final battle Of the year.
Never before has the younger class

these who keep up the highest enthu-

For two years the Roarers have been

ball world. and to defeat them is the
highest honor that can be obtained
among the boy footballists. only TWICE

"Corbett" has added three new SPAR
ring partners to his staff and goes
through three fast rounds with them
every day. The gym" Is very close
and the heat makes ii seem like a
Chinese laundry. The little fellow
wears three sweaters while working
inside and is losing flesh rapidly.
Tim McGrath and George Weeden,
of New York, went on the road with
"Corbett' Tuesday and can hardly
move now. Fourteen miles was the
limit of the run and the two think II
better to stay indoors and hear about
the long spins.
Both Hanlon and "Corbett" are
practising baseball every day for their
big game, which takes place Satnr1
day afternoon on the local field. nd
die Graney, who has been selected 10
referee the fight, will umpire. Hanlon

Eddie Hanlon says that he has a
surprise package for Young Corbett,"
and that it contained a wallop that
would return him the winner in their
coming fight for the featherweight
championship.
I've got one that will put this man
'Corbett' to the bad, for sure" said
Hanlon to a number of friends who
called at his training camp. 1T may
seem a bit old and may have been
used for ages in the ring, but It is a
standby with me.
After studying the various blows, I
have come to the conclusion that a
lefthand punch TO the jaw is as good
blow as a fighter can use on MS
opponent. II you land II right, you
can depend on II sending your man
TO the floor for the count.
This is the blow with which l count
on beating 'Corbett.' He Is clever and

VEGETABLE PORcUPINE.
wild Cattle Eat the Razor-LiI<e
spines With Seeming IrOn-CIad
Mouths,


Mouths.
From Country Life in America.
The best-hated cactus in America
is the cholla. The Mexicans say that
If you go near eholla joint it will
jump at you. Certainly If you touch
one 1t will stick, and when you try
to free yourself it will pierce your
other hand as well. Each pendant
joint seems to reach out for the pass
erby, and the ground beneath the
broad cholla trees is strewn with
fragments, many of which take root
and grow.
After one has felt the sharp spines
through heavy boots and seen their
needle points, 1t is a source of con-
tinual wonder to see the wild cattle
of Arizona quietly browsing on chollas.
The phrase "cactus-fed," as applied to
Arizona, is not a figure of speech.
During the years of drought thous-
ands of cattle carry themselves over
until the next grass by eating chollas.
With their leathery tongues and lips
they strip the spiny joints from the
trunk and leave the wide-spreading
cactus a bare and woody skeleton.
1t is only the range cattle, whose
mouths have been hardened on the
thorny mesquite and ironwood browse,
who will undertake to eat cactus, and
cattlemen therefore often burn the
thorns from chollas and nopals in or
der to tempt their more fastidious
animals to eat.

From the Los Angeles Times


In the case of John King. tried In
the United States District Court az
Portland, Ore. before Judge Bellinger,
1t was decided that it is no crime 10
work Skin game" on a slot machine
by feeding it leaden slugs, provided the
machine does not baIk at this method
OF procedure. 1t was shown that King.
by using lead slugs, had emptied one
machine in Baker City and was fas
accommodating money from other ma
chimes when he was detected. The
prosecution could not show who owned
the machines. consequently the court
held that II was not known that any
one was being defrauded by the use of
lead slugs unless 1t was the machine.
II was held that IL was an essential
part of the case to show that some one
was being defrauded, and on account
of this defect the case was declared in
complete. The jury found the defend
ant not guilty, without leaving the
jury box. Considerable amusement
was occasioned by a remark of the
court that the machine appeared to
have worked as we'll with slugs as it
did with genuine money. and he did
not think 1t was being defrauded.

The Giants Will Reach Savannah
Some Time in March.
The New York National League Base
ball Club will train in Savannah next
spring. Arrangements for the trip have
been completed and announced by Man
ager McGraw. While the other Ma
,tional and American League teams
have given the go-by to many of their
last years training quarters in the
South, and chosen other places, Sa-
vannah seems good enough for Nc
Graw again, and he will bring his
veterans and the string with
him to Timber up for the open
nounced by McGraw, the players will
stay in Savannah a week. They will
report in Washington for the South
ern trip on March 6, and next day
will start for Savannah.
The programme of games while here
need not worry McGraw'S men much
when they arrive. If the plans of the
promoters of the South Atlantic Lea
que do not miscarry the Savannah
management will have a likely lot of
youngsters to cavort around the dia-
mond with the Giants and give them
all the practice they want.
AS was the case last year the team
will play a number of games before
going back to New York
They will be in Birmingham from
March Is to March 20, playing South
ern League teams there. On March
80 and 81 they will play in Little
Rock; April l and 2 in Nashville, and
April 4, and 6 in Montgomery, re-
turning to New York on April 9.
Several swaps have been made by the
astute McGraw and the list of play
ers has been considerably changed
since the team left there last year.
The following is the list. as given out,
those to be brought South:
w. Mulligan, a pitcher from Buffalo,;
Dunn, Dahlen, McGann, Gilbert, War
ner, Bowerman, Ames, Mertes, Mathew
son, Lauder, McGinnity, Taylor, Nc
Cormick, Browne and Bresnahan. The
names of George Davis and Fielder
Jones also appear on the list given
out by the New York Club, they haV-
ing signed contracts, but that does
not mean they will play with the New
Yorks.

Right after the Roarers and High
School finish their game Christmas
morning, the Lawton Cadets and the
Columbias will meet in their second
game of foot ball this year.
Once before these teams met and the
first half of the game was the hard
est contested ever witnessed in the
Bolton Street Park. Not once during
this half did the oall get out of the
Lawtons twenty-five line. The teams
were evenly matched, and not until
the latter part of the second half
were the Columbus able to score and
then theye made a touch down on
blocked kick. The Lawtons principal
tackle got hurt little later and the
Colombias walked right through them
for the second touchdown. Many ex-
carnations of praise were heard after
the game on the good playing OF the
boys by members Of the Savannah and
Jacksonville teams.

HIGH SCHOOL BOYS
DEFEATED BENEDICTINES,

For the fourth time this season the
Benedictine College football team has
gone down in defeat. They were de-
cisively beaten by the High School Fri
day afternoon by the score of 10 to 0.
Neither side scored in the first half,
and the High School boys resolved to
win the game in the second half, and
went to work and scored a touchdown
atter but five minutes of play, White
going between tackle and end for a
forty-yard run. Saffold worked the
quarter back run to advantage in the
latter part of the second half. gaining
nrteen yards every trial. He made the
last touchdown on a good run around
right end for thirty yards, and crossed
the line just as the whistle blew. In
neither cases were goals kicked.
The High School counted on end runs
and runs outside of tackle to gain for
them, while the Benedictines used
plunges through tackle and guard.
When called upon, both Youkum and
Morton gained on center PUSHES, The
High School was penalized twice, and
the Benedictines once for off side play.
Men were laid out at nearly every
scrimmage, and two of the BenedictineS
had to leave the game.
1t was ideal weather for the game,
and the ground was in good condition,
and barring the continual wrangling,
the game was a good one. The Ben
edictines had much trouble in making
up team, and had to take in two out
siders, a thing which the High School
objected to, but to get game up final
ly consented to their playing.
For the High School, Gilbert, White
and Saffold did the best playing and
Bouhan, the Husseys and Youkum
starred for the losers.
The play in the first half was mostly
in the High School territory. The play
ing of the High School in the last half
was the best they have done this sea-
son. Saffold took the ball from his
only twenty-yard line on a series of
quarter back runs straight down the
field for a touchdown.
The line up of the two teams was:
