A foreign medical journal has been
publishing facts about the dissemina
ton Of disease through books from
public libraries. 1t IL, of course, impos-
sibie for librarians to ascertain where
books have been or to know the condi-
lions Of families into which they 60 A
large number Of books were examined
and were found to contain the bacilli
OF pneumonia. diphtheria and many
other sorts, some Of which were harm
less. Even new books fresh from the
publishers hands were found to con-
tain germs. There are very many per-
sons who practice wetting the fingers
with the lips or tongue when turning
the pages Of books. This is an exceed
ingiy dangerous thing to do, not only
to the person who does 1t, but to all
others who may use the book after
ward, especially II the person SO doing
has any form Of disease in the system.
Invalids Of all kinds are likely to be
great readers, and the consumptive or
those suffering with cancer may un-
Willingly deposit on the pages of the
volumes they peruse the deadly germs
Of their own malady.

There wa much talk Of police inter-

week and Indications that the race
might be stopped because o. objection
able features, ut beyond some criticism
by the board of healtr few changes in
the exits rdered by he building de-
partment and extra police detailed to
preserve a semblance of ORDER nothing
was done.
During the ,dst few hours Of the race
10000 persons Joined in a continuous
uproar, dividing their cheers between
their favorltes. No inch of room was
unoccupied in the boxes, and at least
1000 persons stood under the track at
the east and west g in order to get
glimpse of the riders.
Even after orders were given to close
the doors, Madison avenue was blocked
with a surging crowd. The police had
all they could do to preserve order In
the street. For the first time uniformed
men appeared in the building, and as a
result rowdyism was less noticeable.
From o'clock until the end of the
race there was q series of spurts.
Coffey made an attempt shortly after
O'Clock to get lap, and had succeeded
in losing the bunch when the red flag
went out and his work resulted In
nothing. The crowd hissed the decis-
ion. Walthour received a great well
come when he came on the track at
o'clock The foreign riders watched
Walthour closely and at the slightest
indication of an attempt to sprint
Georgstte, who closely followed his
rear wheel, would shout a warming in
French and the others would rush
ahead OF the southerner.
The following men started in the
mile sprint to decioe the race: Folger,
Downey, Mcdonald, Netting, Downing
Rutt Clark, Emil Georgette.
Nearly eight teams had standing
after 10 o'clock. Bobby Walttour and
John Bedell and Breton and Samuelson
made many futile attempts to get on
even terms with the leaders.
At 1906 o'clock these teams left the
track, leaving just one-half of the orig
inal starters to fight out the finish. The
mandate of the official starters affecting
Walthour and Bedell did not please the
crowd, which expressed its disapproval
with jeers and Kisses.

OBrien does not care for belts.
"Oh, let's drop that belt question; no.

would be agreeable. Said he:

very highly of in the refugee city. This
contest was a slugging match from
beginning to end. First one was
down and then the other.
After ten rounds of this Berger's
seconds decided that he had had
enough of this sort. Sam finished the
tenth round in a condition that hard
ly permitted him to reach his cor
ner. The sponge was thrown into the
ring, giving Kaufman the victory.
Kaufman has no great science upon
which to depend in the coming bat
tie, and therefore must rely solely
upon his ability to Outright Gardner
from the start. Al is by far the larg-
er of the two, towering above Gardner
half head. He will possibly enter the
ring a little the heavier but this will
be offset by Gardeners experience and
science.
Gardner is today one of the cleVerest
men of the lightweight and middle
weight classes. He is the only man
who ever sent the big husky Kentuck-

y GORGE GARDNER and Al Kauf-
Imann are preparing faithfully for
- their coming contest next Friday
night. Kaufman has taken advantage
of Arcadia road work facilities, train
ing at Baldwin's ranch, and is rapidly
reducing superfluous flesh.
Gardner is in the city at Lewis gym
nasium and does his road work in the
morning at Ascot park. With so
much interest being manifested con-
cerning the proposed Burns-O'Brien
match Kaufman and Gardner have
almost dropped out of view.
Patrons of the boxing game in Los
Angeles have been so used to seeing
nothing short of championship battles
that a contest in which a title is not
at stake does not seem very much to
them. The card for Friday night,
however, is a good one and should
draw a large house.

ian, Marvin Hart, down for the count.
He, too, has been knocked out but
once. Mike Schreck put him out in
the final round of their twenty-round
go at Salt Lake two years ago.
Kaufman is training at Arcadia,
where he has for a sparring partner
Jack Twin Sullivan, who is to battle
with Jim Flynn on the fourth of next
month.
Sullivan was Jack O'Briens chief ad-
visor the night that he fought Tommy
Burns for the heavyweight title. His
work that night was very commenda-
BILE and no debut he intends to send
AL into the ring prospective winner.
Only four more days are left for
training, as neither of them will do
much work Thursday. Today will be
the day that many of the devotees OF
the ring game in Los Angeles will en-
deavor to get their Zine" on the men,

week or perhaps more in which to
marshal his forces.
Skinner was in communication last
night with Rhyolite promoters and aft
er long consultation replied to in
quiries that he would remain as silent
as a clam until next Saturday.
Los Angeles may eventually secure
the match, but so long as an earth
quake does not remove Rhyolite, Tono-
pah and few other mining camps
from the face of the earth there will
be interesting developments.
Greenwater is yet to be heard from
and the Johnny district should be
ashamed of itself for not making a
noise like a million dollar purse.
Los Angeles herald., 1906-12-16

Both men are. strictly speaking,
fighters and game to the core. Both
are also confident that there will be a
knockout and each thinks he will be
the one to deliver the blow. The rec
ords of both men are very good,
Gardner having list of victories
which very few heavyweights in the
business today can boast of. Kauf-
mann is not the old and experienced
hand at the game that Gardner is but
is considered a hard man to beat.
Kaufman has but one defeat mark
ed against him, that a knockout by
Philadelphia Jack OBrien. This bat
tie was staged in San Francisco and
was the first contest of Kaufmann's
career that had ever gone longer than
one round. Up to that time AL had a
list of five knockouts. all of them end
ing in the first period.
After the O'Brien contest Kaufman
