James J. Corbett fought Bob Fitzim-
mons in Dan Stuart's big open-air
arena at Carson City, New, 1t was the
first heavyweight glove contest to
finish for the championship ever
fought in this country under Marquis
of Queensbury rules. Fitzmmons
knocked out Corbett in the fourteen
tn round with his famous solar plex-
US blow. George Siler was referee.
This was the first fight that was ever
shown on the moving picture films,
and in many other respects will go
down in history as one Of the most
notable ring encounters in history.
Many of the famous sporting men
who were present at that contest are
now dead, including both Promoter
Stuart and Referee George Siler the
fight was made possible in Nevada by
special legislation that withstood
many attacks until it's sixteenth ami
versary, when it fell Recently the
Nevada legislature killed the law
sanctioning fights, and practically
killed the game in the sage brush
state. which was also the scene Of
the fight between Jim Jeffries and
Jack Johnson, Martin Hart, and Jack
Root, Battling Nelson and Joe Cans,
Hart and Schreck and Cans and Kid
Herman. Schreck knocked ont Hart
in the twentv-first round at TonoDah
Nav 30, 1907. Herman was beaten
at Tonopah January 1, 1907, In eight
rounds. Hart beat Root at Reno
July 8, 1905, in twelve rounds. Be

of fights in Nevada during the sixteen
years the law was in effect:
Jeffries vs.. Johnson at Reno, New.
July 4, 1910. Jeffries was knocked
out in the fifteenth round for the
heavyweight championship. Tex
Rickard was referee and promoter.

CHANCE DOING GREAT THING.
FOR NEW YORK.

Chance is doing great things for
the New York Americans, he is the
big master. He thinks and plans
for his men and insists upon having
his instructions obeyed to the letter.
He accepts full responsibility for the
game. One has but to spend few
days in his camp to realize why the
Peerless One is so successful He is
big man. That is the true secret.
First of all Frank Chance is a dis
ciplinarian. He took charge of a bad
ly disorganiZed club which had not
the faintest smattering of what dis
cipline meant. In his new envirous it
was absolutely necessary to control
the players and to teach them res
pect for the master. For this rea-
son Chance instituted number of
set rules that would not have been
necessary, perhaps had his players
been used to conscientious training.
One rule forced everyone to be in
the hotel before 11.30 at night. The
alternative was a stiff one. And If a
player. no matter who he might be,
was late by so much as minute, the
fine was levied. Chance plays no
favorities. The raw recruit meets with
as much respect and consideration as
the greatest star. He is subjected to
the same discipline.
Chance has the faculty Of express
ing himself clearly in no mistakable
terms. He keeps closely in touch
with the habits and associations OF
every one of his men. A carefully
dropped hint here and there does

deal just completed by the clubs
management here. President Nc
Aleer, for the club, has taken out

The management feels that all 4
players will be with the club for
many years, but IL any should die
while member of the team, the club
figures that the policies will compen-
safe for the loss Of the players SER
vices.
The policies are so written that II
any player wishes to assume his pol
icy after his services end with the
team he may do so by changing the
beneficiary and paying the premiums
subject. of course to an agreement
with the club. Should he decline to
exercise the option, the club can gel

ELECT BASEBALL OFFICERS.

Tuesday night at the DeKay Gro.

sembled, and elected the baseball
manager for the team for the coming
year and also Sec. Treasurer.
There was three or four names put
up for manager, but the fans seem to
be strong for Mr.. D. F Arthur the
manager of last years team. So after
plenty of wrangling the job was Of
fered to Mr.. Arthur who at first de-
clined the position saying that he did
not have the time to put much of his
energy in that direction, but after lots
of talking the fans convinced him
that he could not refuse, so he accept
ed.
Mr.. Frank Garvin was elected as
Sec. Treasurer, and the fans all think
that he is a good man for the job.
As Frank sure does like baseball and
also understands the game from A to
2.
The team will most likely start to
| work some time next week, and some
of these bright days the sound of the
ball striking the willow will be
heard at the baseball park.
Port Arthur was selected as bat
boy for the team, and Jim Martin

be his assistant for the year besides
holding the job as water carrier for
the team.
