TIP WRIGHT'S
C. 0 l. u M N

Bob Edgren, in the New York
Evening World. has criticised the
conduct Of Jim Corbett prior to and
during the JOhnson-J effries fight,
and taken a rap at Corbett for his
utterances since the fight.
Edgren has said that Corbett's
statements to the effect that JEFF
fries sat up all night before the
fight, that he vomited and that
Farmer Burns sobbed in the dress
ing room before the men entered
the ring because he realized Jeffries
had broken down. is all rot.
In concluding his roast of Gen
tleman Jim." Edgren says some day
the truth will come out, and that 1t
will make interesting reading. He
intimates COrbett knows something
which has not been made public.
There Is but one excuse for Ed
sren's attack, and that is the fact
that Corbett once knocked out the
noted sporting writer while Illus
trating the solar pleXus blow in
Cooper's gymnasium, New York. Ed
grsn had doubted the paralyzing Of.
feet of the punch after Corbett was
knocked out by Fizsimmons, and
Corbett proved II to hts satisfaction.
Now. happen to know something
about these incidents. Perhaps |
know more about them than Edsren
does, for the reason that was pres.
ent when jim Corbett got his infor-
nation and l know that he speaks
by the card.
1t wasn't until after the fight, on
Tuesday. when the Jeffries party
returned to Oakland, that this came
out. ! was the only Newspaper man
In the Jeffries car from Reno to
Oakland, and had every chance to
get the facts as related.
l heard Mrs. Jeffries state to her
friends In the car that Jim had not
slept at all the night before the
fight, and that he spent the night
sitting near a window.
l also heard Charlie tJack) JET.
fries tell Corbett that Jim had vom.
tied before the fight.
AS to the excess of emotion dis.
played by Farmer Burns In the
dressing room, I know nothing first
hand, but know that De Witt Van

port Corbett's statement that he
did so. because they told me SO.

SIX Runs IN ONE
SPASm KEEPS JINkS
ON BEAVER HEAVIER

We just want to hand it to that
elongated Gardner chap for being a
good sport and a game loser, for he
could smile yesterday afternoon,
and smile as IL he could really see
the whimsical side of 1t. when the
Killilay fellow beat him for the
sixth successive time in as many
weeks. For four innings the con-
test was ticketed like that memoir
able one last Monday. but in the
fifth Ue avalanche lit" and four
hits and some errors netted six
runs. After that the Beaver HEAVIER
smiled more than ever, and when he
was going back to town on the car
after the game he was still smiling.
Kismet. IT'S fate. That's the
way it must look to the tall one.
Netzel was hifted around to Sec
Ond and the Portlander, Hetling. Of

his old stand in left and the team
wasn't quite as cohesive as usual,
but that can be remedied in a game

A movement which has started

ready under way to accomplish two
things, to give the Indian warriors
reception that surpasses anything
that has been when they return

three weeks tour to the Coast, and
secondly, to raise fund Of $500
to be given to the players, $500 II

BARNES WINNER IN
GOLF TOURNAMENT

That was a great contest which
John M. Barnes. the Spokane crack
golfer, won at the open tOurna-
ment in Chicago yesterday. The
news that Jack Barnes was the
successful one in the last round
was received by wire in Spokane
last night and was the cause Of a
great deal of elation among coun-
try club members.
Barnes beat Jack Morton of Pc
oria, in the final struggle. Many
holes were halved and the contest
see-sawed along for long time.
giving the spectators a great run
for their money, the Spokane man
finally winning the consolation
flight one up in the 36-hole final. /.

many fans are backing it. John M.
Bum, H. D. Merritt and others say
that they will put in their mite and
canvass for cash. Cohn says he
will dig down in his jeans for 5000
and that he knows weber he can
obtain $500 more. Former Com
missioner Johnny O'Brien, Attor-
ney w. G. Donovan, Frank J. Dor
sey and the Rev. w. J. Hindley are
all boosting the scheme.
The reception when the Indians
return with the spoils Of the chase
is an idea Of Henry NJ. Saad's. He
is the man who put over the last
one and he ought to be given q
splendiferous one about three
weeks from now II he can get busy
and get lots of support.

