TO HOLD ATHLETIC
MEET IN NEW YORK

NEW YORK, August l3.-An ath-
letlc meet that promises to rival the
famous clash between the London \ G.
AMI the New York A c. in 1895 will
be held at American League Park Sep
TENDER II. The events will be run off
under the auspices of the New York
Press Club A. \. and the stars of the
athletic world have promised to be on
hand. Added interest will be given BY
the presence of the best in the far west
and Canada.
Melvin Sheppard and Martin Sheri.
dan already have volunteered their SER
wees, and Lawson Robertson. trainer of
the lrish-American A. c., says he will
enter all the star athletes of the Irish
American A. c. The New York A. c.
and other big clubs of the district will
enter their strongest teams Coming
one week after the senior Metropolitan
championships, all the athletes will be
IN the best condition and the clash be

EUROPEAN SKATE CHAMPION
AFTER AMERICAN HONORS

CHICAGO, August l3.-Having won
all the laurels Europe has to offer in
the line of skating, Maize Oholm, cham
pion skater of Sweden for five success
sive years, and holder of the European
championship in 1907 and 1908. has
come to America to seek new honors.
Oholm has secured employment in Mo
line, H., until winter comes and the
skating season begins. He has received
invitations from both the Chicago Ath-
letie and Illinois clubs, but has not de-
cided with which organization he will
affiliate. Another question which is un-
decided in Oholm s mind is whether to
enter the professional field or remain
in the amateur class. 1t was his pur-
pose in coming to America to make
capital of the fame he has achieved in
Europe, but the thought that he would
be barred from future contests in
Europe should he give exhibitions in
this country as professional, makes
him hesitate to pursue this plan.

AMERICANS TEACH PANAMA
NATIVES TO PLAY BASEBALL

NEW ORLEANS, August 20.-The
Americans on the canal zone are fast
teaching the natives, and some of them
are developing into good baseball play
erS.
In March last the baseball season
was at its height and several star play
ers from the Northern States secured
work on the canal so as to be able to
play on the various teams.
The natives seemed to have the great
est difficulty learning how to Judge
grounders and pick them up. They were
all good throwers. but experienced dit
ficulty in throwing the various curve
balls.
However, in another year or two an
American team of class will be able to
tour the Panama zone and make fnan-
cial success of 1t.
In a game at Ancon, on the Panama
side of the canal, one of the natives
made four fumbles in succession, put
the fifth chance he accepted, making
neat pickup and out. Then the ma
tives broke loose and cheered him to

BURNS AND LANGFORD
TO FIGHT IN LONDON
Hugh Mcintosh Getting Corner
on the Heavyweight
Market.

Hugh Mcintosh has written me from
London writes Jim Corhett from New
York to the Washington Star, "that the
Burns Langford match has been sched-
uled for the latter part of September
and that he has secured one of the
largest halls in the city Of London in
which to hold the contest. He says
further that the result of the late cham
pionship contest was no surprise to the
English fight fans, and that Johnson
was a hot favorite in the betting.
"'McIntosh has in mind series of
notable heavyweight contests, to be
held during the coming fall and winter
months, and has secured options on the
services of the most prominent fighters
in the heavyweight division, among
them Burns, Langford, Kaufman and
Lang. 1t is to be regretted that these
matches are to be held in other coun-
tries, and it behooves our Richards,
Coffroths and Gleasons to come to the
front quickly or else this hustling Aus
tralian will lure away all the best men
among the heavyweights.
"Another new vaudeville attraction
looms UP Oh Tie uOllLtH s4ht Il bIthSh
cloud in the person of Sam Langford,
who took up the running at local
theater where Johnson left off. Sam
has Bob Armstrong for sparrlng part
ner and seems to be every bit as pOpu-
lar as Little Arthur was before him.
There is talk around town that johnson
and Langford have come to an agree
ment to fight in England some time dur
ing the coming winter, and that Hugh
Mcintosh has secured the match.
.'Johnson of late has been exercising
the prerogatiye of a champion and
changing his mind every day or two,
His latest encouragement is that he IN
tends to stick on this side of the water
and has accepted a thirty-week vaude-
vile engagement. Jack is the change
able kid One day he is to take a
European trip and the next he IS to give

Massive Mike, Square Deal
Referee, Formerly Known as
Brooklyn Kid, Sails Today.

