heavywebyht rhaminrrns a mild mania
aeeme4 to !" "Pon "ome nt tne m'r1
ran tirwHptporn to wind former pugilistic
. hHtntilm to. .writ, about Jeffries and
Johnson.
While the Society for the r.spendltm-e
of All the Csh in th World heartily
endorsed this iMW.y. It was a trifle hard
iii..pn the ambition young reporter. who
er.- l.rent. and; who were cnmilled
to double up." Not only were they
obliged to (ret the routine matter out of
the wav. but. with one or two exception,
they were compelled to write the dally
"expert opinion." ' .
one of the "Huoer'" Jocosely remarked
after It wan all over that he "never knew
before that he knew no much about flght
InK " and while lia being compll
m. r.ted profusely bin delightful literary
style, the man whrt, wrote the stories stood
about fifteen feet away, and laughed In
a rather bored manner when hi fallow
rmrtert jabbed him In the back now
and th. n for the sake of making Ufa more
agreeable.
At the world a series In bane ball thla
year It wan guile true that aome of the
ball player wrote the atorlee to which
their nanus were attached and U M
rqtmllv true that other did. not .
In New York last week an old player
said:
A a matter of fact not one ball player
In fifty 1 capable of describing a game
ui'UTutl-, " un J explaining why It wan
won, or why It ahould have been won
by a team which lout. The average ball
plaer get his eye on a certain angle
of the ganio and you may wiser Jelly
cake to plain soda biscuits that he never
will nee anything else."
More than tha.tr, other ball player ad
mit It. '
litis 'for llaltlmore.
No matter, bow Kreat they may have
be.n, one by one the ball player pass

to the major. and from the majors back
to the minor '
A few year ano Vic" Willis of regal

pitchers of the big leagues.

There have 'Wen times, when Willie

a column of a dally newspaper waa utilised
to describe the performance. It wa worth

It seems that Kred Clark did cast covet
ous eyes on Overall when he whs In New
York and dlacunsed the question of a trade
of Overall fpr'.Camn't.
Believe l(-fs on record that Overall an
nounced at the completion of the world ee
rie that h never Intended to pitch another

If he sticks to hla purpose where would
Clurke play him? Overall m'ght changa
his mind. Players have been known to do

Fitzsimmons Has
His Little Say-So
Makes a Few Pertinent Remarks on
the Big; Fight, July Four,
at Reno.
Kver slnca ,tbal hot afternoon In f.eno.
when th heavyweight championship was
rtiHed Into a Johnsonian epic, friends and
-elatlves. who" were prerent at tha ring,
lave had their llttla say.
John 1- Sullivan has taken occasion two
or three times to laeh Jeffries rather need
lessly. John L. haa angered Colonel "Bob"
I'-ltislmmons, who kept the paca for ome
lline. but couldn't restrain himself longer
than the other evening in Chicago, when
lo look after ,'fulllvait as follows:
"When Sullivan said that h knew six
weeks before . the Jeffries-Johnson fight
that he knew It had been fixed, he fibbed
I know that three days before th fight he
said In Seattle that he believed th fight
to be square and advised friend of mine
to bet on John.xon. if he knew It was fixed
and nave that sort of a, tip he was worse
than If he ynlv fibbed to get hi nam Into
th newspapers 1 would prefer to think
lhat he wai wind bagging, though I
?ouMn't put th other past him. II gave
Charlie Mitchell llft.OOO to consent to a draw
in their fight at Chantllly. I have Inside
nfoi niatlon on that, and I know what I'm
:alklng of Sullivan haa always been a
xnocker. He I Jealous of every man who
ver held the championship and Is a dla
oval. unMportsmaullkp old woman.
It may be added that any one who saw
he fight between Jeffrie and Johnson
iny on with some garniture of common
tense, to put It better, good old fashioned
'horse sense"' knows -that It waa anything
nit a fined fight.- It waa a plain, ordinary,
hcroukh ring thrashing, and all the "king
eaters and the king' sourta" never can
us ke It anything else. Had Jeffrie been
lood enough (o hve beaten Johnson he
lad opportunitv to do so. He wasn't good
.nougli Jvlinon knew It; -those who tat
n the broilliiK sun felt It early in the
'ixht. and to show that he entertain no
II will against the former champion John
ion told Jrffrle before th match was
iter that he whipped, and he knew It.
Jeffries letallatcd as best be could, but
foiiiehow his repartee seemed ti be la k
lug some her around fh vicinity of th
tiloves which covered hla hands.

tle more experience he would take th title
away from me. .
If Kaufmaan want to meet me- lt let
him get noma club to hang up a puree and

the easiest man I had it- hit and I could

do toward getting ome club to put tip the
money. I am redy at a.ny time, If. they
give m 830,000 for my end, win. lose or

