that Is my honest opinion His cour-
age and punch would beat the black
man. He can whip Langford, too.
| don't suppose that many will agree
with me when | say that Ketchel can
whip Johnson, but you walt and see.
He's the man to do II. He's getting
heavier all the time and that Is what
he needs. He certainly is great man
Besides his shift, he has a splendid
left jab, Do you know that he hurt
me more with his straight left jabs
than with his justly celebrated shift
punches2 He didn't hurt me about
the body, But that shift Ia really won
derful and l would say, far superior to
Bob Fitzsimmons Not as deadly ?
Indeed II is. You must remember few
men ever landed one on me, and he
did Many Of them were Wild. but
rccollect | am as fast a moving man
as there Is in the ring and this boy
had that to contend with
Let him hit men who are not al
ways going round, as l do, and some
thing will drop. You know he has
piled up that wonderful record OF
knockouts with that left hand and
just because he didn't always land 1t
on me is no reason that it isn't as
deadly as F1tZ's. It's a natural shift
and tho greatest ever seen in q ring
The beauty of II is that IL he misses
he comes out Of ono shift into another
and what one hand has failed to ac.
compllsh the othor has.
The thing that struck me most fore
IDLY about his work is, that though he
missed time and again. he never was
off his balance. That is remarkable
Never once was his body out of plumb
IL isn't necessary for him to get set
He doesn't nit with his body as other
fighters do, BY that mean. he doesn't
send his body along with the rest of
the punch.
1T comes from either hand. He
hits with the full force OF his arms
alone, He's the hardest puncher
ever faced. and I've met them all. And
don't think he Isn't clever, He's clev-
or in his own way-homespun, IL you
will, Did you notice the queer way
he has OF turning his shoulders away
from you as a straight left comes at
him? Like a flash he Is shifting and
bringing his right hand around to
counter you. He made me miss re-
peatedly; and how many men have l
ever missed with my left hand be-
fore?
NOW. that is Just where they are
going to go wrong when they figure
Langford to beat him. 1t won't be any
easier for Sam to hit him than it was
for me. Walt and see now IL they
fight His advantage over me was In

REFUSES TO PAY EXPRESS
ON DOG MINUS ONE LEG

Wooster, O.. April 3.-A threeleg-
ged dog, upon which Its owner refus-
cd To pay express charges because OF
its incomplete anomaly, has been put
up for sale at public auction by the
express company here on April 10.
The dog has been advertised for sale
and every step taken TO make the
sale as refused express legal.
When the dog was consigned to a
young woman here. it had four legs.
A day after 1t arrived, however, it
broke out of It's crate. ran away from,
the station and when 1t returned it
was minus It's left hind leg The con-
slgnee called and claimed that she
aid not have TO pay the full express
charges as the express bill called for
a whole dog,
"A dog is a dog" said the agent as
he stood by his guns. The dog was
left In his hands.

the publIc's sympathy has all been
with the player until very lately. There
have been 50 many phoney hold-outs,
retirements and threats to jump TO the
outlaw league by players who never
intended to do anything but jump into
the band wagon when the proper time
came that the dear old public has
switched its sympathy-or quite
chunk of Ito the club owners, who
have outgrown the position of slave
owners and barterers In human chat
ties"
Still others think the players are
doing pretty we'll to drag down as
much as $4,000 for 4 season on the
diamond If all the big league pay
rolls were summed up and an aver"
age taken IL would be found that the
players received about $4,000 TO SS,-
200 apiece for the six months work
or play. whichever way one happens
TO look at IT,
Does $1,000 seem like a pretty fair
remuneration for a seasons work? The
public is divided on that, but probably
there are as many who would say that
an average OF $4,000 Is just.
How many ball players would be
able TO earn $4,000 In other lines of
cndeavor? There are some but
mighty few. Fielder Jones is passing
up a salary of $4,000 to look after
business interests. but business inter

By paying the men Lajoie, Cobb, Walsh

Ballinger,s Public Life.

Many of the newspaper correspond
ents who are spending their time at
Beverly write of Secretary Ballinger as
If he we're a new sight for the president
to witness and a novice in the land and
cognate affairs of the Interior depart
ment. The truth is that he is better
acquainted with the president than
were some Of the other secretaries
called into the cabinet, and has a spe-
cial qualification Of familiarity with
the public land branch of the depart
ment. From March, 1907, he was
commissioner Of the general land Of
flee under Garfield, and obviously had
the approval of President Roosevelt
and not the disapproval of Mr.. Taft,
then the secretary of war.
Secretary Ballinger may be a wise
man or a shallow one, but at least he
was we'll known to Roosevelt and Taft
and to a great array of other distin-
guished men close to both of them. He
had been a superior court judge and

that his fellow-citizens thought wen of

1t would not have been easy at the
time of his appointment to select a
man of larger experience, or one. un-
less some OF Roosevelt's cabinet were
to be r~eappointed. more thoroughly
tested. He was far from being a novice
and as far from being unknown. Pres
ident Taft knew pretty we'll the cal
iber of the man last March, It was a
busy summer for the president. but he
must have had a notion of what was
doing in the Department of the In.
terror. If there is disagreement when
Mr.. Ballinger meets his chief there will
be no shock of astonishment over his
position on any question dealing with
the public lands.

dacy for governor. Now load your guns
and begin firing.
St. Paul Republican: II you think that
James c. Dahln an of Omaha will not be
a candidate for governor on the democratic
ticket next year you have another guess
coming. His newspaper support will be

Omaha has formally declared himself as
a candidate for governor on a platform
that will declare for home rule and
personal liberty" The perfecting of a
statewide organization in support of Dahl
mans candidacy, independent Of the regn-
lar party committees, has been going on
for some time and there is liable to be a
srlit in democratic circles.

Omaha is attracting more attention than
usually falls to the lot OF mankind and no
seems to thrive under 1t. That Dahlman
will be democratic candidate for governor
next year seems more or less certain las
politics goes) at this time, and Governor
Shallenberger will be in the race for sena-
tor. Perhaps it has not occurred to either
OF them that Nebraska is normally a re-
publican state and they may both lose out
when the votes are counted.
O'Neill Frontier: Mayor Dahlman Of
Omaha is setting his stakes to run for
governor next year as a whisky democrat.
He is doing a little advance work in the
way of chautauqua debating of the pro-
hibition question, being avowedly and in
sistently opposed to further restrictions Of
the liquor trade. He is not without a sub
stsntial following and his nomination next
year would be no surprise. One thing about
the Omaha mayor that is admirable is his
absolute candor. People are not left in
the dark as to where ne is at"
Greeley Leader-Independent: If it should
become the duty of democrats to make a
choice of candidates for governor between
Mayor Dahlman and Governor Shallep-
berger, wisdom would easily distate the
selection of the latter, Dahlman doubtless
has his good qualities, but he Is not the
stripe OF man 10 merit g~ubernatorial
honors. Dahlman is obsessed with his

terprets it, means antagonism to all recent
