SPORT
KETCHELL-BURNS
FIGHT To COME

Now that Stanley Ketchell looms up
as a probable antagonist in a fight to
decide the heavyweight championship
Tommy Burns sends word from Aus
tralia that he will fight Jack Johnson,
the colored champion, but wants the
match to take place in the Antipodes
This news was sent after Burns had
knocked Bill Squires out in thirteen
rounds. There is nothing new about
the report that Burns is willing to meet
Johnson, for he stated before that he
went to England that he would meet
the colored man on his return, and he
reiterated his statement before he sail
the colored man TO follow him to Aus
tralia for a match sounds ridiculous.
Even though there should be big pur-
SEES in Sydney or Melbourne there is no
! reason why just as large purses should
not be offered on the Pacific Coast
James Coffroth, the San Francisco pro-
| moter, stands ready to offer the men a
purse of $35 900 when they get ready to
! talk business, and the chances are that
no club in Australia will offer more. To
| the man who follows closely the trend
of pugilistic events this proposition,
| however, only sounds like an excuse to
tide things over until Burns has clean
ed up all the Antipodian soft marks
and starts for America. And, by the
way, when he lands in the States again
he will probably find that the situation
will demand a meeting between him
and Stanley Ketchell intsead of with
Johnson.
Ketchell has become the public idol
on the Coast now and it will be Ket-
chell and Burns to a certainty. There
may be such a thing as shifting the
proposed Burns-Ketchell match back
little and let Johnson and Burns get
together first, but the indications are
that the pressure will be for Burns
Ketchell fight. 1t would be the great
est betting proposition they have had
out there for years, as Ketchell would
have all kinds of hackers for a match
of that kind, and he would not be
averse to backing himself for tidy
sum.

ENGLISH FEATHER
VS.. NATIVE SON

Sam Berger who has already given
the San Francisco fighting fans sew
eral good shows during the year, has
arranged another card which is likely
to appeal to the lovers of fisticuifs
Berger arranged match between
Owen Moran and Eddie Hanlon to take
place at the Coliseum on the evening
of September 3Oth. The articles call
for the men to fight twenty rounds
and to weigh in at 1873 pounds at 3
O'Clock on the afternoon of the fight.
Fifty per cent of the receipts WIN go
to the boxers and will be divided 80
per cent to the winner and 40 per
cent to the loser.
Observation-Disclosures
Lang made favorable showing during
! the first few rounds, but tired fast .
Burns, by this time, had regained his
strength and went after his opponent
with determination to land a knock
out. In this he was not successful I'M
til the sixth, when Lang was all in.
An interesting parsonage to all fol-
lowers of pugilistic happenings now
adays is Manager James w. Coffroth,
of San Francisco.
Whenever you hear of a big fight
coming off on the Coast you uncon-
sciously connect Coffroths name with
it. Marisch, Gleason, Berger, Greggatns
and others are all in the news every
day as fight promoters and seem to be
doing business, but some way or other
when the really big thing comes off the
picture of Sunny jim" Coffroth al
ways appears in the flashlight photo of
signing the articles"
If you knew Coffroth as fighters and
fight people know him you would see
the reason in a minute. 1t isn't be-
cause he outbids other promoters. On
the contrary, he generally gets a larger
share of the gate receipts than any 9TH
er promoter. In the first place he is
ION the level" Fighters will tell you
that; and when a fighter admits that a
promoter isn't trying to do him all
the time you can put the family jewels
in the keeping of the said promoter
and never mind about the receipt.

Baseball has made great progress on
its technical side during the last gen
Grafton. The game as now played by
professional teams is faster and hard
er, more strenuous and scientific than
it was twenty or thirty years ago
many old-timers to the contrary not
withstanding. 1t embodies more team
work, inside ball and patent plays.
Bunting, sacrifice hitting, the double
steal, the hit-and-run game, the
squeeze play and other innovations
have worked a transformation in the
game. The modern game makes larg-
er demands on the players; it necessi-
tates more ground covering, quicker
headwork and livelier footwork. The
development of bunting, for example,
has called for greater speed in the
work of third basemen, first basemen
and catchers.

Young Loughrey, of Philadelphia,
had Joe Seiger beaten at the end of the
fourth round at the Roman A. c., New
York, on September T. and in the last
two rounds he tossed the fight off.
Loughrey didn't do the chucking of his
own accord, though. He was fighting
just as fast in the fifth as he had done
in the others, when he suddenly ran
into a jolt on the jaw that shook every
hair of his head straight He reeled
and tried desperately to cling tight
enough to hold the little Denver de-
mon, but Joe ripped and pumped in
blows so fast that Loughrey fairly
gasped for breath. His punches sud-
denly lost their sting, but Seiger had
paid him back for the beating he had
received in the earlier rounds.

Burns had to bring all of his clever

Time and again the American was fore

wisely in resolving to favor practical meas

features of the Commissioners bill. which
increases the zones of absolute prohibit

to various neighborhoods by placing it
within the power of majority of the
residents to prevent the issuance of
licenses Thus the league has adopted the
principle of gaining prohibition by piece

once and gaining nothing. This is doubt

Taft on the Tariff.