Mike Patton. known in the baimy
days Of the prize ring here as the
" Brooklyn Kid and to the fans of
today as "Square Deal Nike the
massive referee, embarks this morning
on the steamer Sierra homeward bound
to the city of churches and baby car
riages; that peaceful borough of the
great metropolis just across the river
from Little Old New York, where the
busy bees of commerce betake them
selves to rest from the frenzied whirl
of finance and cuddle into the bosoms
of their families.
Mike has been identified with the
sporting fraternity of Honolulu for a
number of years, during which time
he has endeared himself to the hearts
Of the people and if he was to utter his
last farewell from the deck OF the ocean
liner this morning the city would be
struck as with bereavement. But, not
SO. Mike is only going to pay visit
of three months to his old home in
Brooklyn, where he might have been
known as Rough House Mike when
he romped with the goats and kidded
the billies which roamed the green
fields of the great metropolitan suburb
when Patton was in his childhood. But
now he goes back to visit with the com
panions of his youth as Mike the
Mighty exGladiator and Referee.
The exodus of scrappers has set il
from here. The fighting game has tax
en- great impetus in the States lust now
so that the larger promoters have to
send in their cards to get an interview
with the fstic artists and the purses
have rolled into the thousands. Likely
this is the reason for the refiux wave

Cordell hoated away on the Siberia last

NEW DEVICE TO TURN
LAMPS ON AUTOMOBILE

One of the most ingenious of the
many devices invented for use on auto
mobiles is the controlling appliance for
lamps, designed by two Ohio men, says
the Baltimore American. BY means of
this device the lamps of motor car
can be made to turn in any direction
the car turns. thereby eliminating one
cause of accidents. The lamps are
rivotally mounted and turned easily.
Attached to each is a three piece
Jointed rod which runs under the hood
of the auto and connects with the steer
ing gear When the wheel is turned
the lamps turn automatically and throw
their light in whatever direction the
car is going.
Hitherto, in turning a corner, the
road just in front was not illuminated
until the motor car was all the way
around the corner

PLURAL WIFE
 PASSES AWAY
Mrs. Margaret Livingston Carries Her Husbands Secret to the
 Grave,

Freeport, Ill.,, Dec 13.-Mrs. Mar garet l.. Allen Levingston. widow of pr. William A. Levingston, in reality w ram A. Rockefeller, father of John D. Rockefeller, died at her home here last night at the age of eighty years. Her husband had tried to keep his identity a secret while he lived and she carried to her grave the secrets he entrusted to her. She will be buried beside the unmarked grave of her husband who died here May II, 1906, at the age of 96 years.
 What had been known for quarter of a century as ''the Rockefeller Mystery was solved Feb. 2, 1908, when it was proven by conclusive documentary and other evidence that ''Dr. Levingtsou'' was William A. Rockefeller.
 It was shown that for 50 years the father of the richest man in the world had led double life. Under the as- sumed name of Dr. Levingston he farmed and sold medicines of his own decoction in Illinois and North Dakota. During those same years he occasionally appeared at the homes of his sons and among his old ac- quaintances in the East as Dr. Will liam A. Rockefeller. During 34 years of his half century of masque- rade he had two wives.
 The woman who has just died at Freeport was Margaret l.. Allen, a 20year old girl, when Rockefeller, having deserted his wife and children in Cleveland, went to Canada and as sumed the name of Dr. Levingston. It was under the name that he married the girl He was then 45 years old. She lived with him 50 years as his wife Not until few years before his death did she know that he was Rockefeller and not un- til just before he died did she know that he had another wife, the mother

It was spared. That is it was spared until Roper reached the court room of Magistrate J. "A. Frazier in ths city yesterday morning and then he withered again when he observed District Attorney T.

He lanew 1t would be useless to plead not guilty or offer any other excuse ill face of the presence of the prescott ing attorney, and he decided it was best to tell the truth and nothing but the truth.
