BALTIMORE, April 11.-Eddie Dugan,
the clever little jockey, who spOrted the

As a free lance.
Dugan recently returned from Eng
land. where the stewards Of the English
Jockey Club refused to give him per
mission 10 accept mounts. The only
reason for their action was that Du-
cans reputation as a rough rider pre-
ceded him, and that the Englishmen
were not going to take any chances

LYNCH HAS PLANS
 FOR UMPIRINe REFORMS.
Hopes to Reduce Friction With Players
 Asks for umps' Grievances.

New York, Dec. 22-Thdmas J. Lynch. the new president of the Ma tional league, sent out a letter today to his six veteran umpires-Hank O'Day, Bob Emslie, Steve Kane, James E. Jhonstone, William J. Klem and Charles Rigler-asking them to com municate with him where most of their troubles with the playrs originated last season, and whether coachers, man. agers or "bench warmers" were prima- rily at fault.
 President Lynch, who was one of the best umpires the national game ever knew hopes to reduce the friction that has existed in the past between the referees and the players. But before he starts on any plans he wants the umpires to furnish him with a full list of their grievances and to learn from them the best means of making the arbitors and players work in harmony. His letter says in part:
 "As a National league umpire want you to answer. to the best of your abil- ity, this question:
 Where did most of your trouble with the ball players last season come from-the teams playing the game, the coachers, the managers, or the players sitting on the bench?
 "As your answer will have important bearingon some reforms for both um- pires and players that I wish to make in the running of the game on teh dia- mond next season. I want you to give this question careful study and report to me at your earliest convenience"

HOW HE WILL WIN. Jack Johnson Tells-Will Show His Real Fighting Form, He Says.


 "This is the surest thing ever said will beat Jim Jeffries. and do it with out any danger" remarked Johnson ir Philadelphia this week. T cannot tel you how many rounds. Jeffries' con- dition will settle that.
 .'They tried every way in the world to get me to roll over to Tommy Burns when we fought in Australia. I double crossed Burns good and hard. He thought he was going to go the limit and then come back in Frisco and re- peat. Stanley Ketchel got the same deal. I am champion and I am go- ing to fight every bout on the square"
 Knows He Can Hit.
 T will fight Jim Jeffries just the same as Jim Corbett did John l.. Sullivan, and you. know what happened. He will be dangerous for a time and know he can hit He never was good on evading a jab. and none of them ever rammed a left hand in his face like I will I can keep him away with this punch until he goes tired, and then for the first time n iny life will show you how Jack Johnson can fight. They claim win and still stall Well, will open up this time. It may be that Jeff can stand longer fight than most people think. I am going to play it safe, but if it hears the. forty fifth round then I am going to go after him and put him away. for I will never per- init him to go the limit.
 Saving His Punch for Jeffries.
 Did you ever notice when I get after a fighter to knock him out I al- ways do it. Take Burns and Ketchei I wanted to get both of them and I did. Then remember the night in this city at the Broadway A. C.. when I knocked out Morris Harris? He made me mad and I finished him in jig time. the public all the tinie have been saving it for just such 0 fellow as Jeffries.

Dan Patch Never Broke.

Minor Heir is a far different horse from Dan Patch. The old champion is one of those who are always on a pace; for years he never made a break in all his races and exhibitions. He is long striding horse, not the best gaited in the world, as he has pro- nounced swing behind. Minor Heir. on the other hand, is of the rapid fire, trappy gaited kind, going very high ocation to make him leave his feet. When he does break he is not handy at catching again. and in a race it usu- ally means a hard effort to beat the distance fag.l His speed is something terrific, and with another years train ing it would be no surprise to see him take a record around 1.5S.
