cut the big fellows face to ribbons. After the 1anlky Cornisfman got tired Jeff sent over a few wallOps and Fitx tobogganed to the down and out di- vision. And remember that Johnson will never class with Fftz when 1t comes to real hitting.
 T suppose you will say that Jeff ample my fight with Young Jim Stew art When hooked up with that big imitation I had Is days to prepare. took off 15 pounds, but was in no shape when I climbed into the ring. Yet Stewart proved a mark to me. With Jeff it is entirely different. He has been training lightly for nearly one year and when he fights it will mean nearly Is months of work This, in my opinion, will more than offset his long retirement from the ring. It would not surprise me if Jen entered the ring so far improved over his old condition that he will be simply fighting marvel. This battle will not find Jeff spending much time getting a line on Johnson. If there Is one person in the world who is hated by big fighting man will enter the ring with one idea and that is to smash Johnson down as quickly as possible. And 1t is very seldom that Jeff fails to make good. Gameness is absolutely necessary in a big fight. We all know that Jeff doesn't know what fear is. But how about Johnson? I don't think world There is nothing about the fight that can make me give Johnson even possible chance. And when it is all over the negro's admirers will be won- dering how they ever figured he was in the same class with Jeffries"

GAMBLERS GOT AssTE,N.
Pirates' First Baseman Was Their Target-Abuse Broke Up His Game.

The latest story on the downfall of Bill Abstein at Pittsburg Is told by the Cleveland Leader, which says 1t was due to the continued prosecution of back of first base. The story follows: When Manager Frank Chance was ordered from Forbes field by Umpire Elem in that memorable series be- tween the Pirates and the Cubs the thousands of Pittsburg fans arose in their seats and cheered-the ump.
 The club manager restrained his anger and stilled his tongue until he Then he yelled two words. They were: Crap shooters"
 And thereby hangs ta tale. Manager Fred Clarke says he win win another pennant with his Pirates. And he says he will win because he has found a successor to Bill Abstein in Bud Sharpe, recruit secured from the Newark team of the Eastern
 So passes Bill Abstein. Why? Man. eger Chance told the stody when he howled. "crap shooters"
 Baseball players will tell you that first base in Pittsburg is the most diff f1cult position in baseball to play Not because of the lacation of the diamond Not at all. But because of the fellows that congregate back of first base.
 The Pittsburg sports like to bet on baseball. Not when the game is on. That isn't permitted. But down town they make books and large sums of n oney are wagered. You can get aI- most any kind of 8 bet you want that the Pirates will win; that the PiratSs will lose. But always at odds that tav- CT the gamblers
 Then they congregate back of first base. And they make life miserable for the first baseman. They aren't fans, you know
 They are gamblers. And when their
 money Is against the Pirates they get after the first baseman- And when first baseman errs they get after him. For. being gamblers, they have no for tearance. They want Pittsburg to win So they can collect.
 We'll, they got the nerve of Bill Ab- stein He played a corking game in the arly months of the year year. You remember when he was cheercd as one of the finds of the year He was Iera 1ded as the man who had made the defense impergnable. He was cheered ss the man long sought-a good Pirate f1-s- bHseman-
 Then the gamblers got after him. Day after day they plugged at him. And firally they got the nerve of the hr5t basenlaE Toward the latter part of the seas ,n he was referred to as a bone head. Rut it wasn't discovered until the ga rfsers got his nerve
 It didn't require Hugh Jennings .ong to make the discovery and Abstein was played as the weak individual of 2 the aggregation all through the series.

He gives for the cause of this dearth of gootrotting ma terial the great demand in the east for Kentucky bred trotters, especially the get of Peter the Great, Moko, Walnut Hall, Jay MeGregor and other great Kentucky stailions, and the high prices realized for yearHngs and 2 year ol6s in New York and Chicago markets have caused many breeders. who in the past had their youngsters trained at the Lexinton track, to send them to the market, and in this way the horses pass into hands of trainers who have their headquarters in the east, and many of them who desire their horses to be ready for early racing winter them at Memphis.

