Jeffries and Jack Johnson, for the heavyweight cham pionship of the world, were taken when Jeffries, on his arrival in New York city from the west, posted $6,000 as a forfeit to bind a match with the negro pugilist for a fight of anywhere from twenty to a hundred rounds. Jeffries insists that the fight shall be before the club offei'ing the largest purse, and that when articles are signed an additional forfeit of $5,000 shall be posted. The whole sum of $20,000 is to go to the winner of the mill. Jeffries will leave for a short European trip in a few days. He will visit the springs of Carlsbad, in Bohemia, and will do a little pre liminary training there. He plans to be ready to fight within five months. On posting his forfeit, Jeffries isssued the following statement: "After de cisively convincing myself that it is easily possible for me to defend my title as champion of the world in a’s good a condition as ever before in my life, 1 am today posting my for feit to meet the claimant of the title, Jack Johnson. In reference to those who have been skeptical about my in tention of meeting Johnson, I wish to say that when first recalled from re tirement, 1 said that I would never agree to oppose anybody in the prize ring until I was convinced that I could regain my former physical con dition. After being absolutely satis fied of the same, I staled I would post my forfeit at the expiration of my theatrical contractt. My theatri cal contract having expired, I am posting my money, sincerely hoping that Johnson is as anxious for the match as he has made it apepar, and that he will be as ready to live up to his statements as I am.” “I’ll leave for New York at once, and cover that forfeit,” said Jack Johnson, the colored champion pugi list of the world, when shown a dis patch to the effect that Jeffries had posted a forfeit in New York of $5,000 to meet him. Johnson said he was not surprised to hear that Jeffries had posted the forfeit. "I expected he would do something of the kind,’’ said Johnson, “as a sort of bluff, and to make good his statement that he would fight me. I will be ready to fight almost any time. I think 1 am in condition now to clean up Jeffries within fifteen rounds.” Johnson said he preferred to meet Jeffries in San Francisco. To the surprise of every lover of out-door sports in Georgia, the house committee on education favorably re ported on the bill introduced by Rep resentative Adams, prohibiting inter collegiate games on the part of teams representing colleges of Georgia, un less these games are played on the team’s own campus. A vigorous fight will be made on this bill and its en emies believe that it will be killed. It is necessary, however, for those who favor intercollegiate athletics to make some immediate movement to sare sports in Georgia colleges. Governor Shaffroth of Colorado de clares that the law against prize fighting will be enforced during his term, and that there will be no fight between “Philadelphia” Jack O’Brien and Jim Flynn in the auditorium in Denver. The Denver Christian Citi zenship union is also demanding that the law be enforced and is depending upon the governor to act. Option on the Memphis Southern League franchise has been given by F. P. Coleman, holding a'controlling interest, to a party of Chicago lumber men for a stated sum of $25,000. 11l health of Coleman is the cause for the change. The Brooklyn National Club has bought left fielder Wheat of the Mo bile team. New Orleans released Bartley to At lanta because of laziness. Since join ing the latter team he has more than made good. He is the league’s win ning pitcher and helped materially to put Atlanta in first place. A month ago Atlanta was making strenuous efforts to strengthen at first base and in right field. Then all of a sudden her pitchers got going good and winning their games, and it was thought no new men were need ed. Should their pitchers have a bad streak you may look for a drop. Bob Thackham, left-handed pitcher for Greenville, Carolina association team, who has won the majority of the games he has pitched, has been signed by the Spartanburg team of the same league. A unique feat in baseball, a triple play unassisted, was commemorated at the Cleveland, Ohio, baseball park when Neal Ball, who recently, when the Cleveland team was playing Bos ton, put out three of the Red Sox unaided, was presented with a beau tiful gold medal by the admiring fans of Cleveland. Ben Johnson, president of the American league, who made the presentation, has declared that It was the first unassisted triple play recorded in big league history. Baseball clubs In the Tennessee and Virginia Coal Fields league have com menced competition for a silver lov ing cup, the gift of Frikzi Schneff, the song bird, who is resting in the mountains near Bristol, Tenn., at the bungalow of her husband, John Fox, Jr., the writer. Mrs. Fox has become interested in baseball although a for eigner by birth, and in an exciting extra inning contest last week she was the most conspicuous person on the grounds owing to her interest tak en in the game. John A. Heydler, secretary and treasurer of the National League of Professional Baseball clubs, has as sumed charge of the business affairs of the league. The Southern League twlrlers are getting better and better, as can be seen by the scarcity of .300 hitters there is this season. There is not a man who is batting .300 who has been in enough games to warrant his be ing there. The real leader of the league 16 McGllvray, the right flejd er of the Barons. He is batting .285. Ncah Henline, the Birn.