J Tha Jeffriea-Johnson flfht marked the
er.d of miiny Interetrtlna; ring- careers. The
( neat battle In Novada wrota finis upon

and Jack Oleaaon, Vuo promoted the strug

never aa!n neve anything- to do with
UflghUnjt. 1 soma iof In Rlckard s
iase, tor he U looked uin as tha'ablest
bandier ot bit right in the United Blates.
j James J. Jeffries will naver tight again,
j-epui ta , to the oonUry nut withstanding,
flillly Delayer, the greatest ring general In
the hlntory ot tha game, retiree to hli Cal
ifornia ranch vowing that he la through
-Midi pugilism for good and all.
' 'Never Main for me," aaid James J. Cor
Attt, the world'! champion self-advertiser.
I If fighting la killed In Nevada It la likely
that others who played direct and Indirect
port In tha content are through with the
game. Bob Armstrong and farmer uurns.
(h helped train Jeffries, have retired to
Vrtvta Ufa, aa It were. John L. BulWvan,
.who went west to tho scene ot tna airue
o get a little advertising to help him In
la theatrical game, la also among those
who declare, "Never again."
tarn Berger, Jeffries' manager, aays be
never wants to hear ot a prlae fight again.
"I am going tack to my store In Cali
fornia and wilt never again have anything
to do wllh pugilism," said Bam. However,
Uarr.ucl aill have hia band full for some
time : to come before Bottling down , In

Johnson to Sell Aatoa.
Beveral weeks before tha big fight John
son aJd that he was going to do a lot of
cruising- around the country In his auto
mobile, win or lose. He Is still of that
vptnlon. Johnson laid his plans for tha
future Just as carefully aa he trained for
' th--4lght They consisted of a trip east
after the struggle, a long automobile tour,
which will, of course, be enlivened with
frequent arrests, and finally settling down
in Chicago. The Galveeton negro says that
lie Is ultimately going in business In Chi
vaho ' selling automobiles. Johnson, likes
New York for a little high life at Boron.
W llklns' cafe, but he Is bugs on Chicago
as a place to live In.
' The fight between Tommy -Burns and
Bam Langfurd on Labor day will be held
In lleno In the same stadium that Roused
the Jeffrlee-Johnson go. Bums had a lot
of bad luck In Australia. He contracted
ptomaine poison from eating canned fruit
And on top of this his racing stable struck
a losing streak. However, he thinks he
will be In trim to trim Samuel.
"A peculiar-thing about the Jeffries-Johnson
fight was that there were more women
present than at any other prise fight, pos
sibly, ever held In tne United States. .The
women usually occupied the $50 seats ana
irany of them were" unaccompanied. Keno
Is alway full of eastern women, who go
there for divorces. Practically the entire
dlvoice colony turned out for the battle.
As the trouble grew hotter and the excite
ment more Intense - the divorcees and
would-be divorcees became more and more
interested. One would scarcely think that
women could be Interested in a scene that
many describe as degrading' and brutal;
where the blood spatters from the red
dened faces and shoulders of two fighting
men and the shouts of excited spectators
.mingles with the oaths screamed by those
who have bet and fear losses; , where a
thick cloud of rahk tobacco smoke hangs
'low over the assembly and drinking seems
the common - pastime. Nevertheless the
divorcees were mightily Interested.
Jeffries ssys that he Intends to do some
hunting In Africa. The big chap Is a keen
hunter and nothing pleases htm better thaa
.to shoulder a rifle and scour the western
. mountains for deer and bear: His ambi
tion no lino hunt the .bongo, and the
dlg-dlg and other animals of Africa made
r famous by Colonel .Theodora Roosevelt
. Bit Arm t tr.' 1 .
The big arena which was built In Reno
will be retained for future use. The Washoe
county grand Jury supervised the work of
Contractor McLaughlin In order to insure
a safe structure. ' The original plans called
for an arena with a seating capacity for
IT. WW. Later he decided tn tnaka It Mo
Aiough to hold JJ.000 and perhaps more by
crowding. However, it was realised that
ithe Jeffries-Johnson fight will probably be
mat i ... i '.hi ui an vvct a. D,vw or IV,
:WQ crowd at '.he arena.
i The big' structure Is about a quarter of
a mile from the depot, which Is tha cantr.i
point In Keno. It used up 400,000 feet of
1'imner una rive ions or nails.
S It Is estimated that more than $1,000,000
In bets changed hands on ths outcoma of
the Jeffries-Johnson scrap. Of course much
betting was carried on throughout the
country which was not known of at Reno.
Vol)) fighters bet heavily on their own
chances. Frank Sutton, betting commis
sioner of the Johnson crowd, and Tom Cor-
Vett, who acted In a similar capacity for
the Jeffries outfit, say that they handled
Ol-out $750.0110.
The future of boxing In the United States
Is very much In doubt As I have said
elsewhere Nevada Is the only state where
prize fighting Is allowed now subject to
lumiRo. When the next legislature con
venes some of the ministers are going to
make a request that the law legalising
prise rights be repealed.
Governor Dtckcrson of Nevada is a aood
sport. He did not see the fight, but he
visited both training camps and saw the
men spar. In speaking of the outlook for
boxing In his state, he said:
"It all rests with the legislature as to
whether boxing contests for prises and
purses shall be allowed In this state.
toubtles many persons are In favor of a
continuation of the present conditions. On
tho other hand there are some who do not
veueve in eumeaia u& wus sort, j saw
Johnson spar and saw hlrn draw blood upon
his three trainers, but there was nothing
wo very brutal In the work. One newspaper
man from New York asked me If I had
ever seen a fight Aa I had seen many
Where men allot each other to pieces I told
lilm so. He seemed both shocked and sur-
prised at this Intelligence. Tha Nevada
people will get vhat they want from the
, oiiyi whom they elect to the legislature,
True, such contests bring many of out-of
the-state people Into Nevada and eon.e
fluently much money Is circulated tha
wouli not be circulated otherwise, but
the people don't want this the legislature
will repeal the law."

