HOW JEFF GOT INTO NEW GAME
One Story Told of His Entering
Managerial Career.

SoANS
LOS ANGELES, Cal, July 4-Not long
ago a group of sporting men were gathered
around q table in Jim Jeffries' cafe on
Spring street, when the talk turned on the
champions permanent cessation of ring
activities. 81 hate to do It," said Jeff, for
I love to be around fighters. But l whip
ped everything they had, so it's q for the
glove game so far as big Jim is concerned"
That was a chance for Baron Long. a new
conner to the southern California metropo-
lis, and he was not slow in grasping It.
Jeff, what's the matter with the promo
torial part Of it?' he queried. You could
start a club and put on shows around here
that would certainly please" Jeffries is
slower in thought than he is in the ring
action. and he pondered over the subject
before making a reply. Finally he turned
to Long and said; There's so much
.crookedness, or talked of crookedness. con-
nected with the business, baron, that I'll
have to be shown some way where 1t can
be absolutely above suspicion before I'll
tackle it."
Long came back strong. Easiest thing
in the world, Jim Wen start the club and
make you president and referee, and then
you will be right in a position to nip in the
bud anything that looks the least bit
shady" Jeff stayed up late that night
threshing out his subject with Long, but
the next day found him convinced, and the
Jeffries Athletic club was the result. And
now that he was broken into harness
again, only in a different way, the greatest
fighter the world ever knew is making as
good as he did when wearing the gloves.

from Lincoln today in easy fashion by the
scores Of u to 4 and 4 to 0. Little Johnny

the first game and the Sioux stung him
for four hits, which, with a couple OF
errors. netted five runs in the first inning
Captain Fox sent him to the stable ana
put in Johnson. the Indian. but he proved
as easy as Jones. for the Sioux played
brilliant ball and amassed twelve runs be-
fore the game was over. Andreas stole
home in the eighth. Freeman was on the
slab for the Sioux in the afternoon game
and besides striking out eight men was hit
only five times, two of them being
scratches. Count Bonno, who started to
patch for Lincoln, was benched by the UNI
pare at the beginning of the game for dis
putting a decision when Campbell was
passed to first. Jones was sent in and
proved more effective than in the morn
ing game. Sioux City scored two In the

CURE FOR RAILROAD FATALITIES
director of Maintenance Krutt'

THAT the accident record OF American
railroads. even though there Is popularity
included In u much that does not belong
there. Is appalling. no one will deny, GER
tainiy not the officials whose duty IL is
10 operate these railroads and TO whom
the fearful cost Of life makes its daily and
hourly appeal. The latest official figures
widely published on the authority OF the
Interstate Commerce commission-are IA
mlllar. but none the less astonishing. They
show that 1O,6is persons were killed and
7.7Oe injured during the last year officially
reported,' writes Julius Kruttschnitt, d.
rector Of maintenance and operation Of the
Union Pacific system and the Southern
pacific company, in the July Appleton's.
yet appalling as these totals are, It Is,
In my opinion. the duty Of railroad man

They concern us all, railroad men and
public alike. They point 20 conditions
which ought to be remedied. What every
railroad official must wish to do Is to en-
list the cooperation of the public In a
duty which the railroads are making earn
est efforts to fulfil, but in which, so far,
they have not had the hearty cooperation
which Is necessary from the public.
''The first step must be a clearer un.

to one hopeful fact and clear way mis-

more frequent. As a matter Of fact, on the
railroad with which 1 am most familiar,
the Union Pacific, not only the percentage
Of accidents, but also the absolute number
Of accidents has ben reduced. In 1906 the
number of employees, passengers and otheri
killed in all accidents was ia; in 1907 Il
was lO5. Similarly the number injured was
reduced from 1883 In 1905 to 1.1N in 1867
Yet in the same time the number Of pas
sengers carried increased by 1851 per cent,
or, stated in technical terms, this reduction
in accident was accomplished in the face
of an increased traffic equal to ls2,52S,0S

be said in passing that the betterment wai
