MOSES, Mgr. < ayud \ Norwich, Conn. oct104 Fighter Cailed.oa Knocked Out on > St. Paul, Minn., July 22.—James J. Jeffries and his sparring partner, Sam Berger, called on Governor Johnson today at the capitol. The big fighter told ‘the governor that he was ready at any time now to-defend his title as champion. “You -look fit to go right in now and kill almost anyhody, 1 should say,” remarked Governor Johnson, as he took in the square-built form of the_pugilist. ‘| take care of himself, all right” said Berger. “I should think I could,” the gov- f ernor rejoined, laughing. “I would be willing to put up $1,000,000 on the ta- || ble here and go into the next room i| with Mr. Jeftries, and let the one who comes out have the $1,000,00 Jeffries laughed. “You might ar- gue me out of it.” he said. ‘I'm not 80 sure about the other.” Jeffries said he felt fit for anything. “You are going to defend your title, then?” asked the governor's secretary. “Oh, yes” replied Jeffries. “I am going to fight ‘again. 1 was glad' to get out of the ring, and did not want to get back, but I am back now and will fight Johnson. One of the party suggested that the Jeffries-Johnson fight ought to come oft in Minneapolis. -Governor Johnson laughed and said: “No; I'll have to araw the line there. You can’t fight in Minnesota,” HILLS GROVE RACES. n Won Hotly Contested 2.14 Pace —Thrilling Finishes in 225 Trot. Vi Hills Grove, L. L, Juply 22.—The 2.14 pace furnished #i¢ most interesting -of the races today in the five days' har- ness meet. Danish Girl was the fa- vorite, but Logan, Jr, won the first heat, ‘while Hali Enstgn captured the second. The judges thought Packer was not driving Vasten hard emough and they gave him a wi g at the finish of the second heati Thereupon Vasten came in first at the third heat and took the mext two and the Tace. Every heat was hotly contested, however. Lop Medium was an easy winner in the 2.23 pace, although she came near getting the flag in the second heat. She broke badly on the back stretch in the second half-mile, and just got within the distance pole, finishing fifth. A field of ten horses came out at the call for the 2.25 trot, which resulted in a battle royal pbetween Kensen Rob- inson and Cresger. The latter came under the wire a_scant winner in the first heat, but Carpenter, up behind Rensen Robinson, succeeded in taking the next three heats and the race in hair-raising finishes. Minor Heir Beat Dan Patch. Grand Forks, N. D., Wednesday.— Before the largest crowd ever assem- bled in North Dakota, Minor Heir beat Dan Patch in a race-paced over ths half mile track of the North Dakota State Fair grounds. The course was heavy and a terrific wind was blow- ing. Both of the pacers were in good condition for so early in the season. New Ground Rule Issued by Pulliam. An official order defining the ground rules relating to overthrown bails was issued Wednesday by President Har- ry Pulliam of the National Baseball league, at Cincinnati, before starting for New York, President Pulliam has sent the order to all club presidents and managers giving notice of the change, which is the outgrowth of a protested game played between Brook- Iyn and Pittsburg. The new order says: “Owing to confusion that has resulted a sto applications of ground rules, the following instructions to umpires will be jn force on and after this date: “When a thrown ball goes into a stand for spectators, or _over or through any fence, or into the play- ers’ bench (whether the ball stays In or comes out), the runners shall be entitled to two bases. The umpire, in awarding these bases, is to be govern- “You look like a man who couldy \S fl'}‘l. 1 ‘,// s » ed by the position of the runner or runners when the throw is made. “With spectators on the fleld, if the umpire determine that runners shall be entitled to two bases on a ball thrown into the crowd, though the po- ion of such runners on the bases shall be reckoned from where they were at the time the ball was thrown/ This being a matter of judgment the umpire is the sole judge.” PLANNING FOR 1910 REGATTA. Yale and Harvard Crew Men Looking Ahead. As .an attermath to the Harvard- Yale boat races on the Thames comes the announcement that the 1910 re- gatta will probably be held on a date a week earlier than it was this year. The Christmas recess at Yale will be shortened from three weeks to two weeks next winter, and this will bring commencement a week ahead of the time that it has heretofore taken place The interval between the Yale com- mencement and the date set for tne race is too long, Yale men claim, and by changing the races to an. earlier date next year this extended interval will be done away with. Yale men would like to have the regatta moved to the date corresponding to the Satur- day. before this year’s races, but thic is not altogether satisfactory to Har- vard, as Saturddy, it is claimed, is an unsuitable day, since, if the races had to be postponed, Mgnday is the first available day. 1if this date proves, however, otherwise satisfactory it is possible’ that June 25 will be decided upon for the 1910 struggle. Harvard men are so well pleased with the showing made by their crews this year at New London that it is thought that they are not likely to raise any serious objections should Saturday be chosenas the day for the race. Harvard’s victory over Yale has made one fact apparent at Yale, and that is the urgent need of better rowing quarters at New Haven for Eli oars- men. Yale's present quarters, the Eli rowing experts assert, is by far too in- adequate, and besides that the unat- tractiveness of the limited facilities has a tendency to make it a difficult tesk to get sufficient candidates from which to select a 'varsity eight. That was proved this year by the number of candidates who “tried for places in the shell. Coach Kennedy had only 26 men from which to pick a crew. A step toward the procuring of a new boathause has already been taken. President Hadley has announced that $70,000 had been subscribed: but from $40,000 to $50,000 more is wanted. The site for the new quarters was pur- chased some time ago, at the time when the question first arose as to purchasing of a new boathouse. Poor rowing equipment was also another one