THE PUGILlSTS THE WEALTH OF JACK O'BRIEN Tabulated Account of What He Has Made in Few Years in
 the Prize Ring.

Philadelphia Jack O'Brien IS per haps one of the best examples of
 what q boxer can do in the way of
 making money by attending to all details of the business himself, says
 A. NJ. Gellam. According to Jacks own figuring, and O'Brien is pretty good at figures, he has made $11S,- 15O.50 at the boxing game in eleven years, without the assistance of a manager and without being obliged to whack up with any one. He has also made about $23,O00 in the real estate business during the last few years without interfering with box ing, so O'Brien to-day classes as one of the rich fighters of the country. O'Brien has never had a manager. He has paid men to look after his interests at the door and at the box office, and has also paid men to rep resent him in various cities where something unexpectedly turned up, but a manager of boxers never got any of his. Lew Bailey made few matches for O'Brien when he first started out, and while he was still new Lew came to him, Jack says. with a contract, in which Bailey agreed to manage Jack for 25 per cent of his earnings. OBrien balk- ed at once and declared that no man should ever collect any of his money, even if he had to quit the boxing business. Bailey assisted O'Brien in many of his matches after that, but always as an employe rather than a manager, being paid stated sum for his services. Walter Schlichter also represented O'Brien on numerous occasions, but he was never Jacks manager.
 When asked to give detailed ac- count of his winnings by years O'Brien furnished the following in teresting lot of figures: .@

Spike Robson of England has at last been matched to fight Abe AtteII. the American featherweight cham picn. in a six round bout at Philadel- phia on April 2. The men will weigh 12i pounds at the ringsilc. which may be a hardship for the Englishman. who came to this country recently declaring that he would meet AtteII to a finish at 1a; pounds ringside. At- tell. however. will not agree any oth- CT weight. so Robson finally made the concession rather than lose the match. If Robson makes good showing in this contest it is believed that he will make another match with AtteII which will go twenty rounds or to a
 finish.

From now on the sporting public may be expected to read long blasts from Tex Rickard, the Nevada pro- moter. and the lightweight fighters Cans and Nelson. Rickard says that he has signed the men to fight for a S30.0O0 purse at Ely. Nev., on July (. But Nelson denies this vehement ly and declares that the purse is not large enough. This may prove to DC poor policy in view of the fact that Rsckard has peculiar way now and then of changing his mind. The days of such enormous purses are num- bered.

MADE THE "T|SN|N,"
 BUT DIDN'T SELL II
St, Johns Kept In Fear That Drunken Orgies Might
 Become Serious.

PHOENIX, Ar!Z., July r16.-Admit. ting that he made the vile stun, but denying that he engaged in its sale, Jose Maria Suarez was arraigned be fore Justice Johnstone this morning on charge of selling "tiswin'' to seY- eral Yaqui Indians in the St. Johns district.
 Suarez was arrested two miles south of Tempe while at work on an irrigating canal yesterday afternoon by Deputy Sheriff Wayne Davis, and brought to the city last night.
 Himself Yaqui Indian, Suarez has been making and selling ''tiswin" to the male members of the colony of his countrymen in the St. Johns sec ton, who have made their festive oc- casions notable by the drunkenness and fighting that has followed liberal drinking of the stuff.
 ''Tiswin," or corn whisky. is one of the yilest forms of liquor that appeal to the taste of Indians in Arizona. To make it corn is boiled for two days and then allowed to stand until 1t reaches a certain stage of fermenta- uon, when 1t is passed out to the In- dians.
 1O Olt Ol HIS CuSlOiltIS SUdIeZ IS alleged to have stated that his profits from one barrel of the stuff amounted to $10. He sold a small soda water bottle full for 15 cents. It takes but a few bottles to make the drinker see blood tn the air.
 For the past two months complaints have been made to Sheriff Hayden that someone was making and selling ''tiswin' at St. Johns, and that as q result every time the Indians got enough to make them crazy there was danger of their going on the warpath.
 Sheriff Hayden learned that the In dians at St Johns were figuring on a celebration last Sunday. and sent Deputy Sheriff Davis 10 investigate. He learned that Suarez had left. and then sent several who tried to buy 'tisWin' from others. They failed, but Deputy Davis was able to get one small bottle, which was presented to him.
 SuareZ does not deny making the stuff, and his admission along that line will probably interest the federal authorities. He says that he made it, but never sold any Several wit nesses will testify that they were able 10 buy 'tiswin'' from Suarez when he has his hearing before Jus tice JOhnstone next Monday morning at 10 o'clock for selling liquor without a county license.

ABOUT KIssEY.

Rumor to the effect that Governor Kibbey will soon vacate the guberna
 torial chair is again current These rumors bob up with monotonous regu
 larity. The Blade takes no stock in them, for two reasons, namely: 1st
 There is no reason why the governor should voluntarily resign. While the salary paid the governor is not com mensurate with the value of the ser vices he performs, the holding of the office does not prohibit him from ac- cepting fees as an attorney in cases not affecting the interests of the ter ritory and the prestige of the office eniarges his law practice. 2nd. The president cannot, consistently. de. mand his resignation for the reason that he is giving the territory the most efficient and honest republican admin stration 1t has ever had. and by demanding his retirement the president would demonstrate that honesty and efficiency do not meet with his approval Mir Roosevelt is too shrewd a politician to place him self in that position.

