SUGGESTS LOCAL SUPPORT
FOR HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETICS

The Canon City High school is ad-
opting a new plan in its athletics.
During the first semester of the year
this plan will be tried.
Under the usual regime, the school
is burdened to properly support its
athletic interests. The town which
have high schools are quite distant
and the cost of bringing teams here
is very great One unfavorable day,
one game poorly attended, means loss
and debt, and long struggle to bal
ance accounts. The Athletic associa-
tion wishes to conduct athletics in
such a manner that no deficit will oc-
cur. and so that the games will be
a pleasure rather than a burden.
The plan is to have home games.
The money received for the games
will go towards making more eff
Client our own athletic apparatus. No
great risk will be undertaken, and
loss is almost impossible. Moreover
the number who can compete In class
games far exceeds the number that
can hope to make first team, and
in this way athletics becomes demo-
cratic rather than arlstrocratic. I'm
less our athletics reaches many, It
parts of its purpose in the school.
We are depending on our towns
people to support us in the new ven

REIDY IS BOOSTED.
Former University of Alabama Athlete
 VIII Be Great Star.

Concerning Jack Reidy, former student of the University of Alabama, who Is now doing finely in Chattanooga, the Chattanooga News quotes Jim Fox, Co., lumbus' manager, as follows:
 This Jack Reidy looks like a coming player" said Jim Fox yesterday when discussing the strength of the outfielders of the South Atlantic league.
 why, one day down at Columbus Rtckert was put out of the game, and Reidy went to left field. We were hit ting good that day, and our right-hand hitters sent line drive after line drive to left. But there was Rsidy. First he was down behind short then over to- ward center, then back against the fence and then over on the foul line. He caught them coming and going. in front of him and behind him, and we never had a chance.
 T look for him to pick up in his hit ting with another years experience, and then he will be one of tho most valuable mon in any minor league. He is certain ly fine man to go with Dobbs and Rick 0rt.

JEFFRIES SAYS HE
 WILL FIGHT JOHNSON

Toronto, July 14--When informed of the statement of Jack Johnson, made in Chi cago, that he would post forfeit of s10,0O0 for a fight with Jeffries, Jeffries, who Is in Toronto, said he had no com ment to make, except that he would be ready to fight the negro at the appoint ed time. Sam Berger who Is Jeffries' manager, as well as his sparring part ner, said that Johnson would probably not be on hand when they reached Chi cago.
 Jeffries Is very much annoyed at the statement that he does not intend to fight Johnson.
 "I'll fight him. he said, land 1t won't be any Tommy Burns that he'll find in the ring. Burns a champion! Well, he was a good fast little boxer, but no match for big man. He was only a middle-weight and think know several in that class who would beat Tommy. Burns only had one hand. He could not punch with his right if you paid him for it. To be a fighter you must have two hands.
 ''Who is the champion? Well, I can't be blamed for claiming the title. I won the championship from all corners and my four years retirement was due to the fact that there was nobody to fight.
 That was a fake story that I gave the title to Marvin Hart when I retired from the ring. It's absurd on the face of it. How could I pick my successor? |? By what right would be the judge of the next best fighter? I could not give the title. even If I wanted to, and what s more, I did not. The story was spread broadcast at the time under flaring head lines. and my denial was printed in small type in an obscure corner.
 However, I am here, ready to again do business at the old stand. You can see for yourself what condition I'm in. am as hard as nails. Feel that arm and those leg muscles and my back. Any waste tissues there? Not much fat in sight, eh? Well, I weigh 235 pounds now. My fighting weight? I don't know myself but 1t won't be much less this | time. I've taken off 46 pounds since I started training. I hurt my left hand a | month ago, but it's all right again."

Washington, July 14.-The conces- sion recently granted by the Mexican government to a company of horse race promoters in California for the estab- lishment of a race course at Tia Juana, a village in lower California, near the southern boundary of California and within a short distance of the city of San Diego, probably will be rescinded.
 When the granting of the concession became known the people of San Diego protested in strong terms to the state department.
 Petitions came to the state depart ment from the officers of the city gov ernment, churches and a number of societies and citizens generally urging prompt action, with the result that the state department recently communi- cated to President Diaz through the ambassador the views of the citizens of southern California.
 The state department has strong hopes that Its request will be promptly com piled with.

Birmingham dropped a doubleheader yesterday afternoon to Nashville, and as a result are more firmly entrenched in the cellar than before
 The first game was tossed away when Robinson, attempting play to the plate, threw wildly, letting in two runs. Both he and Perdue wer in excellent form.
 The second game was decided by Umpire Rudderham After Molesworth had crossed the plate he declined to let the run count, claiming that the side was retired before the tally was registered.
 This decision enraged the fans and the players. The fans threw bottles and cushions, and Gygi was put out of the game Later on Molesworth was put out of the game and ordered from the park.
 The Barons were exceedingly sore and proceeded to toss away the game. Tonne man was allowed to hit safely, and Schopp threw wildly to first on the bunt which followed Tonneman finally scored on a fly to Molesworth, although it was claimed that he left third before the ball was bagged. The sphere was whipped to Raftis, but Rudderham solemnly shook his head.
 The pitching yesterday was about even. Perdue and Robinson were both very strong. Schopp and Yiebahn could be hit to no advantage.
 The splendid fielding of Butler featured the doubleheader. McGilvray took two exceedingly difficult flies, one with single hand against the fence. Henline made a splendid throw to the plate in the first, nabbing Bay.

EDITED BY HUGH W. ROBERTS
DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAY THAT DECIDED THE SECOND GAME AND ENLARGED THE FANS AND PLAYERS.

After the game it looked a little squa1ly.
 The fans were sore, and their tossing of bottles and cushions was ominous.
 But Johnny Collins rushed to Rud- derham's side and the two walked to the booth prepared for the arbiter of play. There Chief of Police Bodeker stood on guard. The umpire and Col lins, having entered the compartment closed the door. Chief Bodeker. after detailing two men to remain near the umpire, departed
 This Is the play which caused the fans to wax warmly:
 With the score tied, the bases full and one out, Raub hit to deep center; as soon as the ball was caught Moles- worth started ito the plate and Raftis to third; Molesworth crossed the plate safely, but Raftis was out at third
 It is not believed there is even technical detail which will support Rudderham in his decision, unless the umpire based his ruling on his belief that Raftis was out before Molesworth crossed the plate.
 If the decision was based on this ground, then Rudderham was in error, this being due, it is probable. to the in ability of a man to see in different directions at the same time. Rudder- ham was watching closely the play from Siegel and Moves and did not have his eyes on Molesworth.
 If Rudderham based his decision on the idea that double play was in oper- ation while Molesworth was scoring, he is in error again. It was not a forced" double. Raftis was not re- quired to advance to third. In fact, in attempting the advance. he made a grievous error in judgment. Had he remained firmly anch ored on second Molesworth's run would have counted, and Birmingham would have won the game.
 This play of Raftis and the decision of the umpire cost Birmingham a game. Schopp and all the others lost their temper, and did not play in the seventh as they would have done other wise. Schopp tossed them over to Ton neman and then threw wildly to first on Buffers bunt.
 This error, by the way, made the winning run possible. Had Butler been retired, Molesworth's catch of Viebeahn'a fly would have closed the round.
