RED SOX LOSE LAKE
AS THEIR MANAGER

BOSTON. Mass. November 1T was
officially announced last night at the
American League headquarters that Man
ager Fred Lake, who has been directing
the affairs of the team for the past sea-
son. had severed his connection with the
Boston club. This news will come as a
distinct shock 10 hundreds of base ball
followers I'm and around the Hub, who
looked upon the Boston manager as a fix
ture.
For weeks rumors had been going the
rounds that there was to be shift on the
managerial end of the Red SoX. Lake, it
is reported. demanded an increase of sal
airy, and put his proposition up to Owner
Taylor. Just what the proposition was is
not known, but, at any rate. the matter
came to a definite head yesterday when
Manager Lake had a conference with the
owner of the Boston team, at the cOnclu-
sion of which the announcement was
made that Lake was depOsed as manager.
While il was not definitely announced.
it is reported on good authority that the
new manager of the Boston team will be
a man who is we'll known to the Boston
public, as well as base ball players and
followers in general. Pat Donovan, hith-
erto scout for the team, Is the man, I'M
less all dope is long way off.

SALToN CASE PETITION.
Development Company Prays for q
Writ From Supreme Court.

If the Supreme Court of the United
States grants the writ prayed for by the
California Development Company in the
case of that company against the New
Liverpool Salt Company il will review
the entire proceedings between these
corporations. The suit involves contro-
versy over the question of responsibility
for the overflow of the Colorado river
into the Salton sink in 1908 by which the
salt mines of the Liverpool Company
were badly damaged.
1t was claimed by the salt company
that the overflow had been due to care
lessness of the development company in
the construction of the headgates of its
irrigation bitches, and the United States
circuit court for the southern district of
California held such to be the case Civ
ing verdict for damages to the extent
of S456146. III development company
claims that the flood in the river was so
great that there would have been an
overflow regardless of its bitches, and
asks the SUI RENE Court to go into the
entire question.

PREPS VS.. CoLLEGIANS.
Georgetown and Fredericksburg
Teams to Clash on Gridiron.

At Fredericksburg. Va, tomorrow
afternoon. the Georgetown Props of this
city and Fredericksburg College Will
meet on the gridiron for the first time
an. the history of the two schools. The
game will also be unique because the
long trip will he the first the Props nave
taken in some years. The event IS
creating considerable interest in the
Virginia town and will probably be
witnessed by a large and enthusiastic
crowd.
Comparative scores place the con-
tending elevens on about equal terms.
The Hilltoppers are extremely conf
dent OF victory. although they realize
that their foe is not to he moderated.
Capt. Kerwin has worked his men
haSd since the Episcopal game and
believes that they are now in the best
pf condition. The leader has decided
10 enter the fray himself and play 1T
one of the tackles. His presence alone
will count for a great deal, since he is
conceded to be the best all-around pig
skin warrior in the interscholastic
ranks of the District
Fredericksburg will use the same
lineup that held Eastern to- such 4
close score last Saturday. Much is
being depended on the work of Weav-
er at right half. as the playing of this
lad has been such that he is considered
the strongest of the eleven. The men
all came out of the battle at Manas-
sas in tiptop condition and all are
anxious To go after the scalps OF the
Washingtonians.
The Blue and Gray Props will leave
this city at 1O o'clock tomorrow morn
ing and will return late in the even
ing While in Fredericksburg they
will be the guests of the college and
will be well cared for by the footDat Il

"SQUARE DEAL" FOR
BIG JACK JOHNSON

CHICAGO, November while this is
not the city in which the Johnson-Jeffries
fight was either arranged for or In which
II will be pulled Off yet 1t catches princi-
pals and promoters 'boht going and coming
and may therefore be a source OF some
gossip.
Yesterday Jack Gleason came to town,
and so. too. did Johnson. The pugilist
seemed overjoyed over his reception in
New York and said that never again
would he be guilty of the vain imagining
that the white man would be maliciously
prejudiced against him. The fight pro-
moter was more circumspect, though he.
too was on the sanguine side. He did not
meet johnson. Just as Coffroth did, he
went through to New York, where he will
remain until December ], when the sew
eral bids will be opened.
Johnson himself said that, while he
would go on the stage for some weeks,
the engagement viii be such that he will
be able to abandon 1t, just as will JEFF
fries should their acceptance OF q club

and a date December | make it necessary
or advisable. A world of difference there
is between Johnsons former and his pres
ent attitude toward a fight.
The negro has Quieted a wondrOus lot.
He believes still that he can win, but he
has had new view of the Undefeated
And 1t is fair TO say that II is one Which
he respects. Now that Johnson has de-
feated Ketchell he is in a position TO
claim. If he wins. that his title cannot
by any possibility be greater or bigger
than il is and il he loSes-well, that he
is but champion ruined by the mon
arch that. single handed. stood deilant
before all the world. Defeat by jeff is
not so terrorzing as would have been
defeat by the Michigander, and so the
big Smoke goes abroad with grin
that betokens complacency toward all
the world. He has chance to win every
thing if he wins. If he loses he stlli
wins a substantial something.
Jack Gleason, who will be in New York
today, doesn't propose to have his hand
disclosed until the opening of the bids on
December 1 next actually compels it. He
considers it as good settled that the
battle will go to California, and that his
only rival will be Jimmy Coffroth. He
just smiled when he learned of the $50
600 offer of the Miller brothers of he
1O1 ranch. and said he would be content
ed IL he just could top Jimmy CoffrOth.
He brings with him plans for an arena
just on the outskirts of San Francisco.
in which he hopes to stage the contest.
and which will have seating capacity OF
10000 persons.
According to the articles of agree
ment for the contest said Gleason, 1.-The
men will fight forty-five or more rounds.
The laws of San Francisco permit only
twenty-round bouts and ii viii be neceS-
sary to stage the battle outside of the
county. Therefore, | have planned 10

New York December l..
1t is understood that Gleason and Sam
Berger. Jeffries manager are very
friendly In fact they are closely asso-
ciated i'm San Francisco. and, therefore.
1t Is thought that Berger may be In
clined to view favorably any reasonable
Gleason offers. Gleason said
he would remain in New York until the
bids for the battle were made and that
he would meet any demand to land the
pugiistic plum of the century.
When Coffroth was in Chicago last
week on his way east he said that the
only rival bidder that he feared was
Gleason But he declared that he was in
a position to outbid him, and promised
bitter fight to land the contest.

Just when Manager McAleer and one

probably pull out Friday or Saturday.
Mac favors Georgia as a training ground,
