THIS IS THE WAY
TO SILENCE HIM

A lot of people are Mortified at the
"brazen effrontery" of Eugene e.
Schmitz for his persistent declaration
from behind prison bars that he will
again be candidate for mayor. Trial
and conviction by jury of his peers,
declared guilty within twenty min
utes and two of the jurors being la
Dor union men and his political sup
porters at the last city election, the
inventive genius of his seethingly in
dignant opponents is at a total loss
for means to stop Schmitz from car
rying out his crazy bluff.
1t looks like a difficult problem,
but here is the solution: Just let
him talk and when the time comes
let him run for mayor, conducting
his campaign from the county jail or
San Quentin as is may happen, he
will be the worst whipped man the
city of San Francisco ever contained,
and, besides, he will quit talking.
1t has been shown that he has no
respect for court of justice and that
the laws of his state are held in con-
tempt by him. He knows as do his
attorneys that the law says the office
of a mayor convicted of felony at
once becomes vacant, yet he wants to
be told again that he is not mayor
and this time by the people. The
people will tell him and then all will
be still.-Tonopah Sun.

DUFFY MAY RETURN
TO C|NDER TRACK

All that stands in the way of a
match between B. r. Day of England,
champion professional sprinter of the
world. and Arthur Duffy, former am
ateur champion, is $4,000, or a part
thereof sufficiently large to justify
Duffy in training for six weeks, says
a New York dispatch.
Day has just finished a tour of
Australia, where he earned $4,000.
and is now in Vancouver, B. c., on
his way to New York. From there
he writes Duffy, asking for a match
Duffy says he would gladly make
the match if he can see enough mon
ey in sight to justify his training ex-
penses. q am not in condition Just
now" said Duffy, "but l think | could
go some at that. | believe with six
weeks training l could make hun
dred in ten fiat, and that would prob
ably be fast enough"
Duffy has written to Day concern
ing the finncial end of the match and
is awaiting reply. If Day does not
consent to run for any large amount,
Tom Keane of New York has agreed
to take him on and will race him for
any amount that might be agreed
upon.

N GRAW IS A PAST
MASTER At ABUSE

Few spectators ever have had any
idea what "Muggsy" McGraw says to
umpires, writes Hugh Fullerton, the
sporting writer. The chances are
that if the crowds could hear some of
his remarks, McGraw would have
been driven out of baseball long ago.
He is a past master at abuse and
billingsgate. He knows the weak
nesses of umpires, and hits at them.
People who know McGraw off the
field as gentlemanly little fellow,
hardly can believe what he says.
With him it is cold-blooded science.
He isn't mad. He wants the next de-
cision, and he burns the umpire up.
His great success is knowing exactly
when and where to stop, and he can
tell by the umpire's looks just when
to quit His remarks about the per-
sonal appearance, habits, family life,
etc., of umpires hurt, and he has
driven more umpires out of business
than any one-eXcept possibly the
Tebeau-Griswold alliance at Omaha.

He WAS SLEEPY;
BUT GAME At THAT

There is party, whose name will
not be mentioned, who, after the
smoker Saturday night, tried to get
home.
With the assistance of few
friends who had his welfare at heart,
he reached his domicile, but was re-
fused admittance.
He then launched forth as foi-
lows:
"Bez'sh ye' four doiz I get in.
Zhis payday. Can't keep me out
and he laid down to take a snooze,
his friends being about to head out
for their own homes.
At this point hand reached out
and grasped the aforesaid thirst-dis-
penser, and he disappeared into the
heart of his family.
Bue he opened the the window,
and thusly came through:

ANOTHER TROPHY
FOR THE GUN CLUB

A beautiful specimen of workman
ship is displayed in the Loving cup
rendered to the Gun club by A. G.
Lundskog, of this city. This cup is
to be shot for until the end of the
season, and the man making the
greatest number of wins, is entitled
to the prize.
The club will meet at l O'Clock
Saturday for practice, and on Sun
day will take the first crack at the
big shoot"
The interest is so great in this
sport that everything else seems to
be subordinate, and the addition of
the new loving cup is an added in
centive.
In addition to the local trophy, the
Browning medal and the cup donated
by the club are to be contested for,
and the interest, produced by all
these is well calculated to pull out
crowd that will cram" the game
The loving cup is work of art,
and the lucky man will have Just
cause to be proud of his victory

HASKINS AND TAYLOR
UNDER THE BAN

H. Obertubessing, chairman of the
track and field championship COM
mittee of the Amateur Athletic I'M
ion, has issued call for meeting
next week for the purpose of passing
on the entry list for the senior cham
pionships. That the chairman is go
ing to strike hard at the college ath-
letes is apparent, and all indications
point toward a wholesale slaughter
of stars, says New York special.
Guy Haskins and ]. B. Taylor are
already barred from competition, and
1t is likely that both the New York
Athletic club and the Irish-American
Athletic club will suffer big losses.
The movement is being backed up by
the officials high up in amateur ath-
letic circles. and they say it will be
the death blow to the Summer board

SENATOR ODDIE HAS
BIG WATER PROJECT

Senator T. l.. Oddie of Tonopah
and Goldfeld has project on foot
for bringing water into both places
from Pine creek, about eighteen miles
from Belmont, says the Tonopah b.
nanza. The senator owns the rights
on the creek, which has its rise on
the highest peaks of the Jefferson
range, in the regions of perpetual
snow. The waters of the creek are
pure and sweet and can be carried
to Goldfield by gravity, the elevation
being about $500 feet above that of
the desert city.
According to Senator eddie, a flow
can be had of 100000 gallons daily,
which will be more than adequate
for the supply, and enough to spare
for Tonopah.

A WONDER AT HIT
TING THE BALL

Larry Doyle, John McGraw's re-
cruit from the Three-I league, now
covering second base for the Giants,
is making a sensation in the National
league by his hitting powers. The
latest report of unofficial averages
shows that Doyle is leading the
league at the bat with theh remark
able average of 1868 for sixteen
games. That would be going some
for an old stager like Hans Wagner,
but for yohngster just breaking in
to fast company it is phenomenal.
Doyle Is a little wobbly in his field
ing and his errors have cost the Gil
ants two or three games; but If he
can continue at the pace he is setting
the most partisan rooter for the Gil
ants will not have any fault to find
with is fielding York Press.

CHEERFUL DOPE

The above words rang out in the
Blue Chip saloon about $3.50 p. m.

years, thereby gaining five years off
his sentence, and had then gone west,
where he was first an actor, later be-
coming an undertaken and glass-emp-
tier in a cafe.
Jack Saunders, the man to whom
the above words were addressed, was
giant in stature. He doubled his
fists and shot all four at Peashooter,
so called because he could shoot all
the peas out of pod at sixty PAGES,
measured by walking fly.
Peashooter ducked, and a merciless
mitt collided with Daisy Diller, who
had just stepped in from teaching
school to see what all the row was
about.
Course you, Jack Saunders!
Kissed Peashooter; ''you dare to
strike a woman!"

bed Saunders, drawing his gun.

his brain. Saunders could hit any
object, however small.

shape.
After the first soreness wears off,
and the player shows signs of cas-

hope, in the near future, to try their
mettle against some of the good ones.
There is no doubt but that they will
give good account of themselves.
