be-t r.nd cleverest middleweights

Miko Gibbons is much like Jimmy

that Jimmy Clabby is" better than! weight sent here by England a few
Tommy Ryan, and showed him some '.years ago.'' He may not be as clever
tricks that he himself never dreamed ! as Driscoll it is doubtful if there
Gibbons ' would be as interesting ' a
middleweight fight as was ever seen
in the United States. : But though
both men insist they are anxious to
meet, promoters have found it dif
ficult to bring them together. , ,

New York, Dec. 29. If the reform,
ers of the fighting game in this state
have their way during the coming
session of the legislature there will
be no more 'boxing. Despuite the of

ELECTRIC LIGHTS WERE INVENTED TO SUPPLY
A NECESSITY. ALL OTHER METHODS OF CREAT
ING ARTIFICIAL light were unsatisfactory. Candles
wer dim and unreliable; gas, dirty and dangerous; kero-
sept, dull, smoky, odorous and also dangerous to health
and property. When elctric lights were introduced there,
was but one drawback. They cost considerably more than
other lights. This objection has been overcome and elec
tric lights are now the most economical as well as the
most satisfactory light.

are not entirely without support and
sympathy. When the last attempt
was made to repeal the Frawley law
it almost met with success. Lawmak
ers from upstate sustained the re
peal vigorously as the sentiment to
ward the sport in their districts was
anything but favo.rable.
; During that time the reformers
spread . stories of frame-up fights,
betting,, and "gave instances of bru
tality. The same tactics it is be
lieved, will be restored to this time
with" the Smith Coffey bout which
was fought early this month used as
an instance.
It is alleged that during the fight
ringside spectators violated the bet
ting law and several witnesses can he
produced who saw transactions made
and odds offered of 11 to 10 on Smlt'.i.
It -is quite possible that Governor
elect Whitman will do something to
save the exit of the pugilist. But his
attitude is unknown beyond that fact
that he has stated that he is not op
posed to the game, properly con
ducted. . ' '
SALARIES IN ST. LOUIS.
It is being broadly hinted that de
spite the ruling of the '.. National,
league that no club should report for
Spring training before March 1, sev
eral managers have ordered the ap
pearance of their teams at least one
week ahead of that date for practice.

Mound City Ball Playtra Are Well Paid
For Work.
Dick Collins, a writer ou the St
Louis Hepublic, snys that St. LouU
pays more for Its ball players and re
ceives lens In return for its 'money
tlmu any city In the big league class.
Fielder A. Jones, manager of the St
Louis Feds, iis.surod Collins that WUlie
Doak's contract with tbe Cardinals for
1915 calls for $o,400.- .
Mr. Joiifi also vouched for tbe fact
that Hill James, the leading pitcher of
the National Icugue, will draw $4,000
with tbe Boston Natlnnnls next year.
Jones n lso states tliat Ty Cobb as
sured him Unit "Stuffy" Mclnnls was
working for less tbitu $3,000 in Phila
delphia. How uud why are Boston
and Philadelphia mnmigcrs successful
In persuading .good players to work
for less -money than tbe same grade of
talent would command In tbe west?
. There Is some excuse for Mclnnls
shading in favor of Connie Mack, an
Inveterate pennant winner and world's
series wizard, but Stall Ings Is Just
breaking Into tbe limelight in that re
spect. " -
What's tbe secret of his hold on the
ball players? Uow does be get by
with , It? "Sky" Brltton bad an odd
experience along these lines when be
traded Larry McLean for Doc Cran
dalL Doc objected to the transfer;
tSrlttou assured lilm that St Louis
would take over bis contract with the
Giants. Even that assurance didn't
satisfy Cmndull.
"SlcGrnw will get rid of you sooner
or Inter." said Brltton. "You're mark
ed for slaughter. Why hnng around
till they guillotine you?"
Dpon Investigating Brltton learned
that Crandall was earning $3,000 per
annum with the Giants. The Cards
pay that Rind of mouey to their second
string men. The prospect of figuring
in tbe world's xerles is the magnet that
enables McGruw and Mnck to round
up their players so easily . and cheaply.
