JEFF RETURNING FROM LONG RUN ON ROAD
his admirers, and now there is a how
for some veteran like Billy Delaney
or Billy Madden to oversee his train
ing. While Berger is a useful man to
the champion, he is a young fellow
who does not know the finer points OF
training an athlete like some of the
older heads
JEFF has always been hard, faithful
worker when in training, but in this
case it's going to need more than the
hard work to keep the big fellow from
leaving AL his fight on those noun
tain roads around Ben Lomond. II
Ieff makes any mistake this time he
may hurt himself worse than the ne
gro can hurt him.
There is another thing-a camp
should have single head, one man
whose word is law to the fighter and
to every one else At present Choynski
is experimenting the training. Pretty
soon Jim Corbett will blow along. and
there will be three of 'em. to say moth
advisers, and there will be jealousy in
the camp and chickering's. and poor old
good natured Jeff will be sitting help
lessly in the middle Of plots and coun-
terplots. This won't do. If JEFF cannot
get Delaney, why not try Billy Mad
den? Billy is q veteran of the days
when training was a cruel thing, the
days when a man dried OUT before
his fight, real drying out, which left
not an ounce Of perspiration in the
whole body. He has handled many
fighters and made few mistakes with
them in their training.
JEFF has laid out daily schedule.
which he intends to follow strictly un-
til his battle with the negro. He rises
at 6:30 a. m. and takes a cold bath
and rundown. Then he takes brisk

Milwaukee, Wis. May 7.-One OF the
best middleweight contests that has
been arranged for some time will bring
together Hugo Kelly, Of Chicago, anu
Eddy McGoorty, of Oshkosh Wis, who
will meet in a ten round no decision
contest before the Badger Athletic
club in the Milwaukee, Auditorium on
the evening of MAJ 6. McGoorty
through his excellent showing while in
England, where he defeated all the
best middleweights over there, is recog-
MID as one of the best in this country
today, and whom his friends think will
soon be in line for championship hon
ors. Kelly is well known to the box
ing fans of this country. and if Nc
Goorty can outpoint him it will be the
biggest kind of a boost for the Osh-
kosh boy. The weight is to be $50
pounds, which is two pounds over the
recognized weight. but this was done
so as to help Kelly as he did not care
to be bothered about reducing too much
at this time, although there is no doubt
that he can make 15S pounds, and Nc
ty is probably the cleverer at long
range work. while at blocking Kelly
has the call The men appear to be
very evenly matched, and the contest
should be one of the best seen in these
parts for a long time. A great deal
hinges on the result, for it means good
matches in the future for both of
them. Kelly wants another try at
PaPke. while McGOOrty has good offers
in England. should he succeed in best
ing the Chicago man.
The indications are that the boxing
game which has had such a boom IN
England the past year will have
rest during the summer months There
are a few promoters over there who
wanted to continue during the hot
weather. but they will probably lay off
when they discover that the fans do
not take kindly to boxing in summer

Big Hands
Of Value To
Ball Players

Many columns Of stuff have been
written about baseball brains," while
baseball hands" have been sadly neg
Iected. Fair hands are common, but
the real perfect type is scarce. 1t is
generally admitted that Lee Tannehill.
the Chicago Americans third sacker,
has the ideal hands for a ball tosser.
Lee is on the down grade as a top
liner these days. but in his prime he
could pick up u grounder better than
any of his rivals in the infeld.

HERE'S SAM LANGFORD'S
TIP ON BIG FIGHT.

Why not take real live bunch
on the big fight from a man who
knows? Let's get right on this
Jeffries-Johnson affair. The way
to do this is TO peruse the ulti-
matum Of one Samuel Langford,
who plays the role of general
reducer Of fight championship
aspirations. Samuel recently is
sued a statement In which he
offered to fight anybody In the
world, with the sole exception
Of James ]. Jeffries.
THAT Mistah Jeff he amt no
man; he's just a big train, and
he's going to run over ennybody
t tries to hoP him back" said
Langford when asked about the
matter.
But how about Johnson"
was the query to him.
Honey, he's jest NAH meal
ticket. If l can get that big
moke in front Of me III knock
him clear out of the moving pic
lures. Vas, sub, / will. / know,
cause l met him once"
If there is any better line on
the matter than this it has yet
to be dug up. Langford's un-
conscious tip on the big mill is
surely not biased He can whip
Jack, but nothing doing with
JEFF.

