ZUBRICK TO FIGHT TRACEY
Clever WeIter Battler Meets Northern
scrapper at WeIter Weights
Next Week

Warren Zubrick writes to The Herald
from Portland that he is matched to
box twenty rounds with Tommy Tracey
at Vancouver December 8 and is in
training for the battle.
Zubrick says that Jimmy Hutch, who
came to Los Angeles from Buffalo 10 as
sst in training Eddie Hanlon for his
battle with Herrera, is with him and
has been matched in a preliminary.
Tracey and Zubrick will meet at 144
pounds and in his letter ZubricK eX-
presses satisfaction at getting on at
his real fighting weight AMI says that
he has sworn off going up against mid
dleweights, light weights, heavy
weights, switch engines and cyclones.
In future he will not accept match
with any one at more than l4o pounds,
and he believes he can win from any of
them at this weight. This bit of infor-
nation is accepted by admirers of the
fighting dentist as good news, as Zu-
brick has been warned upon numerous
occasions against going out of his class
to get a fight.
The battle with German demonstrat-
ed that Zubrick was treading on
dangerous ground in cOnceding weight
to his opponents. German was as
awkward as a steer in the ring, but his
rushes were annihilating to anybody Or
tnlnB ne pulleu up against ana Iile
steam behind his blows was generally
at popping off point.
Zubrick relates the story of his bat
tie with German in a humorous vein.
saying that every time he landed on
German with full strength he was the
victim of a boomerang and incidentally
knockd himself down.
The cut over his eye. he says, was in
hicted by Gorman's head when the Kid
butted him in the second round of their
fight. He asserts that he was dazed
from the effects of the Injury and blood
streaming into his eye until the eighth
round.
Zubrick will return south after the
fight. unless he gets on another match
in the north. and is conditionally
matched to fight Frank Fields, who
was awarded the decision over Sam Nc
Clure at San Diego recently.

e. Walsh. rode both winners and also
holds the record for wining mounts in
one day thus far. Another Williams
entry, Alencon, was favorite in the
second race and was beaten by the
good thing, AlsonO.
c. A. Ross of ST. Louis has arrived
with a strong string, which will be
campaigned at Ascot throughout the
season. The stable entry. Pyrrho, was
scratched out of the fifth race yester-
day because koss did not care to risk
the good gelding in a field of sixteen,
Eastern horses showed in fine form
yesterday and dispelled the illusion
that the cross-country trip necessa-
riy affected the running ability of
the bangtails. The climatic conditions
in this portion Of the world more than
overbalances any i'll effects of the
journey.
Jockey Preston, who rode Lotta Glad
stone on her wild dash yesterday, is
regarded as one of the most promising
lightweights on the coast j. f. New
man & Son have the contract for his
services and consider him a valuable
asset in their business. He has been
riding in the money regularly and can
do as light weight as any boy In the
country.

Eddie Hanlon and Kid Herman met
Manager Tom McCarey of the Pacific
Athletic club last night and agreed
upon all the conditions for their bat
tie December Is, and signed articles
and posted $500 forfeits for making
weight and appearing in the ring.
They will box twenty rounds at 1873
pounds, weigh in at o'clock on the
day of the battle.
Kid Herman, whose real name is
Herman Landfield, is regarded as one
of the cleverest boys in his class in
training, and has defeated some of
the topnotchers In the lightweight di-
vision.
Herman's best fights have been over
distance, and all his defeats, with
one exception, have ben sustained in
limited round affairs of less than ten
rounds.
The sensation of a knockout is un-
known to him, and he has battled with
such clever boxers as Abe Attell,
Austin Rice. Kid Abel. Charles Neary,
Tommy Mowatt, Benny Yanger, Joe
Bernstein and Jack O'Keefe.
Herman fought Abe Attell to a mo
decision" result in Chicago last year,
knocked out Clarence Forbes in six
rounds at Kansas City, won from Jack
McClelland in twenty rounds at KAN
sas City, won from Kid Abel in twen-
ty rounds at Kansas City, lost to
Charlie Neary twice at Milwaukee in
1903 in six and four-round bouts, lost
to Tommy Sullivan In twenty rounds
in 1903, lost to Benny Yanger in six
rounds in 1902, won from Tommy Mo-
watt in six rounds and fought six
round draws with Jack Okeefe and
Joe Bernstein in 1902.
In 1903 and 1904 he fought nineteen
battles, losing three. He won seven
on knock outs, won on a foul once,
fought one mo decision" battle and
drew with four.
His best showings have been made
in the past two years and he has
forged to the fore rapidly by his show
ings against topnotchers throughout
the country.
1t is McCarey's intention to close ne
gotiationS for match between Aurelio
Herrera and Young Corbett for De-
cember 30, matching the winner with
the winner of the Hanlon- Herman bat
tie early in January.
Young Corbett has asked McCarey
to match him with Herrera or Han
Ion for this month and Herrera has
accepted the proposition of McCarey,
Young Corbett has been notified by
telegraph of the proposed match and
conditions and is expected to make
favorable reply by telegraph today.
1t is Young Corbetts intention to
start for California within a week and
if the terms offered by McCarey are
agreeable to the former champion, he
will come direct to Los Angeles and
go into training at once
Herman will train at the pavilion
for the battle with Hanlon and Eddie
will prep at his former quarters at
Santa Monica. Training quarters will
be established today and the little bat
tiers will get down to hard work at
once.

tain, father of Jockey Fountain, made
killing on Boloman in the second race
at Oakland today
Boloman is youngster by David
Tenny and started for the first time
at this meeting today. His spring form

so to 1 against him.
Boloman took the lead early and just
lasted long enough to beat Nealon a
head. Rey del Mundo, the favorite,
ran disappointedly.
Delagoa won for McCafferty In his
initial start here this season. Dargin
ran away from his field in the third
race and Profitable led from wire to

At its conclusion no decision was given
Johnson had undertaken to knock Jack
son out within twelve rounds or take
the smaller end of the purse. He failed
to do so, largely owing to Jacksons re-
markable ability to keep himself COW

The Public Schools.

