HARD FIGHT ENDS AT LAST
Manager Jennings Is Quite Confident
of Defeating Pittsburg for the
Worlds Championship in
Coming Series.
AMERICAN LEAGUE STANDING

Boston. September 9O-The fight for the
American league pennant is over. De-
troit has won again, making it three
straight championships and record for
the league The champions lost their
game here today 9 to 7, but as Philadel-
phia lost two to Chicago the Detroits are
sure of the flag.
Todays game was hard fought, both
teams using two pitchers. Mullin was
batted hard in the first inning and In
part of the second. Willett also was
hammered hard. Detroit drove Wood
from the box, but Hall held the visitors
sooreless. Three runs were tailed in each
of the first two innings by the homo
team. Detroit, by fast work on the bases
and timely hitting, was soon leading by
one run. Boston won the game In the
eighth inning with two out. With men
on second and third French singled, scor-
ing two runs. Another hit sent in an
additional run, giving Boston a total of 8.
The champions this season had to make
the hardest kind of a fight to win the
flag, and up TO last week the result of
the race was in doubt
Detroit started off well and remained
at the top for weeks, mainly through
the remarkable work of its pitchers. A
setback came toward the middle of the
season, however, and at one time the
champions dropped as low as third place.
They did not stay there long, bracing
up considerably and passing Philadel-
phia and Boston. who were in first and
second place, respectively.
A long series at home again gave the
pennant winners a good leads before they
made their second eastern trip. But on
that trip they slumped again, and when
they went west for their last home series
were about on even terms with Phiiadel-
phia and Boston.
Two deals for players, by which Detroit
strengthened its inf1eld. again put win
ming combination in the field and gave
the champions a comfortable lead be-
fore they started for their last invasion
of the east.
Manager Jennings feels confident of
winning the worlds championship, and
says the experience his players gained
in their two series with the Chicago Ma
tionals for that honor will help them
greatly. Score:

JEFFRIES WANTS
100000 TO FIGHT

Paris, September 30.-James J. Jeffries
the American heavyweight who has been
training here for his proposed fight with
Jack Johnson, said today that he had
almost completely recovered from the
cold which he contracted several days
ago while attending the races. He will
leave here for London on Tuesday next
and will take the steamer for the United
States on October Is.
Jeffries says he has been working hard
both at Carlsbad and here and that he
is most anxious for fight with Johnson.
He added, however. that nothing has
been definitely settled.
Jeffries, who still calls himself the
worlds champion. expressed himself as
disappointed at the meagre offer of $685.
900 for a fight saying:
II am the champion of the world. /
have everything to lose and nothing to
gain. Therefore I don't want to fight for
a purse of less than 100000 That is the
sum first proposed, but since | have be-
gun training my adversaries appear less
keen. l believe, however that l will
make a match as soon as I reach New
York 1 should prefer to fight in Amer
lea rather than In Australia and have
reason to believe that the governors OF
several states would be willing to allow
a fight to take place"
Continuing, the big heavyweight said
that he considered himself in splendid
physical condition
II am quicker than I ever was, he adj
ded, land I am confident l can lick
Johnson
To friends with whom he discussed the
fight Jeffries repeatedly said that the
only thing he feared was a man with
powerful left.
Mrs. Jeffries is keeping a watchful eye
on her husband and accompanies him
everywhere.

Gr1SSeM Protest Put
In Hands OF President
.................................

The board of governors of the City
league held its final meeting last night
at the Birmingham Athletic club. The
affairs of the league were all gone into
in detail and everything was found to
be in first-class shape.
Grasselli had filed protest of all the
alleged championship games played with
Bessemer to decide the pennant on the
ground that Catcher OMara of the sBesse-
mer team had played professional base
ball all last summer and supported their
protest by documents tending to prove
their case.
Bessemer while not having protested
any one of the games Offered evidence
that one of the .Grasselli players had
played ball during last season on other
clubs. receiving money in compensation
for services rendered. Bessemer, how
ever, did not predicate the charges upon a
protest in accordance wit hthe bylaws
of the league.

A motion was made to throw out the
games played to decide the winner and
award the games to Grasselli, which was
lost for want of second. Likewise Il
motion to disallow the protest of Grasseli
was lost for the want of second. A
motion was made and unanimously car
ried referring the entire matter to the
president for his consideration and de-
cison.
President McGaughy, not being DESTROYS
of deciding too hastily, asked for several
days in which all the evidence might be
gone into and the question considered in
all its bearings before rendering a de-
cision. This was acquiesced in by the
board, and thus the matter rests for the
present.
The City league season just closed has

Howard college is going to Montgomery
this afternoon to meet Auburn tomor-

The chance of a Howard victory is
slim, experts judge However, the Bap-
lists are determined to give the chesty
fellows from the plain a great tussIe, and
there may be surprise.
The Howard aggregation is fast and
we'll trained. considering the few days in
which they have been put through their
tricks. Coach Longwell has been hard at
work with the boys, and they look strong
and formidable. While there is great dis
appointment that several of the old stars
failed to return, the new men have shown
up we'll They are fighters, and this goes
a long way.
The student body hoped against hope
that Blount. Moon, Allen and Grenade
would return, but neither made an APP
pearance. So the loss of this quartet of
tried men will hurt materially.
The Howard lineup is as follows:
Center, Vaughn.
Guards Burns Hughes, Girles, Las
sitter, Duke.
Tackles, Berry and Brewer.
Ends. Hudnall and Mcintyre
Fullback Denny.
Quarterback, w. Burns.
