THE PUGILISTS
The Many Assumed Names That Fighters Adopt-Someihipg of
 Jack Johnson.

For some reason or other assumed
 names have always been popular In
 the ring. Kid McCoy's real name Is
 Norman Selby and Tommy Ryans
 proper title is Joseph Youngs. Young Corbetts handle is Billy Rothwell.
 Leach Cross, who made so good
 showing against Packie Mcfarland,
 is q Hebrew by birth and his name
 is Fred Walach. Young Fitzgerald is rightfully named Herman Ilegler.
 Sailor" Burke, who has been figur-
 ing in the east, has family title of Charles Prasser. Frank Carsey is an Italian and his name is Frank Carsel- To. Terry Martin is d Norwegian and
 his real name is Martin Martinson Freddie Coles name is Fred Kohl and
 he is a German-American by birth. Young Donohue's name is Philip Powers. Many boxers even change their christian name, like John
 o Brien, who adopted the name of Rouse" O'Brien, and Frank OToole, who boxes under the ring name or Tommy O'Toole. Colored boxers have more elaborate array Of titles. The husky candidate for honors Tn
 his class known as Young Peter Jack
 son wears the harmless name of Sim TOmpkins off the stage. There IS
 much dispute over Joe Cans original title, but it is generally believed that his family name was Cotton. To re- turn to the white boxers. Steve Ken ney's real name is Herman Wendorf.
 John Russell prefers to be known as "Unk" Russel, for some reason best known to himself. Harry Lewis has
 family name of Henry Bestermap.
 Kid Herman's proper handle is Her
 man Landfield. In the heavyweight
 ranks, Tommy Burns's proper name is Noah Brusso. George Memsic
 sometimes appears under that name and sometimes under the title Of
 Jimmy Burns. Dick Hyland is really named William Uhren. Joe Thomas
 was born as Joe Daly. As contrast, many think that Battling Nelson as sumed his name In reality, his full and correct name was Oscar Battling Nelson, and the term "Battler" is an adoption of his own family name.

May Quit New Haven.

It does not appear that the New Haven roller polo team will be sold to Sam Simmons now at present, to say the least. The team may be transferred from New Haven later on, but if it does We have hunCh that George Bone will transfer it and still hold onto the team. The fran chise is owned by Mir Bone.
 For some time the Massachusetts and Rhode Island teams have been trying to freeze out the Connecticut teams and have the game confined to their territory exclusively in the Ma tiOnal league. The out of state man agers seem to be slowly accomplish ing that end and so New Haven may be transferred to some city in Massa- chuSetts soon.
 It's a well known fact that polo pays better in Rhode Island and Massachusetts than in Connecticut, and it's for the benefit of all con- cerned that the teams in this state be transferred to cities where large crowds turn out and support the game. Bones team in Massachu- setts would no doubt net him much more money than he is knocking out of the sport here and if Bridgeport is transferred it looks very much as f New Haven will go too.

 TO GET AROUND TROUBLE.
Horsemen Buy Village So They Can
 Sell Pools on Races,

When legislation hostile to pool selling put an end to Golden Oval the famous Glenville track in Ohio, Cleveland horsemen actually bought a village where they could eliminate the possibility of outside police inter- ference in pool selling. To see police and detectives circulating about among the bOOkmakers' stand was not pleasing to Cleveland horsemen and they declared that the meets could not continue without public betting Then the Forest City Live Stock & Fair Co was born. It bought 236 acres which had constituted Bert Shanks' stock farm at Randall
 This property was incorporated as a village, which has its own mayor and other public officials and police department. It is known legally as the village of North Randall.
 The new track at North Randall is now being graded and is expected to become the equal of the level stretch known from ocean to ocean as the golden oval of Glenville," where worlds records have been made and broken. Turf history was made there for 35 years. It was there that Maud s. came under the wire in 1884 in 2:09%, establishing a new record for the trotted mile, only to lower it a half second at Lexington later in the same year.

UMPIRE CLAIMS A TRIPLE. Mike Meyer Says He Performed Feat
 Alone Seven Years Ago.

Umpire Mike Meyer of Chicago, who formerly played semipro ball, asserts that his name should be among the eight ball players in the United States who are credited with having made triple plays unassisted in game. He says he made the play seven years ago while playing left field for the Maroons at Ottawa, H. He added that a lefthanded batter who was short right field hitter, went to bat with runners on first and second The batsman lined out a low drive to the left of second base which looked like a sure hit. Meyer dashed in after the ball and got it off his shoe tops with one hand and sprinted over and touched second As he did so the man from first was a foot from the bag and Meyer tagged him, completing the triple play.

