Jeffries Comments Upon the Cal-
. iber of Munroe.
Champion James J. Jeffries announces
In a formal statement that he standi
ready to meet any fighter In the world
j birring only negroes or a man of tbl
cslloer of Jack Munroe. " He siys the
taster they come and the bigger and
heavier they are the better It wnl please
mm and he Undertakes to dispose ot
the fellowe-whe are now challenging him
right .md left dosens of them without
.the slightest hope or intention of getting
a fight. He says any number of persona
are willing to challenge and get seme
uewspsper notoriety hut when it Comes
to stepping into the ring and arguing the
ratter they speedily find a way to elde-
t. Here Is what Jeffries says;
"All any man that wants a light with
me needs to do Is to show that tnere will
be money In the contest and that he Is
capable of putting up a real fight. I do
not want to meet another Jack Munroe
nor will I do so. A fight with a man
of Munrae's caliber hurts the 'geme.
Whenever a 'dub' like the miner Is touted
as a world-beater and then makes a
sorry showing pugilism loses hundreds ot
friends. Another fight HVe thet would
put me on the blink as a drawing card.
Aa matters now stand I do not see that
there Is a man In business who hss a
right to meet mo." ;
Napoleon Lajoie It Again it the
Top of the Heap.
"Napoleon" Lajole promises " to ' again
shine as the leading batsman of the
American league aa the big French -Canadian
la driving lbs leather to the out-
field In the same skillful manner that
has made him feared by the twlrlers of
the two big leagues for the past gig
years. .(:.t
Lejolc's percentage In batting so far
this season Is close tt the .401 mark and
as he la a consistent performer with the
ash there Is little doube of his maintain-
ing his present good form.
Not since ' the days of big "Dan"
Brouthera tag there been" a ball playjr
who year In and year out has performed
as well aa Lajole with the stick Any
piayer who can hit .& or better Is eon-
siaored a lucky find for any ball club
but a man who can line em out safely
day In and day out certainly is a prise
of the first magnitude for any dub to
haw.
Lajole has no particular style ot bat-
ting. All curves look alike to him. High
or low in or out they are all the same
to him. This does not mean to Imply
that big "Larry" la a chance hitter and
will go after anyhlng. On the contrary
he wants a ball near enough to the plate
to allow him to meet It fairly with his
bat. He has a good eye for a ball and
seldom Is caught "biting" at wild ones.
Lajole a success as a batsman Ilea In
the fact that be doea not pull his bat
back wh.n the ball is delivered but al-
ways swings It In front of him and Is
ever ready to meet the bail full on the
nose. His great strength enables him. to
drive the leather before him with tre-
vnondous force and many an lnflelder
has been carried off his feet trying to
stop the progress of one ot "Larry's" Una
hits.
From the time he was drafted by the
Philadelphia National league from one ot
the New England clubs six year ago La-
jole has kept his name constantly before
the baseball public because of his excep-
tional ability as a ball player. He woe
originally an outfielder but during the
absence of one of the Philadelphia play-
era he was sent to covsr second base and
performed so well that he was made the
regular player In that position.
When the American league was organ-
ised Lajole owing to his batting ability
and his popularity with baseball follow
ers waa . maoe a nenosome oner to joiu
the Cleveland club. It la said he was
given a three years' contract at S8000 a
year with the privilege of renewal. At
any rate the inducement waa so tempt-
ing that "Larry" affixed his signature to
a contract. The Philadelphia National
leasrue claimed Lalote'e services and
fought the case In the courts but Lajole
eventually won our. . .
As sn all-round player and aa a bats-
man be Is undoubtedly the champion of
the diamond.

ner. Walcott Had to Give Away
Weight.
San Francisco Sepetmber K Gans and
Walcott will fight at 141 pounds ringside.
Instead of 141 pounds as agreed upon
when the match waa originally made.
This decision was only reached after one
of the bitterest squabbles between the
managers of the two fighters In the his-
tory of matchmaking In this city. Gans'
manager cared not a whit for any con-
tracts that his representative Zcke
Adams had made nor. Indeed did he
care for the fact that Gans had given his
word to the club that he would appear.
In order to prevent the fight being
called off entirely Pierce after making
every other concession had to give in to
cutting Walcott's weight down another
pound. 4.4
Britt May Sidetrack Gans to
Fight Corbett
New York September U. Even though
Joe Gans has posted $1000 to fight Jimmy
Eritt and has sccepted all the conditions
named In the original challenge of Britt
the chanefs of the two meeting seem re-
mote. A dispatch from San Francisco sayi
that Britt now declares that he la going
to keap his promise and is ready to face
Young Corbett in December. As it waa
figured that Gans snd Britt would meet tn
that month. It Is evident now that Uana
Is to be sidetracked by Britt In favor ot
the Denver man.