NEW YORK, July .Is It a Jonah to be
one of the shining stars of tha world's
series T ,
The hoodoo that seems to pursue the men
who shir In the big show lead one to be
lieve so.
Bill Lilneen, who practically pitched Bos
ton to a victory over Pittsburg, la now an
umpire on the American league staff. Most
people ara willing to take an oath that no
greater calamity can befall a man.
Billy Gilbert whose batting played as
prominent a part aa Mathewaon's pitching
In the Giants' victory over Philadelphia In
1905, la no longer a big leaguer. He played
bla laat engagement with St Louis and Is
how having his troubles holding up his
end In the minors.
George Rohe, whose work at third base,
and particularly at the bat' made the
White Sox's victory over the Cubs possible
In 1904, has been out of the big league for
several years. He has since shifted hla af
feotlons to first bate and Is playing that
position for the New Orleans team of the
Southern league. .
No two Detroit players played better ball
In the series of l07-than Charley O'Leary
and Claud Kossman. O'Leary Is now play
ing utility roles for the Tigers, while Ross
man has dropped Out of the majors.
Johnny Kllng was tha big show In 1908,
and last year Kllng did not play ball. Be
lieving his work during the season and In
the series had a great deal to do with the
Cubs' success, Kllng held out for a fancy
Increase In salary. He didn't get In and re
fused to play, thereby losing his big sal
ary." Coming down to the series of last year,
take the two Idols of the Pittsburg team-
Babe" Adams and Hans Wagner. Wag
ner, by hla great work In all department
of the game, kept the Pirates In the run-
Ing In every game, while Adama, by
thrice defeating Detroit, made It possible
for the Pirates to be labeled the world'a
champions..' Adams, has been getting hla
bumps regularly thla year, while Wagner
Is hitting like the Immortal Casey.

