JEFFRIES is FAVORITE;
ODDS ARE FICTITIOUS
No Reason Why White Man Should
Be Two to One This Early In
the Game.

Jeffries and Johnson are now tied
up with theatrical dates and the pub
lie may expect their press agents to
keep it informed of their doings, some
real. some otherwise One of the first
was about a boxing bout between
Jeffries and Sam Berger in which Sam
BACKED the former champions eye.
Usually the blacking is done by the
hero, but this time the press agent
fixed it up so that he could show
Berger hiding from the alfalfa king"
for 20 minutes until he obtained a
promise that jeff wouldn't kill him.
Johnson and his auto speed mania
is good for an item about twice a
week. The big black has a 72-mile an
hour machine. Some judge will send
him to Jail one of these days and
Johnson VIII cut out the speed 5usi-
ness. He cares nothing for 500 Sne
and delights in peeling century note
off a big roll containing four or five
thousand dollars and paying his fine.
Even with tho proposed bout ap.
proximately eight months distant the
question of betting On the result has
already been takel; up. The day the
articles were signed the Johnson side
refused to make the large side bet
on the ground that "Jeffries will prob
ably be 2-to-1 favorite, and we want
ring-side Odds"
Why should Jeff be such a ridicu.
lous favorite? Six years will have
elapsed since he engaged in a battle.
While the preliminary training he
has INDUCED in the past fe wmonths
may have encouraged him and his
manager, Berger, to believe he could
come back" it is entirely too early
to tell much about it. Remember that,
as a rule, they don't come back
after long period of idleness, and
many star has tried it.
Don't bet dollar on the bout either
way at this early date. No mat
ter what price is quoted, the
odds will be fictitious. 1t will be i'm
possible to quote safe price either
way until it is known how good JET
fries can get. This cannot be found
out until he has been in training sew
eral weeks.

WHO is COL. BOGEY ANYWAY?
Imaginative Golf Foe Originated %
Years Ago-Suggested by

BONG.
Much curiosity has been manifested
by golfers in general as to the origin
of Col. Bogey, and how this magma
tive foe came to life. The Liverpool
Sunday Times gives the following
version as to his origin:
The name of DOGGY" was suggested
by song which had a great vogue at
one time and the pricipal theme of
which was summed up in the words
Hush. Hush! Hush! Here comes
the DOGGY mani" In the United Serv-
ices club at Portsmouth the then new
form of competition became very pop
ular. 1t was decided that DOGGY"
would have to be elected to member
ship as a scratch player of the club,
and service rank being indispensable
for membership. DOGGY" was made
colonel.
This is the generally accepted ex-
PLANTATION of the mystic masters ap-
pearance in golf, and, for the greater
part it is doubtless correct But as
to the place of birth, Col Hamilton
makes an interesting statement He
says that the first contest against
DOGGY" took place on the links of
the Royal Isle of Wight club 90 years
ago, the deviser being Capt Walker
Reid, R. N, an original member of
the club and then in charge of the
Hasler hospital. On the wall of the
pavilion at Bembridge is a picture by
c. J. Jacobs of Capt. Reds first match
with the ready-made scratch man, and
at the back of the picture are the
press notices of the time concerning
the captain and his protege.

Eating for Strength.

The greatest pleasure to be de-
rived from eating is the pleasure one
gets in the knowledge that his food is
giving him greater strength and vi
tality.
Because of this fact there is a con-
slant increase in the consumption of
Quaker Oats; every time the strength
making qualities of Quaker Oats have
been tested by scientific investigation
or by experiments in families it has
been found to be a food without an
equal
1t builds the muscles and brain with
out taxing the digestive organs; it
costs so little anyone can afford it,
and it is so carefully prepared and
packed that it is absolutely pure and
clean. A Quaker Oats eating family
is always a healthy family. II
Quaker Oats is packed in regular
size packages and also in large size
family packages. The latter very con-
venient for those not near the store.

HE DISCOVERED THE CULPRIT
Announcement of School Principal
Not at All Comforting to the
Teacher.

One of the women teachers went to
the principal of school in Queens
borough the other day. "Mr. Mark"
she said, II think you had better go
upstairs. A substitute teacher is on
duty up there, and l am afraid she
is having terrible time. The noise
is so terrific the children down here
scarcely can study"
The principal went up the stairs two
steps at time, and the noise soon
ceased. When he returned to the
lower room his face was grim. Miss
Henderson" he said, "if you hear any
more of those noises let me know at
once"
Indeed I will" she replied cit is
simply outrageous that parents should
bring their children up SO they will
behave that way. Did you find out
who the children were?"
Yes, l found out" the principal
said, scowlingly. Zone is your nephew
and the other is my son." he replied,
and the woman teacher almost col

Its the failure of the foreign

TALK OF LONGER SEASON.
Murphy of Chicago Cubs Favors 1t
While Herman of Cincinnati
Opposes Plan.

