An effective illustration of the value
of the probation system for the treat
ment of juvenile offenders was present
ed in Milwaukee the other dass when
more than 40 youngsters who had been
subjected to its authority were formal
" discharged from further control by
the juvenile court The experience of
Milwaukee with the DrobationerS is
described as satisfactory in every way.
the authorities stating that very few OF
the juveniles placed under supervision
ever appear as second offenders This
is in accord with results in Chicago,
where according to reports fewer than
half the whole number of children ar
raigned before the juvenile courts for
the first time are brought back
A still more striking testimony to
the value of the probation system as
a reformatory agency comes from
Allegheny county. Pa With the last
few weeks 600 Juveniles have been
stricken from the rolls of probatloners
500 being discharged in one day In
the last five years 5000 children have
been brought before the juvenile
court in Allegheny county. and during
the same period 1000 others have
been dealt with by probation officers

without being required to oappear in
court. It is believed that the great
majority of all these Juveniles have
been saved from vicious tendencies and
started on the right path to honorable
careers
The rapid extension of the probation
system as applied to children Is one of
the most wholesome tendencies of the
day 1t has worked satisfactorily in
nearly every community where fairly
tried, and it is blazing the way to
finer social conditions under which our
criminal courts shall have shorter
dockets and our. prisons fewer tenants.

AN AMUSING PARALLEL.
An Observation From q Citizen on Mr..
Copeland's Explanation

A Topeka lawyer sends in the fol-
lowing from IN Interview in the morn
ing paper
The criticism generally heaped on
the committee of fifty to the effect that
it is big political machine is not war
ranted," said E. L. Copeland The
committee is primarily an organization
to do something. It can have fifty or
one hundred members and the club
women and other factions can still be
represented in that body The reason
no more names were added the night
it was appointed was on account Of
the general breaking up of the meet
ing
This suggests the way Peck's Sun
once wrote up a stabbing ARRAY. 1t
said:
In a fight at the Empire saloon
last night jim johnson stabbed Bill
Smith eighteen times He would have
stabbed him some more, but II was
getting late and the proprietor wanted
to close uD.s'

RYAN IS AFTER REVENGE;
TO TRAIN JACK JOHNSON
Man Who Taught Jim Jeffries
Science Of Boxing Goes
Over to Enemy.
JEFF SPURNS HIS OVERTURES

Tommy Ryan, who taught Jemrics
how To fight scientifically, has been
engaged To train Jack Johnson for the
big fight next July. Ryan, formerly
mddlewelght champion and one of
the best boxers i'm the ring, reached
am agreement with Johnson after a
conference i'm Chicago last week. This
move by the negro pugilist will hard
" be relished by Jcffries for the rca-
son that the latter has been at swords
points with Ryan for many years Ry-
an went down to Allenhurst, ". j..
when JEFF was training for the first
fight with Fitzsimmons i'm 1899 and
instructed the Californian IN the art
Of elf-defense
Ryan practically cut jeff TO pieces
while giving these valuable lessons.
but that was the only way to teach
the boiermaker how TO fight. Several
years later Ryan and Jeffries had n
disagreement of n serious nature over
money matters and INDUCED in mach
personal abuse.
Then they stopped speaking to each
other and have been bitter enemies
ever since. Ryan expressed "A will
ingness several months ago to patch
up the quarrel and assist Jeffrles in
his training for the Johnson mill. but
he was coldly turned down, together
with Billy Delaney, who with Ryan
received credit for developing the Cal
ifornian into a champion Of the
world.
In accepting an offer from Johnson
Ryan seeks revenge. 1t is a business
proposition with him and he evidently
cares nothing for the criticism which
will be levelled i'm his direction for
taking up with the colored man. John
son says Ryan knows more about
Jcffs style Of fighting than anybody
and he thinks the former middle
weight champions advice will be Of
incStimable value.
Ryan has expressed the opinion that
in a long fight Jeffries cannot stand
the wear and tear because Of his pro-
tractod absence from the ring, and It
is believed he will instruct Johnson
as to the best way to proong the
battle. 1t is a foregone conclusion
that Jeffries, when he sees Ryan in the
negroes corner, will show eagerness
to end the fight as quickly as pos
siblc.

DONOVAN TELLS HURLERS
TO CUT OUT CURVE BALL

cut out the curve ball" is the adj
wee given by BiIl Donovan, the old
est pitcher in point of service on the
Detroit team, 10 the young pitchers On
the team.
In swinging the hammer on the
curve ! am not saying that the swift
bail can be used continuously I'm a
game said Donovan recently. Mix "A
SLOW one with IL once in awhile. Also
use curve occasionally. maybe four
or hve In a game, but not every third
time.
curve pitching is Just what is
making failure of Rubc' Marquardt.
the $lLOO pitcher with the New YORK

my fast ball had an upshoot to it and
J was getting away with three and

1T was In 1903 that 7 joined the
Detroit club. jim Mcclure was the

that impression by his signals. He
would start nearly every inning with

il was a cold and not dreaming that
the curve bail was making a wreck

BLACK FIGHTERS SPARE
WHITE DRAWING CARDS

To the negro fighter Il is the white
goose that lays the golden eggs No
two negro pugilists would ever make
"a drawing card. Also the color line
often q a good excuse of some white
men 10 refuse 10 meet a dusky oppon-
ent Peter jackson found that John
/. Sullivan always drew the color line
very closely, and now Ad. Wolgast Is
out in declaration that all the real
money In the world would not tempt
him 10 fight with a negro.
There Is suspicion that Sam Lang
ford kept Flynn In the background for
another battle. This was the case
until he put Jim Barry out OF IN"
business. jim either was game enough
or ignorant enough TO 60 against
Laneford eight times. Then Sam put
Jim Go sleep ard ne no longer was a
drawing card. Consequently tho ne
gro is a merchant as IT were i'm tho
business, and ho is wise for taking care
Of the goose that lays the golden
meal tickets.
Even Jack Johnson was kind -
white men before he became cham
piou, but now is not compelled 10 save
any PERSONS feelings. But when the
champion was travelling in tourist cars
