New York, Jan. IAN application has
been made at the patent offos for a
patent on a baseball bat which promises
to solve the problem that is bothering
the baseball world at the present time by
increasing The interest and popularity Of
the national game. The two principal ad-
vantages which are claimed are:

In every department Of the game Of
baseball Improvements have been made
since its inception except in the matter
of the bat, which is now practically what
it was in the beginning. Several promi-
nent baseball players have expressed
favorable opinions Of his bat, and as

Bill Brady, Who POted White Man to the Championship Says
Californian Can Come Back, but Result of Fight
Depends On Who Does the Leading.

New York, Jan. 1j.-Wiliam A. Brady,
who rose from the Office of a hustler on
a train to that of one of the leading the
atricaI managers of the day, using as
his stepping stone TO fame and fortune
the managerial berth Of manager Of two
worlds heavyweight champions, has
spoken and given an opinion on the out
come Of the meeting next Fourth Of July
between Jim Jeffries and Jack Johnson
Physical culture experts, night managers,
and everybody almost whose names ap-
peared in a sporting page at one time or
another have had their little say, but
none were so lucid in their deductions as
Is Brady. He is one who knows a fighter
from his shoe laces to the last hair on
his head. He saw Jim Jeffries when the
latter was only a sparring partner 70
Jim Corbett. and was the first to pick
the big fellow out as the coming cham
pion. But, anyway, here is what Billy
says OF the two men:
1.-THE talk about Jeff not being able to
Jack johnson is ridiculous. Jefr has a
better chance to come back than Cor
bett did and the latter surely came
back when he Travelled tWenty-three
rounds with Jeffries at Coney Island
three years after he was knocked stiff
by Fitz at Carson City.
Eighteen months before Corbett met
Jeffries he was pronounced all in by the
shrewdest judges Of the tlstic game IN
New York. Corbett had been running a
thirst parlOr in the TendeTlOn for sew
eral years and going all the gaits. Not
even his best friends thought he could
come back, but he gave JEFF the tight OF
his life
Now. If Corbett could get into condi-
tion there is no reason in the world why
Jeffries who never dssipated much,
can't regain physical perfection. He's
