FEW HEAVYWEIGHTS
 LEFT IN NEW YORK

Apparently there is going to be a dearth of important heavyweight matches at New York clubs for a time Gunboat Smiths bout with Carl Morris, while unsatisfactory- as all bouts which end in such a man ner must be-has left nothing more to be decided unless a return match between this pair is arranged. In view of the difference of opinion as tor the probable outcome, anOthe meeting between this pair would be most interesting But it is question able whether a boxer who loses on a foul deserves further consideration
 Frank Moran is now on the high seas bound for France, and according to his manager, Dan McKetrick, match with Jack Johnson. Gunboat Smith is also planning a trip abroad. Possibly he may tackle Moran in EJf- Iope.
 Just before sailing NIcKetrick un- wittingly let fall a remark which in dicated that he really entertains Ht tie faith in Moran's prospects of an nexing the championship from John son. At the time he was discussing Joe Jeannette's recent affair with Sam Langford. In an effort to make his point clear McKetriek temporarily forgot Moran.
 ''None of these white hopes have any chance against Johnson" said A4ChoCTICk. nave GAOuEA of them, and I ought to know. Moran, Smith, Morris and the whole lot are jokes. Not one of them knows how to fight"
 If Moran had been the subject of his discourse at the time undoubtedly McKetrick's remarks would have talk en a decBd ed1y different tone. But for the moment he forgot the inter ests of his blonde haired battIer and gave what appeared to be his real views.

Monte Cross, who managed the Bridgeport club last season, was ac- cused of scalping worlds series tickets in Philadelphia. He denied the charge and gave his version of the affair in a letter written to the PhiIa- delphia Bulletin. Monte was running a baseball board in Scranton, Pa, and was there during the series. He said the charge might have resulted from the fact that he tried to get two tick cts for @ friend.

VETERANS Will HAVE OPPORTUNITY
TO ATTEND gettysburg REUNION
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS PROVIDES TRANSPORT ALTON
FOR THOSE WHO DESIRE To ATTEND

Those old Confederate soldiers Of
James City county. who are unable
to pay their own expenses to Gettys-
burg to attend the reunion of the
Blue and Gray next July. have been
provided by the county board of
supervisors with funds TO pay their
railroad fare. The board acted
under a statute passed by the last
general assembly which gives county
supervisors power to appropriate
money out of the treasury for the
purpose mentioned. The act applies
only to Confederate soldiers, the
presumption being. perhaps. that
most Federal soldiers receive pen
sions from the government and are
thus able 70 bear their own expenses.
The matter was brought to the
attention of the board by Chairman
Walden, and Clerk Geddy read the
very courteous invitation to all ole
veterans 10 attend this first ano
probably last great reunion Of the
Blue and Gray. Actual coun
showed that there were sixteen ole
Confederate veterans in the county
not including Williamsburg. and al
who apply will be given money t
pay the cost of transportation.
