There won't be a, mob there. Only a good, respectable crowd of prominent boxing admirers and their friends who will take in the affair upon invitation from the parties providing the entertain ment. a,
 Buf the show. while it lasts, will from all accounts. be hummer ana one worth travelling some distance to see For when Bunny Ford gets to going there is always plenty of excite ment to last for a while. Then, again. this eve he will face the old veteran Austin Rice of New London. the boy who for manN years has held down rep of being composed Of iron anu while he has not scored victories over all his opponents, it has been difficult t to locate boy his weight who could make Austin quit.
 Ford is in perfect shape. He has
 been working out with Willie Lewis at Hotel Uncas. Savin Rock. and his packers feel that Rice has at last met his superior Ford will get into the

Y0STS AND WEST ENDS
 ARhSTILL QUIBBLING
Each Team Claims Right to Services of
 Johnson.

There are still many details to De fixed up between Manager Lynch or the Yosts and Manager Ritchef of the West Ends before the two teams meet this Saturday at Newfield Park in the first of a three game series The West Ends want the admission at the park to be 25 cents and 10 cents for the grand stand The Yosts want the general admission 15 cents and 10 cents for the grand stand The West End prices are the same as are charged at the professional games.
 Another matter which is liable to cause a, break is that Ritchell will not allow Pitcher Amos Johnson to play with the Yosts Johnson is also a member of the West End team. The West Ends have any amount of good pitchers, while the Yosts have to de pend upon White and Johnson with sRohrback to fall back upon if neces- sity requires.
 Mitchell is reminded that Mike Smalling played with the Yosts against the South Ends, though he also was member of the latter team. The South End management did not want to break up the team work of the Type writer crowd. Then again Pitcher White and Catcher Wilson played against their team mates, the New fields, and their Sabsence from the lat ter team weakefled that outfit. In view of the fact that the Yosts can use only a player who works in their factory, and the West Ends can go all over Connecticut to get the players many fans believe Manager Rltchel should not hog it all. k

My salary for the year was s4.5co on my contract, but McGraw fined me $1,7O0 on one pretext or another, so I've got only $2, 800 for my work this year."
 Says Jennings. Detroit's manager: ttThe Pirates have a great team and they have won the National League pennant in a comparative walk. Bar ring the Cubs and Giants, they have had practically no serious opposition, while Detroit has been compelled to fight hard all season to keep in front because of he strength. of not only the Athletics but also the Bostons, Chicagos.

NEARING THE END
 IN BIG LEAGUES

Rochester won the Eastern league ,ennant with .34 points to spare. Man ager John Ganzel had transformed them from the tailenders of 1908 to the leaders in 1909. The champion Baltimores of 1908 had poor season finishing seventh. Newark under Joe McGinnity was second.
 Des Moines Tuesday won the pen- nant in the Western league by a re- markable series of games, the cham pionsfip being in doubt until the very last ball had been thrown. Des Moines won over Sioux City by just one point. On Monday Sioux City stood at the head. of the column, with Des Molnes second. On Tuesday Sioux City drop ped two games.
 President Farrell of the New York Americans says that his team is will ing to sign an iron clad agreement the New York Giants a series of games for the CitY championship both in the Spring and in the Fall The Giants are yet to be heard from.
 Here's how Manager Jennings of the Tigers sizes up the relative strength of the Pittsburgs and Detroits: How do I compare the Tigers and Pirates We'll, you can say that Ty Cobb off, sets Hans Wagner at any rate. Then Sam Crawford is a stahdoff for Tom my Leach or Fred Clarke. Moriarty is better third baseman than Byrne, and Bushi is Miller's equal as an in- . fielder. The Pirates have a better catcher in Gibson than either Stanage or Schmidt. but when it comes to pitchers Detroit has four-Summers, .Mullin, Donovan and Willett-who will keep the Pirates from killing the ball that is to say, of course. if we play them for the worlds champion. and Sinoare1u hone we dO.p
 Johnnie Kling,~ former catcher for the Chicago Cubs after hearing how the Pittsburgs have cinched the National League pennant said yesterday: Well, T am tickled to death.

