To Buy Bostons

Fight . Promoter Couldn'tRaise Price to Purchase

National TailendersPittsburg, Aug. 1 The negotiations

for the sale of the minority interestof the Boston National league clubto Jack Gleason, the San Franciscoprize fight promoter, have been called off. This was announced by Pres-ident , William Hepburn Russell, theowner of the team. The inability ofGleason to raise the $30,000 with whichto purchase the club stock was thereason given for the calling off thedeal..

The Boston club is not for sale, andOwner Russell stated that he has noidea of disposing of his team. .. Hesaid he --- Is going to strengthen histeam, and will not be averse to spend-ing the cash for good players. WhenPresident Russell returned to hls hotel after the game at Forbes Field atelegram from Gleason awaited himIn which he stated he could not raisethe money. The following messagewas then sent by the owner to Secretary Kelly, of the Boston club:

Regret Gleason's " Inability to meethis contract, but he acted the man inadmitting it, and I entertain for himthe warmest personal regard. Thisleaves me in full control, and I expect Murphy and his friends will bemy only associates. Will spareneither time nor money in the effortto give the Boston fans a winningteam next season."

Russell denied the report that hecontemplated trading; or sellingSweeney. He has other trades, however, under contemplation.

At that time It was reported that President Garry Herr-mann, of the Cincinnati Reds; BarneyDreyfuss, John T. Brush and CharleyMurphy were in favor of-hi- s reinstate-ment. Yesterday it developed thatHerrmann has not decided to vote toreinstate Magee at once. Herrmannsaid that he had not made up hismind how he will vote.. "I have given this matter deep

Sherwood Magee, leftfielder with the Philadelphia club,who was suspended for the rest of theseason and fined $200 for attackingUmpire Finneran in Philadelphia onJuly 12. President Lynch, of the Na-tional League, who suspended Magee,will attend the meeting.

Color Warm and Cold.v, One clear, cold Winter's day Benja-min Franklin spread a number ofhandkerchiefs carefully on a levelstretch of snow. One of the handker-chiefs was. black, another white andthe others of various colors. Sometime afterward he returned and re-

moved the hankerchlefs carefully oneby one, measuring the depth of enowunder each. Under the black handker-chief he found that the snow had melt-ed considerably; under a red handker-chief, , almost as much; under a bluehankerChief, very little, and under thewhite one scarcely any. By this simpleexperiment he learned that color has agreat deal to do with the warmth ofclothing. White shef the sun's heatalmost as well as an oilskin shedswater; blue is nearly as heat proofgreen is less so; yellow is a warm color.red a still warmer color, while blacksoaks up almost all the sun's heat thatstrikes it.

: China's Floating Islands.On all the great lakes of China are

found floating islands, which are enor-mous rafts of bamboo overlaid withearth, and bearing on the surface ofthewater pretty houses and gardens.They are, in fact, aquatic farms, bear-ing crops of rice and vegetables. Therich bottom mud, utilized as an artifi-cial soil, is extremely fertile and yieldsbountiful harvests, though on a smallscale. In a country where there is alack' of available land the floatingplantations are most serviceable, largesails being attached to the dwellinghouse as well as to each corner of theIsland whenever it is desired to moveabout. After gathering a crop ofgrain or garden produce from his farmthe floating farmer casts his nets intothe water and from their depths bringsup a supply of fish for his family.

What a fine murder the Australianpromoter has framed up!

Gunner Molr knocked out Bombar-dier Wells in three rounds at London'., Now figure this out. .

Eddie a s middleweightscaling approximately 154 pounds, wal-loped Petty Ofllcer Curran until ,thewhole British army squirmed at xnenunishment.

Then Curran turns around and beatsGunner Molr to a pulp.

-- Molr in turn hangs a lusty right tothe Jaw of Bombardier Wells, and England's present aspirant ror. the cnamDionship takes a dive into the resinand remains there.

-- And this Wells is the fellow who is"being groomed, to lift the heavyweightcrown from thte slanting dome ox lavArtha. , j

Oi yoi, oi yoi; it will be a moida.h,surely. ,

In Justice to Wells, however, It mustbe admitted that the knockout againsthim registered by Gunner Molr was agreat deal of a fluke, wells was wnipping Molr easily and looked like acertain winner as the third refund wasdrawing to a close. ,

Then, as Wells tells it, Moir beinga friend of his in fact, old trainingcamp mates a feeling of pity creepsinto the heart of the Bombardier. Helets his guard drop momentarily, andMolr, seeing the chance, shot out ahaymaker that landed flush on thechin. It was curtains for. Bombardier.

