MEDlCS POSTPONE GAME.
Battle Scheduled for Last Evening
Will Be Played at Later Date.

The basket ball game scheduled be-
tween the Baltimore Medics and George
town University which was to have been
played at Baltimore last evening was
postponed until a later date by the two
managers. It Is probable that the two
teams will open their season now in
Washington, as it was agreed at the time
Of the shifting of dates to play the game
in this city. Georgetown has already Sc
cured the Odd Fellows Hall for the con-
test, and as soon as definite word is at
hand about the future date announce
ment will be made.
1t is likely that most of the local games
on the Blue and Gray schedule will be
played in Odd Fellows Hall this winter
as the situation is an ideal one for a
game of this sort. Then. too, the floor Is
suitable for dancing, and as the games
this year will all be followed by informal
hops this presents an additional advan-
tage.
The Georgetown quint will practice in
Ryan gymnasium this morning against
a team composed of some Of the speediest
amateur players in the city. 1t is the
intention of Coach Joyce to keep his
charges working continuously. and hence
he is endeavoring to give them worthy
foes in their practice battles. Because
of the great interest being manifested
in the team throughout the city 1t is
probable that this mornings practice will
be witnessed by fairly large crowd.

Brown defeated the Carlisle Indians on

sensational plays, not the least Of which
was a run for the entire length Of the

JOHNSON TRIES TO
BE A "GENTLEMAN''

Fight fans who take keen delight in
reading of Jack Johnson's 10y rides"
and frequent arrests for breaking speed
limits often wonder how it is that he, a
colored pugilist, is never barred from
swell hotels. as has been the fate of Bat
Ting Nelson and Jack O'Bren, white
fighters. says the Chicago Record-Herald.
The answer is that Johnson knows his
place. He knows the prejudice that ex-
lists in many quarters concerning the
black man. Outside of that he knows
that many exclusive hostelries do not
care for the patronage of prize fighters
Therefore, he never puts himself in the
way of trouble. He never seeks accom-
modations at these hotels, and is, there
fore, never turned down.
When he travels he makes it a point
to ride on the best and fastest trains,
but seldom shows himself to the passen-
gers. Reservations are usually made
through his manager, and he takes a
staterOom or drawing room to himself.
There he is served with his meals, and
it goes without saying that he receives
every attention possible from the BEAM
ing and adniring porters and colored
walters.
At stations where stops of five or ten
quietly steps out to the platform to
stretch his elongated limbs. and just as
goes back to his apart
ment.
When staying in Chicago the fighter
seeks quarters in the home OF some we'll
to-do black brother in the black belt"
He seldom invades the downtown dis
trict and can only be found in places
where he is assured of welcome.
He never makes himself conspicuous,
and when in the presence of white men
he conducts himself in a most unassum-
ing manner.
Prize fighting, like politics, makes.
queer bedfellows at times, and by stay
ing in his place" Johnson Is warmly well
coined by all with whom he comes in
contact.
He prides himself upon being a gem
tleman," and boasts that he has always
acted in a manner to which no one might
take exception.

ATLANTIC MEETING.
Chattanooga Franchise Turned Back
to the League.

AUGUSTA, Ca, November 2O.-The
Chattanooga franchise was rendered the
South Atlantic League today and official
ly accepted, the owners of the club form
ally surrendering all of their rights to
the franchise.
The league meeting of the South At
lantic clubs was held here for the pur-
pose of outlining plans for next year.
The first business to come before them
was the Chattanooga proposition. which
had been submitted by mail. Mr.. o. B.
Andrews, president of the Chattanooga
club. had a proposition to put before the
league, allowing him to get out of the
South Atlantic League and into the
Southern without it costing him one cent
This the league positively declined to ac-
cept, and if Andrews disposes Of his
franchise and takes on Southern
League club he will have to pay the
days in which to make the deal, or
committee from the league will go to
Chattanooga and sell the franchise to
other parties
The question of the election of a pres
ident also came up, and quite a surprise
was sprung when the name of former
President c. w. Boyer of Hagerstown,
supported by Augusta, Savannah and
Columbia, and for time it looked like
he would be elected, but the election
was postponed for week, when the di-
rectors of the league will meet here and
elect a head of the league. The only
other person mentioned in connection
with the place was Capt. w. r. Joyner
of Atlanta.
The salary limit was fixed at 1000
and the player limit at thirteen.
The meeting was in session all day and
until nearly 10 o'clock tonight.

