VICTORY OF JACK JOHNSON OVER

iilstlc theme for some time to come.

who by experience In the ring and out

judge such things-wlll have II that
Jack is an accident
One past champion has said that
Johnson don't know how to lead, and
that he would not have had as much
chance as bubble in a stoke hole
If he had happened along during for

Vain talk this. IL is very foolish to
pursue any line of argument that can

IL could be determined whether the
present Jack Johnson could have lick
ed John L. Sullivan of 1885, he might
in all safety regard the funds in hand
as his own personal property.
You can't bridge the years in that
way. You can't compare fighters Of
different generations and arrive at a
sane conclusion, and the best you can
say for Johnson or any other cham
pion Is that he is the best of his era.
Another thing The supremacy of the
races in the pugilistic line was not
definitely determined at Reno. The re-
suit was only temporary triumph
for the Negro. If the black horse wins
the Futurity this year il doesn't mean
that black yearlings will be the safe

have strutted for a brief time as
champions, but he is a pugllistic won

fighter If there ever was one. Just
think of all the professors of hstic-
cuffs who were coaching Jeffries as
how to dodge the famous right upper

the result. 1t was left uppercut that
Johnson worried and weakened and
wore down Jeffrles with.
And how about the prophecy that II

tantalizing Negro there would be short

Why, 1t was Johnson who courted

McALEER LIKES BECK
Says Henry Can Handle Walter John
sons Most Speedy Shoots

That was strange tale sent out
about Walter Johnson recently" said
Jim McAleer. manager OF the Wash
ington club. II read where my bic
pitcher was forced to let up on his
speed because Catcher Beckendorf's
hands were crippled, forcing him to
retire, and because Catcher Henry
couldn't hold the big fellow.
THAT is all wrong and In an in
justice to Henry. He's n young fellow
just out OF college. and never had any
baseball experience outside of the
playing with his school team. Johnson
has world OF speed and shoots them
over fast. but Henry was able to
handle his curves, benders and straight
ones. He was hit on the arm by a foul
tip late I'm the game. which probably
caused those pencil pushers to say
that Johnson's speed affected him."

DONOVAN TELLS new YARN
OF CY YOUNC'S ABILITY

Petsy Donovan, manager of the Red

est geek in the big leagues few
years back. Patsy dscredits the pop

Young. Here's yarn woven by Pat
sy:
1T was blazing afternoon, way
back in far-off July--so far off now I
can just remember-that this Young
person was pitching and that came
to bat I'm the last half of the ninth,
with two on, two down and a run need
ed to tie. That's the way most things
happen in baseball.

stood in the box and looked me over a
few moments. Then he turned his
back on me and motioned Jimmy Nc
Aleer. out In center Blackjack. till
Jimmy was right against the fence.
You big lobster / thought, does
anything tell you you're going to make
me hit II out there? Just waltz Then
old Cy--it was young Cy In those days
swung around deliberately and
pitched.
He served me up the very ball I
was hoping for, and ! stepped in and
fairly killed It, And I don't believe
Jimmy McAleer moved two feet to
catch that drive
And" Patsy Donovan adds. "when
ever hear any of this slush about Cy
Young winning by brute strength. /
just remember that hot afternoon In

Because of the result of this game,
1t appears that the Mohawk cricket
team has the best chance to land the
coveted championship. The Mohawk

THE ONLY WAY TO SLEEP.

One chilly evening up at Lake Ho-
patcong, in the New Jersey highlands,
a number of people were lolling about
in the hotel sitting room before big
blazing log fire. Edwin Markham,
author of "The Man With the Hoe"
was there, talking poetry with some
literary minded newcomers.

A TARIFF COMMISSION.

Senator Beveridge of Indiana is a
firm believer in the adjustment of the
tariff by a commission and through
his influence the Indiana republican
convention placed a tariff commits
sion plank in its platform. The
regulars" in congress and out do not
approve of that plank or of other
planks in the Indiana platform. But
there are millions of people in AM
erica who agree with Beverldge in
his advocacy of tariff commission.
"The need is of a tariff commission
that shall have the independence and
authority in international commerce
that the existing Interstate Commerce
Commission is destined to have in the
domestic commerce of this country"
say sa well known western paper.
1--WE may come slowly to the idea
that tariff commission should have
positive authority in the making of
tariff schedules. But the idea is no
more striking or revolutionary than
the power that has actually been con-
ferred upon the Interstate Commerce
Commission for the regulation Of
railroad rates.
The principle that an ever increas-
ing share of public administration
should be given over into the hands
of experts and specialists is a prin-
ciple that applies to national as well
as to municipal affairs.
To-day the American people are
suffering acutely from tariff law
that has set at defiance every prin-
ciple of economic science.
"The time has come to move for a
scientific tariff.
Such a tariff can be created only
by commission of experts-whose
political dignity and permanence of
official tenure should be such as to
make them inaccessible to partisan
influence and the approaches OF
special interest,"

On the other hand, it Is evident that
many persons are color blind without
! suspecting it.
have several times had evidence of
this when showing colored stars to
observers who had never seen such
objects.
Some of the brightest stars in the
sky possess colors as distinct and pure
as those of precious stones, and yet
have known at least one astronomer
who declared that, as far as he was
concerned, the stars were all alike in
color
Often among the double stars one
finds an emerald combined with to-
paz or a carbuncle, or a sapphire with
yellow diamond, the contrast being
as striking and beautiful as If jew
eler had been experimenting with the
chromatic harmonies of the richest
gems.
There are other coupled stars in
which such colors as lilac, smalt blue,
orange, mauve. cerulean blue, deep
red garnet golden yellow purple and
violet are seen in the most beautiful
combinations.
And yet l have repeatedly shown
some of these starry jewels with the
| telescope to persons apparently pos
sessed of normal vision who could not
perceive any notable difference of
tint or perhaps any difference at all.
If it was easily applicable this star
test would offer a capital means of
| detecting defective vision for colors.
Recent investigation has brought to
| light the fact that the eyes are sub
ject to a great variety of abnormalities
| in the detection or recognition of col
ors
Some are blind to only one color,
which may be either red or green
and possibly violet. Others suffer
from a double blindness affecting both
red and green, and still others are
triply color blind, being unable to
distinguish red, green and violet.
Persons thus affected not only miss
one of the greatest pleasures of ex-
istence, but their incapacity may be-
| come exceedingly dangerous for their
fellow beings; at least wherever the
clear recognition of color differences
is matter of primary Importance, as
for instance, in railroading.
If, as the case of the English engi-
neer seems to prove, the detection OF
such defects by the methods now ir
use is uncertain, some better means
of making the tests or the adoption Of
some other basis of warning than col
ored lights would appear to be i'm
peratively demanded.
The instantaneous decisions de.
manded by our hurrying modern lif,
call emphatically for the elimination
of the traditional dependence upor
human senses, with their indefinite
variations and the numerous defects
wherever safety depends upon sucl
slender threads as are offered by diff
ferences of color.
Here electricity with it's limitles
applications, offers itself as man
surest defender against the conse
quences of his own limitations.
If we would live fast We must pu
ourselves under the guidance of al
agent which is quicker and surer il
its action than human nerves.-Gar
