The Story of an Invention.

The Story of an Invention.
 The power loom was the invention of a farmers boy, who had never seen or heard of such a thing He fashioned one with his penknife, and when he got 1t all done he showed 1t with great en- thusiasm to his father, who at once kicked 1t all to pieces, saying he would have no boy about him who would spend his time on such foolish things. The boy was sent to a blacksmith to learn a trade, and his master took a lively interest in him. He made a loom of what was left of the one his father had broken up and showed 1t to his master. The blacksmith saw he had no common boy as an apprentice, and that the invention was a valuable one. He had loom constructed under the supervision of the boy. It worked to their perfect satisfaction, and the blacksmith furnished the means to manufacture the looms, and the boy received half the profits. In about a year the blacksmith wrote to the boys father that he should bring with him . wealthy gentleman, who was the in ventor of the celebrated power loom. You may be able to judge of the as- tonishment at the old home when his son was presented to him as the in ventor, who told him that the loom was the same as the model that he had kicked to pieces the previous year.

The Pointer.

There is as much fallacy in attempt ing to prove the origin of poinxing as in like attempt to prove the origin of eating. As a matter of fact, the point ing act commonly exhibited by the pointer and setter Is an incident of the capture or attempted capture of food by dogs, and also by wolves and foxes. Coyotes have been seen to draw and point on prairie dogs and grouse in precisely the same manner that the pointer and setter draw on game birds. There were the same rigidity and stealth, the pause to judge of distance and opportunity and the final rigid pause when all the energies are con- centrated for the final spring to cap ture. All the phenomena displayed by the dog family indicate that the draw ing and pointing in the pursuit ot prey were ever natural traits. It may be reasonably believed that man could not breed the pointing instinct out of the dog if he attempted to do so.- Forest and Stream.

 The heavyweight championship fight f twenty rounds between Jack John son, the present holder of the title, and Stanley Ketchel. middleweight cham pion of the world, to be decided at Col ma, Cal. October 12 was clinched by Promoter James Coffroth, who has agreed to hang up 50 per cent. of the gross. receipts. After Johnson had seen Al Kaufman fail in his attempt to stop Tony Ross in ten rounds at the Fairmont A. c. on Tuesday night he was soon in close consultation with Coffroth and WilIus Britt KetcheIs manager. There was another confab yesterday and articles of agreement were signed, both Johnson and Ketch- eI accepting Coffroth's terms, including a 65 and B per cent. division of the money, with bet of s5,0O0 on the side, which has been posted. As matter of fact the Johnson-Ketchel fight was framed up several days ago, as The Sun announced on Tuesday morning. but Johnson did not care to come out with a formal announcement until af- ter ne had seen Kaufman mix it up with Ross. It seems, by the way, that ever since Johnson arrived here from Australia he has been more anx- 1ous to take on -Ketchel than anybody else, and when w. A. Brady, among others, asked the negro in Chicago sew -eral weeks ago who would be his first d Jack replied with a broad grin:
 ..That boy Ketchel is just made for me-
 So from that it is understood that Ketchel beat Jack O'Brien that bout with the wonderful Michigan Lion would draw more money in California than a battle with Kaufman or Lang ford, Jemries being eliminated from the calculations altogether. Coffroth, too, from the moment that he planned to put Johnson into the ring at Colma next fall figured on nobody but Ketch- el, who has an army of followers on the Coast.
 Coffroth in promoting big fights never acted from a sentimental point of view, and while he has always been a close says that for purely business reasons he decided some time ago that, Ketchel was a much better drawing card than Kaufman,g giving as a reason that while Kaufman and Jack Twin Sullivan drew less than $4,000 in a twenty-five round bout at Colma, Ketchef in another go with Sullivan, boxed to more than $12,- coo. Since Ketchel practically knock nians have simply gone daft over the Michigan pugilist and are confident that he has royal chance to win John sons title. Johnson, reassured that Kaufman is not the fighter that Delan- ey says he is, showed no hesitation yesterday in accepting the match with Ketchel, and although the negro has confab on for this morning with Delan- sey it is believed that there will be nothing doing in spite of De1aney's assertion right after the Ross fight that Kaufman if matched with John son for forty-f1ve rounds would win de- cisive1y.g KetcheI when he learned that he had been matched with John son was delighted.
 I'll beat him sure,'' said he. "I know he can't hurt me and, furthermore, he can't keep away from me like OBrien All want is to get home a few smash es in the body and I'll bring Johnson

ALL THE HEAVIES
 LODGING LANGFORD
Special from United Press.)

Special from United Press)
 New York, April 16-In an opinion letter, Joseph Woodman. manager of Sam LangfOrd, the hard-hItting New England fighter, declared that all lead ing lights in the pugilistic circles are afraid to meet his man. He asserts that he is willing tor match Langford against any of them. He desires the heavyweights and declares that John son flunked out of a match with Lang ford in London. While Woodman doesn't belittle RetchelPs fighting abil- ity he claims that he is too small a man to meet Johnson and that Lang ford is the most likely candidate.
 Kaufman's fight with Ross has elimi- mated him for the time being from championship possibilities. says Wood man. O'Brien. he says, is a sick man and never can be again considered in the premier role. As to Johnson Wood man says that the black champion has not the knockout punch but is simply a clever boxer and the public wants to see man earn victories for the world championship by decisively beat ing his opponents.
 Woodman winds up his letter by say ing that he and Langford sail for England on the 18th and offers to box Ketchell either the 26th or 27th at one of the locals clubs.

Newfield park was too wet for base ball yesterday afternoon, the infield re- sembling a lake. The players however had batting practice in left field.
 News comes by way of Meriden that Ed Walsh has applied to the National Commission to be declared a free agent claiming among other things that Manager Comiskey of the Chicago club did not tender him a contract to sign before the required time which expired MarcE 1 last. Comiskey chimes in and says that Walsh's contract was sent prior to March l, while August Herr mann in Cincinnati, chairman of the commission says that he has not re- ceived any application from Walsh to be declared a free agent. -Contradic- tioas will now be in order.
