THE WORLD OF SPORT.
THE COMING BOXING TOURNAMENT
OF THE ATHLETIC CLUB.
The Great Race Between Geraldine
and Rinfax Discussed.

The members of the Los Angeles Ath-
letic club are evincing the liveliest in
terest in the coming sparring contests
for the championship of the club.
Handsome gold medals have been or
dered for the different classes. The
young men are to struggle for suprem-
acy on the night of May 14th. The
feather-weight class will in all proba-
bility be contested by Strayhorn, Brook
and Mclean. Any member of the
club under 125 pounds is eligible
to this class. The light weights must
weigh in under 140 pounds. Chapman
and Osgood are the most prominent can
didates now in training, although there
is talk of several dark horses in this
class. The welter weight is liable to fall
through, no one apparently caring to
tackle McAleer. The middle weight
class promises to be a hot one. Flam-
mer, McAleer, Joia and ]. d. Patrick
announce their intention of donning the
mittens. John Brink and Jim Winston
might be the contestants in the heavy
weight class.
The Los Angeles dogs bound for the
San Francisco show left yesterday. By
Thursday it will be known how many
winners hail from Southern California.
*x*
The greatest race of the season is to
come off at San Francisco on Thursday
afternoon. 1t is the match race between
Geraldine and Rinfax at thirteen-six
teenths of mile. Geraldine is proba-
bly, the speediest mare that ever looked
through bride, from jump up to
three-quarters of mile. She was bred
at Santa Anita, and is by Grimstead,
the sire of Volante, Sinaloa, Esperanza
and other celebrated race horses. Ange
leflos are naturally interested in seeing
Geraldine win. On the other hand
Rinfax, the great three-year-old colt,
was bred at Palo Alto, but her sire, Ar
gyle, is now owned by l.. j. Rose of this
city.
NJ.
Geraldine appears to have the best of
the race on paper. The distance is to
her liking, but it must not be over
looked that mares are uncertain at this
time of the year. Geraldine appears to
be all right, however, judging by her
three-quarter mile run the other day.
Riniax is grand colt-much grander
in fact than many turtles give him
credit of being. Last year he proved to
be the best two-year-old in the state, and
he has won all the three-year-old events
this season without any apparent effort.
The coast record should be wiped out
when Geraldine and Rinfax cut loose.

THERE is a great deal of the Chadband

THERE is great deal of the Chadband
about Postmaster-General Wanamaker,
and Chadband was Dickens's modern
version of the Pharisee in vogue in the
time of Jesus Christ. This side partner
of Matthew Stanley Quay would not lose
anything in the public estimation if he
were to keep his piety to himself, as
most self-respecting people are content
to do. The Saviour had something very
suggestive to say in Matthew about not
doing your works in public to be seen of
men, and his injunction not to pray
with many words and to pray in secret
is just as good now as at any time.
President Harrison certainly failed to
score point when he brought Wana-
maker with him.

The Cowcatcher Carried OFF her Colt.

The Cowcatcher Carried OH her Colt.
A valuable mare and colt escaped from
the barnyard of Abiah Hayes, the noted
stock raiser, of Cincinnati, recently, just
as freight train came laundering down
toward an adjacent crossing. The colt
got in the way of the train and was
caught on the cowcatcher, in despite of
the mares anxious neighing. The long
train could not be stopped until it had
run the better part of mile. Then the
colt rolled off unhurt. The mare had
wildly leaped culverts and crossing
fences, and was almost up with the en-
gine when her unharmed colt fell safely
down the side of the track.-Cor. Phila-
delphia Record.

Best Time to Tune q Piano.

Most people let their pianos go until
the ear cannot tolerate them, but piano
requires constant attention, and where
the changes of the season are marked
ought to be tuned at least four times a
year. Where the tuning is occasional
and not regular, either the spring after
the fires are extinguished, or the early
winter, after they are well under way, is
the best time for tuning, for then the
piano is least subject to climatic changes.

WHERE THEY CAME FROM.

