MISS DE TELLS
OF GAY MANILA.
BourIee Cockran's Fisncec says ITS n
CirI's Paradise,


Miss Anna Ide. daughter OF Judge Ide
the retiring governor general of the Phil
ippines, was interviewed In Chicago the
other day.
THE only strong minded women in Ma
nile," said Miss Ide. ARE some OF thu
upper class Filipino women. They have
clubs and talk of rights and privileges and
go into politics and affairs OF state. But
the American women are too busy having
q good time TO bother about clubs OF any
Kind.
"Al the older women play bridge, but
the girls In Manila haven't time for that.
They have too many other things to do to
enjoy bridge. Manila Is paradise for
girls.
Manila Is gay and giddy. Every one
there has the native spirit Of irresponsi-
billty and there is nothing TO live for but
enjoyment. Manila Is by no means
exile. It's a pleasure, dances all the time
and every sort OF party except an ice
carnival. There are the army set and the
navy set and the official set and all the
government representatives., and the CIV
Hans whose business brings them to Ma
Mia There are representatives Of nearly
every nation There are cliques, but in
general there is no line drawn. Every ons
knows every one.
The upper class Filipnos mix in with
! the foreigners 10 some extent. but they are
droadfully formal. They never give nor
attena informal affairs. They would not
know how to behave at them. You see
the upper class Filipino Is In every Gus.
tom and tradition a Spaniard. and the
Spaniard is the most formal person IN the
world

indeed, more gayly than the women of an
American city. They wear great deal OF

that the town is not behind the fashions

Nearly every one wears white on &C.

Chinese servants We want. and there isn't
ever any need 70 worry. But then worry
isn't in the atmosphere out there. To-
morrow is always better than to-day"

Kings Daughter won the Coney Island

gible together with Ormondale, Bohemian
and Sir Huon, among others. AS five of
the six met in the Advance stakes at

PUGlLlSM TO BE REVIVED
IN SAN FRANCISCO

SAN FRANCISCO. July Am oasis
has finally appeared on the pusilistic desert
In the person of Harry Leap. who is be-
hind one of the newest amateur boxing
clubs. There win be some of the finest
amateur scraps ever pulled OF In the good
old town of San Francisco on the afternoon
of Independence day. Leap has secured the
consent OF the mayor and the board Of
supervisors to resume the game of asti-
cuffs in this city. He has the nucleus for
a crackerjack card In Lew Powell and
Willie Wolff, the two scientific light
weights, who have made such excellent rec
ords in the four-round division of the box
ing game. These two old-tine rivals will
meet in the windup. which Is sufficient OF
itself to draw a capacity house.
Inasmuch as 1t will be in the neighbor-
hood of three months since the last fights
were held In the city, the followers of the
boxing game are more than anxious to have
the sport resumed. AS the contests will
be held In the open air and on the nations
most popular holiday. it is safe to predict
that one of the largest crowds that has
ever attended an amateur boxing show
will be on deck to- see the first pair OF
mittoIogists swing gloves On the afternoon
OF July 4.

cLAN-NA-GAEL SEES
FlANAGAN'S THROW

NEW YORK. July John Flanagan. the
big Irish-American Athletic Club weight
thrower. yesterday made a remarkable
throw OF the fifty-six-pound weight at the
Clan-na-Gael games at Celtic Park beating
the worlds record by almost a foot His
throw was 80 feet inches. The present
worlds record. held by Flanagan himself,
is 50 feet III inches.
This performance was accomplished in
the course Of an exhibition by Flanagan
and Tom Kelly. the Irish champion weight
thrower. The crowd of over 10000 people
who attended the games had nearly yelled
themselves hoarse while Flanagan was
throwing the hammer and while Martin J.
Sheridan was describing parabolic curves
with his pet missile. the discus.
Seeing that the crowd liked these events
the management of the Clan asked Flana-
gan to give few exhibition twirls of the
ffty-six-pound ball, American style He
agreed and Kelly volunteered to demon
strate the Irish style. This was one case
where the American beat the Irish. kiely's
best throw was "a feet and Flanagan was
over five feet better. The mark of 80 feet
inches Will not stand as a record because
under A. A. U. rules it would have to be
done in competition.
Flanagan's throw was all the more won
derful because he made II after having done
some tall work In the 16-pound hammer
throw. Starting from scratch. he took first
with 164 feet 10 inches.
The best of the running events of the
afternoon was the three-mile scratch event
This was won by Harvey w. Cohn, The
game little distance runner of the Ameri-
can Olympic team. 1t was his first APP
pearance ON the track since his return from
Greece. and the boy had no idea that be