The cards were stacked against
those who did not completely in
dorse the Pinchot propaganda, while
those who favored President Taft's
practical conservation were labeled
frauds
THE man who invented thesystem
of frenzied finance is q conservative
man according to the ideas We heard
advanced at the so-called conference.
Members of thetimber trust told us
how we should stand for conserving
our forests for unborn generations
while they were adding so cents a
thousand feet to stumpage prices.
I'VE heard reformers argue long
and loud how they planned to sell
power. coal and lumber to the people
at practically cost. and in the next
utterance they told us how the pur-
posed paying no small share Of the
governments expense from the earn
ings of the natural resources of the
western country.
Pinchot gave us the greatest warrant
| to believe that we were right in the
position taken by the delegations
from the western states, in which
95ls per cent of the country's natural
| resources are located.
| The eastern conservationists want
US to bear the cost of government
while the profits from our natural re-
sources flow to the federal treasury.
Let them first turn over to the gov
eminent the revenue they receive
from their mines and power sites.
Want Jurisdiction.
| I'VE believe in forest preservation
and reforestation. We also believe
the states should participate in the
benefits of their water powers. Our
constitution gives US these rights. but
federal lands. where the water power
sites are located, should be with
drawn and leased for the profit and al
he pleasure of the United States gov
ernment.
There seems to be some misun
Outstanding as to the position taker
by those who advocate home contro
# our great resources. From time
mmemorial there has been a. struggle
between the people on the one hand
Ind the reigning power Of the fnan
cial interests on the other as to who
shall control our local affairs and re
sources. This is the same fight ovel
again. The people of the west believe
they are competent and qualified ant
should have complete jurisdiction
over matters within their own states.

of value in the administration of the
affairs of the colonies.
The surnames of many Of the early
residents Of the republic were particu-
larry striking and fantastic. Some
were really ludicrous because Of their
differences and combinations. The Of
fetal records show that some of the
best citizens bore such names as.
Joseph Came. Peter Pentup. Joseph
Scolds. Booze Still. Adam Hatmaker.
Truelove Sparks, John Smother and
Agreed Crabtree. Then there were
were those whose surnames were
catchy" because of the unusual COM
bination of common nouns. such as
Mr.. Beersticker. Mr.. GOLDFISH. Capt.
Clinkskales. Mr.. Huntsucker and
Messrs. Cathode. Churning. Clappad-
die. Fryover, Sharpneck. Trueluck
and Threewits.
A Loss In Dignity.
Many of these names have passed
out OF existence because of an in
creasing tendency on the part of the
public to avoid that which tended to
cause lack Of dignity to the bearer
With the social advance during the
past century the name of an individ-
ual has come to be a most prominent
thing and "Mr. Beersticker" and
"Trueloye Sparks" today would not
have chance in the daily walks Of
life. Many of these names have be-
come obsolete, while others have I'M
dergone notifications until today
they appear very reasonable and COM
monplace. 1t cannot be denied that
their use by the present generation
in their original form would be an
absurdity.
In the statets for which the SEIZED
ules of the first census still exist
there were 1887 surnames, the ma
jority OF which were largely Anglo
saxon origin. ...-
Such thing as a middle name was
hardly heard of in colonial times.
Their absence from the schedules Of
the first census is marked. This is
borne out clearly in little document
signed by number of prominent men
OF their day known as the Declaration
Of Independence. Upon this paper
the names of but three persons hav-
ing middle names appear, Robert
Treat Paine, Richard Henry Lee and
Francis Lightfoot Lee.
