Cross-country running among South
ern California athletes has durins tho
past few weeks created a favorablo
maiden impression, and judging from
the activity which is now taking place
there will soon exist as a regulation
sport one of the greatest factors in
physical development known where
athletes hold forth.
Occidental college has taken up the
cross-country pastime and in addition
TO the present enjoyment which Is

into the sport, and the man without

an event. English athletes, who are
noted for their great staying abilities
IN the open. nave for centuries par
ticipated in the cross-country affairs
OF recent years for eastern universi-
ties, colleges and outside clubs have
annually held their endurance contests
and gradually the sport has worked
it's way westward
There is no reason why cross-coun-
try running should not hold a. prom
lnent pace among the athletic phases
of Southern California school. club and
college life and every reason why It
should. Climatic environments are
ideal and limitation can be set for
no particular season.

south would prove an annual attrac-
tion without a peer and intense ex-

use every possible means of infusing
enthusiasm and they would reap BEN
efits hundred fold when football and
baseball season rolled around.
1t Is difficult in the short time for
preparation to develop necessary
stamina among football players who
have taken things easily for nine
months Of the year, and few cross
country runs with their attendant
training features would instill world
of strength and confidence.
1t is stated that practically every

GLASS MACHINES ARE JUNK
Jersey Plants, After Spending Much
Coin Experimenting, Quit the
Use of Machines
Special to The Herald.


MILLVILLE, N. j., Dec. 26.-After
having tried for several years to use
bottle blowing machinery in the place
of men as labor savers, the glass manu-
facturers now are almost unanimous
in the opinion that further experiment.
ing is useless. Many of the huge ma
chimes that were built at a heavy cost
by some of the most brilliant machin-
lists of the age now lie on junk piles to
be sold to the dealers in old iron for a
few dollars.
In the last three years Whitall Ia
tum company and the other large glass
manufacturers have spent thousands
of dollars in experimenting and trying
to find perfection in one of the iron
men.
The machine produces much more
ware than the man, but when the bot
tie comes under the critical eye of the
sorter gross upon gross of the machine
made bottles are discarded because of
defects.
One of the managers stated today:
'The glassblowing machine has never
been made that can compete with hu-
man labor, and the day of machine
labor will soon, as far as the bottle
blowing trade is concerned, be a thing
of the past"
At the appearance of so many new
machines last season great alarm was
generally felt among the blowers, but
one by one the machines were removed,
until today there are few left operating.
Not only in Millville have the ma
chimes been discarded, but in Bridge
ton, Vineland and the other glassblow-
ing centers of South Jersey.
In the big Whitney plant, at Glass
boro, all of the machines have been
removed, and blowers have filled their
places

MUD EATERS WILL
BEAT OUT AGAIN
BY IRVING b. CLEMENT

Mudders will have another inning
this afternoon, as the track will still
be- holding and heavy. Horsemen took
advantage of the going and entered
their mudlarks.
Phil Igoe, if he runs back to his last
race, will be the one they will have to
beat. He is unreliable and if he is a
price is worth a shot. Dulcinea also
likes the going and should have little
trouble to beat out Nappa. The latter
is very speedy, but when collared, as
a rule, quits. Treasure Seeker seems
to have gone back in training and runs
as though he might have had a tritie
too much of it.
Lydia Wrousman looks to have a
mortgage on the second race. In her
last race her saddle slipped and Nc
Daniel had all he could do to keep
from falling off her when she finished
third to such good ones as Line of Life
and I Told You. Bauble has never
shown anything over this distance of
ground, but she has lot Of speed and
should be second. Parvo and Van
Hope look best Of the balance of the
field.
Fifteen maidens. may face the bar
rier in the third race, the best of
which are Lisbia, Avontellus and Fro
Pyro. The latter should have won his
last race and will be tine one they will
AdNC " NeilNll NOhdJs IAloDlcl bllOull
beat out Avontellus for the place. She
had no chance at the start in her last
race.
If Mountebank is ever going to win
a race he will win the third event on
the card this afternoon. The weight
and track will suit him nicely and he
should romp home. Neatness looks
easily second best of this lot and has
only Buttons to beat for the third
money. The latter has been working
well and may run better race thar
expected.
Kirkheld looks to be in a soft spot
in the fifth race and II anything beats
her it will be Merrill The latter likes
the going, but runs better with less
weight up. Elancer will set a fast pace
and should last to show Charles L
Stone is a beaten favorite, so look out
for a price today. He belongs to q

