HOSTILITY TOWARD
FITZGERALD BARS
JOHNSON IN GOTHAM
New York Believes Colored
Champion Will Really
Retire.

NEW YORK, Aug. 25.-Although the
State boxing commission barred Jac!;
Johnson from appearing in this State
for the Iood of the game" II, is known
that the real reason is hostility toward
the champion for his shabby treatment
of Sam Fitzpatrick, who collected mono }
for the trip to Australia by johnson,
ending with his defeat of Tommy Burns
and gaining the title. When the boxing
bill became a law here. Senator Fraw-
ley then said that johnson could never
be allowed to appear In a ring In this
State, and he has kept his word.
Fitzpatrick took Johnson to England
France. and Australia, trailing Tommy
Burns. then champion, and finally cor
nered him in the Antipodes. He train
ed Johnson FOR his tattle that gave
him the :Itle. When IL came to sharing
the winnings, johnson turned down
Fitzpatrick cold. Sam has many friends
here, and they have been leaders O.
the movement to bar the champion
from the State.
1t is believed that Johnson will really
retire, tIiuking himself past the axe
when he can train and reach his true
form for a hard mill. A6vices from!
Chicago say that he realized in his
battle with Flynn that he was done
in the ring, and that he cannot be
coaxed into a battle in defense of his
title against strong challenger.

LEAGUE MAY FORM
AMONG AMATEURS
IN VIRGINIA TOWNS
Richmond Starts Campaign
to Bring Other Cities Into
Proposed Circuit.

RICHMOND, Va, Aug. 25.-Norfolk,
Richmond, Danville, Roanoke, Lynch
burg. and Petersburg may put amateur
baseball teams in an organization SINH
lar to that which obtains in Washing
ton under commission If the efforts of
Secretary Hooper of the amateur COM
mission here are successful.
1t is designed to have the different
cities enter teams in a State champion
ship tournament at the conclusion of
their amateur seasons In the different
cities, and the secretary Is in COM
munication with the various sporting
editors in the cities to see how prac-
ticable the movement can be made.
Should the cities form such an or
ganizaton it is expected that the win
ner would be determined State cham
pion. and would Ahen be able to play
the champion of any other State in the
Union, provided such team were de-
termined winner under the same con-
ditions.
If such a movement Is taken up in
other States 1t will be possible in time
to better the condition for organized
amateur baseball In the United States.

 So much for the anti American ism" The other political situation is within the conservative government where three factions, happily united in the welcome to Mir Knox, are easily discovered These are headed respectively by President Diaz, Pres ident -elect General Luis Mena, the minister of war, and General Chim- mora, nephew of the foreign minister and who is not in the government, but participated in the welcome to Mir.

In this situation there is presented the greatest danger of another revolution The government apparently is strong enough to hold in check, for some time at least, the liberals who are practically bankrupt, though there is good reason to believe that in fair election they would have good chance to turn out the conservatives; but whether the conservative house. divided against itself, can stand is a question.

On hoard the U. s. Cruiser Maryland,

 March 25. 1912.
 If former President of Nicaragua Zelaya is following the diplomatic trip of Secretary Knox he may be interested to know that the author ot the now famous Knox note to Ze- lava" which finally broke the latter's power and made him an exile, occu- pied in Managua the presidential pal ace-the first tenant of that impos- ing example of Moorish architecture since it was hurriejly vacated by the Liberal president. Madriz, Estrada and Diaz during their brief tenures of the presidency contented themsel- yes with more humble quarters, but the palace was restored to something like its old-time grandeur in honor of the American guest.
 More pleasant news from Zelaya will be that he still has a following in Nicaragua who did sheir best to make the visit on occasion for anti American demonstrations. However, in this they failed utterlr.
 MT. Knox found himself projected into a bitter political figh, or, more properly two fights. The liberals, who were shOrn of power by the Estrada revolution, have never forgiven the United States for the influence 1t eX- erted at that time Some in the party flooded the country with inflamma tory leaflets attacking the United States government and Mir Knox and the liberal papers in Managua waged a bitter campaign againSt the visit up to the day preceding the arrival Of MT. Knox. when most of their editors were put in jail, where they remained until the secretary of state had left 1 she city. General Rodolfo Espinosa, l perhaps the biggest man among the | liberals now an exile in Costa Rica called upon the secretary Of state | during the latter's stay at San Jose and besought him to use his influence | to prevent the persecution or liberals by the conservatives in Nicaragua Of course. the secretar of state could mol meddIe in the affair. but he would have been better pleased if the con- servatives had used less strenuous means to protect him from insult. As a matter of fact, when the agi- tation was closely analysed It ap- peared that the feeling was less anti American than government, ano many liberals called upon the secre- tary of state in ManagUl, disavoweo l the infIammatory utterances and in- [, sisted that their grievance was againsi the conservatives, who, they declar- ~ed, had failed to fulfill their promise' for reform. Many denied that they Il wished Zelayaism restored. It als' :. seemed plain that the out-and-ou

KNOYS VISIT ID N|CARAUGUA WAS VOID

anti -Americanism was confined chief ly to the uniinformed who in their ignorance of the real policy of the United States had been easily made to believe that the visit of the secre- tary of state was the forerunner or American occupation. This belief has been found among the less informed in other countries visited.
 The trains carrying the Knox party from Corinto to Managua suggested an armed invasion First there was a pilot train consisting of locomotive and one car. The ear carried flfty soldiers and from the rear door a Colt automatic gun with capacity of two hundred and fifty shots min
 ute was trained upon the special of five cars immediately following. The position of the weapon aroused mixed feelings among the cOuntry's guests; but fortunately a freight car filled with musicians, and two coaches oc- cupied by Nicaraguan escorts inter- vened between the artillery and the presidential coach set aside Tor the Knox family Closly following the special was third train of three cars carrying a hundred soldiers and another machine gun. At every sta ton soldiers lined the tract on either side. All the soldiers were fully arm ed and were in light marching order
 The cartridge belts were fixed on the automatics ready for instant use.
 All this precaution was not as re-
 assuring as it was intended to he. 1 but as the trip progressed and noth- ing unpleasant happened the Amerl- cans became accustomed to the mill tary display and rather enjoyed the ride of ninety miles. though it oc- | cuDied six hours The train passed through a magnificent fertile country. where neglected land can be pur-
 chased for six dollars gold an acre. At Ameya. Cmnamdega, Chichigal- pa and PostOltega small groups gath cred to wave their hats and shouted "Sahate Chammorai" This is the gen. eraI Chammora who figured promi- nently in the revolution and is now candidate for the presidency with strong following among the humber classes.
 The largest crowd was at Leon. the ancient Spanish capital and the not bed of anti -Americanism There was no cheering here. In the front row on the station platform was NonsaleZ' author of leaflet warning the sec
 retary that he might meet the rate that befell the American filibuster. William Walker. who was executed in Nicaragua about 1885. At the same
 time there were no derisive cries nor Iwere any heard at any point through out the trip to Managua and return
