YANKEE BOXERS USE 4
BUT LITTLE SCIENCE
Present Day Fighters In the Prize Ring
Would Rather Take Chances of
Landing Battle With a
Lucky WaIlop.

1T has surprised lot of fight fans,
little English pugilists have jumped
in and trimmed our feather and light
weights off the reel" said the old
sport as he discussed recent ring
events the other night. TT hasn't been
much of a surprise to me, however for
l consider that the American school of
boxing in the last 25 years has great
ly deteriorated instead of being ad-
vanced. Our old-time boxers knew how
to punch straight with both hands, and
didn't go in with wild swings, wide
open. like Terry McGOvern and his
bing-b bang style 1t was John L. Sulli-
van, never a really clever boxer who
adopted this wild swinging, and since
then nearly every pugilist on this side
of the Atlantic has been doing the
same thing, forgetting the old straight
punches.
Sullivan won because he was Won
derfully strong. Smashing in he
broke his opponents guard down,
walloped him on the jaw with his
right, and put him out But when Sui
Ivan met Corbett he was up against
a clever fellow and was not able to
hit nimble Jim one effective blow, in
the 81 rounds they fought When Nc
Govern met Young Corbett the first
time at Hartford the latter just waited
for one of Terry's mad rushes, and

AND
DETROIT PICKED
THESE TWO CLUBS LOOK TO RE
Corners IN THE RACE FOR
BIG LEAGUE REMNANTS.
Bresnahan and DonIin's Loss to the
Giants Is Not Made up by Their
New Accessions.

tOrecastInS any pennant race is a
joke until the material is actually
sized up. Even then one can not tell
what part luck and condition will
play. IneXplainable slumps may come
and weaker teams may take unex-
pected strsaks But the Judgment of
W. a. Phelan, for 20 years a major
league baseball writer, is worth some
consideration. He sizes UP the rival
teams of the two leagues as follows:
National League.
ChicagO-Is materially weakened in
batting, base running, fielding and
team play, with gaps at both second
base and behind the bat. No chance
to make up for these losses. Club is
n0tiCeably weaker than at the close of
1908.
New YOrk-The great gain made by
the accession of Murray. Schlei and
Raymond, which counterbalanced the
loss Of Bresnahan and left a margin
Of profit, is overcome by the loss of
Donlin, and the Giants are some
shades less powerful than last season.
Pittsburg-The Pirates are. on pres
ent form, just as strong as last fall
Their only chance of Improvement
over last season is in the development
of batting strength among the
younger players.
Philadelphia-This club looks the
most compact and powerful of the
first division class, right now 1t is
better balanced and more fitted to
cope with any exigency than it's riv-
oil y4rhi1 Nd
Coveleskie gives it marked increase
IN pitching talent.
Cincinnati-Has gained quite mott
ceably, as Roth is a stronger catcher
than Schlei, and the new men on the
;cam appear to be quite capable.
Boston-Is Just about the same,
with the chance of a gain, due to i'm
provement in the pitching staff.
BrOOklyn-Is still weak but has
made a little improvement, which will
be much more noticeable if Lumley
and Sebring bat as they used to do.
ST LOuis-Has gained the most of
all. as Bresnahan has added a fine
catching force and extra batting to
the lineup The improvement in the
cardinals is so great that they have a
swell chance of finishing ahead of
both Boston and Brooklyn.
AMERICAN League.
Chicago-Is wholly prOblematical
If the pitching of Scott and the hitting
of Cravath pan out all right this will
compensate for the loss of Jones'
fielding skill. 1t is hard to see, how
ever, where the Sox can be considered
Detroit-Appears to be, if anything,
stronger All the batting strength is
still in evidence, and the substitution
of Bush and Moriarity for O'Leary and
Coughlin may add still more swatting.

There is no spot where any weakness
can be discovered.
CT We a n d-Gains in pitching
strength through the accession of Cy
Young, but the batting, base running
ties owing to the dubious condition
of Flick and Turner.
st. Louis-Has every ounce of last
seasons strength intact, and has
braced the one doubtful spot by gain
ing Criger The Browns look like a
compact and formidable playing ma
chine this season.
Boston-Is entirely doubtful as no
one can fortell how the young pitch
ers will pan out, or how the young
performers will hit. 1t seems fairly
safe to say that the Red Sox will not
get into the first division.
Philadelphia-Has considerable good
material, but it will take a whole sea-
son for Mack to whip it into shape,
and then, while his young players are
developing, the older ones may retro
grade. Connie seems to have better
club than in 1908, but is up against
it anyhow.
shington-LO0ks more like
real playing machine than at any time
in three years and the few additions
that Cantillon has made seem to put
the club into elegant fighting trim. The
pitching staff is extremely strong, and
the Senators look distinctly danger
Gus.
New York-Is just now crippled by
Chase's illness, and must cope with
disorganzed and untried infield. Plen-
ty Of good material has been added to
the team, but. as is the case with the
Athletics. it will take a year to train
it into shape.

in while. 1t teaches them a whole lot
In the way of experience.
There's another point in favor of
English and Australian fighters. They
don't live as fast as our boys AS soon
as an American becomes a champion
or even a near champion he butts into
swift society, hits the grape juice and
paints the town. Do you remember
our little friend from Denver, Young
Corbett, when he landed on the Great
White Way and turned night into day?
He was a fine specimen of the gay and
festive American champion. Dressed
like a millionaire's son, he cut a
dashing figure for a while, but he
suddenly woke up one evening and
found himself a defeated 'has-been
and broke. His dream was soon over
and he's been trying hard recently to
regain his lost laurels. It's hard bat
tie. Did you ever see any of them
come back to the first cabin again? l
never did,"

