NEW YORK. June .3. A condition
unprecedented in the annals of organ

the same field. President John T.
Brush, of the Giants, has offered the
use of the Polo grounds to President
Frank J. Farrell, of the Highlanders,
for any game that he may wish to stag,
there.
The letter from Brush to Farrell ip
which he makes his offer says:
"The increased interest in baseball
will justify your providing greater seal
ing e.ipaeity than heretofore, and the
new Stadium at the, Polo grounds, con
structed last season while the Glints
were playing their schedule at your

your service free of expense."

VVhy. Billy, some one must have
handed you a last year's table of pugi
listic values. Don't you know that
fighters' earnings are based on box of

the attraction is. It Is harder to draw
$20,000 now than It was to entice $50.-

dates back to the time one Jack John

of the universe. If you or some other

and knock the championship out of
him. there will be an immediate revival
of interest in things pugilistic and a
consequent increase in the receipts.
And in the meantime. Mr. Wells, your
schedule of prices is in -ad need of
revising. So little Is known of your
pugilistic ability on Ibis side that you
are like a drummer who is traveling
