Crowd Threatens Umpire
Talladega, .lune 14.—(Special.)—In the
closest and most exciting game of the
season. LaGnutge won from Talladega to
day by the score of 3 to 2. Head pitched
a two hit game, but was exceedingly wild.
L*ftGrange scored one In the seventh on a
hit, a sacrifice and a hit by Antley. Two
were tallied in the eighth on a hit by
Clark and home run by Waldron, the ball
hounding through a hole in left field
fence.
The Indians scored in lie sixth on a
hit, an error by Antley, two bases on
balls and a hit batsman. In the ninth
Sample doubled, went to third on a
passed ball and counted on an out Held
fly. Vandegraft hit to center field fence,
but Antley made a one handed catch of It.
The work of Umpire McKarlanc caused
much wrangling by players of both sides.
In the fifth, after be called Vandergraft
out at second, a crowd from the grand
stand and bleachers rushed on the Meld
and at first it seemed that there would
be trouble, but after a few minutes tlie
crowd was ejected from the field. A.
Vandergraff, the former Alabama star,
was in the game for the Indians and
played an excellent game. Score:

Creating New States
From the Now York Sun.
In the senate of the state of California
recently a resolution was offered to di
vide the commonwealth into two parts,
the northern part to be called as now,
California, and t*he southern part South
Cafeteria. The reason for the resolu
tion was declared to be the insufficient
representation of the California district
in the Cnlted States Senate, as com-,
pared, for instance, with all of Nhw Eng
land.
The creation of a new state confers
a right that cannot later be abrogated,
and In this respect is unique in the
establishment of political areas. After
the people of the district In question
have decided by vote that the carrying
out of a new’ state is desired. Congress
passes upon the application. Cp to this
point Congress is supreme. Once, how
ever, Congress agrees to the new state
creation and the new state becomes an
established fact, then no power of the
republic can undo what has been done
by legislative act. No repeal can revoke
the privileges of a law abiding sovereign
state.
Several times it lias been proposed
tr make two states out of the state of
New York. In fait, resolutions have
been Introduced in the state legislature
| once of twice, hut have <lied in com
mittee. The purpose has been t»» In
clude all of the present state south <>f
Westchester county in a new state to be
called (In one instance) the state of Man
hattan. North of the Bronx district the
name of New York was still to be re
tained. The surrounding islands of the
south-all those of Long Island Sound,
Long Island complete and all of the coun
ties comprising New York city were to
be embraced within the new state of
Manhattan.
Cost of Frenchman's Smoke
Paris.—The figures of the revenue de
rived by tile state from the sale of to
bacco In France for the year 1912 have
lust been published, and are interesting
as showing the remarkable increase In
consumption and revenue over those of
hill.
In the form of pipe tobacco, cigarettes
and cigars; 86,200,000 pounds of tobacco
were consumed last year, which has sup
plemented the funds of the treasury by
*107,500,000.
As compared with the figures fur 1911.
this represents an increase of 2,800,001
pounds of tobacco in the three forms
mentioned, while the revenue has been
augmented by *5.n00,000. There seems every
Indication that the figures for the present
yeal will again show an enormous in
crease.
Wants Bout With “Gun
boat” Smith—No Shines
to Be Fought
lly JKFF THOMPSON
(Copyright. 1913. by the Publishers Press.)
New York. .Tune 14.—If Jim Flynn 1s
nut of tho race for the white hope pre
miership, he does not seem to he a warn
of the fact. Me now wants to fight Gun
boat Smith, and a match between tho
two probably soon' will he arranged,
of Joe Clmyinski, though he is nothing
of Joe Chokinskl, though he is nothing
lik« the fighter J«»e was. The difference
is that in Ohoyineki'S day there was per
haps the greatest aggregation of real
heavyweight fighters the world have ever
seen ut one time which to state it gently,
is not the case now.
< lmylnski was not good enough to win
against, men like Peter Jackson, Sullivan,
Sharkey, Mitchell, Kilrain and half a
dozen other, of i hat generation, but he
would have been able to go through th<5
present, hunch of heavies like a hot knife
[through bull', the blacks not excepted.
However, a fight between Smith and
Flynn should be arranged. If Smith
should win and he ought to it would be
s step upward for the man with the wur
lik« name. Only Pnlzer would stand be
twten him and the top. and at that he
bus as good a chance us a I to tlie head
ship of tlie class.
1 note their* is a disposition on tlie
part of some experts to hold that no man
can he heavyweight champion until he
has met and defeated the three negroes,
Igir.gford, MeVcy or Jeannette. There is
nothing to this. I venture the prediction
that there will never be a heavyweight
« hampionship fight with a negro partici
pant while either of these three smokes is
• 'hie to ftght. We have had in John Ar
thur Johnson one black champion and lie
ha.- been an elegant sufficiency Lor one
generation.

Thai Mike Gibbons is slill suffering
Itoni the blow to his prestige that re
filled from his poor allowing against
Kddie M'Goortv is shown by the fact
that there was less than $i:KH) in the
house when he met Jimmy Perry at Pitts
burg recently. The management wanted
to call off the bout at the last moment,
but Gibbous decided to go on, rather
I Hum become implicated in another affair
| that would detract from his standing.
Noting the vacant chairs Gibbons wanted
the management to cut out all the pre
liminaries in order to reduce expenses,
but this the club officers refused to do.
A the main bout lasted less than two
rounds, by refusing they escaped creating
a new record.
Gibbons appears to have recovered hi3
old form.

If Bombardier Wells slays In the light
'-.Mini' he’ll ho up against Johnily' Coulon
before long, and be In for the worst
boating of his career. Bombardier started
with Al Palzer. 210 pounds, and got a
fair trimming after showing signs of be
ing a fighter. A little later he got Gun
boat Smith, who weighs about 185 pounds,
and got it harder and more severely than
Palzer dealt out. And then came Georges
(’arpentier. Frenchman. who weighs
nboutt 170 pounds. BomtJlF took some
liH.oi woiliopinw and a four-round beat
ing.
'Inasmuch a Rom hardier made Ids bast
showing against the heavier Palzer it
would be sensible if he stuck to the big
uns and lot the smaller men alone. They
do say that Wells never did recover
from that punch Smith slipped him in the
ga r’den.
Much interest., is felt by eastern light
fans' in you Mg Bob McAllister, of San
Francisco. Those who have seen him
fight in the west say lie lias everything
• i champion needs. Ills physical makeup
is perfect. Neat ly six feet tall, he is lean
end sinewy and symmetrical. HD reach
is as great as that of Fitzsimmons, win
stretched 75 Inches irorn tip to tip, arms
extended. He is very fast irt action, ani
ids quick mind enables him to take in
*t;iiit advantage of ids opponents. Added
! to f lev^euess he lias i knockout punch In
light or foft. boxing in somewhat, the
stylr of Ketchel, IJ♦* is eool, determined.
«h*ar mouthed. Rh say* the California
fight followers
We will soon have a chance to see
him In action here in Xew York, for
he has weeded . out the local middle
weight crop to such an extent that to
keep busy he will have to come east and
engage with Klaus. Papke, Dillon and
other notables of the ring, who claim
I that middlew eight title he wants.
