1t was not until nearly 2 o'clock in

SO late was the start of the Grand

to finish even one round, although
some of the shooters had started on
their second when they stopped FIR

They were divided into ninety-two

It WON'T Be
HELD HERE IN
HAMMOND
Says the Chicago Tribune:

says the chicago Tribune:
IF present plans materialize Chicago
fight fans will have chance to see
a real fight, something for which they
have been hungering since the game
closed here. This battle will not be
a championship affair, but it comes so
close to it that there is no joke about
it. The men who will meet if terms
can be arranged are Packey Mcfarland
and Cyclone" Johnny" Thompson of
Sycamore
The fight will take place not far
from Chicago, and within easy reaching
distance. The promoters of the club
which will offer purse for these two
fighters want the battle to take place
on the afternoon of July in an open
air arena. 1t would be a ten-round
clash. They say the fight will take
place at Hammond, Ind, but some
other people think it will take place
at West Hammond. However. this
doesn't make much difference, so long
as a successful arrangement of the
match goes through.
The Columbia Athletic club which
will stage the affair, has appointed
Kid" Howard of Chicago as match
the fighters to come to terms. Howard
was in Hammond yesterday, return
ing here last night. He said the size
of the purse was big enough to at
tract the two Iightweights, and ex-
pected to be able to sign up the men
ct once.
Howard made an appointment with
Thompson for today, but failed to get
in communication with Mcfarland, who
at last reports, was sojourning in Dav-

HEAT MARS THE
ROWING PRACTICE
Yale and Harvard Crews Do
Little Work.

Gales Ferry, Conn. June 25.-Yale
oarsmen omitted morning practice to-
day because of the heat and this even
ing limited their rowing to less than a
total of three miles, taken at a slow
gait upstream above the quarters The
freshmen and varsity Fights together
worked out together at a twenty-six
stroke to the minute. There were no
changes in any boat. Julian w Curtiss,
Yale's rowing advisor arrived tonight
and will remain at the quarters till aft
er the regatta. Daniel Moon of Mime
apolis, a former freshman captain, is
also a guest at the quarters.
Coach Kennedy Of the Yale crews is
keenly disappointed at the continued
hot wave. He wished to speed the var
sity eight over the course three times
this week. but has been baked. He
fears that the weather will prevent his

Saturday for the final time row of the
season.
Red Top, Conn, June 24.-AlI of Har-
wards crews were sent up on the
Thames for the lightest kind of morn
ing and evening work for fear of heat
prostration. Wray coached from his
single scull and was used up worse
than any of the oarsmen in the shells

NEGROES START
FIGHTING CLUB
Only Colored Scrappers for
Memphis Ring.

Memphis, Tenn. June 25.-What is
believed to be the only club of its kind
in the world, composed of negroes and
backed by colored capital. has been or
ganized here and will enter the fight
ing field under the wide laws just
passed legahzing eight round bouts.
None but colored principals will be
matched.
An effort will be made to have two
black men-Sam Langford and Jack
Johnson-hght for the worlds cham
pionship. Estimates place the negro
population in the vicinity at 100 900. and
promoters do not anticipate a lack of
patronage. George Hopkins is presi-
dent, John Griffin treasurer, and Polo
Steel matchmaker.
White people will be barred except
as spectators. The new club will be
known as Dixie and is chartered under
the state laws.

TeIlsAbout Ghosts

Lombroso is one of the leading
scientists Of Europe, an expert in
criminology and psychology.
Some years ago he made light
of the idea of "ghosts and
psychic research. A prominent
Italian professor challenged him
to investigate, and Lombroso
accepted. Since then he has
studied ghosts with the same
care and precision which won him
fame in Analysing criminals. His
principal subject has been the
world famous medium, Eusapia
Paladino. He has investigated
her feats of levitation-of mate
rialization-all the phenomena.
The results are marvellous.
He has written out his report
carefully and it is by all odds the
most authoritative article on
psychic research ever printed.

