Chicago. Oct 19.-"Jeffries will meet
johnson just as soon as details for a
bout can be agreed on; and he will
knock Jacks head off, sure"
This was the prediction made by
Sam Berger, recently sparring and
vaudeville partner with Jeffries, who
passed through the city yesterday. And
his assertion was backed up by Ed
ward Jeffries, brother of Jim. who
Is also on his way to New York to
meet the big fellow when he lands
from the steamer
THAT bout out West looks queer in
a good many ways" said Berger COM
menting on the Johnson X etchel fight
III was mistake to send ketchel
against man so much heavier than
himself, in the first place. 1t was lust
putting money in Johnson's pockets.
"Jetfries has written that the baths
at Carlsbad have done him a world of
good and that he is coming back here
feellng 80 per cent. better than when
he left Its only a question OF time
now before final arrangements are
made for the bout"
In case arrangements can be made
for go in the near future Berear
says Jeffries will probably drop any
vaudeville engagement he NAV have
peeh considering. He is expected to
remain few days in New York.

WITH PHIL McGOVERN

asgressiVeness, more than anything
else, Johnny Mayo of South Philadel-
phla earned six-round draw with
PM McGovern, brother of the once
Famous Terrible Terry" at the new
Philadelphia "A. c. Monday night.
In the second round McGovern
caught Mayo mapping and slipped a
nara right to the head 1t felled Mayo,
but the blow did not have sufficient
steam back of it to finish the tx. o.
and Mayo took the count of eight and
then arose. He went after McGoverr
like flash and with right and left
swings made Phil cover up until the
end of the round.
McGovern's only chance to get Mayo
was in the first two rounds. for after
that the little Italian used his speed
jabs to good advantage

~ WITH the baseball campaign
M of 1909 now only a memory,
wv fans are beginning to spec
ulate on what will happen
next season on the big circuits and
how the club presidents and managers
will solve the problems that are con-
fronting them. There is no rest 1or
the magnates these days, for they al
ways have to be peering into the fu-
ture and arranging for contingencies
that may arise.
The owners of the Philadelphia Ma
tional League Club want a new lead
er. They have a manager now in Billy
Murray, but since Bob Davis sold ms
stock in the Quaker organization 1t
looks as if William j. would have TO
step down and out. The Phillies, be-
sides being on the lookout for some
one to lead the team, are after new
players and it would not be surprising
to see some big trades pulled off which
would rid the Philadelphia club OF
many of it's rapidly fading stars.
The two presidents who will be able
to sit back and take things easy during
the off season are Barney Dreyfuss of
| IillSUuIS anu L etllh ANdf LII u DSSAoNS'
Their troubles will principally come
when the players contracts are sent
out Then there will be an overwhelm-
ing demand from Pirates and Tigers
fer large increases in salaries, and the
Holdout League will gain many tenn
porary recruits.
John Dovey of Boston will have to
put in q busy off season. His team IS
considered a joke everywhere, partic-
ularly in Boston, and it needs strength
ening. Unfortunately the Beaneaters
have no players the other teams want
and not enough cash to go out in the
highways and purchase star athletes.
Stanley Robison's problem in St.
Louis is how to get Roger Breshnahan
to curb his temper and keep the in
ventor of the shin-guards from spend
ing all the money the team made in
talent of low grade.
In Chicago Charles w. Murphy and
Charles A. Comiskey both will be busy.
The Demon Apologist, of course, will
be planning an attack on his confreres
in the National League and on UNI
pire William J. KLEIN The Old ROM
ans time will be occupied in supervis-
ing the erection of the new baseball
plant that will be the home Of the
White Stockings. Commy no longer
goes in for baseball politics, Murphy
representing Chicago in this respect.
The Cleveland magnates have their
work cut out for them. The Maps
looked mighty poor when the season
ended, and Somers and Kilfoyl hope,
with McGuire's assistance, to trans
form them into contenders for the Am
erican League flag. If the Cleveland
magnates did nothing else during the

IN THE WORLD OF SPORTS
Magnates and Managers Have
A Busy Winter Season Ahead.

