When Bishop Brooks wished

When Bishop Brooks wished to
move people he never depicted vice,
but exalted virtue, recalls the Boston
Post. This new theory of instruction
is unnatural and debasing, if not il
legal If ever this experiment is per-
formed in the public schools of this
city, it is to be hoped that the super
intendent will Immediately stamp on
it, and that the parents of the chill
dren who are forced to witness the
antics of intoxicated puppies will
give the names of the experimenters
to Mr.. Angel. He will do the rest.

There are two things which appeal
to the minds and conscienees of in
telligent people; namely, problems
and duties. The problems are the
things that we know littlI about and
wish that we did, confesses the Chris
tian Register. 1t is good for the
mind and stimulating for the con.
science to work upon them Duties
stand over against problems as things
that we do know about, and they call
us to immediate action. Now one of
the curiosities of human nature is the
evident inclination Of very intelligent
and conscientious people to busy
themselves more with problems than
with duties. The solution of a moral
problem always calls for moral ac-
ton, but the simple doing of duty is
hundrum, unexciting, unimpressivc.
Everybody does it more or less. but
there are few minds that can solve
problems AS we look back over the
last year we do not see that any of the
most important problems have been.
solved or even come near to " ticns
but some minor problems have been
solved, and some very iaportaat adj
yances made in the way CT practical
conduct, especially in the history pf
nations. The duties are evident.

at first glance, submits the Boston
Transcript, it may seem a trifle start
ling to associate the names of Poe
and Lincoln, but Lincoln had the
poetic sensibility that must have
made him appreciative of the ex-
quisite beauty of the lyrics of singer
who had not only the voice but the
knowledge of how to sing, and the
melancholy temperament to which
"The Raven" appeals We may yet
learn that Lincoln was touched by the
verse that still moves the world by its
beauty and its fancy, or by those
weird prose imaginings that lead us
along shadowy ways of strange spir-
itual experiences.

Crack Scotch BOWlerS Enter
For Tournament

The annual scratch singles tourna-
ment for championship of the San
Francisco Scottish bowling club will
commence on the green at Golden Gate
park Saturday. Thirty-eight players
affixed their signatures to the entry
list, and this years event should prove
up to the standard of past seasons.
The present champion is ]. c. Mof-
fatt, who will make strong bid for
the honors again this year. The
champion was beaten in the handicap
singles tournament, which is in prog
ress. but j. Deasy. the player who
beat him, had a handicap of two. Mof-
fatt probably is the cleverest bowler
in the club, but by no means out
classes several. of the other cracks.
j. S. Webster, John McLaren, 7. Miller,
Rev A. c. Bane, A. A. McVicar, Rev.
w. J. Fisher and w. Maundrel are
little behind the champion in point OF
skill, and all of them have chance
to win the title.
Deasy, who beat Moffatt and McLar-
en-, two of the scratch players in the
handicap singles tournament, has come
to the front with rush, and while
not considered in line for champion
ship honors as yet, he probably will
make trouble for several Of the con-
tenders. The tournament will be com
pleted, if possible, before the rainy
season sets in. The drawing resulted
as follows:
Preliminary round-A Wilkie VS..
J; W. Elder; A. Mod. Hardy vs.. G.
G, Patterson; C.. S. Wright VS.. ]. s.
Mclean VS.. j. Duncan; r. Park VS.. J.

Judge Lucien Shaw VS.. ]. McLachlan
Tichnor VS.. Andrew Foreman; A. A
McVicar. VS.. H. A. Brown; William
Higgenbotham VS.. r. Dewar; B. Etter
VS.. Joseph Gray.
OF the 36 players originally entered
in the handicap singles tournament 22
still remain in the competition. The
poor progress Is due to the fact that
many of the contestants have been
out of town. Twelve players still have
first round matches to play while the
other ten are in the second round.
The first round matches to be played
are:
]. T. Dare ca vs. George Mclean

Duffey Lewis Helps Out by
SIapping Ball Over Right
Field Fence
STANDING OF THE CLUBS
RESUTS OF GAMES
Sacramento q, San Francisco z.
Oakland 3, Los Angeles i.
Portland 10, Vernon 3.

