S SPORTS. RETORT COURTEOUS Local Baseball Management Says Havenor of Milwaukee Talks Through His Chapeau. Statement That .Minneapolis Was in Financial Stsaits Last Year - , Is Resented. The local baseball management is busily grinding an ax with a. view to using the implement at the first convenient oppor tunity upon the person of President Have nor of the Milwaukee American associa tion clu b. I n an interview in A recent issue of Sporting Life, Havenor is quobed as say ing that the Minneapolis and Toledo clubs were in sore financial straits during the latter part of the season of 1902. T o this allegation President Johnston and Man ager Wilmot take decided exception. 'We may have been In financial diffi culty," said Johnston to-day, "but we paid all the bills we owed, and we are not in debted to the association for a cent for railroad fare. That is more than Mil waukee can say, for I know by the state ment of Hickey himself that the associa tion holds a neat little bills against the brewers. S o far as Toledo is concerned, that club made more money last year than Milwaukee did." Letters are pouring into the local base ball office from the various players, who appear to be anxious for the season to open. The letters are a good deal alike, for all the men express a desire to get ini,o the harness as soon as possible. "I wish the season would open to-morrow," is a common expression in the epistles re ceived by Wilmot. The miller manager is one of the men who fought hard for the rule providing that the pitcher's box shall not be raised more than fifteen inches above the level oi the diamond. The significance of this rule is not appreciated by many of the local fans, for the twirler's slab at Nicol let park was only raised during one game last season, and then only a few inches. During the rest of the season the pitcher's box was on a level with the rest of the diamond. I n other cities, however, the same rule did not apply. 'Why, in some towns around the cir cuit last year," said Wilmot, "the pitcher's slab was as much as three or four feet above the base lines. I t was just like throwing them down a well to pitch on those grounds. A lot of men kick on the new rule, but when it is in operation thoy will see that it is a good thing." President Pulliam of the National league has a plan to establish at the National headquarters in the S t James building, New Yor k, a nail of f?mo foi the cham pion players in the league H e has or dered W . H . Locke, secretary of the Pitts burg club, to have a life-size picture made of Clarence Beaumont, the Pittsburg fielder and champion batter of la--t year, to be the first to adorn the hall. A large picture of the Pittsburgs will be taken lor the same puipose. The American Baseball league resumed the sessions of the annual meeting in New York yesterday. A t the conclusion of the meeting Johnson said. "We have just closed the deal for our grounds here. W e have adjourned to meet again to-morrow, when we shall award the New York franchise, and then all the information relative to the club will be given out. W e shall then make pub!ic all our plans " Furthei than this President Johnson de clined to say anj thing. The Portland Baseball club filed suit against the Pacific Northwest league z,t Spokane. Wash , to compel the recogni tion of the club by the league, enjoin in terference and secure an accounting. The complaint charges that the league en deavored to harrass the Portland club last season and ihrow the pennant to Butte. It also chaiges that William Gold man, Portland's representative, was ex cluded from the directors' meeting Dec. 29 and his club expelled without a trial. Dale Gear, manager of the Kansas City American Association club, announces that he has finally secured Billy Malo'hey to catch for tie Blues. Maloney was With Cincinnati last season. Milwaukee fcnd Kansas City have been fighting over the man ever since he was released by the Reds. John O'Neill of St. John. N . B., con sidered one of the best second basemen and batters in Canadian baseball circles, has been signed to play with the Milwau kee team during the coming season.

Burgess of Patton, Pa., Prefers Prize Fight to Game of Ping - Pong. Danny Needham, former welterweight champion of the world, was arrested at Eau Claire, Wis., yesterday charged with grand larceny. Needham is accused of stealing a gold watch and $30 cash from A . M. Silbermagrel, a New York traveling man, at the Ryan hotel, in St. Paul, Feb. 22. Needham and Silbermagel occupied adjoining rooms, connected by an inside door. I t is alleged that Needham entered the traveling man's room while the latter slept, and ransacked his clothes. Dan M. Harper, the new burgess of Patton, Pa., has signalized his advent in office by issuing a permit for a prize fight witha string to it. Jack O'Brien of Morristown, and James McAvoy of Patton, have signed ah agree ment for a fifteen-round battle at Pat ton Saturday night for a purse of $200 and the gate receipts. Before Burgess Harper would give his consent to the contest the managers were obliged to allow the burgess to appoint three reputable citizens to sell tickets and hold the cash until the fight is over. A t the first sign of intimation that the scrap is a fake, the spectators will receive their money back. The burgess states that the license was given for a fight and not for a game of ping-pong. "Philadelphia" Jack O'Brien was given the decision over Jim Jeffords of Cali fornia at the end of a ten-round fight at Pittsburg. Jeffords weighed about 25 pounds more than O'Brien, and while he did good work at close range, he was no match for O'Brien, who outpointed him in every round. Joe Wa'lcott secured the decision in a ten-round bout with Mike Donovan. Donovan stood his punishment well, but was entirely outclassed by the negro, who landed his blows at will and where he pleased, except in the sixth and seventh rounds, when Donovan made a stand and kept h te opponent busy avoiding his fierce lunges. Gus Ruhlin and "Mexican Pete" Ever ett were scheduled to go six rounds at Philadelphia last night. The bout, how ever, lasted but a few minutes and was a miserable exhibition on the part of Ev erett. A t the beginning of the second round he received a right-hand blow on the face, dropped to the floor and took the count. Fitzsimmons and O'Brien failed to sign articles yesterday for their fight, but it is said they will do so on .Saturday. Jimmy Britt sent his right low once too often at Portland last night, and Jack O'Keefe won in the sixth round of a fight that promised TO be most exciting. Referee Jack Grant giving him the deci sion on a foul blow. I t was a palpable foul and admitted by every one who saw the fight, with the exception of the San Francisco contingent. U p to- the time the last foul blow was struck, neither of the men had any great advantage over the other, although the work of the Chicagoan was a great sur prise to those in attendance, as they had anticipated that he would be an easy vic tim for the Californian. If Tommy Ryan keeps his Word he will not be seen in the ring again after May 1. According to a dispatch from Hot Springs, th middle-weight champion has made a dicker with the Missouri Athletic club of St. Louis to become that organization's boxing instructor. Contracts to bind the bargain have been drawn up and Ryan is expected to sign them this week. It is understood that Ryan is to receive a large yearly salary as instructor and that his duties will not be too arduous.

MOYE TO KILL FOOTBALL Opposition to the Game at Harvard Is Stronger Than Was , Supposed. committee last night did not bring about committe last night did not bring about any definite results but several important matters wtre up for discussion and it is evident that the game of football is still hanging fire at Harvard. The agreement which was |gntatively drawn up with "Yale at Sprir^ield last Saturday was not ratified but the mem bers of the committee expressed no doubt that the agreement would be ratified \ery soon when one or two matters had been fixed u p. A t the meeting last night Captain Marshall, Coaches Lewis, Farley and Ben Dibble were present and laid before the members the advantages and disadvan tages of football as it is played to-day. Nothing was definitely done but the fact that the matter was discussed at all shows that the rumor that Professor Hollis was not the only member of the faculty who was of the opinion that football should be improved or abolished. I n fact it is now freely admitted that there has been a petition before the faculty to abolish football and that the petition has been referred to the athletic committee for definite action. Another meeting of the committee will be held on Fridaj night. Special Rates to California and Arizona. $32.90 via Chicago Great Western railway. Tickets on sale daily from Feb. 15 to Aprii 30.
