ARMY AND NAVY NOTES
Assistant Surgeon Robnett Ap-
plies for Old Place.
fFron The Tribune Bureau.]

!
ECHO OF BOSTON COURT MARTIAL
Passed Assistant Surgeon A. h Roonett'
one of two officers tried some weeks ago
| al the Boston Navy Yard for handling
roughly and using strong language over the
telephone to a Boston physician whose
presence at a public function at the navy
yard was not desired by some of the Off
GERS there, has applied for restoration 10
his former position on the list of off1cers
of the medical corps The other officer VINO
was tried Paymaster George P. Aud. was
acquitted, but Surgeon Robnett suffered the
loss of four numbers. He has now placed
the Navy Department in possession OF some
additional facts considered by him ana
his friends TO constitute mitigating circum-
stances. The original claim in behalf OF
these officers was that they had been pun
ished once and could not be subjected 10
further punishment. which claim was based
on the fact that they had been 'puolicly
reprimanded The court held that the rep
rimand was a private reprmand ana dlo
not constitute a punishment to an extent
which relieved them from trial by court
martial The Navy Department has refused
to consider the additional information but
the naval authorities are inclined to take
notice of the fact that the public repri-
mand was really administered in the case
of Robnett.
1t appears that the Secretary of the Navy
sent to Robnett a letter in terms which left
nc doubt that it was a reprimand. This
letter passed through all the official chan
nels and was made a part of the officer s
record in the Bureau of Navigation. It
stands against him whenever he comes up
for promotion whenever there is any
occasion to consult his record. More than
this, the reprmard was given out by some
one to the Boston newspapers and was
quoted in all the newspapers of the country
1t had all the elements of publicity For
this reason it is considered that there is
a chance that Surgeon Robnett will be re-
stored to his former position, and in this
connection the Navy Department is con-
templating a revision of the naval regula-
tions so as to define in accurate way
the distinction between public and a pri-
vate reprimand that there may be no fur
ther confusion and trouble on this score.
NEW PAYMASTER GENERAB.-It was
announced at the Navy Department to-day
that CAPTAIN T. J. Cowie, of the pay corps.
will be appointed Paymaster General in
the retirement of that official, which imme-
diately will follow the passage of the pend
ing naval appropriation bill. The passage
of that bill N its present form will enable
the Paymaster General to retire with the
rank and pay of a rear admiral

Jeff-Johnson
Match EnthrallS
Minds of Sports
Fourth Of July Battle Subject Of
Comment in Every City Of
Continent.

NEW YORK. April 16-Interest IN the
coming heavyweight championship battle
between James j. Jeffries and Jack
Johnson Is bound TO increase, and It's no
wonder that the contest has become the
sole topic OF conversation in all Of the
cafes. clubs. hotels and restaurants The
encouraging reports received from Jsffries'
training camp telling OF his good physical
condition and showing the earnestness
which he is taking in his work have added
greatly to his following.
At the various athletic clubs in this city
the chances OF both Jeffries and johnson
are the subject OF endless debate. It is at
these places that the Jeffries contingent
makes it's strong showing.
The great army OF doubters who could
not be convinced that the big fellows would
ever meet have been won over and at pres
ent there are few who believe that the
fight is not to be on the level.
At one Of the prominent clubs the fight
was being discussed by men who are
looked upon as authorities and who have
made arrangements to make the trip to
Emeryville. The discussion was a general
one and was on the relative chances Of
the Californian and the negro. One man,
who is well known to the sporting world
was asked for his opinion on the chances
OF a "frameup" The questioner told of
having heard a rumor to the effect that
the fight 10 to go ten rounds for the pic
ture end. and that johnson is to get a
fortune to lay down to the white man.
There is absolutely nothing to that
dope" was the answer. ''The fight is to
be on the level. Jeffries may win in ten
rounds, but If he does he will have TO be
the better man. Johnson wouldn't think
Of purposely losing this fight for any
amount of money. He is too wise for
that. OF course, he wants big money, but
he knows that he can make 100 times more
by winning than he could get by laying
down. Johnson is going to try to win, and
he is going to try harder than he ever
tried before in his life"

pulled his hand away. Mr.. Berry, you
should have been the fighter instead Of
Jeffrics. You have hands like giant

"Jim ~ pestered by eli kinds Of cranks.
and large bundles Of letters reach his place
Of business every day. Jack tries to an

the notes are hardly worthy OF notice.
Jim doesn't care whether the postal trains
run or not. Whenever he has any business
to attend to he uses the telegraph wires.
Fitzpatrick ON johnson.
-And here some more good live dope
from Frisco" continued Kelly II met Sam
Fitzpatrick, Johnson's old manager. on the
coast Sam has no interest in the coming
fight and will not make a dollar out Of Il
on account OF the shabby manner IN which
johnson treated him. Sam says that II he
had remained manager OF johnson the
negro would never have fought JEFF. Sam
told me that Tommy Burns gave johnson
such a beating in Australia that on the
night after the fight johnson went TO the
hospital with several broken ribs and was
IN bed for some time. Burns. instead Of
waiting for johnson to lead, waded right
in" said Fitz. "and that's where he made a
mistake johnson only led twice and on
both occasions almost fell out of the ring.
"Fitz does not think johnson has
chance in the world to beat Jeffries. Fitz
thinks that Burns lost to Johnson because
Burns became 80 excited that he wanted
to slug johnson before the men got into the
ring. Fitz told me that Johnson is a lag
ger, and his opponent must bring the fight
to him. He is a bum offensive fighter. He
cannot lead and hit any one- who is a bit
clever. An aggressive fighter viii whip
johnson II he is not handicapped too much
like poor Stanley Ketchel Even at that
Ketchel would have had a chance had he
let johnson do the leading"
What is Fitpatrick's opinion Of John
son compared with the fighters of other
dRysT' was another question asked Kelly.
''Fitz, like myself, thinks that Johnson
would have been beaten to death by such
clever ring generals as Tommy Ryan. KID
Mccoy, Tomnlie West, Joe wolcott and
men Of that stripe. Johnson is hailed as
king only because there is a painful lack
OF good material ON hand He has never
been put through the mill or stood the test
like Jeffries. When you stop to consider
that Jeffries whipped Jim Corbett and Bob
twice and won decision over
Tom sharlSey, one of the most rugged
fighters that ever lived, you can see that
Jim Jeffries never had an equal. and per-
haps will never know defeat as long as he
aspires to championship honors."

salary List.

While the dividends Of the Giants are said
to be 80 per cent year, and those OF some
Of the other clubs approximate this rate
the cost of base ball is tremendous. The
salary list of the players in the major and
minor leagues has been affirmed recently
by an authority to be S5.OO0OOO a year. BY
little calculation fair estimate OF the
salary list OF the major leagues has been
made The sixteen teams in these leagues
are limited to twenty-five men each The
salaries range from $500 to $4,000 The
average salary is 5000 Ergo, twenty five
players times sixteen clubs times 5000 il
