GREAT PLAY WAS ACCIDENT
Kid Elberfeld Tells How a Mosquito
Aided Him in Fast Stunt.

The greatest play that Kid Elberfeld
ever made, so he states. was one of an
accidental nature. II occurred during a
game between Philadelphia and Cincin-
natl and it came about this way: Cor
coran was at the bat and Dwyer was on
first base. and he tried 10 steal second.
Eiberfeld. who was playing at short.
ran over TO take the throw. and as he
neared second a mosquito flew into his
right eye. To protect himself from the
runner ne blindly threw out his gloved
hand. and the ball landed in It, and at
the same time the runner rushed into the
ball and he was called out
Never in his life. says Elberfeld, did
he ever hear the equal of the cheering
that greeted this purely accidental stunt
and at the end OF the game the crowd
carried the Kid 10 the clubhouse on their
shoulders

HOW EVERS GOT HIS START
Does Substitute Act, Makes Good,
and Becomes One of Greatest
Second Basemen.

John Evers, the peer of all the second
sackers got into professional baseball in
a queer manner. He was living in Troy,
n. Y, at the time and attended game
out at the park. During the contest John-
ny, who was seated in the bleachers. was
called upon by Manager Barron on the
Troy club TO take the place of the second
baseman, who became i'll. Johnny con-
sented and put up crackerjack game
He was then regularly engaged by the
Troy management. and that fan Selee OF
the Boston club bought Evers and Pitcher
Hardy. At Philadelphia. Link Lowe, the
Bostons' second baseman, got hurt, ana
Selee wired Evers to come on. johnny
Jumped on a train and arrived in New
York. Having never ridden so far before
he was bewildered- He didn't even know
what a sleeper was. and had sat up al
night,
He hung about the station in his inno-
cence waiting for a train to take him 10
philadelphia until a trainman told him 10
go To Jersey City. Here Evers took the
cars TO the Quaker city, arriving there IN
the afternoon. He was put into douple
header, though sleepy and tired as he
was and Johnny chalked up four errors
In the two games. After that he played
twentv-three errorless games, and was the
talk Of the baseball world.

GAME IN DECADENCE.
English Sporting Critics Have Small
Regard for Australian offer.

London. Dec 2S.-The sporting critics
of the London dailies pay the fullest tri-
butte to Burns game exhibition of pluck
i'm his fight with Johnson at Sydney while
they indulge in ironical remarks about his
boastful attitude prior to the match.
Practically all reports cOncede that John
son was superior TO his opponent in every
particular, even in repartee-
The Daily Mail, in an editorial. says:
In intelligence. not to mention manners
Johnson seemed full match for the white
man. The fight is hardly likely TO figure
among the heroic ones of boxing history,
and the conclusion probably will be that
Burns obtained the championship in a
period of decadence and hardly deserved
his high reputation

There was no hesitation or equivocation
about Mr. Jeffries answers to the ques-
tions put to him. He said that he was
annoyed by the persistent attempts to
get him to agree to fight again. and that
he would like to have il made positive
that there is no way in which he can
be induced to fight johnson or anybody
else.
Jeffries is very fat. and entirely out
of condition. and il is thought by those
of his associates i'm this city who ought
to know that he never could be got into
condition to enter the ring, even if he
had the inclination to do so.

Sydney, Dec. E-Almost the sole topic
of conversation here now is the John

getting James J. Jeffries TO emerge from
retirement and fight the new champion
for the laurels the Californian once held.
Whether it will be possible to arrange a

so will be made by Hugh Mcintosh. the

That Mcintosh can afford to offer an
enormous purse for another champion

receipts from the Johnson Burns fight ag
gregated $4,000. This amount il is be-
lieved here, is the greatest ever taken in
for single prize fight. OF this sum Burns
