GIBBONS DECIDES TO
 JOIN MIDDLEWEIGHT CLASS
Will Box McGoorty in New York to
 Decide Supremacy.

Chicago, Aug. 23. - At last Mike Gibbons is to enter the ranks of the middleWeights. The St. Paul phe- nom has signed to meet Eddie Me- Goorty in a scheduled ten-round bout at St. Nicholas Rink, New York, Sept. 25. The middleweight bout will take the place of the Johnson eannette encounter, which was called off after the New York Boxing Commission an- nounced their refusal to let the negro champion perform in the Empire State.
 According to Manager Marty For kins McGoorty will make 156 pounds at o'clock for Gibbons That will be a pretty fine squeeze for the Osh- kosh star, but he claims that he can get that low and be strong.
 McGoorty has been recognized as the leading contender for middle weight titular honors-that is, with Gibbons left out of the reckoning. The latter is not able to make the Welter- weight limit, but has insisted on call ing himself welter. He has con fined his opponents to welterweights and fifth rate light middleweights against thls class of boxers he has shown wonderful class. Whether he can do as we'll against a full-fledged middleweight of McGoorty's ability is the question the fans are anxious to see settled.
 McGoorty started training yesterday for his bout with Australian Dave Smith, to be staged at New York on Labor Day.

FINN SHIPPED TO ROCHESTER CLUB
 BY HIGHLANDERS

A shake up in the ranks of the New York Highlanders is coming. The axe fell yesterday when Guy Finn, the out fielder who has been a regular prac- tically all season, was sold outright to the Rochester club.

MANY RING BATTLES LOST
 IN THE THIRTEENTH ROUND

Tommy Burns one time heavyweight champion of the world has again got into the limelight by his threat to come back and wipe up the earth with the present crop of white hopes" If his showing against Joe Rici<ard affords any criterion, there are many fight fans who believe that the clever Canadian is equal to the job. Burns was never quite big enough to cope with the gem men of color who now lead the heavyweight division but at his best he could probably have whip ped any two of the present Caucasion heavies such as Palzer, Mccarthy and Morris and Btimba rdfeF Wells. Burns, who is a native of Ontario. and whose real name is Ndah Brusso is now in his thirty second year. and is thus nearly three years younger than Jack Johnson. It was four years ago today that the Canadian fought his third battle with Bill Squires. the Austra- Han hope. The previous year, in San Francisco. Burns knocked out the An tipodes lemon sin the first round. About a year later in France. it took Tom my rounds to put Squires away. Burns then went to- Australia. and on Aug. A, 19Osa' he again mingled with Squires. knocking him ,sout in the hoo doc" thirteenth round, About four months later Tommy went up against Jack Johnson and lost his tag but got away with d young fortune. Since then he has been spending most of his time in Western Canada.
 Many big ring battles besides the Burns -Squires affair have been decided in the thirteenth round. In 1891 Bob Fitzsimmons took the midd1eweight title from Jack Dempsey in the tlir- teenth round. at New Orleans That was .when the "l1oodooS was lucky for Bob. but i11a 1905. he attempted to s'come back against Philadelphia Jack O'Brien. the freekled fellow was knocked out in aflirteen innings.

MACK STARTING TO BUILD UP NEW,
 ATHLETIC MACHINE

From Philadelphia comes the start ling news that Connie Mack has aban- doned hope of winning the American League pennant this year, which means, of course, that he will get 10 work at once strengthening his team for another season. Scouts who are on the road looking up material for the other teams will have to get down to hard work, for when Mack begins to repair his baseball fences he gets right. after almost every promising young player in the country. Many a time a big league scout has toured the smaller circuits only to find that every man of any promise was al- ready pledged to the hustling man. ager of the Athletics,
 Some of Mack's scouts are well known around the circuit, but there are enough in his secret service" to keep the other managers guessing. Owners and managers have com plained bitterly from time to time that Mack picks up stars at less cost than any other manager in either league. This is the fruit of eternal baseball vigilance, and Mack, unlike some managers, needs more space. than he can find on his cuff to keen the list of youngsters on whose ser vices he has options.

MCCOY BOASTS
 BRITISH COURTS.

London, Aug. 24.---"Kid" Mccoy and his wife left, to-day, by the boat train for Southampton to take the American liner St. Louis to New York. f his delight at quitting England the ''Kid'' made no secret His remarks concerning the British magistracy were even less complimentary than what he said of the Belgian police. The latter at least thought they had a case when they asked his extradi- ton, he observed, whereas Sir Alfred DeRutzen, of the Bow street police court admitted all along that he knew they did not and yet persisted in hold ing the American without bail as a mere matter of legal red tape.
 He was not keeping his promise to go to Belgium to aid the police at Ostend in their hunt for the Princess of Thurn and Taxis' lost jewels. he explained, because the people concern ing whose movements he thought he might be able to furnish information now prove not to have been connected with the theft at all.

