himself into serious trouble at Emery

was the one best bet to stay Off that
race. His horses could run last one
day and win the next. and be excused
in n manner that baffied all comment.

the latter indueement was offered MIN.

will have plenty of opportunity to go
back to his farm and hoe potatoes for

Sam Hildreth. who has been FORUM

same time has been unfortunate IN
having all of them go wrong on him at
critical times Is experiencing another
batch of trouble regarding his jockeys.
With such an expensive stable he must
have a rider of some class. yet he has
been so unfortunate as to have trouble
in keeping a good rider on his paw roll.
Dugan got in trouble so frequently that
he was of little use to him, Mccarthy
sustained an injury a few days ago

other crack riders at Santa Anita. He

FAST GEORGE THORPE
MAY NOT COMPETE
Suspension from Harvard Military
Academy May Serve as a Bar
from All Cinder Path
Events

1t will be unwelcome news to lovers
of athletics in Southern California
IeuuIoJ 9ul '9dIoQL eSIo9D 4Bql Ie9u o.
great Harvard Military academy
sprinter and baseball player, Will not
be likely to compete in high scnooi
athletic events this season.
Indeed, it now appears uncertain
whether he will join the ranks of the
Los Angeles high school athletes, as
had been hoped for. Whether the sur
mise is correct or not cannot be
definitely stated, but at present the
signs seem to point to the enforced
disbarment of the popular athlete from
the cinder path and field for the sea-
son.
Ever since his suspension from Har-
ward Military academy it has been
daily expected that he would either be
reinstated in that school or cast his
fortunes with some other interscholas-
tic institution. But as time goes by
and there is no such announcement
forthcoming, it begins to look bad for
the prominent athlete, and finding
himself persona non grata" with his
parent institution, it may be that he
has decided to forego joining any other
institution for the remainder of the
season.
In any event, the loss of such a bril-
liant athlete Will be distinctly felt at
the many interscholastic meets sched-
uled for the remainder of the season.
Real crackerjacks are too few and far
between, not only in the preparatory
schools, but also in all Southern Cali
fornia colleges, for any to be lost to
the athletic ranks. 1t is, therefore,
earnestly to be hoped that some way
may yet be found to adjust the case
of George Thorpe for the best interests
of all concerned. All parties of inter-
est preserve a very close mouth re-
garding the subject and nothing
definite concerning the outcome can
be learned.

An Auto Tale

TNHERE fellow of excellent worth,
l Went garage and asked for berth,
Il But he hadn't spark of mechanical lore
So the job that he landed was sweeping the floor
But he held it down hard for week, and did WELL
And by that time his clothes had gasoline smell,
His jumper dirty, and grease on his jeans,
So they gave him a raise-put him washing machines
At work dark and straight through until dawn,
And it really wonderful how he got
He didn't talk much, still he had knowing airs,
So they raised him a notch-to help out on repairs
Soon he mastered the technical for each part
And all real Auto words he had down by heart.
He hand most diligent loafer
Till the boss said he'd make good chauffeur
Now the first thing he did gave the owner jar,
For the lad said he'd like to repair his own car.
Well, he got it apart by the very first night,
With the help of where the bolts set tight
And the boss when he it, just dropped in seat
But the language he used wouldn't do to repeat.
1t was lucid, and lurid and sparkling, and clear,
And his subsequent actions also sincere.
Geel the chauffeur glad his boss wasn't mob
But he's getting we'll now, and is hunting job.

LTbere will be no use for referee III
the ring except to break the boys OUT
of a clinch and keep them fighting ac-
cording to rules. Since no decision can
be rendered, each boy is placed upon
his mettle to make the result so de-
cisive that there can be no difterence
of opinion or argument afterwards.
Whatever Wolgast may have done IN
the little frameup, which the rams
have passed over very lightly, counts
for naught tonight. If Wolgast goes
into this scrap and put up his usual
battle. he will win and will redeem
himself. otherwise, he will experience
setback that it will require long
time for him to overcome. In all
events, this scrap should be Wnlrl-
wind affair and the fans should get
good run for their money.
The entire card looks good. No duos
are carded for the prelim show, and
two or three great scraps are in pros
pect. When frankie Sullivan and
Young Turner hook up there sure Will
be some pugilistic transactions.
Neither is lacking in courage or the
punch. and each is about on an equal
basis regarding the clever work tnat
will help each along. Walter Fisher
and Chester Moss should fight to a
Knockout, beyond all doubt, and II
either is stopped it will be curtains

prevail and regardless Of weather con-

On the contrary, Baker tells his
friends that this is to be his make

nerience in the east and he has given
it out cold that he expects to whip
Wolgast so decisively that there VIII

Harry says that in his Homecoming
fight he hardly would have picked up
a live coal unless he felt assured that
he would make good. Harry is
speculative quantity with the fans
now. owing to the long time he mas
been away and the fact that he mas
improved wonderfully since he LETT
here. His confidence must be based
upon something, and the fans are look
ing for a great scrap tonight.
Undoubtedly, Baker has the clever
ness. speed and footwerk on Wolgast,
and he may make good his boast that
he will trim the feather near-cham"
pion. But nobody, excepting Attel,
has been found yet in this part of the
country who could give the Milwaukee
whirlwind a decent argument. IL
Baker is able to go through the ten
rounds with Wolgast and escape a
knockout punch, he has an excellent
chance of winning the decision on his
cleyerness and generalship. But, If
he attempts to mix it with the lad
from Schlitztown, he will run into
something that he seldom has eX-
perienced.
One 21ing seems absolutely certain.

