BASEBALL SPORTS OF ALL SORTS BOXING

resenting a Chicago legislative dis
trict in which slocated the old Haw-
thorne track, has introduced in the
g Illinois senate a bill to legalize horse
racing. The measure provides for a
8 commission of three men to govern
Cthe sport, after the plan Of the pro-
@posed boxing law. A certain percent
age of all receipts will be paid to the
state treasury for the maintenance of
good roads.
1t is probable that the commission
would have the power to designate
the manner in which bets may be
laid. The introduction of the bill
= came as a surprise to members of
the legislature and much opposition
{ is expected. Backers of the boxing
bill fear that down-state solons may
baIk at the ring proposition, fearing
it will open the door to the ponies.
No action was taken on the box
{ ing measure, which still lies in COM
mittee, waiting for the proper mo-
ment to go before the senate. Lieut..
. Gov. O'Hara, answering the protest
of a ministerial body from Chicago,
declared he was absolutely in favor
of boxing and could see no harm in
the sport when it is properly con-
Quoted.
{ Next week it is expected public
hearings will be held on the boxing
bill, with the senate sitting as COM
mittee of the whole. Representatives
of various organizations opposed to
the measure will appear and boosters
: for the proposition will also be given
an inning.

Roger BreSnahan, Cub manager, fall
back on his recruit hurlers, Stand
ridge and Adams, to pace beside Jim
Vaughn and possibly Jimmy Layen-
der in the early days of the National
league season. Both of these young
sters are in excellent condition, and,
after yesterdays performance, the
same cannot be said for Larry
Cheney.
Larry was wild with his especial
brand of weirdness- pitches.
For big league star, the splitter
makes surprising number of these
woozy pegs, and they tossed off yes
terday's combat.
Cheney isn't ready. He needs
more work and lots of it under a
warming sun before he will be stout
enough to cope with the class of bat
ting displayed in the National league.
Standridge's debut was impressive.
This despite the fact that he COM
mitted six bases on balls and a wild
pitch in his first three innings before
a major league audience. In the last

The poor start of the young side
armer, taken in connection with his
increase of effectiveness later, added
to the brightness of his initiation. 1t
indicated that he does not easily be-
come unsettled, and has the courage
and determination to keep fighting
when things are breaking badly for
him.
Everything was against his sue
cess. He picked up bad burden and
proceeded to make it worse. But he
rallied and finished with as good a
brand of pitching as his older and
more experienced St. Louis rival,
Doak. He did not seem terrified by
the fact that he was doing his first
pitching in big league ball game,

by Goodall of city job at S10 per day
 But greater graft looms up. A franchise has been granted and for the very water site that Good all and Currier to when they asked and re- ceved from previous council the privilege of in stalling new light plant Of course no member of council is now interested in any way in the franchise that Knox seeking. At least they all deny any connection, although several of them displayed more than ordinary interest in desire to make the con ditions of the ordinance as liberal for Knox as possible, without any regard to the ctys rights
 As the Daily Alaskan says there's a reason for everything and Albert Ohman, the man in charge of the water site, and nephew of Oscar Ohman part ner of Knox in the ownership of this power gives the most satisfactory and plausible one In con versation with Thomas c. Price the other day when the light franchise was under discussion MT Ohman stated that Gooda and Currier were not interested
 in the new franchise granted the only interest they had was that in case Knox could float a company in the states Goodall and Currier were to build the plant, but that they were not even to be paid all cash for the work Their pay is half cash half stock Thus IS exploded the much touted declaration that Goodall, Currier,et al are serving the people, while in reality their acts have been all for private gain
The Cordova daily times., 1915-04-03
Why Councilmen Goodall and Currer Fa- vored the Knox Franchise They Are
 to be Boss Contractors Their Pay---Half Cash, Half Stock

The reason for the intense interest that Council men Goodall and Currier have taken in the granting of the Knox light franchise and their great anxiety to have the measure passed without any regard to protecting the rights of the town has at last been made public and it certainly places these public officials in very embarrassing position to say the least
 It has frequently been charged, and believed by many that Goodall and Currier have a direct per sonal and financial interest in this franchise al though they make denial of the fact couple of years ago, and before they became councilmen, the city granted to them light franchise for the same water site that Knox now claims to own But the privilege granted them was never taken advantage of, for the reason that capital could be secured for the construction of plant.
 Shortly after the election last spring H H. Knox appeared before the council and asked for a light franchise for this same water site which is now owned by Knox and Oscar Ohman, of Douglas. The ordinance submitted in no way safeguarded the town but practically gave Knox blanket privilege ot doing much as he pleased The document was so tilmsy that when objection was made by the mi noy members of council to its consideration it was

If any corroboration of Mr. Scheff elr's statement is necessary it might be stated that about the time the article appeared in the Alaska Times Mir Flynn approached a member of the local fire department and endeavored to prevail upon him to introduce resolution before the department con. demning the action of Councilmen Goodall, Boyle and Currier. Can he deny this, and does it not prove that the article expressed his real feeling towards these councilmen and offers the strongest kind of argument against the unftness of these men to hold office.
 Mir, Hymns long drawn out state ment deals with other local matters that had been disposed of some time before he wrote his famous article, and he digresses from the main issue in order to square himself with the men he attacked by now paying them empty compliments and making false charges against the candidates on the Peoples ticket. This deceit and trickery was evidently resorted to Ill hope of removing some of the odium from breaking into print and showing up Goodall Boyle and Currier in their true light. But the die had been cast and the double-cross brand is not so easily removed.

withdrawn.
 A little later another ordinance was prepared and upon its first reading in council the point was raised that it failed certain restrictions that were placed on the old company and that in justice to all parties concerned no discrimination should be made in favor of a new franchise against the old
 It was upon this point that Councilman Slater Hazelet and E J. Davis at first objected to the pass ing of the Knox ordinance but after the franchise was properly drawn, and contained the clauses that the minority members fought for they voted in favor of the ordinance. And for doing their duty in re fusing to give to Knox a blanket franchise consider able abuse has been heaped upon Councilman Haze let Davis and Slater by the official organ Boss" Goodal and his gang of disgruntled politicians.
 And it now develops that the motive back of the fight made by Good T and Currier was for personal gain, without any regard to their duty as public servants or their prediction pledges In the plat form of the Citizens party last spring was plank in which the candidates for councilmen declared themselves as being opposed to any member of the Town Council being directly indirectly interested in the performance of any public work or improve ment. The first violation of this pledge was the voting by the majority members, and the acceptance

FLYNN'S STATEMENT
 AS A DELIBERATE FALSEHOOD

Admitting that he wrote the article for the Alaska Times, excoriating Councilmen Goodall, Boyle and Cur rier for their action in opposing the removal of part of the fire apparatus to First Avenue fire hall, which was re- published in this paper on Thursday. James Flynn, clerk of the city coun. cil, attempts to justify his double. cross in a lengthy communication, over his signature, in yesterdays Daily Alaskan. The excuse offered for a betrayal of the men who placed him in his present municipal position is as tlimsy as it is untrue and instead of bearing the cross manfully Mir
 Flynn seeks to trump up an alleged conversation with Chas. II. Scheffler. one of the publishers of the Alaska Times, which Mir. Scheffler declares under oath never took place and con- sequently is a falsehood manufactured out of the whole cloth. Even were his version true, which is most em- phatlcallly denied, Flynn evidently considered his friendship for Scheffler paramount to any duty or obligation to Messrs. Goodal, Boyle or Currier.
 But what are the facts. MT. Scheffler makes affidavit that he did not solict MT. Flynn to write the al 'leged article, but that the latter came to the office and voluntarily offered to
