johnson never takes chance with an
opponent said Billy Roche. the Frisco
referee yesterday .He is the greatest
staller In the ring. He believes In taking
his own time. and never INDUCES in an
exchange Of swings. If he blocks blow
and finds an opening for a quick right
hand counter he drives it in. and gen
orally reaches a vital point. This was
cleaverly illustrated by his fight with Sam
McVey In California several years ago.
For nineteen rounds neither would take
chance by cutting loose. When the
twentieth began the referee besought the
men to go in and slug. Johnson remained
on the defensive, and when McVey came
boring in with wild blows Jack blocked
a couple of them and then let go his right.
The blow caught McVey squarely on the
point of the jaw and knocked him out
cold. 1 predict that Johnson and Jefrries
will put up long fight. JEFF was never
an aggressive fighter, and all the men he
whipped were coming to him. He'll find
Johnson and his defensive tactics far
different proposition. JEFF will have to
have a world Of endurance. therefore. to
wear the negro down."-New York Sun.

NEW YORK. December 4.-President
Fogei of sthe Philadelphia National
League club says he will disclose the
| identity of his hackers at the coming
| meeting in this city If other figure
head presidents will follow suit. Fogel,
who is using plenty OF war paint, de-
clares he is independent regarding the
| election of either Heydler or Ward and
also says he would like to know the
names Of the men who really own Dow
| ey's Boston Nationals, Ebbetts' Brook
lyns. Brush's New Yorks and Dreyfuss'
Pittsburgs. He is sure the men named
are handling other peoples money. 1t
is said that when Dreyfuss sold the
Louisville club and bought the Pittsburg
franchise he was backed by big dis
tillery In Kentucky. The late George B.
Dewey admitted on numerous occasions
that the friends of Dreyfuss put up the
coin for the Boston club, Brush has al
ways insisted that he purchased con-
trolling interest in the New York club
from Andrew Freedman. while Ebbetts
last summer declared with emphasis that
he alone owned a majority of the Brook
lyn clubs stock. c. w. Murphy has de-
MED repeatedly the assertion That c. P.
Taft is the actual owner of the Chicago
Cubs, but Murphy and Taft so far have
,cined to affirm or deny the statement
that they are behind Fogel

Johnson, president of the American
League, declares that If the National
League elects John NJ Ward president
his own organization will bolt the ma
tional commission and withdraw from
the national agreement This warlike
declaration, it is said. has been authorized
by all the American League owners who
have accepted Johnson's version Of the
Ward-Davis double contract case. Positive
information was received here today that
Robson, owner of the St Louis Cardi-
mails. has tied up with the Heydler fac
ton. and that when noses are counted
here next week there will be a deadlock
unless the Ward faction weakens In
any event, it is predicted that Heydler
will hold over as the leagues presiding
officer.

SOCCER GAME ON CARDS.
Georgetown Will Inaugurate Glass
League Tomorrow.

With the meeting Of the sophomore and
freshman soccer teams tomorrow In the
Georgetown Interclass League, the new
sport will have its first real test among
the Hilltop students. Inasmuch as the
life of the game will depend on the in
terest taken in these battles, tomorrow s
contest is a most important one. Coach
Williams has had the men in hand now
for week, and they have acquired con-
siderable knowledge of the game, with
the result that the Caledonian player feels
confident that the display. which they
will give OF their abilities will go a great
way toward furthering the sport among
the. other classes of the schools
Capt. Mahoney of the sophomores has
announced that he will pick his team
from among the following: Mahoney,
Murray, sitterding. Kingsley, Wymard.
Mulhgan. Cogan, Burke. Mcnamara,
Smith, Crosby, Vlymen, Stihlman, Cas-
sidy and Jennings OF these. no less than
eight are supporters of the Rugby game
and many were members of the varsity
eleven Of the past fall They are all
willing to give soccer a good chance,
and will do their best to make a showing
tomorrow. As far as victory is concern
ed, they look much stronger than the
first year men, but on account of the
little experience that both teams have
had not many are overconffdent of the
result.
The freshmen yesterday elected Carl
Bucher of Logansport. Ind, captain of
their team, and Raymond Loichot of
Pennsylvania manager To these two
will fall the lot of selecting a lineup,
but as both are considered capable to
make good pickings, there is no reason
why their choosing should not be of
first-class caliber. The men who will
try for positions are McQuail. Carrigan.
Walsh, Brennan, Gaynor. OBrien, OCon-
nor, Waldron, Fraunheim, Mallon, Car
roll. Graham, Nolan, Moriarty and
Butcher.
This morning two elevens from the
Caledonian Club viii give an exhibition
game on Georgetown Field, after which
Coach Williams, with the assistance of
some Of the Caledonians, will teach the
finer points of the play to the men who
will take part in the class game. The
other class contests will come off later
in the week, as will also the prep inter
class games, the schedule for which is
now being arranged by President Cohill
of the athletic association.

GEORGETOWN GETS BID.
May Have Representative at Meet
ing of Rules Committee.

In a communication from the secretary
OF the Intercollegiate Athletic Association
received at Georgetown yesterday. the To-
cal university was requested to send a
representative to the meeting of the foot
ball rules committee, which will be held
at the Murray Hill Hotel in New York
December IS, at which it is planned to
make many changes in the existing rules
for playing the gridiron game. with a
view to eliminating much of the danger
OF serious injury that is now prevalent
The fact that the faculty at Georgetown
has already forbidden the game to be
played another year places the Blue and
Gray representative in a position to call
for much attention, since the action OF
the local school, unless rescinded, may
yet result In foot ball being abolished
throughout the south.
At the same meeting the District OF Co.
iumbia will be represented by an old
Georgetown man and one of the assistant
coaches this year. Thomas Kirby. Should
rhe university send its manager. 1t will be
both Of whom will carry with them ex-
tenS0o authority. The manager of the
Georgetown foot ball department for next
fall is William Fitzgerald OF Troy, ~. Y.
Not only IL he member of the executive
staff. but he has also had much actual
experience In the game. since he played
guard on the varsity during the past fall
The Hilltoppers We're also asked TO make
some suggestions on how they think it is
possible TO modify the game. and 1t Is
probable that these suggestions will be
made parallel TO the views expressed by
the faculty when the mandate was is
sued abolishing the sport. An open line
substantial increase in the distance to
he gained in three downs, and the playing
Of the game in thirds will be the prin-
ctpal changes advocated. Whether the
faculty viii reinstate the sport In case
these changes are made Is probleratical
hut the opinion among the students is
that a code of rules making 1t less pos
sible for mass plays and more necessary
10 punt will he sufficient argument tc
obtain change in the edict of the faculty
against the sport.
