cation that II viii remain so up to the
very minute the rival boxers enter the
ring.
Had this match been made a year
ago there is no doubt that Nelson
would be ruling a 10 choice right
now. But during the year the Battler
has lost his championship laurels.
His poor showing against Wolgast
convinced most Of the fans that Nelson
is all but through, and now they are
rating Moran at evens with him.
though the Britisher is little more
than q feather weight
There is no question that Nelson has
gone back, and gone back far at that.
Even his most ardent admirers will
admit this. It is a question Of how
far has he gone back and can he still
stand the pace Of q gruelng 20 rounds
against a fast, clever boxer of the Mo-
ran type. II he can finish strong in
20 rounds he must still be considered
a factor in the ranks of the light
weights. and if he blows up and quails
under punishm ment, II is a foregone con-
clusion that he will never meet VOL
Esst again. Moran or some other man
will have the chance at the title.
Nelson is very difficult performer
10 figure on dope or past performances
The fans have had him "in" so many
times during the last two or three
years and he has bobbed UP and fooled
them so often that many Of them are
looking for him to DO the selfsame
thing this time. But two or three
years makes a lot Of difference. es-
pecially TO a man like Nelson, who
has been in such constant training all
that time.
Moran has IL on the Battler In youth
science and speed in the ring, but
whether these three valuable assets
will OFFSET the wonderful gameness
determination and aggressiveness OF
the Dane remains to be proved. Twen-
" rounds is a long distance TO travel
and many an upset is liable to happen
so for all these various reasons II Is
no small wonder that Nelson and Moran
are selling at evens among those who
like 10 wager
Moran finished his active training
over at Billy Shannon's yesterday aft
ernoon His farewell work consisted
Of two four round bouts with Joe Long
the Oakland middle weight, and Jef
Perry his lightweight sparring part
ner. who has been stopping jolts and
jabs for many celebrities.
Before going through his last rounds
of boxing, Moran posed for the NOV
ing picture men. Like the Dane, NJ
did everything from feeding the chick
ems TO knocking down his sparrine
partners. His work was fast and clear
cut and he appeared TO be in splendid
physical form. This. however, can no'
be fully determined TIL he goes a few
rounds with the Battler on Saturday
afternoon. It will be as severe a tes'
as Moran has ever known.
Moran was visited by Frank Poth

man Of Philadelphia. Poth Is here with
a party Of friends, who made their trip
TO the coast at this particular time in
order to see Saturdays contest. Poth
is a great admirer of the little Brit
isher and so are his friends. For this
reason it IS thought probable that they
will send in several thousand dollars
and probably make Moran favorite at
the ringside.
The Englishman is very confident and
in fine spirits. He went through all

should the Batter be the man who is
TO set it.
Nelson has at last needed the warn
ing of his friends. He will not enter
the ring against Moran without the
assistance OF an able second, for yes
terday afternoon he closed with the
veteran fighter, manager and promoter,
Alex Greggains. Alex will take charge
Of the Nelson camp this morning and
remain with the Battler till after the
contest.
The Dane entertained Billy Clifford
and his beauty chorus from the Prin-
cess theater yesterday afternoon, box
ing four rounds each with Marty Kane
and Walter Scott. He has improved
wonderfully in handling himself with
these boys, and even IL he is not the
Battler of old, he is at least so per
cent better than he was on the night
he went up against La Grave. The

Nelson made a great hit with all the
show girls and, naturally. he turned a
few extra tricks for their especial
benefit All he regretted was the fact
that he did not have his pink tights,
but the girls all declared that he was
just perfectly grand even without the
gaudy layout.
Clifford, who is a great fan and q
that he is going to wager the modest
sum Of 81 900 on the Battler. Like
others who have seen him lately, Cliff
ford was very much surprised at the
good showing which Bat made yes
terday. though he does not look as
fresh and as aggressive as the cham
pion of some two years ago.
Abdul the Turk, master of cere-
monies at the Nelson camp. announces
his engagement to Miss May Halfey

PASSION PLAY IN AMERICA.
Steps Taken 10 Secure Production at
East Aurora by Great Nau-
deyille Manager.

When the time again arrives for
the peasautry Of Oberammergau to
produce the Passion Play. it is just
possible that there will not be so
many reservations from America,
and all because Americas foremost
vaudeville manager, and the pro-
pagater of white hyacinths (done in
goats ears every little while at East
Aurora) have arranged according
to the latter-to import these IA
nous Thespians, so the people may
know what they have missed, and
incidentally pay "a visit, their re-
spects and their loose change to the
soft soap saleman Of East Aurara
Apparently there is little question
about their coming, even if as yet
there is little more than the word
Of Fra Elbertus to rely on, and 50
an increase Of travel from all over
the country may be expected a year
hence.
If it is true that the Passion play
ers will come, another wreath must
be added to managerial laurels al
ready secured by the acquisitivc
Beck, and if he has really arrange I
for the production Of the famous
spectacle in America, he is entitled
to great credit even if the patron
of palaVer in Aurora seems to be
associated with him in the enter
prise.
Regarding the possibility of the
production being seen in this coun-
try, Hubbard says:
you see, the theatrical men 81
America have been trying to get th'
Passion Play artists to come to thi'
country for years. They are re
ligious people and their art is a sor
of creed. They spurned all offer'
of money because it seemed
sacrilige to present this wonderful
play for money, and particularly il
theatre. We have overcome al
obstacles. We learned that thes

