Nehs Of The Pngilisfs
BY JEFF THOMPSON.

New York, February -(Special.)- have been signed for a match between Jimmy Britt and Battling Nelson. Now, let Terry McGovern and Young Cor bett sign up and Bob Fitzsimmons and Peter Maher come together for a match and we will have some fighting that is fighting-perhaps.
 While I do not regard the fact that the Boer, Unholz, hoored Nelson in the first round of their recent fight, and out-pointed the Dane in their 1o-round go, as significant of failing powers on the part of the Battler the general im- pression made by the fight on those who saw 1t, and who are competent to judge leaves little doubt In my mind that the hard-hitting Hegeswitch youngster has joined the great and growing army Of "has-beens."
 The number of men who have out pointed the Dane in a 10-round go can almost be counted by the number of men that he has fought that number of rounds. As a boxer the Battler never was howl ing success He won his fights by main strength and perseverance. I am not at all certain that had the bout been to a finish instead of 10 rounds, as it was worn down Unholz and beaten him, as he has done so many other good young sters; but the opinion of experts who saw the fight is to the contrary and that Nelson has lost his power to punch.
 The same is true of Britt. and when these two back numbers meet, 1t will be interesting to see which of the two has gone farthest back
 Unholz, undoubtedly, by reason of the decision which gave him the long end of the purse, will now get on match with Packy Mcfarland, and the winnel. of that bout will doubtless have chance to wrest the title from Joe Cans. My own impression is that the Chicago boy will prove the better man of the two and unless he meets with some mishap. two or three hard ring battles will give him the experience in ring generalship neces- sary to enable him to argue with some chance of success with the Baltimore oyster opener as to who is really ths lightweight champion of America.
 McF ar1and has many of the earmarks of the successful fighter, and If I had to pick man now before the public who had the best chance of beating Cans out, I think my choice would fall on Packy. It is necessary for him, how eyer to gain considerable ring experience before he would have much of chance with Cans.
 hear from London that Tommy Burns will sail for home the latter part of March and that he has fully made up his mind to give Jack Johnson a match While have held all along that neither Burns nor any other man who is even reasonably on the level. according to the prize ring code of morals Is in any way bound to meet Johnson. I am glad that Burns has come to this decision.
 If the big negro is anything like the man his enthusiastic admirers claim he is, he ought to have a chance to demonstrate the fact. If he is not, it will be mercy to the entire sporting world to have him licked good and plenty.
 believe that Burns can turn the trick and if Johnson does not back out when the time comes to make a match, he is in for a severe and proper lacing at the hands of+the Canuck. However, it has been demonstrated on more than one oc-

WAR "TOO HELL|SH" ID BE THOUGHT OF Baron Takahira Expresses Very
 Peaceful Views NEW AMBASSADOR IS HERE Japanese Statesman Declares His Peo- pie Know Nothing of War Feel
 ing Toward United States
 and Are Friendly.
NEW AMBASSADOR IS HERE

New York, February 16-Declaring that would be "the most inhuman event in the worlds history and was ''too hellish' to be thought of, Baron Kogo Takahira, the new Japanese ambassador to Wash ington, said today upon landing in New York from the steamer Etruria. that the Japanese people knew absolutely nothing of a break in the cordial relations which have been historic between the two na- tions. Talk of war Baron Takahira de- clared with much emphasis. was utterly unintelligible to him, unless, as some one had suggested 1t was spread broadcast to serve the commercial ends of some newspapers. The new ambassador said there might be some matters pending in Washington which would require his to the cruise of the American fleet to the Pacific ocean, he regarded it purely as a naval maneuver on a grand scale designed to show to the world at large that America has wonderful naval power which can be dispatched anywhere at a moments notice, fin support of legit- innate cause. which always is at the bot tom of American diplomacy
 Baron Takahira leaves for Washington tomorrow morning at Il o'clock to pre- sent his credentials to President Roose- welt. He is a warm personal friend of Mir Roosevelt. and is looking forward to his meeting with the chief executive with great deal of pleasurable antici- patton. The baron is returning to the American capital after an absence of two years, spent in Rome. as ambassador to Italy. The baron left Washington as minister, and was subsequently, elevated to the rank of ambassador. He was one of Japan's envoys at the Portsmouth peace conference.