BALTIMORE, Md, November 70, 1903.
In a game replete with fumbles and
loose plays, Johns Hopkins University de-
feated st. Johns of Annapolis today at
Homewood Field by the score of Is 10 U.
Two touchdowns, with goals, and TWO
field goals Melted the victors their score
crowd of 10000 foot ball enthusiasts
witnessed the game. Hopkins rooters
were accompanied by the Fifth Regiment
Band and the ST. Johns team brought
with them the United States Naval
Academy Band.
In the first half, st. Johns kicked OF
over Hopkins goal line and Hopkins
elected to rush from their 10
yard line. A series of short end PUSHES
and tumble gave Hopkins possession of
the ball on st. Johns 3O-yard line.
where Stolenwerck tried for an easy
field goal and missed. Seven minutes
later Hopkins again worked the ball
to ST. Johns 1-yard line. but failed To
get through the cadets desperate de-
tense.

on ST. Johns part. coupled with bad
fumbling. Hopkins held for downs and
Fulton carried the ball to the cadets

touchdown and Fulton kicked goal.
During the eight more minutes of play
Stollenwerck succeeded in kicking field
goal from the 3O-yard line. making
the score for the first half, Hopkins U,
st. Johns 0.
In the second half, Hopkins resorted to
straight foot ball and managed to ger
through st. Johns line for substantial
gains, despite the really desperate de-
Tense of the cadets. Failing to make a
touchdown, Stollenwerck dropped the pan
squarely between the goal posts for three
more points. Twelve minutes later Mills
went over for the second touchdown ana
Fulton kicked goal. Score, Hopkins 49,

St. Johns made first downs and threat
ened Hopkins goal repeatedly in the
first half, but lost the ball on fumbles
and hopeless forward passes. HOPKINS

advantage of its weight-an average OF
eighteen pounds to the man heavier than

Nelson and Cans Have Pulled Down
Largest Purse to Date.

NEW YORK, November 20.-A fortune
in one punch. There isn't any doubt that
the winner of the Jeffries-Johnson fight
will establish a new record in the amount
of money won in a single encounter In
the ring. The fighting game is the most
lucrative vocation in the world. Joe
Cans went to Fort Erie. stepped into the
ring with Frank Erne, shot out his right.
and right there was created new light
weight champion. That one punch Melted
Cans at least 100000 worth Of engage
ments.
Although never officially given out, it
is said that the gate receipts for the fight
between Jack johnson and Tommy Burns,
pulled off by Hugh Mcintosh, the famous
Australian promoter, at Sydney last De-
cember, amounted to considerably over
500, 900. So it would not in the least
surprise the club mana gers of this coun-
try If some one should be compelled to
offer more than 100000 for the Johnson
Jeffries contest in this country. In fact,
a we'll known Frisco promoter is willing
to give that much, If not more. for the
battle, which will undoubtedly break all
records in this country for attendance.
This will be the fifth contest in which
jeff engaged that broke the record. When
he whipped Tom Sharkey in New York
the Coney Island Club announced that
the gate receipts totaled SCI. 600. of which
the fighters received over $4,000. The
Jeffries- Corbett battle in San Francisco
drew a NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. house,
and their contest in New York city also
drew big house. The Jeffries- FitZsim
mons fight for the worlds championship
also drew heavily, the receipts being
$50. 900. Although in no way official, the
following table of big purses received by
the fighters will be found interesting by
the fight fans:

AMERICAN RACERS
ON FOREIGN TRACKS.
Winnings of Horses and Sires
in England for the
Past Season.