President Murphy of the Cubs has
put himself on record as favoring a
longer season of baseball. The pres
ent season of 154 games begins April
Is and ends the first week in October,
while the players are under contract
from April Is to October Is.
Il can't say just how many games
I would favor" he said. "But it seems
to me that the season ought to be ex.
tended to cover the period the players
contracts cover.
'The term of the contracts with the
players cannot be changed, because
many of the men are under agree.
ments covering terms of years, and
the contracts could not readily be
amended. But the club owners, with
their expense OF maintenance and op-
Grafton, running from April Is to Oc-
tober Is, ought TO be allowed to have
games during this time from October
3 or to October Is, as I cannot see
force in any arguments against length

President august Hermann of the
Cincinnati Reds is against the length
ening of the season.
There are several reasons why the
scheme won't work." he said. This
change in the arrangement of dates
that is, to the 18th of October instead
of to the end of the worlds series or
the frightening of the year until the
weather would be too bad for those
events.
"Any way, the positions are pretty
nearly determined by the first of Oc-
tober, and therefore the longer sea-
son would mean little to any one, ex-
cept frightening of the suspense. I
don't think the season will be changed,

THANKSGIVING DAY
Canada's Day of Thanks a Month Ear
Iier Than in the United States.

For some reason better known to
the Canadians themselves than to the
people on this side of the line, our
Canadian cousins celebrated their
Thanksgiving month or more earlier
than we do. 1t may be that the Cana
dian turkey had become impatient, end
sounded a note of warning, or it may
be that the frost on the pumpkin" de-
Clared itself. But whatever the reason,
their Thanksgiving day is past. 1t may
have been that the reasons for giving
thanks so much earlier than we do
were pushing themselves so hard and
so fast that the Canadians were
ashamed to postpone the event They
nave mad reasons, and good ones, too,
Tor giving thanks. Their great broad
areas OF prairie land have yielded in
abundance, and here, by the way, it is
not uninteresting to the friends of
the millions of Americans who have
made their home in Canada during the
past few years to know that they have
participated most generously in the
cutting of the melon" Probably the
western portion of Canada, comprising
the provinces of Manitoba, SaSkatche-
wan and Alberta. have the greatest
reason of any of the provinces to ex-
press in the most enthusiastic manner
their gratitude. The results in the
line of production give ample reason
for devout thanksgiving to Providence
This year has surpassed all others in
SO far as the total increase in the coun-
try's wealth is concerned There is no
question that Providence was espe-
cially generous. The weather condi-
tions were perfect, and during the
ripening and harvesting period, there
was nothing to interfere. And now it
was we'll it was so, for with a demand
for labor that could not be supplied,
with suitable weather the garnering of
the grain has been successfully accom-
piiShed. There have been low gen.
eral averages, but these are account
ed for by the fact that farmers were
Indifferent, relying altogether upon
what good soil would do. There
will be no more low averages though,
ior this year has shown what good,
careful farming will do. 1t will pro-
luce 100 million bushels of wheat from
seven million acres, and it will pro-
luce a splendid lot of oats, yielding
anywhere from so to 100 bushels per
acre. This on land that has cost but
rom $40 to SIS per acre-many farm
ars have realized sufficient from this
Years crop to pay the entire cost of
heir farms. The Toronto Globe says:
1.-THE whole population of the West
'ejoices in the bounty of Providence,
Ind sends out a message of gratitude
and appreciation of the favors which
have been bestowed on the country.
The cheerfulness which has abounded
with industry during the past six
months has not obliterated the concep-
lion of the source from which the
blessings have flown. and the good
feeling is combined with a spirit of
.hankfulness for the privilege of living
n so fruitful land. The misfortunes
Of the past are practically forgotten,
because there is great cause to con-
template with satisfaction the COM
forts of the present. Thanksgiving
should be a season of unusual en-

HEALTH HINTS.

There are many prejudices against Ger
tain foods. both among the public and
among medical men. For example. fat
and butter were formerly strictly forbid
den in all dyspeptic conditions. But fat
Is one of the food stuffs which possesses
the greatest value as heat producer
and butter. moreover is not a bulky form
or 1ood. Fat which is not rank pass as
through the stomach without affecting it
at all, and is digested in the intestine.
there is therefore no ground for with
holding butter. and indeed ii should be
strongly recommended.
Pneumonia is classed as one of the in
fectious diseases. The germs that ca,se
1t are among the commonest known They
are found in the thrOats of most peonle
that are suffering from colds. sore throats

means are within the reach OF all and
