off on short notice with almost con-
vincing effect.
In a statment TO one of the evening
newspapers, purporting to be the pro-
motors views on the inject, he goes
into the minutest details In his effort
to show that 1t would have been sui
cidal for Johnson to have risked fake
knockdown at the time, because of the
opportunity 1t would have afforded the
Ketchel adherents to capture the fight
then and there by breaking into the
ring. bulldozing the referee and with
hurrah and rough house methods Sc
cure a victory for thei- man.
Then on the heels of this Coffroth
explanation Johnson comes to town
with statment almost identical with
the one made by Coffroth. The great
pains with which Coffroth takes to
explain every detail of the situation re-
minds me OF what the brilliant states
man, Senator John j. ingalls, of KAN
sas. once said in an interview. don't
exactly recall the subject that caused
the senator to make the remarks, but I
do remember quite well Of having said
that when 1t becomes necessary to
make an afIidavit that an egg was
I'GND~s 1851 Cos was 0O0ptlMls anu =
doubtful egg was always BAD
This would seem to appropriately fit
Coffroth's energetic efforts to show
that Johnson did not fake the knock
down. But, nevertheless and notwith-
standing, fell safe in predicting that
IL Johnson was doing his best against
Ketchel, and that he did not purposely
take the header, Jeffries will be q top-
heavy favorite when the two meet in
the ring.
In speaking of himself Jefe said to
me at the Albany hotel the other day
that he did not entertain the least
doubt that he would be as fit as he
ever was in his life when he faces
johnson in the ring.

4 hills at Carlsbad for several weeks i"

Mational RaaahalI Arbiters.

Memphis, Tenn, Nov. 1S.-The ma
tional board of arbitration concluded
it's work today and adjourned to meet
again in July in New York city, which
meeting will principally be devoted to
the important work of reclassifying
the leagues. Nearly sixty cases were
passed on by the board during the day
and a number Of others on the calen-
dar were referred by Sec. John ]. Far
relI for future decision.
The most important questions de-
cided by the board at it's session here
was the admission of the California
State league to the ranks Of organized
baseball The question involved the
ownership of hundred or more play
ers and carried with 1t the payment
of several thousand dollars.

THREE PLANS TO
BOOST BASEBALL

Cleveland Press: IT expect to go
before the rules committee of the two.
major leagues this winter with three
practical and up-to date suggestions
for increasing batting" said George
Tebeau at the Hollenden Friday.
Tebeau admits that he had made
over 100000 in baseball since he be-
came an owner. He sold the Louis
vile club not long ago for 100000
cash. He still owns the Kansas City
club, which made MIN $4,000 last
season, although finishing in sixth
place. George, or White Wings" as
he was known before he became a
magnate, played with the Cleveland
club under the management of his
brother Patsey, years ago.
IT am going to ask the committee
on rules to do these three things
said Tebeau. "All are entirely prac-
ticaI. Two of them are entirely new.
Here they are:
First-Increase the size of the BAH.
Second-Increase the size of the bat,
It's thinckness, / mean.
Third-Let a bench batter nit and
run bases for the pitcher.
| "Wnen j CAME Through SLlICd5O q
stopped and talked to Ban Johnson
about the bigger ball plan, and he
! was HNtensely interested. promising
: to write to Reach and Spalding about
it 1t is the best suggestion ever made
to increase batting.
TThe rules say the ball shall weigh
: not more than five and one-quartel
ounces and shall measure not more
than nine and quarter inches In
circumference. The moment you in.
crease these dimensions you put q bis
handicap on the pitchers. Add half ar
inch to the circumference of the ball
and the pitcher can't give it thai
sharp, quick breaking curve that hi
> does today. 1t will also cut down the
twirler's speed.
THE bigger ball will be hit mucH
more often, and will be much hard,
er to throw to first ahead of the has,
runner. 1t generally happens that {
man trying to steal is out by just ;
fraction of a second If the catchet
: had to handle a larger ball the bast
runner would often be safe where h,
would be called out under the pres
emit plan, and it's base running almos
as much as batting that the fans ar
clamoring for.
"The rules say the bat must no
:. be over two and three quarters inche
thick in the widest part. Why no
> make it half inch or even an Incl
thicker? That would mean lot NOR
4 base hits in every game, and base hit
are the things the fans are demanding
= Honestly, when one contemplate
the present size of the ball and ba
and the speed used by the big pitcher
of today, it is a wonder that there ar
any 800 per cent hitters in the bi
leagues.
ut is high time, too, that the rule
committee exempted the pitcher fror
e hitting and base running duty. TIL
$ pitcher has to do four ifths OF tn
s work performed by nine men. VIII
Q should ne go to bat when there ar
d always from FIVE to ten husky sub
: stitutes sitting on the bench?"

THE I.WS AS FARMERS

Our Jewish fellow citizens have moi
heretofore engaged to any extent id
agricultural pursuits, but tins IS no
LONGER true of them in the States O.
New York. Massachusetts,, Connecticut
PENNSYLVANIA and New Jersey. The
Jewish farmers from these States have
recently given an exhibition in the
city of New York, which brought to
oether 50. 900 visitors, an. which has
attracted national interest.
There were p farmers associations
represented by delegates during the
Fair and much work OF practical I'D.
portance was done by them.
The Federation of Jewish Farmers
of America was organized only in Jan
uary last, and air ady this body d
CHARGED with the duty of buying fert
lizers. seeds. &c, for the local bran
cbes and to establish in New York q
market where all of the products OF
the members of the Federation VIII D'
DISPOSED of. So our jew farmers are
learning early in their history the ad.
vantages of organization
Back to the farm is the cry
which has been taken mp in England
and Wales, and our hope is that II vii
cross the seas and ring ont clear ano
strong in America. The farms mus
be saved. or the cities will die, bu
the cities may die, and the farms still
live.
