JABEz WHITE GIVES VIEWS ON
BOXING QUESTION FOR BEN
Eft OF YOUNG MEN
One of the Most Valuable of Arts
Sporting Gossip Picked Up
Here and There

| one man VINO has made more OF an
impression than the average British
fighter who has visited these shores is
| Jabez White, the English lightweight,
| who is now in San Francisco and who
| has been a conspicuous figure in
sporting circles since his arrival.
In a recent interview he expressed
| the oft-quoted opinion that fighting
| was not necessarily brutal, and that
it's benefits more than counteractei
| any evil effects it might have.
| Boxing" he said, sis one of the most
valuable of arts. Of course, it is use
full in fight; anyone knows that; but
| it is still more useful as a training for
| the character. Any man may have to
| defend himself on occasions, but
have noticed that those who know best
| how to do it are those who rarely need
| their knowledge. There is an air of
self-reliance about a man VINO can
put up a good fight when pushed to it,
with it than any blow he can strike.
In my ten years of experience I have
never needed my experience of fight
ing except when in the ring.
However, the purely pugnacious
side of boxing is less valuable to a
man than the psychological. Consid-
er for a moment the effects of teach
! ing boy to box we'll. Self-confidence,
poise, good humor, temperance, endu-
rance, good health are among the
qualities which he necessarily acquires.
The ability to strike a inard and well
directed blow is worth much, but the
ability to take such a blow without
wincing is worth far more. No matter
what a mans profession may be- he
has to take many hard knocks, and he
who is trained to receive severe physi-
cal blows with equanimity, is the man
who can hest receive blows with a
moral or financial nature and rally
from them unscathed.
THE good boxer must be good tenn
pered. If he loses his temper he is
gone. Therefore, in learning to fight
man gains the faculty of coming up
smiling after any kind of a blow, and
| this knowledge is of enormous value,
for if the man who strikes you, be his
| blow physical or moral, sees you bob
up serenely with smile on your face,
he thinks ne has not hurt you, and
this disconcerts him and gives you a
great advantage.
I'm sparring man must be agile on
his feet, nave his wits about him,
watch with keen eyes and keep his
brain clear and cool, to form instan-
taneous judgment as to his opponents
weak places and perception of his
own. If a man can do this in the
prize ring, he can do it in business or
in the law court

Had a Derelict In Tow,

A naval officer one day noticed two
sailors in earnest confab. One Of them
was imparting information to his COM
panion of a very agreeable nature,
judging from his beaming countenance.
The officer in relating the incident
says the manner Of the speaker amused
him very much. AS he passed by the
man raised his voice, with the unmis-
taxable intention Of being overheard,
saying to his companion:
81 mean to give up this seafaring life
when my time is out. l am going to
marry a rich widow woman, the dere-
lict Of q butcher"

National League Season Opens.

NEW YORK, April 1.-THE famil-
lar cry of the umpire PLAY Ball" was
heard at the Polo grounds this after
noon for the first time this season. 1t
was the opening of the National
league season.. and a gala time it was
for the thousands of fans of Greater
New York The hoisting of the Ma
tional league pennant was greeted
with maddening cheers, for it was the
first time the coveted rag had been
seen in New York for Is years. There
was music galore and a spirit of en-
thusiasm prevailed among the play
ers as well as the spectators. At
O'Clock the champion Giants and the
Boston team appeared. The players
of both teams, arrayed in new uni
forms, executed the usual awkard
squad march from the club house to
the diamond. The old favorites and
new Corners were warmly greeted,
while a few good natured toasts were,
of course, handed out to the visitors
from the Massachusetts town.
Over in Brooklyn it was also an op-
ening day for the baseball enthusiasts.
There the home team faced the Phil
adelphia club for the initial game of
the season. The other opening dates
for the National league today are Chi
cago at st. Louis, and Pittsburg at
Cincinnati.

Louie Long Gets a Match

Louie Long mas signed to fight Jack
Marysville, Cal, on April %. The
boys are to fight at 1873 pounds and the
bout will doubtless attract a good
house, as both Long and Cordell are
we'll liked in the California town. Long
is said to have admirers who believe
he can best Cordell, providing he is
in condition, and Louie is quoted as
saying that he will surely be in the
will nave to win this fight in order to
get other matches

In the west. The articles call for a
20 round go at 1913 pounds. 1t is the
first time a 20 round contest has ever
been arranged for Kalamazoo, and in
cidentally should settle the question
OF supremacy between the two little
fellows beyond all question. It will
be the fifth melting of the pair, Yanger
winning the first time and the other
three contests being draws of six
rounds each.

TWO GAMES ARE SCHEDULED
WITH DAYToN'S FAST BASE
BALL TEAM
McGuclen Will Do the Twirllng Sun
day-"Dago" Fisher Is in the
Game Again.

The Walla Walia Fruit Pickers"
will go up against the Barley Grow
ers" for two games of ball. The first
will be played on the Walla Walla
grounds Saturday afternoon, and the
second at the same place Sunday af-
ternoon. The Dayton team is said to
be one of the fastest that city has
ever put in the field and two interest
ing contests may be looked for. The
Fruit Pickers are in the best of condi-
ton and with the addition of McGuc-
ken and Fisher, Manager O'Connor
believes that he has bunch Of fast
ones that none of the teams in the In
land Empire can beat. The pitching
staff of the Fruit Pickers is now COM
posed of Parkes, Aubin and McGuc-
ken, three of the best twirlers that ever
toed the slab on a Walla Walla ball

hard for the past two weeks and ne

it was in the days of the Inland En-
pire league He has speed and he

was noted for being a heady pitcher,
and his friends are looking for him
to do some excellent work this year.
'Dago" Fisher is playing the ground
around the third bag with the same old
vim, and it will take a pretty swift
one to get by him. He is noted for
cutting off many nits that looked like
safe ones, and the fans who nave seen
him work out claim that he is in bet
ter form this year than ever before.
Fisher has a good eye this year, and
ne will probably make some of the
twirlers pitch their heads off to keep
him from hitting the ball for the safe
ones.
Aubn will do the box work for the
Fruit Pickers in the Saturday game,
and McGucken will speed them over
in the Sunday contest.
1t is expected that large crowd of
fans from Dayton will come to Walla
Walla for the Sunday game, and if
the weather is good the grounds will
undoubtedly be crowded.

Arabian horses show remarkable
courage in battle. 1t is said that when
horse of his breed finds himself
wounded and knows instinctively that
he will not be able to carry his rider
much longer he quickly retires, bear

while he has yet sufficient strength.
But if, on the other hand. the rider is

Pepys' Furnace.

An electric resistance furnace was
used by Pepys in 1915 for the cementa-
ton Of iron. He took piece OF pure
soft iron and cut slit along its length
The slit was filled with diamond DUST
which was prevented from falling OUT
by fine iron wire. The portion OF the
wire containing the dust was wrapped
in mica. The wire thus charged was
heated quickly to redness by the cur
rent from a battery. On opening the
wire Pepys found that the diamond
dust had disappeared and that around
where it had been the wire had been
converted to steel.-London Engineer.

the murder Of Cannon was farce.
Coroner E. H. Marcum, who was present
and who is a physician Of high stand

how the Investigation could have been
more rigid or searching. Twenty seven
witnesses were examined, about half of
them from Spooner and half from Bear-
dette, and the questions of the county
attorney covered every feature of the
murder. If Governor johnson himself
had conducted the investigation it could
not have been more thoro.'
There is a disposition here to with
hold judgment until the charges
against Mr.. Loud and other county Off
Gals can be fully investigated.