The Angels succumbed to another
attack of the southpaw epidemic at
the Valencia street lot yesterday aft
ernoon. Tonneson mixed a prescrip-
tion similar to the one which his fell
low southpaw, Nelson, served the boys
in the opening game across the bay
Tuesday and the finish was 8 to 1. The
Angels have a consoling thought, If
nothing else. They grabbed a run and
saved themselves from the humiliation
of white coating, which was their lot
Tuesday. But one run does not go for
much when the opposing team makes
three.
Oakland is going to gallop away with
about five out of the seven games this
week. The transbay aggregation has
the number of the champion crew from
the south. Oakland is also playing
better ball than Los Angeles this
week 1t is winning it's games be-
cause it is handling the goods in the
proper way, and the fans are elated.
Tonneson pitched fine baseball, but
even his efforts would not have
brought about the result had not Duff

round, one man down and the score a

the pick and 1t never stopped until IT
had cleared the right field fence. The
Angels never had peep in after that-
Big Bill Tozer had nine straight vic
tories to his credit till Lewis broke
up his winning combination with that
awful clout. Tozer pitched a fine game
of ball, too, but not as good one as MS
lefthanded opponent did. The Oaks
were hitting hard in each inning, but
speedy work in the Angel infield and
outfeld kept many a run away.
Willie Hogan got back into the game
at third base and he gave Oakland ltS
first tally in the fifth inning, which he
started with a fine two sacker into the
left garden. Cameron advanced hogan

The game was reeled off in an hour

the speed and distance matches that
will be held on the San Leandro course
Saturday, October %. as part Of the
Portola festival To the two events
already scheduled has been added a
third race at distance OF ESQ miles.
to be known as the Portola road race.
The prize will be known as the Oak
land Portola cup and will have a value
of $2,5OO.
The other two races are at $50 and
200 miles respectively. All three races
will be conducted at the same time,
beginning early in the morning. so that
spectators will have chance to see
automobiles pass the reviewing stand
every few minutes. Great interest In
the races is being taken by automo-
bilists around the bay and it Is ex-
pected that many will enter cars The
value of the prizes will probably bring
several professional drivers from the
east with specially built cars.

Money If He Doesn't Score Knockout
BY WILLIAM ]. SLATTERY

that the only chance Kaufman has of
defeating Johnson is to wade in and
take his chances in a slam bang fight.
He might down the champion in fight
of long duration where stamina counts.
but if he believes he can box with the
colored champion he is a subject for the
funny house.
Say, Jim Coffroth. if 1 don't knock
that big white man out for you In
nine rounds you need not give me my
training expenses
This is the way that Johnson talked
to the Mission street promoter when
the latter paid him visit at his
Emeryville training quarters yesterday
afternoon. Coffroth took Johnson at his
word and chuckled as he thought that
he would be saved several hundred dol
lars, provided that Johnson lived up
to this agreement and incidentally fiat
tened the big California blacksmith
when he steps into the ring with him
next Thursday afternoon.
Johnson seemed to appeal to Coff-
roth, even though others who have
seen him work are inclined to the be-
lief that he is not overtaxing himself.
The big smoke weighs in the neigh
borhood of 210 pounds. and the chances
are that he will tip the beam at about
200, his regular fighting weight, on the
afternoon of his next ring engagement.
Johnson claims to weigh close to 230,
but the wise ones only shake their
heads and say. About 210.'
Johnson spared with three big fell
lows yesterday for Coffroth's benefit.
Dave Mills and Frank Kaufman, a
youngster went three rounds each with
the black champion, while Bob Arm
strong was content to quit after one
spasm. Bob is not in very good shape,
SO the chances are that Johnson will
have to get most of his future work
out of Mills, Jackson and any other live
ones who happen to show up in the
meantime.
