Members of the Chicago Motor club
and hundreds of individual car own

maze of city streets. Several of the
competing cars are not very well
known in Chicago and were scanned
eagerly by the spectators. Among 9TH

IS JEFF PUTTING ONE OVER
ON The DEAR PEEPUL?

New York, July 14-Wonder what all
that Jeffries thing is about Don't
mean to say that it is another of those
press agent yarns, do you? Well,
whether Jen said he wouldn't fight
Johnson or he would 1t is high time
to put an. end to all tongue-waggfng by
placing some money and setting
definite date for meeting with the
black champion.
Naturally. JEFF has a right to howl If
this announcement was bunkiedoodle
from some busybody. But the good
old public has a right to know if JEFF
fries is honest about meeting Johnson.
We all expect a lot from jim, probably
more than he is capable of at this late
day, but it does seem that it is up to
him in all seriousness to set a date.
Plunking down a forfeit won't mean
half as much as it might. either. He
could place a forfeit with some one and
still duck the issue. All that he has
asked of the public is that we wait un-
til he determined whether he was fit.
He has been almost year determining
that. and as pugilism goes nowadays,
championships are won, lost and re-
gained at that time.
There is something queer about that
Montreal thing, and the impres sion

PAPKE AND
FLYNN IN
SECOND GO

Los Angeles, July 14.-Bnly Papke
and Fireman Jim Flynn meet tonight
at the Pacific A. c. in ten round
fight. This will be the second meeting
between thre big fellows, who are on
edge for the second of the EIks' week
pugilistic attractions
There is considerable III feeling be-
tween the pair as result of the first
encounter. Flynn was awarded the
popular verdict. decisions being for
hidden inside the city limits of Los An
geles, and Papze always has claimed
that this verdist was an nnfair one
It is believed that one of the largest
crowds that ever witnessed a ten round
fight here will be in attendance. Ket-
chel was matched originally to meet
Flynn tonight, but was forced to call
of the go on account Of injuries sus
tained in his fight with Papke.
Flynn will have a big advantage in
weight. He will enter the ring at
about $50 pounds, while Papke will
weigh about 162. Both of the husky
boxers are in frst-class condition.

men behind JEFF had put one over. That
sort of thing will do more to hurt Jeff
than 1t Will to boost him. So when he
gets into New York next week, let him
put up some money and set date.
Jimmy Coffroth is being urged on all
sides to pit Billy Papke and the now
discredited assassin together for the
fifth time The fans in Frisco would
like to see the middle-weight title
like to see the men in a forty flvc
round bout. and then the middle weight
title would be established. The press
of San Francisco seemed inclined to
think that Roche might have called it
a draw, and they quote several of the
hard losers as believing that Papke
won.
Nat Goodwin, who bet $4,000 against
$4,000 on Papke is out with a terrific
roar. He has been a pal of Roche's
for many years, and they say that he
will never speak to poor Bill again.
Little wonder, as no one likes to part
with $4,000.
From the reports we received in New
York 1t is hard to understand how they
figured Papke even for a draw. Even
in the last round, when Ketchel was
clearly blown from his previous ag-
gressiveness Papke ran or held for dear
life. He is afraid of KetcheI, and he
always viii be, though he appears much
stronger Let them fight the fifth
fight. It will settle itself

in the ninth, but the second would
have reflected discredit on the rankest
bush leaguers as far as Boston was
concerned. It was not so much the err
rors of commission which made the
game farcical. but the saffron back
stopping of Manager Bowerman, who
dropped three or four throws and 9th
erwise exemplifed how the catcher
should not play. He was aided and
abetted by Pitcher Mattern, who made
two successive wild pitches in the
seventh. permitting Evers and Sheckard
to stroll home.
The cubs scored three runs in the
first game to two for the doves. but the
Chicagoans walked away with the sec
ond, to 0. White and Pfester were
the pitchers in the first and the luck
broke right for the champions.

NELSON
OUTBOXE:D
LAST NIGHT

Los Angeles, Cal, July 14.-Ad VOL
CAST, the Milwaukee feather weight
outpointed Lightweight Champion Bat
Ting Nelson in a ten round battle be-
fore the Pacific A. c. last night. There
was no decision by the referee, but the
little fellow from Milwaukee was the
winner of the popular verdict
One of the largest crowds that ever
witnessed a fight in this city was jam
med into the big Maud Junction pa
vilion when the principals in the light
weight battle were called to the center
of the rng. There were hundreds of
the visiting Elks at the ringside and
they were rather evenly divided in
their support
The Milwaukee visitors were strong
for one stockily built youngster from
their home. Some of them went so far
as to back Wolgast to stay the limit
while a few even offered to bet that
the pride of the Cream City would
knock out Nelson and become the light
weight champion.
There was little betting, however, de-
spite all the talk, because OF the abb
sence OF a decision. Most of the fol-
lowers of the ring game figured that
the battle would go the limit. as the
lightweight champion has never been
known as a hurry-up fighter For that
reason the vagers on the general re-
suit were few and far between. There
we're few scattering bets at long odds
that Nelson would win inside the sched-
1led limit by the knockout route
Nelson had about six or seven pounds

Do Not Favor 1t.

