BASEBALL BRIEFS.

Substitute Beals Becker of the Giants is proving himself one of the very best young emergency outfield- CTS.
 Catcher Erwin, who has been doing the bulk Of the catching for the Superbas, has been hitting well, but has not starred particularly in his backstOp work.
 Despite the fact that Fred Clarke has got the Pirates working in some thing like their normal stride, the fans still hint that Clarke should get back in the game.
 Sadie" McMahon, the once-famOus Baltimore pitcher. is now a New York club scout. McGraw certainly does take care of his oldtime friends and cronies.
 Rube Marquard on this years rec ords is not only the zenith pitcher # the unsalted baseball seas, but 9 bearcat with the bat He has macer- ated the ball to the extent of .294.

1YRUs AND HONUS
 AND TEMPERAMENT
" IS Scrapper, Dutchman is Calm, Cobb Likes Spotlight, Wagner
 IS BashfuI

There are baseball stars and base ball stars
 Hans Wagner is a star, Ty Cobb is a star.
 Ty Cobb, according to all reports. scraps with other members of the team with which is playing
 Same reports indicate that Cobb must be petted and codd1ed else he won't play.
 As result his team-mates are very much on the aggressive and have no love for Sic Semper Tyrannus
 Cobb must be the whole show or nothing.
 Tyrus also thinks he can play any position on the Detroit team just a little better than the man at present on the job
 It is also a matter of record that of he does not get the sort of a hotel room to suit his southern ideas of aristocracy. this same Cobb chap re- bels and asks his manager to take the whole bloomin' outfit to some other caravansary.
 This request being very promptly refused 1yrus the Great packs up his dishes ard goes home.
 Ever hear of Hans Wagner, the large and luminous star of the Nation al league indulging in any fOolishness?
 You never did no one ever did.
 Hans, instead of frOwning upon his clubmates, even if he thinks he is some better, ever has a word of en- couragement, ana it is a fact that the t0 ranks is sure to get only kind words from tha great Honus.
 Cobb gives his employers and his manager all sorts of trouble; Manager Clarke never is called upon to repri- mand Wagner.
 Instead of thinking he can play any place on the nine, Hans looks grieved when asked to preside at any other position save that of shortstOp
 Give Wagner a room next to the roof in any old hotel and he is satis- fled.
 Cobb is never happier than when posing n the spotlight of public adu- lation Wagner is never quite so well satisfied as when he can get away from those who would do him homage.
 Cobb listened to the tempter, went upon the stage with nothing to aid him save his baseball reputation.
 Two years ago Wagner was offered $1.OG0 per week to appear in a basket bail Skit in vaudeville circuit-a part in which he would not be re- qured to say a word. He turned down the offer
 Mingling with the players of his own team Wagner is just "one of the bays.
 If reports be true, Cobb, knowing that he l., the star of the Detroit team holds himself aloof from his fellow players
 Taking these things into cOnsidera tion which one is the real. genuine glittering star of the baseball world?

TWO MORE BOUTS
 ARE NOW IN SIGHT
Al kaufma an Charlie Miller and Abe AttelITommy Murphy for This
 and Next North

SAN FRANCISCO, June 15.-Al Kaufman and Charlie Miller for this month and Abe Attell and Harlem Tommy" Murphy for July 4th are the two latest pugilistc attractions that appear on the horizon. Nothing definite has bae1 lone s' far and the promoters are still angling to give San Francisco fight fans some sort of an attractive pugilistic card.
 Billy Kyne. who will promote a show for c. M. Anderson the latter part of this month, has practically cinched the Kaufman Miller mill, but there are a few details to be settled. Kyne is undecided whether it will be a ten or twenty-round bout in which the heavy weights will mix.
 Jimmy Coffroth was clOseted with Billy Nolan. Abe AttelTs manager, for a couple of hours yesterday relative to match on the Fourth with Mur- phy in particular or any feather weight or lightweight whom COffroth might secure Coffroth figures that a return twenty round go between Attell' and Murphy would draw q $15,- 900 house, so is working on this match. He plans to stage the pair out at his Mission street arena.
 Graney is also dickering with Mur phy and Atten, and declares that he has reached terms with the two fight CTS. save that there is a difference as to weight, Attell insisting on 133 pounds ringside. while Murphy wants it several hours before

FLAG AS LAUNDRY SIGN.
Washerwomen in Paris Thus Recall
 the Reign of Terror.