Now that the blossoming fruit trees
have gwen abundant yield for this year,
it may not be uninteresting to say
few words about the native homes OF
these familiar friends. Apples are to
be found in both Europe and America
in the state known as crabs, but have
been cultivated for thousands of years.
Pliny enumerates twenty two varieties
we'll known in his day, and there are
now about two thousand varieties.
Cherries were introduced into Italy
from Asia Minor by the noted epicure
Lucullus, 73 B. c.. Grapes are natives
of Persia, and thence by way of Egypt
Greece and Sicily came to Italy and
France in the second century. Peaches
originated in Persia, from thence went
east 10 China and west to Rome in the
time of Claudius. The fruit was thought
by the common people to be a tempt
ing device of their enemies to poison
them, and so had the same difficulty
in being ad pied as an article of food
as had the tomato, which was taken to
England by the early travellers of South
America in 1896. 1t was long con-
sidered merely beautiful ornamental
plant, and went by the name of love
apple, until within the memory of
persons now living when few venture
some persons began to eat the fruit.
Pears have Eeen common for ages in
Syria and Egypt, but were always baked
before being eaten, the pear, as We
know it, being after all modern in
venuoD. Qninces were found in a
wild state in Austria and the Greek
islands and have been used for pre-
serves from early Roman days.

WOMEN WHO DO NEW WORK.

West Virginia boasts of the only

engineer IN the world. Her name is
Miss Ida Hewitt, and she is daughter
OF one of the chief owners of the Cairo
Short Line, on which she runs. She
knows all the mechanism of the loco
motive, is fairly expert with the tools
used in its construction, and, though
taking an engineers place at first only
as a supply, she now makes regular
runs on her locomotive, that is model
OF neatness, and has never failed to be
on time but once since she put her
small hand on its lever.
Her hair covered with a cap, her
gown with a suit of blue denim, and
her face on the lookout is said to be
one of most piquant charm.
A woman in Portsmouth, England,
has been teaching navigation to the
youth of the town so skillfully that
many of her pupils have successfully

tons and obtained certificates as mates
aud shippers.

of the mental faculties. Just why

"Then choke 'em, quick !" Poison

The boys began to beat the young
wolves with their sticks, whereupon the
little animals set up terrible yelping,
which could be heard outside the den.
Suddenly the she wolf jumped out
of bush close by and rushed past the

led to her nest.

could not stop her until she had got
partly into the hole, but he managed to

THE LAST BRITISH WOLF.

The wolf is a very hard animal to ex,
terminate. 1t is practically absent
from the Eastern United States, but
stray individuals are still found IN the
mountains even there, and probably
will be found for centuries to come.
There are wolves in every great country
of the continent of Europe, after many
centuries of civilization. In France
several hundred are killed every year.
In Great Britain, however, there are no
wolves. Tradition records that the last
one was killed in the year 1900, and
the story of how il was done has been
told 5v many fireside.
1t was in Sutherlandshire, Scotland,
that the scene Of the little story s.laid.
A shepherd, named Poison, had dis
covered in the rocks near Flen- Loeb
the den of wolf which had been ravag-
ing tine country.
Poison had with him his son aud an
other young shepherd-boy. The mouth
of the den was very narrow. Discover
ing from certain signs that the old wolf
was not at home, and being himself too
large to enter the den, Poison sent the
two boys in to see if there were any
young wolves.
The boys crept in, and presently dis

DAN'L WEBSTER ON RECIPROCITY

In speech on the tariff made by
Daniel Webster in the House of Rep
resentatives on the Ist and I'd days of
April, 1924, he said:
Commerce is not gambling among
nations for a stake, to be won by some
and lost by others. 1t has not the
tendency necessarily to impoverish one
of the parties to it, while it enriches the
other; all parties gain, all parties make
profits, all parties grow rich by the
operation of just and liberal commerce.
If the world had but one cline and but
one soil, if all men had the same wants
and the same means on the spot of
their existence to crafty their wants,
then, indeed, what one obtained from
the other by exchange would lnjure one
party in the same degree that it bene-
flied the other; then, indeed, there
would be some foundation tor the bal
ance of the trade. But Providence has
disposed our lot much more kindly.
We inhabit various earth. We have
reciprocal wants and recipr ocal means
of gratifying ones another wants. This
is the true origin of commerce, which is
nothing more than an exchange of
equivalents, and, from the rude barter
of its primitive state to the refined and
complex condition in which we see it,
its principle is uniformly the same, its
only object being in every stage to pro-
dnce that exchange Of commodities be-
tween individuals and between nations
which shall conduce to the advantage
and happiness of BOTH"