That Moir realized his victory wasdue ' to a' chance" blow was manifestshortly afterward when efforts weremade by Wells, to secure a returnmatch. To all overtures Moir turneda deaf ear, and he has persistentlyavoided the Bombardier ever since.

he defeat of Wells was a big shockto his many frieneds throughout theempire, many of whom were begin-ning to believe that Wells was reallydeveloping . Into a heavyweight ... ofclass. Wells, a little later In a meas-ure redeemed himself 'for his sorryshowing against . Moir , by taking onIon Hague, at one time heavyweightholder of the British crown. Haguelasted Just two rounds against Wjells- No ring follower over here will concede that Wells Is a lt opponent forJohnson .in ring condition or out, andif Mcintosh persists- - in bringing the.men together as now contemplated itwill be a certainty that the big blackwill simply toy with the Bombardieruntil he gets ready to. put over thefinishing punch. 1

Wells Is twenty-tw-o years of age,weighs in, perfect, shape about 190 lbs.and stands 6 feet 3 inches in height.

Good judges of boxers, like JimmyBritt and Jimmy Clabby, say thatWells Is unusually Vlever for a bigfellow. But he lacks punishing pow-er and does not seem able to standup against rough walloping.

Wells began fighting while a soldierin India. His father was a musicalcomposer who earned enough to keepthe family in modest, circumstances.When he. died the responsibility de-volved upon Billy. Finding the wa-g- es

of a bombardier insufficient, hesupplemented his earnings by turningprofessional fighter. Like GunnerMoir, he eventually won the armychampionship of India. Returning toEngland he won a couple of contestswhen he was seen by Eugene Corri,who can claim .the distinction of be-ing the real discoverer of this particu-lar "white man's hope." Corri toldMcintosh that Wells was the mostpromising, heavyweight he had everseen and the Australian lost no timein placing him under contract.

In connection with the talk of amatch between Johnson and Wells itIs rumored that Johnson may take onPetty Officer Curran at London aboutthe middle of August. This boutwould be even a bigger farce thanthe Johnson-Wel- ls burlesque.

Sherwood Magee May. v Lose Chalmers Trophy

( - i.i. t

Phladelphia Star Had GoodChance for AutomobilePrize Until Suspended

Unlessv the suspension of SherwoodMagee is lifted- - it is likely again tocost Magee a very good chance at theChalmers'. Automobile Trophy.

Last , year a great many NationalLeague fans felt that It was unfortun-ate- t

inasmuch -- as' two automobileswere griven awart that both should goto American League players..

It will be rememebered that the con-test between Ty Cobb and Laioie wasso close that Hugh Chalmers gave anautomobile to each of these great batsmen. Both Cobb and . Lalole , hadwonderful seasons last year, and theiraverages were much higher than anyof the. National League batters. Despite this, Sherwood Magee led the Natlonal League, by a good margin overail tne otner. players who had participated in. anything like the full season's games. He finished the sea-son with a percentage of .331.

Had the competition last year beenconaned to batters, but also providedfor a car to be giveji to one playerin eacn league, as it is this year, thetwo cars would have gone to Cobb andMagee. , .Naturally, leading his ownleague and not being rewarded was agreat, disappointment 'to Magee andnis enthusiastic Philadelphia supporters.' -

If Magee could "have repeated hisperrormane of last year in the National League he no doubt wouldhave beeen given a large share of thecredit for the wonderful showing the

are making this season, andundoubtedly would have .receivedcareful consideration (by the commit-tee of newspaper men who are to de-cide on the winners of the trophy thisyear, This would have been true hadMagee not had his run-i- n with theumpire. ,

The two automobiles which ara ttbe awarded this year go to the onepiayer in each league who, in theopinion of this committee of newspa-per men, has done the most - fork hisclub in its league race. The conducton and off the field is one of the thingsto be considered. Accordingly, thefact that President Lynch has ruledthat Magee is to blame in his contro-versy with the umpire and has sus-pended him for the season wouldremove Magee's name from consider-ation by the Chalmers' Trophy com-mittee this year. .
