Men love an encouter because
the actions which bring relief to
the overcharged nerve centers of
the fighters give relief to the same
centers in the beholders. And with
this is pleasure.
A necessary element to the pleas
ure derived from a fight, is the vic
tory of one man. When combat was
a part of life, victory meant escape
from death. Victory was then
necessarily associated with feelings
Of intense pleasure.
Today the victor feels in brains
and nerve the pleasure his ances-
tors experienced from victory. The
spectator shares the pleasure from
similar reasons.
Love of conquest marks the intel.
ligent mans activeness because 1t
1t the correlative of success in the
struggle for existence. 1t is ex-
pressed in highly intelligent con-
tests. The philosopher who proves
his contention does so because his
ancestors fought for victory over
a bit of fish.
And for the same reasons Jeffries
and johnson will play at primitive
combat and the world will play the
same game while watching.

Why this interest?

No! Science says the interes,

Lower animals devote time and
strength to fulfilling the functions
to sustain life. The higher animals
their faculties more numerous, are
not entirely occupied in providing
for immediate needs. Better nu

Vigor turns to something else.
In higher animals excess energy
manifests itself in different ways
A horse fed on oats and not exer
cised kicks, runs and shows spirit
until the surplus has been worked
off.
When excessive energy is found
in man or animal, they feel this
desire for play. Science says:
Desires are ideal feelings that
arise when real feelings to which
they correspond have not been ex
ercised for some time.
Every mental power is subject
to this law-that its physical ma
chinery, when dormant for an un
usual period, becomes unusually
active. Only creatures full OF
strength and energy play.

1t was a small crowd of fans
that went out to see the Indians
beaten yesterday. And it was a
smaller crowd that sat out" a
game devoid or features, but album
dant in stunts which the small boy
terms as being "rotten."
Jack Killilay started out pretty
bad, and from bad to worse, and
he got good; in inning number five
he famed two Tigers on seven
pitched balls, and the next Tiger,
after having three balls and two
strikes on him braced up and start
ed the ball a rolling toward Kip
pert way out in center. Kippert
had 1t all figured out, just how he
was going to handle that ball, but
the ball got away from him, and
Rockenfield completed the circuit.
In the fourth inning Coleman
while the fans were giving him
we'll deserved applause for his cir
Gus catch, he endeavored to catch
Kippert off first base. Well, he
didn't catch Kippert. Mott was not
built for high jumper. Kippert
made a dash for second, taking ad
vantage of the overthrow, but Mott,
in the meanwhile, was after the
ball, and a beautiful peg into Rock
~enfield's glove resulted in the death
of Kippert.
Killilay was rather slow in turn

off of second. However, he landed

FIGHTING PREACHER PICKS

SAN FRANCISCO, May "a

Fred Tenney's days of usefulness
to the New York Giants have pass
ed, and the onetime king OF the
first sackers is scheduled to draw
his release slip. This is according
to information John McGraw, lead
err of the Giants, has passed out
to friends.
The passing of Tenney from the
big league marks the going of the
last of the stars who won pennants
for Boston in 1896, 1897 and
1898. What an aggregation of
ball tossers that old Boston bunch
was. Duffy, Hamilton and Stahl In
the gardens, Collins on third,
Lowe second Herman Long short,
Tenny first. Bergen and Camel
catchers, and Nichols. Klobedanz,
Lewis and Stivetts, pitchers. Ten
ney is the last one of this old
guard to remain in the classy COM
pany of the big leagues.
Tenney joined the Boston team
in 1894 as catcher, coming di-
rect from Brown university. AL
though left handed, Tenny made
good back of the bat, but he didn't
come into his own, until he re-
placed old Tom Tucker on first
base. Then he became the mar
vel of the baseball world and for
years was regarded as the best
first sacker in the game.
Last year Tenney slowed up
and this spring, before reporting tc
the Giants at Marlin, Tex, he had
an operation performed on his foot
which he hoped would benefit him
At Dallas McGraw announced thai
he would play Merkle regularly or
first, but would hold Tenney II
reserve. Merkle has made such
good showing at the initial corner
as to preclude the possibility O
Tenney regaining his regular posit
ion.
Unlike most athletes, Tenney
has saved his money and has

hand ball.
That he may have plenty Of good
things to eat, Johnson has pro-
vided a cote full of pigeons and
yard of chickens. He's strong for
squads and broilers. Incidentally
that famous Joy wagon is here and
the outlook for some fast trials ON
Ocean beach with resultant trouble
unless the mounted cops are leni-
ent, are bright.
Johnson appears to be in excel
lent condition barring little ex-
cess weight. He probably weighs
225 and will go into the ring weigh
ing between 200 and 205 pounds at
which weight he figures he will
be at his very best, as he must
be in the forthcoming battle.

home from school and telling us
of fights he had with other boys.
One night he didn't come in until
late, and when he did he told us
he had been boxing another boy at
the club and showed us the money
he received. 1t wasn't enough, and
l told him to get into the fighting
game, but Johnnie was determined

better fighters than Jack johnson
ever will be. johnson may b
clever and fairly hard hitter, but
he has never beaten a good big
man. II ought to be great fight"
Thus this minister, who was
once a fighter himself, sizes up the
relative ability of the two men.

ideas which do not always conform
with those of some of his flock.
For one he thinks the fight game
