a climber of quiet but deadly sure
nature. In that respect, he was not
unlike his former chief in the Post
Office Department, up to the time when
the latter gentleman hit great snag
and wrecked his prospects. There IS
no doubt that Mr.. Hitchcock has his
eye set upon the heights, and little
that he is due, at least partially, to
arrive.
Until recently. Mr.. Hitchcock was
First Assistant Postmaster General. The
other day Mr.. Roosevelt called him in
and fired" him. It was the kind OF
discharge that the young man was
that he was scheduled to be kicked up
stairs. Mr.. Hitchcock appears to be a
great vote-getter. a clever persuader,
an astute winner of support. Mr.. Cor
telyou, II the rumors be true, showed
a disposition to utilize these valuable
traits, with unfortunate results. Now
they are to be utilized in behalf of
another and moro favored candidate.
Certain recent occurrences, in short,

to make it SO. If he succeeds in that
task, he Is to be made Postmaster
General of the United States and. If
the signs Of the times be authentic, 10

Roosevelt.
The latter. as n. Hitchcock I'M
doubtedly realizes. is very valuable
asset. Probably it will always be SO.
Whatever Mr.. Roosevelt does upon the
expiration of his presidential term.
there is little likelihood that he will
ever cease to run the Republican party.

Johnny Hayes. hero of the Mara thon race, Olympic games in Lon don, has secured George Cameron, the bicycle rider, 10 help him pre- pare for the race In which he will meet Dorando at Madison Square Garden on Thanksgiving Eve. The little American distance runner has selected the grounds and gymnasium of the Pastime Athletic club as his place to train and is working daily In addition to the jaunts which he takes over the roads. Hayes is con fident in his ability to show the way home to the Italian runner.
 Dorando is on his way here abroad the kronprinzessin Cecelie and not upon the Teutonic. as he had plan ned to come. Victor Breyer, the sporting promoter of Paris who sign ed Dorando for this race, made spec ial preparations with the North Ger man Lloyd Steamship company so that Dorando will have every facility possible on board to continue his training.
 The track upon which the race will be run will probably be nine laps to the mile, and Sparrow" Robinson will probably be selected to lay it out and build the course.

BAKER COMING BACK.
Second Baseman Desires to Return to
 HolyOke Club.

Holyoke, Nov 13.-Word has been received from Howard Baker, former second baseman of the Holyoke team, who left the club near the close or last season to engage in business in Baltimore, that he would like to re- turn here next season. Baker mas that the employment does not agree with him as we'll as he had expected and he Is anxious to get back on the diamond. As he has been reserved by the local management he will unr doubtedly have another try at his position, but unless he shows far bet ter form than year ago he IS not likely to finger long.
 First Baseman William Massey, who has made his home here for sev- eral seasons, has gone to Philadel- phia with his family, where he will spend the winter. Massey Is also un- der reserve, but there is much ques- tion as to whether he will be found on duty at his old position another eason as there was much, dissatis- faction expressed with his work. Both of these players may figure in deals of some kind ere another sea son swings around. Meantime there has been no change in the manage ment, but there have been a num- Der of inquiries made regarding the property by prospective purchasers, who way yet decide to buy.

London, Nov 13.-Jimmy Britt of San Francisco, and Johnny Summers or England, will probably meet again early next month before the Nation al Sporting club. Since their last battle at Wonderland, when Britt was given the decision, Summers has been very urgent in his demand for another match and the National sporting club has offered the pair Il 900 for a twenty-round match.
 Summers has already accepted the offer. and after Britt is through with short engagement in the music halls he will probably agree to the match. There has been much wrang- ling over the last battle and the fol- lowers of Summers will not be sat lsfied until he is given another chance at the Californian.
 Britt has accepted a few engage ments in the local music halls and the sparring every night will keen him in good condition.

THE PUCILETS
Temny Burns Hss Begun Truinips r For Hi, Fight With Jack
 Johnson.