What is the TRUTH
If Edgren knows as much as he
he ought to tell it. He
has placed Corbett in the light of
and does not conclude his
charges. 1t is only fair to Corbett
as we'll as to the public that the
truth, no matter whom it hurts, be
told, and told Immediately.

GOTHAM
GO" TAME ONE
by United Press Leased Wire)

(6y United Press Leased Wire)
NEW YORK, Sept. 3.-Fight fans
oday pronounced the bout between
larry Mansfield, the English
,crapper, and Harry Lewis, one Of
the tamest that has ever been
staged in New York. Through the
latter part OF the contest the spec
tators whistled and jeered while
the fighters poked and prodded
each other in style polite enough
for a pink tea exhibition. The
newspaper decision" went to
Mansfield, who showed more clev-
erness than his American rival, but
who failed to demonstrate that he
has the kick.

A big crowd turned out to watch
the nine spasms, as there's always
something doing in the Killilay-
Gardner 60. In the first, the first
three men on Vancouvers nonette
reached first, but were inglorious1y
nipped by Danny Shea's right whip.
After that. in the fifth, the Beavers
started things by scoring a run
when Frisk dropped fly, but only
once or twice after that did the
Beavers look as If they would score
and then they did, making the
final score to 3.
Bill Chinault kinked his curly
hair and also his flinging arm and
allowed the Tigers one hit, that a
fluke homer by Mott.

illustrations correctly, in nearly all in
stances. The wide range of books from
which the titles are being selected
will make it impossible for any person,
no matter how learned, to know them
all. In fact, it will be a contest where
too much knowledge of books may be a
dangerous thing, as it may lead the con-
testant to assume without careful in

arrived at Is the correct one. Therefore,
those who know the least about books
will be the most careful in submitting

A south-bound Clifton avenue car

three negroes and inJuring one of them
so badly hat he may die. One of the
van horses was badly cut and the con-
tents of the van were scattered about

SUNSHINE TO FOLLOW
STORM, SAYS WEATHER MAN
Two Days Downpour Resulted
in Flooded Cellars.

According to Prof William Wiener,
the local weather man, the heavy rain
which has been falling lmost continu-
ously since Saturday night, will cease
this afternoon, and Newarkers and res
idents of nearby towns will be able to
enjoy at least three or four days of
balmy, sunny weather.
While the downpour of rain did no
harm to crops in the country districts,
it made city trave most disagreeable,
turning the streets and roads into seas
of mud and delaying both wagon and
car traffic. Many minor accidents re-
suited from the slippery condition of
streets and sidewalks, and many build
ing trades suffered greatly from in
ability to york in the wet weather.
Cellars In the suburbs were flooded and
the unimproved roads in the, country
sections were almost impossible in
places.
The total precipitation as shown by
the instruments in the laboratory was
1.3 inches. 1t was thought that dawn
today would see the last of the storm.
but now a quick clearing-up is assured
for today or tonight.

FIREMAN FUSS RISKS
LIFE TO SAVE CHILDREN.
Boards Wagon and Throws Rum
away Horse to Street.

Fireman Benjamin Fuss is today a
hero in the eyes of his comrades OF
Truck No. 6 because of the n In
which he stopped a runaway just as il
was about to plunge madly into a
crowd of children who were playing In
the street n did not see the horse
approaching. The noise of roller skat-
ing also prevented their hearing the
hoofs of the horse as 1t dashed down
the street at a terrific rate.
While the f1remen were about the
fire-house in Washington avenue the
horse, which is owned by S. Bratter,
produce dealer, 80 Belleville avenue,
dashed by. Jumping onto the rear of
the swiftly moving wagon, Fireman
Fuss discovered that the bride was
gone and that the reins would not con-
troll the maddened animal, SO he
climbed out on the shaft and taking a
rein which was flying loose wound it
around the horses neck, choking 1t,
and bringing 1t to its knees within
twenty feet of the children.
When seen by a reporter for the
STAR today, Fuss modestly referred
all inquiries to Captain George e,
Lacey, who. in turn. said that he had
reported the incident to headquarters
and referred the reporter there.
