MURPHY AND CROSS
GET EVEN BREAK

New York. Sept 3-Tommy Muir
ply, the pride Of Harlem and Leach
Cross. the dentist fighter. who has
made rapid strides UP the pugilistic
ladder. fought six of the fastest and
most sensational rounds ever seen
around here at the Navarro A. G.
Wednesday night, and at the finish
honorS We're even.
1t was a case of the clever finished
fighter against the slow. clever hitter,
and the finesse of-the former could noi
overpower the persistency of the OPP
poSite
The showing Of Cross was great
surprise even to his most ardent adj
mirers. In his battle for recognition
he met some good men. but tonight
it was his first occasion to mix wal
lops with one of the top-notchers
Murphy tried all his tricks which took
years of study to.fearn. His lightning
uppercut would land on the point Of
Cross jaw. but the dentist would only
shake his head and dive into the fray
for more.

who was to met BARLEY Connolly. the
Maine welterweight champion, at Low
els hall Wednesday night in le-
round go. had manifestly an attack Of
faint heart as soon as he caught sight
lf Connolly in the hall, and Manager
Galley was unable to induce him TO 60
on.
A crowd of 800 was present Galley
offered to give Killeen all the money
in the hall if Connolly failed TO stop
hIn in four rounds but the Rosccmmon
Lcxer was not anxious to go up against
the Main" boy. and left the nall.
1t was announced that Connolly is to
meet Joe Walcott at Portland Monday
night to settle the WelterWeight cham
rlonship. and that he will sail oct. )

There was stiff siX-round setto be
tween Scotty Cohen and Tommy Web
her. both of Portland 1t was a draw.
although Weber in the last three
rounds had the advantage over Cohen
by reason of his longer reach and his
hacking away from Cohen'S ruSEcS,
only to punish the latter with repeated
blows over the kidneys in the clinches.
Webber also had a wicked left hand
unch which he used occasionally on
Cohen's wind.

MRS. CAMERON ENTERTAINED.

That a little nonsense now and
then is relished by the Wenatchee Ia
dies was proved at the home of Mrs.
w. P. Cameron yesterday afternoon,
when she entertained in honor of Mrs
Mccoy. After chat around the fire
place an original guessing game-as
easy as pie-amused the ladies, and
made them think hard. Mrs. Henry
was considered the best guesser and
received a pretty Haviland pie plate.
A less fortunate guesser was present
ed with tin pie plate, with the en-
gravei inscription, "Pie-face, you're
in disgrace, you didn't win the race. y
Just before refreshments, the ladies
were asked to draw the pictures of
the different ladies. These were the
cause of much merriment and were
used afterwards as place cards.
Lunch was served in prettily decorat-
ed tables in the dining-room. Miss
Grimshaw assisted Mrs. Cameron in
serving.

Throw EN- Down Babies.

81 wonder" unused the young father,
what there is in a baby's makeup
that prompts him to drop things. It
isn't really dropping, thoughts
throwing. My baby Is good about
sleeping and behaving when there is
company, but everything he can snatch
he Immediately filings to the floor. I've
noticed and known lot of others, too,
who do the same thing. It's not only
the joy of throwing, but the delight In
seeing somebody pick the stuff up.
Babies certainly seem to take fiend.
ish delight in watching their fathers
and mothers or nurses pick up the
toys and other things which they
throw out of their beds, carriages and
chairs. My boy used to be quite pleas
ed with a rubber toy attached by a
string to his carriage so that it just
escaped the ground. He would grin
and dargle it for hours. Now he yells
as soon as he discovers it is fastened,
and the minute we give it to him loose,
bang, it goes on to the ground, while
he laughs aloud in his joy There's
probably reason, and the psycholo-
gists will discover it some day."-Ex-

Although the mystery concerning
Tibet has been mostly dissipated as a
result of the English invasion. the Gu
rious nature of that country continues
to excite great interest. Think of an
inhabited land covering between 7OO,-
600 and 100000 square miles and hav-
Ing mean elevation exceeding 16.4O0
feet, which is considerably higher
than Mont Blanc! The loftiest peaks
reach an altitude of about 10000 feet,
while the deepest valleys. In tie high
er parts of the plateau. do not descend
below 14,40O feet. which is higher
than Pixies peak. Toward the south
the valleys sink lower, and rice and

The Holy Grail.

From book reviewed a passage is
quoted in which mention is made of
1.-THE holy grail, the sang-real or true
blood of God" This used to be a COM
mon mistake, and SO learned a man
as Thomas Warrior in his Remarks
on Sponsors limitations From Old Ro-
mances" writes, 1.-THE holy grale, that
Is the real blood Of our Blessed
Saviour" But this is wrong. 1t is
the holy grale, or vessel, and does not
mean real blood, though it contained
the real blood, collected by Joseph of
Arinathea. 1t was made from dia-
mond and emerald which fell from the
crown of Satan when he fought with
Michael NJ de Villemarque, who has
written about Armoric legends, says
that this jewel was a diamond. The
word greal is old French, as l under
stand, for l have no knowledge my
self that it is so. In the legend Of
Percival it is shown that the grail is
a vessel. 1.-The holy grailv Percivai
heard whispered by one voice after
another. Then from the shining YES
sci streamed an endless supply of the
costliest dishes and wines" -London
