ienge to Jack johnson to fight him To
a finish for a $4,000 side bet, appeared
on the stage last night at Hammer
stein's Roof Garden. in New Yolk,

of Jeffries's trainers. The contest was
fast and exciting, and kept Johnny
Dunn, who oficiated as referee, on the
alert. Langford vehementiy denounced
Jack johnson and declared openly that
the latter was afraid to Tight when
George W. Little, Johnson's former
manager, who was in evidence also, de-
clared himself and positively assured

James j. Corbett expects to win the

a message from Albany, Mo-, today
Corbett revealed Mcleod as the man
whom he is training and secretly Civ
ing boxing instructions with the pur-
pose of eventually getting Jack John
sons scalp.
The message, which is declared to
be from reliable sources, says that Nc
Leod has signed a contract to enter
the ring, and already has received box
ing instructions from Corbett. Nc
Leod. who is a college la
achieved renown as an athlete. He
comes from a family of giants. having
two brothers who are his equal In

we have purposely delayed comment
upon the new cork-centre ball until WI,
could feel sure of our ground-whether
the reports of numerous balls batted
put of shape were really true and
whether, If true, 1t were due to the in
novation and whether the murfnur-
ings of some pitchers really indicated
that the new ball Is defective or ere
merely the natural outcome of less Sill
premacy over the batter than in
former years. Investigation from all
sources, listening to arguments both
pros and con, are convincing that the
cork centre ball is net only me of the
decided advances made of late years in
baseball, but that when 1t is absolutely
perfected, as 1t is bound To be sooner
or later, 1t will be generally recognized
as a great Improvement" states Sport
ing News We add our opinion to that
by saying hat when the cork-centre
ball does not show a defect 1t Is a fine
ball, and when 1t goes wrong 1t is 10
good. What ball Is good, though. when
II goes wrong? All a player has to do
Is to show 1t to the umpire and the
official will order a new ball. We have

went wrong. II seems to the writer
that. inasmuch as any defective bail
can he thrown cut. that the cork-ccn-
tire ball must not be condemned. The
proportion of good balls is such that
pitchers and players need not be hand
ieapped, while the ball manufacturers
are perfecting the very good cork-ccn-
tire ball. II some cork-centre balls go

KMANAGER sTALLINGs is report
lVI ed to have said that Frank

Laporte and Napoleon Lajoie
are b~aseba1i's greatest hitters. in the
strict sense of the word. If these men
had the speed of Ty Cobb and iris
Speaker. says S~tallings. they would be
so far ahead of the pair that there
wouldn't be any doubling them.
Mr.. Stallings may be all right, but
we think his statement is a little mis-
leading in that people may think Lajoie
and Laporte are better men. Speaker
and Cobb get on those bases and score
on account of their speed. where the
two Frenchmen could not. That's what
counts in the game, and I'll bet STALL
ings would trade Lajoie and Laporte
for Cobb and Speaker at any old time
without any hesitation.

NAVAL MILITIA TO
BE STRENGTHENED
Local Quarters Are Being Reinforced
to Permit Maintenance of Gun
Sent by the Govern
ment

The quarters of the seventh division
naval militia of California, IN the
armory at Eighth and Spring streets,
are being reinforced in order to sup
port the five-ton weight imposed by a
four-ton breech-loading gun which the
bureau of ordnance of the navy de-
partment has forwarded from Newport
News. The gun is of the latest model
and comes equipped with telescope
sights, sub-target and Morris tube for
indoor target practice, and is in line
with the recently announced policy of
the navy department to keep the naval
reserve in state of wartime ef-
ficiency.
Lieut.. A. II. Woodbine, commanding
the LOCAL division, will go to San Fran
cisco in a few days to be present at
the formal turning over of the u. S. S.
Marblehead to the command of Capt.
Bauer, NJ M. C. Because of the eff
flciency shown on their cruise last July
on the u. S. S. Alert, the Marblehead
will be manned solely by the officers
and men of the eight divisions Of the
state on a practice cruise of fifteen
days from San Francisco to Seattle in
July.
AS a result of their experience with
the New York naval reserves the navy
department ordered that the Marble
head be stripped of her big guns before
being turned over to Capt. Bauer, but
at his earnest remonstrance the order
was rescinded, and in case of actual
service the naval militia of the state
will man her as a unit instead of being
scattered among the vessels of the Pa
cific squadron.
