Herman Will Not Talk,

CINCINNATI, March 29.-Garry
Hermann, chairman of the National
Baseball commission, today refused to
discuss the statement of President
Johnson regarding the King case.
No decision has been reached Of
ficially," he said, land the commits
sion will have nothing to announce on
the case for a few days yet"
Monday of last week Chairman
Hermann announced that after an
exchange of views by mail and tele-
graph the National commission had
been unable to agree and that a meet
ing to consider the King case had
been called for Friday. On that day
a long session was held, Messrs. john
son, Hermann and Lynch being pres
ent.
At its close, an announcement was
made that no decision had been
reached but that further mail and wire
exchanges would be used in an effort
to perfect a finding. The decision, 1t
was said, would be given out not later
than Thursday of this week.
Since then no intimatiOn has come
from the National commission head
quarters here that any change OF pro-
gram had been decided upon and Mr..
Herrmann's declaration of today is
taken 10 IucdH lDdI TIE VI PieAii
will be followed. Members of the
commission explained after Fridays
meeting that a pledge of secrecy had
been exacted from all concerned and
that nothing authoritative would be
forthcoming in advance of the official
PRONUNCIATION Of the decree.
Lynch Refuses to Talk.
NEW YORK, March 29.-Fresldent
Lynch of the National league declin-
ed last night to discuss Kings case
or to comment on Ban Johnson's re-
marks.
Baseball men in New York regard
the American league presidents eX-
PLANTATION as premature in that the
understanding was that the formal
announcement that King was to be
reinstated with possible penalties was
not to be made until Friday.
Furthermore, it is not quite clear
WHY Johnson's name should have been
affixed to the findings at all, in as
much as he is understood to have dis
scented from the majority opinion
throughout.

Little Dolphie is now on the high
road to the place where the money
grows A great fighter or simply a
lucky one, it is safe to presume that
his manager will grab all the change
in sight before AID enters the ring
again.
"Have You Got It,"
And why not? They all do it, AS
Phelan says in the play. "They don't
ask how you got it; they ask Have
you got it?"
A champion has only few years in
which to make his money. If he doesn't
get If when he can, he finds that there
comes a time when he can't After all
is said and done, the fighters are not
out for sentiment, or glory, or press
notices; they are after the thing we
are all hunting for-the money. So
when they begin to build the fires
under Dolphie, don't throw on any oil.
He has earned the right to collect the
tariff on championship title.

Burns "Wished' Himself.

Tommy Burns wished" himself into
world on such a poor piece of fighting
material as Marvin Hart. He clinched
his title and made people admit he
was a champion when he thumped
thai very bad fighter Bill Squires. BY
the time everybody else IN the coun-
try had whipped Bill, people began
to discredit Burns performance. but
by that time he had established HIM
self as a champion and was making
money hand over fist by lighting men
who would have been soft for far

clusion that the first good heavyweight
to get at Tommy Burns would be the
new champion OF the world and no

Color Line Fine Excuse.

There is always a fine tailor made
excuse for sidestepping a tough black
man. Very possibly Hams grandson
discovered the color line and the black
men have been starving behind it ever
since. All the colored fighters fear
the drawing of the line; some of them
are worldly wise enough to pull to an
opponent now and then in order to
keep the sucker crop coming
Peter Jackson found that Sullivan
drew the color line and every really
good negro fighter has found certain
percentage of his white brethren on
the other side of that handy excuse.

talk Jimmy Britt used to make about
his hot southern blood? And how soon
his hot southern blood cooled when
it was ascertained that Joe Cans was

NEW YORK, March "a more or
less celebrated boxer was once caught
with the merchandise. The goods were
on him at the time; the goods were
all over him. AS there wasn't one
chance In a million for him to lie his
way out of the difficulty, he opened his
mouth and told portion of the truth
about half portion. He prefaced his
confession with the following arau-
ment:
Boxing is business with me- I
am business man. If l see a business
opportunity, l grasp it, / have put
boxing on a purely commercial basis.
Why am l any worse than any other
conservative business man who refuses
to take chances? play the game safe
at all times
And this from a young man whose
pugilstic trail was so crooked that a
gopher snake would have broken his
back trying to follow it,
Too Much CommerciaIism.
1t sounds all right-that talk about
commercialism. 1t sounds all right
until you begin to think about the ul-
innate cOnSumer-the fellow who gives
up his iron men at the gate because
he believes he is going to see two men
doing their level best.
Coming right down to cases, there
are few fighters who can say that they
never saved an opponent or stalled
for a decision when hard fighting
would have won by knockout.
While the white men have not been
blameless in this respect, the blacks
have been the worst offenders. here
are plenty of good healthy reasons for
this state of affairs. If a negro is too
good and let's everybody find it out,
he is going to find himself up against
the grand old life saver-the color

1T Is nothing unusual for the larger

years OF age" said Jerome S. Rogers,

cording to the Washington Herald.
The majority are travelling with
their parents, both the father and
mother doing daily duties in the ring,
and while often they are trained TO
follow In the steps of their elders they
are seldom allowed to perform in pub
lie.
1t Is common belief among circus
men that the performer whose train.

OF will seldom make a distinctive
record. | often saw groups of boys.
some of whom could not have been
over 4 or years old, practicing rudi
mentary somersaults and handsprings,
while their parents locked on with
sgratifed smiles. These were the fam.
llies OF the circus aristocracy, who
treasure the records of their ancestors
with the pride of a son in his fathers
sword and who see no more inspiring
calling for their own children than
Sthat of the great white canvas.
Not that their education is neglect.
ed In other respects; several of the
families often hire an instructor--per-
haps one of the performers who has
the time and ability for such work
to coach their children in the standard
studies. One circus, indeed, has now
established travelling school for the
youngsters. If they are to be acrobats
they are to be educated acrobats."
