the Congressional pro until he was
ready for the open test, confident and

Light Heavy weigh, Champion of the World.
I am taking a vacation cruising the
Spanish Main for two reasons. The
first is that I've fought so often lately
that I believe a layon and change of
scene will do me good. The second Is
that the Caribbean has always had a
strange fascination for me.
As a youngster. studied about 1t In
school. I read of the doings Of the
buccaneers. Sir Henry Morgan and
Blackboard and the rest. with the great
est interest / made up my mind that
when I could afford 1t I'd visit the
places / had dreamed Of so often. And
now I'm doing 1t.
Speaking of the Caribbean brings TO
mind the great number OF Snanisn
fighters who have invaded the United
States recently. I've been asked 10 tell
what think Of them. They nave

but none have reached the top yet.
It seems to me the example OF Luis
Firpo has done the ringmen OF Spanish
extraction a lot of harm. FirDo came
TO the United States with nothing put
a huge body, a ferocious scowl and
wild. swinging right hand.
Firpo Ham at Boxing.
He worked his way into a match with
Jack Dempsey, which turned out 10 DC
one of the shortest and most sensational
on record. Luis came TO US without
dime and went back with a fortune.
He had no real preparation. lie
didn't know anything about boxing
But he made lots OF money.
With that example In mind most ri
the Spanish fighters rush into fights
too advanced for them. They don't
study the game. You'll notice a sort OF
family resemblance In the way they tear

work. banging away with both hands
never trying TO box. because they don't
know anything about boxing.

war. it was really not until
the close of the 1905 season
that the feud between the National
League and the American League was
officially and scntimentally ended.
This milestone was marked by the pa
rade held in Philadelphia to celebrate
the victory of the Athletics In the Amer
ican League pcnnant race. for on that
occasion John r. Brush. owner OF the
New York Giants and power In Ma
tional League councils. had shaken
hands with Connie Mack. manager OF
the Athletics. at the instigation of one
Of the base ball writers.
There was a Comical side to the pa
radc, in that the victors for whom 1t
was organized were vanquishcd In the
1905 world series.
Athletics Are Fooled.
The hackers of the Athletics were con-
fident that they would defeat the New
York Giants in the first world series
conducted under the rules coded by
Brush. The Athletics failed to defeat
the Giants: in fact, they were badly
beaten. Nevertheless. by .dint Of much
cXertion and a great deal OF loud drum
ming. the parade went through. and
there was royal reception for the play
ers of the New York team who went to
Philadelphia The New Workers were
loudly cheered by the Philadelphia
partisans as they rode along in their
carriages and nary cabbage was sent
sailing at their heads.
The American League continued to
prosper III 1906. and it was we'll cstab-
lished and running smoothly when the
base ball season ended In that year. AT
the Winter meeting of the American
League in 1906 the owners raised Ban
Johnsons salary TO $4,000 for the re-
mainder of his term. They did not
hesitate In those days to reward john
son whenever there was any excuse for
it, because the club owners figured that
his power of organization had held

70. and the most in one series with to-
