can be had by ambitious young men and

are establishing stations throughout the

graphers. Positions pay beginners from $40

advancement. The National Telegraph

The contest between New Orleans and
San Francisco for the Worlds Panama
Exposition in 1915 runs merrily on. The
New Orleans Exposition Committee is dis
tributing throughout the country a 'losi-
cal point map, according to which there
are seventy cities within an average dis
tance of $40 miles from New Orleans, with
a combined population of 20,000,000,
while within the same average distance
of San Francisco there. are only eight
cities, having a combined population of
i 600 900 people. New Orleans principal
claim is that if the exposition be given TO
San Francisco the people Of this country
would be penaIized S200.000.0O0 in rail-
road fare over what it would cost to so to
the Crescent City.

THE CODE TROPHY
Driving Marmon He Leads Field in
2OO-NIile Race at indianapolis
Speedway.

Indianapolis, July 5.-Dawson, driv-
ing a Marmon car, snatched the vic
tory from Burman, with a Marquette
Buick, in the last five miles of the an
nual 2OO-mile race for the CODE trophy
at the motor speedway yesterday.
Burman, who had led nearly all the
long way, flashed over the wire of the
electrical timing machine only three
seconds behind the winner. A pause
for a new tire at the 195th mile cost
him the race.
Harroun of Chicago, in Marmon,
was a close third. Louis Chevrolet,
in a Marquette-Buick, who won the
Cobe event over the Crown Point
Qnd) road course last year, finished
fifth, behind Green, in an Alec. The

cubic inches piston displacement, was
cut down from 2:53 1881 to 2:43:3014.

The ball game at the celebration at

Port Byron player drove the ball out

and after the 18th round it was hope
less.
1t was the greatest demonstration
the ring ever saw of the failure of a
fighter to come back after years
of retirement. The youth and science
of the black man made JefTies look
like a green man. The great JeffrieS
was like a log. The reviled Johnson
was like a black panther, beautiful
in his alertness and defensive tactics.
JEFF Showed Gamcness.
Jeffries fought by instinct. it seem
ed. showing gameness and his great
fighting heart. but he was only a shell
of his old self.
After the third round Johnson
treated his opponent almost as
joke He smiled and blocked play
fully, warding off the bear like rushes
with marvellous science, now tucking
a blow under his arm. again plucking
it out of the air as a man stops a
baseball.
Out of the sea of openings these
pinnacles of fact have been cast up:
The fight was on the square. There
was no doubt of this after the first