to make the game slow. Not dis seating vote was cast when the res olution changing the rules was pro- posed, so the owners evidently figure that it will prove beneficial,
 Another rule aimed to preserve or der on the field before a game, pro- vides that there shall be forty min utes' practice before each game and that the visiting club shall have the first. thirty minutes and the home players the last ten. The umpire assigned to the game is to be in charge of the field during the prac- tice, as well as during the game, and will be held responsible for the pro- per conduct of the players then, be- ing empowered to impose fines or order off the field any player who does not behave properly.
 In addition, the American league ordered that every scoreboard must have the batting order printed cor rectly, or pay a fine of S10 for each error There is also to be provided space on the bulletin board for post ing any changes in the players after the game has begun. For failures to post at once any change of play CTS s10 will be the tax imposed up- on the home club.
 The routine business of the Amer jeans consisted of re-electing, Som CTS of Cleveland, vice-president, and appointing COmiskey. Mack and Moves a committee on playing rules to meet the committee of the Nation al league and talk over business.
 After passing these rules and at tending to some minor business, the league elected officers and adjourn ed 10 meet to arrange the schedule next February in Chicago

WRESTLING
Moriu tue Cyclone Frsuchmau Has Plenty of Money to Bet He
 Will Beat Alex Swanson.

That Cyclone" Morin of Fall River is hot after the scalp or Alex Swanson was very much in evidence to-day, when the sporting writer or the Democrat received from hls mail- ager, Ed Levasseur, a letter ana forfeit for appearance. The torielt was for $15 and the manager writes that if Swanson wants to make It any more of a forfeit let him name the amount and it will be forthcominS he also states in the letter that IT there are any sports in Waterbury who are willing to back Swanson against Morin, who is known as the Cyclone" Frenchman, he will have two men with him who will take all the Swanson money in sight. Eyi- dently Swanson realizes that he has tough customer to meet In Morin, for he is training more earnestly for this match than he ever did before. He does two and one-half hours on the road every day for his wind and every night he is on the mat with John Welt, the rugged German, who will meet Montagnu. the Italian of TorringtOn in the preliminary match on the same night that Swanson and Morin meet Morin is six feet in height and Swanson will be handi- capped in weight too, but Levasseur was so persistent in wanting a match that Swanson finally agreed to meet him. Both matches will take place in Concordia hall on Thursday even ing, December r.

National League Standing.
THE DIAMOND.
Some of the Things They Are Doing
 the Big League Meetings.

GllC olt
 | It was learned on excellent auth or ity yesterday that the demands of
 the Eastern league and the American
 association for recognition in the
 major league class will be turned down by the national commission 1 backed by the American and the Ma | tional leagues, also the National As
 sociation of Minor Leagues. While no official announcement to this cf- feet will be made public for some time to come, it is fact that the big
 moguls who control the affairs of the l base ball world have not been con vinced that there is any real merit in | the attitude of the two minors and l that the governors of the game be- | lieve that to make any concessions
 now would result in further de- mands, with a base ball war as the inevitable result.
 | The inside facts of the conference
 held on Wednesday between the na- | tional commission and jhe represen- 1 tatives of the two rebel circuits, H. J. Killilea, P. T. Powers and J. D. o Brien, are interesting. It appears
 that when Attorney Kililea, q for mer American league man, had made | his plea for the sulking minors he received a severe scoring from l. H. Farrell, NJ. H. Sexton and T. II. Mur- nane, representing the National assO- citation, who proceeded to tangle Xiii lilea up in such a manner that inc finally showed the weakness of his
 case As Farrell, Sexton and Mur-
 nane were loudly praised by major league men yesterday for the way they had scored killilea, it became apparent on the surface that the minors were up against a stone wall From several of the big men in | base ball it was learned that under | the surface the Eastern league men l together with their American asSo- citation allies. have formulated q 1 plan to organize new major league
 circuit next season for the purpose of invading Pittsburg. Chicago, Cincin-
 natl and other cities with the idea of
 getting their hands on some of the big profits enjoyed by the big
 leaguers. For this reason it was
 stated yesterday the minors would
 be turned down cold and would then
 be forced to show their hands in q
 real fight. that is if they have
 enough nerve to begin one.
 An important change in the play
 ing rules was made yesterday by
 the American League club owners
 who adopted a resolution providing
 that base runner will hereafter
 only be entitled to one base on a
 wild throw to first. Formerly a
 runner was permitted to make the
 circuit if he could do so before the
 ball was recovered and fielded to cut him off.
 This change will tighten the re-
 responsibilities of the third baseman
 and shortstop. To many experts and
 fans it appears at first glance as if
 the new rule would tend to make
 many players careless. It is also argued that 1t will have tendency

