GIBBONS NO LONGER
 GOOD DRAWING CARD

That Mike Gibbons is still suffering from the blow to his prestige that re- suited from his poor showing against Eddie McGoorty is shown by the fact that there was less than $500 in the house when he met Jimmy Perry at Pittsburg last week. The manage ment wanted to call off the bout at the. last moment, but Gibbons decided to go on rather than become implicated in another affair that would dstract from his standing. Noting the vacant chairs Gibbons wanted the manage
 nent to cut out all the preliminaries in order to reduce expenses, but this the club officers refused to dp. As the main bout lasted less than two rounds, by refusing they escaped creating a new record.
 Gibbons appears to have recovered his old form and his match with Young Ahearn at the Garden A. c. New York on June 13 should furnish some fast boxing. Ahearn is a box CT whose talents have not received due appreciation. While he makes no pretensions of being a hard hitter he is very busy person when in the ring and his bouts are seldom dull. He is not given to c1inching, and working in the open his shifty footwork and rapid fire jabbing make a pleasing spectacle. Gibbons will do well to get the decision in ten rounds.

EASTERN.

reached Racine in the afternoon for weighing in, etc., he had called it off and on just 16 times Talk about your nervousnessI Why, it was something fierce, and I will never forget the handling of that match. Twice we had run-lns before the time set for the contest at the rink, but we bridged them over again.
 The climax came when the men were in the ring. Silvy objected to the heavy padding of the ring and demanded that it be removed. When I told him we could not, he blurted out: The match is off I was used to the sound and told him to go ah cad. but that the ring would not be touch ed. We finally pacif1ed him and he agreed to stand for the padding. Then when he got to his corner he discov- cred that the gloves were not what he liked and was just calling over to say the match was off again when the tine-keeper got next to his job and rang the gong. The men were at it in couple of seconds and Ferretti could not interfere any more. But, believe me, I would rather handle 100 matches under different conditions than that one"

JOE JEANETTE
 CAN'T GET BOUTS

Since the New York K Com mission placed a ban on M [ bouts, Joe Jeannette, the fornid4bzs Hobo ken negro, has been practically out of employment. For some time Jeannette has remained quiet. but now comes his manager with a sudden outburst of challenges to all and sun dry of the white hopes and Gunboar Smith in particular.
 However. 0unboat has trouble enough on hig hands to make his po- sition as head of the white hope clan secure Jeannette's only chance to get action seems to lie in, a match vitb Sam Langford- The Boston tar baby is again reported to be on the point of sailing for this country. When he arrives he will find himself in the same position as Jeannette and a match between the pair should be the logical outcome.
 Such battle could not fail to be a good attraction for various reasons. In the first place it would be a well come change to see two such accom- pfished gladiators of the old school in action, and in the second place it would afford an opportunity to see whether the pair are still as fornid- able as they are supposed to be.
 There is some reason to believe that Jeannette has gone back a trif1e and perhaps Langford has followed suit The mere fact that he has made cleanup Of the dismal array of heavy~efghts in Australia is no cri- terton that he is still as good as ever after his long absence.

 Slave Law in Chicago

Chicago, June EJohn Arthur Johns son, negro pugtlist, must serve a year and a day in the Federal prison at Fort Leavenworth and pay a fine of s1,000 for violating the Mann white slave act. Federal Judge Carpenter pronounced this sentence yesterday after denying the appeal for a new trial.

Johnson got his freedom on the $So,o0O bail furnished at the time of the indictment.
 Johnson showed much disappoint- ment over the prison part of the sen- tence. The maximum sentence on the charges on which he was convicted was a fine of S10O0O or Imprisonment for five years or both.

STAELINGS SPENDS MONEY TO BUILD UP
 BOSTON NATIONALS

And George Stallings rises to marx i.
 1T haven't the faintest idea where I'm going to wind up with this pail club, but I'll tell you one thing m going to beat some one. don [ even know who it is, but it'll be some one. I'm not going to finish last in this mans league" and this leads the sporting editor of The Rochester Herald to remark this morning:
 Mot many fans are aware that George is spending as much money as any man in the country in grabbing new players, while experimenting with picion is taking root that the chief will eventually cause his rivals a lot of trouble.
 ''It is said that he paid in the neigh borhood of $12,O0O for Mann, an out fielder, a fact which is not generally known, and which puts Mann in a class by himself among the outfeld- CTS of the league, so far as price IS concerned. Jackson and Bues, ball players easily worth $2,o00 to $3,0O0 apiece, represented part of the deal with Buffalo which took Mann to Bos- ton, and the rest was cash.
 ''Ddck Rudolph probably cost Stall lings a chunk of money, and he has CT players who will set him back con siderable. George apparently had nothing to offer in trades when he took hold at Boston, and so there was only one course open to him. Inci- dentaIly, the Boston fans are gradual ly awakening to the presence of Georges team, and the money spent for players is coming back at the gate.''