Mr. Beck went straight to the Pop

favor Still they are ever alert and
alive TO any good that may come
their way. and when it comes they
simply appropriate it. and tarrying
not, move steadily on.
Good health. When you go out of
doors, draw the chin in. carry the
crown Of the head high. and fill the
lungs to the utmost; greet your
friends with a smile and put soul il
every hand clasp.
Do not fear being misunderstood;
and never waste minute thinking
about your enemies.
Try to fix firmly in your own mind
what you would like to do, and then
without violence of direction you win
move straight to the goal.
Fear is the rock upon which we
split, and hate is the shoal on which
many a bark is stranded.
When we are fearful, the judgment
is as unreliable as the compass of a
ship whose hold is full of iron ore;
when we hate. we have unshipped the
rudder; and if we stop to mediate on
what the gossips say, we have allowed
a hawser to befoul the screw.
Keep your mind on the great and

The Worst Yet.

With all the protest against our in
adequate system for the admlnistra-
tion of Justice it is interesting to note
that Mexico at least is no better off
than we are. A striking example of
the jnhuman treatment accorded peo-
nile charged with crimes in that coun-
trv is the case of Joseph Woods, an
American engineer who has been in
nriscn in Monterey, Mexico. since No
vember II, charged with burglary. The
authorities have refused to release him
on bond although al unlimited amount
of bail was offered by the friends of
the accused man.
Woods went to Mexico to settle the
estate of one Jacob Chucovich, an Am
erican citizen employed as railroad
fireman. Chucovich had no relatives
in Mexico. His closest friend was
Woods a brother of the dead man
who lives in Denver, Col, could not go
to Mexico to wind up the affairs of the
deceased and he gave Woods the pow
er of attorney to do so. AS attorney
Woods collected Chucovich's life insur-
arcc and forwarded it to the brother
in Denver. In the same capacity he
went to the house where Chucovich
lived and took possession of his per-
snnal effects. No protest wa; made at
the time but a month later the woman
who owned the house had Woods ar
rested On d charge of breaking into
the house and stealing the property.
The state department under pres
sure from President Taft has now TAX
on IN the matter, and speedy ad-
iustmcnt is expected. However, sup
posing Woods had been other than an
American citizen, his fate would be
anything but pleasant for it is more
than likely that his two months i'm
prisonnent without trial and without
bail would doubtless extend into sew
eral months and possibly years so that
whatever fault may be found with our
system it is not the worst in existence.

SUNFLOWER PHILOSOPHY

\ politician becomes a statesman

he is Out of the Ordinary.

chip on his shoulder eventually gets

The thing on old man becomes most
thoroughly tired if is grumblng. al

Another advantage of being an in

seems to be about the only place they
can win, barring the Chautauqua cir
cult.

Reflected Glory,

Mr.. Jones was an excellent man,
prosperous in his business and modest
in his ways, but not distinguished for
anything in particular. His wife. how
ever, Mrs. Smith-JOnes, was woman
of rare accom- plishments. She was an
artist of more than ordinary ability,
a brilliant pianist land possessed a
voice of remarkable sweetness and
power.
At large party one evening, at
which she and her husband were pres
ent, her singing captivated a stranger
who was one of the guests, and he
asked to be introduced to her. His re-
quest was granted. After few min
utes' conversation the hostess came
and took him away.
You mustn't monopolize her, Mr..

Seed Improvement.

| The Maine Seed Improvement ASSo-
vile Tuesday has set itself task
which. ii properly performed, will keer
| the members busy for several years t.
come and if their efforts arc successful
agriculture in the state of Maine viii
he vastly benefited. First-class crops
do not come from poor seed. Eyer
| farmer who has considered the sub
| iect will admit that. The difficulty OF
procuring irst-class seed is appreci-
ated By all those who have tried it.
The farmers know that one way is to
raise it themselves. Heretofore few
individuals have given attention to
this department of farming with some
success, but the great majority have
been content to DRIFT along with such
seed as they could acquire with the
least trouble and expense.
1t is hoped that an organization. the
sole purpose Of which is the improve
ment of seed now in use and the in
PRODUCTION of new seed in this State
will have such an affect upon the crops
of the farmer who takes advantage of
the work it does, that every farmer
will fall into line profit by it's sugges-
tons and aid 1t through his own eX-
perience.
Article of the constitution of this
association states the purpose to be
the establishing of more cordial rela
tons among the farmers, Investigating,
experimenting. growing, and dissent
mating new and superior varieties of
fam seeds. the distribution of litera-
ture. and an annual meeting for the
discussion Of topics and experiments
beneficial to the members.
Maine is essentially a farming COM
munity and the purposes of this assoc
citation are of paramount interest to a
large percentage Of our population. It's
success depends upon the interest and
enthusiasm of the farmers and it is to
DC hoped that those who have taken up
the work will not be permitted to be-
come discouraged through lack of in
terest and enthusiasm. Let every farm
or make it his business to get in touch
with those who have launched the as
ISOLATION and cooperate with them IN
every way. 1t not only means better
life for the farmer but it means a larg-
err return on his investment of money
and energy.
