tial nomination IN the year named, and
II he had not offended al his low tariff
friends IN his fight against the Morrison
bin be might have been made the party
candidate. He had the Pennsylvania
state convention adopt his idea In its
platform-the retention Of all high tariff
schedules and the abolition Of the internal
revenue taxes on whisky and tobacco.
The national conventions met not long
after the defeat OF the Morrison ''hOr-
izontal' bill. Both parties pledged them
selves 20 a revision OF the tariff. The
Democrats won. and the first session Of
the Forty-ninth Congress found William
R. Morrison again chairman OF the Ways
and Means Committee. This time the
Democrats had about forty majority IN
the House. Morrison introduced another
tariff bill. and irs was fayorably reported
TO the House. Just as the ''horzontaP'
bin had been. But It got shorter shrift
even than had been accorded 20 the nor
iZOntal' measure. When that bin was
pending the plea most heard against II
was that II made a fat reduction, and
was not scientific. logical. or polite The
second bin did not make a horizontal re-
duction. but considered each article on
its merits. When II came TO the matter
OF taking Il up for consideration. Mr..
Morrison moved that the House so into
Committee OF the Whole for that purpose
Here was the first test vote, and. as
afterward developed. the only vote. BY
Isl to 40. a Democratic House, with a
clear majority 0f forty. refused even TO
discuss the measure, and the tariff Ques-
ton was q dead one in the FOrty-ninth
Congress.
strangeSas It may seem 70 the average
reader, neither OF these bills was intro
duced with any serious hope that II would
become a law. The Senate was safely
Republican. and was standing pat on the
high tarif OF 1859 But the idea was 10
get the House 70 pass a bill which could
be set IN opposition TO the prevailing
tariff. In other words. such action would
AFFORD a definition to the tariff policies OF
the two parties. and the question would
thus be made the political issue before
the country. Everybody knew that even
II the Morrison bills should get through
the House they had no chance Of negO-
tiating a successful passage through the
Senate. In fact, Senate pigeon hole
was then staring them in the face
The House vote on the Morrison bill
demonstrated one thing: That the country
was for protection, and that Il wanted
higher duties than had been levied before
the civil war Although II was plaus-
| ibly argued that II protection was the
success Il was represented TO be. the
/ manufacturers OF the country ought 10
/ be able to get along with less OF Il as

had been reached. and now came the
upward turn that should eliminate IN

come.
But the talk in the newspapers and
the talk that Johnson gave out about
wanting a fight with the retired white
man served the purpose well. Jeff be-
gan to fairly coin money from the day
that Johnson landed in this country.
he early secured the latest sort of a
theatrical contract for a protracted
period, and since then the money has
continued to fairly roll into the JEFF
fries Golfers
Since Jeff couldn't handle all of the
big money that he fought for and won
in the days OF his earlier career, or at
least could not hold nto any of it, it
is small wonder that the sh1ewd Mrs
Jefries took the manager ent of t e
nucleus of a second Jeffries torture
into her own hands and told Jeff that
she and she alone would do the finan-
ciering in the future
So it is a safe assumption that it
will be in the future a case of never
again for Jeffries, as far as being
broke is concerned. The money is
being gathered in in Plentiful ri es
right now, and doubloons are bei~ g
laid away where they will last long
time. And that there is a silt of
that juicy 100000 purse coming, you
know, which will help out whole lot

HOCKEY GAME
IS CALLED OFF

NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-The Pennsyl-
vania- Cornell hockey game, scheduled
for today at the ST. Nicholas rink, has
been declared Off This action was
taken by the authorities at the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania and is the
cause of great regret in this city The
rivalry between these two institutions
has always been of the keenest, and
the contest on the ice was being look
ed forward to with much anticipation.
Cornell was willing to pay the
game, but the Quakers did not want to
come to this city to play only one
match. They desired series of two
or three games, and this the manage
ment of the rink could not permit be
cause of a lack of dates.

