FODDER FOR
THE FIGHT FANS
AtteII and Moore Mix Up
Before FairmOnt Athletic
Club Tonight
JEM MACE LOSES'
FIGHT WITH DEATH

One Of the best fights New York
has seen in many moons is expected
at the Fairmont Athletic CLUB, New
York, tonight when featherweight
champion, Abe Attell, hooks up with
Pal Moore, of Philadelphia, in a ten
round bout. Moore is now a light
weight, and If he gets as good as an
even break with the shifty Abe, he will
90 right after owen Moran and Ad-
Wolgast, the American lightweight
champion.
Attell, however. counts on defeating
Moore through his speed. He frankly
admits that he will not try to trade
punches with the Philadelphia.
Owen Moran will soon begin pulling
the easy money" from his victory
over Battling Nelson, next Saturday
The English fighter to-day is enroute
from San Francisco TO New York,
where he has a weeks theatrical en-
gagement. Following this, Moran will
sail for England. where he will ap-
pear in the London music halls.
Manager Harvey Is insisting that
Moran pass all offers to fight again
until Ad Wolgast is drawn into a
match. He believes, however, the pro-
position of Wolgast TO wait until May
is far fetched and will endeavor to
arrange for an earlier date.
Nelson will leave Frisco the last
Of the week for his ranch in New
Mexico
Jem Mace the noted old English
fighter died in London to-day. Mace
was at one time England's greatest
pugilist and made as he himself
termed It, barrels of money in the
ring" Despite this he died almost
poverty stricken. About a year ago he
was obliged 10 apply for public old
age pension Of five shillings a week.
Mace was born at Beeston, Norwich.
April 8, 1881, and for years before his
death enjoyed the reputation of being
the Oldest living pugilist. He p-ided
himself on being the one man that the
game had not killed and attributed
HIS longevity to careful living and
fighting shy of the booze habit
Jack Johnson is not taking any
chances of getting fat and slow, and
from now until he resumes his the
atrical tour after the holidays, will
spend about an hour each day at road
and gymnasium work. johnson has
Walter Monahan, a young heavy
weight, as a sparring partner at Chi
cago.
Yesterday the champion ran about
five miles over the boulevard near his
home and boxed four rounds with
Monahan. He expects to sail for Eu-
rope in March and when he reaches
Paris may meet either McVey or
Jeannette.

SEARCH FOR GERMS

collected had passed through some
part of the butter that was not in
fected before it was packed down A
similar test was sure to produce germs
the next day.
This series of tests was continued
for Isl days, and the one-hundred-
and-fifty-frst day was the last on
which active germs were found The
tests were continued Tof eight days
after that, but it was plain that the in
lection had died out.
The tests with the milk were made
in the same general way Milk was
purposely infected and was then kept
in a cool place and tested daily. 1t
was found that the germs survived
for forty days, and this was much
longer than milk ever would be kept
No tests were made with cheese,
but enough was shown to convince the
department that dairy products as a
whole are potent source of infection,
and that it is essential to sterilize all
milk as a matter of public safety.

DR.. Bashford, Noted English Expert
Declares Finny Tribe Is Swept
Away by Goitre.

London.-Cancer. experts on this
side think there must be some mistake
In Mr.. Taft's special message to con-
gress in which he asked for an appro-
priation of $4,000 for the investiga-
ton of cancer in fishes. Cabled re-
ports make the president say that
"close investigation of the subject OF
cancer In fishes, which are frequently
swept away by epidemics of that dis
ease, may give us light upon this
dreadful human scourge." DR.. Bash
ford, director of the Imperial Cancer
Research Fund, says that there must
be some misconception here.
Fishes are swept away by goitre,
not by cancer" he says. The miseon-
ception has arisen because cancer
sometimes follows upon goitre.
81 do not mean that cancer does not
attack fishes, but the subject which
has given rise to Mr.. Taft's request for
another laboratory is that Of goitre,
upon which aspect of the question the
Imperial Cancer Research fund has
been engaged for long time past. AS
a result of investigations spread over
the entire British empire, which be-
gan in 1902. it was found that the dis,
ease existed throughout the verte'
brate scale.

