That | shall never sing.

its joyous futtering.
Just how 1T goes | do not know:
And what it is about,
Though | have tried and tried again,

But this | know; when days are dark
And sulien is the air,
1t does not vex NV soul at all
Because that song is there.

MURPHY RESTS CROSS
 WHILE "PAL' MOORE IS
 WINNING FROM DRISCOLL

New York May 26-Tommy Murphy, the Pride of Harlem. trimmed Leach Cross to a finish last night in their ten-round battle before the Empire A. c. The fight was anything but up to expectations. Cross was willing to hold on at every opportunity and kept the referee working overtime separat- ing the fighters
 Whenever Murphy started to warm up, Cross drew back into his old fa- miliar shell and spared for time. In the opening session Murphy had mat ters all his own way. He kept pounda ing away at Cross with left to the face and then sent in some stiff rights to the body While this was going on Cross was wildly swinging at the air.
 In the next period Cross started hos tilities right after the bell and in a pretty scramble nearly closed Tommy S left eye with a hard left uppercut. Murphy got under full steam in the last minute and evened up matters. The third was all in favor of Murphy. Cross showed a flash for a second or two and then hid behind his gloves.
 The fifth was a fast session. Mur- phy came out feeling confident and battered Cross around the ring The East Slider wondered where the gloves were coming from. Murphy kept a left jab working overtime on Cross jaw and it never missed the mark. When Cross started to hug Tommy planted some stiff rights to Leach $ ribs and the latter toddled to his cor

CONvICT'S ANGEL
 PERSEvERES TO
 WEDDING POINT
Unfaltering L oval ty Wins Pardon For Man in
 Federal Prison,

Chicago, May 26.-Miss Ida c. East man, stenographer for the American Book Co.,, is the sweetheart whose un- faltering loyalty and perseverance, won clemency for Charles H. Thornton, convict in the federal prison at Leav- enworth Kan. Her reward will be Thornton as a husband. She resides with her widowed mother Mrs. Sarah F. Eastman, at 6316 Greenwood ave- nue.
 The young woman's name was brought into the case on February 27, 1907, the day Thornton and William w. Baker were arrested for embez- zling $9,4OO from the Hamilton Ma tional bank, but officials of the bank kept it from the public.
 Thornton is a Canadian. His mother and father died when he was boy and his care fell to four sisters. When he came to Chicago to accept a clerk ship in the bank in 1903 they accom- panied him and procured him a room in the residence of F. Agnew, an old family friend, at 5409 Calumet avenue. For long while he never ventured out nights, but later he desired the on him.
 At the time of his arrest he pos sessed this wardrobe:
 One dozen suits of silk underwear.
 Eight business and two evening suits.
 Silk silk hats and six business hats.
 Fifty shirts of various descriptions. eighteen pairs of silk socks.
 Numberless silk handkerchiefs. 7
 Thornton wasn't in prison a month before Miss Eastman addressed per- sonal petition to President Roosevelt He ignored her and rejected five sim liar petitions filed subsequently,. It
 h. trr rocid dnrlf Taft which caused him to cut one month of. Thorntons sentence "so there could be a Christmas wedding" ,"
 Early in the fight Miss Eastman enlisted the aid of s. J. Darragh, a corporation lawyer, who had been a personal friend of her father, the late Wellington Eastman, and later Attor- ney B. B. Sterne was interested. The latter reached the presidents ear with the young woman's petition only few days ago.
 In her successful plea Miss East ham promised to marry him upon his release, promised to procure him em- ployment and gave her personal, guar antee that Thornton would lead an ex- emplary life hereafter. Furthermore, she said her monthly salary of $50 would suffice for both until he found employment.
 Miss Eastman evidently expected VlS1tS IrOm T6pOrleTS, IOr S1G fToHldlIl- ed absent from work and members of the household declared she was not at home. But she was caught nap ping.
 Miss Eastman is not here," she said to a reporter.
 "Yes she is. am talking with her," replied the reporter. You are the same girl who became hysterical when I called here three years ago. Can't you tell me about the wedding ?''
 70, I don't know a thing about it.; it's all news to me- she began argu- ing when her mother hastily stepped forward and said: "Ida come away from the door,"
 Miss Eastham's intention to marry Thornton has been known to her per- sonal friends for some time and many of them have tried to discour- age her. It is said the lawyers who, it is understood gave their services gratis, at first demurred against aid- ing her, but were influenced by her earnest pleadings.

MINISTER'S SON CRITICISES CHURCH For Wasting Time Over Prize Fight When There is Real
 Work to do Points Out a Few Things Which Ought to be Considered But
 Are Ignored

