Roosevelt Sails From South
amptGn HOmeward Bound
LAST DAY IN ENGLAND QUIET

With Nature In secluslon Of New
Forest-Reclpient of Thousands of
Epistles Dissenting From Views
Expressed In Guild Hall Speech.
Pleased at Result Of Remarks.
London, June 10. - Colonel ,Theo-
dore Roosevelt and the members Of
his family sailed for home today
from Southampton on the liner Au-
guste Victoria. They were accompa-
MED to the dock by host of friends
and an immense crowd of sightseers.
Mr.. Roosevelt's last day in Eng
land was shroudcd in mystery. The
reporters acceded to his request
that they should not pursue him,
and beyond the fact that he
spent many hours in the New Forest,
which, by the way, has been pre-
served as forest for more than sou
years, little is known of his doings.
According to one version. MT
Roosevelt, in a talk with Foreign
Minister Grey concerning his ap
preaching departure, expressed
wish to tramp the English country
side, which is now in its fullest beau
| ty, and to hear English songbirds in
| full chorus. Sir Edward Grey, who
| is a keen ornithoiogist and who Is
otherwise equipped for companion
ship with u sportsman, Immediately
offered himself as Mr.. Rooseyelt'i
companion and guide In the New
Forest, where wild life can be OBJ
served to the fullest. The pair tool
a train from London and alighted a
the northern boundary of the forest
They walked for many hours in iti
widest recesses. The weather wa
ideal. They stayed at country inn
Another version is that they spen
the night In the woods, identifying
the voices of nocturnal birds ant
awaiting the outburst of song whicl
accompanies the dawn.
During three weeks Mr. Roosevelt
has received some 300 letters, me
jority of tfem since his Guild hal
speech. Some of these were frankly
but politely, dissentient, and som
were roundly abusive. Most, how
ever. we're appreciative, and as man
of them came from prominent pei
sons, Mr.. Roosevelt was much graf
fed. In addition to these letter
there were the usual requests for al
tographs and photographs, protest
and pleadings against Staying viii

ANIMALS FEAR AIRsHlPs
Chicago JournaD

All animals are terrified by airships.
Partridges, quails and other game
birds crouch and hide, while domestic
fowls utter loud warning notes the in
slant they perceive the monstrous
bird of prey. The Swedish aeronaut.
Van Hoffken, while sailing at mod
crate elevation observed that elks,
foxes, hares and other wild animals
fled at his approach. While the zep'
pelin III. was going from Dusseldorf
to Essen the aeronauts on board noted
that horses and cattle galloped fran
tically over the fields on catching
sight of the airship.

Sid Hester of San Francisco Trying
To Bling About an International
Lightweight Battle.

SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. Now
that the proposed battle between All
NolSast and Bat Nelson has been
called on. Sid Hester. the fight pro-
moter. is endeayoring TO match Nelson
with Freddie Welsh the English light
weigat champion. Hester said today
that he had offered Welsh $S.i50 10
meet the Battler and he believed
Freddie would accept.
Welsh told ME the last time | saw
him that ne would be willing 10 hight
Nelson for $1,000, said Hester.
There has been some talk that Welsh
will not go ~ rounds. but will insist
that the distance be limited tn 20 or
p rounds. Freddie believes he can
beat Nelson and think he will agree
TO go the Marathon distance.

Ban Johnson's Idea of Signing Men
To Documents Valid for l2
Months Would Cut Out
All Transforming.
Hired Men Think They Should Be
Allowed To Turn an Odd Dollar
in Dead Season When Able.

CHICAGO, Jan. 6.-The indications
are today that the American League
is likely 10 have trouble with its
players as the result OF the ruling OF
President Ban Johnson that contracts
in that league must be understood 10
be in effect the year round. The effect
of this ruling is that American League
players can play no baseball at any
time in or out of season except with
the American League clubs TO which
they are attached. IL eliminates every
cent OF Money on the side
One of the veterans of the league
today predicted an uprising among the
American League players against this
ruling

were in the business 10 collect AZ

These magnates want TO abolish barn
storming trips by players when the
season is over. but just consider tna'

all the time the magnates are squeez

OF all the fight experts who are at Reno

has attracted as much attention as Mike
Murphy, the woEld-famous trainer ol
athletes.
He is there for the Philadelphia NORTH
american, aud when he pronounced
James ]. J, fries in tit condition to give
battle to his huge colored antagonist,
the opinion was flashed all over the coun.
try and quoted by all writers, because il

condition his word is final.
Mr.. Murphy, who is athletic director
at the University of Pennsylvania, who
trained the team that won the last inter.
collegiate meet and also prepared the
American athletes for the Olympic games
in England, is said to know more about
the human body, athleticaIly considered,

Murphy's training articles will appear
