POLICE HOLD UP
BIDS FOR BIG FIGHT

Jimmy Callahan. who is here in connec-
ton with the appearance of the Jeffries-
Gotch combination at Convention Hall
next Friday night, received a phone mes
sage from New York last night that the
police commissioners of that city have re
fused to allow the public reading of the
bids for the Jeffres-J ohnson fight in
Madison Square Garden the night of De-
cember /. or in the state.
II has been discovered by the police
commissioners. that the parties interested
are legally wrong in contracting to open
and close bias for a forty-tve-round or
finish fight. The laws of New York state
provide only for boxing contests of ten
rounds or less, and it was on these
grounds that the refusal was made.
JeffrieS and Johnson will both be al
lowed to appear with their sparrng part
ners at Madison Square Garden i'll con
nection with the Jeffries-Gotc combina-
ton, but the opening of the bids Will have
to be done privately or in some other
state.

BLUE AND GRAY'S
COAL T0SSERS WIN
Baltimore Medicos 0utpIayed
in Fierce Basket Ball
Battle.

Georgetown University's basket ball
team trimmed quintet from Baltimore
Medical College to the tune of "a to 10 at
Odd Fellows Hall last night in game
full Of rough-and-tumble tactics. George
town got the lead in the first part of the
game and held on to 1t with vim
throughout, although the Baltimoreans
came in strong at the finish.
Both teams had plenty of fight in them
and used all they had. More than once
the referee had to caution the players
against unnecessary roughness and at the
beginning of the second half announced
that he would disqualify any player who
INDUCED in any more of it. However
there was good feeling throughout the en-
tire game, despite the many twisted knees
and ''biffs in the eye given unintention-
ally
]. Caulif1ower starred for Georgetown
getting four goals from the floor. after
hard playing, and four goals from fouls.
Larham was a dangerous man on the
medical side, he throwing three clean
baskets from the floor.
The spectators had to sit right at the
edge of the playing space, situation
which resulted in many a spill \ dozen
times in each half writhing mass of
players was precipitated into some lady's
lap. Toward the end of the game two
men grappled with each other and pitched
headlong into the seats at one end of the
hall. 1t looked like fight and several
girls got out of the way in hurry, while
other people ran up to see what was the
matter. The scrimmage resulted in a
double foul, both teams scoring on the
penalty allowed them.

TO BACK HEYD[ER
Murphy and Brush in a Kettle
of Hot Water, Says
Hermann.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


CINCINNATI, Ohio. November 81
That the fear of syndicate base ball will
move Presidents Robson of st. Louis and
! Dovey of Boston to vote for President
John Heydler for reelection to the lead
ership Of the National League Is the
statement authorized today by President
Garry Hermann of the Cincinnati Reds
and chairman of the national commits
sion.
He says. though. these men are agains,
corporations owning base ball clubs and
that they will absolutely fight to keep out
of 1t. He says that previous efforts tt
have corporation represented on the
| base ball diamond have always proved
futile and unworthy, that there are sc
many men interested in the club that
they all want to say how it is run, and
that the players themselves will not work
as hard when this plan is used as wher
the club belongs to one or a very few
men.
President Robson of the ST. Louis club
has not promised anybody to vote for
anybody" said Hermann. He is free &c
vote for John Heydler or John NJ. Ward
or the man just around the corner. Presl-
dent Dewey is in the same boat though
ne has as yet said but very little, if any
thing, about the meeting this winter and
It's results. | am not speaking for them,
understand, when | say that I do not
think they will vote as Murphy and
Brush and Ebbets want them to- but
am giving my personal opinion, which !
think is fairly good on this line. VI
course, one never can tell Just what III
the wind. But I hardly think that Messrs.
Robson and Dovey would vote that way.
That Murphy and Brush and Ebbets are
going to vote for Mr.. Ward is GER
tainty. That the Philadelphia manage
ment may vote that way is also pronaple'
though you must understand that nothing
of this sort has ever been said yet. | do
not think Mr.. Ward if he is elected will
DO one single thing against the best inter
asts of the game. and | feel that We're
Mr.. Heydier willing to step down that
would approve of the selection of Mr..
most clever gentleman. But why should
we bench Heydler? He wants the place
and / think we ought to give 1t to MN.
Coming back to the question. OF Messrs.
Robson and Dewey, l hardly thlnk tnat
Mr. Doyev will make known his opinion
as to who ought to be the leader of the
League until the meeting in New YORK.
Mr. Robson may say beforehand Whch
way he will vote. But l know that lie
has not promised anybody to vote Tor
their man yet Syndicate base ball. in
this case, means that the Quakers are TO
be made a stronger club at the expense OF
other clubs in the league. Thls must De
done by them in order to put up a
stronger fight for the pennant in 1910.
1t also means that the ST. Louis and Bos-
ton clubs who have been working harder
than anybody else in the league TO build
up their teams. will remain IDLE ana
watch the Quakers. TINS isn't nardIy
probable, is it? It's almost clncn that
both Messrs. Robson and Dewey nave
figured this all out and that they know
lust what it will mean to them. The sale
of the Philadelphia club will put Murphy
