BAN JOHNSON IS
STILL IN DOUBT

Chicago, December S0.-President
Ban Johnson of the American league
expressed the belief today that the
ticket scalplng case recently reviewed
by the national commission should be
reopened in order to remove all doubts
from the minds of Chicago baseball en-
thusiasts. Johnson is determined in
his purpose to bring the matter to the
attention of Garry Hermann and Har-
ry Pulliam of the National commission,
and he insists that newly discovered
evidence, said to be in the possession
of the former. shall be disclosed at
second hearing to be held here.
IF the case ever gets into the
courts" said President johnson, the
evidence now in hand will be sufficient
to drive the guilty ones from baseball
I have been threatened with a libel
suit for talking too freely of certain
officials and hope they will make
good their threats SO that 1 may throw
some light on the subject"

TOURIST PARTIES HAVE
ESCAPED DESTRUCTION

In the local offices of the two lines run
ming regularly to Sicily, it was said to-
day that no word has been received by
them from Messina or any other point
abroad regarding those of their vessels
that might have been in port at the time
OF the tidal wave.
1t was said in one of these offices that
many Sicilians in this country are max
ing preparations to hurry home to rem
der what assistance they can to stricken
relatives. The movement toward this
country of surviving relatives of Sicilians
all eady established here is regarded as
more than likely to offset this, however.
A score or more of prominent Italians
sailed today on the steamer Lucania for
Liverpool, expecting to reach the earth
quake territory and search for relatives
who were visiting home villages during
the holidays.
Liolello Perera delegate in this city of
tho Italian Red Cross Society, announced
today that he had received about 5000 for
the earthquake sufferers. OF this amount
5000 was given by Bonci, the Italian
opera singer; $1,000 by Brown Brothers &
Co., and $1,000 by ]. & w. Seligman & Co.

New York. December 30-Had the dis
aster in southern Italy occurred a month
later, according to local managers of
European tourists agencies, a much great
err number of Americans and other for
eigners must have persisted than doubt
less has been the case. This would have
been so. they point out, because the sea-
son for tourists in Sicily and Calabria is
at its height In the latter part of Jan
uary and really does not begin until after
New Years, either for Americans or
northern Europeans. None of the tourist
companies, so far as could be learned,
have parties In the danger zone.
There are fifteen direct steamship lines
between New York and Italy. Six Of
them fly the Italian flag. While all of
them carry passengers and freight des-
tined for southern Italy and Sicily, only
two may be said to make regular calls
at Messina. These two are the Sicilian-
American Steamship company and the
Anchor line. Almost all of the others
transport passengers for Sicily at Naples
and Genoa.

Athletic Cub Plays Well But
Loses By Score Of
1920
OH, YOU KIDDO! HOW
Mr. MAN COULD PLAY
Most Scientific Game Ever Played On
Local Floor-Thomas Was the
Clubs Star-Return
Game January a.

Thirty to twenty tells a story of de-
feat for the Birmingham Athletic club
but the crowd at the club last night had
the god luck to witness one of the fastest
most skilful exhibitions of basketball
ever played in Birmingham. Defeat at
the hands of Notre Dame was an honor
and the club team showed up in fine fet-
tie, fighting well against big odds, and
showing spirit even when they knew they
were beaten.
But for knowing how-for swift, catchy
work, for tricky maneuvers, and above
all for wonderful goal shooting, Notre
Dame is the peer of any team that ever
came south. No more will enthusiasts
talk about the Yale team of two and
three years ago for these boys laid it
1t over them easily. The Yale crowd
played rough, but the gentlemen on the
Athletic club floor last night big, stout
and husky, played a clean scientific
game. Their fouling was never inten-
tional and their manager, who refereed
the last half of the game was perfectly
fair in his decisions.
Notre Dame reached Birmingham after
playing six games since December 49, with
a loss of only one, and that to the cham
pions of America last year, the Central
Young Mems Christian association at Chi
cage. The record of the team this season
is as follows: Notre Dame 81 Marion
Tub, Indiana 10; Notre Dame As, Lewis in
stitute IA; Notre Dame 4S, Armour insti-
tute, Chicago, II; Notre Dame %, Central
Y. NJ c. A, Chicago, "a; Notre Dame
81, Morrison, ILL.,. 10; Notre Dame 40, Fair
field %; Notre Dame 43; Peoria Y M C.
A. 27; Notre Dame 81, Shelby college at
Shelbyville IA; Notre Dame co. Chris
tian Brothers college, St Louis Is; Notre
Dame 81, Nashville Athletic club Is; Notre
Dame 49, Birmingham Athletic club 90.
The same squad has played in all
the games and was as fresh last night
as if beginning the season.
The locals played a guard game. The
ball was under Notre DANES goal most
of the time, and when gotten out seemed
to come back immediatel Every
one of the boys, Thomas, Woodruff, Ware,
Hilty, STREET and Chairsell were in good
shape and played well. During the first
half they held the score down to 1870,
making a number of sensational goals.
Owing to loose refereeing the first half
was serappy and very rough. This, how
ever, was remedied in the second half.
Notre Dame returns to Birmingham on
January for another game with the club.
People who want to see basketball of the
first order will not miss this opportunity
and the club will go into the game with
a better knowledge of its enemies.
A detailed description of the game will
show wonderful shots made by Mahoney
from all parts of the field. Scanlon,
who played guard, shot four goals, and
was an individual star of note.
After three minutes of the closest and
most exciting contest, in the first half,
Woodruff scored the first goal for the
club. Thomas during the whole game,
played in his usual form. Here is the
score.

