on Saturday may be counted on to do
better tomorrow. He has weight off
and Saturdays race will undoubtedly
be of benefit to him. Lubin is not the
horse he was year ago, but the dis

liking than the route he has been
going of late. He has only an outside
chance, however, in the opinion of the
experts. Lisaro, with 106 pounds, may
be the surprise of the day. The Bald

races at sprinting distances and shows
an inclination to go route. With a

to victory at Emeryyille in the fourteen
days that he has been riding here than
have any of the other jockeys in the
thirty-one days that the meeting has
run. While Millers record for the past
week was not as good as during the
previous week his feat of riding seven
winners put him at the head of the list
of winning jockeys. None of his rivals
for the honor succeeded in landing more
than four winners during the week L.
Williams is his closest rival and is but

NEVADA PROMOTER
LAYS CLAIM TO
BIC MATCH
BY r. a. Srnytta

A dispatch from Tonopah conveyed
the information last night that Cham
pion Jim AJeffries and Bill Squires. the
Australish fighter. had been matched
for the worlds championship. the
meeting to take place April 1 at Rhyo-
lite. New. The news came in a round
about way. as II was obtained by Kid
Herman while he was paying visit
yesterday to Goldfield- Upon his return
to his training quarters at Tonopah he
repeated the story he had heard in the
other mining camp. 1t was originally
given out by Manager Taylor Of the
club at Rhyolite.
In Los Angeles. the home Of Jeffries.
nothing Is known of the match and no
credence is placed in the report. Jack
Johnson said that he has been assured
of a match with Squires In sydney IN
February. and that he will sail on the
next steamer for the antlpodes IL not
stopped by cable instructions from the
other side.
The general impression among sport
ing men Is that Squires should be
given a tryout with some one OF the
leading heavyweights before he is pit
ted against the mighty Jeffries. If he
was matched with the latter first and
made poor showing In training It
would have tendency to kill of all
! interest In the match. On the other
meet
any one or the prominent men In his
class and should score a clever victory.
1t would at once make a match with
Jeffries great drawing card. In view
OF the fact that Cans and Nelson drew
a $4,000 gate at Goldheld 1t is possible
the heavyweights would bring returns
of more than 100000 to the promoter
SO fortunate as to match them.
Kid Herman Ia rviuc his frofpfro
by frequent excursions to the mining
camps in the vicinity of Tonopah- He
has been working 50 hard that his
handlers find it advisable to give him
an occasional letup TO prevent his be-
coming overtrained for his coming
fight with Cans. The latter will have
harder time making the required
weight than his opponent and must
work harder than the latter. This
means that the colored champion will
be trained to the hour when he steps
into the ring on New Years day to de-
fend his title He is a conscientious
worker. and with all that he has at
stake this time he will be fit to fight
for mis- life.
Cyclone Thompson, who will take
Jimmy Britt's place in the bout with
Willie Fitzerald at Dreamland Pavilion
on Friday night. is due here tomorrow
morning He will go at once to Shan
mons training quarters near San Rafael
70 continue his work for the bout.
Thompson has been in training at Og-
den for fight with a namesaxe and
the trip out here will not upset his
condition to any extent. He will be
better off than Fitzgerald. who has had
severe trip across the continent
Fitzgerald has settled down again to
training at Larkspur and will do a lot
of road work for the next few days.
He has been accustomed to lighting at
short notice for years. so the present
situation is not new to him.

TAKE NO SUBSTITUTE.
DIVORCE NOT AN EVIL.

So much has been said about
"the divorce evil" that it is time
to begin teaching the world that
divorces themselves are not evil,
but a great good, one that puts an
end to an evil, frees human be-
ing from cruelty and humiliation
that is possible only in marital
bonds. The divorce is a mark Of
progress, especially for women, and
while we must deplore the neces-
sity that drives the woman to the
divorce court, the right minded per-
son must still rejoice that escape
from bondage to freedom is pos
sible.
Now, women are instinctively
home makers and home lovers. The
average woman would be a sweet
heart wife all her days, If she were
permitted so to be, and would en-
dure much, and suffer silently, ra-
Their than seek a separation. And
so, when 80 per cent of the appli-
cants for divorce are women, it be-
hooves us to ask: What's the mat.
ter with the menu
Judge Alfred F. Sears Jr. of the
circuit court of Portland, Ore, AN
swers that question by saying:
"The average man has a low stand
ard of morality, and feels that none
of the responsibility of making a
happy home falls upon him" z
Those who have studied the WHY
in individual cases will readily
agree with him.
Few men feel obliged to control
an ugly temper, but the wife must
control hers. She is ashamed to
do otherwise. She must be ever
ready with the soft answer that
turneth away wrath, and by her
tact protect the family from violent
explosions over trifes. But what
man feels obliged to do all this for
his wife? A few, but very few,
comparatively.
Naturally the next question that
arises is: Why do men marry IL
they have no higher ideals of home
life? With one accord men answer:
For selfish reasons.
Bed and food are cheaper under
one roof; children are deplorable
accidents to many men, and father
love is not instructive as is mother
love; though some men may be-
come fond of children, while others
never do.

Thousands Of grateful men and

cific. Statements of residents OF
