It is limited that Spading was favored
over Bomeisler for the reason that the lat

siveness, is peculiarly liable TO injury. Both

from play in several games, and IL is a

0'NeilI Declares WeIterWeight
To Be a Wonderful Boxer.

Frank 5. O'Neill. one of the state boxing
commissioners. sat AT the ringsde Of the
FairmOnt Athletic Club Of The Bronx on
Tuesday evening and watched Mike Glib
hons beat Walter Coffey in clever and de-
cislve style. He declared after the contest
that I'm all his life he had never seen a
man who approached Gibbons I'm speed. skill
and general ability in the ring. Gibbons
seemed 10 fight by instinct and 10 know
Just when and how hard Coffey was going
TO lead The light taps he took on the top
OF his head while he slashed away. but
when a hard blow was coming he moved
just enough to let il slip and then coun-
tered clean and hard.
In speaking OF Gibbons Mr.. Neill said
I've seen many boxer and many bout
In my life, including the best in the ring.
but never In all my career have ! seen a
man who approaches this man Gibbons.
He combines all the effective points Of the
old masters. from the cleverness Of Cor
bett, the rough and rugged tactics Of Shar-
key, the tricks and hitting power Of Fitz-
simmons and the skill Of Packey McFar-
land. Gibbons is the ideal fighter. and it
Will be some time before man OF his
weight will beat him IL he takes care OF
himself.
"Coffey had pounds the better Of the
weight in the bout tonight. and many
thought that his dangerous right hand
punch would take the fight out Of Gibbons.
Mike watched that right hand carefully in
the early rounds. and never left the slight
est sign Of an opening, but as the battle
wore along he waded right in and out
boxed his rival"
Joe Coster. the Italian featherweight
boxer Of Brooklyn. who at one time was
considered as a championship possibility,
will meet Young" Brown, an East Side
boy. for ten rounds at the National Sport
ing Club Of America tonight. Brown came
10 the front rapidly Of late. and is con-
fident that he will at least make a good
showing against his veteran opponent
Coster is in excellent condition for the
contest and is more than confident that he
will win I'm decisive style
Jewey Smith, the heavyweight boxer,
will meet Joe jeanette, the Hoboken negro,
in ten-round bout AT the Fordon Athletic
club at Grand and Orchard streets, to-
night Smith recently defeated Tom over
by. the giant Allentown negro, in three
rounds, and is certain that he will win
from jeanette within the limit. Smiths
confidence is hardly shared by many but
himself jeanette is one OF the best men
in the world to-day, and is considered by
many as rival Of Jack Johnson. Unless
Smith is made Of iron there is every proba-
bility Of his being knocked out.
The State Athletic Commission will meet
az its Offices, al No. Al Park Row, this
afternoon.

the education to go out into the world
to support himself and to aid the dear

come from well to do families and had the
advantage of a good education In youth.
How many of those who have achieved
success were poor and gained their educa-

Experience in the business world is in
itself most useful kind of education and
can often best be attained by entering the
business world at an early age. After bust

can acquire all the culture and booklearn-
ing which he would have gained at college.
The self-made man possesses sterling quail

duces.
One should choose his profession, bust
ness or trade with the idea of adhering to
It. But If, after the choice has been made,
one finds he has erred in the matter, Il is
wise to make a change. One may be a mis-.
cradle failure in one calling and q huge

Men Who Helped to Make America

Although the early Morse navigators
probably were the first visitors to the new
world, Il was the daring voyages and dts
coveries OF the Italian explorer Christopher
Columbus which led explorers and settlers
to America.
Columbus was born in Genoa in l43s, the
son of a wool comber of moderate means.
The Italian form of his name was Colombo,
the Spanish Colon, while its significance
IN English in dove. He WAS the dove who
went out over a waste OF water and
brought back more than an olive branch.
He believed the world TO be a sphere. He
remembered that pilots had found In the
ocean strange hints Of an undiscovered
world-long hollow canes with a capacity
for holding four quarts or wine between
Joint and point, curiously carved bits of
wood and even the drowned bodies of men
washed up by the sea very broad faced
and different in aspect from Christians
Only after great encouragement and the
refusal of aid from several European
monarchs did he obtain assistance from
Isabella, queen Of Spain, who helped him
to tit up an expedition. He set sail from
PalOs In Andalusia with a fleet OF three
vessels.
Ten weeks of weary voyagihg, made des-
perate by mutinOus sailors and other dis
couragements, resulted In a momentous
discovery. At 10 o'clock on the night OF

Mr.. Taft is a mixer. IL he's

Which Field of Labor?

One OF the principal achievements OF the
present age has been the discovery that
labor is necessary on the part OF all. No
individual can lead a thoroughly sane,
happy, righteous life without toll The
nobility of labor, performed In the proper
spirit, has been proved.
In deciding upon which field Of labor to
enter, one must consider his individual
powers, for no one can succeed in his work
unless he Is interested in II. Who can
make a success OF one task II he is con-
stantly longing TO pursue another? To be
sure, there is good discipline in compelling
one,s self to perform uncongenial tasks
but no one would knowingly submit him
self d such an extent Of discipline as IL
involved in the wrong choice of life

is not a very happy individual
