Ten Home Games This Week
PROFESSIONAL OF
 PITCHER BILL HART

Chattanooga. June 19.-(special.) .)-Twen- ty-f1ve years ago Bill Hart began his ca reer as a baseball player by pitching a victory for the Chattanooga club of the Southern league. Saturday he ended it in the same manner.
 Less than four hours after the old vet eran had pitched a great game against the Atlanta Crackers and brought vic tory to Chattanooga for the first time in over a week, the management decided that he would be let out in order to make a place for Pitcher Bill Graham a southpaw, secured from the St. Louis Americans.
 Manager Johnny Dobbs said Sunday that he would not have consented to Hart's release had not President Kav- anaugh promised to give him position as umpire on the Southern league staff Hart left for his home in Cincinnati Sum day morning, and after a few days rest he will come south again and take up his duties as an umpire.
 When Manager Dobbs found Hart late Saturday night to tell him of the change, Bill said: Dog gone, John l kinder hate to think of quitting, but I've got my grip packed. for I heard two days ago you were going to let me go." Hart will re. ceive a better salary for umpiring than. he was paid by the Chattanooga club.

CITIES MUST WAIT IN
 EXPOSITION MATTER

Washington. June 19.-San Francisco and New Orleans, which have been engaged in a spirited contest before Congress for the honor of holding the international cele- bration for the opening of the Panama canal in 1915 are doomed to disappoint- ment as far as Congress at this session is concerned. At least this is the almost unanimous opinion of those who have knowledge of the subject.
 The southern members of the foreign affaiir committee, particularly Represcn- tative Garner of Texas, are opposed to the passage in the House of the resolution reported by that committee Thursday in- viting foreign countries to participate In sacl. an exposition whenever cities com- petng for the honor have raised $7,5O0, 900 Tor fair.
 MT. Garner is a supporter of New Or leans, arc wants the matter to go over until next session. Mr. Garner announces that be will refuse unanimous consent to tile consideration of the resolution in the Ioure, and also will be able to defeat any attempt to bring it up by two- thirds vnte required under the rules.
 The only way the matter can be con- sidered Is by a special rule, which is quite improbable, and even If this were done MT. Garner says the Senate would not act uron the resolution.

LOCATION OF FIGHT
 STILL UNDECIDED Tex Rickard Has Hopes of Holding It in Frisco
  WAITING FOR ACTION
Fighters and the Public Generally Are Waiting Result of Conferences Which Fight Promoters
 Are Yet To Hold

San Francisco, June Extending Tex Richards final announcement, which he has promised to make before noon to- morrow, the fight situation tonight is still undecided. Rickard it transpires, is pin ming his hope on holding the Jeffries- Johnson contest in San Francisco. There is possibility that Governor Gillett will recede from his position in opposing the match, his action being the cause of much comment of an unpleasant nature. It is understood that pressure was brought upon the governor today in last desper- ate endeavor to secure the fight for San Francisco and it is said Mr RiclSard Is waiting news from Sacramento of the outcome of the attempt before giving out a definite statement regarding the battle ground.
 In the event the governor refuses to recede from his attitude it is stated to be absolutely certain MT. Rickard will declare Nevada the place. Reno is looked upon as the one best bet by all
 Training quarters for both fighters have been reserved near Reno and their man agers are holding themselves in readiness to move as soon as they receive the word.
 Rickard was in conference today with his attorneys and several local city off, cials. among them being Mayor P. H. Mccarthy. Louis Blot, promoter of the Kauf1nan-Langford fight, which was stopped yesterday by the police as re- suit of the. stringent orders of the gover- nor, said today he would not attempt to stage test contest, but would endeavor to secure from the chief executive a definition of a boxing contest.
 The governor has asserted that he would not interfere with any boxing con- tests that Blot may hold. but added that he would not permit a prize fight.

CHARLEY FRANK
 WITHIN THE LAW

Little Rock, June 19.-(Special )-After receiving President Franks notification that he had appointed Demont playing manager, President Kavanaugh spent yes- terday afternoon studying the Southern league constitution and bylaws.
 At the conclusion of his labors he said that he could find nothing in Frank s action that was illegal
 Any club has a right to sign a playing manager and according to the rules but half his salary counts in the limit said he. MT. Frank notified me that he had released Brooks to Dayton, O., and signed Barr. With half of Denont's salary elin- mated this keeps New Orleans within the limit.
 However, as MT. Frank is no longer manager he will not be allowed to sit on the bench with his team during champions ship games.'

bout July 4, net even s25o.0oo. st will be the biggest bunch of skads ever turned loose In return for couple of hours entertainment. That the amount will be much greater than lp either of the fights tabulated above, 1t Is con sidered certain. And this goes to show that there is more interest in the com ing bout than in any previous fistic engagement.
 In view of this fact, you might ask what will happen to the fight game after July 4?
 As a proposition of worldwide in terest, I predict that lighting is doomed after July 4. 1t matters little who wins
 With Jeffries the winner he will re- tire again, and the interest of his fol. lowing will drop to nil
