"This Irishman had longed to be
an actor all his life. One night in a
saloon he gave vent to his theatrical
aspirations eloquently. A well-dressed
chap eyed him with approval. and then
took him aside and offered him a job
in his own show. OF course the offer,
without any hagglng. was accepted.
But the actor, when he turned up
early the next morning. was much
disappointed with the nature of his
job. He found that he was not to
play in theater. but a circus. His
employer led him into a dirty cage,
pointed to d NANCY old lion skin and

(By II. 8. Andrews.)

Milwaukee, Wis, Jan. Pas I pre-
dicted weeks ago, the Jeffries- Johnson
battle for the heavy weight champion
ship will take place either in San Fran
cisco or one OF us suburbs. There was
never a chance for it to be held at Salt
Lake City, as the authorities there
stated plainly that a 40 round contest
would not be permitted. and as the ar
ticles of agreement called for that num-
Der Of rounds it was evident from the
start that there was little prospect of
holding il in the Mormon capital. Jack
Gleason formally came out and an
noiunced that San Francisco will he

some big mining men were back OF tho

have been fearful about. The boxing
which he has been doing on his vaude-

TOM LYNCH GOING
TO CARE FOR UMPS:
Sends Out Letters to UNI
pires About Troubles
ReDlieS.

New York Jan. 22-President Thorn
as J. Lynch, Of the National league will
offer an amendment to the code which.
in his opinion. viii do away with q
large share of the umpires troubles.
President Lynch, an expert umpire him
self ten years ago, recently sent a
letter to each man on the National
league umpire staff asking for Informal
ton as TO the causes of some Of the
disorder on the ball field last year and
in previous years.
1.-The replies from the umpires, with
one exception, have stated the facts
very clearly. They show that the UNI
pires have practically very little fric-
ton with the players actually engaged
in the game and that the present trou-
bic is caused by the coaachers and
the players on the benches. The rules
against kicking on the ball field are
clearly drawn and can be rigidly en-
forced. There are ironclad rules gov
ern1ng the coachers. too. but in looking
over the code there is nothing TO pre-
vent the misconduct of players on the
benches.
"The rules provide for covered
benches so that players have no fear
OF being heard by persons in the grand
stand The back and roof of the bench
serves as a sounding board and re-
marks directed to the umpire usually
reach their deStination. An umpire has
a hard time watching the PLAYER on the
field. so that an unruly fellow on the
bench can do as he pleases. As there
is no specific rule covering these bench
klckers. umpires have been somewhat
In doubt what action to take. A PLAYER
may be a model as to decorum on the
held. but an indian the moment he
reaches the bench, where the men sit
so closely together that it is diff
cult matter to detect the author of
ABUSIVE criticism and ridicule.
But am going to provide a remedy
Tor this evil No. I can't say what If
VIII be because it hasn't been adonted
yet But 1 am going to submit If to
uhe Joint rules committee with the idao
that both leagues will adopt and en-
Iorce It, If the American league Moo
pie Go not want this reform the Nation
al league VIII go ahead with If alone
me remedy I have in mind viii estah-
hsh absolute decorum on the bali field
ana viii empower umpires to nunisb
