But it takes an expert who has had
years of study on the anatomy of the
eye and reflection of light to give
PERFECT SIGHT and at the same
time relieve all strain from the nerves
and muscles of the eyes. In the seven
months 1 have been in Savannah I
have tested and fitted glasses to over
1000 people, over half of which was
wearing glasses that did not fit. and
great many with second and third
quality lenses. Does this speak we'll

1t was expected that there would be
frauds in connection with the scheme
of irrigating the arid lands of the

PRIVATE FISHING PONDS.

A bill was introduced into the Leg
islature of New York a few days ago
that will prove an obstacle to the es-
Establishment of private fishing pre-
serves in that state. The bill provides
that no one shall be prevented from
fishing in any of the streams of the
state which have at any time been
prevents lands from being inclosed for
game preserves in which there are
streams which have been stocked with
fish by the state.
1t is probable that the introduction
of this bill was suggested by the ac-
ton of Mr.. william Rockefeller, who
owns more than two townships of land
in the Adirondacks, and who, some
months ago, had a man arrested for
fishing in the streams flowing through
this land. The case was dismissed on
the ground that the streams in ques-
ton had been stocked with fish by the
state, and hence Mr.. Rockefeller could
not claim property in the fish: neither
could he make out a case for tres
pass, because he has no right to pre-
vent citizens from catching the fish
or for crossing his land for the pur-
pose of reaching the streams.
1t looks as II the sportsmen of, the
North would have to come South to
establish game preserves. No such
troublesome laws interfere with the
establishment of game preserves in
this section. But, doubtless. there will
be such laws when the Southern coun-
try becomes as thickly settled as New
York and has as many millionaires to
the square mile.

Under the Pennsylvania ballot law,
the ignorant voter is permitted to take
an assistant into the voting booth
the ballot. 1t is this provision of the
law that enables the party in power
to keep track of its venal voters and see
that they deliver the goods" The
assistant who goes into the booth
with the voter is always a worker for
the dominant party. There is a bill
pending in the Legislature for the re-
peal of that feature of the law. But
nobody expects it to be passed. 1t is
too useful an expedient to be parted
with by the Repu blican machine.

Race-The Summary.

Shortridge High Schools track team took
Westfield by storm yesterday and won the
meet with the high school of that place
by 76 TO 30 points. The outcome was some
what unexpected and the showing Of the
indianapolis men was exceedingly crafty
ing to Capt. Walter Gipe and Manager
LYNN b. McMullen. Although some OF the
records were not sensational the showing
this early in the season was good. The
meet was arranged for the purpose OF Civ
ing the green men Of the Snortridge school
experience However, the Westfield team
was outclassed and did not even have
look-in at any time.
The feature of the meet was the work OF
Russell Joseph, who won 10 points for
Shortridge A funny incident Of the day
was the relay race. Arrangements had
been made to take a team for a relay, but
IL seems that the westfield athletes were
not anxious to pull of this event. The In
dianapolis boys wanted the practice and
offered to run four men 10 Westfelds eight
on a ouarter-mile track which would al
low the Westfield team to change men
every lap. This was done. and the s. II. s.
boys-shank, Mckee. Patton and Michael

FIGHT FOR RING HON0RS
LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE TO BE
DECIDED AT DETROIT.
Mccoy and Root Will Contest for
ChampiOnship-COrbe and Nc
Govern May Meet i'm June.

The light heavyweight championship will
be decided before the Metropolitan Ath-
letic Club at Detroit next Wednesday night,
when Kid Mccoy and Jack Root meet in a
ten-round bout for that title and S. per
cent. of so per cent. of the gross receipts.
The match is an important one for both
men. Root has met hard men during his
career, but has never quite squared off
with fellow the equal of Mccoy in crafti-
ness and cool cunning. unless it was Tom
my Ryan. Mccoy has done nothing since
his winning over Jack Mccormick. In that
battle Mccoy hit Mccormick SO hard and
often that he knuckied his hands out of
shape, and 1t has taken him ever since to
get them back into serviceable and useful
shape.
Jack Root has fought sixty-one battles
since he became professional boxer. One
lone lost decision, and one draw, are the
only things to offset fifty-nine victories.
Root lest a decision to George Gardner,
after breaking his left hand in the second
round and fighting on until the bout was
stopped in the seventeenth round. Prior to
this Root had met and sent Gardner out of
the ring in seven rounds. In the Ryan fight
Roots only drawn battle-the Chicago
man gave as good as was sent in the six
rounds. 1t will be seen that Mccoy has a
very hard man to whip to come out vic
terious in the Wednesday night battle.
No matter who wins, the battle will open
up a new field of endeavor for men who are
a bit too heavy for the middleweight class
and Rot too light for the heavyweight di-
vision. 1t will be good thing in this re-
spect, since there is no good reason for
pitting a man weighing l65 pounds or less
against c00-pounder. 1t is class which
should have been esta blished long ago. A
man at $50 or so pounds is quite big enough
to cope with man weighing Us, but the
disparity is too pronounced beyond that
limit.
Root has been in training at Chicago with
Johnny Hogan and Martin Duffy. He is
now down TO about leo pounds, but will
weigh about 167 when he enters the ring
Mccoy is training at Billy Muldoon's farm
at White Plains, n. Y, and under the per-
sonal eye and instructions of the ex-cham-
