HON. JAMES h. JONES.

The Graphic feels sure that the Ar
kansas Gazette expresses a profound
and solemn truth when it declares that
deep and sincere regret will be felt
all over Arkansas at the death in
Washington of former Senator James
Senator Jones the following we'll de-
served tribute:
James kimbrohsh Jones came of
good Mississippi stock, and was a
mere child when his father removed
to Arkansas and settled in Dallas
county. He was thus an Arkansan FER
practically his whole life BY grad
ual steps, through honors worthily
won, he climbed to height in nation
al affairs reached by no other citizen
of Arkansas with the exception of
Augustus H. Garland. He began his
political career in the State Senate at
the extraordinary session OF 1874, dur
ing the Brooks Baxter war. After
being twice elected to Congress he was,
in 1885 made United States senator,
which Office he held for is years.
Mr.. Jones was part and parcel of
the silver fight. His work in the BIZ
metallic meeting at Memphis marked
him as one of the lieutenant generals
of the battle that political seers had
for some time discerned from afar.
The Memphis meeting was the prelim-
mary movement that resulted in the
capture of the Chicago convention of
j. Bryan. On account of Mr. Jones'
great efforts for bimetallism Mr.. Bry-
an asked that the Arkansas senator
be made chairman of the Democratic
National Committee. He was again
made chairman in 1900, and thus for
many years was the most prominent
and the best known citizen of Arkan-
sas He continued 10 take the liveliest
interest in the party's affairs, and
probably nobody stood closer TO VIII
liam J. Bryan.
James IN. Jones Was IL HAL vi hlllu
heart and good purposes. Christian
gentlemtn, a student of public affairs
and an ideal citizen. Besides the loss
of several members of his family
through death probably the only cloud
that overcast his long and successful
life was the fight made on him by
which he was defeated for the senator
ship in 1902 He felt that he had sui
fered unjustly through the interior
ence in that contest of political force
with which the people of Arkansas
have since become very familiar. But
the check to his political career did
not end his usefulness and this is a
true test of a man, to survive de-
feat after half a lifetime spent in pol
itics He went straight from public
Office TO an active and successful law

ARE ACCUSED
LETTER TO BRADEN CONCERNS
LOCAL STUDENTS
ALLEGES THAT BALL PLAYERS
PERFORM FOR MONEY
Amateur Athletic Association Prob
ably Will Investigate Amateur
Baseball Conditions
BY RED PERKINS

The friends of Sam Lafferty, the
Polytechnic high school student who
was suspended last week by the A. A.
U. for taking part in alleged semi
professional baseball games, have sent
letter to Chairman George Braden
of the Southern California branch of
the 2. a. A. regarding several high
school and college athletes The COM
munication states that Knowles, the
Hollywood high school pitcher, is
regular member of the Hollywood foot
ball and baseball clubs and plays on
the Hollywood town baseball team
every Sunday afternoon, and that the
club is playing for a cash prize in the
Suburban league.
Two college athletes of the u. S. c.
also are named. They are Burek ana
Hatch, who are alleged to have taken
part in games in the Southern State
league and that the clubs in this league
during the past six months have been
playing for a cash compensation.
Pitcher Crossman, also of the Methodist
college, lis named as being in the same
class as Lafferty. Among the high
school students are "Monk" Pierce and
his brother Tom, Tompkins, Strang and
DOdson of Polytechnic are named as
violating the rules Of the A, A. U.
Henry Melone of Polytechnic is al
legged to be a postgraduate, and ac-
cordng to the rules of the A. A. U. is
not eligible to take part in high school
athletics. Hatch, who now is attend
Ing Whittier high school, is said to
have taken part in games at Los
Nietos, where Andy Briswalder, the
pitcher of the Los Angeles team, plays
third base when not playing with the
Los Angeles club. Strang is reported
as having taken part in a game in
which the Edison team played in the
California winter ranks. At the We'd
nesday night meeting the card of
Pitcher Morrison was called in for
playing on the Santa Ana Stars team,
in which several professional players
are being harbored.
Santa Ana players that have been
requested to appear before the COM
mission are Guy -Geats catcher; Stay
back, Beach, John Pratt, Frankeo and
Herbert Witt.
In all probability the above named
students will be notified to appear be-
fore the commission at the next regu-
lar meeting and show cause why their
amateur cards should not be taken up.

the Cellas, have blighted the game
wherever they have gone, and they
seem in a fair way to put a block to
the sport in the blue grass state be-
fore they complete their work. This
is the same bunch that was said to
be headed for the coast for the win
ter. In self-defense, Tom Williams and
Lucky Baldwin should get together
and devise some means for preventing
them from being among those present
at either track at any time during the
winter season. They are the jinks to
the racing game, to say the least.
Although stable room has been as
signed to Tommy Fullum, no word
has been received as to when he and
his peerless noisemaker, Mickey Shee-
dy, will arrive. Just how the winter
season is going to be success without
this interesting and entertaining pair
is beyond calculation. They will be
along. all right enough, and Tommy
may have another Lois Cavanaugh in
his string.
r. F. Carman, millionaire society
and clubman and last, but not least.
horseman, arrived yesterday from New
York, accompanied by his wife. Mr..
Carman will have the pick of his
string at Arcadia this winter and is
likely to duplicate his feat of last
year in annexing a large number OF
the fat purses.

