LAJOIE SAYS NO
MORE HANDSPRING

Manager Lajoie made most signifi-
cant remark the other day when he
said: Il only hope my boys will feel
the same next season as they do right
now If they have the same fighting
spirit as they showed last year, pre- dict
that the Maps will win the pennant IN
a walk" Heretofore the Maps have
been hand-shaking" team. The first
game with each of the seven opposing
teams found them handing out the glad
hand of welcome. There will be none Of
that in the future. They realize that
their only friends in base ball are their
own teammates. Joe Cantillon's Ma
tionals will get the icy mitt; McAleer's
Browns will be greeted with the frigid
stare; Jennings Tigers with the frosty
howdy, and Jones' White Sox will find
marble hearts where once there were
warm beats of welcome. Boston, Phila-
delphia and New York will be received
in like manner"
Bill Dineen is one of the hand shak-
ing kind and was always on friendly
terms with the Clevelands. He might
still be their warm friend had he
worked in his usual manner against
them. Instead. with nothing for the
Browns to gain, Dineen worked as hard
as he did in the game when he struck
Hans Wagner out and won a worlds
championship for Boston against Pitts
burg. Oh, yes the Maps will be waiting
for Mr.. Dineen next season, but not
with outstretched hands of welcome
Instead 1t will be a case of go after
Bill from the start of the game, with
no let-up until the last man is out
Nothing would please the Maps more
than to drive Dineen to the bench re-
peatedly and ultimately out of the
league.

Wind-Up Full of Punches.
NELSON MADE "IRON
MAN" PUNCHING BAG

NEW YORK, January 21.-"Fighting
Dick Nelson made a punching bag OF
Iron Man" Charlie Sieger. the little
fighter who halls from Hoboken, in the
star bout at the Sharkey A. c. dast night.
From the first gong until the bell ended
the tenth round Nelson punched and
battered his opponent around the ring at
Will, and the result was never in doubt.
Nelson staggered Sieger time and again
with stiff punches to the head and body,
and several times the Iron Man" was on
the verge of collapsing from the terrific
punishment administered by Nelson Each
time however, the bell saved him and he
managed to weather the Nelson gale for
the ten rounds.
AL Schumacher and frankie Mango
fought ten fast rounds to a draw In the
semi-final In the first five rounds
Mango had the better of the argument
and it looked as if he would have an
easy time in getting the decision. He
bored in continually and jolted Schu-
macher frequently with right and left
swings 10 the head. But in the last five
rounds Schumacher solved Mango's style
of fighting and became the aggressor He
eyened up matters in the last half of the
bout.
With an advantage in height, weight
and reach Tommy Maloney outfought
Johnny DAILY in ten rounds. DAILY fought
a good battle against odds, but Maloney's
advantages were too much for him. Early
in the fight Maloney opened a cash over
Days eye and the blood streaming from
the cut bothered Johnny during the re-
mainder of the fight. Maloney was the
cIeverer of the two and was able to jab

CLOSE SHAVE FOR
PITCHER OVERALL

Though fans all over the country have
Inarveled at the record made by OWE
overall. the giant twirler of the Chicago
Cubs, few are aware that the big Cali
fornian owes a great part of his success
to no other than Charles Graham, man
ager of the Sacramento club. 1t was
Graham who induced the Tacoma man
agement and Mike Fisher to hang on to
Overall when the big fellow was having
his slump.
Fisher signed Overall in the spring of
1904. just after he had left college. and.
although the big fellow had worlds of
speed and curves, he had barrels to learn
about the game. He was not the marvel
the Tacoma club hoped for. and accord
ingly, to cut down expenses, he was to
be canned or to have his salary cut 81
per month. Graham, who was captain of
the Tigers then, warned Fisher and the
Tacoma management that if Overall was
turned loose he would come back and
make dubs of them later on. and told
them to keep Overall for a while. OWE
was kept on the team and made good
from then Not until a year ago did
Overall know how close he came to being
fired. IF they had let me out then ]

PRACTICE GAME TONIGHT.
Georgetown and All-Stars to Clash
in Ryan Gymnasium.

The final workout before the big game
against Annapolis Saturday will be given
the Blue and Gray team in Ryan gym
nasium at $50 this evening. when it will
run up against the strongest bunch of
local goal-tossers that Coach Joyce can
find. AS the professor is pretty good
at discovering fast ones, the collegians
will no doubt have their hands full to
take care of their opponents, as was
the case Tuesday night, when they had
a game behind closed doors at Carroll
Institute. There, also, they were pitted
against a bunch of speedy ones, and
rumor has it that the final score was
pretty close.
1t is not now believed that Capt. Rice
will be able to play Saturday. His in
jury is worse than at first supposed,
AMI when tried In the last half of Tues
day nights contest he was greatly handi-
capped by the fact that he couldn't lift
his left arm. Schlosser will have to be
shifted to center, and Downey will be
sent back TO his old place at forward.
The absence of their leader will greatly
weaken the quint, but. even without him.
Coach Joyce is confident that the Navy