of Yale's reasons for the sustaining of so_decisive a defeat. Even though the Crimson sent the Blue down to defeat i of the races, the Elis do not lay the majority of the blame at Coach Kennedy's door. Re- ports from Yale quarters state that the New Havenites are satisfied with his work, and put the blame for their de- feat on lack of rowing necessities rather than the coach’s work. Harvard has already made the Eli menturn their thoughts to nex: year's regatta. As the matter stands now, Crimson oarsmen are inclined to be- lieve they will be successful again in 1910, as Yale will be considerably crip- pled. Yale's outlook is anything but satisfactory at present. Captain Howe, Glenny and Rice will not be in college next year, and the Blues lost one of their strongest men when Baker drop- ped out of college this year. Baker has another term at college, but his mar- riage will force him to give up his col- lege course. The only 'varsity eight men who will be left will be Stroke ‘Wallis, Van Blarcom, Hyde and Cap- tain Wodell. The freshman crew tne Blues sent to New London this year was the poorest one ever sent. When college opens next fall Coach Kennedy will begin the season by or- ganizing class crews, so as to attract more men to*spwing. This plan, he FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. PRICES TURNED DOWNWARDS. Raily Late in Day. New ork, July 22.—The principal in- fluence in the stock market today was the growing feeling that speculative hopes of an increase in the dividend on United “States Steel on next Tuesday are destined to disappointment. That such an expectation has been held and that buying of the stock has been based on it is evident. Believers in the stock maintain, however, that the, earnings for the past quarter to be Shown by next Tuesday’s report and the excel. lent prospects for future business will safeguard the market value of the stock. Reports ‘continue to be re- ceived of the expansion of the steel in- dustry. The pressure to sell United States Steel was an influential factor in turning prices downwards today. The market had another rally late in the day, with remewed covering of shorts. - Union Pacific showed some strength and was helped by news of the improvement in E. H. Harriman's health. The beginning of operations in‘the Hudson river-tunnels was cited as reason for strength in stocks which have similar projects looking to New York terminal improvements in_view. A higher price for copper helped that group of industrials. Aside from _the threat of property damage by the Tex- as storm, the promise of relief for cot- ton from the drought was favorable to values. The shifting of current of prices' through the day was significant of the conflict of influences at work. The fall in the New York exchange at Chicago to a discount today indi. cates a subsidence in the flow of cur- rency from the interior, which relieved the drain of gold outgo last fveek.

The Motor Yacht Club of Great Brit- ain Will Not 8end Vessels for the Cup. There will not be an international motor boat race this year for the Brit- ish international cup, now held by the Motor oBat club of America, and last season_successfully defended by the Dixie IL against the Duke of West- minster's Wolseley-Siddely and Lord Howard de alden’s Daimler IL, the challenging vessels of the Motor Yacht club of Great Britain. The Motor Boat cluff of America re- ceived ‘a challenge from the Motor Yacht club for the trophy last winter, the conditions under the deed of gift requiring that all challenges shall be received on or before February 1 in any year, and that entries for the race may be made up to July 1 in any year. The Motor Boat club of America pa- tiently awaited the receipt of further details from the challenging club, and many motor yachtsmen of America predicted that the trophy this season was likely to be regained by the Brit- ish_club, owing to-the disastrous re- sults_attending the American boats, the Dixie I and the Standard, in the races at Monte Carlo last April, where they performed poorly in com- pany with_the Duke of Westminster's Wolseléy-Siddeley 1L, since named the Ursula. Nothing was heard from the Motor Yacht club of Great Britain for such a length of time that an unofficial ef- fort was made by the American club to ascertain the reason. This in time restited in the information that it was_not likely the challenging club would send boats to America this sea- son to race for the trophy. Since then this has been officially confirmed and the race is off until next season, or whenever the cup is chal- lenged for. The trophy is open for competition by hoats of all countries, and three vessels are allowed each country that may be represented in a race. BIG®ATHLETIC EVENT PLANNED. — ) London Syndicate Proposes Stadium Programme of Varied Characte A despatch from London gives par- ticulars of a great athletic project which 1t is proposed to carry out in the Stadium, near London, which was the scene of the Olympic games a year ago. An international sydicate with Al Levering, welli known on' two_con- tinents as a manager of big athletic and sporting enterprises, at is back, has offered Imre _Kiralfy $50,000 as rental of the Stadium for one week during the latter part of August or September. The programnie is already practical- ly arranged and many of the men named therein have agreed to take part. Two of the events contemplate a return engagement between Frank Gotch and George Hackenschmidt, and a 20-round fight between Jack John- son and Stanley Ketchel. On the run- ning. track there-will be a revival' of the old-time six days go as you please contest, with over 50 starters, and, as the Stadium track is the longest over which such a race has ever tien held, it is hoped that a mew record for dis tance will be established. Each afternoon of' the week will*be given over to. sprints, and on the last day there will be a Marathon race, the whole of which will be run in the full view of the spectators. There will be ten-entries. for the Marathon, and the winner will receive $10,000. The des- patch states that Hayes, Dorando, St. Yyes, -Longbont, Svanberg, Maloney, and Cibot have agreed to run In the Marathon: Donau -a Surprise at Yonkers, Empiré City, N.