*ngham left fielder, has the honor of being the first Southern League player to pass the 100 mark in hits. Molesworth is the next man in the line with 92 hits. Dick Bayless, the fast little center fielder of the Atlanta team, is the leading run-getter to date, having made 54 trfps to the pan. Persons of Montgomery is second with 51 tai lies. The Montgomery Baseball Associa tion is practically on the market and it is understood that Chattanooga en thusiasts are dickering for the frau chise and team of the local club. ”W* are making no bones about it,” said Robert J. Chambers, president of the Montgomery Baseball Club, when ask ed for an expression on the matter of selling the Montgomery franchise to the highest bidders. “It is a fact, and a deplorable one, but it’s hasten ed by necessity. In supplementing whatever reasons Montgomery stock holders might have for disposing of the franchise, as discussed at a meet ing of the board of directors recently, Mr. Chambers stated that for month? past the attendance has been gradu ally falling off, with the result that it is far below the required mark to constitute success. The final result, he says, is that there must either be relief secured by the sale of the fran chise, or relief from the sportsmen of Montgomery in more regularly attend ing the games. A baseball umpire has no legal right to draw a revolver for protection even if he sees forty or more infuri ated fans rolling up their sleeves and lushing toward him. This, in effect, was the decision of Municipal Judge Gocdnow in Chicago court, when he fined R. L. O’Keefe, 19 years old, an umpire of the Chicago Amateur League, the costs of court on a charge of disorderly conduct. The Bougiasville baseball team doubts the right of the Atlanta Ath letic Club to the amateur champion ship of Georgia, and challenges them to a series of games to be played In Douglasville to settle this claim. James J. Jeffries, the heavyweight boxer, did not appear in .New York City for the benefit of crippled chil dren at the Polo Grounds because he was operated on the preceding night for an abscess which had been add ing to the worries of the former champion. This abscess was a boil that had been enlarged,” said Jeffrie3. “You know that even a boil on a strong men's neck is often very trou blecome.” “Ty” Cobb’s fleetness on the bases has at last been accounted for. He wears a separate pair of playing shoes when going to bat. This may explain why Cobb has been getting a few stolen bases this year, for some of the fielders are a trifle spike-shy. and Tyrus takes advantage of this weakness. As the season wear's on the batting phenoms of the big league drop out of the head of the percentage column. The real leaders, by virtue of their great ability, are beginning to mani fest themselves. It is Cobb in the American and Wagner in the National League. A charter was granted the Macon Baseball Association by Judge W. H. Felton, and the owners met and made Newt Etheridge president. The new organization will push for success of the Macon Club. Jack O’Brien’s ladylike fighting came to grief in Denver, Colo., in a six round bout with Jim Flynn, the Pueblo fireman, who punched him all around the ring. About 6,000 persons saw' the fight. No decision is permit ted in Denver, but there was no doubt about the verdict of the crowd, which was in favor of Flynn. It was not until the fifth round that O’Brien was able to pull himself together and do any semblance of damage.| A trade has been made between the manager and owners of the Ma con ball club and the Atlanta club, by w'hich Dick Rohn goes to the Cen tral City and Jim Lafitte becomes the property cf Atlanta. Frank Huelsman of New Orleans is the kingpin home run hitters in the Southern League, with four cir cuit clouts. Here are the figures of the players who have made two home runs or more: Huelsman, 4; Dexter, 3; Smith, 2; Pepe, Healine, 2; Casey, 2; Sentz, 2. The Clan-Na-Gael track and field games at Celtic Park, L. I„ were pro ductive of a new world’s record in the two hops and jump. Daniel F. Ahern of the Irish-American Athletic Club covered 50 6 1-2 inches, which is 6 Inches more than the recognized rec ord of the world made by Dan Shan nahan of Limerick, Ireland, nearly 20 years ago. Noah Henline, the fleet Birmingham outfielder, leads the Southern League players in the number of hits made, and' he is yet the only Southern League player to reach and pass the 100 mark. He has made 105 bingles. Molesworth of the same team is sec ond with 95 bingles and Weimer of New Orleans third with 94. Here are the figures of the players who have made 80 hits or more: Henline, lo : # Molesworth, 95; Weimer, 94; McGn vray, 92; Kerwin, 91; Sentell, 89; Coulson, 88, Bayless, 87; Daly, 85; Robertson, 84; Collins, 84; Bay 83; Sentz, 83; East, 82; Wheat, 81; Dex ter, 80; Hulesman, 80; Baerwald, 80; Cocash, 80 PLENTY OF PROSPERITY Crops Are Booming and the Farmers Are Happy. RAILROADS ORDERING CARS Considerable Improvement in the Busi ness Situation Is Shown By the Government Report. New York City.