FANCY FLIGHT

COLLEGE PLACE, Md, Nov. q
After Lieutenant Lakm had broken
the record today by remaining in tie
air So IL minutes. longer than any
other pupil of the Wright brothers III
this country, proceedings were closed
by a brilliant flight of two minutes
by Wilbur Wright, during which he
made such steep ascents that many
of the spectators feared the machine
was about to turn turtle.
Late in the day a persistent wind
delayed flights and it was almost
dark when Mr.. Wright undertook to
carry Lieutenant Commander Sweet
on an air voyage. Mr.. Sweet, tipping
the scales at 1876 pounds, proved
lit e TOO much for the machine.
Determined not to disappoint the
asselablage, Mr.. Wright took the BIZ
plane into the air alone, rapidly rising
to a height of IS feet, making short
turns aid lowering or increasing MS
elevation IN a manner not before seen
here.

Now there is team in every little
spot on the map, and more than most
of them are able to support a semi
pro. battery. All through Eastern
Canada baseball is fighting for favor
with lacrosse, the Canadian national
game, and is gaining ground every
day. The two teams in the eastern
league are doing SO well there from a
financial point of view that several
other places are now clamoring for
entrance. Hamilton and Ottawa have
both asked for a franchise in the east
Montreal, and as there is no chance
for them, steps are being taken to or
ganiZe a new minor league for Onta-
rio cities, to include such burgs as
Hamilton, ottawa, Berlin, Brantford,
London and Woodstock. Down in
the maritime provinces baseball is al
so on the boom and there are no less
than three semi-pro leagues, with all
kinds of amateur variety. In the mid
die west there is the Twilight league,
a reorganization of the old Northern
league, and the Alberta league.
With q circuit extending from Win
nipeg to the Rockies, the proposition
for baseball did not look like a good
ono I1r{ thn frcyf Of &c
tory, was a pretty fair one. A splen-
did class of baseball was furnished
and the fans were delighted 1t should
prove a first class pasture for the
Northwestern, and the only man who
was sent there from Vancouver this
year, Wally Smith, came back great
ly improved.
OF the progress that Vancouver has
made here in this league little need be
said. On point of attendance it is one
of the very best tow..s on the circuit,
and there can be little complaint about
lack of support. The latest rumor
around here now is that Victoria is
getting jealous over the way the game
has caught on here ard will shortly
ask for a franchise.
The organization f an Island
league in the neighborhood of the
capital is regarded aa a certainty in
any case. Already there are several
will not be long before some of the
small leagues in the interior, and it
will not be long before some of the
enterprising towns on the Canadian
side of the mountain border are ap-
plying for entrance into the Inter-
new professional league to cover their
territory.

both Johnson and Jeffries would pre-
fer to fight before my Colma institu
ton.
1.-The twenty round clubs of San
Francisco proper won't be in on it, for
two reasons. They have been practic
ally eliminated by the contestants who
signified a desire to travel a distance.
And then change of city administra-
ton is to follow Tuesdays election. So
that all bids coming from them sound
fool-hardy.

other fellow to go you one dollar bet
ter. That's what l am laying back
for. All things being equal, the men
will favor my handling the great at
traction
Joe Humphreys was at the confer
ence Friday and took a lively interest
in all the arrangements for the fight.
Joe said afterward that he was present
in the interests of people who intended
to try for the fight. Joe would not di-
yulge the names and had nothing to
say when asked if Sam Harris was the
dark horse.
Jeffries missed his daily grind at
Cooper's gym Saturday. Evidently the
big fellow wanted a breathing spell af-
ter the long talked of meeting with
Johnson. The latter went to Long ISL
and in his racing car to watch the Van
derbilt cup race. Lii Ar'tah" was
rather startled at the speed with which
the drivers sent their powerful cars
along. Johnson went to Chicago yes

NEW YORK, Nov. Jimmy Coff-
roth, the San Francisco fight promoter,
said the other day that he was not 60
ing to bid on the Jeffries johnson fight
until the last hour or November so.
James stated his position in this fash
ion:
Il haven't given the thing a thought
never until the men had planted their
signatures to some sort of an agree
ment OF course, l will say that L fig
ured a little with pencil and paper on
the train east. The men demand that
bids be in by December 1 and that
the bidders hand in their figures in
person That will keep me in New
York a month, but l will be there when
the time comes. l will make a General
Sherman finish and l won't be outbid
Il have not, and l suppose that the
fighters have not, paid a particle of
attention to the bids that have already
been announced. Any man who an
nounced a bid before the men signed
was doing so simply for advertising
purposes. Los Angeles won't bother
US, no matter what McCarey offers. A
guarantee of 80 per cent from him
wouldn't be as good as so per cent
from my club.
1.-The man who will give me run
for the honor of staging that fight will
be Jack Gleason, of San Francisco.
Jack and Berger are one. They were
partners in a fight club and are still
close friends Gleason intends to build
an arena at Ocean View, outside the
city limits, just as my club is situated
Berger will naturally pull every wire
from the Jeffries end to place that hght
in front of Gleason. Despite that, from

