Chicago, July 2s-(Special) Thirty thousand dollars for 10 rounds is my price and l will not drop 1 cent is the ultimatum placed before Managers Billy .Gibson and Dan McKettrick to- night by Jack Johnson for a battle with Joe Jeannette in Madison Square Gar den.
 McKittriclS and Gibson arrived from New York yesterday for the attempt to make the black champion listen to reason. They talked with him all the afternoon but could not budge him. To- night they again went into confer ence with him, which was not expected to end before the early hours of the morning.
 "Jeannette is so near champion that 1t takes a championship figure to get me into the ring with him, said John son. He could whip all the white hopes as easily as l could myself and
 I'm not going to fight him for less thar

Homemade Bathing Tent

From Answers, London.
 Most of us enjoy sea bathing while on holiday: but the pleasure of dip is often marred by the long wait for one's turn to enter damp and often dirty bathing machine or hut.
 Here is a dodge for making small but serviceable bathing tent out of an old um- brela. Detach the handle, and fit the stick, plug wise. into another stick of the cheapest quality, so that whe-ftl,e two sticks are plugged together the~ umbrella will have a stick length Of about seven feet This will form your center pole.
 For the canvas" if you have a few old bed sheets so much the better. Other wise, you will have to buy 12 or 10 yards of unblft ched calico, costing but two pence a yard. Cut the 15 yards of calico into five strips of three yards length each, The calico Is generally sold with 2 inch width. The circumference of the bottom of your tent will thus be 13i inches.
 Join the strips in such a way as tc make a sort of skirt" of which the waist is few inches smaller in cir conference than the open umbrella-sc that when you throw the skirt over the open umbrella it will catch and hang | down.
 To the hem of the calico you must at tach some half dozen rough ..pockets''- | not close to the hem, but proceedins ! from it tailwise. Into each pocket yo, will put a stone picked from the beach at the same time pulling the pocket out
 so as to stretch the calico to its full l capacity.

The Destruction of Pompeii

From Bulwer-Lyttons Last Days of
 Pompeii.'
 The cloud. which had scattered so deep tied into solid and impenetrable mass It resembled less even the thickest gloom of night in the open air than the close and blind darkness of some narrow room But, in proportion as the blaclSness gath cred, did the lightnings around Vesuvius increase In their vivid and scorching glare. Nor was their horrible beauty confined to the usual hues of fire; no rainbow ever rivaled their varying and prodigal dyes. Now brightly blue as the most azure depth of a southern sky-now of a livid and snakelilke green, darting 1estlessly to and fro as the folds of an enormous ser pent-now of a lurid and intolerable crim- son, gushing forth though the columns of smoke far and wide, and lighting up the whole city from arch to arch-then sud denly dying into a sickly paeness. like the ghost of their own life,
 In the pauses of the showers you heard the rumbling of the earth beneath. and the groaning waves of the tortured sea; or, lower still, and audible but to the watch of intensest fear, the grinding and hissing murmur of the escaping gases through the chasrns of the distant noun tain.
 Sometimes the cloud appeared to break from it's solid hass, and by the lightning. to assume quaint and vast mimlcries of hunan or of mountain shapes. striding across the gloom. hurting one upon the other. and vanishing swiftly into the tn-- pulent abyss of shade; so that, to the eyes and fancies of the affrighted wanderers. the unsubstantial vapors were as the bod lly forms of gigantic foes-the agents of terror and death.

POOR OLD TYRUS COBB HAS SYMPATHY OF FANS; HE HAS FALLEN TO THE LOW AND MEAN .422 MARK

This means that the Georgia Peach has a grand hitting average of 1865 for seven years in major league baseball. Although II was surpassed before the foul strike rule was adopted. it has never been ap- preached since that era. In 1908 Criss, who played in but 64 games, led by 17 points. while Joe Jackson, who partici- pated in but 20 games in 1910 led by 2 scant points. His average this season is a wonderful one.
 Although many argue that Cobb secures many hits through his phenomenal speed, Cebb does not secure many scratch hits His safeties are usually of Clean. hard hit variety and above criticism. He has gone back In one particular, some state, anc that is in base stealing. It will be an anusual fact if other than Turus should lead in base, Differing activities. Clyde Milan is at the present time tue premier thief, but Cobb will surely get his mark before the season comes to conclu- sion.
 Undoubtedly the fans who state that Cobb is the greatest ball player in the business have backing to their state mehts He is wonderful player in every respect.

Having taken their seventh straight game, the Gulls are really threatening. However, the Barons have a full seven games lead on the Mobile crew and the Guls do not seem to have chance t1 win the rag Not only have the Gulls taken seven straights but also Il out Of the last F games.
 Beginning with the Crippled Crackers, the Gulls started to win Three straight games were taken from the Crackers. Then the Lookouts came to taste of de- feat Two out of the three games were taken and since that defeat on last Sat urday a week ago when Forrest More defeated the Gulls to o, they have not been beaten.
 Luck has figured wonderfully in the result Yesterday with one run in the rear the Turtles allowed two runs to be scored in the ninth inning, and, of course the Gulls won. The day before the Turtles lost 1 to and also the day before Nashville was beaten to ?, to 0 and to 3. Luck has figured promi- nently and 1t is needless to say that the luck will break.
 The Guls are not a hitting club There is not man on the club with an aver age of 300 and the swatting is below the average. Other than Berger and Albertus Demaree, the pitchers are not too good for this league, while the fielding is not nertorious enough to blow a trumpet about in praise.

Players Say It's Headwork

The players declare that Jmmy's head work is responsible for his success. He has made a long study of the pitchers and knows when they are going to throw to first or to the catcher. If he should be able to hit 300 he would probably steai 90 bases a season. He does not gain access to the paths as often as many of the players who make wonderful rec on the paths and if he did would probably steal as many bases as Cobb or Milan.
 Jimmy Is hitting .2S7 It is probable that his speed on the paths will cause his re- call by the Chicago White Sox in Sep tember. Callahan is attempting to add more speed to his bunch of Sox and, as he has the right to exercise an option on Johnston, Jimmy is likely to take another trip higher.
 He is finished player in every respect. His fielding is far above the average, his headworlS is good and his hitting is hard enough. And of course his base running is not excelled m any minor league. Roy Moran was sold to the Washington Americans on account of his speed on the sacks and surely Johnston will get trial.
