n IEW YORK, October 29.-1t
M is a simple thing to con-
1 Y duct a championship box
ing tournament on paper,
but something else to carry one
out in the ring, as Jimmy john
Ston, Madison Square Gardens
boxing impreSario, has discovered.
Several years ago the Boxing
Commission sWore off tourna-
ments after staging a couple of
them and since has left them up
to the promoters.
When Johnston started his tourna-
ment to elect middleTeight champion
he picked CIt four contestants, Chick
Devlin, frankie Battaglia Ben Jeby and
Paul Pirrone. He would have liked to
include Vince Dundee instead of Pr
rome. but Vince had a sore thumb or
something. He usually has.
Fer the lirst nights competition john
stCn paired Battaglia with DeViin and
JebV With Pirr0ne. Devlin was given
10 per cent as MS bit and the others
assigned a guaranty Of $1,000 The
agreement was that the two winners
would box on November l8, each to re-
ceiye Is per cent.
60 what happened? In the first place,
~ Devlin's 10 per cent amounted TO
$1,000 or $500 more than the others
received. That brought a general
sQuaWk from Jeby Battaglia and Pr
rome. Secondly, the arrangements were
thrown out of gear when the officials
declared the aglia-Devlin bout
draw, whereas in the opinion Of almost
every one else. Battaglia won by wide
margin. Jeby knocked out Pirrone, thus
apparently moving into the final bout
However. after the first nights fight
Johnston found himself with three mid
dlpWeights on his hands where he had
counted on only two. What to do?
Jimmy decided to have Battaglia end
DeVlin box again. to draw in an added
starter to box Jeby and to give each
of the four 10 per cent So Johnston
again tried to put in Dundee. Jeby
thought he had moved into the final.
but by this move found himself start
ing all over again. Even so, he did
not complain. He was willing to box
Dundee or any ore else. Jebv is
fighter. However. 1t seems that Dundee
still has that sore thumb Or something
and cannot box on November l0.
FURTHERMORE, Battaglia is dis
l. satisfied He feels he won from
Devlin. fairly and squarely. SO he
wants more than 10 per cent. To COM
plicatc the situation further, Devlin has
been offered 50 600 to box Battaglia in
Minneapolis and Jeby has been offered
more money to fight Battaglia in Chi
Cago than he probably could make by
continuing in the tournament here.
Johnston today issued an ultimatum
that if Battaglia did not accept terms
ha would match Devlin with Jeby in the
final and have the winner proclaimed
champion Of America. Then he would
send the victor against Marcel Thil of
France for the world title

Hornsby Will Succeed
Manager Street.
BY LAWRENCE PERRY.

n YEW YORK, October 90
M Commissioner Lands may
/ Y be asked to look into the
business relations between
the st. Louis Cardinals and Gin
cinnati Reds, according to reports
circulated in metropolitan base
ball circles. Base ball men in both
leagues have been quoted as say
ing that the Reds owe the Cardi-
nails 100000 for the releases of
ball players, including Chick
Hafey, Andy High, Wally Roettger,
Taylor Douthit and others.
The affairs Of the Cincinnati club are
said to be in the hands Of trust COM
pany, which has tied up the controlling
Stockholder so that he is unable to
square accounts with the st. Louis club.
Commissioner Lands is believed to
have been asked by other National
League clubs to investigate the So
called partnership which involves the
Reds and Cardinals and break it up, if
possible. for the best interests of base
ball. Big league clubs often have been
Ill UeDI 10 OlIltIS III lIle same circuit.
But the Cincinnati-St. Louis case has
become SO conspicuous that something
will have TO be cone to clear the atmos-
phere.
IT Is the general belief in New York
/ that Rogers Hornsby will succeed
Charley Street as manager of the
Cardinals before or during the National
League race next year. From St Louis
comes a report today that Hornsby
signed a one-year contract with the
Cardinals as player without the
knowledge or consent of Street. If that
is So it will not be surprising if Street
hands in his resignation. In that case,
the Cardinals will find a place for him
as manager of one of their chain-store
teamS-Houston. Columbus or Rochester.
Breadon signed Street last Summer
for 1888, declaring he was satisfied with
his leadership in spite of the low stand
ing of the team. which was due largely
to accidents. At that time Hornsby was
still in favor with the Chicago club. But
after the Rajah was dismissed by Presi-
dent Veeck, the Cardinals owner, it is
said. lost no time in getting word to
HornSby that he would be taken care Of.

Yale Alumni Talk
OF Getting Stagg

LONZO stage as head coach
n at Yale! What fitting climax
that would be to the career OF
a great man. Yale alumni are talk
ing about this possibility.
Stagg. after 40 years Of service at
the University of Chicago in this
capacity, has been forced to relin-
uuish his duties at the end of the
present year. The fact that Stagg
still is remembered as one Of Yale's
greatest ends and in view of his
achievements at Chicago, his return
to New Haven for the purpose OF
building up new organization would
meet with favor, it is thought.
Yale's unfortunate showing against
Army indicated that something was
radically wrong in the methods OF
coaching and that the team was
sadly in need of a spark plug like
the inimitable Albie Booth. The
varsity regulars and substitutes were
plucky, but that was about all. They
had no attack worthy Of the name,
for which reason the West Pointers
never were in danger.