There is a general demand among
speakers and writers on agricultural sub
jects, for the adoption of some system of
instruction in our country schools, that
shall include not only the elements, but
the practise of farming. This is a sensi-
BILE move, but it is already in practise in
many parts of Europe with great sue
cess, and an elaborate system of in
struction by travelling professors has
sprung up in some countries, based upon
the actual results so far, as well as the
possibilities of more careful and ex-
tended instruction.
"The above clipped from the Bristol
Herald shows conclusively that the fools
are not yet all dead says the editor of
the Poultney Journal. Teaching farm
ing in the schools is along side of the
other fads of cooking, crocheting and
their ilk. Immense idea. Imagine one
Of our'graded school teachers out in the
fields giving boys instructions in the
sublime art of catching potato bugs, OF
helping them in the intricacies of milk
ing kicking COW. The true and only
mission Of our common schools sup
ported by taxing the people as whole,
is to give our children a thorough edu
cation in the English branches, leaving
the frils to those who want them and
can obtain them at their own expense

Buys Another Granite Quarry.

Jones Bros. of Barre, who are cutting
the Soldiers monument for Middlebury,
have purchased a one-siXth interest in
the Barre White Granite company,
owners of what is known as the
Wheaton quarries In making this pur-
chase they acquire the interest of N. D.
Phelps in the property. This company
is constantly extending and increasing
its businss in Barre and is now replacing
at its shed a $50 foot air compressor
plant put in about year ago with a
1900 foot compressor plant. The com
pany is also talking of making another
extension to its sheds this season, though
this has not yet been fully decided upon.
The most notable piece of work now in
process of cutting at the plant at the
present time Is the large Governor Curtin
monument for Pennsylvania.

There Will be Rate Regulation

Congress is to be summoned in special
session about the middle of October,
1905, to pass legislation on the matter
of railroad regulation. There is much
that is uncertain regarding what will be
done, but some things are about as GER
tain as anything can be in mundane af-
fairs and it can do no harm to set them
down here says the Wall Street Jour
nal.
"First-There.wil be railroad legisla-
ton
"Second-The legislation that will be
passed will be comprehensive as to the
principle of federal control of the rail-
roads doing an interstate business.
"Third-If a bill as finally passed
should be improperly drastic or any
thing but fair to the railroad side of the
case, the President will veto it without
hesitation.
"Fourth-The men who will be APP
pointed to the commission or court that
may be created will be men whose abil-
ity and fairness will be questioned by no
one, and whose names will be guaran-
tee of good faith and discretion.
"Fifth-The Senate is now out of the
control of the forces represented by
Aldrch and those who are striving to
prevent all legislation. The danger is
lest La Toilette and his friends stampede
it in another direction.
"Sixth-All the leaders, House as we'll
as Senate, realize that the pressure of
public opinion is rising in the steam
gauge, and the policy of screwing down
the safety valve is recognized as ex-
tremely dangerous henceforth.
'Seventh-The effect of the Presi-
dents little differences with the Senate
over the treaty matters is considered
likely to be the strengthening of his
hands in any fight to choke off railroad
legislation in the Senate.
There is reason to believe that the
situation as described above is thorough.
ly understood by at least some of the
largest financial interests in Wall street
VINO now begin to realize that the fal
is likely to be stormy one with an extrs
session of Congress coinciding with the
crop money movement and an admins
tration backed by public opinion and
totally beyond their control. Some
people here have information that there
is an undercurrent of apprehension il
certain quarters of "high finance" and
that this spring and summer may SET
the putting of houses in order to meet
bad weather in the fall.
''This may well be true, for the one
thing that the thigh finance" really
fears is an uncomfortable public
opinion"-and such an opinion is appar
emily loose, not merely in federal, bu
also in state affairs"

Bringing Up Girls.

The Gazette of Emporia, Kansas has
the following editorial on this subject
that is worthy careful perusal by every
mother who has daughters:
Ibid you ever notice group of little
girls between the ages of IA to IS chat
tering away in corner? The next time
you sit near such group listen and
hear if about every tenth word is about
what che said" If it is you have found
some more of the "he said" girls, and
they are not the incest little girls in the
world. The che aid girls are likely TO
loiter down town after school too late to
help their mothers with the afternoon
work They are likely to wear little
better clothes than their fathers can
afford, so that the neighbors wonder
what their mothers can be thinking
about The che said" girls also too often
think more of the boys than of their
books, and frequently fail to get through
school. They are in for good time
and have nothing in their heads but
hairpins and twosteps.
Sometimes nature takes a girl out Of
the che said" family and makes a fine
woman of her, but generally she
gets to going out to parties and is de
veloped before her time, and either
marries and fades at 20, or hangs or
after all the other girls are married off
and takes generation after generation Of
young boys to raise by hand, and be
comes known as grandma" in thu
crowd.
"There is nothing so sweet as a simple
frank, open-hearted girl. But thu
boy-struck girl is an abomination
The whole matter rests with thu
girls mother. She can either bring VI
one of the che said" girls or she cal
have daughter to be proud Of"