off season than refuse offers for Larry
Laioie their time would be fully occu-
pied.
All in ALL the off season of 1909
promises to be a busy one for all per-
sons connected with the national pas
time.
The presidents of the three clubs OF
Greater New York-Frank Farrell,
John r. Brush and Charles H. Ebbets
all have their work cut out for item
during the alleged off season. The at
tendance on the Hilltop was SO large
this year that Farrell undoubtedly
will have to enlarge the seating capac-
ity of his park before next spring.
Brush will spend lots of time with
Manager McGraW, in all probability,
on the question of strengthening the
Giants by trades with other clubs and
also on the proposition of training IN
Texas again next spring. 1t is John
It's hope some day to have perma-
nent training ground for the LoWland
team in the South, and just as soon
as he learns from McGraw whether
Texas is the best place to locate Mr..
Brush will invest in some real estate
down that way.
The question of the Superbas' train
ing camp next spring is not worrying
Charley Ebbets at the immediate mo-
ment. The president of the Brooklyn
club is after a new manager and I'M
til he gets one will let the training
matter slide. The showing made by
Harry Lumley as a commander was
not good enough to continue him in
office, though the Judge has not as yet
rendered his resignation nor been Of
ficially fired. However, it is a GER
tainty that he is to resume his place
among the privates, just as Norman
Ilberfield had to do on the Highland
ers last spring.
Ebbets appointed Lumley as the
Brooklyn leader as an experiment and
because at the time the Judge looked
to be the best available man for the
position Charles H. now wants pi-
lot of more spirit than the once-noted
slugologist and is hot on the trail of
Johnny King, who, whatever happens,
never will play another game for
Charles w. Murphy. Cincinnati is also
hot after the renowned pool sharp, but
King is blocking the deal because he
does not want Murphy to make a ben
eficial trade. Johnny also may do
some blocking if Ebbets and Murphy
come to terms.
Failing to get King, Ebbets prob
ably will offer the management of the
Brooklyn club to "Wee William" Keel
er, who isn't all in as payer by any
means, but who probably would re-
ceive his release from the New York
American League club were Farrell to
learn that the little veteran had a
chance to advance in his profession.

HILL WANTS TO GET
NEW MEXICO COAL

washington, Feb, G.--James !. Hill
has issued orders to secure, so far az
possible, all Of the coal lands in New
Mexico that can be reached by either
the Colorado & Southern or Burling-
ton.
Inc plan now centcrs on the United
States supreme court and its decision
regarding the constitutionality of the
interstate commerce law, ordering all
interstate carriers to dispose of such
holdings as coal mines, iron mines and
similar enterprises by May I, 1909.
The United States circuit court in
Philadelphia several months ago de-
clared this law unconstitutional. The
government appealed TO the supreme
court, and decision is expected soon.
1t Is believed in Washington that
the supreme court will uphold the de-
cision of the circuit court so that rail-
roads can own mines. and that going
on this belief, Hill has issued his or
ders regarding the requirement Of coal
and iron lands in the West.
1t is said here that agents of Hill
are now in New Mexico securing coal
lands, and that rs soon as the proper
time comes either the Colorado &
Southern or the Burlington, as the
case may be, will be extended to these
properties

WILL LEXOW Arr.
IONA SECRETARY

Phoenix, Ariz., Feb. 6.--The legis.a-
ture has its eye on the secretary of
the territory and is doing its best to
keep Secretary Page and Assistant
Collins in hot water.
O'Neill, of Maricopa, introduced a
resolution into the council calling up
on the secretary and his assistant to
appear before the upper house with all
the books relating to the fees receive
ed by the Office and to answer any
questions put to them under oath.
This matter came up on the bill to di-
vert the insurance fees to the school
fund, which measure will probably
pass the council Monday.
Hampton suggested that instead of
having Mr.. Page and his assistant
appear in person, that they be called
upon to furnish an itemized state
ment of the fees for the past two
years, and committee appointed to
verify the statement from the books.
Day suggested that Page be asked to
furnish information concerning the
printing contracts. The resolution
was referred to the committee on en-.
crossed bills of which Mr.. Hampton
is chairman so that it is certain that
his suggestion will be adopted.

