purple and black; the gorgeous pink silk
stockings of the Queens coachman, and
the wonderful green plume on the Duke
of Aosta's hat in grotesque juxtaposi-
ton with the stern profile of the Kaiser,
and the ruddv, boyish face of England's
next king. But when we reached Slaugh
and saw the towers of Windsor with
the flag at halfmast against the soft
afternoon sky, and realized that the ser
vices there must now be over, two
pictures stood out clearly: that heap of
cleaning satin surmounted with the
flashing emblems of royalty, and the
sweet, sad face of the Queen Mother,
silently acknowledging the silent SYM
pathy of the black-hued throngs.

LeClair Says Jack
Was to Lay Down,

Boston, July 25.-'Jeffries confident
ly expected that Jack Johnson would
lie down in the eighth round when he
signed the articles of agreement, and
was of the opinion that the matter
had been satisfactorily settled all
along" says Billy Leclair, the we'll
known timekeeper of the Armory A.
A, who has just returned from the
coast.
He did not know that the plans mad
failed to go through until the night pc
fore the fight, according to one of my
informers, while another said that he
heard of it just before he entered the
ring. At any rate, he was not the same
old Jeff in the ring that he mad dp-
peared to be during the training perl
cd. He seemed to have withered away
during night. The news of the fail
ure, coming just before the affair was
to take place completely unnerved him,
and nervous breakdown was the re-
suit.
These friends of Jeffries informed
me that he was told TO go ahead and
sign the articles, as it was agreed that
the Texan would quit to him, and con-
ing period was one of appearance only,
He did lot of work of one kind or
another, and some wrestling, but he
was far from being physically fit to
do himself justice.
"Jeffries was thunderstruck when
informed the day before the fight that
the plans Lad failed to go through and
after passing a sleepless night was
compelled to go in and do the best he
could under the circumstances
"One of my friends in Los Angeles
told me that he had lost S21 900 on the
fight and that Jeff had told him but
the day before to place his money.
THE fight was farce and would
have brought them d tough reception
had they fought in Boston, for the
public would have insisted that they
be thrown out of the ring. But l GER
tainlv enjoyed the trip immensely and
never had such thoroughly enjoy
able time iii my life

George Fluff, athletic director of the
University of Illinois and the chief
scout of the Cubs during the scouting
season, is of the firm conviction that
the conference colleges ought to allow
college men to play baseball during the
summer months. There is nothing
wrong about sanctioning young fel-
low making an honest living to help
him through school.
AS a result of stories rejecting on his
integrity as president of the Pittsburg
Nationals Barney Dreyfuss has de-
nianded an investigation of the charge
that he paid fat bonuses to his players
for winning the pennant last year. AT
ter conference with President Lynch
and after having gained some knowl-
edge OF the matter, Gerry Hermann
chairman of the National Commission,
granted the request and ordered an in
