'Passaic Boy Wouldn't Stand for
1t and Didn't Fight.
Other Notes.
BY OLD PORT.

The Quakertown fight people tried to
hand Battling Hurley a big juicy lemon
last night, but the Jersey boy is no
food for a sucker gan of crooks, and
when he found that he was being done
he side-stepped the issue with Tommy
O'Keefe and came back home. There
was a large gang of Jersey sports dis
appointed ovcer the outcome, as it hap
pened, but when they learned of the
measley trick that the State Athletic
Club tried to hand Hurley they stood
by the little chap and roasted the club
management. When Hurley signed up
t. meet O'Keefe 1t was with the
definite understanding that he was to
get a certain sum-. Things didn't look
right to Hurley and his manager when
they set foot in the clubhouse, and they
asked the club for their end of the
purse. Then it was that the club tried
tc hand the gold brick, but it didn't go,
and, O'Keefe was saved a beating.
There was a big crowd on hand to
see the Passaic boy working, for he is
well-known in Quakertown through his
good work here and in New York.
When the spectators heard that the club
wouldn't stand by its agreement with

TIGERS NEARLY
VICTIMS OF A
TROLLEY SMASH
But Nothing Serious Resulted
Save Rude Awakening of a
Dr0wsy Driver.

The Tigers had a pretty close call
yesterday at Baltimore while return
ing in a bus from the orioles base
ball park to the Eutaw House, where
the Newark team is putting up. A troll
ley car smashed midway into the bus
and came near upsetting it, and but
for the GOODNESS of the players an ac-
cident would have followed.
Buses are high in Baltimore both In
price and build, and the least swaying
motion is liable to send the entire She
bang careering towards the gutter.
The bus driver was half asleep yes
terday, and his four-in-hand were loll-
ing along with the Tigers thinking OF
home and supper when suddenly a
Eutaw street trolley came slambang
against the centre of the stage. Tom
Hughes, the Salida kid, had the pres
ence of mind to jump out on the pole
and check the frightened horses. while
Avica Jimmie Mullen shouted to Kid
Mailing to look out after Hack En-
gle.
When everything was righted 1t was
found that the only n scared on the
bus was the driver, who didn't see
where he was going to get his usual
dollar tip from the big Tiger, Mr.. Stall
ings, tomorrow night. Wives n sweet
hearts of the Tigers need have no fear,
Nothin' can kill that outfit, especially
while they are in Baltimore.

endowments. Some have been In the
form of a library, others nave estab-
lished seats of learning, out SO far in
this country no one has founded the
stepping stone university for young
men to enable them to get in physical
shape to accept the benefits of these
colleges and educational institutions.
If the same spirit that is making itself
felt regarding out of door athletics
continue some day you will hear OF
some philanthropist awakening to the
demands of the ley era. You will hear
of a new Moses rising In the political
world and advocating the freedom of
the land for ~clubhouses wherein are
taught the lessons that make strong
citizens, physically as we'll as mentally.
The young nan of today who is identi-
fed with some athletic club or organic
cation N who loves the sport just
for the health benefits he derives, will
some day be an influential citizen and
when we get more of this kind then
maybe this country will try and foster
the right kind of an athletic spirit in
stead of hampering It by burdening all
such clubs with all sorts of taxes. I be-
in the free distribution of the
law. But I also believe that the time
will come when clubs that are founded
to make better citizens will be taken
within the folds of the lawmakers and
then they will receive special benefits
because of the good work they can do.

Americans Are Criticised.
1t has often beer said that we in thi!
country differ a great deal in oui
methods of governing affairs from those
countries on the other side of the ocean
particularly England and Germany. In
this latter country it is insisted by the
lawmakers that every youth, boy and
girl, become proficient in training the
body. The old principle of the pagan
lsh philosopher is accepted by h wise
men of all nations. AN unclean and
and unhealthy body cannot hold a
clean and a healthy mind. Germany
makes 1t imperative on the father and
mother of children to see that their
boys and girls become adopts In gym
nasium work.
They are taught to become athletes
almost from the time they are able to
walk. And this is right. 1t is only
answering the demands of human ma
ture. The American Indians, u fore
fathers here, recognized the blessings
10 be derived from well-trained bodily
children and their papooses were early
made to mount the steed and to use
the arrow and to climb the mountain
passes. Courage and self-reliance goes
with such an early training. In other
countries the athletic training of youths
Is encouraged. But not so in this oun-
try.
Did 1t Ever strike Youe
In other countries clubhouses, play
grounds and other means for the mus
rular development of youth. are erect

fits are exempt from any tax or levy.
There are no charges imposed In a
financial way to detract from the en-
thusiasm of the boy or the girl or the
club which is anxious to train the body
Did it ever strike you that In this
