NEW YORK, Oct. 13.--How Rob-
ert Fitzsimmons. former champion
pugilist of the world, once put it all
over Jeffries' and yet lost the fight
was tersely told today In the supreme
court by n5ue other than Ruby
Robert himself. while tessifying be-
fore Justice Weeks and jury trying
the suit of Joseph Egan, the boxing
promoter, against Pearson's Magazine
company.
Egan was manager for Jeffries at
the time he met Fitzsimmons for the
second time, the night having taken
place under the auspices or the San
Francisco A. c. on July rs. 1902. In
that battle, It will be recalled, James
J. Jeffries. the then champion heavy
weight pugilist, defeated Fitzsimmons
In the eighth round. When Fitzsim-
mons took the stand today as witness
for Egan he was questioned by c. b.
Mitchell about the San Francisco en-
counter.
IF you saw Jeffries after that en-
gagement," said Mr.. Mitchell, please
state what was his condition"

Lifelike Baseball
Player Coming to
Belvidere Hall

The Coleman baseball player Is to be
in Richmond, commencing Saturday
evening. October 25th. at Belvidere
hall, Belvidere and Main streets. The
player is just from Washington and
Baltimore, where It Ia heraided as the
greatest invention OF modern times, do
ing work that the moving picture can't
do.
Reproduction of the worlds series
with moving pictures No machine
used. The Coleman life-like baseball
player gives absolutely every incident
of a game. The audience sees the
player get up from the bench. walk
over, pick up bat. hit the ball. run the
bases. get put out or slide to satisfy.
The umpire at the plate and first base
give the decisions.
You see the pitcher and catcher warm
up on the side lines. The most mystic
rious feature Is to see the ball in ac-
ton. You see the pitcher wind UP
and the ball leave his hand, hit by the
batter and sail through the air; fielder
run over. catch or pick IL up ana
throw to another player.
Every one who has seen the Coleman
player In action declares IL Is the most

Power Horns
For Automobiles
May be Adopted

The subcommittee appointed by the
police board OF Richmond. at Its last
meeting, to investigate the automo-
bile horn question. has decided agains,
the present bulb horn regulation. and
In favor OF a regulation which will
permit the proper use OF all warning
signals by motorists.
The whole matter will be finally
settled by the approval OF the regula-
ton submitted by Chief Werner at the
next meeting of the board.
This does not mean that the JOY
rider, whose abuse OF the electric
horn caused the adoption OF the pres
ent regulation. will be able to resume
that misuse. 1t means that he will
be punished more severely than he
ever has been, but that the motorist
who uses his signal In a sane. law
abiding fashion, win no longer be pre-
vented from enjoying the benefit of a
signal that really warns.

MANY BASEBALL
MYTHS CROP up
TO Be DENIED
COLLINS AND sCHANG STORIES GO
ROUNDS, IN SPITE OF FIRE.
QUENT DENIALs

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 23.-There
are two baseball myths which keep
cropping up. no matter how many times
they are denied. One Is that Eddie
Collins, when n student at Columbia
college, went to the Polo grounds and
begged for chance to play with the
New York Giants and was turned down.
The other Is that Connie Mack last
spring tried to trade Catcher Schang
to the New York H1ghlanderS for
pitcher named Green.
The Collins story, has been revived
because Manager McGraw recently de-
clared that the brilliant second base
man of the Athletics was the greatest
player living. Collins has denied that
when he was q student at Columbia
college he went to the Polo grounds
and vainly sought for n chance to show
McGraw what he could do. AS for the
Schang story. that was denied by Man.
ager Mack last winter.
Connie then told the writer that he
did not have the slightest thought of
trading the young catcher.
The Athletics manager said he GER
tainly did not have any idea of scour-
ing the country for young talent and
then disposing Of IL before he had an
opportunity to look over what his
scouts had brought his way. AS to
Sehang, Connie Characterized the idea
that he would trade him as ridiculous.
It was pointed out by Connie that
something like fourteen clubs tried to
get Schang in the draft Any time
Manager Mack can get his hands on a
player who looks good to a dozen or
more major league clubs he certainly
intends to look him over Despite that
denial and Comics sound reasons for
refusing to part with so promising a
yorngster. the Schang story is again
going the rounds. It like the Collins
yarn. is a false report that the denials
never appear to catch UP to.

Barney Dreyfus
Has Scheme for
Inter-League Games

Barney Dreyfuss Is hoping TO hear
favorably from majority of major
league club owners following his an
nouncement of plan for stimulating
interest among fans at the fag-end of
the season.
The plan to end the regular league
seasons OF the National and American
leagues on Labor Day and have the
teams play Inter-ieague ball for a
month. he believes, will meet with
hearty support. His plan, similar TO
that of Garry Hermann. except that
Ii retains the worlds series. is large
iy a defensive measure.
The Pittsburg management lost
$50, 600 in the last month of the sea-
son, he said. and 1t is safe to assume
that other clubs out of the champion
ship race lost heavily.

CAMBRIDGE. MASS. Oct as.-The
Harvard team was put through Its

ton lined up the regular rush line
against the first substitutes. using the
second strong backs on the varsity,
and sending Brickley. Mahan and Hard
wick to run in the offensive plays of

lasted for forty minutes. resulted In
no scoring for either team. the varsity
forwards being disappointtnsly weak

they open holes for backneid men less
brilliant than the regulars, who have
shown themselves such stars all fall.
On the varsity line all the regular
men were in the scrinmags with the

not to be expected to get into the Penn

The Crimson expects to beat Penn

the rush line after today's exhibition
is believed to be considerably behind
the line OF 1912 a midseason.

and the orchestral selections well

The program opened with Suppe's

1t was we'll received. but far more
approval was granted Beethoven's
Symphony No. !. which was the sec

Tenor solos by Joseph wittemore
proved TO be pleasing and the singer
was recalled several times to respond
TO encores. His first plumber Una
Furtiva Lagrima," one OF DonizettFs
best compositions. gave him ample OPP
portunity to test his clear and mellow
tenor voice.
The audience was more than ap-
preciative and when he returned for
his second number, Randaifs Down

hearty reception than 1t had done be-

better in this than In his initial num-

they have yet delivered.
The concert closed with another
number by the orchestra, q selection
from the opera "Sweethearts" and
this also was up to the new standard
which the orchestra has set by their
initial concert Of the season.
A new standard certainly and one
considerably higher than that OF last
year. The organization last season
was one OF which Richmond might
have felt proud, and this season Is
one of which II ~may boast, Con-
