Unless the teoanoKe i hamplons are
going In good form, they will llmi
themselves ousted from first place
following their two series with the
Colts and the Richmond club will tie
perched at the top. Beginning with
Thursday, the two clubs meet for a
series of six games, three to be play
ed here and three at the homo town
of the Tigers.
At ter a good, long rest, the two
club* should be in their best form ;
alter a good warming up, and which
ever one wing will have no ea*y time
of It. It is quite likely that the Colts
Will get tile better pt the champs Iri j
the series here, but the tables may
be turned on them when they go back
to Roanoke for the other three
games.
The big flag raising ceremonies
which are to be held tn Roanoke pre
ceding the first game will have a
tendency to make tne Tigers do their
best. While the < "Its are a little lia
ble to have an off day. It would be
a shame to go to the home of the
Tigers and take the f*ig side of -the
series tmm-dlately following their
Joyous flag raising and celebration
i last .'car's success. As the special
guests ol the Roanoke club, it would
hardly he nice for the Colts to do.
I at w tor. however, js not a man of
sentiment, and It may he expected
that the locals "ill Put up a strong
effi rt, and if they do not take all
three of the games fro mthe Tigers
it w 111 be because they are either out
played or have pretty hard luck. ,
Both clubs will try to make, a good
•tart in the double series t>> captur
ing the first (rame. For Richmond
JteveHe will very likely he in the box
,nd Tom Meraltt, whose Iraiture has
mended n. ely, will he in harness be
hind the plate. The t’hamps will
very probably use their most suoeese
ful man. Aniirada. who defeated the
Colts til an extra inning game in the
last .-.He* here This twirler *u*
luck- In the last game, and unless
he Is equally so this lime the Colts
will take the game.
After such a long rest, the .an»
ha-e nothing to tftik about in base
ball. and all are Hungry for some
thing to occupy their minds again.
3,.>r >hi* reason, it. UbWtwt .iik*!>. that
t-Ue. .park- wUl, 'i*. 'Veil. JiDed w h.c,n the
first game logins. The present se
ries "111 probably draw bigger crowds
than have yet seen a series this sea
son. since the outcome may mean
that the Colts will go to the top.
Manager Raw lor is expected Thurs
day. and will take charge of the
team immediately upon his arrival
It is not expected that he will make
am changes in the team as it now
stands, with the exception of a leit
fielder. The pitcher question will be
settled as soon as Salve gets his in
jured finger cured up ,
It may be expected that the volts
w-tll brace up considerably when
ihtlr manager is In charge again,
though they have been going in most
excellent form for the past two weeks.
With a little more life now it will be
a hard matter tor the other clubs
of the league to stop Ihem laiwlor
IS the man to put life Into them, and
they will from this time on begin to
climb for the top
Tom Messltl. the veteran catcher,
on whose shoulders has fallen the
weight of team management since
l^awlor left, deserves a vote of thanks
both from the club management and
from all the local fan*. Messltt has
managed the team in a most credita
ble fashion, and under his guidance
the Colts have played remarkably well.
Meswitt will doubtless be glad to hand
the reins over to lj»wlor and take his
place on the bench as an humble
player lie found the Job of man
agin gthe Colls no easy task, and he
does not envy 1-awlor his position.
Owner Bradley has received a let
ter front Curley Brown, stating that
he has succeeded In curing his "char
ley horse" and is ready to report for
work. Brown will reaoh here Fri
day. and 1ft a few days will know
-whether or not he will havo a Job with
the Colts for the rest of the season.
Owner Bradley stated Thursday that
there la little chance of Brown dis
placing Shaw at third base now, since
the other man Is playing the position
satisfactorily. He said that Brown
may not even be given a tryout, but
that Rawlor would attend to this,
and whatever he decides will be done.
Brown started off well thia season,
and made a favorable impresalon on
ali who saw itlac Dlayv His aUagjc of
charley horse handicapped him In his
play, and he was sent home to get
well. No one thought that he would
bo left off the team when he was fit
to play, as he was regarded as one
Of the -mos tpromislng of the Colts'
■•w men. Umpire Harry Mace said
recently that Brown was the best bat
ter In the league. It will long be re
membered here how he rapped out a
slashing triple on "Iron Man" Joe Mi
Glnnity in the game here this spring.
It is to be hoped that Lawlor will
find a place for Brown, even If he
has to send Shaw back to left field,
where he played when Brown was
In the game. - This will solve the left
field problem and leave the team com
plete andi strong enough to climb the
ladder.
Manager Smith, of Lynchburg, evi
dently had a successful trip after leav
ing here for Philadelphia last Friday
night. He has signed up two new in
fielders, Fof f ins and Benton; the for
mer was In Wednesday’s game and the
latter has reported for duty.
While here Manager Smith stated
that he was In search of two outfleld
ara, but H may ha that ha su sot
able to get the men he wanted, and
for thla reaaon signed lnflelder*.
Wright, who played ahortstop for
Lynchburg in the last series here,
seemed to be a good fielder, but was
woefully weak with the stick. Cog
gins seems to be in the same class,
since he fielded well Wednesday, but
failed to get a hit.
Lynchburg has a good club, how
ever, and they have the well wishes
of every fan around the circuit. Man
ager Smith Is a clean player and gen
tlemanly In his tactics, and his team
are like him to a man. It Is hoped
that he will succeeded In getting his
crippled Shoemakers in shape at an
early day.
JACK JOHNSON IS
Black Fighter Says Any Place
Will l)o for Him, But Fears
Altitude.
JOHNSON TRAINING CAMP,
SEAL ROCK HOUSE, SAN FRAN
CISCO. CALI., June 16.—Jack John
son is not disheartened at the order
ot Governor Gilletl that the fight must
not be. The big smoke said to-day
he was ready to “pull up stakes and
move away" the minute he was told
exactly where the fight was to be
pulled off. T want to know quickly
though. ' he declared to-day, “because
if the fight is to be In Nevada or Utah
l want to get a* accustomed to the
higher altitude ns much as possible.
1 am afraid that this sudden change
wont be good for either Jeffries or
me, and If the fight is to be pulled off
on independence Ivav. wo both ought
to have Just as much time as we can
In the rarer sir. sc that our lungs and
hearts will be prepared for the
change. 1 am Just naturally sure
the fight is going to come off on July
4. but I don't see how we can hope
to hold It in 'Frisco, in view of Gover
nor Oilletts unexpected and unwar
ranted action .'*
Although Johnson Is not downcast,
the balance of his camp is as gloomy
as a country funeral. There is a
listlessncss manifested on every hand
and the trainers and handlers do not
enter into their work with any degree
of spirit. The unsettled condition Is
certainly dt Ing «<o good to Johnson,
w ho Is unable to-day to get the proper
amount of life itno his crew
The Johnson backers are jubilant
over the change In so far as it affects
the chances of the big black They
believe that it will be harder for a
man who has been out of the game as
long as Jeffries to get his heart in
shape lo stand the strain of a con
tinued tight The air of the higher
altitude makes the heart action much
faster and the lung power less and
John's adherents believe he will he
able to accustom hlmseif to the
change much sooner than the former
champion. As s result the Johnson
bai kerx detlare they Intend to double
their bets. If the battle Is changed to
Reno or Ely.