It is probable that not more than forty-five teams representing . the states. territories and the regular serv- ice will be on hand to compete at Camp Perry this year. This will be a decrease of five from the number last year. A number of states which do not have ranges or which have ranges -which need improvement, have reached the conclusion that for the current year they can do more with their money by improviug their ranges than by sending a team to Camp Per- ry. In many instances they are hard at work preparing for next year's con- test. Of the $2,000,000 appropriated by congress for the mational guard, $500,00 is set aside for rifle practice. This sum is apportioned among the states and can be utilized for the pur- chase and-equipment of ranges. In a few years it is hoped that each state will have - at - least one first class range. 4 clud today-{ eral Motors 's Three Bagger the eFature.

PROFITS OF THE AUTOMOBILE MAKERS But Prices are Bound to Drop in the New Few Yoars. “There is no business in the world quite so profitable a% the manufacture of automobiles” says the Motor World. “Detroit has had abundant evidence of that within the past 48 hours. The Cadillac Motor Car com- pany has just sold out to the Gen- company for $4.500,000, That Is ostensilly a profit-of abouf 200 per cent on the presept capitaliza- tion. As a matter of fact it iy vastly more on the cntire investmont. Past dividends, huge ones, are not figured in that. Tt enabled the eleven stock- holders to clear from $1,000,000 to §10,~ 000,000, apiece in proportion. to their holdings. That /s bounding toward affluence, surely. “Detroit has had other conclusive evidence within the past six months of the astounding profits in automo- Lile making. The E.-M.-F. company has made a profit of about $1,400,000 on a $200,000 investment. The Ford company has-been paying tremendous dividends for a vear. The Olds Motor and Buick Motor_companies sold out to the Gemeral Motors company at vast pecuniary adyantage to their stockholders. Nobofly but the smal. group of stockholders knows the fabu- lous profits of the Packard Motor com- pany. Its present capitalization of $3,050,000 and its present plant, one of the largest manufacturing plants in the world, were built upon stock dividends, clear profits, and the end is_not vet. What is the meaning of all ‘this stupendous profits that is being gar- nered from the making of motor cars? Detroit alone is putting 35,000-or 40,000 automobiles upon the market every year. A dozen other” cities, scores of bther firms, are quite as productive. Yet nearly every firm complains,_that it is behind. its orders. Agents are praying for more cars. The explana- tion is the ancient and obvious one— the demand is greater than the sup- . The novelty is still novel. There is but one logical, natural inevitable course. The surply will continue to grow. More capital will be rushed into the business. Many more firms will be organized and in- corporated for the manufacture of automobiles. The tremendous profits will attract fdle capital. Competition will develop. Thus far it has been practically nil. The supply will srad- ually approach and then equal the de- mand. Then prices will drop. They are bound to drop. “We saw the same economic phen- omenon in the bicycle business. The Columbia wheel was the standard in 1896. It sold for $135 retail. Colonel Pébe, president of the manufacturing firm, was put upon the witness stand in some litigation and testified that it cost somathing less than $20 to make a Columbia high-class wheel Beyond a question, these profits are approximated in the automobile busl- ness. Competition alone can. reduce prices to the normal and profity to the equitable. 3 “The price of automobiles within two years may be cut in two. The man whose income is $2,500 may then afford to own a car.” BASEBALL BRIEFS. New Haven has released Pitcher Sweeney and First Baseman Cox.