SHOWS A TEAM'S WEAKNESS

Brewsi Chaage 11 tea ere In Games
Ofteaeat ( All Blgr Leags
Teams.
Ever stop to consider tha number of
games In which one or both teams changes
pltchersT Doean't ' look aa though there
was any appalling amount of pitchers'
domination In view of tha big proportion
of contests In which pltchera are changed.
They are removed for cause pretty often,
and tha cause usually Is Ineffectiveness on
that particular occasion. Sometimes a
pitcher la taken out to aave him for a later
occasion, thla when his team haa a safe
lead, sometimes he goes out merely to majie
way for a pinch hitter, but generally- he
goes because he Is being batted too freely.
Out of tha first 214 games In tha Na
tional league (hla season much more than
half, 1M to be exact found a change In
pltchera by one aide or the other, and often
both. In the American league mere have
been 130 auch games out of 216. There have
been good proportion of gamea In which
a team used three, four and sometimes five
pitchers to a game. If the number of these
changes per team la an Indication . of
pitching weakness then the St. Louis Cardi
nals have the weakest staff in the National
league and the St Louis Browns In the
American.
It will be noticed that In the National
league the club with the supposedly strong
est pitching ataff, the Cubs, haa changed
pltchera the least In the American league
the team with the supposedly best crop of
boxmen, the Athletics, has changed twlrlers
next to the least. The number of times
changes In pitchers have been, made Is an
Indication to a certain extent of pitching
strength and weakness, though not wholly
so. The following records show In. how
many games each club haa used two, three,
four or five pitchers:

HARNESS RACING IS REVIVED
Mora Meetlaga Than In FIt Years
l'aat Are Planned.
DOVER. N. H., July .-Harness racing
over New England tracks is being revived,
and the prospects are that there will be
more racing during the coming season than
at any other time In the laat five years.
The Granite State Park association, owner
of the old trotting park In thla city, has
announced a four-day meeting, the dates
being July 19-22.
The program Includes fourteen races six
for trotters and eight for pacers the cash
premiums being uniformly $300 for each
event
ANNAPOLIS TO GET STADIUM
Board of Visitors Recommends Erec
tion of Straetare.
ANNAPOLIS, Md.. July .-The board of
visitors to the naval academy has recom
mended the erection of a concrete stadium
for the accommodation of the crowds that
visit Anr.apolis for athletic contests. This
will be a great Improvement In conditions
and a thing that the navy folks themselves
could not well undertake because of the
expense under which normally they are for
athletics. The money needed for sports Is
contributed and there are no opportunities
for raising funds by charging admlsalon
to the grounds. This Is not permitted. A
stadium Is something the Navy Athletic
association wants very much.

NEW YORK. July .-The International
Olympic committee held Its meeting recently
at Luxemburg, where the program for the
Swedish Olymple games was discussed. A
number of changes from the list of events
given at London were effected. Several
competitions were dropped and some new
ones put on. Such sporta aa golf, hockey,
foot ball, lacroeae, polo on horseback,
tennis, racquets and boxing were dropped.
Rev. S. de Courcy I-affan, the English
delegate, rpoke In favor of Including box
ing, but after aa objection from ' Colonel
Batch of Sweden the "mainly art" was
tabooed. The standing high and broad
Jumps have been relegated as also the 400
meter hurdlo race. The pentathlon or five
event all around contest will be revived,
but' It will be different from Athens In
1906, aa there will be a 1.500 meter run In
stead of wrestling.
Then there will be a decathlon, ' or ten
event all around, the list being given be
low. The question ot Judging the events was
discussed at length and the Swedes will
appoint foreigners, but they muat not ex
ceed one-third of the whole Jury. Any
country sending an entry of five events will
be entitled to have a representative on the
International Jury. No cable or telegraph
entries will be received by the Swedish
Olympic management
The pentathlon will consist of the broad
Jump, 200. meters flat, discus. Javelin and
1.600 meters flat. The decathlon will In
clude on the first day 100 meters flat, broad
Jump, weight 400 meters flat, high Jump,
and on the second day, hurdles, dlacur,
pole Jump, Javelin and L500 meters flat A
challenge oup has also been offered by
Baron Pierre de Coubertln for a "modern
pentathlon," consisting of a foot (race over
obstacles, shooting, swimming) a test of
horsemanship and a competition In either
boxing, fencing or wrestling.