in Brooklyn when Yank was down and out. Poor Yank denies this. A re- citaI of Kenuy's troubles reveals Johnson's weakness for high living and some of his training methods. After telling about the good job he left to be Johnson's trainer. Tank goes on to say:
 "rhe worst of it came at Cedar hole in the woods and hired cottage. Then he went out and bought COW and a calf. That was so he could have the fresh milk to drink. Then he bought a litter of pigs, for he likes pork better than automobiles Then, instead of staying down there and training. he used to get into his buzz wagon and come fo Chicago every day and sometimes he didn't get home until I was milking the COW in the morning.
 T also had to take care of the pigs. There were nine or ten of them to start with, and it was quite a job. Did I get any ribs and backbonesH Not l. Johnson is a big man and hearty eater and cne small rig had no chance with him. I never saw n the calf would stay away for a long afternoon while I was taking nap after my housekeeping labOrs. and then it was Yank out in the woods to round her up in time for supper. in case the champion boxer of the world might come down from the city with aamotor full of friends.
 Johnson Fond of Entertaining.
 You see. Johnson was awfully fonl of entertaining: so fond. in fact, that he wasn't always careful when hc cn- tertained. Well. sometimes when had just got the place cleaned up and the empties thrown into the cellar, Jack would come tearing down the road with as many friends as the car would hold in the seats and on the footboards and then my troubles would begin. always have been fond of my little sleep. Sometimes I didn't get any until the crowd had caught the noon train back to town the next day Then Johnson, for some reason, don't why maybe it was remorSe or maybe he thought l wasn't earning my money but at any rate he would insist on me getting on the gloves for i5 or 20 rounds. And he never spared me. Mind you l am not complaining about the bumps, for those come m me busl- ness, but I kind O thought it was rubbing it in.
 Laughs, Though Sore.
 ''When look back at 1t now I have to laugh until I remember l am short S2,000 back pay. There we were in that wretched little cottage, two big fel- lows sIamming away at eac hother and making noise enough to be heard two miles off on a still afternoon. There was something uncanny about it that might have got on the nerves of some fellows with even the grasshoppers Tn the weeds outside stopping to listen to the furniture getting tramped to pieces as we exchanged wallops.
 well, the trainer sighed, that was the way it went along. Johnson spent plenty of money, but ! never saw any of it after the first few weeks. Why I had to borrow money of a neighbor woman to get my laundry out. I had to keep looking as neat as possible on

UNNATURAL THINNESS
 EASILY CORRECTED
Fly Clever Prescription Which Can
 Be Filled et Any Drug f -z StOrs
No Need to Be Thin Now as Reports
 Show This Method Ef- f' fective

People who are very thin and scrawny ought not to be so. Undoubt- edly they are more subject to disease and contagious than the normally fieshy. Thinness is usually accS1>- panied by weakness, and weakness subjects any one to colds, coughs, con sumption, pneumonia, etc. It has been discovered, almost by accident, that tincture cadomene, when combined in prescription with proper accelerat tive medicines, becomes one of the most valuable. effective. and reliable nutri- tive or flesh making medicines known to- science. It is especially beneficial to men and women between the ages of 16 and 55, who from lack of proper nerve force and digestion remain un- developed in body. limbs. arms and bust. A we'll rounded symmetrical fig ure in man or woman indicates health, magnetism, stamina and happiness.
 The reader who wishes to add from 10 to 40 pounds should not fail to be- gin with this valuable prescription:
 First obtain of any well stocked druggist three ounces of essence of pepsin and three ounces of syrup of rheubarb in an eight-ounce bottle Then add one ounce compound essence cardiol. Shake and let stand two hours. Then add one ounce tincure cadomene compound (not cardamom). Shake well and take one teaspoonful before each meal, one after each meal. Drink plenty of water between meals and when re- tiring. Keep up this treatment regu- larly and of certainty from one to three pounds will be added to the weight each week, and the general health will also improve.

 Trying to Rob Building

E. L. Snider was shot yesterday evening in the hip when he attempted to escape from Officer Bentley.
 While patrolling his beat Policeman Bentley saw a man trying to break into building at Seventeenth street and Third avenue. He watched the man until he was sure he was attempting to rob the place. He then started toward him to arr rest him, but the fellow saw the officer coming and started to run.
 Bentley commanded him to stop, but he kept on, and the policeman shot, hitting the fleeing burglar in the fleshy part of the hip. The wound Is not serious as there were no bones struck by the bullet. The man was taken to St. Vincent's hos pital where he will be kept few days until any danger from the wound Is passed and then he will be turned over to the authorities and tried before Judge Feagin for burglary.

ALCALDE IS STILL
 CONDUCTING FAKES
Has Remained in Greater Bir-
 mingham All the Time
SOME NEW sPECIALT1Es
Sent on Man to Texas to Manage His "Rsnch" and Hired Bunch of Car pentcrs To Do Some Build ing for Him
By WALTER HARPER

Astonished victims are still falling in the wake Of the pseudo "Alcalde' rom Jamaica in Birmingham.
 The story Of how "Alcalde' Jones came to Birmingham to find young woman to whom he had been commissioned 10 deliver third of million dollars leit her by an old sweetheart, and how ne smysteriously disappeared yesterday one week ago, is familiar to most of the newspaper readers of Birpningham. Daniel Jones, or E. D. Ennis, or what7 ever his true name may be, has never been more than eight miles from Bir- mingham since he pulled off the master stunt that gave Birmingham real thrill two weeks ago.
 Indeed. he walked up Twentieth street yesterday afternoon in the full glare Of the bright sunshine and in the presence of people who are hungering for one glimpse of his classic features
 He has been in Ensley and Birmingham since last Sunday day and night and yet no man has been able to put finger on him for more than 10 minutes at time.
 Is still Taking
 He is still working his pet speciality, high-handed faking, at which business he is brilliant success.
 He starts something new and wonder fully brilliant every day and conhding people fall into his net as easily and as naturally as flies tangle up on fly paper
 One man has just returned from New Orleans where the "Alcalde' sent him to accept position as superintendent of magnificent cattle ranch in Texas. On reaching New Orleans the bubble broke and the man was stranded. He managed to get back home in Birmingham and join the eager crowd that would like to get