Speaking of revolutions, what can tell more romantic history than the washerWomens signs of Paris? Painted on tin and crudely finished, to be sure, still they are nothing less than the tri-color of France, the standard of the republic
 What a story it is that the na- tional ensign, as jealously guarded as the Stars and Stripes, should serve as a trade sign for the laundries! But remember the story of the revo- MtiOn and the meetings in laundry shops at night and remember Mme. Sans Gene, the washerWoman who became princess-was it not?
 In Paris one can never pass under that stiff tin draped flag, usually sadly faded, and glance at the toil- ing women inside the windows with out remembering the pranks of the royal laundress and understanding the flag-New York Sun.

JOHNSON LIVES LIKE \ SPORT
Champ Is Installed Amid Luxuries at Las Vegas Training Camp; Three Autos and Troupe of a Dozen SerVitorS

To those who witnessed Jack John whence he went to box Jim Flynn. July 4 It seemed like the arrival of a millionaire sportsman seeking recre- ation, instead of worlds champion pugilist going to defend his title. When the dusky champion stepped off the Santa Fe Limited from Chi cagO, the curious crowd seemed awed at the appearance of the king pin of the pugilstic game. his genial, golden smile manifested itself to the news paper men and photographers who were on hand to snap and interview him.
 He is now settled in quarters in the old town district of Las Vegas. Not being satisfied with the place that Jack Curley had selected for him, he decided to move and, according to all advices received from there his train ing quarters compare favOrably with any milliOnaire's domicile. With his trainers, his wife and maid, his cook and chauffeur. the party totals twelve persons m all.
 The arrival from Canada of Tom r ldUlSdn WllI SISHdlIZe tue COlIlIIltICt- ment of hard training for Johnson. F'lanigan will have entire charge of the Johnson camp and whatever he prescribes Johnson must do to prime himself for the final test. In addition to his regular gymnasium work, he will make autOmObiling one of his training stunts. and let me say that the champion is well supplied in the way of buzz-wa gOns-he has two touring cars and one racing machine on the ground at the present time.
 JOhnsOns demeanOr displayed the fact that he regards Flynn as a seri- Ous contender for his title and he contemplates taking no chances with the Pueblo fireman He says that he expects to win. and that he will be in better condition than when he fought Jeffries at Reno and the way he started his training it looks as if Jack is right
 The champion is well supplied with sparring partners and trainers among them being Marty Cutler, George De bray and Jack Respress, all capable and willing workers in training quar- ters with men of this caliber. John son will find no difficulty in getting into perfect condition, but this is where the mystery seems to center Reports had it one time that Jack had been dissipating quite freely. Next we have it that he is in tip top condition at the present time. This remains open for speculation. but as I said before in these columns. Jack Johnson is a pretty smart fel- low and, in my opinion. the fans can rest assured that he will not take any chances with a big, tough fellow like Flynn

CHAMPIONSHIP
 MAIN OBJECT
Race Pride and Position i'll Sporting World Will In duce Black. Champ to Do His Best, Says Sporting Writer

