Everything Now
Settled For Fight

Now that the date. place ana
purse for the fight Of centuries have
all been settled. interest will, IL pos
sible, become more keen in the Jeff-
Johnson fight than ever in the
past.
Salt Lake City having been chosen
as the place where the great battle
is to take place on JULY next year
everyone who has any chance of
getting there to see the champion
ship go Is already figuring on how
the trip is to be made.
San Francisco would have been an
easy matter for most people, and the
oversee contingent from Australia
and New Zealand could have arrang-
ed things to suit themselves. As
It Is now the sporting bunch will
surely be around the ring side at
Salt Lake City. but they will have
had strenuous time making con-
nections and arranging for accommo-
dations In advance.
Every day on the mainland ex
perts are arguing the possibilities OF
the fight. and the opinions seem to
be SO varied that II gives man a
headache when he tries to boil down
the different predictions OF the coast
followers of the game.
The coming scrap will be the
most sensational that has ever been
pulled of with gloves. II is a case

PENALIZED.
PHILADELPHIA. Sept. ~

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. a.
They're off.
After a nights rest as the guest Of
Father Penn, the contestants in the
great Frank A. Munsey reliability
automobile run wended their way
through the city's great heart this
morning and set out on the second
leg of the long journey that takes
them to Boston and back again to
Washington, the starting point.
With puTing motors and snoring
exhauSts, the procession Of cars got
under way at 9 O'Clock from the
Hotel Walton, headquarters of the
tourists during their stay in this city,
and in forty minutes not a semblance
of the mighty host remained but the
smell Of gaSOlene and the remem-
brdnce Of a motor caravan.
SECOND DAY START.
The pilot car, carrying Chief
Pilot Quirk, was the first to hit the
motor trail. 1t toed the mark at 7
O'Clock and was off like a streak
to lead the way for the serpentine
line of tourists that followed two
hours later.
With it went the second pilot car
or confetti car with Assistant Pilot
Engel as the lone passenger. The
latter car left its mark in the way
of a tiny ribbon of pink and green
bits of paper that twisted and
turned about the corners which the
contestants must follow in keeping
to the true course.
The Getaway.
The getaway was accomplished with
a grand hurrah OF excitement in which
hundreds OF motor enthusiasts and ad-
mirers Joined. The scene about the
Hotel Walton as the contesting cars
prepared 10 get under way was much
like the mobilization Of a giant feet
in Hampton Roads for a dash around
the equator.
City Hall square. where the cars
were stored during the night, bristled
with nervous tension as prepara-
tions were made for the start. The
honking OF horns and hum Of many
motors combined TO make a scene
memorable in the history OF the
quaint old City Of Brotherly Love.
Drivers and observers had the
strictest kind OF orders TO report at
the starting point in time to be of at
9 O'Clock. Because one car was heaV-
uy penalized for being late at the
start OF the first days run. the con
testants came early to the post and
squirmed with anxiety in their desire
to be OF on the long journey over the
Keystone speedway that leads into
New York State and on 10 Boston.
Enthusiasm High.

competition thoroughly soaked into the

DIRECTOR EXPLAINS

By THOMAS S. RICE.

Jimmy McAleer, at present manager
Of the st. Louis Americans. has prac-
tically been signed to manage Wash

the stock. James will not get the
stock. but he Will manage just the

The fact that Ban Johnson headed
of the Washington directors from re-
engaging Cantllon as manager caused
a wave OF protest in Washington TODAY
over the butting In Of the American
League president. Three or four wears
ago he used to butt IN every few min

holders headed by Mr.. Moves woke IN

deavors 20 run this club as we'll as the

Johnson's Hazy Charges.
Johnson charged in hazy sort Of
way that Cantillon was unloyal 10 the
American League, that he was persona
non grata with two Of the owners Of
other clubs, and that the newspapers
were against him. The last time ne was
in Washington Johnson made talk along
these lines TO the leading officials Of the
local club and advised that Cantiuon be
not re-appointed. but the stockholders
thought they could handle their own af
fairs according 10 their best financial
interests and decided to 20 ahead and

Goes softly in some garden place,
With the old smile time may not dim
Upon his face.
He who was a lover Of the spring,
With love that never quite forgets,
Surely sees roses blossoming,
And violets.
Now that his day OF toll is through,
love to think he sets at ease
With some old volume that he knew
Upon his knees.
He who so loved companionship
l may not think walks quite alone,
Failing some friendly hand to slip
Within his own.
Those whom he loved aforetime still,

Where he may be.

Surely the things he loved best

Messengers.

South Wind whispers to the flowers
Hiding in the grass,
Thro' the long bright summer hours;
"Soon your time will pass"
Flowers pass the word along
Nod it to the trees;
And the birds with lifting song
Send their jubilees.
Thro' the hazy, misty air, e.
To the tasseled corn
Dancing in the sunshine fair
Of the dewy morn.
Fen the farmer feels the spell
As the scythe he swings;
For the Bending g%rass-blades tell
What their ripening brings.
As the North Wind moaning low
HES him from his lair,
Autumn with her golden glow
Fills the balmy air.
And the harvest days foretell
Hours Of welcome reft;
When the freIight's magic spell
Shall it's worth attest.

When She Makes a Hit.

She does not paint as artists do,
Nor any other way.
But then she knows a thing or two,
And proves it every day.
She shows a lot of common sense
When things are gowing slow.
1t makes a deal of difference
To have her take it so.
No prima donna. is she
With voice of soulful song;
If she should try to sing-ah, me.
We couldn't stand it long!
The pianola has her beat
When playing is the fad,
But she looks good enough to eat,
And that's the truth, my lad.
She doesn't care a cent about
The Whichness of the why, :
Nor rack her brain to figure out
What's coming by and by.
| am not sure she ever reads
The very latest book,
Or knows about the newest creeds-
But my, how she can cock!