—Walter Scott, vice president of a large merchandise con cern, has returned here with glowing reports of prosperity of the west, through which he makes a yearly trip of inspection. “Never in my life did I see such optimism as now prevails every where among farmers, bankers, rail road men and all others. The crops are booomlng, corn and wheat nota bly. I think both of them will have the largest crops in history. “We sent out one hundred men all over the south to look over the field, and report on general business and industrial conditions. Those reports have just come in. I never have met anything like this set. On every hand they report prosperity.” Washington, D. C. —A considerable improvement in the business situa tion as compared with conditions pre vailing a year ago is noted in a re port just made public by the bureau of statistics regarding lake traffic for the month of June last. It is shown that the domestic ship ments from lake ports of leading classes of commodities totaled 10,- 179,633 net tons, compared with 7,- 427,616 net tons shipped during June, 1908. The domestic shipments for the current season to the end of June —18,589,552 —5h0w a total of about 65 per cent in excess of the total do mestic shipments for the correspond ing period in 1908. The iron ore shipments for the month, 5,250,657 gross tons, were more than double those shipped dur ing June, 1908. Lumber shipments during the month were largely in excess of June, 1908, and Indicate improved condi tions in the building trade. New York City.—Car manufactur ers all over the country are now flood ed with orders for a vast amount of equipment. The New York Central has ordered two thousand four hun dred box cars, especially designed for carrying automobiles. The Buffalo, Rochester and Pittsburg has placed an order for one thousand steel’ hop per cars. The Boston and Maine has ordered ten locomotives. The Bos ican Locomotive company. The Bos ton and Maine has also placed an or der for one thousand freight cars; the Missouri, Oklahoma and Gulf has ordered fifty freight cars and the Great Northern and Northern Pacific, one thousand each. It is said that the eight thousand freight cars for which the Baltimore and Ohio is in the market will be in creased to ten thousand and that a large amount of passengers equip ment will be ordered in addition. The Pennsylvania railroad is making in quiries for eight thousand freight care of different types and the Brook lyn Rapid Transit company, it is said, is about to purchase two thousand cars of both the open and closed kind New' York City.—“ The output of iron and steel in the United States in the year 1910 will be the largest in the history of these industries.” The president of the billion dollar United States Steel Corporation, Wli liam EllLs Corey, once described by ex-Judge Elbert H. Gary, chairman of the board of directors of that great corporation, as the “greatest steel maker in the world,” made this pre diction with all the assurance of ab solute conviction. Asked on what he based his belief, he said; “Present indications indicate that this year will show a high water mark in that base of all prosperity, the crops. With the prospect of a yield of more than 3,000,000,000 bush els of corn and of other cereals in proportion, nothing but the greatest catastrophe can prevent a big boom in business. Then you have the pros perity of manufactures in general. Conditions all over the country have improved strikingly and will continue to •improve.” WILL FIGHT MOSPTO. New Orleans Will Set an Insect to Catch an Insect. New Orleans, La.—A new method to be employed in the crusade against the mosquito is being actively urged by Councilman Frawley of this city. "It has been proved,” declared Councilman Frawley, “that what it commonly known as the hair worm has a family feud with the mosquito. We should confront the mosquito with this worm. We should convey the latter in large quantities to the swamps, morasses, gutter and cis terns, and leave them In soak to wait for their hereditary enemies.” PBOHIBITIOMISTS WIN ILECTION. Santa Rosa County, Florida, Gives “Drys” a Landslide. Pensacola, Fla.—Returns of the wet and dry elections in Santa Rosa coun ty show that the prohibitionists had a veritable landslide in the special elec tion. The county was voted dry two years ago, and this election was call ed by a petition of the saloon ele ment. Owing to disorders, hereto fore, when saloons were run in Mil ton the residents voted against sa loons, afid the fact that Pensacola is within a short distance caused them to lean further towards a dry town, being able to secure liquor within a few hours from this city. r MERRY SIDE 1 ' OF LIFE, f IS IT YOU* There’s some cuss who’s alius knockin'—* Is it you?
