Three minutes after the steel steam

this morning about a mile and half

A heavy fog was responsible for the
collision. The Scott, new boat, on

8TH CONVENTION
IMPORTANT DELIBERATIONS
CONCLUDED
OLD OFFICERS VS.. YOUNG BLOOD
WAS VITAL ISSUE
Epworthians Discuss Question of
Whether Gray=Haired Churchmen
or Enthusiastic Youth Shall
Dominate Affairs
CBy Associated Press)

SEATTLE, Wash, July 12.-The
eighth International convention of the
Epworth League Of the United States
and Canada dispersed today to meet
again in 1918, the city and place 10
be chosen by the board of control.
The closing day was spent by the
thousands of delegates on the Alaska
Yukon-Pacific exposition grounds in
happy celebration of EpWorth League
day. Tonight the eastern delegates
began to scatter, few starting directly
home. The copper badge of the Ep-
worthians will be a familiar sight in
all the cities of the coast for days to
come.
The convention was probably the
most important ever held by the league
1t brought to the front the issue
whether the league should be ruled by
the bishops and the offices held by old
people, the young to be quiet and pay
dues. The convention meetings were
largely attended, but contained only a
sprinkling of young people, although
the latter were in a vast majority
among the delegates who registered at
local headquarters.
Old Heads Predominant
Row after row of gray haired men
and women stretched before the speak
,
here and there a bright bonnet and
young face.
Some Of the speakers dwelt upon the
besetting perils of worldliness, includ-
ing under this caption dancing, cards
and the theateT. The old people said
"Amen" 10 this, but the young were
silent. Other speakers told the gray
heads they had no business in the con-
vention or in the league.
While no vote was taken there was
a general consensus of opinion that the
league must be reOrganized at once if
it is to carry out the purpose Of its
founders-that of a young peoples So
Ciety. These two officers Of the league
of the Methodist Episcopal church in
the United States-President William
A. Quayle and General Secretary Ed
win NJ. Randall--have promised to
bring the league back to its starting
point.

matter of fact, 1t Is nothing of the
kind. 1t is a trial of strength in
which the man who is strongest
physically, spiritually, will in time
tire another man until he gasps-
until he breaths irregularly.
That irregularity of breathing
is the other fellows chance. A
gasp means that the muscles about
the abdomen-the most powerful
in the body-are for the moment
relaxed.
For that moment of relaxation,
for that gasp, the master of ring
tactics is waiting. Then he darts
in a very gentle, little snappy
slap-and 1t takes more than ten
seconds to find out whether or
not the other man is alive.
That is my opinion about this
bout. Johnson will play his man
out. and then, having been run
ming and falling down about sew
enteen times, Johnson will rise
up and slap Jeffries in a tender
place. There are several-espe-
cialiy when you get tired. If the
opponent catches you when you
are tired and gasping-it is just
under the typhoid process. If you

in gasping should drop your jaw
1t is a glancing blow just under
your lower lip. Another point
which no pugilist of good taste
would land on is just behind the
ear-on the mastoid process-if
we must use professional jargon
Now my feeling is that John
son will wait until Jeffries gets
tired enough to gasp.
And then
That is what Johnson did to
poor Burns. That is what he did
to that splendid fighter, Ketchell
and that. l guess, is what he will
do to the "Invincible."
Jeffries is a physical wonder.
But Johnson also is a wonder. II

getaway against the punch, and

reproach as far as their honesty
is concerned. AS to the rest 1 can
only reiterate my personal feeling

them off the bowling map by a
score of 1894 to 2,454. Lohre
of the picked team did the star
bowling of the evening and ran
613 in the three games with 225

With his bulk, his strength and
the firmness which somebody told

is not by any means an easy
proposition. Physically, as we all
know, he is a wonder.
Johnson has the ease and the
freedom of youth and the reserve
which marks the master of mod

GO WAY JOHNSON
and QUIT FooLIN'
BY Tip Wright.

Jack Johnson says he is as fast
as Jim Corbett and can hit harder
Therefore, argues Jack, he can
beat Jeffries, who went % rounds
with Corbett upon the occasion OF
their first fight, before he landed
the punch that put Gentleman
jim, out of the running.
5 If this is argument, why hire
lawyers? / don't think l have
heard anything more humorous
since Kid Broad quit trying to
speak English. If the heavy
weight champion is actually bas-
ing his hope of victory upon this
foundation, his song after the bat
tie will be somthing like, Woe is
me-"
The Jeffries who hooked UP
with the lightning conductor, Jim
Corbett, in 1900, is not the JEFF
fries of today. Not by long shot.
Then he was practically a novice,
despite the fact that he was the
heavyweight champion. Against a
speed peddler like Corbett, the
big fellow looked bad until, after
trying to lay a fist upon the
dancing master, he finally slipped
over the kick that carried the de-
eision, and the panther-like Cor
bett was cold.
But since that day Jeffries has
improved as boxer and ring gen
eral. He discovered it was neces-
sary to box to keep from being
disfigured by the clever men, so
he went about it and schooled
himself, until today he is the fast
est big man of them all. And
this goes for Johnson.
The idea of Jack Johnson, the
flat-footed scrapper, being as fast
as Jim Corbett would make me
grin If l didn't have a cracked lip.
Why, when Corbett was good,
Johnson would have choked to
death swallowing Jim's dust. The
champion is fast all right, there's
no question about it, but when he
makes a crack about being in Cor
belts class he lets himself in for a
balling out.
Just pin one little fact in your
memory. When Jeffries and
Johnson fight you won't notice
Jack standing flat-footed, with his
mitts out, waiting for Jeffries to
rush, as he did with Ketchell.
