<fV HERE will be no boxing in my

precinct" Captain Brown, OF
the Second Precinct, told the
writer today 1t is understood that the
other captains have been given instruc-
tions as Captain Brown was, and will
act accordingly in dealing with clubs
that would resume boxing in the fall.
This practically means that there will
be no boxing, except at Troxlers Cen
tral Institute, which is a physical cul-
ture school, in this city this year. Some
of those who conducted boxing clubs
recently were planning to reopen their
clubs in the fall, but 1t is understood,
in spite of the rumors to the contrary,
that the police win keep the lid down
as tightly as they now have it.
The Municipal Clubs officers are to
meet Sunday morning to take action
one way or another as to whether the
club will be continued or not. If box
ing can be held it will be continued.
If not, it viii be disbanded. At this
stage the understanding is that there
will be no boxing and that the club will
give up the ghost. Some of those be-
hind the yendome Club, it is said, We're
planning to combine the organizations
to hold big bouts in the Kruger Audi
torium. The organization would prob
ably have been put through IL boxing
had been allowed, but they would have
had to find another hall to hold the
bouts, as kruegers is closed to boxing
matches by the management for good
and all. Unless there is a change in
the attitude of the police boxing bouts
have small chance.

at Billy Lear's gymnasium in Bloom

Tom Messenger. it is said, has an
nounced that he is going to send Carl
Healy against frankie Burns if the
Vendome Club opens next month. If
such match as that just now won't
furnish evidence that Carl is the vic-
tim of an over-anxious manager We
give up. It's far better to let the fine
and excellent Carl develop more. Look
how long the good boys have fought
before they got to the top. We hope,
for Healey's sake-and Carl is great
boy-the match won't be made for
next month.

To the Sporting Editor OF the Evening Star
Please settle the following bet In
last Saturdays game between South
rrvington and Irvington there was a
runner on third base. The coacher ON
the third base line ran toward home
and the pitcher who had started to de-
liver the ball to the batter and could
not stop, as it would be d ball<, threw
to the batter The umpire called the
runner on third base out. A bets that
the umpire's decision was right; B
bets the umpire was wrong Who is
right, A or b? Yours very truly.
AN IRVINGTON FAN.
Section Is of rule 56 is the only one
we can find that covers the power of
an umpire in calling out a base-run-
ner for the coacher's trick of running
along the third base line pretending
that he is the runner. 1t is as follows
IT, while third base is occupied, the
coacher stationed near that base shall
run in the direction of home base on
or near the base line while a fielder is
making, or trying to make, play on
a batted ball not caught on the fly or
on a thrown ball, and thereby draws a
throw TO some base, the base-runner
entitled to third base shall be declared
out by the umpire for the coachers
Interference with or prevention of the
legitimate play. A careful reading of
that rule is surely evidence enough thar
the umpire was incorrect in his deci-
sion.-Ed.

Why Jesse Mercer Hates Watson

A FEW years ago, Jesse Mercer ct al. organ
lied joint-stock company, and were compla-
Gently proceeding to suozzoac the assets of the
Boyd estate. The Supreme Court of Georgia
never saw a more shameful record than that
which denounced, for few minutes, during
the winter of 1907 1t contained the evidence
against Jesse Mercer ct al.
Jesse's lawyer realized what I would do to
him and his pals, If that record acent before q
Jury IN the Superior Court.
Therefore they came over to Thomson
shortly afterwards, to talk settlement"
The heirs got their money, and Jesse Mercer
got q perpetual crouch.
That's all right, Jesse: abuse me as much
as you like in your little Fitzgerald paper,
and misrepresent the Lee Barron Walker
matter to your hearts content.
It's pity that such man as you should
bear such an honored name.
But many "George Washington" steals
hogs; and you tried mighty hard to act on
the same lack of principle IN the manage
ment Of the Boyd estate.
No charges were made by me against Lee
Barron, Capt. A. M. Walker took the initia-
tive in writing to me; and he voluntarily
offered ammunition against the =. G. bunch.
OF course, / then asked for it.
If he hadn't lost his head when Speaker
Holder gave out my letter, we might have had
a searching investigation into the enormous
expense of the care-take of that one building
in Atlanta.
If I'm alive when Joe Hill Hall and Ran
dolph Anderson run for Congress, | intend to