Plenty of sleep plays a big part in
the training of most of the successful
athletes of today. While some few of
the great performers we see competing
in the different events get along with a
short allowance of slumber, it is clear
lv noticeable that the ones who insist
on spending goodly portion of their
time in the feathers are in the large
majority Sleep has more to do with
the showing the men make than any
thing else. There il no rule govern
ing what the men shall eat, each man
using his own judgment; but with
sleep-every trainer insists on his men
getting a full portion of that.
Jumpers, especially, benefit by long
sessions of siumber. 1t is scientific
fact that a man lengthens. or grows,
by staying in bed. A boy lying in bed
with typhoid fever has been known to
add six inches to his height in a few
weeks. Jumpers find that the carti-
lagos in the knees and the cushions OF
the heels expand and become more
springy if given a long rest. They take
advantage of every opportunity to take
the weight off their feet.
Ray Ewry and Prinstein, the greatest
jumpers we have, both long ago formed
the habit of putting their feet at an
elevation whenever the chance offered
Roth are men who insist on having an
abundance of sleep. The night pe1ore

blows on the face and body. In hot

with a left hand punch.
When the twelfth and last round
opened, Lang rushed F'itzsimmonS to
the ropes and floored him with right

F'itzsimmOns took the count of nine
and rose groggy. Lang was at him
tiercely as soon as he regained his

right uppercut on the jaw, sent him
down and out.

the cartilage pads of his knees.
When Mike SWEENEY established
new worlds record for the high jump
it was said that he had been in bed
for three days, just taking things
easy. Dan Ahearn is another jumper
who believes in always getting all the
sleep possible, while Martin Sheridan
who is also a crack at the hop, step
and jump, did AZ feet after being forced
by Trainer Lawson Robertson to take
a 12-hour nap.
Sheridan and Sheppard both get
along without more than few hours
of sleep. Sometimes Sheridan goes
for DAYS with only a couple Of hours
rest a night, making up for lost time
by putting in Is to 20 hours straight.
It is a wonderful thing the way the
greatest athlete in the world gets along
SO we'll with such utter irregularity Oh
sleeping hours.
John Flanagan goes to bed early and
fails to rise before noon on the day OF
a trial at his worlds hammer throw
ing records. Ralph Rose, the Califor-
MIA shot putter, lived so long In the
balmy climate of the Napa foothllis
that he formed the habit Of long sies-
tas during his kid days.
Arthur Duffy and Harry Hillman
both believe strongly in sleep. BEFORE
every race it was the regular thing
for Duffy to take a ten-minute nap.
Hillman, on the other hand, would rest
up during the afternoons before COM
peting in the armories at night.
Harry Haywood moved to New York
from New Jersey few days ago be-
cause he found that the trip at night
deprived him of several hours in bed.

CHICAGO, Dec. 27.-Jim Jeffries

# has just developed that Mrs JEFF
fries has arranged in a quiet way
e-ary move that has meen made by the
biq fellow in his negotiations with the
.o,ored champion, and when the time
came Tor opening up the purse strings
and posting forfeits it was Mrs. Jeff
that produced the coin.
OF course Sam Berger was known
throughout as the agent of the retired
champion, but in rcaity it was Mrs.
Jeffries who attended to all the d tails
Indeed it is said that no move can be
made at any time unless she is first
consulted.
Whether she has found in the past
that Jeffries is bad manager or tina
il has been discovered that she is a
much better one, remains for one or
the other to tell. Perhaps it is a mat
ter that is not in the least interest
ing to he public. but the public prob
ably will be Interested to know mat a
woman cuts such a decided though
mobtrusive part in the negotiations
for the biggest pugisiltic encounter in
the history of the game.
All of this brings up the matter of
finances and recalls the fact that 1t was
really mighty lucky day for Jim JEFF
fries that Jack Johnson trimmed Tom
nv Burns so neatly in their fight in
Australia. 1t was limited broadly at
the time that Jeff was about as
fat as a man can be without actual

blow to the jaw, and, when he arose,
sent him to the floor senseless with
a right hand uppercut.
Fitzsimmons had not appeared in
the ring in Australia since he left
here many years ago, and when he
climbed through the ropes today he
was given a great reception. The vet
eran 'ooked to be in sp endid condition
after his long period of preparation.
The fight opened rather tamely, Lang
showing his extreme nervousness. He
was frequently hooted for holding in
the cli~ches and frequently butting