YALE WINS OUT
 FROM HOLY CROSS
Ten inning Battle Captured by
 Blue by 6 to 5

Yale defeated Holy Cross at Yale Held yesterday afternoon in the third game of the series, to 5. It required len innings before the participants gould arrive at a. verdict, the visitors literally handing the Blue the game after their defense had woefully crack ed In the tenth RiddelI was passed with two out and romped home when Carroll's wild throw to catch him stealing got through O'Brien in center field
 It was only. a. few weeks ago that Xale won over Holy Cross on a fluke, Murray baking in the fourteenth, scoring RiddeII from third. Tester days contest lacked the interest of former contests, though the visitors managed to fight the Ellis to a stand still In the seventh Captain Caw- ley's shirt hit to right field went for a home run when Pumpelly slip ped, resulting in two runs.
 Brown started on the mound for Yale and was taken out in the sixth to allow GiIe to bat for him. Brown was touched up for six hits in six rounds and Gle held the visitors to a lone hit in four. Murray, for the vis- tors, was hit opportunely. He Tanned but two men. both of which came in the tenth inning

 Hugo Kelly, one of the best of the rniddIeweights when he was in his prime, had SiIvy Ferretti, one of the very excitable Italians, as manager, and everyone who knows Silvy. is aware of his extreme nervousn ess. Doc Message made one mistake. He put up the weight forfeit for Ferretti, while Thompson had deposited bis own money. There was no come back for the doctor, as far as the Kel- Iy end went, and he discovered this fact an hour after having put up the weight forfeit.
 The trouble during the week or 10 days previous to the day of the match was nothing as compared to the final 12 hours Here is what Doc said: 'sEarly the day of the match Ferret ti came to my office and wanted cer- tain tickets and when refused them he at once declared the contest off We settled the point, however. A few minutes later he was back and wanted some passes for friends and upon refusal again called it off. Then he wanted to know about the running of the train, and because things did not suit him, he again used the magic words and called it off Later he found fault with certain arrangements and repeated, and before we had

CUBANS RAVING
 ABOUT BASEBALL
Fans Come to This Country on Vacations and Follow
 Cincinnati Team

New York, June 5.-According to Capt T. L. Huston, a former Cincin- natian. with large business interests in Cuba, the game of baseball is an important element in Cuba's national regeneration. Like all the Latins, '' said Capt Huston, the Cubans are reckless and excitable in politics They might feel like having a revolution when our people wouldn't feel that way; but they'll not have a revolu- ton in the baseball season5-not while five Cubans are playing and making good in the American big league teams. and while the daily scores, by innings, are being posted at the prin- cipal street corners, even in the lit tie towns of the interior.
 Soberly and seriously, the game of baseball has done much to relieve the tension of a situation which at one time carried with it a pretty strong prejudice against America and Americans. Most of the important papers in Cuba now have correspon- dents covering the big league games. Three Cuban correspondents are trav- cling with the Cincinnati Reds, on ac- count of the presence of Marsans and Almeida on that team. These cores pondents are given the same privil- eges and treated with the same con- sideration as the men who represent the American papers.
 They cable their news daily, and they keep Cubans interested in the sporting conditions in Americas prin- cipaI cities Of late, also, it has be- come the fashion among Cubans who are fans and wen-to-do, t& come to the states and spend two or three weeks watching the American games. It Is a custom which seems to be growing Four or five fans from Cuba are travelling with the Reds on this Eastern tour. The news that the Reds have decided to train in Havana next season will be received with the most enthusiastic delight It will do much to cement a feeling of genuine Friendship between the juvenile island nation and this big country

 BOUT CALLED OFF

San Francisco, June 5.-Unless un- expected concessions are made by one side or the otherS today, the 20 round boxing contest between Lightweight Champion Willie Ritchie and Joe Rivers, scheduled for July is off and another fighter will be selected to op- pose Ritchis in Rivers place. The managers 09 the two men cannot agree on the weight, Rivers insisting upon 131 pounds ringside and Ritchie holding out for 134 pounds at o'clock in the morning.
 Ad Wolgast, Freddie Welsh and Leach Cross have telegraphed re- quests that they be substituted for Rivers and unless the Los Angeles boy yields on the weight question, to- day, 1t is likely that one of the trio will be given the match.

 Bob Stow was all in when he got around with the winning run after a slide to the plate. After he had been passed in the 18th he and Rus sell tried the hit and run. Russell made four fouls Stow running to sec ond each time and then going back Finally Harvey flied to Edmondson and Stow, who was nearly to second had to eprint for first in a hurry. Then as soon as Silzer got up Stow lit out for second and made 1t. Sf1zer came through with his third bingle and it was good night.
 Jake Boultes was sore at Umpire Cross for not calling Jake Warmer out in the ninth. With Warner on second and HaJiger on first, Zibel1 hit to Boultes Jake went after Warmer and as the Waterbury captain ran out of the base line Boultes thought he was out and threw to second for a, double play. The umpire called all hands safe and Manager McCann fell off the bench.
 It was the first appearance of Um- pire Monte Cross. The former Phfla- deIphia star missed a, few strikes but -on the whole his work was good.
