followers will have an opportunity of
proving to their own satisfaction the
truth of the old statement that fight
err who has been out OF the game as
long as Jeffrles is never able to come
back.
Johnson was eminently successful
so far as he has gone, but he was
lucky enough To come into the cham
pionship division when that class had
less, and poorer, aspirants for the
honors than i'm any other time i'm the
history of the prize ring Had he been
given credit for any ability whatever.
when he was matched to meet Tommy
Burns for the title In Australia, the
cry would have gone up that was rails
ed when he was matched to fight Stan
ley Ketchcl.
When Jeffries attached the title he
had to wade through the biggest and
best crop of heavyweights the world
has ever known. Corbett Fitz Shar-
key and Gus Rubin were in the hey
dey of their careers. He gave them
all an opportunity. but there was none
who was even capable of making the
big fellow take one step back.
Unlike Johnson, there was no time
when il was even limited at that
Jeffries was not game. Sharkey pound
ed and Corbett tormented him. while
Fitz literally cut him to ribbons, but
Jeffries grinned through II all.
When the whole question is finally |
threshed out, all that goes to make |
the fighter must be handed to Jeffrics. |
Age and the length Of time that he
has been out of the game are against |
him, but that these VIII prove serl-
Gus handicap remains yet to be seen.
Thus far James Coffroth the San
Francisco promoter has not submitted
his bid for the mill and considerable
interest and speculation has developed
over what that bid will be. The willy
promoter, however. has suggested
new program of events which he would
like to stage, which puts a new APP
pearance on the situation.
Coffroth .said today: ut has been
proposed to me that | make "a three

gested, and it isn't a half bad idea.

knowledge of the game, and at times,
bursts Of team work which surprised
their olders rivals. In the first half the
wind was in Mohawks favor, but il
required fifteen minutes before the first
score was made. Ten minutes later
another goal was registered against
the locals and after this period, the
teams played on a very even basis the
Mohawk goal being threatened as of

THE CASUALTIES 0F A DAY
 AT MIAMI NEAR GLOBE
Two Men Killed by cave-ln and a
 Premature Explosion

Globe, Arizona Nov. 1S.-Two men were painfully injured and two build ings badly damaged at the Miami this afternoon. a result of a premature ex- plosion of five heavy charges of giant powder in a railroad cut. The fuses were improperly timed and allowed the charges to explode simultaneously. de- luging the surrounding country with shower of rocks and earth, John Pun can. who ran for shelter when the ex- plOsion occurred. was knocked down and rendered unconscious just as he reached a nearby house.
 Two unidentified Mexicans were killed. and another badly crushed at Miami late in the afternoon. the result of a cave-in at the site of the new cOncertrator of the Miami Copper company. The eaVe-in came without warning and several other laborers narrowly escaped death. Soft ground from the recent rains is said to have caused the accident.

TRESPASSiNG ON RAILROADS

Comment. not favorable to this country, was recently made upon the vastly greater number of casualties through railroad accidents in the United States than in Great Britain, despite the much greater number of messengers carried in the latter coun- try. similar contrast. greatly to our discredit. is presented in the sta tistics of persons killed or injured on railroads not through accidents to trains, but while they were trespass- ing on the rails.
 In Great Britain, as is well known, railroads are generally fenced in so as to make trespassing less easy Nevertheless many persons do get upon the lines, and in the year lso' no fewer than 27S were killed ana ll5 injured from that cause, or more than twice as many killed as the mum her of passengers killed from all other causes That was heavy roll. but it was insignificant when contrasted with the corresponding roll in the United States For here in that same year no fewer than 5,6l2 persons were killed while thus trespassing, or more than fifteen a day. In ten years the number thus killed was 47.4l6 while a still larger number were more or less seriously injured. The victims are not only tramps. who notoriously tres pass on railroads. but also working men and their wives and children ana all sorts of people. who often consider A railroad a convenient short cut to their habitations.
 Generally these deaths are charged against the railroads, as though they were to be blamed for them, when in fact the companies not only are not at fault, but actually have strived hard to prevent trespassing and to protect trespassers from their folly. Thus the Pennsylvania railroad reports that in spite of it's fences and warning signs in 1907 no fewer than s15 tres passers were killed on it's various lines. In an heroic effort to suppress the evil it caused last year the arrest of more than 11.000 trespassers. but that did not altogether discourage the others. for in the first six months of the pres ent year 2S5 were killed.
 There surely ought to be some way of abating so gross an evil. Some of the railroads seem to be doing about all they can to stop it. but complain that they do not have the cooperation and support of the local magistrates, who refuse or fail to impose deterrent penalties upon the trespassers who are arrested. In some places there actual ly seems to be popular resentment against the railroads for trying to keep people from walking on the tracks. Such an attitude of mind is little better than inhuman. There ought instead to be hearty CO., operation of companies. magistrates and people for the suppression of this dangerous practice

RUNAWAY HORSE
DROPPED DEAD
Animal Vas Being Driven
Back TO Finish it's Work
When it Fell

Two horses attached to a wagon
belonging to the Wilson Line, and
driven by John Primrose, of No. sol
Locust street, ran away from the
Kentmere plant Of the Joseph Ban
croft and Sons Company to-day, and
as a result one of the animal fell dead
from exhaustion.
Primrose was not on the wagon at
the time and the horses dashed at high
speed toward the center OF the city.
At Shallcross avenue and Scott streets
the team collided with a Peoples Line
car, damaging it. The horses con-
tinued to Gilpin avenue, TO Clayton
street, to Delaware avenue, whers
Patrolman Morrow captured them.
Primrose had followed the team into
the city and finding nothing was
wrong. drove the horses back to the
Bancroft plant to finish his work. on
reaching Kentmere one of the horses
fell in it's tracks and died.
