DRAWING THE LONG BOW
Exaggerated Statements About the
Concentration of
Wealth.

A Cleveland minister OK more than aver
age ability and prominence lately told his
congregation that over hale OF the wealth
OF the United States was believed to be in
the possession of about ] 900 persons II
was evident that he believed It himself,
and the effect OF the statement was CORE
spondingly heightened.
Contrast the facts with this VIVID guess,
so admirably calculated to breed bitter dis
content and make the social and business
conditions and the political outlook as black
as possible. At the lowest estimate the
total wealth OF the American people Is
over 10000, 100000. II may be $4,000. 900 =
0OO II 1000 persons owned more than half
OF the country. as the saying is, they would
possess more than $4,000. O0O.OOe which
means an average Of $50. 600 900 apiece. Now.
It happens that no one can name twenty

average required.
The twenty-five richest may possess
s., 500 10000 II Is an extreme estimate and
the truth is probably far below that sum.
| The next 975 certainly do not average
100000 apiece. Again the estimats is
stretched to the limit. Probably an aver
age of $500 900 would be nearer the truth
I At the outside IL is impossible to make a
sane computation OF the total wealth OF

peated and endorsed by the Cleveland min

A traveller who has just finished two

for few moments he surprised his hearers

BOXING IN NEW YORK.

.Matty Baldwin, the clever Boston fighter. easily knocked out Charlie Weihle in the second round of their bout. at the stag of the Summit A. C.. in East Thirteenth street. last night. Terry Young was scheduIed to go on with Baldwin in the star bout, but owing to the fact that Young has been engaged to meet Tommy Murphy in the inter-city tournament at Philadelphia. the managers of the tourney would not allow him to box with nnyone except lis sparring partners until after his meeting with Murphy.
 Johnny Mack, manager of the Sum- nit X. C., did not know of this restric- tion until last night, and then he hus- tied to find another member 10 take Young's place. The best athlete he could find who was willing to box with Baldwin was Weihle, who Is wrestler of reputation. but has never been her aided as a world-beater at the boxing game.
 Baldwin played with welhle in the first round. and because the audience was crying flake Baldwin ended the bout early in the second round with a right hook to the jaw.
 George McFadden and Al Greenwood met in the semi4final event. and during the three rounds of fighting McFadden made Greenwood look like a novice Greenwood insisted upon holding. but NcFadden felt like fighting. and in the mixes he put hard blows to Green woods body. At the end Greenwood was all in.
 Kid Allen went on with Jack Good ney. who has been putting all his op- ponprfs to sleep instde of the time limit. Allen wes too clever 10 be knocked out. however. and he made a good showing. The Kid WAS suffering from a bad leg. and this interfered ma terislly with his boxing.

orITTERs NOT WANTED.

Several communications have been received by the sporting writer asking why a match between Ed O'Connell of New Haven and Alex Swanson would not be a good sporting event. and the writer will answer by saying that 1t would not be good match. The req son for saying So Is this: In the match between Cnaki and Swanson. the latter wanted to quit. and no one knows this any better than the writer. for he was right there in the ring. when the gruel- ing was being given to Swanson. Sev- eral times he asked the referee to stop Cnaki from maltreating him. although those were not just the worsls he used. In the match between O'COnneIl aud Cnaki the latter quit dead cold Now if Cnaki used Swanson so hari that Swanson wanted to quit. and O'Connell made Cnaki quit. where would be the sense in matching O'ConneIl against Swanson. Just as likely as not Swan son would want to quit ten times quicker If O'ConneIl ever gave him the gruelIng he gave Kid Kehoe the other night. All fair minded sports will agree with the writer in this cOnten- ton. And the best reason of an is this one: John E. Kelly made Muldoon look like 30 cents when he was up here and then hack to New York hikes Mul- dooa and swanson. and there Muldoon throws Swanson twice In thirteen min utes. Is not that enough to queer swanson from taking psrt la any matches in this city;

Manager Durant of the new Water bury team is going to take steps to curb the appetite of Cy Voorhees,, who has been signed to pitch for Water bury this season. Tim Murnane says the Boston Americans lost the cham pionship last season from over-eating. The HolyOke Transcript says that Voorhees, spoiled his work in the box by eating too much before the game. The Waterbury management is going to have special lunch prepared at the Hotel Elton for Voorhees, and tlle big player will not be allowed to order for himself. If Waterbury does not get look-in for the pennant the man. agement might get up an eating con- test for players in the league and Voor- hees would probably take the beef steak pennant to Waterbury.-Hart- ford Courant.

Director Fred Winkler re- turned yesterday from visit to Me Cormick at the players home in Jersey City and the signed contract tells the story of the trip.
 George Schrieber, young infelder with experience on the fast semi-pro- fessional teams in and around Jersey City, has been signed upon McCor- mick's recommendation. Schrieber has played with the Hoboken and Bayonne clubs and in addition to being of the usual fleet. nature, has considerably more than the ordinary batting ability.
 The return of Mccormick will un- doubtedly be welcomed by the fans. When the Kid fitted away last season in huff there were rumors of a place for him in some outlaw organization. During the winter Mac has been mum. so far as Holyokers were concerned, regarding his plans. The visit of Di- rector Winkler was planned with the idea of finding just how Mccormick felt.
