JOHNSON SURE OF VICTORY.
Negro Champion Says He Will Beat
Jeffries In Twenty Rounds.

Jack Johnson, the worlds heavy
weight champion pugilist, says that he
will not allow his grudge against Jim
Jeffries to interfere with his style of
fighting in his coming battle in Cali
fornia on July 1 for the heavyweight
championship of the world. Perhaps

Gently to an interviewer at Chicago,

Jeffries within eighteen rounds, or you
may make 1t twenty to be exact. 1t
may take tritie longer than l look
for, but not minute over twenty, and
that goes.
II wouldn't be foolish enough to
take a chance and try to rush an OPP
ponent off his feet just because l felt
sore and wanted to beat him up In a

reason. If l thought It was wiser to

Jake Schaefer, the billiard wizard Of

paper man named Chantz, who knew
this, posted some of his winning
friends about 1t. They were the typi-
cal miners Of the day, rough and
ready lot and ready to bet freely
They covered every dollar put up by
Kraker's friends, who were mostly
gamblers.
Bill Meelick, big, burly miner, was
selected as one of the three judges and
the game was on. The miners were
much elated as they saw Schaefer
forge slowly to the front. But
Schaefer began to lose some Of his
accuracy after passing the 300 mark,
and Kraker took the lead. The game
was 500 points, and Schaefer had 80.
The judges were called on to see that

was equal to the emergency. He
whipped out his big six shooter and
spoke these cheerful and reassuring
words to Schaefer: "Youngster, you
have the balls in n good position, and

blow the top of your head off. You
win this game"
He looked as IL he meant II, and Jake
got busy. 1t was a squally period, as
the room was full of men representing
opposing factions. A shooting scrape
was in the air. and 1t all depended on
Jake's accuracy Of play. Any other
man would have collapsed under the
strain. but steadily he continued and
never missed until the game ran out

NEW ACADEMY PROPOSED.
England Wants Ono Devoted to Litsra

England Wants One Devoted to Iitsra-
turs-Mr. Shorter's Comment.
There is much discussion at present
IN England over the academy Of lit
erature which those interested In lit
erary affairs desire to found. Maurice
Hewlett has written to an English pc
rtodical that the business Of the selec-
ton of members is to be the work OF
himself and Douglas Freshfeld.
The difficulty OF selecting members
that would be accepted unanimously
by author and book lovers Is mani
fest. The story Of lola Is recalled.
The French author after having been
received in England with considerable
enthusiasm said with regard to the
French academy: Now / am safe. l
shall drop into It as easily as a sou
into a slot" But NJ. lola was never
elected TO the academy.
There is one literary organization In
London which is doing much practical
and needed work-the Royal Literary
FUND. Poverty is hardest to bear
when 1t is accompanied by magma
ton in the victim" writes Mr.. Shorter,
"and have known many cases where
the Royal Literary fund committee has
helped struggling authors whose pen
ury must seem almost incredible to
the ordinary literary clubman, or, In
deed, to the Fleet street journalist. In
the literary life prosperity and merit
have absolutely no kinship."

MILK AS A PRESERVATIVE.
Chemist Announces Remarkable Re.
suits From SKINNED Variety.

suits From SKINNED Variety.
That skinned milk freed of bacteria
Is perfect preservative Is the discov-
cry recently announced by Dr. o. Hen
ry Novak Of Austin. H.. who has
been chemist forty years and has
been employed by the United States
and Austrian governments.
Basically the theory is that dipping
articles of food in skinned milk coats
them with an almost invisible film that
absolutely keeps out germs, air or wa
ter and Is indissouble and impervious
to acids. The thin film will preserve
fresh meats, eggs, fruit or other edi-
bles subject to decomposition without
regard to temperature, according to
the chemist, who is corroborated by
other scientists and professional men.
In his laboratory In Austin the other
afternoon DR.. Novak exhibited hang
ing pieces of beef. leg of lamb and
fish which were subjected to n bath
in skinned milk four days previously.
The temperature since then had been
around 60 or 20, but these articles had
the appearance and odor of perfectly
fresh pieces. An egg which had been
dipped on Jan. 8, 1909. was opened.
Those who saw the egg say 1t could
not have been distinguished from an
egg laid the same day.
DR.. Novak says nothing should be
dipped which is not fresh. After germs
have developed the film is worse than
useless,

liqht and Dark Cigars.

A striking example OF the ordinary

the dark color is usually, though not
always, a sign of a ripe. well cured
leaf, which is therefore milder nine
times out of ten than the lighter hued
leaf But when 1t is known that every
manufacturer makes both dark and
light cigars and that he uses exactly
the same blend Of filler in both and
that the wrapper only constitutes a
small fractional part of the cigar it Is
clearly seen that the shade of the
wrapper has little to do with the
strength OF the cigar Ask the dealer

USE 10000 BALLS A YEAR.
Big League Clubs Get Away
With That Many Each Season.

Twenty thousand balls are
used annually by the major
league clubs during the training
trips and championship cam
paigns. John Arnold Heydler,
secretary-treasurer of the Ma
tional league, reports that last
year the teams in his organiZa-
ton called on the manufacturers
to furnish them with 800 dozen
spheres. The Cincinnati Reds
used the most balls, and then
came the Pittsburg Pirates, the
Chicago Cubs, the New York
) Giants, the Phillies, the Boston
Doves, the Brooklyn Superbas
and the st. Louis Cardinals.
The watchdog OF the National
league treasury will not tell
what price the clubs pay for the
official balls, but one closely as
ISOLATED with one OF the manu-
facturers insinuates that persons
who guess that a major league
club spends about $1,000 a year
for spheres are not far out of
the way. Each ball, therefore,
, costs probably so cents. The
price OF the spheres varies from
year TO year.
