Lincoln and Lew Wallace.

Among the thousands of fascinating
recollections of the career of the author
TO "Ben Hur,' which are told in his auto
biography, published by the Harpers, is
description of one of the great Lincoln
and Douglas debates Wallace went to
the debate strongly prepossessed in favor
of Douglas, but the magic of Lincoln's ora
tory completely altered his view.
presently there was a commotion in
the crowd, and a general looking that
way and Mr.. Lincoln mounted the steps.
He paused on the platform, and took
look over the crowd and into the counte-
nances near by, and there was a smile on
his lips and a whole world of kindness in
his eyes. The thin neck GRAINED out
over his sweat-wilted shirt collar while
he bowed to acquaintance. Mr.. Doug

of them, however, was palpitating with
an anxiety too great for noise. so, fan

nignant eyes, a more unattractive man |
had never seen thus the center of regard

said that the religious conditions in
an advance movement on the part of the
churches. Twenty millions of people
are entirely outside all the churches:
Roman Catholic, Jewish and Protestant.
Mr.. Shelton said there is special reason
for Congregationalists to arouse them
selves, owing to the fact that over 1000
Congregational churches last year did
not report single addition to their
membership on confession of their faith.
He said that there are four needy from
tiers today, urgent and pressing in the
opportunity they afford for Chris tian in
iative These are, the frontiers of New
England, where fifty per cent of the
population has become foreign; the
frontiers in great cities, where there are
now fifty per cent fewer Protestant
churches than there were fifty years ago
in proportion to the populations and the
frontiers in the vast western country,
where the population is rapidly increas-
ing. Mr.. Shelton said there are now
sixty three specifically designated points
where new work among foreigners ought
to be undertaken by the Congregational
Home Missionary society and ninety
other definite opportunities for founding
Congregational churches in great cities.
Mr.. Shelton urged on his hearers the
fact that they are called to meet these
magnificent opportunities. He said an
average gift from each Congregational
church in Vermont of one dollar per res
ident member would enable the State
and National Home Missionary societies
to make an important and necessary
advance.

Tommy Ryan, claimant Of the mid
dleweisht championship of the world.
last night telegraphed his acceptance
of the challenge issued to him by
Tommy Burns through The Herald
Tuesday night and stipulated that the
battle be for the midd, weight cham
pionship.
The acceptance came i'm the above
telegram from ]. Curley, who is repre-
senting Ryan and Marvin Hart and is
accompanying them on their trip to the
coast. They are now in Butte. Mont.
Manager Tom McCarey of the Pacific
Athletic club could not be seen last
night, but IL is known that Ryan has
sought matches before he local club
for several months and had asked to be
matched with Burns before the latter
was defeated by Jack Twin Sullivan.
McCarey will doubtless make a prop
osition TO the battlers for staging the
bout and it is deemed a certainty that
this will be the February attraction
Burns posted $1,000 with The Herald
as a guarantee of good faith in issuing
the challenge, stipulating that this sum
should bind him to the terms of agree
ment between him and Ryan should the
latter accept the challenge
When informed last night of the ac-
ceptance, Burns was a happy man and
asserted that his ambitions to become
the middleweight champion We're about
to be realized.
Burns declares that he will post a
side bet with Ryan and train zealously
for the battle, that he may be In the
best condition Of his life and will enter
the ring prepared to put up the best
battle of his career.
Ryan is one of the cleverest battlers
in training, and when these two meet
it will be a championship affair in all
respects, and the contest will be of
great interest throughout the world
1t is believed that the preliminary
negotiations will be concluded today
and that Ryan, Hart and Curley will
come to Los Angeles at once
In the exchange of kilograms Tues
day night Curley authorized the sport
ing editor of The Herald to convey to
Jeffries a challenge from Hart for a
battle for the heavyweight champion
ship of the world, and if Jeffries per-
sisted in his retirement from the ring
extend the challenge broadcast to any
white man in the world.
Hart will accompany Ryan to Los
Angeles and it is probable that Nc
Carey will accommodate the technical
champion with a battle if any aspiring
heavyweight is to be found who will
tackle the job.

COMMENCE SPRING SPORTS
Basketball, Track and Baseball to oc-
cupy Attention of Colleeians
and Academies

Basketball, track and baseball are
the school and college sports that will
occupy the attention of the amateurs
until the close of the scholastic sea-
son. and although the colleges have
rot resumed classes, preparations are
progressing toward forming the repre-
sentative teams.
The local high school has material
that should bring forth Il winning Gin
der aggregation. and there exists IL
strong probability that the local
academies will win the scholastic meet,
which is always the important event of
the year for the high schools.
Grover Youngs is captain, and al
ready has his men on the field for the
preparatory meets which will de-
termine the personnel of the team.
Occidental college is preparing for
another banner season, and a wealth of
material is at hand to aid in the de-
velopment of what may be another
champion track team for the High
land Parkers.
ST. Vincents will probably devote
more energy to putting out strong
basketball team than endeavoring to
win at track.
The baseball season will find the
Catholic college to the fore with a
strong squad to fight for the positions.
Art Schaffer, formerly a st. Vincent
second baseman and last year MEM
Der of the Santa Clara nine, has re-
turned and will probably gain one of
the infield positions.
Wilson, who played first base for
The hign school team, may try for the
Nincentian aggregation. There is much
pitching material for development and
Fred SnOdgrass Will, according to
present arrangements, be at the re-
ceiYing end Snodgrass Is one of the
fastest hack stops in the city and to-
ward the latter part of the coast league
season participated in several games
with the Angel team.
II. S. G.. and Pomona college have
done some work in preparation for the
track season and viii settle to regular
training when the institutions reopen.