American horses have played an impor-
tant part on the English turf this year,
aud perhaps the change of climate pre-
vented them from doing better. In all
there were slXty-three individual winners
for total OF ninety-eight races, worth
SioSEa, fortytwo of these are two
year olds. and no doubt number of the
latter viii cut a good figure in next years
classics. To go by public form, the best
OF the lot are the two-year-olds Whisk
Broom and the Sallie of Navarro colt. A
little more than a month ago Whisk
Broom was rated among the leading
youngsters. but in the Dewhurst plate
Lemberg gave him five younds and
five-length beating, the result being that
the American colt lost caste to a consider
able extent for the time being. In spite
of Sir Martins display, the English crit
les are inclined to place the three-y year
old filly Mediant as the best Yankee or
that age She is owned by H. b. Dur
yea, and the style in which she won the
Stewards cup at Goodwood and the
Champion sprint at Hurst Park impressed
the BritiShers that she is q mare or ex-
ceptional ability. According to the wise
ones, she is a Splinter pure and simple,
the range of her distance being about six
furlopgs; but it is limited that another
year on English soil will bring her out
to better advantage When Ballot ap-
peared abroad he was rated as the best
of the invaders, but as he failed to main
tain his American form the judges of
form have little or nothing to say about
him.
The three owners to figure prominently
were August Belmont, James r. keene
and Harry Payne Whitney, the latter
scoring the most success for the Stars
and Stripes. He had a big string trained
by A. ]. Joyner at Balaton Lodge, New
market and out of the lot the Whitney
colors captured thirty races for a total
of $685. There, wer seventeen individ-
ual winners, the majority being two-year-
ODDS Whisk Broom Is regarded as the
topnotcher, and it Is pity that he Is not
in the Derby next year. The Sallie OF
Navarro colt, by Broomstick, runs him
close second. Top O. the Morning proved
a most unsuccessful youngster In the
early part of the season, for he carried
silk on nine occasions. He finished up
we'll by winning his last three races. The
Whitney three-year-Olds did well, for out
of the six in the stable only Field Daisy
failed to score. Perseus III accounted
for three races. Hillside III and Sixty IL
two each, and Bobbin II and Seaclff one
each. After six unsuccessful attempts
Fair Play II was brought home to Amer
lea. The latest list of scratchings says
that the Whitney string has been struck
out of all engagements for the year
This means that they are done for the
season. The following table shows the

New Hockey League.

NEW YORK. November 2O.-The in
creasing popularity of the game of ice
hockey is evidenced by the many projects
for organizing leagues that are arising in
different sections of the country. Talk
is still rife of a league to include Cleve-
land, Chicago, Pittsburg and New York
and one or two cities across the border.
However, it seems as though this plan has
not taken tangible form, that would lead
one to expect developments this season.
On the other hand, the organization of
minor amateur leagues throughout the
middle west and the evident booming of
the sport at the eastern colleges lends
color to the thought that the game of the
crooked sick and rubber disk will in a
few years attain really big proportions.

EXCITING BASKET BALL.
Northminster Boys Conquer the
Georgetown Props, 81 to 10.

Twenty-one to eighteen is the score by
which the speedy Nortnminster tribe of
goal tossers proved their superiority over
the Georgetown Props at Ryan gymna-
SUM last evening. The game was replete
with brilliant team work and excellent
dribbing. but was greatly marred by
poor shooting. Excitement reigned
throughout among the large number of
Prep rooters present, and especially in
the last half, when it looked as though
the embryos would overcome their ad-
versaries' lead.
After four minutes of seesaw passing,
Morris opened the scoring with a beauti-
tul overhead goal Murphy of the Props
then followed with a single pointer from
Norris. FOUL and minute later added two
more by field shot During the next
three minutes Morris made as many goals.
after which Bischoff hooked two others.
at this point the Props substituted
Heiskell and McInerney for Brady and
Waldron at the guards. The new men
seemed to make things livelier for while,
with the result that a couple OF fouls
netted each side tally. With but four
minutes before intermission, Murphy in
creased his teams points by a goal from
the field and a tally from each of Bisch-
offs and Morris fouls. Time was called
Immediately after FURNACE missed
Loehrs foul. Score: Northminsters, 49,;
Georgetown frepS, D.
The second half was a good deal closer
and at the same time tribe rough. The
work. however, was by no means inten-
tional and it only served to increase the
heat of the conflict. For eight minutes
neither team seemed able to land the
sphere in the net, although some we'll
worked team playing gave both sides
plenty of chances. When the scoring did
begin 1t began in earnest, and for the
rest of the session both quints seesawed
in the point column. Murphy started the
music with pretty goal from among a
bunch, which was more than Offset by
Ncrthminster getting four points from
ringers by Bischoff and FIN mage. Loehl
landed pretty two pointer a snort while
later, and Immediately afterward Plumber
retaliated with another. With only five
minutes remaining both teams started in
with speeder work. Loehl and FURNACE
couple of points on the Props total. AT
this point the Props seemed to have
the better of the argument, and had they
been more proficient in shooting they
would have overcome the lead of the
downtown lads. AS it was the only sue
cessful shot was Trumbulls, in the last
two minutes of play. and final time was
called with Northminster having three
point lead.
For the victors Morris starred. This
lad, who is we'll known in local gridiron
circles on account of his steady playing
on the Tech eleven during the past fall,
seemed able to dribble at will among the
HlItoppers. His teammate, Bischoff, also
slowed up we'll. For the Props Capt
Murphy and Aoehl played the best, al
though both would have been more in the
limelight If they had better eyes for the
basket.
