methods by which they could get
in more money to pay the high-class
teams they are putting out this year.
Without doubt the ball played in the
City League is high class. In order
to accomplish that, though, 1t has been
necessary to pay good prices for play
ers. The managers have willingly done
that with few exceptions, but tho
! patrons of the game have not sup-
ported the efforts of the managers as
they should have. The managers all
complain about the field crowds, where
the fierce knocking takes place. Really
the cams are better off without those
crowds. The managers, however, have
decided to sell tags to all in the crowds
to wear during the game, showing all
those who paid n those who did not.
This will surely help some. If that
isn't successful the managers intend 10
surround their fields with canvas
fences and charge admission. The
managers are not inclined to do this
unless The crowd fails to pay on the
stag plan.
There is this much to say: The City
League teams are not getting the sup
port they deserve.
Percy Woodruff, manager of Kid Will
son, Is out with a def to Battling
Hurley. Tommy Murphy, Leach Cross
and Joe Seiger, the Denverite. Wood
ruff asks that they make weight and
is willing to have Wilson meet either
at any of the clubs. A out between
either would cause considerable in
ferest, 1t Is thought.
81 will have Wilson meet Joe Seiger
If he will make 142 pounds at 6 o'clock
ringside." said Percy last night, land
] am willing to put up any amount of
forfeit money that my man will make
the necessary weight. Wilson does not
fear any of them, n / am ready at
any time to make arrangements.
Further, Wilson is willing to meet
Murphy, Hurley or Cross il they will
make 1876 pounds at 6 O'Clock. 1t is my
Intention to send Wilson right alons
the line from now on.
"There are some managers in New
ark who had better ascertain from club
managers whether they will stage their
men. Wilson was challenged to meet
Joe Stein, but a Newark club would
mot arrange the bout, as they asserted
SteinSWould not draw in a match with
Wilson. so for that reason I WIS IN
able to get the affair on. There has
ipCeu AO HoiuluB pdCh OH MY part III
this matter. Kid Wilson fears no one
who will agree on a weight proposition,
which is only just"

To decide a little dispute kindly an
Ewer the following question: A and 3
play q game of dominoes. A sets out 4
blank. and B Their sets out blank 5,
making 6 fives on the table. b has
double s in hand. and there are seven
more 0 to buy. A claims that If
the double s is missing he is not com
PEELED to buy any stones. B claims
that inasmuch as seven 1ves block the
game, A must buy. Although this is
nc question pertaining to sport, never
theless you will convey a great favor
upon parties concerned in this little
dispute by answering same. Yours in
sport, ABNER E.. AUSTIN.
Supposing that your game is the
straight game and two-handed, A must
draw until he matches to open the
game. How does A now that double
8" is missing from the b~oneyards He
must buy" and that's all there is to
1t. so far as we can understand your
5query.-Ed.
Got a line from Mike Doyle, who saw
the big fight. Said he was on the coast
and feeling fine.
Now we have the accusation coming
from George Little that Johnson was
considering an offer to "1ay down." Is
At any wonder the game has a hard job
