IN Happenings SPortdom

Sam Langford and Sam McVey, two
dusky heavyweights from this side. Will
settle an old grudge before Hugh McIn-
tosh's club in Paris, France, tonight. The
sand-dollar side bet. McVey fought any
number Of twenty-round draws with Jack
Johnson when the latter was second rater.
For several years he has been in Paris.
where he is a hero, because OF his nu-
merous victories over a lot of fighters
who never amounted to much on this
side.
Langford will have four or five inches
the worse OF the height and about forty
pounds the worse Of the weight, but the
wise men figure that he will win by tie
Knockout route. Many. in fact, expect
to see McVey show the white feather as
two of Langford's terrific punches.
Mcintosh expects a crowd Of 10000, at
prices ranging from s. to s25.
While there has been no official con-
firmation. the rumor that the hall the
major league clubs are to play with this
season Will be considerably livelier this
year than heretofore will not down.
That a livelier ball will increase the
batting stands to reason, but for a time
at least it is very apt to have a detri-
mental effect on the fielding. All the
teams are practcing with the balls in
use last year, and as these are not as
be- the bounds of the latter are sure to
be quite different and it will take some
time to accustOm the fielders to these.
This. of course. applies to the infielders,
for the outfielderS will hardly find any
difference in the course of the fly balls.
Fred Tenney. manager of the Boston
Nationals, expects to pick up an almost
entirely new team when the other seven
clubs of his league start to cut loose their
superfiuous material before the season
opens. Tenney has kept line on all the
youngsters being tried out by his rival
teams. and he believes that he will get
five or six men who will strengthen his
team in this manner.
1t is estimated that the other seven
clubs will place about one hundred play
crs on the market within the next two
weeks. and as Tenney has had his scouts
looking over these players he should have
a fairly. good line on them, SO that he
can make intelligent selections.

the United States Army. arrived in
Richmond yesterday for his triennial
visit here in search of recruits for the
service. The sergeant is looking for a

tween male and female. Eight cases
of typhoid fever were reported, and

bout of the card, got into the city
Friday, and went at once to ar
range for his final training. Anderson
claims he is feeling fine, and will put

with a newspaper decision. Anderson,
together with some of the local fight

CHAUTAUQUA WILL
CLEAR EXPENSES

The opinion is now being generally
entertained by those in charge of the
Chautauqua, that the affair this year
will probably pay for itself. Although
this is not certain yet. c. w. Jordan.

says that if the weather continues fair
on the closing day, so that large at
tendance will be registered, enough
tickets should be sold to make up the
slight deficit now existing.
Probably as much money has been
taken in already as in past seasons,
but the increased cost of the program
this year has made the finances run
close to the limit.
