NEW DEMOCRATIC WEEKLY
The "Jeffersonian" Will be Launched By Democrats at Phoenix.

Jeffersonian, constructive, conserva- tive, a weekly newspaper devoted to the interests of the Democratic party and it's nominees, will make it's initial bow to the Arizona public October 29 if the plans of certain young demo- crats of the state capital are car ried out. There are already num- Der of the members of the party in terested in the new venture and many others are being brought into the or ganization.
 The only members of the organiza- tion whose idenity has been made pub lie are Leslie Hardy and Harry Bo- land. The former Assistant Attorney General and candidate in the primary for the office now held by George Purdy Bullard is treasurer. He is widely known over Arizona, while liar ry Roland for several years private secretary to the late William Greene of Cananea, will be Secretary. Edgar Brown, of Flagstaff, is President.
 The principles and policies of lief ferson and Wilson will be supported by the new paper, which will also stand by the administration and the democratic nominees for county and precinct offices. The publishers promise a sworn circulation of 10000 copies for the first issue, in order that candidates and other advertisers may get the full value of their money.

FIELDER JONES EAGER TO STRIKE
BACK AT PRESIDENT JOHNSON
That Is Why He Is Anxious
to Decker With the
Federals.
HOW TROUBLE STARTED

CHICAGO, Aug. 13.-Fielder Jones
of Portland, Ore, who piloted the Chi
cago White Sox to a worlds cham
pionship in 1906, always has wanted
to get into St. Louis. A few years
ago he had practically closed a deal
FOR the Browns.
He has said that he has kilograms
to show that Colonel Hedges, present
owner Of the American league club
had accepted his offer, and everything
had been fixed for the Portland man
TO take over the club, when something
happened. Jones blames President
Johnson of the American league for
he hitch.
He never forgave Johnson for this,
and that probably is one of the rea-
sons why he would like to get into St.
Louis to buck Colonel Hedges.
Will Meet Gilmore.
Jones is on his way East, to confer
With President Gilmore of the Federal
league at St. Louis.
Whether Jones is expected to man.
age the Sloofeds, on a salary, or with
been divulged.
The St. Louis club is backed by Otto
Stifel, one of the wealthiest men iden-
titled with the new league. The club
has lost money this year, the deficit
probably exceeding 100000.
Jones Has Money.
Fielder Jones has considerable
means, and if he can be convinced
that the Federals have an even chance
Of winning out, he may be induced to
put his own money into the St. Louis
club.

NERVE LEAGUE
LEADERS KEEP
HIGH in RACE
Teams Show Their Class in Hard
Fought Battles-Proven
BY Figures.

Clubs that are pennant possibilities
invariably make good showings in
extra inning games, to 0 battles and
contests that are decided in the ninth
spasm. That is what veteran base
5all man says, the same being Frank
Bancroft, business manager of the
Cincinnati Reds, and the truth of
his remark is shown by the fact that
in contests of these varieties the
Cubs, Giants and Cardinals, now hay
ing three-handed scrap for the Ma
tional league gonfalon, have been
much more successful than the other
five teams.
What Figures Show.
Up to Monday sixty-five games had
been played in the National league in
which the issue was settled in either
the ninth or extra innings or on the
basis of 1 to 0. The Cardinals had
won eleven of these engagements and
so had the Braves, but Higgins men
had dropped only seven of these COM
bats, while Stallings' athletes had let
eleven escape.
Cards Stand High.
The Cardinals percentage in the
Nerve league was GIL, the Braves
500 The club that has shown the
greatest aptitude for getting the deci-
sion in tight games is Chicago, with
a percentage Of TIA, New York fol-
lowing with 1886. The Cardinals are
third with GIL, the Phillies fourth
with .555, the Braves fifth with 500,
the Pirates and Reds sixth with 1853,
and the Superbas eigth with 1903. The
Cardinals and the Cubs have won the
most games in the ninth inning (5);
the Braves are setting the pace in l
to wins with four, and the Phillies
have taken the greatest number Of
overtime events, seven. Brooklyn still
has to win to contest, and Gin
cinnati thus far has not registered a
victory in an extra inning affair. ST..
Louis hasn't been beaten once in the
ninth.

