still tells this story with gusto.
The fighters enter upon the last week
of their training to-day. From appear
ances the men will have to do only
enough work this week to keep the edge
on their condition.
A large delegation of sporting men
visited Billy Shannon's villa yesterday
to watch Joe Cans work for his coming
battle. Many colored men were among
those present.
The gymnasium where Joe is pre-
pairing for the championship fight is
rather small and Al Herford had to
exclude everybody but the newspaper
men and few friends while Joe went
through his usual stunts. When the
time came for him to box the doors
were thrown open and everybody was
admitted. Joe went four fast rounds
with Jimmie Hayward, colored boxer
from the East. The champions con-
dition greatly pleased his admirers.
In the morning Joe did his usual
fourteen miles on the road and returned
as fresh as daisy. An hours hard
work in the gymnasium in the after
noon constituted his days work.
Cans is in excellent condition and
his weight still hovers between 1s4
and 1876 pounds.
The sale of seats will open tomorrow
at Harry Corbett's. From appearances
the house will be the largest ever at
tracted by lightweight boxers on this
Coast.

slight advantage through the to 0
contest.
The features of the days play were
the plunges through the line of the
Company H backs, and several clever
punts by the men behind the line for
La Union. Two field goals were tried,
one apiece for the contestants and
both were narrowly missed. But one
accident marred the day, julius Erl-
inghein being rendered temporarily

I'm Scoring


SAN MATEO, Oct. 23.-The lacrosse
team representing the San Mateo Ath-
letic Club was treated to an over
whelming defeat this afternoon by the
William Blackwell aggregation of San
Francisco, the score being 10 to 2.
The latter team was the strongest ever
brought to this city. Each player was
a veteran and in condition for hard
struggle. ]. C. Henry of the San
Francisco club suffered a fracture of
one of the bones of the left hand dur
ing the third period and had to retire
from the game. The visitors were
prevented from running up a much
larger score by the great defense work
of Gibson. The home team was out
of practice and showed lack of team
work. Following is the lineup of
the teams:

The Oldest Doll In America.

Holiday Magazine.
Long, long ago when William Penn
sailed from England on his second Wis
it to America, what do you think he
brought with him on the good ship
Canterbury? An English doll. This
passenger is the sole survivor OF that
voyage across the Atlantic, which wss
made over two hundred years ago.
William Penn had little daughter
named Letitia. Letitia beard her
father tell wonderful tales of what he
saw and heard in Pennsylvania on hi.
first visit to this country, thoueande of
miles distant from Letitia's home. He
often told her about little Miss r n
kin, who, living as che did in the Wild
erness OF Pennsylvania (for this was
long ago, remember), bad no toys at
all, not even one rag doll. Whom Le-
titias father was getting ready to again
cross the ocean to America his little
girl insisted upon sending a doll to
that lonesome little girl.
So a doll was dressed in a court
costume ct striped and delicately tinted
brocade and velvet. The skirt was
held out with enormous hoops, for
such was the fashion of the well-dress-
ed ladies' OF that period. The doll it.
self is twenty inches high and has the
long waist and slender form Of the
beauties she left in her native land.
Her hair Is rolled back from her face,
much the style OF today.
The doll row lives in Montgomery
county, Md, in the strictest seclusion.
She is only removed from her careful
wrappings when little gl:ls desire the
honor of making the acquaintance oi
the oldest doll in America.

The Natural Child.

N. c. Baptist.
Mr.. Davis w. Clark says very wisely
In his Sunday school comments: "The
ideal primary scholar OF the last gener-
alton was as motlonless and silent as
little carved image. Instead OF being
canonized, however, he onght to havs
been the subject Of pathological in
quest. For to insist that little child
rem shall sit demurely like old people
is physiologically wrong. The fact is
that the normal child is mostly little
animal. Development of the body is
his chief business. Instinct keeps him
in perpetual motion. One moment it
Is the vocal organs. He laughs, talks,
cries; the latter, though disagreeable le,
is thought to he more beneficial, es-
pecially to the lungs. The next mo-
ment he throws out his arms and legs
or he reaches and pulls, then follows a
bending and comforting Of the trunk.
All the while nature, his invisible
monitor, unconsciously to himself, is
taking him through a course in physi.
cal culture. The primary teacher who
does not take this physiological view
OF the case, but sees in it all only dis
order and disobedlence, ls to be sim
cerely pitied. There are expedients
furnished by the advanced methods OF
today by which reasonable degree OF
order and quiet can be secured with
out mention of the words, and certain
ly without upbra,ding of the scholars.
A gesture-song, an object lesson,
simple calisthenics, walk about the
room or through the hall, keeping
step to a marching song. II weather
permite. a complete change OF atmns-
phere, by going into the open and a
bit of nature study under shelter OF
some tree is good device. Singing Is
almost graceful relief. The child de-
lights in anything rhythmic in sound
or motion"