New York, May 26.-Bolton Hall, son of pr. John Hall, for years pas tor of the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church, yesterday in an open letter to the General Assembly of the Pres byterian church condemned that reli- gious body for deigning to notice such a thing as a prize fight and devoting time to it's condemnation when, he says, there are other shrieking evils to which the church should give at tention White slavery, child labor and the higher cost of living are some of the things Hall believes the church could discuss with better profit than the big fight.
 Hall says it is enough to make any one indignant that the church should waste it's time over probably harm less fight between two roughs. He as serts that he is the son of a clergy man and himself a member of the Presbyterian Church.
 "Yet," he says, '1t makes me sick to see the petty ineffective tfmeserv- ing of the church organizations. When ever there is a real fight on against a social or political evil the churches are sure to be found dragging a red herring aross the trail that leads up to franhise grants and big business, with crusade aeainst some such E, craps. They are doing 1t now in Brand Whitlock's fight in Toledo. And here when England is turned upside down over Premier Asquith's war against poverty through the tax on land held out of use, and even America is awakened to the value of her lands, the soul destroying horseplay of two bruisers.
 "Verily, it must amuse Satan more to watch the General Assembly of the Church of God than to watch the prize fight. I am not blaming the churches. They need the support of the rich and are doing their best to keep alive. But business common sense should show the churches that the appeal to their women ought to be not just to stop two men from joy ously hammering each other, but to induce the members to utter their pro- tests in their respective neighborhoods in such a way that no foothold should be afforded for the holding of land idle and men idle in consequence"

 REAL TRAINING
 FOR BIG BATTLE

real work. The big negro is equally holding fat and his stomach would do credit to a Chicago Alderman. To rid this stomach of fat in month he will have to do far more work than at present.
 Jeffries is still snarling at the pleas ant old men he has gathered around him as trainers" Joe Choynski used to be a wonderful fighter The past tense is used advisedIy. Bob Arm strong, though black as the ace of spades, carries streak of yellow as broad as his back. He's a good rub Der for a Turkish bath house, but it's almost an even money bet poor old Bob Fitzsimmons could go into the ring without training and beat him to death in ten rounds. Sam Berger is fat enough to make an tanchor" in a tug of war but was never a glttering success in the prize ring. Jack Jeff ries is the only man able to fight and he isn't able to give Jeff enough work Since he has been in training Jeffries has done about 25 rounds of real train ing.

ner blowing like a whale. The next round was a repetition of the fifth. Cross was as wild as March hare, while Murphy gave him a terrible drubbing. Tn the seventh Murphy rocked Leach's head with a bunch of left swings and gave him a fusilade of right body blows that took the steam out of Leachie.
 The ninth and tenth rounds were the best. Cross realized that he had to fight an uphill fight to get a draw and took a chance. He found out that he had a right uppercut that hurt and worried Murphy when the latter caught it on the jaw several times Nevertheless Murphy got in some tell ing wallops. The final mixing was a good windup.' The boys slugged from the second they met until the bell rang Murphy made him look foolish. When the bell changed Cross was all in while Murphy was practically fresh.
 Philadelphia. May 26-Pal Moore, the Philadelphia Phantom, by landing real solid punches on the anatomy of Jem Driscoll, the ''Welsh Ghost., won the honors from the visitor in a great six-round contest here last night
 The result was a great surprise to ell concerned. with the exception of Moore, who was the most confident boy in the world when he entered the ring. Without detracting in the least from Moore's credit it must be said that Driscol1 did not display half the cleverneSs and speed that he showed against Abe Attell and other pugilistic stars on his former visit to these shores.

 The proposition of an extra umpire in the Connecticut league is before Supervisor of Empires Kennedy. He wishes to have a fifth umpire so that the double umpire system may be used in games where there is likely to be exceptional rivalry, and such rivalry, it is claimed has already been shown. An effort will be made to have Umpire Fahey reconsider his resignation. Umpire Lachance will commence his duties today as all league games were postponed yester- day owing to the weather.

OGDEN BALL CLUB ARE "GENTS," ALWAYS,
 NEVER BOOZE FIGHTERS

Sporting Editor of The Farmer, Sir:
 I wish, through your paper to deny a report in regards to the Baseball Team of the Ogden Athletic club be- ing nothing but a bunch of booze fighters who do not know what 1t is to be sober to play game of ball.
 I wish to state that the Ogden Attn 'letic club is composed of young men who are all gentlemen and act as such always, and we are sorry that such a report is in circulation.
 We are ready for games with any teams who would like to play us. We play the strong Monarch Athletic Club of Stratford at Seaside, Sat. 2S, and the strong Nichols team on Dec oration Day, by which games we hope we can prove ourselves ball play CTS, not 'booze fighters"
 We would especially like to hear from the Fairields, Brooklawn Coun- try Club, and any team wishing for game can communicate with,

 San Francisco. May 26-There isn't the slightest doubt that James J.

Fight fans. however. are mighty anxious to know when these two giants are going to do a little real training for their coming fight" For road running, while highly commended for improving the wind, never landed a knockout punch. And knockout punches are greatly to be desired by men expecting to win the worlds championship.

Ballot and Fitz Herbert Will Come Together on
 Sheepshead Bay Track
Special from United Press.)

New York, May 26.-A real old fashioned "hoss-race' is scheduled to take place on the famous old Sheeps- head Bay track on opening day, when Ballot and Fitz Herbert come togeth er Horsemen are bitterly disappoint- ed that these two cannot meet in the classier Brooklyn handicap, run Tues day next at Gravesend but Ballot is not eligible.
 Fitz Herbert has been given the laurels as the greatest runner on the American track but Ballots wonder full performance yesterday when he won a mile and a sixteenth handi- cap at Belmont Park stamps the stall lion as one of the greatest thorough breds. The Keene horse picked up 1z7 pounds and did the distance in 1:27, making his own pace. After his weird performances in England it was a relief to his owners to know that he is back in condition.