Rivalry Exists Between the East and
the West Regarding Compare
tive Merits of Football
Players

A new phase has entered the football
situation and one that bids fair to
create no end of discussion among the
experts" Within the past few years
western football men have come to
a conclusion that they are not alto
gether shadowed by their eastern con-
temporaries and as result all Amer
lean football teams have been selected
with midle west players embodied.
Eastern dopesters are inclined tn
taboo such proceedings and a merry
word has arisen. Walter Camp, the
famous Yale coach, whose selections
have been generally accepted for many
seasons past Is fast falling into dis
repute in other than eastern football
circles because of his presidency In
overlooking any but the univeritles on
his immediate vicinity.
Camp. however, is a man who has
practically devoted his entire life to
football and should be given credit for
possessing more than ordinary
knowledge of the game and players
His selection OF first and second teams

Record Breaking Novelty.

Presented with . cast Of
brilliant excellence, enhanced by
beautiful scenery and stage
settings, an entertainments Of
rare good fun and surprise is
The Belle OF Japan which
comes to the opera house Oh
Sept. 2728. This novelty has
captured the rffete East and is
stirring the West with enthus.
iasm never before known in the
history Of comedy drama. It is
without doubt one of the most
talked about and popular as well
as the greatest laughing, singing
and dancing shows in the world,
and will doubtless duplicate the
success it has had elsewhere
when it is seen here. Quite q
number of theatre parties are
being gotten up for this attrac-
ton which promises to be the
theatrical treat of the season.
Seats are on sale at the City
drugstore.

HUGHES TO the FORE.

And now we must record the
birth of the Hughes presidential
boom. Hughes has been nomin-
ated for governor by the re-
publicans of New York state,
and, if elected, is acknowledged
by all political forecasters to be
in line for the White House
nomination.
The entry of the New YORK
lawyer and insuranceinvestigator
into the field of presidential
aspirants would add interest to
what looks, so far, like any body's
fight. Hughes is q capable man,
fearless and honest, and although
he has been prominently in
public life only since last winter,
his remarkable record in cond uct-
ing the insurance investigation
before the New York state
assemb bly, committee placed him
high in public esteem. Hughes
went into the investigation an
obscure attorney and en-. erged q
national figure.
Granting his election as
governor (Which is by no means
certain with Hearst to be
counted), Hughes should have an.
easy lead as favored presiden-
tai candidate over every one SO
far mentioned, . with the
possible exception Of Secretary
Taft, the only one Of the aspir-
ants who has shown anything
like Rooseveltian qualities. it
would not be strange if by 1908
the situation should have
simmered down to a contest
between these two men.
OF course, there is always the
possibility that the senate will
force the nomination Of
La Toilette by making q martyr
Of him.

Belle of Japan" caused in the
theatrical circles of the east since
its initial production. Every
where it met with the greatest
success, packed houses greeting
the performances in every city
in which it has been presented.
The press universally pronounced
it to be the colossus Of all hits.
Miss Bessie Clifton who heads
the excellent cast, will appear as
''Titi" the Belle of Japan, and as
"Gloria Swift" an American girl,
and will during the action of the
Comedy introduce with other
members, many singing and
dancing nun bers. The costumes
are said to be beautiful, and the
scenery especially attractive and
realistic and is made from
sketches of K. Tagano the
famous Japanese artist, and
shows an interior of a Japanese.

also the Famous Public Tea