BARONS COMMENCE IN ''SLEEPYVILLE" The Provisions of Proposed
 Schedule CLOSE SEASON AT HOME Birmingham Has Fourth of July and Labor Day Games-comments of
 Document That Will Be
 Adopted This Week.
CLOSE SEASON AT HOME

The schedule which the directors Of the Southern league will adopt at their annual meeting in Little Rock this week is given in today's Age-Herald
 The schedule is almost identical with that of last year. AS is remembered, while the first game of the season was played in Birmingham. that game was purposely arranged. and not according to the schedule This season Birmingham opens in Montgomery.
 While the local fans thlnk that Bir- mingham should open in Birmingham, 1t must be borne in mind that some teams will have to open the season off the home lot. Tbere is always some kicking about the schedules, for it is admittedly true that no document can please every body.
 However, it may be best for the fans to make the best of the bargain. and insist that next year the Barons open at home.
 In all other respects the schedule seems fair enough. Birmingham, as do all the eastern clubs, closes at home. Fourth of July games and Labor Day games are given to Birmingham. The Fourth of July games are played with eastern clubs opposed to each other and western clubs opposing each other Labor Day games are played in the east with the clubs of the west as visitors.
 The opening games this year will be f1Ia at nfcrf1r A nf a,I,s and New Orleans Birmingham is in Montgomery. Mobile in New Orleans, Lit tie Rock in Memphis and Nashville fin Atlanta.
 Birmingham's first home games will be against Atlanta. Little Rock will well come Mobile for it's first games at home Mobiles first games at home will be with Little Rock. and Nashville's first oppo- nents on home ground will be the Mont gomery Pretzels.
 The following is the Fourth of July schedule: New Orleans in Mobile, Little Rock in Memphis. Nashville in Birming- ham. and Montgomery in Atlanta. The Labor Day schedule follows: Memphis in Nashville New Orleans in Birming- ham. Little Rock in Montgomery, and Mobile at Atlanta.
 It is probable that the schedule is as good one as could be arranged. None of the schedule committee was present when the document was made up save President Kavanaugh and Mique Finn It Is sent in advance to all the clubs, and between this date and the date of the meeting they have sufficient time to find fault
 There is no doubt. however with a few possible minor changes. that the schedule as presented this morning will be the one adopted, and followed throughout the Southern League season.

SENATOR kLDRICH
 NURSING HIS BILL
THE AUTHOR OF THE FINANCIAL. MEASURE WILL ASK FOR VOTE ON THE QUESTION AS SOON AS POSSIBLE THIS WEEK.

Washington, February 16-Congress will give its time this week to bills al- ready before it. The Senate will con- tinue it's consideration of the financial bill, while the House will proceed with the appropriation bills. Senator Aldrich, who has charge of the bill in the Sen ate, expresses himself as pleased with the progress thus far made, and is confident that a vote will be reached without un- necessary delay. As soon as 1t becomes apparent that debate is practically ended he will ask that a day be fixed for talk ing a vote on the measure He Is hope full of securing ballot by the close of the present month. It is thought most of the time in the House during the week will be given up to the consideration of the army appropriation bill. The amendment increasing the pay of privates and non-commissioned officers is expect ed to give considerable debate.

casion that my judgment in these mat ters Is no more infalliable than that of other men, and I may be mistaken.
 What, with his fights and exhibitions I understand Burns is bringing home with him something between e5000 and s6000 to say nothing of odd shillings and pence of good English money. This is not bad for a winters work, even for a near-champion.
 Jim Jeffries is watching the Burns Roche fight. which is to take place in Dublin on St. Patricks day, with a good deal of interest. Some enthusiastic Irish friend of the American champion has written him that Roche is liable to furnish the pugistic surprise of the year when he meets Burns and tells ths big fellow that Jem has all the punch ing power of Peter Maher, and there are few men who ever stood in the ring who could hit a harder blow than this husky fellow. and adds in addition, that Roche is more than a clever boxer. If, by any chance, Roche should suc- ceed in beating Burns, 1t Is not at all improbable that Jeffries would give him match. There is no doubt that with the Irishman champion of the world, matched against the unbeaten Jeffries, the fight would draw house big enough to make 1t worth Jeffs while to leave the cafe. and alfalfa farm for a long enough time to get in condition for fight, and 1t may be remembered that the big fellow always has qualified his repeated announcements of retirement with the proviso that If foreigner walks off with the championship, he might reconsider his determination not to fight any more. ee