AUDITORIUM UNSAFE
But It Was Reported at a Very
Late Minute.
(Houston Post Special.)
Dallas Texaa September It At the mat
moment almost before the time for hold-
ing the Dallas democratic rally at which
United States Senator Bailey is to deliver
the principal speech tomorrow night the
announcement Is made that the audi-
torium of tbe city hall Is unsafe. The an-
nouncement waa made today by Acting
Mayor Lawhon to Chairman Scott. Mr
Bailey's friends will see that a proper
place la procured however and that ths
crowd no matter how large will be ac-
commodated. It has been known for
thirty daya that Senator Bailey was to
peak In th auditorium of the city hall
but not the slightest intimation was made
that the structure waa unsafe
Acting Mayor Lawhon staterf tonight
that Alderman Flanders a profewrlonal
architect had told him today It would
not be safe to have the Bailey meeting
held in the auditorium. Mr. Lawhon ad-
mitted that no statement In writing had
been submitted to the city authorities
against the safety of the auditorium. He
agreed to the proposition that auch a
statement should have been made If any
official believed the building to be un-
safe. Mr. Flanders said the principal
danger that he knows of Is that there are
no proper fire escapes to the building.
The fire escape situation however la the
me as It haa been for nearly fifteen
I ears. Mr. Flanders said that Building
nspector McCord agreed with him that
the auditorium Is unsafe. Mr. MeCord
could not be seen tonight.
Mr. Ballry'a fricods feel that If the
auditorium is unsafe for the holding of
his meeting .that It ought to be for all
others ana that the structure should be
officially condemned In writing and no
meetings be permitted to bs held in tt
by anybody until it la made safe.

(Houston Poet Special.) .
Fort Worth Texas September 18. E. D
Eanderron. State entomologist of th Ag-
ricultural and Mechanical college I In
th city tor the purpose ot lathering ac-
curate figure from th statistics of
Statistician Wilson ot the department at
sgrtculture stationed here on the damage
that haa been done by the boll weevil In
this State. ; Incidentally while Here Mr.
Sanderscon announced that he ha ten-
dered hi resignation to the board of
regents of the Agricultural and Mechan-
ical college effective thirty day from
date for the purpose of accepting the po-
sition of entomologist of the Agricultural
and Mechanical college of New Hamp-
shire .' .'''.
' "1 em here" said Mr. Sanderson today
"for th purpose ot ascertaining Jnst how
much damage the boll weevil baa don
th cotton crop of this State. I Intend
to secure from the figures complied by
Mr. Wilson a statement ot how much cot-
ton per acre th Infected counties produced
before th advent of th weevil and then
by striking an average and taking lute
consideration the number of sores planted
It will not be a difficult matter to make
a reasonably accurate oatlmat of tne
damage that haa been done by comparing
the old figure showing th yields who
the Itgures that show tne yield today.
"I do not believe that any man haa any
oonceptlon of ths dnmage that th cotton
Klantars of th Infected district of Texaa
ave sustained from th weevil. This
seas m however a lucky combination ot
circumstance and a yetmaue method
ot cultivating thereby toroing th oottun
have greatly counteracted the evil se-
lect of these pest. Cotton ha been
unusually early thla season.. Propitious
rains have aaalatd materially In bringing
about thla result. Then again. It has been
proven beyond peradventur that contin-
ual cultivation nastena th maturing ot
cotton and great good haa been accom-
plished In this manner
"I can not advise farmers In the Infect-
ed and In the edge ot th Infected dis-
tricts too strongly the necessity f burn-
ing all cotton stalks as soon as the cotton
Is plrkej.. These stalks haror millions
of weevils and protect them during the
winter months. Don't plow the stalka
under. Oather them ana burn them or
turn the cattle In to eat them. Plowing
the stalka under would produce a positive
Injury Instead of working a good. These
sulks should be clear before frost comes
if possible. Fully to 60 per cent of the
weevils can easily be destroyed In this
mannsr and the trouble that will he In-
curred will be more than compensated tut
In the crop next season."
Mr. Sanderson will probably spend three
or four daya here compiling the figure
he will require In making his estimate. .