The first thing that greets the eyes
Of a stranger alighting from the train
at Cold Spring, village resting snug.
~ in the highlands Of the Hudson, is
Washington's spring, inclosed by three
powders in the rough, which, as one
approaches, are seen to contain tiny
pool of spouting water. An inscrip.
ton in relief upon the bronze plate
announces that General George Wash
tngton, in frequent visits to the Ameri.
can troops encamped near by during
the war Of the Revolution. drank of
this spring and gave it its name, Cold
spring." 49,.
The encampments referred to were
principally upon the famous Constitu-
ton island, just below, to which was
attached one end of the great chain
which was stretched across the river
to West Point and checked navigation
by the British warships during the
Revolution.

A Lesson In Physiology.

The school superintendent was in
the habit of dropping in to the differ
ent class rooms and demanding a re-
cital of lessons from the pupils. One
day her active mind hit upon physiol-
ogy as the study for examination.
1t happened that the teacher did
herself not like the study Of the hui
man anatomy and therefore had not
drilled her scholars as she should have
done. But the little girl to whom the
first question was put so bewildered
the superintendent and made her lose
her patience that there were no more
questions of similar nature asked.
Tell me-" said the superintendent.
"what a skeleton Isl
The little girl thought for a short
time.
"A skeleton?" she asked "a skele-
ton? Why. a skeleton is man with

#Eahit From the Dunu aon

Convicts who were forced to drag
about a ball and chain at the galleys
could often be detected when released
by their habit Of trailing one foot
after the other. John Boyle o'Reilly,
condemned to convict life in Australia
Tor his Fenian sympathies, had also in
after years habit which told d like
sad story. One who knows him said:
When walking abstractedly and me-
chanically he always went short dis
lance and then retraced his steps, no
matter how wide stretch he had be-
tore him. It was always three PAGES
forward, turn and three PAGES back,
exactly like the restless turning Of a
lion in cage. One day asked him,
Boyle, what was the length Of your
cell when you were in prison-how
many paces?"
'Three," he said. "Why do you ask?'
Because when you are absentmind-
ed you always walk three PAGES for
ward and then retrace your steps,"

lantic Are Formed.

How Those Found In the North A..
lantic Are Formed.
The distance covered by an iceberg
Of the north Atlantic from the time
it is formed until it reaches the banks
is fully $500 miles. It may have been
af1oat for year, exposed to wide
changes Of temperature, battered by
ice foes, possibly other bergs and
ceaselessly washed by the waves. Yet
some Of those seen 1000 miles south
OF their starting point are nearly 800
feet in height and truly of majestic
proportions, often 1000 or more feet
In length, while it is an established
scientific fact that so much more of
the bulk is under water than is visible
that the largest bergs may extend into
the ocean to a depth Of over half a
mile.
Their enormous size when they be-
come detached from the glaciers is
proved by the observations of explor-
ers along the Greenland coast. A few
years ago a berg was measured as
nearly as possible around the edges.
This distance was about five miles.
1t had several peaks estimated to
range from 300 to 500 feet high. Judg-
ing from its appearance, it was a solid
mass that had separated in it's entirety
from the glacial edge Of Greenland.
AS arctic navigators who venture
far Forth often see score or more of
great bergs in a day, the tremendous
glacial activity in this region can be
appreciated The majority Of these
that drift to the Grand banks come
from Melville bay. Some Of the dis.
tinct glaciers that terminate the Green
land ice cap on this coast extend along
it distance of fully twenty-five miles.
Their thickness or height can only be
estimated, but in places near the open
sea it is believed to be several hun
dred feet
Recent examinations Of this coast
show that during the short summer
the formation of bergs in the bay is
almost continuous. The glacial move
nent keeps pressing the ice forward
until thick stratum often projects
many feet beyond that beneath. After
time the great weight overcomes the
tensile strength of the mass and it
falls into the sea, and berg is Gre
ated.-Day Allen Wiley in Scientific

ceived as q present magnificent cake
which be had reason to suspect con-
tanned poison. He put the cake aside
and set oil his powerful machinery
to work to find out who was at the
bottom Of the plot The investigation
was partly successful. the crime being
traced to three men, Of whom one at
least was absolutely guilty. Ii had
the trio arrested and brought to his
yamen. When they arrived they were
ushered into his presence and were re-
ceived in his courtliest manner. The
cake was produced with the remark
that politeness forbade his tasting it
until the three generous ''pnors had
had an opportunity to enjoy its excel
lence. Ii cut the cake. and one Of his
servitors handed it to the unwilling
guests. Each took piece and ate or
pretended to eat it. One crumbled the
pieces and let them fall upon the floor,
but the other two ate calmly. without
manifesting any emotion. Ten min
utes and the two men began to show
symptoms of suffering. Ii smiled be-
n1gnantly and said to the man who
had not eaten. your wisdom is so
great that am compelled to preserve
your head as souvenir to transcend
ent genius"
The man was removed and promptly
Necapitated. To the other two the pre-
mier remarked: 1.-THE cake that you
are eating is not the one you sent, but
one which had my cook initiate. The
poison from which you are suffering
exists only in your imagination.

pain except by letting you share the
same fate as your friend who has just

that man who can eat a deadly cor
rosive poison with an unmoved coun-
tenance should so misapply the talent
wherewfth heaven has endowed him."
