The senseless assumption of ring
names by young boxers is a prac-
tice that is rapidly disappearing.
In the old days, when a puglist was
looked upon as a most undesirable
citizen, boys who went into the
game tried to hide their identity
and spare the feelings of their fam
lilies by assuming names not unlike
those adopted by professional bur
glars. There were more Kids"
and "Youngs" than you could shake
a stick at and the list of other as
sumed names is almost intermin-
able. Very few Of the champions,
however, found it necessary to as
sumo names, the only notable ex-
ceptions being Tommy Ryan and
Young Corbett, Ryan in private life
being JOS. Youngs and Corbett be-
ing VIM. Rothwell. Practically none
OF the big fellows who have achiev-
ed fame went under assumed
names. John l.. Sullivan, Paddy

Joe Choynski and Gus Rubin were
satisfied with their real names and
looked upon nicknames with dis

WASHINGTON, d. c., April T.
That 1908 will be a democratic year
is the genuine and inspiring con-
viction which has started all this
talk about presidential possibilities
and candidates.
Democrats who are happily con-
vinced that Theodore Roosevelt will
stick to his pledge and not take a
third term are sure that the sub
traction of Roosevelt will leave the
republican party as a cipher on
the surface of oblivion. They say
Roosevelt is all there is of his par
ty today. Take him away, and it
becomes the party of the corrupt
trusts a "reminiscences of Hanna
and campaign debauchery. Take
away Roosevelt and the republican
party is as easy to beat as a tied
punching bag in gymnasium.
VIM. Jennings Bryan is the most
looming candidate for the democra-
tic nomination to be seen from this
point of view. Men in the senate
and house whose voices are heard
in the councils OF their party think
that Bryan will come back from his
trip around the world as the cham
pion of municipal ownership. rail.
way regulation, public ownership of
public utilities and prepared to step
into his former position of party
leadership. In short, they believe
that Bryan Is coming into his own.
The purpose of Alton B. Parker's
recent trip through the south and
his effort to arouse the southern
democrats to choose a candidate is
found In the fear of roaring Bill
Hearst.
Parker Is recognized here as the
official mouthpiece of the Wall
street interests. He is the spokes-

Jimmy Britt's pride is hurt. He

Pessimistic persons already are
predicting financial failure for the
Los Angeles fight festival, and in
support of their predictions are
pointing out the fact that the New
Orleans carnival Of 1892 and the
Carson carnival Of 1897 were frosts
from the money standpoint. They
can see nothing but a big loss in
store for Tom McCarey, especially
when they take into consideration
the size of his pavilion.
The building in which Nelson and
Herrera will meet is a frame struc-
ture. recently erected. It's seating
room consists of the main floor and
bleachers on four sides. There are
no galleries and the corner seats on
the bleachers are far from being
desirable. The floor space is not
nearly so large as that of Wood
wards pavilion in San Francisco,
and with the latter house packed
at prices ranging from 81 to $50 the
receipts have never reached SAL
600, the figure that McCarey be.
lieves will let him out with profit.
Many are inclined to the belief
that McCarey made a serious mis-
take in deciding to pull the fight off
at night. The cite the case of the
last Britt-Nelson battle and the i'm
mense profits the pictures have
yielded Jim Coffroth and his asso-
clates. There Is little doubt that If
McCarey turned his fighters loose
in the open air and in front of a
moving picture machine he too
would be rewarded with a fat bank
account as a result of the exhibit
tion Of the pictures. To a man
up a tree this looks like his sole
financial salvation. It Is no stretch
OF the Imagination at all to predict
that he would be a big winner if he

When the curtain risese on the
weekly change of bill at the Wash
ington theater tomorrow afternoon
the patrons of that popular vaude-
Vile house should be treated to one
of the best shows that have been
seen in this city for some time.
Grace Huntington, a late stock
star at the Fifth avenue theater,
New York, supported by capable
and clever company, will head the
bin, presenting roaring farce
comedy entitled "a MATRIMONIAL
Mixup." The play is said to be one
of the best acted on the vaudeville
stage, and 1T has been deservedly
given the leading place on the bill.
Joseph Callahan, portraying
Great Men, Past and Present" will
probably share equally with the
headliners the plaudits of the audi
ence, as his work is said to be
wonderful. For many years Cal
lahan followed the role of the legi-
innate. All changes are made in
full view of the audience, Mr.. Cal
lahan making a number of rapid
fire changes.

comedian who is said to be far and

lately he was with Weber & Fields,
being only a late recruit in the
ranks of vaudeville. Evans and

ers, have an attractive speciality
and will introduce some turns new

ber that should prove an applause
winner is that of Muller and Chunn,