to keep his identity secret, but an old timer who happened to be on the nine gave the secret away. He was at | tracted by the playing of an outfielder and decided that he was the man he was after But he did not mention the fact. There was an inhelder on the team, who was in the habit of pulling off star plays, and the skirmisher asked the manager for his price on him. The reply mentioned such sum that the scout almost fainted. Finally after haggling and dickering for cou- pie of hours, he agreed to take the player and give him a trial, with the proviso that if he makes good he was to pay 5000 for him. The scout knew well enough that the man would never make big league, but this was only part of his game. When he went to the station, bound for his next stoppinS place, the manager and the infelder were with him. As the train was pull ing in, he fshed a roll of bills from his pocket, turned to his companion, and said: By the way. I want an out fielder. I'll give you $500 cash for that chap you had out in center" You can have him." came the reply, and the manager, well satisfied, tucked the money into his pocket and waved the pair goodbye. Some two weeks later the infielder returned to his old stamp ing ground, while the other chap, pur- chased very cheaply. Is now one of the greatest stars in the game. And so 1t goes. It Is always a case of dicker and outwit.
 Then there is another point to be considered. If a man who Is on the road picks out a number of men and not one of them shows sufficient class he has put his club to great expense all for nothing. Say, for instance, he Is on the coast and sends a player to one of the big teams in the eastern leagues The youngster will cost several thous- and dollars while the expense of transportation, etc, will amount up to no inconsiderable figure. Half a dozen or so bad slips like this will sound the knell of a scouts life. Still, If he can land good man, he gets all the credit In the world Where ballplayers are so plenty-that Is lly-it fs strange that so few of them can get a hold with the big fellows. The aver
The Birmingham age-herald., 1909-08-02

No small part of the success of one of the big league teams depends on the ability of its scouts, that is, the men who go all over the country look ing out for likely material. No town or league too small for these watchers to visit. For, as is well known, many a star ballplayer has been picked up in some town that had never been heard of and come into fame only through the baseball ability of it's son.
 There are many interesting little tales connected with the discoveries of great ballplayers. Hans Wagner was signed up as a pitcher on one of the bush league aggregations, and seemed doomed to go back to the uninterest- ing and quiet life of the country vll- lage until his wise manager tn ought that perhaps he might be able to play somewhere else, so gave him a tryout. And Hans has been famous ever since. Larry Lajoie. Jimmy Collins, in fact, nearly all the great ones. have been landed by some worthy scout, whom chance or fate brought to the village where these embryonic stars were as- founding their fellow citizens.
 To one not acquainted with the life, the work of a scout must look very easy and pleasant. It would seem that travelling about the country, watching ball games, with all expenses paid was a very desirable sort of a life. But in really it's not as fine as 1t looks After a while 1t gets very monotonous jump ing from one little town ito another, putting up with all kinds of hotel ac- commodations, spending the greater part of your time on hot stuffy trains, or arguing with avaricious minor league managers One meets some man agers that would almost drive him crazy. They hear that a big league sout is in town and immediately the prices on their men soar skyward. It is only by the use of much diplomacy and tact that one can obtain the player he wishes from some of these fellows. Here is a good instance In little town in the far west, a scout arrived and for a couple of days watched the work of the team there. He endeavored

KILLS MAN WHO

New Orleans, August 1.-william King, who telephoned officers that he had killed Michael Conrad late last night and was awaiting arrest at Sout.l Point several miles out of New Or leans. declined tonight, following his Imprisonment here, to make any state ment concerning the shooting, other than to declare that he was justified.
 It was learned from neighbors tn at the trouble which led to the tragedy occurred several weeks ago when King accused Conrad of stealing his fishing bait. Subsequent occurrences, inten- sified the i'll feeling between the two. Conrad son of a police sergeant of New Orleans, is said to have main tained that he had been persecuted by the residents of the South Point neigh borhood. On the other hand. it is al legged that Conrad had assumed a dic- tatorial attitude as to his fishing rights in certain waters of Lake Pdnchartrain. train,
