in the event of war between the
United States and Germany, "the
Americans would get licked out of
their boots before they got their
wind" Poultry Bigelow must be

THE proposition to establish a
municipal coal yard in Chicago,
according to the plan laid out by
Willie Hearst's paper, has proved
a farce and failure. The poor
people have not been able to get a
pound more of coal through the
municipal commission than before
its establishment by the city coun-
ell.

We always like to see farmer or
a horseman drive up to h1tchlng-
post these winter days, jump out OF
the rig, unfold big warm blanket
ard carefully cover his faithful
horse. There il big heart in that
man. He is thinking of something
else besides himself, and he takes as
much pleasure in caring for his
horses comfort as for himself. On
the other hand, it makes US sad to
see great big man, warmly clad
from head to foot, drive a steaming
horse up to the rack, hastily tie him
fast. leave him shivering, and make
for the nearest hot stove. There is
something wrong about this fellow.
He may be a nice man, belong to
church, may not swear, smoke nor
have any bad habits. but he has no
feelings for a dumb animal.

seven men on the line inside Of the
twenty-five yard line, but they didn't.
Martin, substitute quarterback of the
Films, acted as referee, and gave the
Savages no show at all. In the last
ten minutes to play, with the score 5
to 0 in favor of the Films, Luddy, half
back for the Savages, made a fine run
of twenty five yards on a delay pass.
Referee Martin wanted the ball
brought back, as he saw his team was
being beaten. Both sides drangled for
about seven minutes, and then Umpire
Dunphy told the teams to line up. The
Savages did so. while the Elms walked
off the field. The Savages pushed the
ball over the line for a touchdown and
kicked a goal. They claim the game
by a score of 6 to So The Young Films
claim that dnasmuch as they have de-
feated the Savages BY the same score
as the st Thomas Juniors did, the lat
ter team should be willing to give them
another game. They challenge them
to play for the championship of the
city.

BRAVE IN FACE OF DEATH.
The Thrilling Grand stand Play of a
Famous BuII-Fighter I'm a
Spanish Arena.

One of the most thrilling incidents
ever Witnessed in the arena is recalled
by the recent feat of the Spanish tore
ador Reverte. 1t occurred at Bayonne,
says an exchange. After disposing of
two bulls Reverte had twice plunged his
sword into third, Of great strength and
ferocity, and as the beast continued ca
reening wildly the spectators began to
hiss Reverte for bungling Wounded to
the very quick of his pride, the Spaniard
shouted: THE bull Is slaini" and,
throwing aside his sword, sank on one
knee with folded arms in the middle OF
the ring. He was right, but he had not
allowed for the margin of accident.
! The wounded beast charged full upon
him, but the matador, splendid to the
last, knelt motionless as statue, while
the spectators held their breath in hor-
rided suspense. Reaching his victim,
the bull literally bounded at him, and
as he sprang he sank in death, with his
last effort giving one fearful lunge of
the head that drove a horn into the
thigh of the kneeling man and laid bare
the bone from the knee to the joint Still
Reverte never flinched, but remained
kneeling, exultant In victory, but calm
ly contemptuous Of applause, till he was
carried away to heal him of his griey-
GUS wound

Weimer was there with everything all
season long, and seems to have shade,
small but perceptible, on the other great
left-handers of the year-Hahn, Plank,
White and Waddell. Wicker, of Chica-
go, was a great game winner, but the
luck was always with him.
In all-around service and genuine skill
the five best pitchers in the National
League seem to be Lever. Mathewson,
McGinnity, Philippi and Weimer. If any
team could bunch these five, what aggre-
cation could stand against them?
RUDE Waddell was the most dazzling
pitcher In the American league but not
the most effective. Tom Hughes and Cy
Young won games by the ton, but it was
the team behind them, as in the case OF
Pittsburg. Both are Al men, but neither
would have Jared SO well in any other
club. Boston pinned more faith on It's
pitchers than did Pittsburg, but the
Somersets never let confidence In the
boxmen slacken up their team work and
general hustling.
Bernhard, of Cleveland, did grand
work, but was out of 1t half the season.
Plank and White, both left-handers,
pitched with great ability. The work OF
Sudhoff was one of the most remarkable
features of the American league cam
.paign. Moore did superb work, but was
out of it part OF the summer. 1t seems
impossible to even select the best five
among the American league pitchers.
owing mainly to the fact that several Of
the best, after making great records.
were retired for various causes, so that
there was no chance for them to have
had slumps Of their percentages. Posi-
bly, Hughes, Young, Sudhoff, Waddell
and White would be as good quintette
as anybody could select, and such a
bunch of five would be tough game for
any team to go against.
Three world automobile records have
been broken by Barney Oldfield at Dem
YER The five-mile record of asa was
lowered to 4:43, the ten-mile record re-
duced from 9:43 to 9:341z, the 15-mile
from 14:S5 to 14:24A. Oldfeld held the
old records.
At the Pare des Princes track at Paris
Tommy Hall, the English cyclist, has
broken the cycling record for one hour
by covering 81 miles and 535 yards. The
previous record, SO miles and 91S yards,
was made October 18 by M Dangla.
The wrestling match for the cham
pionship of the world which took place
at Pittsburg between Tom Jenkins, Of
Cleveland, o., and Dan Mcleod, of Can
ada, was won by Jenkins, he taking first
and third falls.
Tyson Hamilton, formerly of Matti-
tuck, L. l., one of the best-known ath-
letes and baseball players of the old
days, is dead. He was member of old
Atlantic baseball team.

AS a plain, hard fact, there were sew.
eral great pitchers this season, men who
stack up SO evenly that nobody could
differentiate between them. Circum-
stances, surroundings, style. of play oil
the teams, all those things must be
counted in, and when all these points
are considered the fair-minded man
should admit that, great though his own
favorite might be, there are others who
on the same teams, would have averaged
just about the same in games won and
runs allowed.
In considering National league pitch
ers the Pittsburg champions hardly fig

by batting, not by the work of boxmen.
This is proved by the fact that the
Pirates had a lot of pitchers, and used
them all, not relying on any one, two,
or three of the number No Pittsburg
pitcher was worked as often as Mathew
son, McGinnity or Taylor. The great
Pittsburg team could saunter up with
