I/N THE WORLD OF SPORT
Actual steps looking to a fight be
tween James J. 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

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,

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.

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

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.”

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.”

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.
