 IS DECLINED
Judge Kavanaugh Won't
 Have It.

Memphis. Tenn, Sept. 24-(SpeciaD Word from Little Rock, Ark, says Judge W. M. Kavanaugh, president of the Southern League has been offered the presidency of the South Atlantic League through a letter received from President Jones of that organization. President Jones, offering to guarantee sufficient votes to elect provided President Kavanaugh's consent Is ob- tained
 When asked about this, President Kavanaugh said he regarded the cor respondence as confidential, but ad- mitted that such a proposition had been made. He said, however, that he was in base ball because 1t was hob Tor that reason he would never con sent to head an organization located so far away from his private business af- fairs as the South Atlantic circuit. The refusal of President Kavanaugn Is said to have been accompanied by a polite endorsement of former Mayor Joyner. of Atlanta. who, 1t is said aspires to the presidency. Julge kavanaugh's attitude in regard to the South Atlantic honor Is believed to mean that he will never consent that his name be put in nomination as a | candidate for the Southern League presidency, should Little Rock sell the franchise or withdraw from the circuit as it Is reported the club will do after the 1910 season, when the ten year agreement between the clubs will have ended.
 W. G. Hutton, State Treasurer of Arkansas an1 former professional ham and prior to that Vanderbilt University star. is mentioned as suc- cessor to Judge Kavanaugh in the event that any change occurs.

Say He Will Take KetehePa Measur, in Jig Time and Back Opinion With Real
 Money,

San Francisco, Sept. 24.-(Special.)- The sports on the coast are beginning to take more than a passing interest in the bout between Jack Johnson and Stanley Ketchel. which Is to be decid- ed at Colma on October f2. Last night several bets were recorded. which sho W that the fight experts do not figure Ketchel as having a chance against the negro champion.
 One bet of 2 to 1 that Johnson gets the decision was made yesterday. and last night the Johnson people offered even money that Ketchel will not stan l up before the negro for twenty rounds The poor showing that Ketchel made against Papke in their last bout has sent Kentchel's stock down a peg.
 Johnson began active training for the bout to-day. The big fellow has map ped out a busy program, in which box ing will serve as the main feature or camp fife. In meeting ketchel the negro anticipates a gruelling battle owing to the great speed of the Michi gan man. but visi ors to Johnson's quar- ters to-day received Johns 9n's solemn promise to see a quick finish: Accord Ing to Johnson's line Of dope, the fight will go fewer than twelve rounds Ketchel Is now on his way here from New York.

WRIGHTS WILL FIGHT
 FOREIGN AEROPLANISTS

New York, Sept. 24-Any attempt tt make flights in this country with 4 bleriot or Farman aeroplane, or anS other foreign made machine. which they consider an infringement of theii patents will meet with the opposition of the Wright Brothers. Announce. ment to this effect was made todd, by Wilbur Wright in his aeroplant shed on Governors Island in connec. tion with report of the proposed i'm. portation of a Bleriot monoplane by H Hayden Sands of New York, and the purchase of a Farman bi-plane by ] w. Cursor. of Jackson, Miss.
 "If these machines are brought to this country for the purpose of mak. ing flights we will file suits against the owner" said Mir. Wright.
 Both the Bleriot machine and the Farman machine are infringements oi our patents" MT Wright explained that the basis for his claim that these two foreign machines infringed op the rights of himself and his brothers, was not merely their patents on the warp ing planes, but that they based their contention on the patent governing the combination of any surfaces with the planes by which the machine was made to circle about or to maintain It's equilibrium
 According to MT. Wright. who has seen the various foreign machines. the Bleriot monoplane Is a direct in- fringement of the Wright patent.
 While Mir. Wright has completely assembled his aeroplane. with the exception of the horizontal rujder. it is not probable that he will make a flight tomorrow. His motor Is ready for testing and the monorail is ready to be placed in position.
 MT. wright has decided 10 attach a canoe to the under part of his aero plane. He will cover 1t with canvass so that 1t will not fill with water in case he Is compelled by any chance to alight on the bay. The canoe will be placed well in front, as Mir. Wright believed the tendency of the machine on striking the water would be to plunge forward on account of the shape of the plane.
 Glenn H. Curtlss Is at Hammonds- port. N. Y, assembling his machine for next weeks flights in this city.

SPORTS COLD FEET
 CALLED OFF FIGHT

New York. Sept. 24.-(Special. )-The astonishing statement was made toda, by high county official that the call ing on of the Langford-Ketchel light scheduled for last Friday night at the Fairmont Athletic Club, Was really tn- stigated by well known local sporting men. who feared for their bets.
 The truth about this affair has not yet been printed" said this man. "As a matter of fact, Ketchel, the favorite hurt his arm in training, or at least a report that he had hurt his arm war circulated quietly. There happened to be a group of men prominent around Forty-second Street and Broadway who had wagered big sums of money on Ketchel to win.
 Fearing that if their man went into the ring with a crippled arm he would be licked by. the negro. these men set to work deliberately to break up the bout. They succeeded In arousing cor tain anti-hght advocates without let ting their interest in the matter be known to the reform element, and as a result strong representations were made to the Governor that the law was about to be violated
