Special Dispatch to The Star.
FORT WASHINGTON. Md, July 10
The 44th Company gave the 18th Com
pany the worst drubbing yesterday that
they have yet had this season. The 18th
Company team has usually been a STUN
bling block to the 44th when Brostrom
toed the rubber, but in this instance he
had an off day. and the 44th Company s
sluggers tore loose with their war clubs,
and singles. doubles and triples went
sailing all over the ball yard. Upon in
vestigation after the smoke cleared away
it was discovered that the score card
registered twenty hits, three triples. four
doubles and thirteen singles and, by the
way. twenty runs.
Young Hickey pitched his first COM
plete game against the 18th and had
them at his mercy throughout He al
lowed but three scattered hits. and while
there were four errors made behind him,
there were but two occurrences where
two men were on base at the same time.
While not occupied in sending his slants
across the pan he utilized his spare time
by getting three doubles, a single and,
incidentally, four runs out of five times

PITTSBURG, July 13.-Surveys have
been made Of Luna Park, this city, for a
new base ball park. 1t is suggested the
American Association is backing the pro-
.ject. John A. Sharp, who has the prop
erty in charge, said the proposed buyers
had already expended $3.50 on surveys,
which included base ball diamond.
Luna Park is situated just as centrally
as Forbes Field and is passed by the
Pennsylvania and Baltimore and Ohio
railroads, and the story goes that both
railroads have been approached by the
proposed buyers and have agreed to put
in sidings for passenger traffic to the new
field A gentleman interested in base
ball said he was recently approached by
a moneyed man who proposed to him to
accept the management of the venture.
The project was to reorganize the Ameri-
can Association and to organize cir
cult comprising the following cities: Chi
cago, Cincinnati, Cleveland Frttsburg.
Toledo. Columbus, indianapolis and
Louisville.
1t was pointed out by the promoters
that railroad fares saved on this circuit
would go far toward paying salaries, and
the schedule would be made out so that
no club would have more than six hours
jump 1t was proposed to eliminate
Kansas City, St. Paul, Minneapolis
and milwaukee, because they are too far
west, and to organize a new western
league for these clubs
This project was not to go into effect
until 1912. .ur Short, who has the sale
of Luna Park. said that he could not give
the names of those heading the project,
but one of these was from Milwaukee.
Later information connected the name
Of Charles s. Havenor, owner of the Mil
waukee club, as being back OF the prof.
est Havenor last January purchased
a large plot of ground in Chicago which
he gave out was for speculative purposes

Both Niles and Dabney made a dashing

lobbing, which finally tired out the Har-

IF Jeanette and Langford will fight to

m:nation As Jeanette is anxious to
fight Langford, it Is thought that they
will come together in the near future as
Langford by winning could further en-
phasize his right to a match with the
heavyweight champion. But even then
Johnson might tell Langford to take
fall out Of Kaufman. On the face of 1t
Johnson seems to have much respect in
wardly for the Boston Tar Baby.
If the citizens of Reno have any say in
the matter prizef1ghtinS in Nevada will

Burns and Langford on Labor day. If
they come together the purse will be not
less than $4,000 and fortyflve rounds

NEW YORK, July 13-"Jeffries was

serious errors. First he should not have

himself Physically Jeffries was the
negro's superior, but otherwise he was
iitiful object.
Jim Corbett insists that Jeffries was
suffering from nervous prostration when
he entered the ring-a result OF worry.
greatly annoyed when he saw his old
trainer Billy Delaney, in Johnson's cor
ner. COrbett doesn't say that Jeffries
lacked gameness. but he hints chat the
big fellows old nerve wasn't there.
Meanwhile it may be said that William
A. Brady. who managed Jeffries when the
latter won the title from Fitzsimmons,
said year ago that Jeffries retired after
beating Munroe solely because of a con-
slant fear Of defeat.
JenrieS always worried about his
fights said NJ. Brady. and he was NOR
tally afraid of being beaten. He told me
fore defeat might come his wsy. If he
fights Johnson jeff will worry a whole

ment that Delaney several years ago in

JeRries' Mistake.

