DEATH OF GEN. 'wooDsoN.
Veteran of Many Indian Campaigns
Expired at Paola,

Paola, Kas., Aug. S-Brigadier Cen
eral A. +. Woodson, u. S. A. retired,
died here today. He was 81 years old
and had military service covering forty
one years. He will be buried in the
National cemetery at Arlington, Va
General WoOdson was one of the best
known military men of the west Dur
ing his long career in the army he was
almost constantly on the frontier and
fought Indians from the Missouri river
to their last strongholds in New Mex
leo and Arizona and the northwest
country When active campaigning
against the Indians was no longer re-
quired the then Colonel Woodson was
placed in command of FIT. Reno, / T.
and remained continuously in command
of that post until relieved from active
duty last spring. Before being placed
on the retired list he was promoted to
the rank of brigadier general, and soon
after his retirement was stricken with
paralysis, from which he never recov-
cred. General Woodson was a great
lover of fine horses, especially the light
harness type, and while at Fort Reno
devoted considerable attention to the
breeding of horses of this class. He was
a true sportsman and loved to witness a
contest of speed for the sake of detern-
lining the superiority of one horse over
another, the true test Of excellence He
enjoyed large circle of acquaintance
IN civil life, and was universally ad-
mired for his fine, manly character and
agreeable manner. Few army officers

Cincinnati Reds Have Eye on
Pitcher Stewart.
Said to Be a Rising King of the
Slab With Saints.
HE HAS THE ABILITY.
At Present Doing Good Work
for st. Paul Team.
Chech Has Also Been Tipped
Off as a Conner.

Cincinnati, Aug. S.-Every mail into
Redland brings news of some new dia-
mond wonder, and if Garry Hermann
should stand on the City Hall steps and
give the hailing sign to all those who
have been recommended to the Cincin-
natl club the field at League Park
would have to be enlarged to give them
room for their feet. From Kansas City
yesterday came a pointer from native
son of Cincinnati-an old-timer who has
served his day in the baseball realm.
Joe Elbick sent the message: las a
Cincinnatian by birth, 1 think it proper
and just to assist your native town as
best you can. 1 wish to make an assist,
and you can have the put-out. Keep
your eyes on this man Stewart, pitcher
for st. Paul. Now, don't be caught
mapping and let this man get away. 1
saw him work, but do not know the
man at all AS a witness to his work,
1 admire him and believe he has the
stuff in him.
When the Red Chief heard the good
words he dug into Vol. II. of The Dope
of 1908" and responded: We have a line
on Stewart as we'll as Chech."
St. Paul is likely to win the American
Association flag this year, and it might
not do the Reds any harm to corral a
couple of SANITY bread-winners. Presi-
dent HERMANN is getting to be an artful
dodger. He sidesteps all inquirers vino
ask him to show his hand. Beyond adj
hitting that Arthur Reagan and Jim
Molloy are in the Red net he resembles
that succulent creation the clam.
I'm going to let the guessers have

night

bilities will grow like a wart on an

4tvor, but that Corbett has an equal
enance of winning I will not gainsay-
4 think that today Fitzsimmons is yet
the most skillful boxer of the world,
that Corbett is the quickest and that
Jenrles is the strongest; but 1 think
that F1tzsimmons still has the greatest
punch of all three. He is the most
wonderful fighter in the history of the
prize ring
see that Corbett compares his
coming fight to his encounter some
years ago with Sullivan, but the cases
seem scarcely analogous in view OF the
fact that Jeffries Is now in the prime
OF ms nghting career, whereas sullivan
had long since fought his best fights
when he met defeat at the hands OF

manner he did on Sullivan"

THINKS WELL OF coRBETT.
Philadelphia Sporting Man Discusses
Coming Bout.

Philadelphia, Aug. S.-A. ]. Drexel
Biddle, a well known society man of
this city, and an enthusiast on pugilis-
tic matters, has "sized up" the fighting
situation and has this to say on the
coming fight between Jeffries and Cor
bett:
There is not a doubt in my mind
but that the two greatest pugilists in
history who have fought in the heavy
weight class are Fitzsimmons and Cor
bett. There have been larger, more
powerful and more rugged pugilists,
but these two men stand pre-eminent
as the past masters cf the squared
circle.
"A pugilist. like a contestant in any
other game, should be judged by his
skill, rather than by his brawn-I have
seen a featherweight knock out a 200
pound athlete because the latter was
a less skillful boxer.
I'm bygone days Jeffries was the
sparring partner for Corbett. 1 under
stand that Corbett employed Jeffries
because he was big and strong and
could take more punishment than
smaller man. In the fight of a few
years ago between Corbett and JEFF
fries at Coney Island, there was no
doubt that Corbett, as a boxer, was
the master of Jeffries. He was many
times IS fleet and adept. But the fact
remains that he was beaten.
while it is argued that Jeffries
should assume the aggressive in the
coming fight such tactics would seem
hardly advisable in view of Corbetts
agility. The less agile man fights best
on the defensive. The quick opponent
finds his principal and best openings
before the onslaught of a tardy agrees
so-.
THAT Fitzsimmons has been school
ing Jeffries argues well in the latters

HAVE STREET FIGHT.
Pugilists Fought Three Rounds When
Police Interfered.

New York. Aug S.-Young Critic and
Dave Sullivan, the 1ightweights. had a
fierce fight last night over a young wo-
man.
According to the police Critic got her
consent to escort her home Sullivan
was chagrined, and, it is alleged, made
an insulting remark about his success
full rival.
The young woman with Critic resent
ed the remark, and, turning to her es-
cort, said, Give it to him, Griff.''
In less than a minute the two pugilists
had DOTTED their coats and hats and
squared off. and without a word they
went at each other. A large crowd sur
rounded the men, each of which was
recognized and had his supporters, and
desperate fight was waged Three
rounds were fought before a policeman
arrived on the scene and arrested the
men. They were pretty badly beaten
up.
In court Critic and Sullivan had war
of words which the magistrate refereed.
There were more words than war, how
ever. They were discharged with lee

IN SPLENDID SHAPE.
Jeffries and Corbett Each Confident of
Victory Aug. IA.

San Francisco. Aug. S.-F'or the first
time since he has been in training
Champion Jeffries spared in public at
Hardin Springs last night He appear
ed at an entertainment given for the
benefit of a cripple and boxed three
rounds each with Fitzsimmons, Joe
Kennedy and Brother Jack. He appear
ed to be in splendid condition and ap-
parently quicker on his feet than for
merly.
r. Bishop, manager for Aurelio Her
rar, went to Alameda with Yank Ken
nedy and Sam Berger to see Corbett at
work The ex-champion boxed with Ber-
ger and wrestled with Kennedy and at
the conclusion of the bouts both pro-
nounced him to be in better condition
than ever before. Bishop stated that
he was firmly convinced that Corbett
would regain his former title.