There is no denying the fact that the Galveston giant is a wonderful boxer. He is a cool and calculating ring general at all times. Johnson is noted for his wicked left hand. Tn this respect he is far superior to any boxer who is before the public at the present time In addition to this he is possessed of terrible right uppercut. which is a deadly menace to all aspiring heavyweights. Taking it all in all, he is wonder ful boxer. But the fact remains also that he is of a highly sensitive na- ture. and at times he likes excite ment very much, as is evidenced by his inclinations to burn up the roads and boulevards with his racing auto mobile. He says that he intends to enjoy himself at his favOrite pastime 70 the fullest extent Of the powers of his engines Jack Curley says that Johnson will have to curtai his speed mania. for the intervening time be- tween now and July 1. and what Curlev says appears to be law as far as Las Vegas is concerned. as he has been appointed assistant chief of police by the mayor of the New MeXi- co town (which is called by many the hub of the world" since being selected as the site of the big con- teet).
 As in every bout of any impor- tance. the skeptical ones have come to the front with the cry of fake. Here is where a prominent sporting writer ventures an opinion. T firm ly believe that Jack Johnson is one man who will perform on the level at all times. He. like every other dark skinned individual. is possessed of that Ethiopian pride which will never permit him to bow to a white man. Tn m2 opinion he would much rather be a champion pugilist of the world than millionaire faker of the boxing game.
 "A fact that great many people have overlooked is that a negro box CT is under a great handicap when he takes up the art of fisticuffs. He is subject to the slurs and scorn of the white man, because he is black this fact only encourages him to strive the harder. mostly for the pur- pose of revenge.
 Jack Johnson has weathered this storm and reached the top. He re- alizes his position in the boxing game. So once more I say that race pride will not permit him to do otherwise than perform on the level.
 T don't think that crOokedly in clned people could offer him enough money to fake therefore I say that

 Kilbane's Price for
 Bout With Dundee
$350O is Too Steep For New York A. C.
 so Call Off Scrap.

NEW YORK, June 15.-The Saint Nicholas Athletic club has called off the bout between Champion Johnny Kilbane and Johnnie Dundee, sched- uled for June IS. In place of this bout an all-star show will be staged on the same date. Dundee will oppose Young Wagner, Charley White will hook up in a return bout with Young Shunshungro of Jersey City, and Eddie O'Keefe of Philadelphia will clash with Packey Hommey.
 Kilbane was originally guaranteed $4,000 to box Dundee, but owing to the fact that interest in boxing is waning now, an effort was made to have Xiii bane accept $2,5OO with an option of 40 per cent. Kilbane named $3, 300 for his lowest figure and the bout was called off.

HANK O'DAY SAYS
 UMPIRES ARE HUMAN
Players do More to Make Umpires Un-
 popular Than Fans.

'Umpires are human.
 Don't be an umpire batter"
 Kicking against an umpire is un- spOrtsmarlike"
 Kicking and 'cussing' out umpires is wha1 ruins the morals of most teams"
 their own blunders"
 The umpire is trying to do his best"
 Hank O'DaY. manager of the Reds once a Giant of great renOwn, who was in charge of the game on that famous day when Merkle failed to touch sec Ond and the fans raised cackle, which added the eggs of baseball through two succeeding seasons. who is now (sO he tells me) taking eight pitchers to the well in the hope of bringing back in his bucket the National league pennant, says all this and a great deal more.
 "The players, not the spectators, make umpires unpopular says O'Day. You should be up close to some of them and listen to the lovely flow of language they can unlOOse, when they once get going. It would be a shock to the virtue of a we'll brought-up fan. over 90 per cent of the players put out of games are sent off the diamond. not for disputing decisions, but for having too much and too highly colored lang uage In England officials are treated with respect We must breed the same spOrtsmanlike sentiment here by teach ing clean spOrtsmanship to the kids.

ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH
 NEW YORK, June 15-Sammy Langford is detained" in Australia and has sent home to Boston for his family. This circumstance leads those sherlocking around the corners of the fistic sport to suspect something. Is it possible that one Hugh c. McIn- tosh has "copped" sam away from WoOdman, his Old-time manager? Mcintosh may have shown sam where he can make a lot of money by stay ing in Australia for little while.
 Mcintosh has been in a one sided correspondence with Johnson, the champion, who has not shown any in clinatiOn to pick up the large purse offered him for fighting LangfOrd. If Johnson should go to Australia and fight Langford and lose the title to him. sam could pick up a fortune in any part of the world.
