LOS ANGELES, Cal.—That Jas.
J. Jeffries, in response to the request,
of the sporting public that he attempt
to wrest the heavyweight champion
ship from Jack Johnson, may decide
to don the gloves again is a belief
that is strengthened by the announce
ment of those close to the former
champion that he will begin light gym
nasium work today, and continue
working out three times a wek.
Jeffries, himself, continues to deny
that he has decided to fight Johnson,
but those closest to him expect the
statement from him at any minute
that he will try conclusions with the
new champion.

Macon’s shortstop of the season of
1906, Johnny Bammert, will play hall
with Long Jim Fox in Columbus this
year. He has signed a contract and
will report in March. When Johnny
played with Macon he was the best
fielding shortstop in the league, but
was weak at the bat. If he has im
proved in stickwork, Columbia’s
shortstop field will be well covered. —

Bill Smith says that Columbus, Ga.,
will have one of the best teams ever
organized in a minor league. The
names of such players as John Mas
sing, Ross Helm, “Pop” Eyler, Johnny
Bammert, Hille, Jim Fox, Dolly Stark
and others of equal ability give food
for reflection. Manager James Fox
will also receive help in the wny of
material from both Toledo and At

the league.—Columbia State.
Mr. William Banks, city editor of

Two Big Holiday Dates
Both on Sunday in 1909
When the baseball schedule-makers
start work on the dates for this sea
son they will he confronted with a
rather funny proposition. In 1909 the
two big holiday events of the year
happpen to fall on Sunday. At a
glance it would seem that this Is
rather a bad thing for the baseball
moguls, but such is far from being
the case. It is a rule that when a
national holiday faljs <?n Sunday the
following day shall be the one reo
ognized as the day of celebration.
Thus baseball patrons all over the
country will celebrate the Fourth of
July by seeing two games on July 5.
Last year both dates happened to
fall on a Saturday and as a result

Cotton States Will Fine
The Boisterous Managers
JACKSON, Miss. —A new rule adopted by the hoard of directors of
the Cotton States League is that when a manager takes his team off
the field he, and not the team, sh all be fined for the offence. Instead
of fining the club SIOO to $250 the manager will be fined SSO here
after.
President Phil Merril, the newly elected head of the Cotton States
League predicts a successful season for that league this year. He says
that everything tends in that direction and that If all th§ clubs work In
harmony In matters of business an d the adhere strictly to the salary
limit. He Is satisfied that the clubs are disposed to reduce expenses as
much as possible will be stay near the salary limit, and will give the
patrons of this league as good an article of the national sport as pos

ATLANTA WINTERS

ATLANTA. —Gussie Lawson and
Willie Bowles will arrive in Atlanta
Thursday afternoon, and will be the
guests of Bobbie Walthour.
The arrival of these two men*' will
make up quite a little colony at the
home of the Atlanta rider. He now
has with him Frank Cadwell, who a
few years ago, was well known to
patrons of the cycle game all over
the country. Cadwell rode a number
of races in Atlanta at the old Col
iseum and experienced a very severe
injury there one night when he got.
a pretty bad fall,
Bowles Is an Atlanta man, but sev
eral years ago gave up the riding end
of the game to become a trainer.
Just now he is in the spotlight from
having stopped over at Washington
to see President Roosevelt. His ob
ject in doing this was to offer..his ser
vices to the president as trainer to
prepare him for his coming African
trip. Bewles thinks the president
should have a good man put him in
shape for the hardships he will have
to endure. He is alßo firmly aonvinc
ed he is the one to turn the trick.

urday Is always good for a big crowd
under any conditions. In compiling
(he schedule, Saturday and Sunday
dates are always regarded as the
choice plums. Last year, however, on
two occasions it was a case of losing
big crowds on Saturday because the
big holidays happened to fall on that
day.

THRO’A LORGNETTE!
Winter has conquered Summer. I
For some months past there has ;
been a charming little flirtation be-'
tween the two, but it was nothingi
more than a flirtation, for Summer 1
has not beeh in the least Inclined to !
regard Winter's advances seriously.
Being left to work her own sweet j
will for so long a time, Summer has I
naturally grown a little more inde- j
pendent than usual, and baa not lies- j
Haled to ignore repeatedly the long
icy linger that more than onco has 1
menaced her from the north.
She has been greedy about hoi
roses, and has made them bloom and
hloont and spread abroad their ex
quisite perfume long .after they
should have been tucked warmly i i
bed for the months of sleep that
would have meant fresh vigor for the
new life tn A] r. 1 ami May. 'lt will
lie fun,” she has said, "to make vio
lets and narcissi bloom with holly
and mistletoe, and to rouse the jon
o.uils when they have hardly gone
to sleep.” Then merrily she would j
go to work playing her unexpected |
pranks, pausing only to nod and i
Pintle when the glistening ice finger
would be shaken once more, never
showing she heeded it by so much
as a convulsive shiver.
"The girls,” lias said Summer, "are
lovely in their filmy gowns that be
long io the Southland. Do let us
give them un opportunity to wear
them.” With which she would shake
out her own rosy robes until every
snowy cnmelia tree was made to
blush to crimson, and all she land
was lighted with the glory that is
Georgia's when the sun shines with a
semi-tropic heat.
Ah, it was Winter who must be
sent to conquer thin wayward girl.
At first the wooer made his advances
boldly, and Bummer showed signs of
weakening, but not for long She
was so praised and flattered not only
by the home people but by those
! from other lands where she was less
well-known, that she began to be
more arlsh than ever, while poor
Winlor'a chances grew less and less
| good. But like all strong men,
Winter was determined and persist
ent Some three or four days ago,
there was a rumor to the effect, that
Summer was weakening, but the
bets were even that she would neve r
be conquered.
But might was on Ills side, and
i where lives the woman who does not
j adore both mental and physical
strength In a man? Then too, there
; was a good deal of talk about how
desirable was Winter from many
standpoints.
“You need him to help you in the
work of nature," said some good ad
visers. "And he is so handsome in
his garments of snow and ice," said
others. "And people will appreciate
your beauty so much more lu con
trast,” said others.
Evidently this last sot Summer lo
thinking, and she began to listen to
Winter’s pleadings with a more len
ient ear.
He grew less bold, more insidious
slowly but, surely was he advancing
At first pretty Summer shivered, and
was almost afraid, especially when
she saw her roses beginning to drVop,
but. the fascination was too strong
for her.
Melodious beyond all conceiving
was the voice of love In the pines
shaken by the breath of Winter, and
sweet beyond all thinking was the
promise of rest, on a breast so wide
and strong.
The great arms were opened wide
and Winter put on his most, pleasing
aspect. Summer gave one regretful I
glance at her perishable rosy drape
ries, gave one gentle sigh, hesitated
for the fraction of a moment and
then sank Into the embrace which
now holds her close to that wildly
beating heart.
