The Color Line
In Prize Ring

''Y'os :: never ', s;' a: "A
who had any Xix
ing for a negro, did you2"
demanded Nat Goodwin, the
actor, yesterday when he was
asked why John l.. Sullivan
would never agree to fight
Peter jackson when both were
in their prime.
We'll, that the reason
John wouldn't fight Peter.
He knew Jackson was a great
man and he admitted it, but
that was as far as he would 20.
The man never lived that Sui
Ivan was afraid Of, but black
and white wouldn't mix, even
in the prize ring, in this case,
so there was never a chance

in money matters,
MIR. Goodwin related story
of how he, George kessler,
John l.. and two others had
arranged to give a sumptuous
dinner to some friends at the
Hotel Richelieu, in Chicago,
when Sullivan was champion.
The bill must have eaten we'll
into three figures, for there
were many courses and the
wine was not only red but
very plentiful.
When we went to the desk
to settle, said Americas
favorite comedian, we were
told that Sullivan had already
done that little thing. He
never mentioned it to us.

raining Trip
OF Cubs Be
Minus Frills

Frills will be absent from the Cub
spring training trip. 1t will be business
all the way, and Manager Mitchell will
be the boss. Stockholders will not be
able to vote on the most likely recruit
nor give advice as to the pinch hitter
when the score is a tie, as there will be
none with the team. Not even President
Weeghman will be on the train to Pasa-
dena when the team leaves Chicago
March 12.
The violent change from preceding
trips came about through a conference
formed Mr.. Weeghman that the fewer
in the party the better. This decided
the magnate to advise his fellow stock
holders that they were not wanted on
the train, and, in order to set a good
example, he counted himself out Of
the party.
The trip will only be Of thirty days
duration" said Mr. Weeghman, "and I
think it would be unwise to have any
informed our stockholders. l want to
give the players all the comforts pos
sible, and, as railroad accommodation
will be hard to get, / thought it would
be best to cut out all extra travellers.
ut will not be difficult for the rail-
roads to handle the players and news
paper men. AS the team will be on the
jump most of the time, it would be no
pleasure for outsiders to go along.
Fewer players will be taken than for
merly, and that, too, will help"
Business Manager Craghead, who is
also secretary Of the club, will handle
the travelling arrangements. He has
everything creased for the journey, as
there are only few more dates to fill.
Whether the team will go through
Texas has not been decided, but there
will be games to go around should the
state be invaded.
