NEW YEARS FRANKS
Father P. ]. Lyons Declares He Never
Saw Such Shocking Behavior
in His Life.

Boston, Jan. 5.-"Bostonians have re-
turned to paganism, and, instead OF fol-
lowing the Puritanical ways of old by
remaining at home and praying silently
to usher in the new year, they flocked
to Boston Common. and there sang
Sweet Adeline' and similar songs" said
Father P. ]. Lyons, In addressing his
parishioners to-day. After the priest had
taken this fling at Mayor Fitzgerald's
favorite song. he continued:
New Years Day is one of the great
est feast days of our church In the
hotels and cafes young girls danced
about the aisles and went to the tables
with young men, where glasses clinked
and wine was drunk. Scenes bordering
on the riotous prevailed.
N"The street cars were thronged with
iirtatious young girls, accompanied by
young MN having cigar and cigarette
butts in their mouths. while the poor
scrubwomen coming from South Boston
to bagin their labOrious work were
obliged to stand. In all my nine years
In this work have never seen so many
people on the streets in the early morn

Segregation in Boxing.

Parson Davies. the pugilistic authority
and one time manager OF Peter jackson
thinks that the white and black pugilists
have come 10 the parting OF the ways
Says Davies: Il believe that the white
boxers in future Will conduct champion
ship battles among themselves. and II
the negroes desire to fight for titles the
competitions will be among men OF black
skin. True. blacks and whites may be
pitted against one another in unimpor-
tant bouts, but the tendency is to sepa-
rate the races on account OF the preju-
dice that prevails against such contests.
Boxing promoters have the example of
baseball magnates before them. 1t is
true that there is no rule OF organized
baseball that would prevent a negro be-
coming member OF a national agree
ment club. and there is a tacit under
standing that negroes shall not be sign
ed. The boxing authorities are appar-
entity following out that idea, and II
will result in the elimination of the
negro from pugilism within few years.
Those black men who desire to box will
be compelled to compete among them
selves"

Nv WILLIAM PEET.

Believe me. the Washington ball club
has landed a great pitcher in Victor
Bokers. He stands 6 feet 3 inches,
weighs IS5 pounds and believe has as
much speed as Walter johnson" Thus
spoke Chris Feinle, the crack twirler OF
the Georgetown team, who halls from
Buffalo, the home of Bickers. and who
has played semi-pro ball against him.
In order that Mr.. Feinle may not be
misunderstood, and that Manager Grif-
nth together with several thousand local
fans, must not build their hopes too high.
the Georgetown boxman adds: "Of course
Bickers is not TO be compared with
Johnson except in the matter OF plain
speed, and of this he has barrels, for
he is only a raw youngster, knows moth
ing about pitching and probably will not
be ripe for fast company for a couple of
years at least"
hasn't much in the nature OF curves and
no change of pace, but that he is willing,
strong and husky. Bickers last summer
twirled on the Pullman Car Company
semi-pTo club of Buffalo and his best per-
formance was against the Toronto Club,
Of the International League. during an eX-
hlbition contest, when he allowed but four
hits and won his game, some achieve
ment when 1t is taken into consideration

Manager Joe Kelley gathered around him
a real bunch of ball players.
The mere fact that Grifrs latest phenom
possesses great speed and measures up
10 big league standard in regard to size
counts more than almost anything else.
Bickers under the tutelage of the Old Fox
can be taught a good curve. also a change
of pace, both requirements necessary IL
the lad is to be a major Lacquer, and one
never can tell when a promising youngster
will blossom forth into a mighty handy
citizen.
