“FICAT WAS END OF EPOCH g | {Bie Contest Wrote Finis to Sporting Lives of Many. ((HEABLY ALL CONCERNED QUIT Rickard, Gleason, Jeffries, Corbett and Merger Swear They Are Through with Game—Jeff to Hunt tn Africn. { e Jettries-Tobuson tight marked the /und of many ioteresting ring careers. The [ great vattle in Novada wrote finis upon Tex Rickard trug- Y#ome very mteresting epochs. jand Jadk Gleason, who promoted the e, have - both . declared that they ~will Miever again have anything to do with Alghting. ~1%me 1s some lobs in Rickard's yase, for he is looked upon as the ablest bandler of big fights in the United States. James J. Jeffries Wil never fight again, Duits 10 the contrary notwithstanding. {Billy Delaney, the groatest ring general in the history of the game, retires to his Cal- Jtornia ranch vowing that he is through Mith pugllism for guod and all. Nover again for me,” said James J. Cor- {bett, the world's champlon self-advertiser. 1f fighting is killed in Nevada it is likeiy that others who played direct and indirect in the contest are through with the me. Bob Armstrong and Farmer Burns, ho helped train Jeftries, have retired to vate life, a8 it were. John L. Suliivan, ho went west to the scene of the strife o got & little advertising to help bim in ame, is also among those ‘Never again.” , Jeffries’ manager, says he ver wants to hear of a prize fight again. ‘L am golng back to my stors in Cali- Jgornia and will never again have anything 1o do with pugilism,” sald Bam. However, urcuel will have his bands rull for some {time to come before settling down, in | ¥ risco. Rickard says he is going to continue in ‘the mining industry. Do not mistake me. Mickard does 1ot mine with a plok and {shovel. He promotes gold and silver mines {“and sells stock. Me is one of the greatest Promoters of the age. Jdohnson to Sell Autos. Beveral weeks before the blg fight John- s0n sadd that he was going to do a lot of erulsing around the country In his auto- mobjle, win or lose. He s still of that opinfon. Johnson lald his plans for the future just as carefully as he trained for the-fight They consisted of a trip east after the struggle, & long automobile tour, whigh will, of course, be enlivened with froquent arrests, and finally settling down in Chicago. The Galveston negro says that he fs ultimately going in busingss in Chi- ©ago “selling automoblles, Johrkon likes New York for a little high life at'Baron Wilking' cafe, but he 'ls bugs on Chicago a8 a place 1o live in. {mes The fight between Tomniy JBurns and Sam Langtérd on Labor day wilk.be held in Reno in the same stadium that Housed the Jéffries-Johnson go. Burns had a Idt Of Lud luck in Australia. He contracted plomaine polson from euting canned fruit @nd on top of this his racing stable struck & losing streak. However, he thinks he Wil be In trim to trim Samuel. A pecullar: thing about the Jeffries-John- son fight was that there were more women. Present than at any other prize fight, pos- wibly, ever held in the United States. The women usually occupled the $60 seats ana smany of them were’ unaccompanied. Reno 18 alway full of eastern women who go there for divortes. Practically the. entire divorce colony turned out for the battl As the troible grew hotter and. the excite- went fniore intense the divorcees and Wouild:zbe’ divorcees became more and mofe Anterested. One would soarcely think that ‘women could be interested in a scene that many describe as degrading and brutal; where. the blood spatters from the red- Aened faces men and the shouts of excited spectators Amjugics with the oaths screamed by those who have bet and fear losses; where a Alick cloud of rabk tobacco smoke hangs How over the assembly and drinking seems the common - pastime. - Nevertheiess the Bivorcees were mightily Interested. Jeffries says that he intends to do some hunting in Afriea. The big chap is a keen hunter and nothing pleases him better than Ao shoulder & rifle and scour the western ‘mountaing for deer and bear: His ambj- tlon now fs-to hunt the bongo, and .the dig-dig and other animals of Africa made {tamous by Colonel.Theodors Roosevelt. Big Arena to btuy, The big arena which was bullt in Reno will be retained for future use. The Washoe county grund’Jury supervised the work of Contractor MeLaughlin in order to insure & safe structure. The original plans called for an arena with a seating capacity for 7,000. Later he declded to make it big ough to hold 26,00 and perhaps more by wding. However, it was realized that e Jeffries-Joknson fight will probadly be e last that will draw over a 5,000 or 10,- crowd at ihe arena. The blg structure is about a quarter of mile from the depot, which is the centryl int In Reno. It used up 400,000 feet of mber and five tons of nails. 3t Is estimated that more than $1,000,000 bets changed hands on the outcome of Jetfries-Johnson scrap. Of course much betting was carried on throughout the )eountry which was not known of at Reno. Eoth fighters bet heavily on their own Chances. Frank Sutton, betting commls- sioner of the Johnson crowd, and Tom Cor- Dett, who acted in a similar capacity for Ahe Jeffries outfit, say that they handled about ¥750,000. The future of boxing in the United States very much in doubt. As I have sald elsewhere Nevada is the only state where prize fighting is allowed now subject to mso. When the next legislature con- Yenes some of the ministers are going to Make & request that the law legalizing Prize fights be repealed. Govérnor Dickerson of Nevada is a good sport. He did not see the fight, but he visited both training camps and saw the m spar, In speaking of the outlook for ing In his state, he said: “It all rests with the leglslature as to Khether bOXINg contests for prizes and purses shall be allowed in thig 0. Doubtless many persons are in favor of a gontinuation of the present conditions. On o other hand there are some who do not Delleve In contests of this sort. 1 saw Jphnson spar and saw bim draw blood upon Nis three trainers, but there was nothing #0 very brutal in the work. One newspaper man from New York asked me If I had @ver seen a fight. As I had seen many Where men siiot each othier to pleces I told Bilm so. He seemed both shocked and sur- “ prised at this intziligence. The Nevada people will get vhat they want from ti whom they elect to the legislatur e, such contests bring many of out-of- the-s people into Neyada and conse- quently much money is circulated that Would not be circulated otherwise, but if the people don't want this the legislature Will repeal the law."

