QUESTION IS: CAN
BARBSCOME BACK ?
Last Years Cricket Champions
Have Lone Chance to Re-
tain Title
FINAL STANDING OF THE CLUBS
By WILLIAM UNMACK

The great question in cricketing cir
cles during the last week has been,
Can the Barbarians, last years cham
pfons, come back p" The Bafbs last
week went down to defeat to the
strong Alameda team, and today they
are scheduled to meet the San Fran
cisco county team on the stadium
wicket. This is the last chance that
the Barbarians have of expecting to
retain the championship this year, and
even then they will to an extent have
to look to the other teams defeating
the Alamedas and the Wanderers in
at least one game, in the balance of
the schedule.
The Barbarians will have to win
the remaining matches of their pro-
gram for the season, otherwise they
will never come back" 1t is strange
thing that ever since the California
cricket association was organized, in
1907, the San Francisco team has never
defeated the Barbarian team
The other game to be played today
will take place at Alameda between
the Golden Gate team and the Alameda
eleven.
The Wanderers have an off day to-
day and the result of the Alameda
and Golden Gate game will definitely
settle which of the two leaders will
retain their present position.
B. Kortlang, who played with great
success here some few years ago, and
later went to New York, where he
was identified with cricket there,
has lately returned to Australia, and
has made good in his native country
as a first class cricketer.
The teams in todays contests will be
as follows:
Barbarians VS.. San Francisco
Barbarians-A. Anstey. s. Phillips. w. New
man w Thomas. +. Galley, A. Bartlett. B.
Ollerdessen. W. Marshall, r. Tyler, f. Browne,

JOHNSON WILLING AND
EVEN CHOOSES A DATE

CHICAGO, July 9.-Jack Johnson, the
pugilist. responded this afternoon to a
report that his defeated rival was
seeking new bout. johnson said:
Il will give Jeffries another chance
to win the championship if he wants
to. 1 will meet him at Reno on Labor
day If that suits him.
II don't believe Jeffries w1s in as
good condition on July as he was
two weeks before that, and for that
reason 1 am willing TO give him a
chance" said the champion Il don Z
want any dispute about my superiority
If they want to nix a fight for Labor
day at Reno 1 am willing to do my
part and there won't be any quarrel
about the division of the purse. either"
Johnson. in the course of his inter-
view, took occasion to reiterate his
charge that a former manager of his
attempted to FIX the fight for Jeffries
to win.
HE offered me 100000 providing
would bet half of 1T that Jeffries would
win in the eighth round. He know he
could not get that sum back by bet
ting on the outcome and so wanted it
fixed for certain round. And there
were lot of people led to believe that

they presented a beautiful appearance.
Many were present who have been
active members of the organization for
even more enthusiastic than the
younger element.
The evenings sentiments were ex-
pressed in the following verse, which
appeared on the illustrated menus:
We're once again in the old wood shelter
That the did not send helter SHELTER;
For a while she'd rock, and then she'd sway,

in a merry. humor, while the orchestra,
assisted by voluntary choruses, made

nervous prostration on the eve of every

While jeff seems to think he could
whip the negro and apparently wants
chance to prove it. there are many
here who believe this is merely the first
move toward big theatrical tour, with
Berger as one of the beneficiaries.
Even Jef's close friends seem to
think that he made sad mistake in
trying to re-enter the fighting game.
and are candid enough to say that now
the big fasco is over he would better
steer clear of the ring. Berger expects
to return to San Francisco tomorrow.

BETHANY PLAINS, RHEIMS, July g.
Many records have been broken at the
aviation meeting here during the week.
but the most sensational flights have
been made by Leon Morane, the French
aviator, who today,in a new 100 horse
power Bleriot monoplane. covered five
kilometers (3.10 miles) in 2 minutes

The most remarkable achievement of
a remarka bic day was that of Morane.
who made his flight of more than a
mile a minute while 10 other machines
were in the air. As compared with his,
they seemed to be standing still.
LIE Blanc will use the same type of
aeroplane in the Gordon Bennett con-
test and French experts consider that
he has a splendid chance to capture
the trophy. as the speed developed by
Morane today was more than four min

LANDING YOUR TROUT.

Fishermen, as a rule, are not prone
to take advice. However, Samuel G.
Camp in the June Outing. has some
valuable information which trout de-
votees would do well to read. In
one place he says:
when a trout is hooked, If the
banks are so brushy that you can
not beach or swing-nor throw
him out, the fish should be slowly
reeled in up to the leader knot, TAX
ing pains to avoid reeling the knot
through the tip guide and thus foul
ing the Line and them brought through
the brush by moving the rod back
ward, keeping it low. Many trout
will be lost by attempting to land
them in this way and the method
should only be used as a last resort
in the worst and most brushy places.
Move slowly and quietly, keep as far
back from the brook as possible
without using too long a line and thus
inviting disaster, and use delibera-
tion in the choice of methods for
fishing the various little pools, falls
and shadows. The first cast is the
one that counts.
when brush fishing. a good point
to remember is not to strike upwards.
but, rather, backwards. or toward
you. If you strike upwards a
missed strike always means
hang-up, but if you strike by pulling
the rod quickly toward you, always
keeping 1t down low, line fouling is
in great measure obviated. An effec-
tive method is to strike. not with the
rod, but by quickly pulling in the
line through the rod guides with the
left hand. The two-handed caster
who habdtually uses the slack line
cast. soon becomes very expert at
small trout in bushy streams
in this manner"

SUICIDE AT ALAMosA.

