Schulken. He came out OF the ANA
teur ranks. where he had always been
a winner, and went against "Gunboat'
Smith. He lasted seven rounds. The
only thing that he has n chance in In
the future is the excuse club" When
the count was given him and he recov
cred sufficiently from the shock to be
able to say something, he claimed that
a low blow landed on him in the sixth
round and killed his chances.

Billy Madden has in hiding upon his
farm, and our old friend of Ridgefield
Park, N. j., Jim Stewart and Joe
Jeanette knew the latter and declared
that he might be some good some day
if he will take enough time off the
trolley car he manages to do some
training.
AS the time for the fight draws near.
err general opinion seems to be swerv-
ing to the side of the negro man.
When the match between Jeffries and
Johnson was first talked about it was
"Jeffries will turn that black man
white" with a majority of those who
like to dope out winners of fights. Now
there is no such expression used.
Those who pride themselves on their
good record at doping coming events
have asked to be excused from saying
anything.
The most logical opinion of the prob.
able result Is that of Billy Muldoon,
the man who once trained John L. Sui
Ivan and who knows as much about
the physique of man as physician.
Muldoons opinion would seem to in.
dictate that Jeffries is forlorn hope.
"An athlete cannot absent himself
from the ring for so long a period and
then come back as good as he was
when he left it, especially if he has
led an indolent life or a life that has
not had healthful attachment to it,"
is the way he talks.
| He argues that, although there is
little difference between the ages of
the men, the negro has the advantage,
and what is more in his favor, he has
been in continuous action for the past
six years, while Jeffries has done moth
ing in the pugilistic line during that
time.
81 should not be at all surprised"
said Muldoon, "to see the outcome of
the fight very similar to that which
occurred in New Orleans when Corbett
wearied Sullivan into defeat by his
youth and staying ability. When men
get on in years, they wear down in
any contests, especially so when they
have been out of the game for some
time. 1t is 100 to 1 that Jeffries will
never be able to punch the bag as long
and as hard as he could six years ago,
and that is the best indication that
he is not as good as he was"

Lack Of Water Causes Trouble.

In connection with the local electric
light situation the present manage
ment of the Norfolk Electric Light and
Power company made a statement to
News reporter.
They say that the problem of a
central station always is to anticipate
the equipment needs in advance and
that their company has always been
successful in this until very recently
when a combination of circumstances
seemed to render this impossible.
when the present management
took hold of this plant, which was in
1885," said e. A. Bullock, the presi
dent, "the company owned just one,
half mile of pole line and was charg
ing for current at the rate of "a cents
per kilowatt whereas we now have in
the city of Norfolk over forty miles of
pole line and our highest rate is 10
cents per kilowatt."
"At that time" continued Mr.. Bull.
lock, "the equipment of the power
house consisted of a 6O-horsepower
high speed engine and two Edison BIZ
polar generators, or dynamOS, which
machinery even at that date, was OBJ
solete. The circuits were all direct
current and service was only supplied
during the hours between dusk and
midnight
"In 1900 the company decided on a
policy of extension, in face of the fact
that the business at that time was
most Improbable. 1t was decided that
the method of distribution then in
practice was not suitable for a city
covering the territory that Norfolk
does, so the entire lines were rebuilt
and new lines constructed in parts OF
the city which had not been able to
have service before. These new lines
were built for high tension distribu
ton, the Juice being supplied by a
new 200-horsepower Corliss engine and
a Westinghouse alternator-the high
tension circuits were 22O0 volts, trans

Jeffries Has Been lndoIent, the Negro
Busy, Argues "BiIIy."

New York, Jan. 3.-,t Jack Johnson
beats Jim Jeffries in that Fourth of
July fight it looks very much as if the
pugilistc championship will remain
with the negro race until Jack gets too
old and feeble to put up his hands.
There doesn't seem to be a man in
the heavyweight division this day who
looks like he will ever be champion,
or even a near-one. Just a few days
ago list of candidates for the crown
was mentioned, but since then the
light of ambition has been dimmed in
two.

remove one black spot from the pug

City next Tuesday night you will
agree with me that the big fellow is
ready right now to fight for the cham
pionship," writes Gotch to the sport
ing editor of the Star. 81 have been

for a minute that he has lost his speed.
He races around Sam Berger like a
cooper around barrel and he certain
ly has strength. | have been wrestling
with him and can vouch for his
strength. He considers this tour only
little preliminary workout, but, be-
lieve me, before he is through he won't
carry one ounce of surplus flesh.

gins training for his fight with John

Hit Bv Train,

Cunning County Democrat: On Tues
day afternoon as Adam Peatrowsky
was driving across the railway track
near the postoffice, the engine Of a
freight train coming from the west
struck the rear end of his wagon
breaking off one of the wheels. Mr..
Peatrowsky was thrown violently out
Of the wagon upon the ground, barely
escaping with his life. His team ran
away and later was taken up near the
river bridge. 1t appears that the en-
gineer was not looking ahead at the
moment, neither was Mr.. Peatrowsky
aware of the approaching train, until
the crash came. Aside from a bad
shaking up and a terrific shock, Mr..
Peatrowsky suffered no further in
juries from the accident. 1t was an
exceedingly narrow escape from death.
