LOS ANGELES. Cal. March 4.-If a de-
cision were allowed under the new boxing
ordinance of this city. the only one which
would have been lust to both Jimmy Britt
and Battling Nelson for the ten-round
bout they fought last night would have
been a draw. The men went the full dis
lance under full speed, Britt chopping
away at the Danes face and Nelson using
his old boring-in tactics. but in all fair
ness it must be said that neither one had
anything on the other when the final
balancing of their accounts was due.
The crowd which Witnessed the bout
was about evenly divided in sentiment

a definite outcome of the bout. the draw
was very satisfactory, as it was game

but when he stopped it was to send in a
fierce chop with his right which sent the
Danes head around In the first round
Britt began with two to the face, Nelson
missed hard swing and cleverly covered.
Britt tapped Nelson in the face and
danced away from a vicious uppercut.
Britt followed with half dozen rights
and lefts to the face and jaw. 1t was
Jimmy's round.
Nelson got away with a shade of the
second by dint of working two to the
kidneys and whipping them up. That
ended the whipping business, for the
Frisco lad covered so cleverly in the
clinches that Nelson was unable to do
much damage.

inferior to Robe. Another accuses the
"Old Roman" of ingratitude in turning
down the blond inner gardener after he
had practically won the worlds cham
pionship for the Sox in the fall of 1906.
Another writer goes a step farther, and
after walloping "COmmy' for promising
to retain Robe as long as he desired to
play ball. and then turning him into the
bushes within a year after the promise
is made. pulls the dope to show just how
great Rohe was. in the worlds series. He
writes:
The passing of Robe from big league
ball creates as much surprise as his work
in the 1906 worlds series. when the Chi
cago Sox won. 1t was largely through
Rohe's fine work that the championship
was captured. His work in the series was
as follows:
Games. 8: at bat. 81 runs, 3 hits. 4; sacrifice
hits. o; put outs. assists. is; errors, 3; stolen
bases. 2: two-base hits. 1; three-base hits ..
Rohes batting was a feature of the
series. Two of his long clouts won as
many games. His batting averages was
1888, as high as any made in the series.

Appropriate Sentiment.

Many years ago the energetic
Professor Schwarz was conducting
a musical society. They were study
ing Mendelssohn's Elijah" and had
reached the chorus, 'Hear us, Baal !;
hear, mighty god"
The mems voices were booming
out sonorously when the conductor
cried out: "No, no! De dreadful
vowel! Don't say Bale. Soften
a leetle. Give de more musical
sound-Ball"--
Whereupon the chorus took up
the strain again, Hear us Bawl-
hear US Bawl!" But they quickly
realized the peculiar fitness of the
sentiment and broke down in laugh
ter, to the great amazement of the
little German, who never saw the
joke, but who returned reluctantly
to the old pronunciation.

Inspired HuSilerS.

You don't know what an inspira
ton is: Well, We will tell YOU. 1t is
Al inclination to do some worthy
thing and to DO it in masterful
sort of way. 1t is thought with
the steam up. You feel impelled to
30 particular thing, and to do it
now, Inspired persons live neither in
the past nor the future, but .hey oc-
cupy the present in very large
way. They leave the dead years and
and the unborn tomorrows to the
has-wasers and the dreamers. In
spired men and women desire to do
creditable things in creditable way.
There isn't anything perfunctory
or casual about an inspiration; it is
ahree-ply, all wool, 'steen yards
with impulse TO deliver the goods.
An ir .2iration is an irresistible
impulse 10 do things. 1t is all ac-
ton. There is no getting away from
1t: it is diffusive, it spreads, circu-
astes, permeates. But before one can
DE much of an inspirator, or the
debator in staff meeting, he has
to be in harmony with the
tsasiness, in accord with the company
and feeling on pretty good terms
with himself. A rebuff dosen't un.
horse the inspired solicitor. People
occasionally say "nasty things" to
him, bat the iron doesn't enter his
soul: he doesn't take the stuff away
with him; he cuts it out; it wasn't
personal, anyway,
When the enthusiasm of tie Cru
saders waned, they got together,
sang and prayed and the INSPIRATION
Of contact rekindled the fires OF
their enthusiasm. All thought is by
external suggestion. Inspiration
comes by contact with persons OF
larger knowledge of, and more abid-
ing faith in, men and conditions.
Think failure and it reacts on your
prospect" He reads it in your face.
Look we'll to your associatio ns-the
source of your thought. Keep keyed