Last Friday morning S. A. better
known as Doc" Hubbard, placed
an automatic revolver to his right
temple and sent bullet crashing
through the base of the brain, dying
about 4:3O the same afternoon.
The cause leading up to his shoot
ing himself seems to resolve itself
into the fact that for the past four
months, since his discharge from the
employ of the Rio Grande as enga-
neer, on account of being in charge
of an engine when it blew up at
Blanca, worried Doc and ever since
he has never looked upon the bright
side of life, but sorely took to heart
his discharge. Recently, he INDUCED
too freely in drinking, no doubt think
ing to erase from his mind the un-
pleasant thoughts of being responsi
BILE, according to the Rio Grande com
pany, for the blowing up of worn
out engine.
Friday morning Doc had a little
trouble with his wife and mother
in-law, Mrs. Hobkirk. Mrs. Hubbard
and little daughter Nellie were in
their room upstairs. Doc and Mrs
Hobkirk. were down stairs having
unpleasant words, no doubt over
some imaginary trouble of Docs. He
tod Mrs Hobkirk that he was going
to kill the whole d-n bunch" The
two were in the laundry room. Doc
started upstairs through the hotel
office, but Mrs. Hobkirk ran up the
back stairs, gaining her daughters
room first Frightened almost to
death she told Mrs. Hubbard to
leave quickly. But the crazed man
came upon them and dealt Mrs. Hob
kirk a blow in the face telling
her to the floor Mrs. Hubbard grab
bed up her little daughter and
started to leave the room but her
husband hit her in the face breaking
her gold spectacles, and it is thought
that her nose is broken. Both OF
the women and child managed to get
out of the room.
Insane for the moment, Doc either
sat down on the bed or fell across
1t, for when parties got to him he
was stretched across the bed, the re
volver by his side and bloody, gap
ping pistol hole in his right temple
told the awful story of an awful trag-
edy.
Doc Hubbard, before his brooding
over his discharge from the Rio hand
company, was jovial, whole-souled
fellow, applied himself to his labors
and was considered a careful en-
gineer.
His marriage, four years ago to
Miss Mamie Hobkirk, was looked up
on by their many friends as an ideal
match and happy and peaceful wed
ded life was predicted for them. But
it is not ours to question their do
nestle troubles, If such existed, and
their little differences-al families
have them-were their own business.
Mrs. Hobkirk, mother of the strik-
en- wife, has been a resident of Al
amosa, and other San Luis valley
towns, for many years. The mother
and daughter are highly respected.

trouble will be noted with much
sympathy.-Alamosa Courier.

HOW PAULHAM DID 1T.

Navigation of the air is still mat
ter of human skill almost as much
as semitic solution of aerial prob
lens.
Paulham flew the other day from
London to Manchester, and our won
der was that a machine could fly that
far. rather than that a man could
drive an air ship so long a distance,
says the Chicago Evening Post. Yet
the London papers carry fuller de-
tails of the achievement which begin
to give the aviator his proper place.
Of the mere physical endurance re-
quired the special correspondent of
The Daily Mail says:
When he rose in the air at Hen
don he did not know himself that
he intended to fly to Manchester.
Perhaps l may and l may not was
all he would say.
Even on the first day the wind
was not of the kind which the avia-
tor would select for choice Paulham
has told me that never once during
all the way from London to Manches-
ter was he able to take his right hand
off the lever, although his custom is
TO rest it by occasionally driving
with the left, or even to let the
lever alone for a moment while he
restores warmth to his body by flap
ping his arms like a cabman.'
For over % hours. counting the pre-
liminary flights. that right hand had
to hold that lever. no matter what
the strain, no matter how numbing
the cold.
One interesting glimpse of the tech
nical ability required, the Mails cor
respondent gives as follows:
The most dramatic moment of the
light was Paulham's descent at Trent
valley. He was flying through dark
ness, when his machine came to a
dead stop, the petrol completely ex-
hausted. Underneath him was a
brewery; to his right were tall
chimney and some buildings, to his
left the railway. with high telegraph
poles and wires. and more buildings; /;
in front he could see nothing
There was nothing to do but turn
back in his track with sharp, fish
hook curve. Beneath him then was
railway bridge filled with motor
cars and crowded with people, and
ahead of that was a narrow field
inclosed in a perfect zariba of tele-
graph wires. He cleared the wires by
six feet ouly and alighted like a bird.
honestly believe that nobody but
PaGIham could have done it.
During the night Henry Farman
and paced the field and found that
at the most it was only 40 yards
long"
1t looks as If aviation, like every
other important change that has pre-
ceded it, is to prove again the won
derful adaptability of mans body
and mind. All of us will not be able
to run our own flying machines, but
there will always be men like Paul
ham, the Wrights, Bleriot, Farman
and Curtiss who seem to have been
created exactly for the perfect per-
formance of the new work which
civilization demands.