In his tariff speech in New York last
night Judge Taft said three things OF
great interest at this time.
% He pronounced in favor of protec-
ton. That was not new or necessary.
Had he not been protectionist he could
not have been nominated for President.
In no speech he had made before that
time in favor of a revision of the tariff
had he failed to declare for protection as
principle. But it was well for him TO
emphasize the point last night. inasmuch
as he was treating of the subject in the
light of the November victory and the OBJ
legations it had imposed. His audience
received his declaration with great ap-
plause.
CO In interpreting the tariff plank OF
of the difference of cost in articles pro-
duced abroad and in this country, and
showed that the party was pledged to
consider the matter in preparing the new
bill lie then said:

and will continue To he made sincere
effort to find the difference of cost and to

pleasant section among pleasant people.

fort, and the public welfare. Work done

The Districts School Buildings.

While the report of the commission
appointed by the District Commissioners
to investigate the physical conditions of
the local public school system is calcu-
lated to alay any serious apprehension
regarding the safety of children. 1t never
theless discloses facts that call for rem
edy The investigators report the build
ings to be in the main fairly up to the
average of safety and convenience, but
Washington is not content to be merely
equal to that average 1t wants to be
equal to the best
AS far deficiencies are discovered
in the existing conditions they are in
the main due chiefly to the lack of ade-
quate means, and for this the response
bility rests squarely with Congress. The
report should. and doubtless will, be laid
in full before Congress to acquaint that
body with the consequences of inadequate
appropriations, and meanwhile it is to
be hoped that it will effect more har-
monious cooperation between the school
officials and the District government au-
thorities in the planning, construction, re-
pair and maintenance of the school build
ings.
1t is evident that there have been mis-
takes In the past in the designing of
public school buildings in this District
but the responsibility for them is not a
matter for present consideration. They
may be attributed to the fact that the
science of schoolhouse designing has been
during the past twenty-five years in
state of evolution, and that the model
school building has been developed only
within a. decade or perhaps less. In the
past the doctrine appears to have prevailed
that any kind of shelter was good enough
for a school. The latter-day concept of
the public responsibility is totally differ
ent. Such disasters as that at Collin
wood, near Cleveland, have destroyed all
remnants of this thought, and the dis
tinct proposition today before every COM
munity Is that above all other public
structures the schoolhouse should be a
model of safety, both in its materials and
in its design. Washington will never be
content until it's school equipment con-
forms to this principle.
For many years the District has Jagged
behind its needs in this respect, as in
others. Schoolhouses that should long
since have been abandoned for lack of
suitable accommodations and safeguards
have been retained in service because
they were vitality essential to the mainte-
nance of the school system. The true
solution of the problems presented today
here in Washington is to appropriate for
schoolhouse equipment which will be
in all respects a model as regards the
health and the safety of the children
This will mean the replacement Of many
buildings with new ones 1t will involve
the expenditure of several million dol
lars. But there will be no local demur
at SO heavy an investment in security.

that he entertains no such opinion, but
the contrary
C) But it is in this sentence that the
most is conveyed:

We need not accept this as in the ma
ture of threat. 1t is not to be read as
in effect saying: There is reason to
fear that Congress is meditating trick,
and l here and now give notice that if
a trick is attempted 1t will be defeated
by veto. No perfdy and dishonor' bust
ness for me. I'll stop any bill which
does not square with the party's prom
ises and the power secured by them"
The sentiment is so sound all may and
should echo it. Judge Taft, we may

duty as he sees it. He is not the kind of
man to thunder in the index.
In all the speculation about the coming
tariff revision there is express or implied
reference to the democratic fiasco of 1894

democrats failed because of a funda-
mental disagreement. Mr.. Cleveland, as

was an out-and -out protectionist. There
was no bond between them. There is no
such difficulty in the republican camp.
Standpatters and revisionists alike are
for protection. The question is one of
rates: one of how much protection this
article or that should carry at this time
of day.
1t Is evident from his speech that Judge
Taft expects Congress to prepare the right
sort of bill. And at this stage of the
game it is far better for him to give his
confidence to Congress than it would be
for him to complicate the situation and
hearten the enemy by an expression of

Scholar or Athlete.
From the Chicago Tribune.

The athlete or the scholar? Which type
of man does the world want? That Is
the query suggested by President Had
ley of Yale in an address to the Harvard
winners of scholastic honors. Two gen.
erations ago the intellectual idol Of the
graduates and students at most Of our
colleges was the leading debater. Now
it is no longer the debater but the ath-
lete who occupies the center of the stage.
The fact thus stated is apparent every
where. The scholar has small place In
college life The one who thinks OF the
debaters platform as q field of endeavoI
is counted amiably eccentric by the aver
age student. AS for earnest work with
books in the quiet of the room or in the
library, that is laughable. The mid.
night oil' idea has a different meaning

concerning the state of popular sentiment

there is no such regulative force there in
