GOSSIP OF THE RING
BY JEFF THOMPSON

New York, September 25.-(Special.)- Men who interest themselves in pugil- ism of what they call the legitimate kind, if the profession can be said to be legitimate since 1t is under the ban of the law in this state, argue that the business has received its hardest blows from a cheap class of sports. The latter they say have brought pugilism into dis credit by employing boys and half-trained fellows to give exhibitions for the money there Is in it. It is a matter of proof that they have had bouts between young fellows who work during the day and had no chance to train: boys who sell papers on the streets and even bootblacks and office boys. It IS said there are fully 500 young so-called pugilists in Greater New York. An old lawyer tells me that a few weeks ago he attended one of these cheap bouts. The announcer appsj>ed him by trotting out a pair, one of whom was an office boy whom he employed. The youngster who appeared under an as- stunned name, something like 'The Harlem Terror" was knocked out in three rounds. The man who employed the lad saw the boy lived on doughnuts and pie The case was not an isolated one.
 Billy Delaney, the well-known trainer
 
 ago discussed some of the big fighters he has known, and sizing up their quail ties, he said:
 Physically, Jim Jeffries was the best of the lot, but he did not like to fight, and that was the weak spot in his life. He had all the fighter could pick up but he tried to come back to the ring when he no longer had that wonderful vitality.
 John L. Sullivan was of the old school. Those two things were Sul- livan's best asset-his grit and hit ting power. but pitted against the men of today he would be outclassed. He was the best of his time, and although he violated the rules of training he was a wonderful man. Schooled in mod ern methods he would have proven in- vincible.
 "Jim Corbett was the fastest man I ever trained and, bar Johnson. the only finished boxer the heavyweight class has produced.
 Jim lacked hitting power. Had he the punch of FitZsimmons or Sullivan he would have been the peer of all the fighters.
 Bob Fitzsimmons was a wonder. How he could hit and what a game man he was. He was the best middle weight who ever lived He was too small to beat Johnson. but he was as good a man as ever lived.
 "Joe Choynski and Kid Mccoy were light heavyweights, too big to be mid- dleweights and not large enough to be champions in the class above. Mccoy

 There is no situation in the ring Johr

 Jack Munroe, writing from minin Canadian wilderness, says he is gettin so much gold he doesn't know what { do with it.
 Munroe didn't make much money the fighting game. but his nerve was rigf even if he was no champion. Few me
 who follow fisticuffs care to jump int the wilderness and rough 1t with tf toughest, dare the Arctic winters and l1 alone for months.
 l. That's what Munroe--tiid. After bein beaten by Jeffries he became less draw ing card. When he stopped to thin the matter over he came to the concll
 sion that he was too good a man become a prize ring bum He kne something about mining long before I became fighter.
 Munroe is one of the richest retird fighters. But he hasn't cent left the money he made in the ring. That d flew.

the best thing in sight for the M. & M. and other big stakes of the Grand cir cult. She won cheap race at Windsor. Ont. but the following week in the M. & M. was up against Margin and Merle N, and only won third money to that good pair. She was lame at the time and was not raced much last season. She looked good this season, but in her few starts was pitted against cracks who had just little too much speed for her. In the class races she looks mighty hard to beat, for her mile in 2:10A is easily equal to 2:08 over fast course, and she can trot faster than that when strung out.

 There were great many horsemen that thought Dick McMahan had first--class gold brick in the bay horse Colonel For est, by General Forest, dam Emma T., by Reality, and 1t did not look so In the early season. But McMahan Is a patient worker and evidently had the rich 5000 2:13 pace to be decided at the Mtnne- sOta State Fair in his mind, ana ne lanu- ed the plum in good order. There was a big field Of 15 and he was beaten out in the first heat in 2:08A by the bay geld ing Sam, but he copped the next three heats in the impressive time of 2'O7%. .2:OSA and 2:09H and stamped himself as one of tho best campaigners in the west. McMahan made also a good start with Captain Hunt in the 2:28 trot. while he won the BIT pace with Becky Hand did not have to go faster than 2:141h, which he can easily beat.
 In the east at Hartford western horses and drivers were decidedly prominent. The Iowa trainer. G. Haag. won the No. 900 Charter Oak stakes, and did It m straight heats in the excellent time or 2:0sN, 2:0s and 2:09. while the Indiana owned stallion Gamar driven by Harri- son. was second. Trainer Gaghen of Michigan won the 2:11 trot with the geld ing startle by William Wilkes, the best time being 2:1014.
 Charles Dean of Palatine has begun to pick tho plums and captured the 2:i2 trot at Hamline with Henry H., by Greg- ory, the Great. and did 1t in the fast time of 2:10as. 2:09h and 2:10.
 The clever western pacer. Bland B.. won the Twin City stake in straight heats, defeating such good ones as Ma for Mallow, the king of the half-mile tracks. Adam G., and others. In word, western men are more than holding their own.

In the memory of many a devoted foI- lower of intercollegiate football the early nineties remain enthroned as the heroic age of the game. It was in this period
 that individual play seemed splendidly combined with progressive team work, that team work that lent itself so well to the beginning of the light, flying in- terference and other tentative advances.
 Strategy was in its heyday. Not that modern generalship is not superior but

The rule now prOViucs tHat tho catcHor of a forward pass shall not be interfered with except in a boni fide attempt by player on the defensive side to get possession of the ball.
 Cause: l. To reduce the possibility of injury to an unprotected man receiving a forward pass being hit by man on the defensive while he is practically un- protected.
 9. To force the play for the ball. rather than for the man making the football the object of the game at all times. and re- ducing the possibility of personal vim dictiveness injuring an unprotected man.
 Effect: l. Makes football considerably more like basketball.
 2. Increases the effectiveness of the forward pass as play.
 8. Tends to make teams use the for ward pass more. Reduction of Penalty on Forward Pass

From the definition of property
it is plain that labor power or

is the thirteenth amendment to
the constitution prohibiting slavery
and involuntary servitude.
Labor power can not be property
because it can not be separated
from the laborer. 1t is personal

ings of the courts make of the

is fundamental difference be-
tween the definitions oS property
and business there is none at all
between business and lahor, so that
if business is property, so is labor,
and if the earning power of bust
ness can be protected by equity
power through injunction SO can
the earning power of labor; in
other words, the laborer may OBJ
tain an injunction against a re-
discharge, which would stop wages
entirely. If this new definition of
property, by including therein
business and labor. be accepted,
then the Judge sitting in equity
becomes the irresponsible master
of all men who do businesss or who
labor.
What labor is now seeking is
the assistance of all liberty loving
men in restoring the common law

stricting the jurisdiction of the
equity courts in that connection to

adoption of the constitution. A bill
