GREAT EVENTS EMINENT IN PU.
GILISTIC WORLD.

This month should be fraught with
great doings in pugilism. Next week
is set the battle between Ketchel and
Champion Jack Johnson for the heavy
weight title; when that is over, pro.
viding that the big Negro wins, we
may hope to see some negotiations be-
tween Johnson and Jeffries which will
bring about a meeting between the
two.
AS the date for the Ketchel-J Johnson
mill has approached the Negro has be-
come a stronger and stronger favorite.
The chances are that when he enters
the ring he will be the prohibitive
choice in the betting.
Ketchel has many friends, who be-
lieve, or profess to believe, that their
man can win from Johnson 1t is inn
possible for me to see where the Michi-
gan lad has a lookin. Everything is
against him. In no respect has he
any advantage over Johnson, and the
latter ought to win easily enough
The failure of the New York pro-
motors to pull off the bout scheduled
between Ketchel and Sam Langford
brought a number of nasty stories in
its wake. 1t was said that the reason the
bout was prevented was because a
clique of gamblers who had bet heavi-
ly on the go came to the conclusion
that they we're in bad and did not wish
the fight to take place, as they feared
they would lose what had looked to
them like a lot of easy money.
How true this story is l do not
know. One thing is certain, however,
and that is that there was something
strange in the way the fight was de-
clared off at the last minute.
1t never looked to me like cinch
that Ketchel can whip Langford Ket-
chel is not a great fighter in the sense
the term is usually applied to men of
the ring There is no question of his
bulldog courage; nor is there any ques-
ton of his confidence in himself
These are great attributes for fight
er, Of course, but something more is
necessary.
Ketchels confidence in himself is so
great that he is often spoken of as
being conceited. 1t is probably true
that he believes that he can defeat any
man in the world. But this belief
! alone does not make him able to do
the trick

coLoRED MAN is CLEVER TOO.

Johnson hit Burns sufficiently hard
to render him so weak and groggy
that it became necessary to stop the
fight in order to save Tommy from a
cold knockout. He could not have
lasted another round, the correspond
ents stated at the time.
The answer is that Johnson will
catch Stanley coming in and beat him
in decisive fashion if he essays any
such tactics. If, on the other hand
Ketchel stands off and tries to out
box the black fellow, he will be made
fool of and chopped to ribbons.
Johnson is likely to win, no matter
how one figures it, for it goes without
saying that a good little man cannot
heat a good big man.
Even if Ketchel was as skillful
boxer as Johnson, he would still be
greatly handicapped He will doubtless
give a good account of himself, for
he is game anr aggressive fighter,
with plenty of youthful vigor and any
amount of confidnce, but there can be
hut one ending to the battle, barring
accident Johnson will stop him with
in the limit.
The Nashville globe. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1906-193?, 1909-10-08

With Ketchel out of the way, taking
it for granted that johnson will de-
feat him, the Jeffries match will be in
order. The big Californian has
stirred himself out of his retreat at
Carlsbad. He went over to Paris for
few days and while there announced
that he really is anxious to meet John
son.
By the way, the story is that JEFF
fries did not go to Carlsbad for the
baths at all, but went there to have
quiet while he underwent an operation
on his nose. 1t seems that there was
growth in his nose which interfered
with his breathing and he wished to
have this cut out before he began real
training for a bout with Johnson.
There has been so much talk and
wrangling over a possible match be-
tween Jeffries and Johnson that l am
pretty skeptical concerning the chances
that such a match ever takes place.
There are plenty of reasons, which
any one can see, why Jeffries is not
anxious to fight again. There is no
reason that he should, if he does not
wish to do so, but there is no salts
factory reason why he should tell the
public that he intends to fight if in
reality he has no intention of doing
so.
Jeffries has gained nothing in popu-
larity by his dilatory tactics in carry
ing on negotiations with Johnson
The latter, on the other hand, has
made great strides forward in popular
estimation He has shown that he is
anxious to fight; that he is ready to
defend his claim to the title, and that,
moreover, he is ready to fight any man
who thinks he has a chance to win.
Johnson is great fighter-one of
the greatest of the age. 1t is nearly
time this was generally understood.
When he won the championship from
Tommy Burns there was disposition
to sneer at Johnson and his claims
1t is true that the title won from
Burns was not so good title as such
things generally are in the heavy.
weight realm. But that was not John

CHICAGO R A MARKET.