STATEWIDE PROHIBITION WINS
PASSED IN TENNESSEE OVER
GOVERNORS VETO.
Another Bill Prohibiting the Manu-
facture of Liquor In State Elk
pected to Pass Today.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, January T.-Over
the veto of Gov. Patterson both houses
of the legislature passed the senate bill.
which prohibits the sale of Intoxicating
liquors within four miles of a school house
in Tennessee, and is in effect statewide
prohibition act 1t is effective July 1,
1909. The vote in the senate was the
same as on the original passage.
In the house the vote stood sixty-one
to thirty six. the original vote there hav-
ing been sixty-two to thirty seven. In
each house the passage was effected
through combination of republican and
statewide democratic strength. The
galleries were packed in both houses, and
the debates following the reading Of the
governors message were bitter
The action Of the legislature practically
brings to close one of the most bitter
and sensational political fights in the
history OF Tennessee. Statewide prohibi-
tion was the main issue in the recent con-
test between Gov. Patterson and the late
Z. w. Carmack for the democratic guber-
material nomination, and though Pat
terson. who advocated local option won
the nomination, the legislature elected in
November last at the same time that he
him. This was. however. with the aid
of republicans, who gave the bill twenty
two votes in the House and five in the
Senate.
The bill to prohibit the manufacture of
Intoxicating liquor in Tennessee after
January 1, 1910. passed the senate yester-
day and is expected to pass the house
today.
The passage of the bill was the occa-
sion of an enthusiastic demonstration.
The reading of Gov. Patterson's veto mes
sage I'm the senate called forth some caus-
tic criticisms of the governor. Senator
Lane charged that the message con-
tanned an ingenious Islander upon the
senators, the manhood and the woman
hood of Tennessee.
SELMA. Ala. January 21--Ernest La
mar, president of the local Anti-Saloon
League, was indicted by grand Jury
today for violation of the state prohibition
law. 1t is charged that his firm sold
cider containing more than . per cent of
alcohol.

BOTH ARE SENT TO THE PEN.
White Man Who WEEDS Negress ct
Richmond Paws Penalty.

RICHMOND. Va, January 21.-Marcus
Lindsay and his wife, at Farmville. both
believing themselves negroes, have been
sentenced to eighteen years each In the
state penitentiary, the county circuit
court having decided that the man has
sufficient white blood in his veins to be
legally white
Lindsay is the son of white woman,
but is reputed to have had a negro father.
Believing himself to be a negro, as he
looks to be. he associated with negroes
from his infancy, lived with them and
attended their churches and schools. He
bore himself as a negro and never as
pired to be rated as a white man. Some
months ago he married Sophy Jones, q
negress and the widow of negro.
The laws of Virginia prohibit the inter-
marriage of both races. and both were
indicted. At the trial it was established
that Marcus is legally white. The court.
therefore, while lamenting the tragedy
which made them criminals without any
intention on their part. declared the mar
riage null and void and sentenced the
prisoners to the penitentiary.
The judge added that he would person.
ally petition the governor to pardon the
prisoners upon condition that all marital
relations between them should cease.

WHY BASE BALL is
AN HONEST SPORT

Base ball managers and foot ball coach
es are always dead sore when their team
loses, and they can scarcely be blamed
Of course the manager of a beaten team,
whether it be in base ball or foot ball,
gives out an interview in which he "doffs
his cap to the victorious manager and
congratulates him on having one of the
best teams ever" That's nothing more
than sublime bunk. That's all part of the
game. He says it because he knows the
public likes to hear just that sort of wal
la-walla." When he's not speaking for
publication he can advance no less than
10000 reasons why his team lost and why
they should have won. That's human ma
ture.
Professional base ball is like college
sports as a general rule. The game is
always on the level because it is a we'll
run business institution. It's almost as
difficult to fix ball game in the major
leagues as it is to make a 33-cent alarm
have been made in base bail in recent
years can be traced to the fact that base
ball has been conducted along business
lines-conducted honestly. Out on the field.
when the players are in action, it is the
same. Every man is out to win. While
in the game the great stars never think
of base ball as business. The cheers
of the multitude the glory of winning
makes them forget for the time all about
the salary envelope. The player that is
not constituted that way never becomes
star. They refer to him as a mechanical
player. He plays ball as he would saw
and hammer If he were carpenter. But,
nevertheless, the stars conception of
craftsmanship is far removed from that
of the amateur.
For instance, it is called dirty base
ball to spike an opponent. The fans de-
clare it is an unfair advantage taken to
win point. The star player will think
so. too. but the paramount thought of
the player is: He spiked that fellow and
maybe he has injured him SO that he will
not be able to draw as good a salary"
The game is not thought of then. The
really great players always want to win.
They will use tricks to accomplish their
ends. but none of the stars can ever be
accused of dirty work. AS for being sore
when they lose, all that is necessary to
satisfy the doubtful ones is to be about
the hotel where the team is stopping after
particularly hard-luck defeat Manager
and players alike are about as cordial
and pleasant as rat terrier is giving bat
tie to half-dozen rodents.
