WHAT THEY
ARE DOING
Fitzsimmons Wants to Meet
Monroe Before Jeffries
Dixon is Rising Rapidly--McCoy
in Training'.
It Is likely that Jack Munroe may be
seen in. another contest before he has
it out -with Jim Jeffries next May "un
less the champion objects. There is
talk of having Munroe, meet Bob Fitz
simnions at Philadelphia in n sis-round
bout souVo time next month. The large
crowd, which 'attended-the encounter
between Munroe aud Tom Sharkey a
week ago has convinced the promoters
of that scrap that battles between big
men, if conducted properly, will draw,
and the same foiks are trying to bring
Lanky Bob- and the miner together.
Munroe and Sharkey drew over $9,XJO.
Fltz knows this to be so, and when the
proposition was made to him yesterday
to fight Munroe at Philadelphia,". be
said: "If the club will post $10,UOO or
guarantee that amount X will meet
Munroe. It's a cinch 'that if Sharkey
and Munroe played to a $9,000 house
we ought to have at least from $12,000
to $15,000. I am in fairly good shape
now, ,witb the exception of my feet,
which are still sore. But I am taking
line care of myself and expect to be in
real condition by the early , part of
April. If Munroe wants to meet nie
then, and tho dub puts up the money,
aud Jeffries does not make a kick. I
iwlirtake Munroe on." Bob also add
ed that he would not mind taking a.
try at Harry Placke, the Holland hea
vyweight, who recently arrived in this
country well recommended to tackle
Jim Jeffries. Fltzs thinks that In jus
tice to the sports Placke should engage
in a bout to show what he can do be
fore going against Jeffries. The Cor
uishman added that he would not mind
trying the foreigner out, provided the
clubs would make it worth while. The
sports hall a match, between Munroe
and ) Fitzsimmons as just the proper
thing. They contend that if. Munroe
can stand Fitz off for six rounds he
will make good bin right to fight Jef
fries for the ' championship, Such n
fight, many believe, would create a lot
of interest and boost the sport all over

DIXON THE CHAMPION.
1 While the other English pugilists are
doing. considerable challenging George
Dixou continues to.- mare and fulfill
engagements in the ring. The clever
negro lsi busy and never lets the op
lKrtunlty of arranging a match es
cape him. Dixon's latest match re
sulted in a draw, although in the opin
iou of many sports he was entitled to
1 he . verdict. The other , night, at the
Wonderland, Ixhidon, Dixon met Johu
ny Summers of Canning Town. in' a six
round bout, -.'he "go" .went the limit
and , was interesting. The opening
round was lively, Dixou doing the bulk
of the work. In the next two rounds
Summers deemed to have the better of
the struggle at long range, but Dixon
hammered his rival on the body with
such' effect that at the end of the fifth
Summers was well winded. The last
round was even. When the result was
announced Dixon's ndnilrers raised ' a
howl, but the referee's verdict stood.
Dixon has been' negotiating for a
match with Ben Jordan, but the
chances of the two meeting does not
look ;bright. Jordan -wants to fight
Dixon at a certain club, which te
negro does not care to do., He. is satis
fied -to have the mill take plnce before
the club giving the best purse. Dixon
and Jordan met several years ago and
the Englishman won t-e fight in twen-tv-flve
rounds on points. The London
Sporting Xife of February 22 prints
the following about Dixon's plans and
matches: 4In answer to the challenge

