OF the bout between Billy Papke of
Spring Valley and Brooklyn johnny
Carroll of Jersey City, before the Poo
ria \. c. here last night, and again
Billy Papke was the undisputed wei
ter.
\ better matched pair never faced
referee in this city. Each man was
apparently in the condition of his life;
each was confident and cool. The
Spring Valley miner was seconded by
Cyclone Johnny" Thompson and Ed
die Mack worked with Carroll.
Papke started the fray with harm
less left TO the face He swung a
right to the easterner's ear and they
roughed it. Carroll outboxed Papke
and managed to avoid his bull-like
rUshes.
Carroll is Clever.
The second round brought no devel-
opments. Carroll was a shade clCv-
erer and managed to shove through a
hard right occasionally. which appar-
entity had no effect upon the miner.
Carroll brought rounds of applause in
The third by his clever boxing and side
stepping of Papke's rushes, and the
boys smiled as they went to their cor
nCrs.
\ minute after the fourth began
Papke caught Carroll with Il short
right smash on the jaw in his corner
and the latter Went down. He was up
in a second and down in another cor
nCr from a furious rush Carroll stag
gered across the ring. caught the ropes
and recovered only to meet a left tC

A Definition Of Success.

How have the hypothetical scien.
lists and the exponents OF unbeliei
benefited themselves or humanity al
large by sowing the seeds OF doubt
broadcast in the world? The real sci
entists do not fall In this category. for
they are believers In the real sense Of
the word: they know too much. they
have seen too many mysterious mani
festations of the Divine creative pow
er. Now. those who have disposed oi
the Bible and all evidences OF inspira
ton, have written a great many booka
and some OF them have won what ths
world at large lightly calls fame. Ac.
cording to the ordinary measures that
are applied in such cases. they have
been extremely successful. but real
success means the benefit Of human.
;;y In some form or other. II no such
benefits can be shown as the result Of
their labors. their success Is not equal
to that achieved by the direst poverty
and the deepest ignorance. - Joel
Chandler. in Uncle Remus' Magazine.

make 1t.
Does Golfers expect to regain any
selfinhicted loss of prestige by de
monstrating thru suits for damages,
that 1t can be more artful in evading
liability for libels than the humble
but resentful victims of its defamation,
or does 1t hope for starting a campaign
of libel suits to silence the popular in
dignation, reproach and resentment
which 1t has aroused.
Golfers can not dodge this public
controversy by private law suits. 1t
can not postpone the public judgment
against 1t. That great jury, the Pub
lie, will hardly blame us for not wait

heard OF this collection OF recipes and
one feature of every mans trip to
New York is to try n pipeful OF some
big mans favorite tobacco. In most
cases this special mixture is so
strong that the nerves of the average

Belljno a Rat,

You have probably read or heard
that the best way to rid a house OF
rats Is to catch one and fasten a bell
about its neck. A boy in Delaware
tried the experiment two months ago.
He was badly bitten in making the
bell fast. but he turned the rat loose
and expected the tinkling Of that bell
would have great results. 1t did have.
In the first place. the rat who wore 1t
was constantly on the move all night.
and the tinkling bell kept the family
awake. and in the next the sounds
brought scores OF new rats to the
house. Instead of being afraid OF the
bell. they were charmed with the mu.
