(By RINGSIDE.) NEW TORK, Oct. cliqun of burrowing trying to oust James Jay Johnston as matchmaker find manager of the Show corporation, which conducts boxing bouts in Madison Square Garden. James Jay--It need to bo Joy--is making a determined stand, but the political aspect has crept into the controversy, and It will take a fighter pdbsesslng Johnson'e Indomitable spirit to cope successfully with the abnoxlous element. Johnston presents some forceful arguments why he should be retained. And he backs these arguments with facU and cold figures.

What he may lack in Johnston more than makes up for in brain. His most convincing argument in favor of his retention Is that the Garden has never lost a penny on a box- Ing match since he was installed as matchmaker. This Is more than can be said for Johnston's four predecessors. These sen- tlernen all ante-dated Johnston as super- visee of Garden boxing shows since the Prattley law went into effect, but not one turned in an account that showed profit for the Garden general management. It was with a view of getting results-in the form of huge profits--that the Garden directors secured Johnston after his predecessors had utterly failed And Johnston made good to such an extent that he at once became the foremost promoter of boxing matches In the country, superseding Jimmy Coffroth in this respect.

And for his Judicious management, and money-making proclivities, they are try- inpr to give James Jay the "gate" the Juggernaut Politics trolls at the heels of one It Is well to get off the hlghway Appended are some statistics which to prove that Johnston Js peculiarly adapted to managing the boxing exhibitions In the great metropolis's Three Big Bouts. PurinK 1hc month of March, 191B, Johnston had a hand in staging three bouts, and the gate receipts aggregated 038 50. The WIIlnrd-Moran fight whlr-h Johnston was Instrumental In bringing to tbe Garden. a sufficient magnet to attract 151,000 at the box office It Is quite true that "Tex" RIckard clinched the match and was the nominal promoter, but It wns Johnston who In- ducPd the westerner to stape It in the Garden and thu swelled the coffers of the Gnrdfn dlrrctors to the extent of JJB.OOO This Is the largest sum ever paid for one day's rental of the Garden The two other bouts which were conducted hv Johnston last March were tho Leonard-Dundee and i matches. The former drew $14 5J1 50 everyone predicted a financial failure for Johnston; -while the I eonnrd- Welsh affair showed receipts of $28 fi07.

Tlic Intter sum, it must be remembeted, taken In just days after the Mornn-Wlllard flifht of March 25 Leonard and Dundee fousht on March 8. Johnston furnished more proof of his capnhtlltlos The totnl net profits for twelve flRhts ynder his regime ran up to $53,281. This was after all expenses hnd been raid off. and under this head comes tho rental of $1,000 for each fight The $1.000 Is deducted before a fight starts. In order to assure Garden folks of at least a slight return for opening the doom.

The larpest sum of course, accrued from the WIllnrd-Moran fiKlit while the smnllest sum $2,400. drawn bv Lnnsr- ford the burly colored heavyweights And even with this meagre sum of $2 400 Johnston was able to pay off theTlKhters nnd place more than $1.000 In the hr.ndS'Of the Rtirden officials Johnston hns been directing boxing Uout.s In the Garden for clKhteen months. In all that time has neier staged a "bloomer." BO far ns a profit for the Gnrden Is concerned Tet this Is the man they nre sscpklnif to eject, and in his place Install a mnn whose practical knowledge of the boding- game Is confined to witnessing nn occasional boxing exhibition Politics is to blnmp for the existing: chaos in Garden affairs, and the sooner this disturbing clement Is removed from the premises the sooner New York'a -bovlnp public will be enabled to see some real fistic fireworks. For Johnston has a number of attractive matches contemplation, If Johnston Is removed hy the powers that be, he i immediately "buck" the Garden contlnsent hy staging the matches he has In mind nt a rival cluh, which in size is second only to Madison Square Garden. And then we'll see If Johnston Is really the promoting senlus he hns thus far seemed to have shown himself to be LEftCUE TO OPEN Commercial Bowling League Is New Organization to Start Monday.

The storm, had abated, but it took a toll of seven lives ono: sent two ships to the bottom of Lake Erie. Only timely warnings from the government weather bureau, officials frere declared, prevented a repetition of the scenes of "Black Friday" in November, 1913, when a score of ships ware battered to pieces on the great lakes, and 250 sailors died. "With the arrival of steamer F. O.

Hart-well, at Fairport this afternoon, bearing ten survivors from the wrack of the steamer Marshall F. Butters, the toll from last night's storm was definitely fixed at seyen. Of these, six perished when the barge D. L. Filer, foundered off Bar Point, Erie, after a futile twelve-hour battle against the heavy seas.

He was rescued from the rigging of his sunken, ship by members of the crew of the passenger liner Western States, who reached him in a lifeboat after a thrilling two-hour battle with the graves.

Thompson of the Nebraska Dry federation. He says.

"The compaign for the amendment is progressing in a very satisfactory manner. Reports coming in from the many counties in the state indicate general activity, The county and local federations are quite generally carry- Ing on a school house campaign reaching the farmers who are for the most part intensely interested in and enthusiastic for the amendment. They are coming to understand as never bo- fore how they have been double- crossed under the present liquor licence system whereby they have been required to pay Increased taxes to carry on criminal prosecution and to pay the costs for maintaining as large number of the Insane, paupers and inebriates produced by the traffic or incidental thereto from which they derive not a. penny of revenue from the license money, paid. "The people are generally coming to see that a traffic which ppssesses no Intrinsic.merit but winch is productive of'all manner of evil should not be longer tolerated even under a system of legalized bribery where the city and townspeople have been bribed through the license fee to tolerate the saloon.

From Out In State. "Most encouraging: reports are coming in from all over the state where public meetings have been held In the interest of the amendment. One person reports that in a certain large town of the state where a year ago it would have been impossible to find ten men who -would listen ten minutes to a temperance speech a crowd of 500 men last week stood and one-half hours listening to Dr. Phifer of Demer gHIng an account of the wonderful good results that had come to the city of Denver and the stute of Colorado from headoption of statewide prohibition.

PHOENIX, Oct. thousand Arizona folks packed the Polk street baseball grounds here Saturday afternoon to see and hear "Teddy" Roosevelt. Phoenix and Maricopa county contributed five thousand, and the surrounding counties of Pima, Pln- Yuma, which 5re big as twice that many states back east, gave the remainder. It was here in this section that i Roosevelt recruited most of his rough riders and it is this country hereabout that jumped some $200 an acre in value right after the colonel dedicated the irrigation dam that bears his name. So his coming was like the proverbial "welcome home," Roosevelt, in thoroughly Roosevelt fashion, sensed the sort of audience that sat sweltering before him.

under a searing- Arizona sun. He had been told on the way from Prescott here by "Tom" Campbell, republican candidate for governor, that the state was sure democratic, and "that there is no interest in the Mexican question here. He wanted Roosevelt to include some other subjects, but the colonel declined. Talked Arizona Brogue. "That's the very reason I'll say what I want to say.

We will see if we can't stir up something ia the Mexican issue." Throughout his rather long address there was scarcely an "ing" suffiz pronounced.