Boston National League Clubs Manager 9
x Says. Good Battery Men Are Necessary x
(copyright, 1910, by Joseph B. Bowles)

IN order to win a major league pen
nant club must have a good, strong
pitching corps and at least two first
class catchers. The same applies to
any other pennant race. Further. the
pitchers must be of different styles. I
would not try to win with all right
handlers, or with seven curve ball
pitchers.
The other players of the team must
be fast, speedy, aggressive young
players. l am a great believer in
youthful players, although knowing
well that no pennant ever has been
won by any such club. 1t is false
idea, and the only reason no club ever
won with young players is due to the
fact that only a few ever have tried.

was laughed at last season for my
theories about speed, and when I Sc
lected team chiefly on the ability of
the men to get fast to first base.
There were several converts to the
idea before the season ended, and if
the team had possessed the other
requisites Of winning club we would
have landed the American league pen
nant.
Temperance in everything is an abb
solute necessity. / do not mean that
players must necessarily be total abb
stainers, although that would be best.

fore closing negotiations.

team, and a fighting, aggressive spirit

the men hard on signals, SO that they
know them all, and do not forget. But
cannot win, nor can any one else,
with men who rely too much on sig
nails. Some teams get into the habit
Of waiting for signals instead of think
ing for themselves. There are times
when a situation arises that requires
quick thinking and when the signal
system is useless. | want men who
have the initiative and the nerve and
quickness to assume responsibility in
these crises in game and to think
and act for themselves in emergen-
cies. If they do not, they are not win
ming ball players, and no matter how
skfllful they may be with their hands
or feet they cannot become great
in the profession.
The player to win must keep think
ing every instant, and regardless OF
the orders of the manager must have
nerve enough to change tactics in a
second the moment it becomes apparv
ent that the other side has discovered
the plan of attack.
l try at all times to outguess the
opposing team. I try to put myself in
the place of the opposing leader and

A Quick Cat.

Some years ago the proprietor Of a
hotel in southern New Hampshire told
the following story: He said that
when he was boy he had occasion
to go into the garnet of his house one
morning and that the family cat fol.
lowed him up the stairs. One of the
windows was open, and when they en-
tered the garnet a frightened mouse
jumped out of the window, and the
cat, jumping after it, caught it in mid
air and, whirling round, jumped back
again into the same window

Series of Experiments Made With
Milk as Typhoid Generator.
Microbes Found to Exist In Fluid
Kept Forty Days, According to
Report Of Agent of Depart
ment of Agriculture.

Washington-In view Of the fact
that much Of the typhoid fever in
Washington has been traced to milk
infection, the department of agricul-
tuTe has made a series of experiments
to determine how long typhoid germs
will remain alive in milk and butter
under ordinary market conditions. The
result is to show that the germs will
remain active in milk much longer
than milk is ever kept before being
consumed-namely, forty days-and
that in the case of butter the germs
have been found active and ready for
business at the end of Isl days. This
has led to an urgent recommendation
by the department for all handlers Of
dairy products to sterilize milk before
1t Is either sold as milk or made into
butter.
The series OF experiments was ear.
ried on by Henry j. Washburn of the
pathological division. He says the in
Vestigations of the marine hospital
service in connection with typhoid in
washington showed that for three
years there was an average of 10 per
cent. OF the cases directly traceable to
MIX infection. Considering the fact,
ne says, that typhoid is disease that
IS present throughout the country all
inc time and everywhere, this 10 per
cent. of Infection represents an i'm
mense amount Of preventable sick
ness. He thinks that Is per cent
would not be an excessive rating as

Chairman Hermann sent to the

baseball circuit in America Is entitled
TO more credit for true sportsmanship
than the Northwestern league. Planted
in a territory that is comparatively
new, made up of cities that cannot
boast of the population which several
other leagues have and far removed
from the field that is supposed to
produce the largest crop of players,
the Northwestern league has made
itself felt in organized baseball by the
enterprise it has displayed in going
after the best talent available and
making for the highest class of sport
possible under existing conditions. The
Northwestern league is now looked
upon by the major circuits as one Of
the most desirable organizations in
America for the development of talent
for the big leagues. That fact was