If Jenrles had placed himself, in the
care of Delaney. Muldoon thinks the re
suit Of the big fight might have been diff
ferent. Delaney's grievance against JEFF
fries appeared to be we'll founded. Hav-
ing groomed Jeffries into championship
form, Delaney wanted him to take the
first crack at Bill Squires of Australia
coast more than two years ago. Jeffries,
however. refused and also scored Delaney
for expressing such desire. When
johnson beat Burns, however, and JEFF
fries decided to come out of retirement
Delaney confident that he would be the
boiermaker's manager, was suddenly
shocked when informed that Jeffries
didn't want him around" Delaney
naturally boiled within when he saw
Sam Berger. mere novice handling
Jeff's affairs, and. incidentally, cutting
a good slice from the revenue that poured
into the big fellows Golfers.
AS the break between Jeffries and De-
laney widened mutual friends deplored
the fact, for it was generally admitted
that Delaney was the only trainer capa-
BILE of putting Jeffres into proper physi-
cal condition. Lelaney knew just how
to reduce the boilermakers weight with
out sapping his vitality. but Jeffries.
quarters Corbett admits that when he
saw Jeffries in this city last year for the
first time the latter weighed 300 pounds
and that within twelve months Jeffries
tried to take off eighty pounds. He had
his own ideas about reducing, but he
might have Jared better with Delaney at
the helm.

What Delaney Said.

Delaney told me-" said ORourke yes
terday, that Jeffries wanted to quit in
the fifth round of his first fight with Fitz-
simmons and again in the eighteenth
round of his battle with Sharkey al Coney
Island. Delaney also told me that if JEFF
fries ever met man his own size and
weight who could fight better than the
average he would be defeated. | remem-
Der when Jeffries boxed in this city for
the first time more than ten years ago.
He couldn't stop Armstrong in ten rounds,
and then didn't have nerve enough to
meet poor old Steve O'Donnell the same
night ] told him that little George Dixon
had knocked ODonnell out, but that made
TO difference. Jeffries, who said his
thumb was hurt. refused to fight, and in
so doing he made me believe he didn't
have the right sort of nerve.
From that time l always insisted that
Jeffries was greatly overrated. He licked
Fitzsimmons because the latter was fifty
pounds lighter and was overconfident.
Corbett wasn't strong enough for him
and Sharkey was forty pounds lighter.
Johnson therefore was the first man of
Jeff's size the latter ever met, and as soon
as jeff found that he was up against it he
lost confidence in himself. AS a matter of
fact Jeffries never saw the day he could
beat this black man.

Kaufman Has Chance.

man who has a chance with johnson.
and IL they fight in a years time De-
laney's pupil will be worth bet. Kauf-
man is young. game, superbly built and
is a natural fighter His chief fault is
slowness, which Delaney will rectify in
time.
Persons who are making a howl about
the moving pictures of the Reno fight be-
cause the negro won evidently forget that
other colored men have held ring titles.
George Dixon, Joe Cans and Joe Walcott
were feather, light and welter weight
champions, respectively, but nobody in
sportdom ever objected to their color.
There would have been another black
champion of the world perhaps IL John
l.. Sullivan had tried conclusions with
Peter Jackson, the Australian negro. Ar
ticles were signed for a fight on the
coast, it will be remembered, but the
fight was Cancelled.
johnson knows how to behave him
self. He's big, overgrown boy. His be-
havior from the time he signed articles
with Jeffries was anything but offensive.
He abused nobody and kept free from
certain elements

JAPANESE RED LATEST VOGUE
London's New Fancy in Color Is Used
for Whole Garments and for
Trimming.

japanese red is the latest color in
vogue in London and touch of 1t is
used in almost all articles of women's
dress.
1t is a dull shade of red and is more
effective when used in trimming than
in a whole garment Goats of 1t aud
a few gowns have been seen, but for
the most part 1t has made Its appear
ance on black hats, as piping for
dresses, or in some of the oriental en-
broideries on evening gowns.
Fur muffs and stoles are often
lined with it, and some of these are
piped with the new color or have
bands of It inset. For London the
Japanese red is distinctly appropriate
in the dull days of winter. as it makes
bright spot of color in the midst of
the gray atmosphere.