ROD AND STREAM
BY PERRY MILLER

~ UR report from Harpers Ferry
this morning stated that the
Potomac and Shenandoah
Rivers were muddy. The Poto-
mac is muddy at Great Falls and Chain
Bridge, and this condition extends
downstream the ether side of Marshall
Hall. This is not good news for the bass
anglers.
The only real chance the bass angler
has at this time is to fish in the Tidal
Basin. Col. U. S. Grant has resclnded
the order closing the basin to flshlng.
Heretofore the basin has been closed 10
anglers on October IS. Rod ard stream
has repeatedly tried to have the basin
stay open for the anglers until Decem-
ber !. This year, however. Capt. D. o.
Hickey in charge Of the United States
park police, who is a fisherman himself,
had a heart t-tc-heart talk with Col.
Grant. He informed him that October
and November are the real bass months;
that the laws regulating fishing In
MARYLAND and Virginia permit longer
seasons, Maryland TO December l ana
Virginia until next March.
DOD AND STREAM conveyed this in
X formation to Glen c. Leach, chief
CT fish culture of the United States
Bureau Of Fisheries, who Immediately
said he would help by planting addi-
tional adult bass. True to his word,
Leach had the first shipment Of bass
nlanted in the basin last Monday.
These fish were sened from the Bureau
Of Fisheries pond at Fe2therstone Farm
Va. Just as soon as the bass can be
seined from this pond they will be
brought to Washington and planted IN
the basin.
The waters of the Tidal Basin are
protected from the muddy waters OF the
river by gates. These gates are Kept
closed. and only a small quantity OF
muddy water has entered the BASIN
Notwithstanding reports to the contrary,
there are a lot Of bass in the basin.
The reason not more are caught IS that
they have plenty Of good food, mlnnoWs'
craWflSh, etc The lucky anglers are
those who use artificial lures.
A NGLERS fishing in Piscataway
n Creek report this body Of water
badly discoIored except in the head
waters of The creek. They say they
caught only one or two bass. but landed
many eels and yellow perch. Gunston
Cove. on the Virginia side of the river,
is in the same condition, clear in the
upper part but muddy below, and con-
seouently few anglers have ventured
forth When the waters clear there will
be plenty Of sport for all anglers. Capt.
Shephard, however. reports good catches
yesterday. one man getting II, one 7
and another 6.
Fairly good catches of blues and trout
are being made in salt water. 1 don't
know whether the majority OF boats
from this side of the bay select Bloody
Point Light as their fishing grounds,
but I do know that last Saturday aft
ernoon there were many boats over
there, at least 100. and / also know that

ing grounds at am. They flshed all
day and landed 1877 blues 6nd 3 sea
bass. The blues we're all of good size,
running from l to pounds. There
were 80 boats out early Sunday ncrn-
ing around Bloody Point and all re-
turned with fairly good catches.
Reports from the Herring Bay dis
trict state that fishing has fallen off.
Capt. Ward reports that the weather
may have been responsible for this
condition, but he said he thought the
blues had commenced to fall back down
the bay. He said the best catch this
morning off Holland Point. when a
party Of local anglers landed some
Sizable trout, the largest weighing 6
pounds.
At SolomonS Island the blues are
showing up in larger numbers than at
any time this season ana trout fishing
is better than fair Capt. Eddy Bowen
late Wednesday, off Cedar Point, landed
38 blues, each weighing around 3
pounds. Capt. Bowen said. as the fish
fall back down the bay and the Pa
tuXent River, fishing will be at its best
around SolOmonS. This Is borne out
by the appearance of so many blues at
the present time.
George knight, at Leonardtown, re-
ports that fishing in the low Wer Potomac
around Tall Timbers, Piney Point and
Point Lookout has been oriy fair this
week. The best fishing, he said, was in
the river around Blackstone Island,
where good catches of blues. trout, sea
bass and hardheads were landed. He
reports that Judge Isaac Hit of Wash
ington. with a party Of friends, made
a good catch of blues and trout last
week end off Blackstone Island with
Capt. Walter Cheseldine as their
guide. and that party from Baltimore
made a catch of so fish, mostly sea
bass. ranging around pounds. The
remarkable part of his report this week
was that this same party from Balti-
more landed 3 blues. each weighing
around 10 pounds. The rockflSh seem
to be feed up and will not strike at
anything offered. Capt. Knight reports
that all boatmen are waiting for good
frost, after which the rockfish will be-
come active.

with the best modern machinery to pull
down any one of the columns OF the
old forums. Unless the barbarians who
participated in the various conqueSts OF
the city had an unusual amount OF time
to waste 1t is improbable they remained
on the scene long enough to carry out
the destruction for which they were
later blamed. Their activities were lin
tied to pillage and loot.
The findings of the present excaVa-
tors do not broach an entirely new
theory. Historians frequently asserted
that the barbarians were maligned and
that about the worst destruction of
property which could be laid to them
was the burning of the home OF Salus-
tio. Salustio lived near the gate by
which the barbarians entered the ruins
which now may be seen converted into
a small park below the level Of the
present street.
The Romans have always had a sus-
picion that the barbarians were less
responsible for the destruction Of the
ancient city than the carelesSness Of
the later rulers. Hence the local prov

When the horde of Normans, Sicilians

Saviors by turning them loose on the
city. AS soon as the troops left the
citizens retaliated by driving the Pope
into exile. Throughout the Middle
Ages and later the penchant Of Popes
and leading families for taking for their
own uses materials Of ancient buildings
is well known.
Indifference also seems to have played

Disguise Is Difficult.

The custom of printing and distribut-
ing descriptions of criminals who are
desired by the Police Department, is
still followed but it IS realized that
these are of little value. Because many
fugutiveS nowadays resort to disglises
and they cannot easily be picked out
from police circulars which adorn the
walls of out-of-town police stations.
The police no longer rely on descrip-
tions of fugitiveS on these circulars.
If the fugitive is described as red
headed, they know that he may have
dyed his hair brown or black, and they
depend on confidential information to
bring him to book.
When Vincent Coll, New York gang
leader, was taken into custody it was
discovered he had dyed his hair black,
cultivated muStache and put on horn
trimmed Spectacles. Despite the dis
guise which he had effected detectives
recognized him the moment they set
eyes on him.
