Charlottesville, Va, July 24.--More
interest is being taken in baseball in
Charlottesville this summer than for
ten years past, and the prediction is
made than within the next year or tw"
an amateur league will be formed in
this section of the state, composed OF
Stanton, clifton Forge. Covington,
Winchester, Harrisonburg, Culpeper,
Orange and Charlottesville.
Late in June the Elks and Eagles
began a series of games. and the
rivalry for supremacy between the two
lodges has been intense. At one or
two OF the games the attendance has
been over 1000, and on one afternoon
all the stores in the city closed down
at o'clock in order to allow their
employees to attend. The series now
stands to in favor of the Jefferson
Aerie OF Eagles The games take place
on Friday afternoon of each week,
and numbers of Elks and Eagles from
sister lodges near by come over to see
the games The contests have reveal
ed the presence in the city of some
splendid talent. and one or two of the
games have been very close and In

Among a collection OF jokes and
near Jokes on themselves. related by
Governors and former Governors in the
New York World yesterday, is the fol-
lowing, which is supposed to have been
given by Ex-Governor Swanson:
One of my earliest mishaps as Citizen
Fixit occurred when / was young IN
the political arena, and when 1 found
myself easily disconnected by trifling
Interruptions. A friend and I were
stumping the State in the interests of
our party and Glanced one night upon
an audience with the hoodlum element
strongly intermingled. The crowd was
plainly irritated, and many people left
rather than be subjected to the dis
turbance, but no one seemed brave
enough to stop 1t. 1 was furious that
the chairman did not take some action
and clear the place of the mischievous
mob. My nerves were tingling with
the desire to throttle the disturbers.
but by the time I was called to this
floor my anger had cooled to the extent
that I had hit upon a scheme $50 l

chaos.
I was determined not to go on with
my speech If the annoyance continued.

ed by the old historian Heroditus. l

to wait until they heard my story.

but the demand from all sides that ne

became so strong that he finally gave

get into condition. He worked nara
for months before he became con-
vinced that he could get In shape, and

In San Francisco there were many

Milwaukee, July 24.--"You can say
for me when YOU return East that
never again will I enter the ring to
battle for the worlds title or any
other title.''
The above remarks were made to
the writer at Jeffries's home in Los
Angeles few days ago, just before
leaving the glorious Los Angeles eli
mate for old beer town. The remark
of Jeff was an answer to many reports
that the big fellow was not satisfied
with the result of his battle with
Johnson and would demand another
chance at the title.
Here is another bit of information
that has not been given the public
as yet. On July IS. when leaving Los
Angeles, Jeffries was still bothered
with numbness on the right side OF
his face; in fact, the entire side. from
his eye 10 the chin was paralyZed. He
had no feeling in ii whatever, and to
prove what he said he invited the
writer to pinch the face and run a
needle or such into it. His gums

round of the bout at Reno. was con-
siderably better, but even at this lata
day it bothered jeff whenever he