CHANGES IMMINENT
IN VANCOUVER TEAM

VANCOUVER, 3. c Nov. o-,rhe
first hint of discord in the Vancouver
baseball camp has arisen over the
naming of the first board "f dir. c. ors
Just before Manager Dickson left for
his home in Waterville, Wash, he
named a number of local gentlem IN as
members of the first board They
were Mayor c. S. Douglas j. j. Ban
field, c. E. Laing, c. j. Loewan, Harry
A. Bourne, E. d. Deacon and Alderman
j. B. Campbell. All are well-known
supporters of the American nationai
game and they certainly have enough
money among them to see the Van
couver team through to a top-ru
finish, but since their appointment the
question of a satisfactory operation of
casioned a good deal of discussion
Most baseball men say that to have
any kind of successful team the en-
tire control of things should be vested
in one man. Companies and associa-
tons are nearly always tight wadded
when it comes to putting out the cash
to scare UP classy team, and it is
feared that the same thing will prevail
here.
AT present there does not appear to
be any great likelihood of it, as all
these gentlemen have promised a
hearty support. and the, way the sub
scriptions for the stock of the Vancou-
yer Amusement association, as it is
called. have come in promises very
we'll for the financial success of the
undertaking. But still there is that
lurking suspicion that when the time
comes to stretch the sinewes of war
just a little more ehere may be a big
kick.
Knockers have already predicted
such an outcome, and some of them
have gone so far as to say that the
association will not be able to exist
unless there is one man at the head
of it with most of the stock and all the
authority They point to Dugdale and
the Mercedes as successful examples
of the ball magnate who owns most of
the club and has the big say. 1t is
sure enough that where every one in
| town owns about a two-spot's worth of
stock. every one will want to have
| dozen times that much to say in how
| the Vancouver club is to be handled
in 1910. With. everybody handing out

'Then there was the Rubin fight L
refereed that, too. Rubin nearly had
Fitz at first If Gus had known more
he might have won. But foxy old
Fitz was lust stringing him along.
Pretty soon he wallope6 Gus in the
middle and nearly broke him in two.
For two hours after the fight Rubin
was a raving maniac out in the dress
inc room. l don't know whether 1t
was the knockout punch or some OF
the others, but he was nearly croaked.
You couldn't have dragged Gus into a
RING with Fitz after that with mil
lion dollar bonus. And Gus likes money
as much as anybody.

the advice and nobody handing out
the cash, Mr. Dickson will have the
time of his life.
Dickson May Not Stay.
Some of the prophets are predicting
though that no matter who it is that
runs up against this proposition it will
not be the present manager. The rec
ord he made during the season just
past and gone has not done great
deal to inspire the wholesome support
and confidence of the rOoters and sew
eral prominent baseballers have gone
so far as to say that the boy manager
from Waterville will never again be
the big light
Until the first board takes some ac-
ton in signing up a manager for the
coming year, nothing more can be
done in the way of hunting up new
players. Since the papers furnished
the list of the new men for Vancouver
last week not a single name has been
Mr.. Dickson stated that he would not
go after any more men until the board
took some action in reference to Sc
curing the manager If he is chosen he
purposes to go east at once after more
new blood and he promises that there
will be something in the air when he
comes back. He is after two big league
men now but can do nothing until the
manager question is settled Mayor
Douglas, one of the leading spirits in
the organization, recently said that he
would certainly be in favor of giving
Manager Dickson another chance. He
admitted that the showing this year
was not what it ought to be but
thought that there was a good deal.
AS one of the heavy financial hackers
of the association he made the state
ment that he desired to set at rest any
idea that the ball team was to run on
the cheap. On the contrary, no ex-
pense would be spared to raise a nine
of topnotchers, and Vancouver was
out to win or know the reason why.
Baseball Flourishing in Canada.
The success of baseball in Vancou-
yer since this city entered the north
western is but typical of the way that
the game has caught on all over Can
ada. A few years ago. not more than
| a dozen, and it was only in the larger
cities that the national spirit of "our
American cousins" was ever played.

DO you remember what a big bear
he was" went on Charles, sitting down
in an easy chair to give his mind a
rest Big rough fellow, just 81. That
is why Jeffries can get back into the
game now and fight like a champion.
He didn't start too young and leave
all his vitality on the road when he
was IS or L or IS years old.
He was OF age when he began and
he was a man grown. He had all his
strength and stamina and the training
didn't take anything out of him. Lots
Of these fighters start when they are
about Is. They dry out all their vi
tally in training and when they are
- they are all in. All the fellows that

when they would have had him a
champion in this country. He developed
slowly.