, oral bookmaking at race tracks. One
I bill makes It a misdemeanor, punlah
: able by imprisonment for a period

ing associations who caused signs to

that gambling was prohibited and
who employed officers to enforce the

carried on. The third bill makes the
anti-gambling section of the penal

JEFFRIES TRAINING CAMP.
RO WARDEN NAN, CAL., June 16 —
James J. Jeffries and his entire en
tourage of trainers, boxers and mas
seurs are to-day preparing to make a
quick trip to Nevada, or whether Pro
moters Richard and Gleason decide to
stage the big fight, In the event Gov.
Gillett’a mandate is obeyed.
Jeffries admits he is glum over the
order, but he expects to fight on July
1. and believes that if the battle is
moved away from San Francisco, it will
be held at Reno. N'ev., on account of
its accessibility to the former city, apd
because it affords better facilities than
Klj. which is also mentioned. It is un
derstood here that attorney general
Webb, who has been ordered by the
governor to interfere, is to-day devol
ving into the musty legal lore and will
render a learned decision Friday, out
lining which he believes to be the
legal status of the fighters. There
much hope among the Jeffries followers
here that Webb will rule that the In*
dependence Day battle is a boxing ex
hibition within the spirit of the law.
In this event it is believed the light
will go to Frisco. But if R'ckard de
cides to stage the fight in Nevada,
Jeffries will rush there.
"I intend to stick to Rickard through
thick and thin." said Jeffries this
morning I am ready and anxious to
fight right now. and I would not care
if the battle is puled off down there at
- the dam" Indicating the dam over the
- San Lorenzo river Just, back of tils
• cottage.
Will F.flht July 4.
f The camp is confident the fight will
> be held on July 4. no matter what
. place is decided upon. As ®ins is only
» eighteen full days away. Jeffries is
; very anxious to ascertain where he is
i expected to fight and to get acclimated
i as rapidly as possible. The altitude of
. tlie present training camp is only 200
. feet above ihe sea level, while Ely and
1 Reno are 3.000 feet. The change from
,■ the heavy air on the sea level to the
r rarlfied air of the mountain country
affects the heart greatly and Jeffries
I Is anxious to get as accustomed as
{ possitde to the new air conditions in
.(the event he is compelled to move to
i the higher altitude. It Is probable that
if Friday's decision of attorney general
Webb Is adverse for the Jeffries and
his camp will leave Rowardennan Frl
( day night for Nevada and training will
t be resumed in Reno Saturday.