; SENATOR TALIAFERRO'S
EFFORT TO EXPLAIN.
BrooksYille Argus.
: A~%&~~~~~~0@ %%> .

Hon. Frank L. Mayes, editor of the
Pensacola Journal, received a letter
from Senator James P. Taliaferro,
dated July 10, in which he undertakes
to explain his extraordinary, un
caIled-for and undemocratic vote TO
keep print paper on the tariff sched-
ule. His colleague, Senator Fleteh-
er, voted to place news-print paper
on the free list, where the last and
lost Democratic platform said it be-
Ionged.
Here is TaIiaferro's plea:
Il have tried throughout the con-
sideration of the tariff bill to vote
consistently for a revenue duty on
every article of import excepting only
the necessaries of life. | recognize
that the tariff is tax, and know no
good or just reason why newspapers
should be exempted while others are
required to pay.
The present duty on print paper is
$500 per ton, under which in it's sew
eral classifications it paid a revenue
Of about 100000. My vote was for
a duty of $500 per ton, or a substan
tial reduction
The Decorate platform plainly
said that wood pulp and news print
paper should be on the free list Thai
was a sufficient reason to influence
the vote Of a democrat. 1t controll-
ed F1eteher's, who, in this instance
at least, has shown himself a Demo =
crat in act and principle as well as in
profession. F.
Senator Taliaferro poses as a 'bUs-
mess senator. Sometimes the vote
| in the senate of a business senator
indicates the sacrifice and entangling
alliances he had to make to accom-
plish his ends. Between Fletcher and
! Taliaferro. we are free to admit that
our preference is for the man who
stands by and votes according to the
| instructions of his party's platform.

West Florida'S Pride
Will Be Put to a Test.

1t is clearly up to the citizens Of
West Florida TO do themselves, proud
in the way of subscribing money for
the purchase OF a silver service for
the battleship to be named in honor
of the state and which is expected to
be launched in the spring or 1911.
Subscriptions will be taken up in
other sections of the commonwealth,
and pride will dictate that this Sec
ton shall not be outdone by any
other.
It will, undoubtedly, be here in the
deep waters of our beautiful bay that
the presentation OF the service will
take place; for there is no other
port in the state Offering the neces-
sary accommodation and convenience
in point of location. This makes it
all the more imperative that this por-
ton of Florida should be extremely
liberal in contribution toward the
gift.
It is much to be regretted that the
bill introduced in the legislature for
the state to appropriate five thousand
dollars toward the price of the SER
vice failed to pass. This throws the
whole responsibility on the shoulders
of the people. And it is a RESPONSE
bility which, we feel sure, will be
met cheerfully and without grudge.
For the great peninsular state can
not afford to shirk an obligation of
so pronounced a character.
The Journal stands ready to re-
ceive any contributions which may be
left with it, and will gladly give it's
columns to acknowledge the same
and keep the public constantly in
formed Of the total receipts as they
make their appearance. And 1t is
time now to set the ball a-rolling.
The governor did well to appoint T.
A. Jennings, of this city, one of the
commissioners for the collection Of
subscriptions. Mr.. Jennings will, no
doubt, WELD a powerful influence in
leading the people OF West Florida to
do honor to their section by a show
of interest and liberality. So ali
augurs well for a successful issue,

Florida Settlers and
How to Get Them.

Now, as ever, the great question
before the state Of Florida, the ques-
ton which should receive the most
instant consideration of its construct
i've forces is the settlement Of the
right sort of people upon its broad
and fertile acres. There is room here
for millions. there is prosperity here
for millions, there is happiness for
them here within the soft embrace
ments of a climate which even the
Riviera cannot surpass.
But, while we should not be gov
erned by too exclusive a taste, care
should be taken to avoid as far as
possible an influx of settlers Of an
inferior type; and the following from
the Lakeland News therefore appeals
to The Journals sense of what is
wise and proper:
The project to import a large num-
Der Of Italians from abroad for the
purpose of founding a colony in
Manatee county. has fallen through.
The wisdom OF the experiment was
questionable, anyway. Florida in her
present stage needs people worse
than anything else, but she needs the
right kind Of people. and It is doubt
full if foreigners, unfamiliar with the
language, customs and conditions of
the country, would prove just the
right sort. Give US the Americanized
small farmers from the populous sec
lions Of our own country. and they
can build fortunes for themselves
and make an empire of the state.
The News voices q clear concep-
ton of the states needs. 1t develops
the crux of the situation. The i'm
portation into this sparsely settled
state Of great masses of uneducated,
unassimilated and, perchance, impov-
erished foreigners would prove an
immediate hardship rather than a
blessing. They would, for many
years, prove a dead weight which our
own people would have to bear-an
