LAYS BLAME TO
SPORTING MEN

New York, Sept. 21.-The astonishing
statement was made this afternoon by
a high county official that the calling
of of the Langford- Ketchel fight,
scheduled for last Friday night at the
Fairmont Athletic club, was really in
stituted by weIl-known local sporting
men who feared for their bets.
The truth about this affair has not
yet been printed" said this man to a
reporter LAS a matter of fact Ket-
chel the favorite. hurt his arm in
training, or at least a report that he
had hurt his arm was circulated quiet
~ There happened to be a group of
men prominent around Forty-second
street and Broadway who had wagered
big sums Of money on Ketchel to win.
Fearing that if their man went into
the ring with a crippled arm he would
be licked by the negro. these men set
to work deliberately to break up the
bout. They succeeded in arousing GER
tain anti-hght advocates without let
ting their interest in the matter be
known to the reform element. and as a
result strong representations were
made to the governor that the law was
| about to be violated.

KETCHEL SPEEDS FOR JOHNSON;
WORKS FOR BIG BATTLE

of a battle. There was a healthful
glow to his cheeks that left no doubt
as to his condition and a sincerity in
his talk that spoke Of world of con-
fidence in his ability to whip Johnson.
He stated that he weighed 100 pounds
with his street clothes on and that
he intended to go into the ring weigh
ing $50 when he meets Johnson.
Through his official mouthpiece, Will
lus Britt. the champion of the middle
weights allowed as follows:
"Ill whip Johnson just as sure as we
get into the ring. He can't stand pun
ishment of any sort and the kind I am
going to deal out to him is going to be
of the extraordinary brand, ] am going
to wade into him and beat him down
with body punches. He isn't the gamest
fellow in the world and does not carry
as hard a punch as I do.
When I get through with the cham
pion Oct II there will be no necessity
of Jeffries re-entering the ring, because
the job that the big alfalfa farmer has
been training for at Carlsbad viii have
been done

odds and if they suit me 1 am going tC

NO CUB-SOX
NEGOTIATIONS
Challenge Now Ungentle-
manly" Says Commy.

There have been ag yet no negotia-
tions relative to series for the city
championship between the cubs and
sox. President Comiskey yesterday de-
clared the National league champions
were too game bunch to be counted
out yet. and that as long as they had a
physical chance of winning the pen
nant he would not consider 1t the part
of a gentleman to challenge the west
siders on behalf of the south side team.
President Murphy of the cubs said he
was anxious to have his team meet the
sox. who, he predicted, would give
the champions a much harder battle
than did Detroit, but he preferred not
to act unless it became impossible to
land another flag on the west side.

The maroon rooters. prepared for the
annual gloom, were too surprised to
cheer at the auspicious getaway. with
Stage handing out optimistic dope"
and two dozen warriors more than liv-

came out to see the doings carried

to last at least until the eve Of the first

very little dead weight was noticed.

PARTIALITY TOWARDS SONS,

The partiality which mothers are
supposed to show to their sons-and
which some mothers certainly do show
may do little harm in the earlier
years Of family life, when the father,
perhaps, balances it by special fond
ness for his daughters, and when the
buoyancy Of youth carries such injus-
tice lightly. But on daughters Of ma
ture age it often bears very heavily.
The lot Of the unmarried woman on
whom falls the care, and even the
maintenance Of widowed and aging
mother is a laborious and exaeting
one. Many such women there are, as
every one acquainted with our cities
knows, working hard all day and
struggling to carry home evening
cheer to one who makes less effort
than she might to greet them brightly.
There is another who comes on q fly
ing visit now and then, bringing
gift none too generous, but seeming
large because it is received all in one
sum, and on him the mothers appre-
citation and gratitude are lavished.
When he is gone, his advice, proffered
without much knowledge Of real con-
ditions, is quoted and urged. with an
insistence discouraging to the sister,
and even the contrast between his light
hearted merriment and her serious
ness is harped upon. There are sad.
der cases still where the money earn
ed by self-sacrif1cing daughter is
persistently shared with reckless
and improvident son, and-bitterest
of ALT is to the perpetually return
ing prodigal that the warmest affec-
ton seems to go. Habits like these
can hardly be corrected, perhaps, in
age. But mothers in younger life
should be on their guard against form
ing neutrality-suspicious..

The recent conference in Washing

dren accomplished much, if only
the capitalization Of the sentiment
Of the several hundred notable
sociologists that the use of IN
situations for such children should
be but temporary, until homes
could be found for them. Now if
pulpiteers and charity workers gener-
ally could instill into the minds Of
the people that check to an institu-
tuition will not meet their response
bilities, but that those who are able
to give actual personal care to I'M
fortunate waits in their own homes
should do so, great betterment must
result. 1t it not entirely sufficient to
consider that only the "childless
home' is derelict in its duty, but
even the homes which have children
should, in thousands Of instances be
able to little more. The charity
that takes and trains the orphaned
boy or girl, and fits him or her for
useful and happy life, is not the
charity that pauperizes. A good home,
although poor one so far as material
wealth is concerned, is better than
the most magnificent institution for
the child. Nor is benefit to him the
only happy outcome, for always does
the child confer more happiness
than he receives. That grown-up
who is not taking care of child or
so, or, by special dispensation Of
partial Providence, dozen or two, is
missing, for all the care and trouble
and anxiety they cause, the best part