American women are not unit in
favor of suffrage. Until they are, or
until so large proportion of them take
a stand in favor of the innovation there
is no reason to believe that more than
one or two Legislative bodies will seri-
ously consider it. The matter has been
submitted to Maine Legislatures sever
al times, but has never ben seriously
considered. Perhaps the only argu-
ment against it which the men of Maine
have needed to consider is that the wo-
men OF the state, as a whole not only
do not favor it, hut they are either in
different or are actively opposed there
to.
The English suffragette with her pen
chant for destroying the peace of pub
lie gatherings, making an exhibition of
herself on the street, rushing Parlia-
ment slapring policemen and breaking
prison rules and the American women
who ape their excuses have done much
to arouse q feeilng oil disgust WIN inc
whole proposition which bears fruit in
the shape of active opposition to the
propaganda.
The Remonstrance. a quarterly pub

that women are better protected in all
their rights and privileges without the
ballot than they would be if they had
the right of franchise, prints the fol-
lowing anent the situation:

OPTIMISM.

The business of this country has
again reached that stage known as
normal among conservative business
men, and in designating conditions as
normal the idea is conveyed that there
are no untoward influences operating
to prevent any particular line from de-
veloped earning power to it's capacity
The resume of the business reports
gathered last week by Duns Merchar-
tile Agency has in it note of optimism
and prosperity which should silence
forever the croakers who predicted dire
disaster as a result of the acts of the
last Congressional session. That the
confidence of heavy investors was no,
destroyed by the acts of our Supreme
legislative body is proven by the ag-
gressive forward movement all along
the line. These reports indicate "a
present and prospective increase in &C.
tivity that is Indicative of a return
to more than normal conditions
This optimistic declaration of future
prosperity in itself indicates that con.

fdence in the future which is SO es-
sentia.
Referring to the iron and steel trade
| Dun's Review says that, the outlook
for 1910 is 50 great that it is Impossible
to give an account of it that does not
seem to break through the bounds OF
conservative utterance." Continuing
prosperity is indicated by the reports
on the dry goods trade; the railroad
earnings for September: the entire alb
sense of idle cars; the bank clearings
which show extraordinary gains o!
81 10 per cent. over 1908 in New York
and u per cent. outside of New York;
the footwear market; the wheat mar
ket: the corn market and in all the
markets auxiliary thereto. Even the
failures in the United States, for the
week, number 1872 as against 256 last
year. Optimism itself is an asset in
any business situation. and optimism
backed by such conditions augurs well
for the future.

Their Attitude the Same.

| Maine Democrats have within few
| weeks come to the conclusion that 1T
would be wise move on their part 10
adopt a local option plank in the next
state campaign and stand squarely on
| that principle The stock argument OF
the active opponents of the Maine Pro-
hibitory Law is that it is not enforced,
and that a local option law would be en-
| forced. There is neither rhyme nor
| reason in such an assertion nor is
there anything in the experience or
other states or cities which warrants
| it. We have at hand clipping from
the Spok Review, printed IN the
citv If Spokane in the State of Wash
ington. where there exists at the pres
ent time a law which forbids the sale OF
Intoxicating liquors to men who nave
been declared by the courts to be habi-
tual drunkards. So mild an effort to
regulate the sale of intoxicating liquors
would seem to have so much of reason
ana POOu Judgment cIi it' 'AN'N eAis'e e'i'
man who engages in the sale of intoX-
icating liquors would gladly refrain
from breaking or disregardins ii in his
own interests.
That human nature is no different in
Washington than in other parts of the
country is proven by a notice issued
from the prosecuting attorneys office
warning saloon keepers that hereafter
saloon men must not sell liquor to
men branded as habitual drunkards in
notices issued by court order. New no.
tees naming the men who have been
50 adjudged have been issued and serv-
ed on all the saloon keepers in Spo-
kane County and the responsible cit
liens of the County are promised
rigid enforcement of the law. The
matter is carried a little further under
a recent ruling which provides that in
spite of the fact that the law does not
permit pictures of the men adJudSed
habitual drunkards, or as they term
them in that country "SiWashed'' men,
vet the saloon keeper may be fined and
prisoned for selling liquor to the men
named whether he knows them to be
on the prohibited list or not. With
this Interpretation it is the saloon
keepers place to keep informed as to
the black listed men. 1t is another
case in which the county or prosecuting
attorney feels it incumbent upon him to
warn the saloon keepers not to continue
breaking the law; a situation not very
much different from that found in some
prohibtory states. The fact of the
matter is that a law to regulate the
liquor traffic is opposed by those whose
pocket books will be affected, it makes
no difference what the degree of reg
ulation. Regulation is as strenIously
and assiduously opposed as is prohib-
itiOn.