DID JIMMY
DO THINGS.
Report that Manager Cana
van did not Want toStay
in New Haven New YorK
American Term.,
There is something1 remarkably pe
culiar about tho attempt of Manager
James Canaran jto remove the New.
Haven team and franchise- from New,
Haven to Worcester. The Democrat
writer went on a still hunt Saturday
and unearthed a few things that do
not speak well for the one time pop
ular manager, Jimmy Canavan. In
the first 'place it was Intimated that
Canavan was to come to Waterbury
kind .look over the field here. Such
a thing as that never took place. ' if
Canavan did' come here, he 'came
when the city was in slumber and not
even a policeman got a ' glimpse of
him. None of Jus friends in this
city met him, nor did he approach
those who would bo 4n a position to
know ; whether baseball t coiId bo
Played here this t season or not. lUght
hr it might ., as wU be , stated that
Waterbury at the time when Canavan
ni'ado his trip to' Woi-cester was
awaiting his visit to this city. He
Would have been shown , over vtbe
field and he would have been con
vinced, if he oared to be, that Water
bury was in a position to get grounds,
and good grounds at 'that.' Whether
those same conditions exist now , can
not be stated with any degree of cer
tainty. The people who were eager
to get baseball " here ; were willing ' to
spend money to make new grounds
and get a chamionshlp team. After
receiving the cold shoulder from Can
avan, who ; was backed up by : the
league,' those people do not feel like
goings dowxi on their knees and beg
ging the league to let Waterbury in.
The (league should remember ' one
thing, tliough; befoi-o the season is
over the managers wlU.be very, very
sorry that Waterbury was not picked!
as a, representative. , t
' "Another thing In connection with
New Haven andl her (franchise would
be worth ; telling. The , Democrat
writer in hls search through the base
ball archive of the Elm City heard
a report which was not verified, but
it does look as if ? there was some
truth in it This report was to the
effect that Hugh Duffy, the former
manager of the Milwaukee team, was
a half owner of. the New Haven fran
chise. I'i It you, will remember, all or
about all of the players who left, New
Haven for . bigger company, wont 5 to
Milwaukee. t That was a significant
fact taken 'hi connection with the re
port about Duffy. Now. it Is said
that Duffy wants, to. see the franchise
go to Worcester "so that ' hlsi friend
Kitrredge can get a bit of money out
of tho game. Canavan ; was either
willing or else Duffy bad the bigger
say. r .-'-.. .,.v --, v.v', -
In this connection it might be said
that Oanava n claimed to have made
$3,500 last season and $4,000 the sea
son before. Even with thl split In
two and Duffy getting half, rCanavan
made a nice little sum, more. than he
will ever make iln Worcester. To sum
the whole tiling, up, it looks 'as though
Jimmy Canavan- wanted to get that
franchlso in Worcester for ' some
stiwig reason or else he was making
a bluff, thiinking some ierson or per
sona would pay him a big sum foi
the franchise and1 keep It Jn i.jw Ha
ven He overlooked Waterbury, evi
dently tor the same reason, although
he or " someone else reported In the1
Masachusettg papers i that " Waterbury
was not prepared for baseball this
year. Waterbury . could have been
prepared and Waterbury is worth
two Worcesters. Watei'buiy is" not
so good as New Haven, but if New
Haven cannot get grounds Waterbury
ds the best cholce , for the league to
make. The' Democrat Is not in a po
sition to. state whether the gentlemen
who wanted" to start the team ar6
willing to do so now, but they might
be if there are no strings on tiie land
ing of the franchise &nd ,Jf given the
word at once. :
(
New lork, March 7. The deal by
which the New York American
league Club has secured Pitcher Jack
Powell from ' t Louis in exchange for
Pitcher Harry Howell and $8,0UO cash
will further convince baseball enthusi
asts that President Gordon and
Treasurer Farrell are making heroic
efforts to place a team in the field this
year that will give the Boston
world's champions , a desperate fight
for the American league pennant.
Powell Is one of the greatest pitchers
In the country, in 1001 he pitched
Christy Matthewsou to a standstill in
several games at the Polo grounds.
Ho is a strapping big fellow, with tre.
mendous speed, a . magnificent slow
ball and knows the value of control.
Ills engagement here means that the
New York Americans have the best
pitching corps in the two big leagues,
bar none, and that Griffith's team,
with Towell, McGuire, Hughes- and
Anderson in line, is DO per cent
stronger than last year. Treasurer
Farrell said yesterday in regard to the
big deal:
"President Hughes of the St Louis
Americans at first wanted Pitcher
Toni Hughes, recently secured from
Boston, in exchange for Powell, but I
told him that we needed Hughes right
here. Powell did not wtuit to stay in
St Louis and Hedges knew it, so wnen
Griffith . wired on Saturday morn
ing that he could get Powell for How
ell and $8,000, I immediately wired
him to close tho deal and lost no time
in forwarding a check for the amount
named. I want to have a champion
ball team and I think that my plans
will, be successful. Griffith has had
full v power to secure anybody he
wanted, and when the deal for Pitch
er Mullen of Detroit fell through he
went after Powell. With McGuire,
Beville and Kiel now' behind the bat,
and Chesebro, Hughes, Powell, Grif

woud consent to play us three games
here before the opening of , the cham-'

such a series, but simply to show to
thousands who have not yet realized
the strength of the American league
that we are able to put it all over the
so-called Glants,' any time and any

not afraid of being shown up, they
would play us in a minute, but they
Lknow that whjle they have only a fair
ball team they are going to tackle the
other National 1 league clubs, which,
barring Pittsburg, . would not stand ri