AN ALL WORLD ELEVEN

Many writers are exercising their ingenuity in picking an All American eleven. For an all the world eleven we select the following:
 Left end, Deerslayer ... Cooper Left tackle, Adam Bede ..... Eliot Left guard. Jean Valjean .... Hugo Center, John Ridd .. Blackmore
 or PorthoS ....... .. Dumas Right guard, Rob Roy ....... Scott Right tackle. The Virginian. Wistar Right end, Harty Yorke. Bret Harte Quarterback, D'Artagnan .. Dumas Right halfback, Othello (capD .
 ....... .......... Shakespeare Left halfback, Orlando Shakespeare Fullback, Coy ... Yale
 The above list combines strength and weight in the center, strength and activity in the tackles and guards, speed in the ends. and plung- ing and kicking qualities in the back field, in a manner not to be equaled by any of this years ielevens. Some trouble might arise if the Virginian and Coy should refuse to play with Othello on the ground that he is a negro, but it is unlikely. as he is clearly a Moor. Should they do so, Charley O'Malley of Lever and Dan dle Dinmont of Scott would be on hand to take. their places, and the loss of efficiency would be slight. One great point about the above eleven is that none of them are ever hurt. For substitute quarter we should name James Stewart of Ste venson or Athos of Dumas

THEY LIKE JOHNSON.

Jack Johnson has arrived safe and sound, at Fremantle, Western Aus tralia and, according to the Daily News of Perth, Western Australia. says
 'I have chased the fiddle chap from his nursery in 'Amurka. ] fol lowed his fiddle footsteps to Paris and chased him over to the biz smoke and then succeeded in chas- ing him back to Australia"
 Bah" broke in Sam Fitzpatrick, Johnson's manager, petulantly. Burns is a buffer and I don't know whether we've got him yet or not. won't bet on it till l hear the bell ring"
 "A buffer he is," answered the black, in even, mild sonorous tones, yet he is the man who has called me a quitter He is the man who is going to play for my body all the time and win out.
 The black gave mirthless grln and held his huge fists above his head, significantly, and said;
 Am I going to hold my hands s1 while he is playing for my body? No, sir I have been fighting for years, and | know more about the game than he does"
 It must not be presumed that this remark was uttered in boastfui spirit They are the well balanced sentiments of a man well confident of his superiority, and Johnson squared himself as he spoke. What man he looked. His great statur5 most evidenced in the splendid pair of shoulders and thick arms, simply appalls one.
 He stands over six feet in height and apparently tipping the scales at about fifteen stone, one can easily imagine this black man as a cham pion heavyweight. And the first i'm pression that comes to one is the futility of a little Canadian measur- ing five feet six inches dancing around trying to get behind the de fense of Johnson as he is.

Those who saw Owen Moran, the English featherweight, box six rounds with Tommy O'Toole in Phil adelphia on Wednesday night, said yesterday that for the first five rounds Moran had a decided adyan- tage, but that in the last round O'Toole landed three blows that gave him look-in. Two of these punches were in Moran's stomach, while the third was hard smash on the jaw, which staggered the little Britisher and almost put him down. The boys weighed 123 pounds at o'clock, three hours before they entered the ring, and after the mill the ring sharps declared that if the fight had gone to a finish Moran would have surely won. Moran proved beyond a doubt that he is still one of the best featherweights in the ring and that he has a right to fight either Attell or Driscoll for the title. It was sad yesterday that Driscoll would star: immediately for California, as one of the Frisco promoters has agreed to hang up a big purse for battle with Attell.

GOING TOO FAR.

over in Seattle the city school
superintendent is striving to strictly
enforce a rule which prohibits pupils
from giving presents to their teach
crs.
Isn't this going a trlfle far in the
matter Of advanced discipline? Why
shouldn't a little girl or little boy
take teacher an apple or bunch Of
flowers If she or he wants to do so.
Why shouldn't they club together and
buy a Christmas present if they want
to do so? Why curb the juvenile
spirit?
The other day a little school girl
os this city ran three or four blocks
in order to walk to school with her
teacher. Was this wrong? Seem
ingly it would be considered so in
Seattle. over there they seem to
want to have all the children stamped
with the same mold, so they will look
alike and act alike. But that is not
the true theory of education. Chill
dren are human beings not machines
and their individuality should be de-
veloped. not retarded,

WORKING TOGETHER.

Those who like Pendleton and are
anxious to see the city go forward
have room for rejoicing because Of
the manner in which the people of
the city are now cooperating in
movements for the good of the town.
During the past month or two the
business men and the property own
ers of the city have united in the
work of reviving the wooden mill and
o. remodeling the Commercial asso-
citation. Success is attending their
efforts in both instances.
During the past few weeks the
ladies of the city have oo-operated in
the task of raising money for the IL
brary. They have succeeded splen-
dldluy and as a result Pendleton will
soon have as finely equipped library
as is to be found in a place of this
size.
If the people of the city will but
continue to work together with the
enthusiasm they have manifested this
fall Pendleton will soon become
larger city and finer place in which
to live. Keep up the good work; it
is worth while.
