About Prize Fighting.

Sylvester, the Man About Town"
for the Portland Press, expresses his
views in regard to the relations Of hui
man nature and the prize fight in a
light not often afforded. He says:
: II have never thought there was
anything SO horrible in a fight be-
tween two well-trained, equally
weighted men, who know how to do it,
and while / have never been SO crazy
after the fstic game as many others
have been, yet / can see no reason
why some people should be so set
against it, especially when so many
others are SO much in favor of it.
Il wonder what there is in men that
makes them like stories about prize
fights. l have been around newspa-
per Offices more or less during m
time and I know it to be q fact that
aside from election night the tele
phones are never SO busy as they are
on the nights Of big prize fight. We
hear staid and sedate men, judges of
the court and others in their leisure
moments talking about fights and
fighters. Even ministers Of the gos-
pei have been known to discuss such
events In fact it was a minister who
legalized prize fighting in this State
He didn't ''go for to do it," as the
Scotch people say. but in trying to do
something else, that is what he ac-

SIX PRINCIPLES OF
PROGRESSIVE PARTY.
VIM. E. Cadmus Explains
New Party's Purpose--H
Says Significance Not Re-
allied by Old Parties.

Des Moines, Iowa, Jan. 9.-Republicans
who are at heart imbued with Progress
sive principles nevertheless will utterly
fail to instill Progressivism into the
party, declared William f. Cadmus, ma
tional organizer of the new party, to
night at the state conference of the Pro-
gressives The speaker likened Senators
Cummins and Borah and former Govern
or Hadley of Missouri to Man1maliel, who
would not forsake the Hebrew faith al
the behest of his pupil Paul. to Erasmus,
who would not follow Luther. and to
Webster and Clay.
Neither of the old parties, not even
their best leaders, understand the real
significance of the Progressive move
ment," declared Mr.. Cadmus. Some be-
nighted ones think it is a movement born
out of the colossal ambition of an arro-
CANT and disappointed man. The Pro-
gressive believes in six fundamentals OF
government-the primary, the initiative
the referendum, the recall, equal suf-
frage and control of the courts with
their decisions. No other great party
unitedly supports this program of COM
plete control of the government by the
people.
1--WE maintain that the Sherman law
so adequate in the eyes of the old par
ty as a regulator Of business, is farce
and fiasco,'' continued the speaker.

from every individual citizen. AS has
been proven, the good work done by

great many times larger than it's

The first to demand the attention of
those In attendance was the election
of officers for the coming year, with
the following result: President, Mrs.

ELIGIBLE TO SIGN CONTRACTS.
President Fuitz Of Players Fraternity
Gives Out Statement.

New York, Jan. 9.-Dayid L. Fultz,
president of the Baseball Players Fra
ternity, back from Cincinnati, after a
satisfactory conference with the Ma
tional Commission. today notified al
members of the Fraternity by mail
that they are now free to sign con
tracts.
This method is necessary SAL
ultz, for the players agreed original
u to pay no attention to orders pub
.ished in the newspapers. If I ha@
given out a statement in Cincinna
mat the players were eligible to sign
many OF them probably would not
nave accepted the announcement a.
official. Hence the notifications tina
are being mailed as rapidly as posi-
ble."
Mr. Fultz said that only players en-
ployed in organized baseball could be-
come members of the Fraternity, but
he said there was nothing in the or
CARNATIONS constitution to deprive a
player of his good standing if he sign
ed with an outlaw club. The fratern-
ity's attitude toward the Federal
League, F'ultz declared. was one of alb
solute neutrality.

BOXING NOTES.

Danny Goodman and Patsy Drouil-
lard have been matched to box in
Windsor, Ont, Jan. Is.
Cincinnati sport with the 5O-cent
idea for a boxing show is going to open
a club in that city and charge that
price for admission. He will find that
he has made a big mistake.
Tom Kennedy, the ex-amateur
heavyweight, who boxed Sandy Fer
guson in Boston, is going back into the
game and has been matched to box AL
McCloskey in New York Jan. 20.
Bombardier Wells is not discouraged
by his recent defeat by Carpenter,
and is still in the game. Next Wednes-
day night at Belfast, Ire, he will box
Gunner Rawice. Early next month
Wells will meet Dick Smith in London
Prof. Mike Donovan and Bob Fitz-
simmons speak highly of Bob McAllis-
ter, the new heavyweight star from
California. Donovan says that Meal
lister is Just as clever as Jim Corbett
was when he defeated John L. Sulli-
van.
An Augusta boxing fan who is also
popular as a barber effectually sizes
up Thursday nights main bout thus:
"Alger wanted to box; Wood wanted
to fight. The fighter was strong
enough to come to close quarters with
the boxer and won there. Had Alger
been able TO keep his. man away, the
Cambridge lad would have won be-
cause he is much superior as a boxer.
Taking up the argument along this
line it might be said that, had Alger
been WILLING to run from his man
he would have won on points-but
that isn't the Cambridge boxers in
stinct. He'd rather take his beating
in the middle of the ring.
In justice to McCloskey it should be
said that the blows for which he was
disqualified would not have been
needed by a more willing boxer than
Soldier Adams. The Fort McKin-
ley man is clean fighter without
question, but his gameness is open to
doubt after Thursday nights exhibit
ton.
Not so Pat Casey, another soldier
from the fort. Pat never f1inched al
though unable to protect himself or
strike back for two rounds in the
semi final. 1t was one of the gamest
exhibitions ever seen in this city.

Must Wait Year for
Baseball Decision,

Washington. Jan. 9.-Baseball players
and managers must wait a year or more
before getting light from the supreme
court on the much disputed question in
major league circles as to the enforcibil-
ity by injunction of payers contracts
The point has been raised that contracts
with players are not enforcible by injunc-
ton because they contain a clause CIV
ing the managers the right to terminate
the contract without giving a similar
right to the players
case involving similar questions has
been brought to the court by an oil COM
pany but the tribunal has just refused
request for an early hearing of the
controversy. This means that the case
will not come up for argument until next
winter, too late to affect baseball con-
tracts for the coming season.
How far the decision will be applicable
to baseball will be somewhat problemat-
ical until the decision is announced. The
suit was brought particularly to deter
mine the right of oil companies to termi-
nate certain contracts, but it is main
tanned by attorneys for the baseball in
terests that it involves the exact point
raised in the baseball controversy.

WOODEN MAINMAST.
Vanderbilt Cup Defender Will Not Be
As Large as Predecessors.

BRISTOL b T., Jan. s.-The yacht now
being built at the Herreshoff works by
the Vanderbilt syndicate as a potential
cup defender will very probably have a
mainmast of wood, it was learned today
from an authoritative source. The mast
is expected to be of the .stave" variety.
The former defenders Columbia and Re-
lance were equipped with steel masts.
The boat now being built will not be as
large as the old style yachts, and this
fact is given as the principal reason or
the substitution of wood for steel. The
mast will be made at the shops mere
At present the attention of the bur
ers is being principally devoted to the
completion of the big bronze keel plate,
which was cast recently.