In nearly all of his other bouts
Hicks has victories or draws to his
;redit. In taking on Hicks, Gibbons
conceded at least twelve pounds, as
according to Manager Eddy Reddy,
Hicks refused to weigh in at less
han 164 pounds.
Mike now has three knockouts to
his credit this year, his victims being
Wildcat Fern, Bob McAllister and
Hicks. Mike will meet Billy Walters
before he returns home and he may
:eturn with record of two knockouts
within week.
The st. Paul phantom's next big
scrap may be with Jack Dillon at
Hudson as Manager Collins has not
ceased his efforts to arrange this
match. Mike is naturally a great
drawing card at Hudson, and the fans
are yearning to see him rittod against

seen him perform against boxers of

WAR MAY. PROVE
TOUGH ON GAME

The war is more serious than we
thought.
At first it seemed as if only six OF
seven of the European countries would
broil in embodiment. But shudder at
the overhanging cloud that is rolling
in upon us.
The kaiser, sorely beset and upset
is calling upon the Germans:
Il know no party or creed, all
know is German, and to the Germans
my appeal goes forth to stand to-
gether in Defense" comes stumbling
over the sea.
Now, doesn't that sound serious?
Oh. It doesn't, Ell? Well, please
consider the effect on our very exist
ance when all the German ball players
answer the call! The Germans put
the germ in baseball, and without
our national game is as stale beer and
:noldy pretZels.
If Honus Wagner-the Bismarck of
Observation-Disclosures his baseball bat
talon, with Germany Schaefer as
chief of staff and Kauff, the Teuton
Tartar of the Federal lea que, next in

COLLINS WIRES
CROSS AN OFFER
Hudson Promoter Seeks tt
Match Tillman With New
York Boxer.

MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 13-Match-
maker Mike Collins of the Hudson
Boxing club last night wired teaches
Cross an offer to box John Tillman ten
rounds at Hudson some time during
state fair week. Cross meets Joe Riv-
ers in a twenty-round bout at Los
Angeles tonight. Collins expects re-
ply from the New York boxer tomor-
row.
If Cross wins his bout tonight, it is
not very probable he will accept the
Hudson offer. The winner of tonight's
bout has been promised the September
date by Promoter McCarey. On the
other hand, if Cross is beaten, he will
probably return east, and it is quite
likely that he will then agree to stop
off here and take on the local battler.

FORK BALL is LATEST.

Sam Pete Standridge, the Sells
only survivor from the defunct Cali
fornia league, says he has perfected
what he calls his fork ball. By use of
it he had the men swinging and be-
lieves it is as good as the splitter when
that first started. Standridge puts
the ball between his second and third
fiugers before heaving it, then puts
all the speed he can back of it, and
the result is something weird. The
ball takes a more peculiar shoot than
does the splitter and is harder to hit.
AS soon as Standridge gets rid of a
charley horse he will try out his dis
covery in a game.

McGOORTY FOULED
CLABBY, SAYS CRITIC

CHICAGO, Aug. 13-That Eddy
McGoorty fouled Jimmy Clabby when
they met in Sydney, July 4, is proven
by the accounts of the battle just re-
ceived in Chicago. The Sydney Sports
man in particular has long story Of
the battle by "Boxer Mapor" and Nc
Goorty is criticised freely for his
rough work. The story also says that
Eddy was beaten when he committed
the foul. Following is the story in
part written in true Australian style:
1.-TWO of the greatest middleweight
boxers the world holds, the cleverest
and the hardest-hitting, in the persons
of Jimmy Clabby, born in Norwich,
Conn.,, but reared at and of Hammond,
Ind, U. S. A., a town otherwise un-
known before and that never would
have been heard Of had it not produc-
ed Jimmy, and Eddie McGoorty, also
