etlorfty that the baseball being

leagues is the same ball as was in use
last year, except that its inperfections
We're mastered.
Close study of the box scores from
day to day will show that our conten-
ton to the effect that the big scores
resulted more from the lack of condi-
ton of the pitchers, rather than from
the extra livellness of the ball. is quite
correct. Yesterday the contests gener-
ally were short and snappy If it were

change from day to day in the charac-

tricks. Uncle agreed to a match, be-

With the ultimatum that the fight must

The 1ronsides will not be able to play
at West Side Oval Sunday morning, but
will meet the 1Armory A.. e. at that
time on Parkview Oval. The Ironsides
will play on these grounds every Sun
day morning hereafter.
II had been said that the, Bay View
Nheelmen, as soon as they get suffici-
ent leases, would play Sunday morn
ings at West Side Oval. but. today it
was learned that they would play every
Sunday morning at Electric Park
stadium. This has been a merry battle
between the fronsides AND 'Wheelmen,
equally as bitter as any ofttheir base
ball and basketball series.

Jack johnson was discharged by "a
New York magistrate yesterday, the
latter agreeing with Jack that he is
the subject of persecution. There is
not any doubt about Rohnson's asser-
tons. Thousands are guilty of the
same trivial offenses daily, but. they
are mot, Jack Johnson and are un-
molested. A,.
Sailor. Davis Is training hard for
tNp ulatthes he has on FOR next week.
Monday night he meets SONS good boy

stltnte. The following night Sailor will

Smith in, a. ten-roufd main bout.

McGraw must think other managers
ali dummies according to the reported
trades of players he suggests. "Dau
bert for Merkie and the fast slipping
Deylinn is certainly an insult to the
intelligence of Mr.. Ebbetts. Daubert
is a greater. baseball asset than any
two of McGraw's best men except
Matty.
That ST. Benedict 'fPrep1s baseball
team is certainly q corker. They are
the Roehesters of local schoolboy
composition. Why wouldn't the game
between that team and the horne
school with Salmon pitching be
good local game: IL could easily oe
arranged.
0ne-Round logan will surely be put
to a test with Cy Smith next Monday
night. Cy is a. terrific fighter, who
keeps going all the time. Hogan's
showing with the Jersey boy will de-
termine his standing in the pugilistic
world, for Smith is a good triai-horse,
being a good secend-rate heavy light
weight.
