HAMILTON FEATURE
FLYER AT MEETING
The Herald's Bird Man
Beats All of Them at San
Antonio Meeting.

The Herald man bird is making bet
ter than good over San Antonio way
With Glen Curtiss and Charles Willard
on the job for the carnival aviation
meeting. Hamilton in his golden biplane
has been the sensation Of the week
Wednesday he got away to flying
start and went up in the air 500 feet,
circled around the field and made his
famous Hamilton glide to earth, the feat
which has placed him in class by him
self among aviators as the most dar-
ing of a daring crowd Of men.
1t was the opening day of the car
niyal and the crowds were more anx-
5ous to see Hamilton and his glide than
they were to see Curtiss, who built the
red haired boys machine
In addition to Hamilton's flights,
Thomas S. Baldwin made a flight in his
dirigible balloon and Curtiss and Will
lard made short flights although their
machines were not working we'll
Hamilton Will be the feature Of the
carnival week at San Antonio and his
pictures are appearing in the San An
tonic papers each day.

PRIZE FIGHTS OUT LAWED IN THE CITY
Of MEXICO; BOXING CAN CONTINUE

Prize fights are outlawed in the City
of Mexico and me federal district, but
boxing matches purely for sportsman
ship are not excluded under the ban
which the governor OF the district,
Guillermo Landa Y Escandon, has placed
on prize fighting. Speaking of his de-
termination to permit no more prize
fights in the federal district Mr.. Landa
Escandon said in substance:
1T is against the brutality and not
the physical development and skill
that l am opposed Prize fights are
brutal and l have absolutely and finally
decided that no more shall take place in
the federal district.
BY prize fights I mean those exhi-
billions of brutality where two men
pound each other numerically for a
purse of money 1 have no objection to
short purely sporting bouts where no
stakes are put.
El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1910-04-21

There is no objection to boxing
classes being given. and where the ex-
hibition is brief and can be assured
that it is not q money making arrange
ment or that brutality will not be in
dulged in, I w.l have no objection
whatever to the exhibit
Mr.. Landa Escondon stated that
he would equally oppose jiu jitsu and
wrestling matches if excitement and
interest in them should become such
that obvious brutality began to enter
into the exhibitions and If actual in
jury to participants should result
However" he said, whatever bru-
tally there may be in wrestling and
jiu-jitsu, it is not apparent to the on
lockers. There is a wide difference be-
tween these and sparring wherein two
persons stand up and pound each other
as nearly as possible 10 a pulp"

JOHNSON WANTS J.
WALSH AS REFEREE:
Big Jim Jeffries Says 1t
Doesn't Make Any Diff
ference With Him

Chicago, Ill, April 21-Jack Johnson
wants Jack Welsh, of California, to
referee the big fight at Emeryville,
July 4. He has announced so, and has
also shown much wrath at reports that
ne is not training properly.
L favor Welsh" he said, because I
know he is on the square and will give
me an even break, which Is all 1 ask.
He IS native son and 1 see no reason
why Jeffries should not accept him.
Jack Johnson will be ready TO put
on the battle of his life on July 4.
trained for the Burns fight in five
weeks and 1 have never been in as
good shape as 1 was then. 1 certainly
ought to be able to get into condition
LOT Jeffries in seven or eight weeks.
NO one is better judge of my condi-
ton than 1 am, and as soon as 1 get
10 the stage where 1 don't know how
10 train, L intend to quit the game"
Ben Lomond. Cal, April 21.-On be-
ing informed that Johnson had chosen
JACK Welsh as referee, Jeffries said:
don't believe I've given the referee
question moments thought so far
Any or the names suggested would be
agreeable to me. The selection of the
referee will be in Berger's hands Per
sonally, 1 don't care much who the
third man is, so long as he thoroughly
understands the game"

Il have watched the big fellow pre-
pare for nearly all his important fights
on the coast" said Ewing, land
doubt II he ever has looked a bit bet
ter than he does today 1 have bet on
him every time he started and ii looks
as though I would have to do so again.
Jeffries in his training is showing
little inclination to box. He'd rather
rough it. Following his three rounds
with Bob Armstrong yesterday, Jeff
ries remarked that he preferred Is
rounds Of fast fighting to two rounds
of sparring. This penchant Of the big
fighter for heavy work brings up the
question of whether his training OPP
ponents are husky enough to face Jeff
ries.

Ben Lomond. Caid.. April 21.-At last
Jeffries is at it Yesterday he went
three lively rounds with big, black Bob
Armstrong and did all mis- training
stunts as well. Jeff seemed anxious to
make UP for his lost time Tuesday, and
he did ii. The old left jab seemed TO be
coming back, and steam siZZled from
every blow
Later in the day Jeff and Billy Papke
took shovel and pick and labored with
the workmeu who are constructing the
camp swimming pool. Manager Ber-
ger is expected today with Joe Choy-
niski, whom he went TO meet at San
Francisco. Carl Ewing, former Coast

THE BIG LEAGUES USE
10000 BALLS A YEAR

3 Twenty Thousand balls are
used annually by the major
5 league clubs during the training
trips and championship cam
paignS. John Arnold Heydler, .
secretary of the Ma
; tional league. reports that last
year the teams in his org2niZa-
> ton called on the manufacturers
to furnish them with 500 dozen
, spheres. The Cincinnati Reds
used the most balls, and then
came the Pittsbarg Pirates, the
Chicago Cubs, the New York
Giants, the Phiilies. the Boston
Doves. the Brooklyn Superbas
and the 81. Louis Cardinals.
The watchdog of the National
league treasury will not tell
: what price the clubs pay for the
official balls, but one closely as
sociated with one of the manu-
, facturers iEsinuates that persons
who guess that a major league
club spends about $1,000 year
for spheres are not far out of
the way. Each ball, therefore,
costs probably so cents. The
price of the spheres varies from
, year TO year.