Reports from Australia say that training for his coming fight with Jack Johnson, the elongated Ethi- opian, who is bent on wrestling the title of heavyweight champion from Thomas. Perhaps that Is the reason Burns has neglected to send along his regular press no' tices of himself and his doings in the land of the bushwnack- er Let's see, Burns is scheduled to fight Johnson at Sidney on Deccm- Der 26, so 1t looks as though Tommy is not going to take any chances of not being in condition for the battle. Up to date Burns has neglected his training most shamefully, for he fig ures that all the men he would be called upon to meet in Europe would be easy for him without any prolim- mary work. And they were; but Johnson is different. And besides, they are matched to fight to finish. In limited round fight Johnson would stand just little more than an even chance with Burns, but when 1t comes to finish, well, 1t looks as If the odds are in favor of Burns. Tommy is rugged chap, and he's game, exceptionally game
 These two things, and condition, of course, are the most important fac tors in finish contests.
 According to the latest reports that have just been sent in, Thomas intends to be in the pink of condl- tion when he faces Johnson.

BRITT TALKS WELL.

Jimmy Britt, prominent at nne time in lightweight circles, who is | present engaged in the profitable oc- cupation of picking plums from the British pugilistic tree, has an inter- esting story on boxing in recent issue of an English paper. Tho gist or Britts article is comparison be- tween boxers of a decade ago and those of to-day. Britt states that the improved and common sense methods or training, combined with the new tricks of the ring game, have un- doubtedly made the glove artists of the present time superior ro their predecessors. However, the Cali fornian writes that were it possible to restore to John l.. Sullivan, Jem Mace, Peter Jackson and Charley Mitchell their former youth and vi- tality and to equip them with all the new tricks of ring training and ideas Of boxing, in his opinion the old timers would prove to be superior to the present idols of the fight fans. Furthermore, Britt compliments the present generation of boxers by say Ing that they are, as rule, far more gentlemanly and polished than the hghters of the days of Mace and
 Sullivan. This fact is easily ey- plained when one realizes how tight ly the present top-notchers on the pugilistic ladder hold on to their ring winnings. A present day fight CT realizes that his career in the squared circle is limited and that 1t IS "up to him" to make hay while the sun shines" and to dispense with
 all forms of dissipation. ...

GOVERNMENT STILL
 FIGHTS STANDARD OIL
Carries s29,OO0,0oo Fine Ap.
 peal to Higher Court.

| Washington, Nov. 13.-Following the recent action of the circuit court of appeals in Chicago in refusing the United States government a rehearing of the Standard oil case, made famous by it's $29,000,000 fine, the department of justice officials decided to carry the case to the supreme court of the Unit cd States.
 The decision was reached after a long conference between Attorney General Bonaparte and government attorneys, and the following statement was issued:
 "A prolonged conference was held at the department of justice with re- spect to the action of the circuit court of appeals in Chicago in refusing re- hearing of the Standard Oil case.
 Attorney General Bonaparte was in consultation with Solicitor General Hoyt, United States Attorney Sims of Chicago and his assistant J. Fl. Will kerson, and F. B. Kellogg, special counsel in the civil suits against the Standard Oil company.
 Tt was found that considerable number of changes had been made in the opinion of the court of appeals originally rendered and that Judge Baker of that court had filed sep arate coneurring opinion which diff fered materially in its reasoning from that of Judge Grosscup.
 After careful consideration of all phases of the situation it was deter mined that an application should be made to the supreme court of the United States. when 1t reconvenes on Monday. Nov. 30, for writ of cer- tlorari to bring up and review the ac- tion of the circuit court of appeals"

BAYARDo THE CHAMPION.
Two Year Old Wins Dewhurst Plate E and Retires with Total of $04, 40.

Bayardo, the unbeaten year old of the English turf, finished up his brilliant season with decisive vic tory for the Dewhurst plate in the Newmarket Houghton meeting. Dan- ny Maher had the mount on the colt. and after waiting on Sir Daniel Coo per's crack Ally Perola for three fur longs, the American let Bayardo have his head little and the young cham pion came away with grand burst and won by three lengths.
 The race was worth $6,6S5-this brings the colts total of seven races to the nice sum of $64.440. A ceu- pie of weeks ago Bayardo won the Middle Park plate only by length from the Ally Vivid, and she, too. is owned by Sir Daniel Cooper. Many of the critics thought Bayardo was extended, while not few held dif- ferent ideas. In the Dewhurst plate Bayardo carried 131 pounds to 12G on Perola. There is little doubt hut the colt will be the Derby favorite in the winter books. Bayardo is small in stature and not much to look at. but is a wonderful mover, and is seen to the best advantage when galloping at full speed.
