The Washington times., 1909-07-25

Just now good ne VIII be Wnen ne re-
enters the game remains TO be seen.
Even If he is the class this season he
has not a whole lot of baseball left in
MIN, and IL the Phillies gave Mcgee or
any other first-rate yOungster for Dom
lin they may ind they have been badly
stung-
It's a great game. Canullon is away
for day and Washington wins.
Hocray, that's the answer! Keep Can
tillon away and keep on winning!
ClnChi Next day Cantillon is stIil away
beatlngs OF the season! Be sure that
the ice Is packed ca both sides OF your
head!
Those fighters are still at it and the
public is becoming aweary. Jenries,
say all the E-sarps, has always been on
the level in announcing ne would night
Jack Johnson, and has proved it by
stating exactly what his intentions are.
That Is also vanity. ANY ham manager
in the country can sit down and IN
I'VE minutes tell you etghty-fiVe ways OF
having man not fight after he has said
he would fight. one Of the simplest and
most effective OS these systems Is to
break or negotiations because Of the
division of the purse. Signs of the
antiquated dOdSe are already appearing
around the corner Ia stories that Jeff

will want at least a months room rent
for his end of the spOils, and there you
are-the demands of the ScTappeTS may
be so great that no promoter could hope
TO make a profit out Of the show. hence
no fight, and the champion saves his
face In more ways than one. We are
not saying that this particular form
Of buncombe will be adopted. II is pos
sible that Jeffries is sincere in believing
that a man who has been alleged to be
fF-zf
can't box a few One-mtnute rounds
without being pumped out, is capable of
getting into condition, but we are still
convinced that JeffTies and Johnson will
never battle The story that Sam Ber-
ger has been overworking the press
agent gag and has gotten JEFF into a
false position by constantly reiterating
OF late that JEFF would nSht, sounds
about the way the New York experts
look at 1t, except such as thought
Leach Cross was the coming lightweight
champion. that Andy MCGarry was go
ing to be a real fighter. and that Young
COrbett could once more make the
lightweight !acit.
Having row thrown the hammer lS+
feet 4 inches, John Flanagan should
get in the Twin by trying TO throw II
across the English Channel
II would be a good idea for the Bal
timere police TO mingle in the fight
game in that city and eulighten some
OF the youngsters who are a nuisance
To public boxing. The raw work at the
F.utaw Athletic Club last Friday night
when Willie -T-S- was alleged by the
referee TO have fOuled Young Britt
and thereby lost a scrap after having
won it clearly, was entirely too much
for the good Of the sport. Young Britt
. is rapidly losing class by his actions
and needs reproof. He lost 10 Fighting
Dick Hyland in Baltimore recently on
a foul in a night that did not smell
sweet, to say the least, and now he is
mixed up in the singing Of Gilbert
besides which two fresh occurrences
he has other marks on his record that
are not creditable. The proper capeI
would be TO remain away when he is
Carded as the attraction, for It Is al
most a certainty that the clash win
come to an unsatisfactory conclusion.