Package Containing Ten Thousand
Dollar Composition Object of
Theft Unknown..
NEW VortK. Dec. I5.-A package be
haved to contain a llO.tkM piiae music score,
addressed to George W. Chadwlck, direc
tor of the New England Conservatory of
Music of Boston, was alolen tonight from
an express waxon standing In front of an
uptown dwelling house.
The driver of th express wagon in
formed the police that the package was
one of two he had received a short time
before at th house of Walter Damroach;
the conductor.
Several musical scores had been sub
mitted to mm, Damrotch explained, aa
one of th Judge in a contest, whloh had
been conduit td for soma tun by the
Metropolitan Opera house. From the com
positions paattd on. he had aelected sii,
which h had instructed hi secretary to
forward to Mr. Chadwlck. H did not
know whether these tlx had been done
up in on or two package, but was In
clined to think they had all bee) sent
under th sani cover.
In that case, trn estimated tha value of
the package at 84 M) to f5i000. Th prise
cur was to hae received 810.000 and
whatever th loss, he fiaied It would be
Irreparable, as he doubted If any dupli
catea wer to be had.
Th block in which the theft waa cow

Trior to th meeting of the base ball
league, which wer held. In New; Tork last
week, there had boerl rumors of sessions In
which tohasco taiice would have been
sprinkled In -the air with mor Hbrallly
than Incense.
Not 1 a sprinkle. No dove may have
lighted In the halls of debate, but there wn
not that high disregard for quiet and peace
which had been predicted. Hut of both
major league meetings, the greatest new
sensation which developed wa the willing
ness of the principal owner of the ,"t.
Louis American league club to retire from
the gam. It wa unexpected. Not even
th owners of the American league olub
had reckoned upon such a crista In th af
fair of the St. Louis organization, al
though It may be that some of the Ameri
can leagu owners are not worrying be
cause Mr. Hedge haa ahown that he la
willing to retire.
That the Hoston National league club
mlfcht change hands had been discounter
before th league began to discus thlr
affairs. It has been known for some time
that th present owner of th largest
share of stock In th lloston club was
Quite ready to dispose of Ms Interests to
any reputable Boston corporation, or oltt
ten, who cared to try to build up the for
tune of the team.
Looked that Way.
The probable defeat of Patrick T. Pow
ers a president of the Eastern leagu
had. been anticipated, although mor than
one hoped that the Eastern league would
see fit to atop and think twice before uch
action was taken.
Th Eaatern league apparently had not
taker! Into consideration the very high
place which Mr. Power occupied in or
ganlted base ball and, while there wer
some of the club owner who felt that
they had an Immediate grievanoe, thy
should have been willing to sacrifice that
for th respect which Mr. Power' opinion
carries in base ball generally, and for the
good whloh he had effected for his circuit
In the past
It cannot be denied that baa ball In
general looked upon the change a a ten
dency on the part of certain club to rebel
against tha authority which had been ex-
rclnd by Mr. Power In regard to um
pires. There haa been a tendency to this
sort, of thing In more league than one,
and It la not wholly creditable to the good
Judgment of some of our base ball own
era and to th reputation of th American
people for fairness In sport, that the ad
mjnltrtration of a president should be
called to account by those who think that
their player have hot had enough latitude
on the field of play.
While there la a alight difference of opin
ion between the ' National league ' owner
and the American .league .owner a to th
datTfor the conclusion of the season of
WUj tt amounts to but little. There are
some National league men who seem to
think, that the season la growing further
Into ' the fall.- It may be that climatic
change which have been noticeable In re
cent year are to be permanent and that
base ball may be plyed later than waa
th case In the past
l.ooklasr fer a Holiday.
Rome owner wish to meet Columbus
day as a holiday, and, whether they are
right or wrong In their opinion a to th
value of the date, they are entitled to a
hearing and to aome leniency In a matter
In which they may be Justified In the long
run.
The gainea in each league wilt number
154, as has been the cawe In the past, and
In those games there will be ampl oppor
tunity for all the team which oonatltutaj

Discuss Decision
of the Vatican
European Catholics Want to Be Re
lieved of the Necessity of
Making Choice.
PARIS. Dec. 25.-:Spro;il Cablegram.)
European Catholics arc discussing the ex
pediency of the decision of the Vatican as
announced to the German Roman Catholic
Workmen' association In Cologne, to ob
serve 1911 aa a year of mourning before the
celebration of the forthcoming annexation
of the "states of the oiurch" to Italy.
Hope I expressed In liberal Catholio dr
cles that some modification of the Vatican'
attitude will be effected, so that hundred
of thousanda of devout and patriotic Ital
lana may be relieved of the necessity of a
choice between lamenting with the church
and rejoicing with th country.
German Catholio feeling la voiced con
servatively In the Kreus Zeitung, w;hlch
can see nothing to be gained by a policy
calculated to Inflame the Italian secular
ists to fresh hostility.
