JOE JACKSON RUMoR SPIKED.

Cleveland, Ohio, Aug 3.-vice President E. S. Barnard of the Cleve- land American League Club denied yesterday that any offer has been received from President Charles A. Comiskey of the Chicago Americans for outfielder Joe Jackson of the Indians, as was reported in a story published in Chicago. Barnard says Jackson will not be sold or traded to any club. The Chicago dispatch had it that Comiskey who is now on hunting trip, offered s20,000 and several players for Jackson.

The Lawn Tennis association could make up the deficit in thrills caused by the postponement of Davis Cup matches-or at least make up a good ly portion of this deficit by arranging for an intersectional clash between Wstern and Eastern stars after the amateur title is settled at Forest Hills.

No. The Outfield Cobb-Detroit Americans
 Speaker-Boston Americans.
 Jackson-C1eveland Americans.
 The first two stand apart and above the fold-Cobb as the greatest offen- sjve player ever known and Speaker as the best defensive outfielder in the game plus 300 batting eye.
 In selecting the third man those who come in range are Jackson, Craw- ford, Cravath. Burns, Lewis. CravathI and Burns have slumped from normal standards, and so are out of it for the year. Crawford is not as fast as he was once. Lewis is playing grand ball, but Jackson. still batting around .34O and a fast man with a fine arm, has the shade.

 But there is this difference in 1914 the Braves surged, out against reel ing field. The Giants were fading fast. When the test arrived the Braves beat their main opponents six straight times But in this 1915 canter the Braves will find rougher opposition. If it should come at last to show dcwn between the men of Stallings and of Moran, Boston's National league hopes will hardly find the Phil- lies as soft and yielding in 1915 as they found the Giants year ago.
 Boston still has eight games left with Philadelphia. And with Alexan- der leading the defense, 1t is hard to imagine any such rout as New York suffered a year ago.

become republican because the ma

office in Albany, although nearly all
the boxing is in this city, and Is tn
be allowed travelling expenses. These,
with the hire of the secretary and
other assistants will appreciably in
crease the cost of the supervision OF
boxing and, obviously, the amount OF
this increased cost cannot even he
guessed. In order to meet the in
creased cost the tax on receipts for
the sale of tickets will be increased
from five to seven and one-half per
cent. which may serve to force out
of the business some of the minor ath-
letic clubs No tears will be shed IL
this happens. But whether the new
and rather expensive commission will
be able to regulate boxing better than
1t has been regulated remains to be
seen. Very many good citizens would
like to see boxing in public prohibited
altogether. The new bill is not de-
signed to please them. Nor has 1t been
demanded by the advocates of the
sport, who, it must be borne in mind,
are not all denizens of the neither
There are good things to be said for
boxing. A young man who would
excel in that sport must lead a clean
life, avoid intoxicants, train his facul-
ties, (for intelligence counts as much
as muscle,) and control his temper.
The bad repute of the prize ring Is
assuredly justified but boxing need
not. be condemned on that account.
Moreover, the boxing law sanctions
the public practice of the sport and
it is worth considering whether or not
it will tend to improve its practice or
its associations. At present its object
seems to be purely political, and II VIC

back until next September because
there will be no months intervening

to be a belief and very widely OBJ

oyster, so succulent at other times,
is unfit to eat, but those who know
say that there is nothing to it and
that the oyster can be eaten at such
a season as we'll as at any other time.
They can be gathered during the sum-
mer just as we'll as any other season
who will not care to eat oysters from
now until September will find the lob
ster a splendid substitute, and when
cooked in any one of the several ways
in which it can be sent to the table,
it will make up for the loss of any
other dish.

city lines of the British Columbia
Electric railway resulting from the
jitney 'buss traffic. The indications
from the percentage payments OF the
company for the first quarter Of the
year are that the city will receive as
its percentage on the gross receipts
of the tram lines during 1915 from
$4,000 to 5000 less than last year
For the first quarter of this year the
company's payments to the city on
percentage accounts totaled s5.3sS, as
compared with $10,ST0 for last year
the 1915 payments being less than one
half of those of last year. The total
percentage payments of the company
for March amount to s2.16s. as com
pared with $4,674 for March Of last
year, a decrease of S2,506. The num-
Der of passengers carried over the
Vancouver city and suburban lines
for March was l,912,510. as COM
pared with 3,273,774 for March Of
last year, a decrease of 1,261,264.
This decrease is largely due TO the
operation on the city streets and su-
burban lines of $50 jitney buses,
which are carrying the majority OF
the passengers who formerly rode or
the street cars.
Street railway passenger traffic in
Winnipeg has decreased to such an
extent since the advent of the Sit
neys that the Winnipeg Electric Rail-
way Co. has been forced to adopt
new measures to cope with tho sit
uation. This will involve a redue-
ton in the number OF cars on the
various routes. a reorganization Of
routes. and a probable reduction in
staff
II may say that the proposed re-
duction in service is not at all in
line with the decrease in trafic," says
the company's manager in a letter
to the civic board of control. IF we
were to merely put in such service as
to take care of the present trafTlc. it

cases the authorities base the num-
Der of dogs to be registered on the

Wnen in reality there may have been
large number destroyed because of
the activity of the dog wardens. Since
the present law went into effect hun
dreds of dogs have been killed be-
cause of the carelessness of their
owners Or because they came under
the head of "strays' and had no own
rs and no homes. The object of the
present law was to get rid of these
animals because of a belief that they
had caused a large part of the dam
age charged up to the dogs in general
but in doing so some of the best bred
animals were destroyed with them.
There are not many dogs allowed at
large those days except such animals
as are safe, will do no damage and
will not stray far from their homes.
The agitation for drastic legislation
in regard to dogs has subsidized to
certain extent and there is no longer
a demand that they be licensed ac-
cording to their weight, or that they
be killed off altogether so that farm
ers may have another chance at the
sheep raising business, some holding
that it is dogs that has made that
industry a failure in this state. the
cattle raising business has also proven
a failure for precisely the same rea-
son as that which really destroyed the
raising of sheep, although no one has
thus far attributed it to the dog. In
the meantime the authorities in the
different towns are DESTROYS that those
who own dogs shall pay their license

Boxing and Politics.
(New York Times. }

The new bill to regulate boxing,
which will become a law of the state
unless the governor changes his
mind, for he has indicated his inten-
ton to sign it, compels reflection. At
present, public exhibitions of the So
called manly art of self-denfense are
controlled by board of three unpaid
commissioners, assisted by a pail
secretary. The expenses are small,
yet under this arrangement there
have been no scandals. and in this
city there have been about twenty
five boxing exhibitions each week
with fair results. To be sure, the art
of boxing has not perceptibly ad-
vanced. The young men who box for
remuneration, which is very good in
deed, rarely seem to have mastered
thoroughly the rudiments of the art.
The commission, however, was not
designed to improve the quality of the
boxing, but to regulate the public
bouts, to prevent disorder and insure
the enforcement of the law. There
have been no srious complaints
against any of the commissioners.
They are to be legislated out of office
simply for political reasons and three
