World Of Sport

AS predicted by The Press, the
altitude at Butte was the undoing
of the Spokane high school team
in its game in the smelter city. A
difference in altitude of 1000 feet
will work the undoing of any heart
and pair Of lungs.
The players and coach, upon
their return yesterday, were loud
in their plants about short wind
and other untoward conditions. 1t
is a great mistake for any Goa CHI
to play his team under such dis
advantages. 1t is an absolute in
justice to the men physically. The
many injuries among the return
ing men is proof of this fact Any
old football war horse will tell you
that men are seldom seriously in
jured until they are thoroughly
winded and tired out. High alti-
tudes produce these conditions
quickly and the injuries are sure
to follow. A broken collar bone
and two men with wrenched ten
dons are too much for one game.

Jack Kerns, who was hurt in his
recent fight with Parker, is going

about 10 pupils. A hall has not

things will be going soon.

ways with men smaller than my
self, as it enables one to become
quick in his movements. A smaller
and lighter man than yourself
keeps you busy warding off blows
and you have to move around much
faster.
A great deal of my quickness has
come from boxing with smaller
men and I have frequent bouts with
bantamweights.
Regarding diet, I eat everything
in the line of vegetables and meat
and consider tea and coffee as ex-
cellent, but | taboo pastry.
1t is my belief that in every bout
| learn something new and do not
consider that so often as | have
boxed is harmful Extreme caution
with the use of the hands is most
essential-that is, to be accurate
with your punches, and not land
them on your opponents head or
any spot where you are apt to meet
with injury. l once received a
broken knuckle through my eager
ness to put out an opponent. l
piled my punches onto Weing dur
ing the last two rounds of the bat
tie, but it was the blow on his
chin that sent him down and out
and cracked my knuckle.

ponent of Marquis of Queensbury

There are no physical dangers to
speak Of in boxing. if a man Is in
good physical condition and he
should never enter the ring unless
he is. The danger comes in leisure
moments. Then it is simply a ques-
ton of strength of mind and will
power to resist temptation. The
more famous a boxer becomes, Of
course, the greater the temptation
and the greater the amount of
courage 1t takes to resist.

BERLIN, Nov. 20.-Trade union
ism does not flourish in Germany.
Only few trades are systematic
ally organized. German working
men maintain that the centraliza-
ton of industry gives organized
capital such tremendous power that
labor organizations can not possib-
ly fight them.
The recent coal strike in the
Rhenish provinces is cited as a
proof of this contention. In that
struggle 100000 GOLFERS, after a
bitter struggle involving intense
suffering, were compelled to sur
render to a combination of mine
owners controlled by three capital
lists.
Strikes have strengthened polit-
ical social democrocy( whose nu-
merical strength in Germany is
causing alarm to the government.

(Scrfpps News Association.)
NEW YORK, Nov. 90 The
opening performance OF the season
at the Metropolitan Opera House
this evening promises to be the
most brilliant event of the season.
Mr.. Conried, the director of the
opera has selected Goldmark's
grand opera Queen of Sheba" for
the opening night. The opera will
be sung in German and the cast
will include Nine. Nordica, Miss
Walker, Van Rooy and Miss Alien.
The staging, to which Mr.. Conried
paved particular attention, will be
on the most magnificent scale.
One thousand, two hundred and
fifty-four new costumes, designed
by a famous German artist were
made in Vienna for this perform
ance.

At the general election two years
ago the social democrats polled
100000 votes throughout the EN-.
pire, which gave them an aggre-
gate majority of 100000 more
votes than any other party. In the
reichstag they have solid phalanx
of nearly 100 deputies, or one
fourth of the whole number of
members. Political social demo-