 Hughey Jennings and his Tigers will appear in New York next Wednesday to mix with the Yankees in a post poned game for the benefit of Sam Crane, the veteran baseball writer and former National League star. The Detroit manager volunteered his ser- vices as soon as he learned that the Giants had refused to meet their rivals in the benefit game.

BOXING

James J. Jeffries is doing his work at Jim Pratt's quarters, at Neuilly-on- the-Seine, a suburb of Paris, prepara- tory to meeting Jack Johnson, the col ored champion. Jeffries' training which began soonS after he returned from Marienbad, has been interrupted by a cold contracted while he was at tending the races, and for two days the pugilist has been confined to his room. His wife, however, says that his illness is not serious and it is ex- pected that Lhe will soon take up his work. A
 Jim Pratt, who has followed the fighters for years, considers Jeffries in the pink of condition and ready to enter the ring with Johnson.
 "Jeffries is as quick as lightning, said Pratt. 'The treatment which he underwent at Marienbad has reduced his superflous fat and his waist line has fallen away practically to normal His weight is about 225 pounds. All that he needs now is to get his mus c1es in trim, and I am sorry that his training, which is confined largely to punching the bag and skipping the rope, has been interrupted"
 No definite arrangements have beer made for fight with Johnson, al though Hugh Mcintosh, the Australian fight promoter. has offered $55,0o0 for contest between these two heavy weights in Paris. Jeffries has refused the offers of several music hall man. agers to give sparring exhibitions.

 Vatican officials are now sin confer ence with the police regarding the manner of removal as it is feared that AnaIchists may conspire to cause a disturbance.
 Since the. death of Leo. Anarchists have kept constant watch over the vatican for fear the removal of the body should be effected secretly at night. They believed the announced date for the removal is to deceive them and they will henceforth redouble their vigilance.

HOW KETCHELL EXPECTS TO DEFEAT JOHNSON

From the way in which Stanley KetchelT is going about his training, it is very evident that the broad shoulderedtk tk higander intends to fight Jack. Johnson. with all his wiz ardly cleverness, off his< feet as soon a S possible, ,safter the stroke of three on October F. Besides the much heralded knocking out of a bristllng has planned with foxy Willus Britt a battle that promises to weaken John sons marvellous defense. To begin with, Ketchell offers the suggestion that lhe< isn't a jackanapes, and that he doesn't intend to throw himself the Pueblo fireman, in his meeting with the dusky dandy of the game.
 Flynn and all the others made that mistake said Ketchell yesterday. Billy Roche will tell you that the men who have fought Johnson have got up gong with the one idea in their heads that Johnson had a streak and that they were, there to locate it and show him up The result was that they played into his hands He is that kind of a fighter. He is perfectly safe so long as man losses himself on to his jabs and uppercuts.
 ''I got my cue on this fight when I watched him fight Jack O'Brien in Philadelphia. In that fight learned CndC the only way to WHIp JOulSO1 was to draw his fire. A man is at a fighting disadvantage when he at tacks. Tt is just as possible to draw Johnson out as it is any man, and it will be more so in this fight. He is twice xas big as am. I intend to crouch and tickle him with little pokes into leading. As soon as he does l will jump in and whale away for dear life at his body.
 ''I tell the fans frankly that no man lives who can withstand my punches to the ribs. Johnson will be no ex- ception. I figure to win inside of ten rounds or I will have little chance. Johnson can be hit Jack O'Brien hit him a thousand times on the nose with mean little left jabs. I knocked Jack cold in two rounds practically, and the best that Johnson could do with OBrien was to wrest1e him to the floor He. didn't score a clean knock down. Just look back and count up the times that I sent OBrien down with clean punches, or with punches as solid as any man has ever been able to land on him. My hope with Johnson is in the showing of each of us with O'Brien, after allowing for Johnson's poor condition. This fight won't be one-sided.'