KAUFMAN BEATS
JIMMY BARRY

Los Angeles, Cal, December 31.-Ai
Kaufman of San Francisco tonight won
from Jimmy Barry of Chicago in the
thirty-ninth round of a 45-round bout.
Barry's seconds throwing up the sponge
after long, game fight, in many rounds
of which Barry seemed to have the bet
ter of Kaufman. The winner hung on
gamely, however, and came strong toward
the end.
The thirty -second, thirty-third and
thirty-fourt rounds dragged on with the
prospects apparently favorable to finish
of the As rounds but in the thirty-ninth
Barry's seconds suddenly threw up the
sponge and the referee declared Kaufman
the winner.
The fact that the winner Of the Kauf-
man-Barry fight at Jeffries arena to-
night will likely prove to be the next
challenger for the heavyweight champion
ship of the world lent greater interest to
the contest than to any other that has
been held for long time. While neither
Kaufman nor Barry were considered by
fistic experts as being necessarily of
championship timber, they have grad
mediocre class with no one standing be-
tween them and the championship but
Jack Johnson.
Barry had previously said he was will
ing to meet Johnson at any time and
place If he succeeded in defeating Kauf-
man, but the latter was more reluctant,
and his manager has stated that under
no circumstances would Kaufman be al \
lowed to fight a negro.
Tonight's fight was the first 45-rci {
contest ever scheduled in southern c, a
fornia and the prospect of a long m4
meant much to the devotees of the figh 4
game. Kaufman was heavy public ia
vorite in the betting and but few pickeo
the Chicago man as likely winner. 1t
was stated that Barry backed himself to
win at odds of 3 to /. Some other bets
were placed at 10 to and 10 to 7.
IT is probable that the winner of to-
nights battle will first meet DR.. B. F.
Roller of Seattle, who has already chal-
lenged, before fight with Johnson will
take place.
AL Kaufman had the advantage over
Barry in weight of at least ten pounds.
the Californian weighing about 1886 The
fight was for 80 per cent of the gate re-
CENTS with a guarantee to each fighter OF
$500.

Uncle Sam winds the calendar year 1908

Since the fiscal or business year began

about $65O00.o0O more than he has made.
This is the showing for only half the year
ana by the end of the financial twelve

$lOOO00,0OO. Secretary Cortelyou estimates
that 1t will be $114,OOO,OO0 Last year the
deficit was only s5s, 600, 900 for the 12 months
and the year before there was a sur
plus of about s40,000.OOO
Next year, if he is proportionatelv as
extravagant, the deficit will be flirting
with the s2oo,ooOOOo mark, and he has at
the present day only about S161 900 900

FIGHT RENEWED.

practically taking possession Of tie
Boston & Maine Railroad, through the
purchase of numerous blocks of stock
of the latter road, it was shown that
the holdings of the New Haven road
amounted to about Sc per cent. of the
total issue of Boston & Maine stock
AS the balance of the Boston & Maine
stock is scattered among numerous
investors, it was claimed at the hear
ing last year that the New Haven's sc
per cent. meant control.
Following out the suggestion of Gov
crnor Guild, the Legislature Of last
year passed an act which prevented
the New Haven from exercising its
powers conferred by the possession Of
the stock until after July l, 1908. The
stock has therefore remained in the
treasury or under the control Of the
New Haven road pending the final set
tlement of the question whether the
New Haven shall be permitted to re-
tain full control or shall he restricted
by an act of the Legislature.
The leaders i'll the anti-merGcr move
ment last year were William IS. Law
renee of Medford, representing a large
bleck of the preferred stock of tha
Boston & Maine. and Louis D. Bran
dcis. prominent attorney of this city.
Both these gentlemen were present ut
the hearing today and led the opposi-
ton. four of the bills being on petitions
by Mr.. Lawrence.
While the committee announced at
the outset that it was prepared to
hear those in favor Of the different
bills, it preferred to hear some cx-
preston upon the recommendations of
the governor, especially in reference
to giving the railroad commission
power to enforce its findings.
The speakers during the morning
We're J. e. c. Smith. president of the
New England Dry Goods Association;
j. B. Ferriss, the vice president. Louis
d. Brandeis and William B. Law
renee.
Mr.. Smith and Mrs. Ferris told The
committee that in their opinion the
railroad commissioners should be Civ
en- the power to enforce it's recon-
mendations and impose penalties.
Mr. Brandeis took up the delays in
the passenger service on the Boston
& Albany and claimed that the rail-
road commission if given more power
could bring about better service.
Mr. Lawrence spoke at some length
in opposition to the merger.
The hearing was then adjourned I'M
til March ., the chairman stating that
the long postponement was due to the
delay in receiving the report on trans
portation which is being prepared by
the special commission on commerce
and industry.