A MATURE EAkeR.

The San Francisco Call is ashamed Of us and calls us a name that ought to have excluded that issue of the paper from the United States mails. We fear that the writer has interest ed himself in some stock enterprise without having made as diligent in quiry as he afterwards wished he had instituted. At any rate, here is his wierd wall under the title of "The Arizona Wild Cat"
 Arizona is the native land of the wild cat, but this must not be mis- taken for a nature story The Ari- zona cat. although born among the cactus, is never at home there. He may keep an office in the territory. but even that is not insisted on. He preys not on the farmers chickens, but on the purses of the credulous. Arizona makes a strong bid for the business of the fiy-by-nighb corpora tion. We find in the guerilla publica- tions on financial affairs, with head quarters in Wall street. a large dis play of advertisements inviting pro motors to incorporate their schemes in Arizona, with Inducements like these:
 No annual franchise tax or re- ports. Capitalization does not affect cost. Private property exempt from corporate debts. All details carefully observed to insure legal incorpora- tion Cost is small. May begin busi- ness same day application is made. Copy of laws and organization blanks on request"
 There are no taxes and no publici- ty. No prying eye' offends the Ari- zona wild cat. He is turned loose to prey on the whole country, and there are no legal strings on him. Arizona does an i'll service to her neighboTs by making so easy the crea- tion of irresponsible corporations. In a word, the territory becomes partner in a bunco game that New Jersey might be ashamed to encourage. It is not agreeable to live next door to a strumpet commonwealth
 As a matter of fact, Arizona makes it no easier for irresponsible corpo- rations to gather here than most of the other states and territories of the union do, says the Phoenix Re publican. As the Call shows, howey- CT, some energetic citizens of the ter ritory are not backward in pointing out to prospective incorporators cer- tain advantages which this territory offers. Of late years, however. we have not heard that the Arizona wild cat has seriously scratched anybody. A fraud was given semi-oficiaI expos ure by former Governor Murphy some years ago. But since then those who have invested in worthless stocks have complained against corporations formed under the laws of some other state or territory. Nevada for in stance. The Call writer has clearly identified himself with the nature fakers.

AUTOMOBILES
 EVE ANYWHERE.

IL is but a few years since automo
 piles were regarded as novelties, and
 now they are common in every part
 of the country. Whether it is true
 or not that the farmers Of Kansas have them in general use for carrying of hired men from the railroad sta
 tions. many of them undoubtedly are owned by farmers, and they are a familiar sight in all our small cities
 while in the larger cities tourists have come to rely on them as an aid to seeing the town. Without the fig, ures from manufacturers. it would be perfectly plain that they represent a rapidly expanding industry.
 Evidence to the same effect comes from foreign countries. It is report ed by our consul at Bristol that 20,00O motor vehicles were turned out in England last year, that over 10000 cars are running there, and that trade papers expect the number will be quadrqpIed in ten years. The market for the year, according to the Lon don Times, was worth some $6O, O,O00,- 000, of which nearly s22, ,5O0,0 ,0O0 went to foreign manufactures fact that of itself indicates the wide distribu- tion of the business. And it is in structive to note that checks and setsback, which were predicted by those who believed that they were witnesses of fad having its day have never been felt. On the contrary. the growth has been uninterrupted, and there seems to be no doubt that the present season will be g record breaker.
 From the developments at home and abroad, it is plain that there is nothing to the fad theory except as it may apply to persons here and there who have overdone automobil- ing as they oyerdo everything else, and who are always seeking new pleasures. And the reasons why this is so are not far to seek. The auto mobile is seryiceabIe in many ways. It has opened up new possibilities in pleasure driving, 1t is an excelIentI public conveyance, it is useful in the delivery of light merchandise and in heavy traffic, it is often of great con venienee in business which requires much travelling about It's value has been so conclusively demonstrated that therc is certain to be a growing demand for it and large increase in the output of machines.

RANK AMATEURS,
 GILT EDGED BALL
Sensational Baseball For Am. ateurS Played at Douglas
 Sunday Afternoon,
Score. one to nothing.

Score. one to nothing. Sounds pretty good for a bunch of amateurs, doesn't it :? What do you think about that2
 But those are the figures the small boy did not hang up on the score board that is not at the baseball park.
 Not one of the three hundred per sons who went to the park yesterday expected to see big league baseball between the two teams representing the Douglas Regulars and the Elks, but that is what they did see The game went an hour and forty minutes, which is fast enough for an extra in ming game
 The work of the two fingers was of the highest order of excellence, as the dramatic critic is wont to say. Parsons for the Elks dished out zero pellets with a frequency that preclud- ed any chance of punching hits, and some quatorce of the Regulars whiff artists threshed the air Intellectually. Kelly for the Regulars also twirled a cred5table game and seven Elks failed to connect with the bail after three or more attempts. During the entire contest but five hits were made on both sides, the Elks getting three of these
 The two teams presented the fol lowing batting order:
 Elks-Doran, c: Helen. 2b; Pafson. D; Thornton. of; Worthington, 1b; Reed, 3b; Potter, If; Scott, ss: Me Mullen. If Regulars-Lawhorn. 2b: H. Kelly. D; J. Kelly. c; Grunwald. 3b; Overlook. 1b; Hatcher, ss; Piper, If; Holtkamp. of; Carey. If.