"I want to ealj the attention of, tho
New York public to just one 'thing of
Interest. McGraw's men open the
season with nineteen straight games
against the Boston, Philadelphia and
Brooklyn teams, which are all weak
and unable to put up a lig'ht. This
will enable McGraw's men to take a
big lead at' the outset of the season
with the idea of creating a furore in
this city. But things would be decid
edly different if McGraw's men were
in tho American - league, where they
would find real ball teams and no
quitters. There is a big fight on in
this city and the time-has conic for
tho New York American league club
to assume ".the offensive. If Brush
and McGraw have such a Wonderful
ball team why dont they play us a
series to settle the question of 5 su
premacy and let local charities have
the benefit of the money taken at the
gate? We are ready at any - time to
do business and we can make good;

Tobogganing is one of the most pop
ular sports of Switzerland.' In this
little republic long
runs are built in
the winter when
the hills are cov
ered with snow,
and exciting races
are held. , The.
Cresta run at St.
Moritr is one of
the most popular
and difficult; the

that it is a crooked

ners. To turn sharp corners while
sliding at headlong speed can
be seen by any amateur to be diffi
cult. ; The danger 4s of being shot right
out of the course : and this danger, is
.obviated by banking up the snow at
the side of the course where the cor
ners occur. ' The banks are not so
steep but that the tobpgganer who
races at them recklessly may race right
over them and find himself expelled,
toboggan and all, into the deep soft
snow beyond their confines. His prob
lem is to steer round these corners,
and C negotiate these difflcultlesthe
difficulties, for instance, of Churchleap
and Shuttlecock and Battledore as
fast as he possibly can without being
so expelled; and hV has also tomaster
the art of falling without hurting him
self, in case he is expelled. He lies fiat
on the toboggan, careering' down the
hill, head foremost, after a flying start,
and he steers as best he can. Of old,,
tobogganers used to steer by means of
sticks. At the present tme the steer
ing is done by means of a steel toe-cap
fastened to the boot, and serving alike
as a rudder and as a brake. In spite
of . the necessity ; of using the brake
pretty freely , at the corners, the best
men attain a most prodigious Bpeed. The
early winners traveled at the rate of
about 30 miles an hour, but (the later
winners have averaged more than 40.
Each' competitor has J to : take, three
runs ; his times are added together, and
the prize goes to the man who makes
the beat total on the three heats. The
highest speed is, naturally, attained on
the straight at the en3 ' of the run.
Speeds verging on 80 miles an 'hour
have been recorded on this portion of
the . course;? the record for the whole
course being about 66 . seconds, t The
course , ends . with a, leap", tpbogganist

EMANCIPATION BEING CARRIED
OUT IN GERMAN EAST AFRICA.
Portion of the Bark Continent Over
Which. Emperor William Holds
Sway Being; Gradually ,
Rid of Slavery.
Livingstone once said that only the
railroad could deal the death blow to
slavery,, and this is in a large measure
true. Where the railroad has poked Its
iron nose' through the jungles of what
Stanley has called "Darkest" Africa,"
there has Britain been able to deal most
successfully with the slave raiders and
put down the awful traffic. In 1901 the
British government secured 25 coayic
tlpns of persons engaged in buying and
selling slaves in the Soudan. But not
withstanding the effort to Suppress the
traffic, there are said to be 12 well-to-do
slave merchants at Jedda, and the
prices of slaVes there ranges from ?80
for male or female 14 years old to $150
for those from 20 to 30 years old. In
Medina and Mecca, within the Turkish
domain,' the prices of both sexes rise 50
per cent.' and upward. ':
But in the portions of Africa over
which Britain and Germany and other
European powers hold. -, suzerainty,
there Is not only persistent ai d de
termined effort to stop slave raiding,
but to eradicate the present slave hold
ings. In her western possessions, Ger
many has declared a gradual, abolition
of slavery, as in German East Africa,
which has met with universal approval.
Germany's aim is not only to exterminate
slave raiding, but to put down domestic
slavery itself. A, beginning has been
made by requiring masters to give all
bondmen one-third of their time , in
which to work for themselves. Masters
must also care for slaves in illness and
old age.';' -
In German East Africa, which lies to
the south of British East Af rica, between
the equator and the tenth degree of,
south latitude, the imperial chancellor
some time ago approved an ordinance
looking to the gradual emancipation of
house servants. 'The ordinance provides
that In the future ' no person shall be
come enslaved either , through volun
tary sale of their persons, by Authority
of their parents, through debt, or as a

