this is rather late in the season for the
ranking of the golfers of the Southern
Golf association, but the demands for this
affair have become SO insistent that one
is here presented. This is not the opinion
of any one man, but is a consensus opin-
ion. Some time back letters were sent to
every prominent golfer in the south, Civ
ing all available statistics and asking for
a ranking. Replies were received from
most of the experts and from their opin-
ions a ranking is hereby constructed and
shows the men placed as follows:

LEGISLATION UPON
WATER POWER SITES

Washington, April 11-Legislation af-
fecting water power sites urged as part
of the Roosevelt and Taft administra-
ton policies crystalized into a general
Dill on which the House committee on
interstate commerce took favorable ac-
ton today.
The measure was framed by Represen-
tative Stevens of Minnesota. 1t would
give the federal government full control
OF the plans. as well as the construc-
ton and maintenance of all such works
and revocation of such contracts. It
would make the approval of the war de-
partment a condition precedent to the
building of all dams authorized to be
swung across a navigable stream The
bill would impose stringent restrictions
upon dam privileges, including discre-
tionary authority of the war department
to require dam owners to maintain locks
or similar structures. The owners
would have to convey to the United
States free of cost, title for necessary
land for the construction of locks and
approaches and free use of water power.

champion of Australia. in the twentieth

title tonight.
The decision was not popular with the
crowd, for though Burns had the better
OF the first ten rounds, he weakened in
the latter half of the fight. Meanwhile
Lang rallied.
The fight was witnessed by 1900 per-
sons. The betting was 3 to 1 on Burns.
Burns weighed 1S1 pounds and Lang 1888.
Hugh Mcintosh refereed. After the first
ten rounds, which were fast, Burns,
though more clever, tired perceptfbly and
ducked repeatedly. In the sixth round
Burns roughed Lang through the ropes
and was hooted. Lang, however, rose
and shook hands with the American as
the bell rang.
During the last eight rounds, Lang
fought cautiously, while Burns forced re-
peated clinches. Mcintosh gave the fight
to the American on points.

jim JEFFRIES HAS
NARROW ESCAPE

Ben Lomond, CAL, April 1.-THE old
question if whether hard luck is camp
ing on the trial of James j. Jeffries,
determined to put the champion out for
the count before he gets chance to show
what he can do against Jack johnson on
July 4, came to the front again today at
Jeffries' training camp, when the big
fighter had a close call from death or in
jury through live wire.
Jeffries went out to cut down a redwood,
accompanied by Farmer Burns and
Jack Wooley, an Oakland sportsman.
When the tree fell it crashed through
a string of power wires and the ends OF
a telephone line dropped close to the
Jeffries party striking within few feet
of where the champion stood. All near
the champion were thoroughly frightened,
but Jeffries did not show any emotion.
Went right to work cutting logs and chop
ping wood Rain made outdoor work I'M
possible in the morning.
The sparring sessions were postponed
again, without any apparent reason other
than Jeffries did not feel in the mood to
box. In place of this Jeffries went
through the full list of the gymnasium ap-
paratus, working himself into a fine glow.
The monotony of the camp was broken
during the afternoon by wrestling match
between Farmer Burns and Baron
Carl Henkeol, an officer Of the German
army who was visitor at the camp.
rhe baron thought he could win from
Burns easily and several wagers were
made on the match. Burns, however
kept his reputation by scoring fall In
, minutes and 1-5 second.
Sam Berger, Jeffries' manager, returned
to camp today after having completed ar
rangemcnts for the Quitting Of the gym
nasium. Berger would made no announce
ment as to the first boxing performance
which Is looked forward to anxiously as
giving the only true light on Jeffries
condition.
