BIG BASEBALL DEAL,
AFOOT TO BOLSTER
NEW YORK GIANTS
King, Konetchy, and Magee for Gotham; WEtse to
Chicago, Devlin to Philadelphia, Merkle and
Herzog to ST. Louis.
By THOMAS S. RICE.

Comes from New York a startling tale
that there are big dOings afOot to
strengthen the National League team Of
that city by a sort of wholesale trade
and purchase.
The story originates with the New
York Press, which, as a rule, does not
fly OF at a tangent just for the. sake
Of killing space. Here is the substance
of things hoped for in the maneuvering
of Manager John McGraw, and the pub
lie win have to take it on faith until
there is confirmation OF the deal;

but there are few critics who believe
il is wonderful in any department OF
The game. Although the Pirates mace
runaway in 1873, the proposed IoftiIy-
ing of the Giants would balance up
accounts to such an extent that the
National League race would be an
open betting proposition, with the pros
poets of a close finish, something the
league has needed for years.
Wonder if Jimmy AIcAleer is going to

town next week?
What makes the alleged deal Of the
Giants look more probable IS the ire

mission-Claims He Is AS Fast and Can
Hit Harder Than Corbett

NEW YORK, Oct. 2S.-Jack Johnson,
who expects to sign articles for a cham
pionship battle with j. J. Jeffries, is in
New York today.
When asked how he expected to beat
Jeffries for the championship of one
world when great fighters like Fitzsim-
mons. Corbett, and sharkey could not
knock him down when they were in
their prime, Johnson said;
Il may not hit as hard all the time
as Fitzsimmons used to when he was
at his best. but I will hit Je1ries
oftener, and now and then I will jar
him with just as much force as any Of
the big fellows ever did.
Can Hit Hard.
You all know that / hit harder than
Corbett ever did, and I am just as fast
He made Jeffries look like an amateur
for twenty-five rounds and then Jeffries
landed a lucky punch in the twenty
third that ended the battle.

those. He'll think the entire audience
is hitting him at one and the same

Though many seem to think other
wise, the automobile has done more TO
aid the cause of good roads than any
thing else since roads were first built
in this country. The movement for
good roads which began when bicycles
were so generally used. has increased
with the use Of the automobile, and 1t
is safe to say that every owner Of
car In this country is interested TO
some extent in the good roads question.
It is fact that ever motorist
desires good roads. and all over the

a great deal toward getting them. In
many sections road improvement has