punishment; ; all of these '- forms of
slavery having 1 existed up to the pres
ent tim. 1 ,
s Persons . now in condition of slavery
are allowed to buy. their freedom on pay
ment of a sum to be fixed by the admin
dstrative .authority of the district in
which they live. ' Upon payment of this
sum a "Frelbrlef," or certificate bf manu
mission is to be given them. Slayes are
allowed two days each week to work for
themselves. Masters are compelled to
support slaves In sickness, as in Ger
man West Africa, and in old age. Slaves
may be transferred from one master, to
another only-. with' the consent of the
slaves themselves, which must be'given.
before an administrative authority. At
each transfer such authority is required
to examine carefully the legal character
of the transaction and to ascertain If a
legal relation of slavery actually exists.
Members of the same family may not be
separated - from each .' other ; by such
transfer without their consent. Any
serious neglect or, injury on part of a
master, results in the freedom of the
slave. Upon hearing of any such in
jury or neglect the competent author
ity is required to Investigate, even in
case no complaint is made by either
party, and should It be ascertained that
the slave, by reason of the owner's fail
ure to comply with the laws has a legal
claim upon manumission, the public of
ficial Is required to grant such manumis
Blon without any payment of damages
to the owner. . - . . -
During the fiscal year 1902-03 a total
pf 2,420 letters of freedom were issued,
against 2,037 the previous year. Of these
732 were on account of purchase of free
dom, 675 for "voluntary relinquishment
of ownership, and 965 on account of offi
cial declaration of freedom through
death of the master, and for other
causes 57 slaves received their freedom.
From these figures it may be seen that
the reform is bearing Its fruit. It Is
hoped that in the near future It will be
possible to declare the freedom of all
those born after a certain date, as soon
as prospects for the protectorate to ob
tain a modern economic basis through
an improvement of its commercial con
ditions as a substitute for the present
one, based upon slave labor, are appar

the Antipodes. ; The affair .was a 100
yard invitation ' race, in addition to a
pwgrain. whicli included the 500 yards
Australian championship at Farmers
Dojuain Baths", near Sydney, the last
week In January. This bath is forty
II v yards long, so that two turns wero
necessary in .swimming -the hundred
CaviH was opposed by Aleck . WickChami
a colored native' of the ' South -Sea
Island, and he gave the Australian the
race of his life. - ,
Both, left their marks at the crack
of the gun and struck the y Water to
gether, but Cavlira plunge' was longer,
and when he came to the surface his
head showed In the lead. - But the
South Sea Islander (spurted, drew level
with, his opponent, passed him and was
leading by two yards at the first turn..
The time for forty-five yards was 23
seconds, which completely eclipses all
former records, and especially the long
standing one by Bishop. , 1 , r
Oavill never lost ; his form and
ploughed along and after passing sixty
yards began slowly to creep up on tho
darky. Twenty yards from the finish
"Wickham led Cavill by a head and
shoulders, yet five yards further on Ca
vill was level, and then ensued one of
the grandest struggles ever seen in a
swimming race. At the second turn,
which was ninety yards, both touched
together and the time was 51 3-5 sec
onds, a new world's record. , . However,
Cavill made a better turn and had a
slight advantage when they straight
ened out. for the finish a few yards
away. Amidst the greatest excitement
Cavill won by a yard In 58 seconds.
W'ickhani's time was 59 seconds.
1 Oavlll's time supplants the former
world's record of 58 3-5 seconds, made
in the summer of 1902 at tne Hornsey
Baths, England. The American tank
record for the 100 is 1 minute 1 2-5
(seconds, by Harry Ie Moyne at the
New York A. O. about a year ago. A
short time after beating Wickham,
Oavill turned out for the" 500 yards
championship, and, swimming away
from his opponents, won by forty yards
in G minutes 31 seconds,, establishing
a new Australian record. The old
record was 0 minutes 39 4-5 seconds,
by Cavill himself, at Hellings Baths,
Woolloomooloo Bay, April 12, 11)02.
The American record is G minutes 51
3-5 seconds, by K. Carroll Schaeffer, at

If I have money in the bank, there will
be no strike benefit for me when I'm!
ordered to quit work. 'You don't need!
it,' they'll Bay, 'for you've got money.
We can only afford1 to make payments
to those who haven't any. You see
there's a penalty to put thrift and a
premium on shiftlessoeas. The maw
who saves has to pay himself for tlma
lost at the order of the union, and the
man who doesn't save gets the help.
In a year from now our money will ba
gone, anyhow, so we might as weH spend!
it while we can get some personal ad
vantage out of It, and then come in
even terms with the others for the strike
benefits. It's the fellow who hasn't any
thing, and never expects to have any
thing' who gets the advantage. Take the
money, Maggie, before It gets beyondl
reach You helped to save it, and the
union will only help us spend IVif yoM
don't do it first."