AGAINST KISSING
ON THE MOUTH

New York, Feb. 6.-Rev. John L.
Scudder, Jersey City, is widely known
as the minister who started a boxing
school for his Sunday school days,
taught women to kill thieves, defined
an angel as fond of corned beef and
able to climb fence, organized a
dancing class in his church on Bibli-
cal authority, proposed law limiting
poor people from having more than
two children, and stumped in politics.
What he has not done surpasses al
this. For 10! there is a new "un-
kissed" Five hundred twenty pretty
girls who attended meeting at which
he presided are discussing and, it is
feared, disclaiming the argument
which he set forth.
'No man should kiss a woman on
the lips" he said, nor should any
woman kiss a man on the lips. I nev-
er allow my wife to kiss me on the
lips; nor do kiss her there
The applause which usually follows
DR.. Scudder's original utterances was
not in evidence after this outburst.'

WILL PUNCH COWS
WITH AUTOMOBILES

Galveston, Tex, Feb. 6.-An order
for ten automobiles for the Ransom
and Wellsford cattle ranches of Mid
land and Crane counties was placed
today.
The purchase of the autos is not for
experimental purposes, for tests have
been made in the last six months and
it was merely a question of which
type of horseless vehicle would be
best adapted for the rough uses it will
be subjected to in the semi-annual
roundup of cattle. A special machine
suited to this work will be manufac'
tured.
Colonel Crowley, secretary of the
Cattle Raisers association, in describ-
ing the tests, said: "Cowboys can
drive through bunch Of a thousand
head of cattle in autos without even
disturbing steer. Some of the steers
may stop grazing and stare in Won
derment at he machine, but you cam
not stampede them with an auto. A
man on horseback can stampede a
bunch of steers quicker than light
ming.

house. Her brother has identified her
as Lizzie Fulhart, Is years old, of
Vandalia, Ohio, and her sweetheart,
Albert Wilkie, employed at a local

picion. He declares he is innocent.
The girl left home January 29 to
search for work and was to have re-
turned in few hours. She had been
enticed into the vacant house and
there murdered. If this murder oc-
cured on the Goth of January, it
followed that of Mary Forschner only
about a week and the police now fear
that both crimes were the work of a
moral pervert who is still at large.

Bent County Boosters-A delegation
Of Bent County Boosters has arrived to
take possession of the legislature, the
restaurants and the city. They arrived
Just in time to witness Representa-
tive Bushkevitz pushing the Bent
county bill through the House.
Among the boosters are: F. A..
Roy, president of the Roy Land
and Livestock Company, the Roy
Townsite Company and the Roy Trust
and Savings Bank: E. ]. Fl. Roy, CASH
ier of the Roy Bank; Herman Good
man, manager of the Floershelm

ion county; F. S. Brown, agent OF the
lei Paso and Southwestern Railway,
and business man at Roy; F. M.
Hughes. prosperous merchant at So
lano; Mr.. Upton, of Upton Brothers,
wealthy cattlemen of San Miguel
county. Representative Bushkevitz
chaperoned the party to the Claire
Hotel where they opened headquar-
ters. The Boosters, of course. feel
confident that the Bent county bill
will go through the Council. They in
sist that the new county is a logical
proposition, that it will have $4,000
1000 assessed property; that it will in
no way cripple San Miguel, Mora or
Union counties which contribute
small areas for the formation of the
proposed county. The new county is
Republican, but the Boosters threat
en- that unless their wish is granted
that Mora county will in the future
be Democratic. Roy precinct has
close to thousand voters. or almost
one-third of the total vote of Mora
county, and it is bound to cast the de-
Gliding vote in any future Mora coun-
ty election, unless it becomes part
of the new county The demand for
the creation of the county, so the
Boosters say, is general in the parts
affected by the proposed county di-
vision and no valid reason can be urg-
cd against the creation Of Bent coun-
ty.
