Bryan Favors Judge Landis.

That Judge Lands was justified in ac-
cepting the position of baseball COM
missioner and at the same time retaining
his Federal judgeship Ia the opinion of
William ]. Bryan. many times candidate
for the Presidency of the United States.
That he who was once the great boy
orator of the Platte is interested In
baseball is indicated In an editorial
signed NY him in his Commoner. Says
William j.:
Some criticism has been directed
against Judge Lands because he has
accepted position with the baseball
clubs while continuing his position on
the bench. Why? He Is one OF the most
fearless judges on the bench; his res1g-
nation would be a calamity. lie has
been serving at a pecuniary loss; he
finds an opportunity to act as adviser to
those financially interested in the great
national game, baseball. He can raise
the standard of the game without neg
lect of his duties as q judge. He solved
the problem presented to him and he
solved It in manner beneficial TO him
self, to the court and to the public at
large. Time VIII vindicate the wisdom
Of his course"
When Ed Barrow was asked yesterday
IL the New York club would stop Babe
Ruth from playing basketball on sun
day night he replied that the Yankees
knew nothing about the Babes activ-
tiles here and that he did not think 1t
likely that he would be prevented from
plaving. He added that he did not know
IL the club had any jurisdiction over
Ruth outside of the baseball season.
Which presents an interesting question.
with a club offering $250.0oO for an
infielder it is very hard to talk in terms

league talent" walled Arthur Irwin

what was called the most spectacular
event of its kind ever held here.
The home team represented the best

New Workers Will Play Six

Jumpers Plead to Return.
BY DANIEL.

When the Giants go on their training

thing new. Instead of spending a month
or so at San Antonio, the primary base,
they will stay in the Alamo city for
only eighteen days. and later put IN six
days at a secondary camp, which viii

John McGraw's new scheme came out
yesterday, when Joe O'Brien issued the

games on Alabama soil.
When the Giants are IN Mobile they
will meet three clubs from as many
leagues. They will play two games each
with Mobile of the Southern Association.
Louisville of the American Association
and Philadelphia of the American
League. Louisville is to train at Mobile.
while the Athletics win make that city
their first stop on their way north from
Lake Charles, La. where they will pitch
their camp. The Mackmen are to meet
the New Yorks at Lake Charles. too. no

The idea of spending a week at some
city east OF San Antonio came to Nc
Graw last year, and Greenville, Miss,
was the spot chosen. But Greenyfllc
could not get enough opponents for the
Giants to come down into the Delta and
the proposition had TO be dropped. The.
Giants and the Red Sox did play one
game there. Greenville was suggested
again this year, but its hotel facilities
were not up to the standard offered by
Mobile.

Jumpers Want to Return.

Organized baseball will not be troubled
next season by the Steel and Industrial
leagues, to which so many players
jumped last season and the year before.
Most of these leagues and Independent
shipyard and factory outfits have been
broken up and the players have been left
holding the bag. The jumpers are fran
tic in their pleas for reinstatement, hut
it is extremely unlikely that their cases
will even be reviewed. 1t win be re-
membered that all the jumpers were
barred from organized baseball for five
years. and o. b. is determined to stand
pat on that decision.
The list OF those barred includes quite
a number of good ball players, among
whom are Joe Harris. the Cleveland first
baseman; Whitley Witt, the outfielder
and Kinney, pitcher of the Athletics:
Jimmy Hickman, the outfielder. who
was released by the Dodgers to Toledo
and declined the new assignment. and

M'GOVERN'S TITLE
HELD BY LONG COUNT
Champion Was Knocked Out
by Oscar Gardner, but Re-
tanned His Crown.

qoil describe interesting pu0ilstfc ere1tts
of the past. The lc1iter 4ciil coHf'ie his
observations to contests and inctde'Hs OF
tchich he lUas an eyetcitness.)
Reverence by referees for a champion
ship title has saved many holder from
deserved defeat This was particularly
true of pugilism of the past. and ring Of
fcials OF the present are by no means
free OF the faint. although majority OF
them are beginning to realize that a
champion is not entitled to any more
consideration from the third man IN the
ring than a preliminary boy in four
round bout Sullivan was the beneficiary
of the awe with which a champion was
regarded in his day, Although John IL.
refused TO come out of his corner Tor the
seventh round of a bout with pominick
Mccartney in Cincinnati in 1855, the
referee, two days after the bout, declared
Sullivan the winner.
Sullivan was unable to continue bout
with Patsy Cardiff of Minneapolis owing
to an injured arm, and the referee called
the bout Il draw.
Sullivan was a beaten man in his bout
with Mitchell In France, and his handlers
purchased a draw.
McAuliffe eluded defeat at the hands
of Jem Carney through the cutting of the
ring ropes at critical stage of the con-
test.
Many other champions were similarly
rescued from defeat, but few would
imagine that Terry McGovern once es-
capped defeat and retained the feather
weight title through the able assistance
of a referee.
McGoyern knocked out George Dixon
in the eighth round of bout at the
Broadway A. c. January 3. 1900, and
thus became the feetherweight champion.
McGovern followed that victory by stop
ping Jack Ward and Eddie Santry in
quick succession. and then looked about
for another victim.
Oscar Gardner. known as the Omaha
Kid. little chap with punch like
Moran's MARY Ann" fntimated that he
was next on McGovern's list, and the
match was set for the Broadway A. c.

Warm Contest Expected.

There was much interest in the bout,
because 1t was known that Gardner
would fight like wildcat. AS McGovern
was then at the top of his form, the pa
irons of boxing prepared for spectacu-
lar combat. They were not disappointed.
The Broadway A. c.. which stagAs. its
entertainments in the building on lower
Broadway near Fourth street. in which
Ye Olde London Streete had been ex-
hibited, was packed to the doors.
Johnny White was the referee.
Gardener was squatty little chap,
with very short legs, but with the torso
of middleweight. He had long arms
and tremendous hitting power.
McGovern apparently was intent on
finishing Gardner in a hurry and started
out with furious rush that carried
Gardner off his feet. McGovern landed
many a heavy blow before he paused
but as none reached the point of the
jaw Gardner was still intact. although a
bit flustered by the attack.
McGovern, observing that Gardner
was still erect and defiant, took one
long breath and again leaped at his man.
Gardner saw the Brooklyn Terror cata-
putting in his direction and prepared to
repel the attack The Omaha boy
dropped his right glove back OF his right
heel and then swung it at the onrushing
McGovern. The glove described an arc.
and while the blow seemed to be impos-
sibly wild it landed with a thud on tho
left side OF Terry's jaw. The champion
fell on his back and lay motionless.
The onlookers were speechless with
establishment. as II was customary for
McGovern's opponents to do the back
