Of the newest crop of jockeys now
riding at the Moncrief park track at
Jacksonville, Fla. When the boys
name is posted on the jockey board
old timers must recall the days when
his father, Fred Taral, was winning
stake after stake and running into the
reputation of being one Of the best
riders this country ever produced.
When Fred retired after more than
score of years in the saddle it was
thought that the name Of Taral would
be lost to the turf for all time. There
was but one who could bid to uphold
the name, and that was Johnny. True,
the boy had already done some riding,
but his father desired to have him
quit 1t.
He tried to set the boy studying law,
and Johnny was an obedient lad for
awhile. He got along fairly well for
time, but when the truth Of that old

San Francisco, CAL, Feb. 21.-To
all appearances in the pink Of con-
dition and ready for their battle,
which will be for the lightweight
championship of the world, Battling
Nelson and Ad Wolgast, the sturdy
little German, await the call to the
open-air arena tomorrow afternoon.
The agreement calls for fifty-five
rounds, the fighters to weigh in at
1873 pounds at 10 o'clock in the morn
ing. Accommodations provide for
900 spectators and to judge from
the present demand for tickets every
seat about the ringside will be filled.
For many weeks sporting men
throughout the country have been
discussing this match, which is the
first in which Champion Nelson has
engaged in many months. To some
of the best judges of pugilism it looks
like one-sided affair, with the title
holding Dane having pronounced
advantage, especially in science and
ring experience, but Wolgast, regard
less of this prevalent belief, will en-
ter the ring absolutely confident not
only of winning but also of knocking
the champion out by dint of terrific
smuggling tactics.
Of Battling Nelson's career and
phenomenal fighting abilities every
one interested in ring affairs has
knowledge. Of Wolgast much less
is known, for he is, comparatively
speaking, a novice in the fighting
game and only recently came into
sufficient prominence to warrant a
match for the championship title.
The little German-American fight
er was born twenty-five years ago in
Cadillac, Mich. His fights, with one
or two exceptions, have been fought
in the West. He began his career in
1906 by knocking out a number Of
lightweights of small reputation. The
handy manner in which he disposed
of his opponents soon attracted at
tention to the little German and it
was not long before he was able to
get on more important matches.

HOW THE TWO FIGHTERS COMPARE.

In 1907 Wolgast took part in twen-
ty-one fights, winning seven by
knockouts, six on decisions, one on
a foul and the others being draws.
The next year he engaged in seven
teen battles, scoring five knockouts,
caring seven decisions and holding
his own in the others. He outpoint-
ed Harry Baker in ten rounds at
Milwaukee and made a creditab]e
showing with Owen Moran in a six
round go. Then he outpointed
frankie Neil in ten rounds and
knocked out Danny Webster in sew
enteen. He held his own with Abe
Attell in a ten-round affair.
Last year Wolgast had fourteen
encounters without suffering a de-
feat. He defeated Danny Webster
and Harry Baker on points and
knocked out Tommy Langdon in one
round, which was something Of a
feat, as Langdon had stayed SIX
rounds with Jem Driscoll Wolgast's
best showing, however, was in his
ten-round contest with Battling Mel
son at Los Angeles. No decision
went with the Nelson battle, but it
was the general opinion of the spec
tators that Wolgast clearly outclassed
the lightweight champion in point Of
ring science 1t was this fight which
convinced Wolgast that he could de-
feat the champion in longer bat
tie. Tomorrow's contest will give
him his opportunity, as it is schei-
uled for firty-five rounds. Eddie
Smith, the we'll known Oakland ref
cree, will be the third man in the
ring.

PROPER HOUSE NUMBERING.

Inconvenience caused by incorrect
house numbering or by neglect to
put up numbers at all is felt by
cities other than Wenatchee. In rap
idly growing communities where new
additions are made frequently and
where changes have been made in the
original plats, it is difficult to obtain
accuracy, but, nevertheless, by rea-
son of this inconvenience, efforts
should be made to correct the dis
crepancies as far as possible. The
criticism made of this condition in
Spokane by the Inland Herald is very
applicable to Wenatchee. This pub
LEGATION says:
Zone of the greatest inconvenience
now affecting the public of Spokane
is the failure of the city to number
houses properly. Letter carriers re-
port that many houses bear no num-
bers whatever, and others carry the
wrong numbers.
''It is contrary to the postal regu-
lations for a letter carrier to deliver
mail to houses that have no number
and to those having the wrong one.
At a meeting of business men a few
DAYS ago Postmaster Edris called at
tention to the fact that injury and
inconvenience to the public result
from this deplorable condition. 1t
is proposed to take the question up
with the city council with view to
remedying the evil.
mot only is this fault an injury
to business by reason of annoying de-
lays, but strangers complain that it
is often impossible for them to find
addresses. It is remarkable that a
city that is so progressive as to strike
the world as phenomenal in its
growth should have so long overlook
ed a matter of the Importance of
numbering houses. Henceferth the
inconvenience will be greater, for the
postmaster will be compelled to en-
force the regulations. This will mean
that carriers will not take mail to the
houses that bear wrong numbers, nor
to houses that have no number. The
superintendent Of carriers now has a
complete list Of the houses that are
to come under the ban"

public ownership Of railroads is

Public ownership Of railroads Is
bitter step to take, but If Mr.. Nor
gan refuses to consent to public regu-
lation of his huge monopoly he is
today forcing approval of public own,
ership upon conservative men who
hitherto have dreaded it."
Had this statement come from a
governor of some western state such
as Kansas or Oklahoma, where radi-
cal tendencies find frequent express
sion, little notice would have been
taken of it, but coming from staid
old New England conservative it is
somewhat suggestive of the under
current feeling against monopolistic
control.