JEFF WILL MAKE MISTAKE
If HE CHANGES HIS STYLE

ger He became slugger. but a very
light hitter.
When he met Jeffries that night in
Frisco he was neither clever nor
strong He was a gawk. The biggest
boob that ever pulled on a pair of
tights could have beaten Jim that
night. When the bell rang jeff walked
over and popped Corbett right upon
the nose. sending him up against the
ropes with the blood pouring from his
nostrils. Jim was so surprised that
he ran the moment he collected his
senses
He looked like a lad just learning to
box. Jeff looked like Jem Driscoll to
the crowd The comparison was awful.
There was Corbett, muscle bound and
slow. Think of Jim Corbett with his
great reputation for cleverness. being
outboxed He was never in it for
minute. He lost everything when he
threw away his speed and cleverness
to become strong.
Jeffries now threatens to become
clever boxer. He thinks because he is
going up against the speedy black that
he shall become a boxer, too. He feels
that he is strong enough, that he has
all the punch, but he wants speed to
catch Johnson and outlook him.
Billy Madden says that jeff is maxi
ing the mistake of his life in doing this.
You can't take a fighter and make
him a boxer" says Madden. They
tried it with McGovern when he fought
Corbett Terry was not ushed. He
was accustomed to tear in and fear
nothing. When he tried to box Cor
bett he made a joke of 1t.
"Jeffries will never be Jim Corbett
in cleverness. He crouches and is al
together too heavy. Jeff won his fights
by battering his man down. He Will
never beat Johnson with cleverness; he
needs the strength and the wallop. L
think he will make the biggest mistake
of his life if he tries to hit and get
away instead of the old slam-bang
style he has used

New York. Dec. 27-Reports from
different parts of the country inform
us that Jim Jeffries is gathering all
the big clever men that he can for his
training, which will begin in March,
Jeff intends to become clever for the
fight with Johnson. just as Jim Cor
bett tried to become strong for his last
fight with Jeffries
Every once in a while you hear some
sport follower, in speaking IF Jeff's
cleverness say, Why, he actually out
boxed Corbett in their last fight
Very true, Jeff did outlook the famous
Corbett. Outboxed him, out punched
him and beat him every inch of the
way. Corbett made the fatal mistake
of throwing away what he had for
something that he never could get.
IF can only get punch" said Cor
bett in his training quarters, I'll beat
him surely. l have the speed and the
cleverness; all need is the punch and
the strength to hold that big fellow
back. If l had had a punch wht we
met at Coney Island I'd have knocked
him cold
Jim hired big Yank Kenney to wres-
tie and box with him, and along with
"Yank" had the greatest collection OF
sandbags, dumbells, weights and medl-
cine balls ever seen at Crolrs gardens
where he worked. No man ever worked
harder than Jim Corbett did for that
fight. He always was a hard worker
hut this time he really felt that he
would beat Jeff and trained like a de-
mon.
He threw 25 pound sandbags every
day for half an hour, firing out every
one in the gym He pushed and maui
ed big Kenney, bumped the 30O-poulit
bag of oats, worked the pulleys witt
heavy weights and tossed iron bar:
big enough to break an elephants back
He wanted muscle; he longed for the
punch; but all the while he was sac
rificing his speed. Jim didn't dance
and tap him when he boxed. III

If the recent games of the Columbia
university basketball team can be TAX
en- as q criterion as to what the team
can do when forced, it surely looks as
if the wearers of the blue and white
will be a big factor in the fight for the
eastern intercollegiate championship
this season. Columbia's most recent
victory was over Penn state in New
York by a score of 10 to Is. The way
the Pennsylvania started things os~
was a complete surprise to the Column
bians. and the visitors had an advan-
tage before the game was under way
two minutes. 1t took the Blue and
White players the greater part of the
