rounds of boxing with Bob Armstrong,

ing with defensive tactics in the nrst
round with a view of improving MS
speed and footwork, Jeffries, who Is
not much given to backing away, was
soon chasing the negro all over the
ring. Armstrong said he was glad

Fake GraDplers Tote Brick
At Government Penitentiary

Joe Carroll, whose real name is
Marsh, and Bert Wagner, who says his
name is Shores, are tending brick
machine at the United States peniten-
tiary at Leavenworth, Kan, and John
c. Maybray, chief of the gang of sure
thing men who swindled gullible sports
out of about 100000 in two years. is
making the brick that Carol and
Warner are carrying away.
They are all doing time as the result
of sentences imposed by the federal
court at Council Bluffs, and it is the
first time any of them have worked in
some time.
Joe Carroll and Bert Warner were
around Spokane for quite a while last
year, and were prominent in the wrest-
ling game. They announced frequently
at Seattle that they We're going to put
Dr. Roller out of business but DOC"
is still collecting the coin and taking
it out of circu alton while Carroll and
Warner are working without pay.
Some well-known wrestlers, jockeys
and boxers were mixed up with the
Maybray gang so that a match could
be fixed up that would suit the suck
ers' fancy. Seldom was a man swind-
led in his own town. He was usually
70 70 oil of
try. For instance. a sucker from Coun
ell Bluffs would be brought to Seattle
to be relieved of his money, while the
man in Seattle who wanted to bet on
a sure thing was sometimes takes as
far away from home as New Orleans
If his fancy turned to boxing, a fight
was arranged. If he preferred wrest-
ling, it was no trouble to fix up a
match; if he liked to see the horses
run, the gang had thoroughbreds and
good jockeys to ride them; they so
had some WellknOWn foOtracers on
their staff so their work covered a
wide range.
Carroll and Warner were known as
steerers In the trial. That must have
touched Joe's pride, for around Seattle
he always posed as one of the big
guns of anything he was mixed up in.
AS result of the trials in Council
Bluffs there is now an interesting coll
ony of sure thing men at Leaven-
worth where there is scant opportun-
ity to fleece the festive sucker and
where the double cross cannot be
worked to any profit.
John c. Maybray, leader of the col
ony, is making brick, and here is what
the others are doing:
Clarence Glass, pugilist, washing
othes in the laundry.
Clarence Forbes, pugilist, chamber
maid in the dollhouse.

National league team rallied in the 9th

Tennis is Dead
Long Live Golf

WASHINGTON, April 15.-A subtle
sense Oh sadness pervades the new
tennis court in the White House
grounds
No court could have been made moro
perfect. The net is taut the squares
within the white chalk lines are as
mathematical ly correct as thew can
De made. No fairer environment
could have been selected for it.-not
even Versailles itsef where the habi-
tues of the court of the grand mon
argue played the same game in a set
ting so splendid that France went
bankrupt in creating it.
The new White House court lies
under the shade of the budding elms.
The spring breezes watt across it the
soft fragrance of the magnolia bios
SONS and the lulling music of the
FLASHING fountain nearby. The rob-
ms run across the green turf and the
squirrels scamper about without fear
OF molestation. The picture is one of
perfect-perfect-pe - but. peace
with sadness
Vainly does Captain Archibald Butt,
with lissome figure c ad in snowy
f1annels, invade the domain of pro-
found serenity in an effort to evoke
the glory of the days that were.
Beekman Winthrop. assistant secre-
tary of the navy, and Ambassador
Jusserand, members of that informal
cabinet which is now but q memory,
struggle to revivify the fading tradi-
ton that traced a parallel in the
triumphs of state craft and the vic
tories of the tennis court. Even the
untrammeled energy of Charlie Taft,
who sometimes diverts his attention
from more boyish pursuits to whale
the ball over the fence or into the
fountain, lifts but momentarily the
impalpable veil of melancho y sad
ness which drops it's folds all the more
closely after this burst of juvenile
activity.
The White House tennis court that
was, has been obliterated, the tennis
cabinet is scattered to the four winds
of heaven-or almost as bad as that
and it seems that efforts to organize
another will be in vain. OF that old
cabinet but few familiar faces are
left Beekman Winthrop, Ambassa
dor and Lawrence o. Murray are left
field, Phil Ups and the others-per-
haps they still play tennis, but the
eyes of the political world are no
longer conferred upon the score. That
day is past and the guiding spirit is
far away in other lands.
The old court, which was sacrificed
to provide for the addition to the exc
cutive offices was no such dream of
creation as the present court. 1t was
mere rectangle of clay and it was sur
rounded by green canvas walls which
tapped unpoetically in the wind. And
how different the attitude of the play
ers who Igalloped about under cover
of that canvas screen! One cou
catch a glimpse now and then of
stocky figure clad in shapeless
sweater or an elongated anatomy that
resembled the quondam chief forest

| JEFFRIES TRAINING CAMP, Ro-
Wardennan, Cal, April 1.-THE settling
down in his new training at Reward
ennan, in the Santa Cruz mountains
| his actual training for his coming fight
with Jack Johnson, has, naturally
enough. been the chief news of the
week in sporting circles in this part of
| the country.
To tell the truth, Jeffries did little
actual work the first few days, but the
eyes of the world have been upon him
and practically everything that he has
undertaken has been commented upon
by the newspaper writers who have
been detailed to be with him. No detail
OF his life has been too small to hang
story upon. and he has been fol-
lowed as closely as any royal person
age Jeffries had trout for luncheon the
frt day that he arrived, and every
paper in the country chronicled the
fact. He cut down a small tree for
exercise, and it was the basis of good
story.

Russell Kissler and Tod Boyer, arrived
in San Francisco last Monday, and as
the fighter was anxious to be settled at

Tn fact tho newspaper men made up
the life of the first afternoon and mao
it no, been for the antics of the photo
praphers I am afraid there would have
been little to write about. Each of the
San Francisco morning papers and one
of the afternoon dailies had a special
writer on the scene, and each was ac-
companied by a photographer. In ad-
dition. two New York news assoela-
tions had photographers here ready
to greet the party and rush their IL
lustrations' east.
And the way those photographers
chased Jeffries around during the after
noon was a caution They took him
in every conceivable position and post

train and assisting his wife down the
steps: they took him when he arrived
at the hotel; as he stood on the steps
of the cottage that is to be his home
for the next three months; inspecting
the lake where he will do his rowing
and playing baseball. They wanted 10

DETROIT, April 15.-Cleveland and
Detroit seesawed their way through a
ten inning game that finally was won
by the visitors, 9 to Z. Joss started
badly. but braced up In the fourth and
was unhittable until the ninth and
tenth. Mullen did not have his speed
and seemed overturned. He was wild
at the start and was hit often and
hard from the fifth inning on. Craw-
ford was the star, driving in four runs.

Since Idaho refused to finish the
contest in their game with Oregon
a few days ago on account Of another
poor decision of the same umpire,
Whitman came to the conclusion that
the second game lost to the Oregon

evening sent in protest to the exc

over, Whitman will have a good chance
of winning in the series with Oregon,
and thus get step nearer to the