NEW YORK, July 9.Is it a Jonah to be one of the shining stars of the world's serles? The hoodoo that seems to pursue the men who shir » in the big show lead one to be- lieve so. Bill Dineen, who practically pitched Bos- | ton to & victory over Pitisburg, is now an umplre on the American league staff. Most people are willing to take an oath that no greater calamity can befall a man, Billy Gilbert, whose batting playe: as prominent a part as Mathewson's pitching in the Giants' victory over Philadelphia in 1906, 1s no longer & big leaguer. He played his last engagement with St. Louls and is now having his troubles holding up his end i the minors. George Rohe, whose work at third base, and particularly at the bat, made the White Box's victory over the Cubs possible In 1906, has been out of the big league for several y He has since shifted his at- feotions to first bake and is playing that position for the New Orleans team of the Southern league. No two Detroit players played better ball in the series of 197-than Charley O'Leary and Claud Rossman. O'Leary Is now piay- ing utility roles for the Tigers, while Ross- man has dropped out of the majors. Johnny Kiing was the big show in 1906, and last year Kling did not play ball. Be- lieving. his work during the season and in the series had a great deal to do with the Cubs’ success, Kling held out for a fancy increase in salary. He didn't get in and re- fused to play, thereby losing his big sal- ary. Coming down to the series of last year, take the two idols of the Pittsburg team— “BAbe" Adams dnd Hans Wigpet, Wae- ner, by his great work in all departments of the game, kspt the Pirates in the run- ning in every game, while Adams, by thrico defoating Detroit, mnde it possible for the Pirates to be labeled the world's champlons. Adams. has been getting his bumps regularly this year, while Wagner 18 hitting like the immortal Casey. [PITCHERS CHANGED - OFTEN Over Half Big Games Played Saw Removal of Slebmen. SHOWS A TEAM'S WEAKNESS is Cardl rs In Games League Figures Show St. L Browns Change PI Oftenent of A Teams. Ever stop to consider the number of gamos in which one or both teams changes pitohers? Doesn't look as though there was any appalling amount of pitchers' domination In view of the big proportion of contests In which pitchers are changed They are removed for cause pretty often, and the cause usually is ineffectiveness on that particular occasion, Sometimes a pltcher s taken out to save him for a later occasion, this when his team has a safe lead, sometimes He goes out merely to make way for a pinch hitter, but generally- he &0es because he is belng batted too freely. Qut of the first 214 games In the Na- tional league this season much more than half, 18 to be exact, found a change in pitchers by one side or the other, and offen both. In the American league tnere have been 130 such games out of 215. There have been & good proportion of games In which & team used three, four and sometimes five pitchers to & game. 1f the number of these changes per team ls an indication of pliching weakness then the St. Loufs Cardi- nals have the weakest staff in the National league and the St. Louls Browns in the American. Tt will be noticed that in the National league the club with the supposedly strong- est pitching staff, the Cubs, has changed pitchers the least. In the American league the team with the supposedly best crop of boxmen, the Athletics, has changed twirlers next to the least. The number of times changes in pitchers have been made is an indication to a certain extent of pitching strength and weakness, though not wholly #0. The following records show in. how many games each ciub has used two, three, four or five pitcher: NATIONAL LEAGUE.

ANNAPOLIS TO GET STADIUM Board of Visitors Recommends Erec- tion of Structure. ANNAPOLIS, Md., July 9.—The board of visitors to the naval academy has recom- mended the erection of a concrete stadium for_the accommodation of the crowds that visit Anrapolis for athletic contests. This will be a great improvement in conditions and a thing that the navy folks themselves could not well undertake because of the expense under which normally they are for athletics. The money needed for sports is contributed and there are no opportunities for raising funds by charging admission to the grounds. This is not permitted.