CHICAGO. Aug. Further apprehen-
sion regarding possible damage to the
wheat crop in the northwest by black rust
caused a firm opening in the wheat mar
ket today, initial quotations showing gains
of a shade OF "a cents compared with Sat
urday's final figures Nearly all of the
gain. however, was soon lost on selling by
elevate interests.
The opening on September was at 1914
to 1o5hs. In the first few minutes the
price reached 1864. but soon eased off
again to 104ss.
A serious deterioration in the condition
of the corn crop of Oklahoma. as shown by
the State report. inspired considerable buy
ing of corn, Prices at the opening were
\ cent lower to sax higher, September
being at rr.s to 66h4. After touching 66 the
price vs. advanced to 66%.
Selling iy county commission houses
caused moderate weakness in the oats
market early in the day: September
opened Il to "a lower at IS to 5Si4. and
later sold at 3sasGa.
Provisions vert quiet and firm. Prices at
the opening were q shade to 1921 higher.

SIX BALLOONS FOR ARMY
AND NAVY OF BRITAIN.

LONDON, Aug. 2.-The sub-commit-
tee of the imperial defense committee
appointed to consider matters of avia-
ton has given a verdict In favor OF
rigid dirigible balloons for naval pur-
pose and non-rigid balloons for the
army. The aeroplane committee con-
siders that these machines possibly
may became valuable to the army, but
says they must be able to ascend to a
much greater height h a at present
has been achieved before they will be
safe for accommodating purposes. War
Secretary Haldane announced in the
House of Commons this afternoon that
In consequence of this report the adj
miralty had ordered a rigid dirigible
of the largest type from the Vickers.
and that the government factory at
Aldcrshot was busy with the construc-
ton of three non-rigid balloons and
two a%eroplanes of experimental pur-
poses.

WALL STREET NOTES.

Uptown sentiment-While ultra con-
~servative interests said that prices were
high enough, it was pretty generally
believed that the market would go
higher this week. 1t seemed to be
doubted that the active and broad mar
ket which has been predicted for some
weeks would begin Immediately. 1t
was thought. on the other hand, that
sl~eculatively the market would con-
tinue to be stimulated for some days
by the action of the directors of the
steel corporation with respect to the
common stock dividend by the actual
statement of earnings made for the
last quarter and by the probable adj
journment of Congress and the signing
of the tariff bill within a few days.
A dispatch from Pittsburg says: The
iron and steel trades as a whole re-
corded the greatest output of the year
during the last half of July. Demand
for structural material and the sudden
activity of car builders have braced
the market in finished product lines
despite the strike misfortunes in the
Pittshurg~ district and elsewhere, and
steel pipe-makers are preparing to fol-
low the lead of the rod and wire manu-
facturers and announce a substantial
advance.
Today is a bank holiday in London,
n all exchanges there and In Liver
pool are closed.
The foreign exchange market was a
shade steadier this afternoon, recov-
ering 5 to 10 points from the lowest
cables.

Ii o'clock.-The market had to meet
a great deal of realizing in the early

Southern Pacific began to show
strength at the end of the hour.
Noon-Southern Pacific was carried
to a record price at 1864, but this was
taken advantage of for realizing sales,
and the market reacted. Union Pacific,

a superfuity of work for everybody on
the farms-more work thai the farmers

1.-The corn crop bids fair to surpass
any Others crop in the history of the
country. The cotton crop will be rea-
sonably good, and the balance of the
crops above the average all along the
line
Good crops will make big hauling
for the railways, and that in turn will
entail the employment of full quotas of
engineers, fremen. train-hands and
freight handlers. This should tend to
the general improvement of conditions
in railway circles. ~
Prosperity is not going to wait on
the tariff or anything else. If any DIS
turbancei of conditions arises in the
body polite il will have to come FROM

Congressman Representatives, con-
ditions are improving slowly. Every
body knows that they are better now
than they were asyeaA ago. with the
settlement of the tariff discussion and
the end of the'incidental agitation, they
will mend more rapidly.

anyhow, and this bill will accelerate
the pace of prosperity's return"

No Attention to Politics.
The Interior cities and towns of the
country are paying little attention to
the political game in Washington. The
mills everywhere are resuming full
time to fill current orders or preparing
for early opening. BY far the greater
part of the business world is attending
to it's daily business and letting the
question of tariffs future effect on
prices adjust itself.
In addition, the Pennsylvania road,
which recently placed one order for
5000, 900 worth of steel cars, has a ire
mendous amount of construction work
on hand. The Erie Is contemplating
raising 500, 000, 900, partly for improve
ment, and many millions are to be
raised by the Missouri Pacific, the
Gould lines generally, and, of course.
by the Hartman lines.
The wave of prosperity and CONNER
cial prosperity is flowing from West to
