"Old John L. was the daddy of them all," Jeffries said. 'He in- vented the knockout punch, was the first man to make a science out of the knockout, with his famous right cross. We are copied that stuff from nim, but none of us younger fellows ever used it like John L. could. When his old ram of a fish connected with a jaw it carried more steam than any of us fellows who followed him. "And how he's dead. Say some- thing nice about )old John L., will you?" he conclutted. James J. Corbett the only man who ever defeated John L. Sullivan, paid a tribute to the memory of the vet- eran fighter. "The death of John L. Sullivan has taken from the realm of sport the most idolized pugilist of all times," said Corbett. "He was the most re- inarkable man of his weight and in- ches in ring history, and I feel a great personal loss in his passing. 'Honest to the core, a wonderful fighting man, with a wonderful per- sonality, he 'was never once coh- nected with a battle in all of his years in the ring over which the shadow of suspicion was cast. All of his battles were won or lost on their merits. He was a great, big, two-fisted, honest hearted man's man, with a million friends.

BAN JOHNSON ENDS DREAMS Of Toronto and Baltimore For Major League Fame. Ban Johnson, president of the American League, has put an'end to major league hopes of Baltimore and Toronto in a recent 'reply to these clubs "in which he stated that there was only one city outside the major league circuits deserving to be pro- moted to higher standing and. that was Kansas City. Johnson declared that Kansas City had the population and the necessary enthusiasii to support 'a major league club, and the only reason it had not attained this standing was because of its geographical location, which made it impossible to include it in either of the circuits. Johnson's announcement will be a great disappointment to Baltimore promoters because the old Federal League backers in that city have been entertaining hopes that some readjustment of circuits would bring the old home of the Orioles back to major league standing. Toronto had a great season last year with a pen- nant winning club under Larry La- joie,' and when Ed Barrow and Ban Johnson had a scheme last fall to form a third major league circuit, Toronto and Baltimore were includ- ed in the readjustment.