STANDING OF THE CLUBS
Portland 7, Angels 1

History repeated itself yesterday at
Chutes park when the Beavers dupli-
Gated Wednesdays performance and
defeated the Champs with little effort.
The Angels played listless, half
hearted game. With Smith in the box
for the locals 1t was easy money for
the visitors from the first inning, when
Johnson found him for a home run,
in addition to scoring Casey and Raj
terry both of whom had reached first
without touching the ball. Danzig got
a couple of wo-baggers and Kinsella
and Ellis got one apiece.
Kinsella, assisted by the furnbing
Angels, had no trouble in holding the
locals down to the eighth inning with
out a run. In this inning the Angels
were saved the humiliation of a shut
out through the good graces of Bassey,
who fumbled Ellis fly, allowing East
erly to score.
Following is the official score and
summary.

Mishaps

PHOENIX, Ariz., Oct. "a. j.
Smith and George Dake reached Phoe-
nix at 5 o'clock p. m. today in the Ell
more car, Bulldog, after a test trip
over the course of the Los Angeles
Phoenix race. They used the same car
which will run in the race, and came
through without a scratch.
The car was held up for eight hours
on the Mojave desert, between Mecca
and DOS PaImas, by quicksand. The
occupants finally extricated the car
without assistance by using sagebrush,
tamped in front of the rear tires and
being spread along the route.
Smith will enter the territorial fair
races, as they have been sanctioned by
the A. A. A. They will be held No

filled with local fight fans who went
to the Gate city to attend the Howard
Baker-Charlie Anslinger argument

the greatest number of fans who ever
went to that city from Los Angeles to
attend any fight and the crowd was
increased by several others who went
up on the evening trains. Dick Ferris,
Bob Golmer and others drove their
cars up that way, taking the capacity

Santa Anita during the season.
Nearly every horseman who has a
horse that looks at all good is making
stake nominations, and while so per
cent of them will be declared out in
course of time, this liberal patronage
of the fixtures of the meeting bears
out the prediction already made that
the stake events next season will be
far more valuable than the same events
last season. The winner will pull
down a tidy little fortune in each
event and the best class of horses will
be seen in action very time a stake

Fireman's Opponent Has Three Hum

VIII Win Inside of the
Time Limit

All eyes of the local pugilistic world
are turned on the heavyweight boxing
contest which will take place at Nc
Carey's pavilion November 6. Jim
Barry and Jim Flynn are working
hard to get in shape for the encounter,
as each man realizes that to win he
must be in better condition than ever
before, and from the looks of the two
men they certainly will do justice to
themselves when they meet.
Barry is so confident Of administer
ing defeat to the fireman that he all
ready is planning for a couple OF more
battles at McCarey's pavilion. He said
Yesterday that he would take on either
Fred Bradley or Fred Cooley, which,
ever might be selected by the Pacific
Athletic club to meet him, After he
has returned from a contemplated trip
to Chicago he will be willing to talk
concerning a contest with Al Kaufman
over the ten-round course
Barry figures that ten rounds will be
sufficient for all of the fights in which
he engages. He says that he viii fin
ish Jim Flynn in jig time and is Will
ing to wager $500 at the prevailing odds
that he will win from the fireman be-
fore the bout has ended.
Flynn says little regarding his
chance of victory, but he is intensely
in earnest in this battle, for he has
little use for Barry since their ten
round draw at Denver. Hot words
passed between them at that battle and
Flynn has not forgotten the language
which Barry used on the occasion and
he declares that he will make him eat
his words when the two meet in the
ring.
Barry went on the road as usual yes
terday and in the afternoon he boxed
with Herberts after he had finished
his regular stunts.
Flynn did his road work also in the
morning at Eastside and his afternoon
work consisted of rope skipping, bag
punching, weight lifting and boxing.
He was unusually active in the nit
line, doing four rounds each with Bat
Ting johnson, Eddie Danaher and
Johnny O'Keefe, who kept the fireman
busy during the boxing.
The entire card was completed yes
terday by the addition of a bout be-
tween Young McGovern and Kid Bren-
nan. The program is as follows: Jim
Barry VS.. Jim Flynn, ten rounds; Ed
die Danaher VS.. Willie Mack, six
rounds: Mike Dalton VS.. Congo Coon,
six rounds; Young McGovern VS.. Kid
Brennan, six rounds.
Brennan has considerable speed and
can make 112 pounds, and McGovern
is willing TO take him on at the smaller
figure The two boys expect to train
hard for the contest for the remainder
of the period loft before the 9Th, and
the fans should see some fast work