 Along the line of march, which be- gan at 5th avenue and fist street ana extended down 9th avenue to Wash ington Square, to Broadway and thence the City Hall Park, were mass ed hundreds of thousands of people, men, women and children, all wildly enthusiastic and eager to pay honor to four boys
 The spontaneous cheers of the. vast crowds made a typical New York well come and the plaud1ts of the people on the street made tame by compari- Hall, where Mayor Gaynor bid the athletes welcome and congratulated them on their victory.
 The weather man helped welcome the athletes as fair skies and cooling winds prevailed Eight thousand school children turned out to march with the victors and besides these were delegations from nearly all of the athletic organizations represented by the men who competed at Stock holm.
 Tonight it was planned to entertain the athletes at a banquet in Terrace Garden. Justice Victor Bowling was to be toastmaster. The entertainment of the returned athletes, the last of whom landed two days ago, began last night when the celebration commit tee and their guests attended thea trical performance.
 The athletes rode in automobiles and each vehicle was accompanied by a mounted escort carrying banner upon which was inscribed the names of the occupants of the car.

(By Wagner.l

In the quest for optional agree ment players President O'Rourke has round only one case that looks like a clear violation of the league rules From present indications Gardella of Hartford is caught with the goods. Ine latest list gives notice that the Giants exercise their option to recall the Hartford shortstop for $500.
 It Is probable that there are other optional agreement players in the league. President O'Rourl1e is nor- ally certain about this but 1t will be impossible to prove most of the cases because the players are generally sent to minor leagues by a gentleman S agreement between the major and minor league club owners. It is merely verbal understanding and when no papers are signed there is no way of proving the contention.
 There are suspicious about Pitcher Salmon of Holyoke and Out. fielder Hickey of the same club. It IS said that the Athletics own Salmon and that Cleveland has a string on Hickey. It will be hard to prove any thing in these cases, however.
 President O'Rourke is proceeding slowly in the matter and until he hears from Secretary Bruce of the National Commission will take no &C., ton in the Gardella case.
 Dan O'Neil has come out in favor of the reelection of President O'Rourke of the Connecticut league. This was not much of a surprise in view of the fact that he said to the writer when the $50 fine matter was ai[ed, Even If am sore at O'Rourke I wouldn't vote against him tom morrow.''

 J. Mackay Edgar has tried twice before to win the British internation- al trophy. and this year he thinks he has a fair chance of success. He is rather reticent in telling of the speed than forty nautical miles an hour in her trial race. He admits. too, that the boat was not, then doing her best. hut how much faster she can go he does not care to venture The Maple Leaf is 40 foot boat of the Fauber- Sanders model.

MARSANS CLAIMS INDIAN WAS BEST
 BASEBALL PLAYER

s'I have seen all of the great ball pIayers of the present time,''' says Ar n1ando Marsans, the Cuban outfield- CT formerly of New Britain, now with Cincinnati. T have played against fhe star performers of the National League, have been in post season ser ies against Lajoie and Jackson and have made. trips to see Ty,' Cobb They are wonderful players, but give you my word that the greatest I have ever looked upon was an In dian named Canella, and pOpularly called Cinnamon"
 "Canella was of a strange Indian race that is supposed to be extinct the Siboneys of Cuba, who populated the island when the Spaniards came. The histories and scientific books all say that they are extinct, and it would doubtless be so if it were not for the fact that they still live in eastern Cuba and have a little city of their own. They are all men with ancient Greek faces-nothing but the color of the Indian to make them re- sern ble such men as Meyers and Ben- ner-and they are an athletic people, more agile and active by far than we. Baseball is their own pet diversion, and Eenella, known as Cinnamon, was he greatest of them all.
 "CanelIa, who cannot be more than 2T, even now, came out a few years q of eastern Cuba. He was a pitcher Bnd a star on the slab, but he was nlso a batsman, lightning base run ner and clever -outfielder. The rec ords of six years ago show that Ca nella in some 60 games hit.446 and stole s bases Havana's best clubs went up against him and found him invincib1e, while he turned the tide of his closest games with his own bat ting. Canella, received no offers from the big American leagues; they took it for granted that he was a light colored negro, and when his friends explaianed- that he was Indian, the Americans laughed and said: There are no Indians in Cuba-the Span iards killed them all 400 years ago"
 So Canella kept right on playing In Cuba and seemed to improve each succeeding season. At last he be- came so terrible that even the Ha- vana and the Almendares club sought excuses to avoid meeting him, and the weaker clubs would face him and managed to get shut out every time Finally some influential Cubans man aged to make an American magnate understand that Caneilo was no ne- gro, and all was arranged for his try out in the coming spring. And then came the news that Canella's arm was ~one, and he could never pitch

Chicago, Aug. 2AFor the second time within a month Jack Johnson retired today. The announcement of Johnson's second assertion from the squared circle'' came when Philadelphia fight club asked what his lowest terms were for a bout with Joe Jeannette in Philadelphia.
