When Lazy Dogs Howl

From Answers, London.
 He was poor miserable looking tog, and the strangers heart was filled with pity. For the dog was bowling, and 1t was only too evident that he was suffering pain.
 So he asked the tired rustic who iounged near, why the dog howleu.
 ''Im?" asked the rustic. He's just laxy-thats all"
 But laxiness doesn't make dos howl, surely?" queried the benevolent one. k
 Does '1m," said the tired owner. "On'y lazy" ,+ .s,.~s.
 But how?" queried the persistent qucs- tioner How can laziness make him. howl?'
 ''that pore dog is sittin' on some real tough missiles and he's too lazy to get of. so he just sits there and howls, cause. 1t hurts. sss?''

QUOTATIONS FELL
 BACKWARD SLOWLY On Stock Exchange After
 Abandoning an Upward Movement

New York, November 1s.-Quotations fell backward slowly on the stock ex- change today after an attempt to con tinue the upward movement had been abandoned.
 A few stocks including Union Pacific, . Lehigh Valley which had sales of 1000 and Anlalgamated copper gained point or so after the opening, but the pressure of stocks for sale was steady and effective and the list gave way to below yester- day's closing range.
 Losses at the close were small. Only in a few cases it extended to point. . The heavy tone was attributed largely to weekend profit taking. Toward the. close the weakness became more pro- nounced on selling by professionals which followed announcement of the action Of tho federal court in favor of the govern- ment in the case of the Chicago packers and Eehigh Valley closed at 17o3s.
 The weakness of the Wabash issues was another factor Announcement of the traffic agreement between the St. Louis ai.d San Francisco railroad and the Louis vile and Nashville as a result of the re- cent rupture between the St. Louis and San Francisco and the Gould system led to selling of the various issues among which the Wabash stocks gave way most rapidly.
 The common stock yielded 11sc, the preferred 2s4c and the per cent bonds 2i4c.
 Toward the close these stocks rallied Slightly. Complete figures of october ior- eign trade made favorable showing with nearly ssoooo,o0o.
 Trade reviews report conditions through out the country as somewhat better, business having been stimulated by the drop in temperatures. Further re- rorts of better conditions were received from the. copper trade.
 In response to the recent increase in railway equipment orders American car and foundry was marked up two points. Despite these indications the fortnightly report of the number of idle cars revealed an unexpected increase in the surplus chiefly in the eastern and Chicago dis tricts. Expectations of shrinkage in the cash holdings of the banks were boine out by the statement which re- revealed a loss in the actual table of more than s6o00,o00 owing largely to the exportation of gold.
 Loans decreased about that amount. while deposits fell off more than s10OOo, . oao, the result being decrease of s, POO, coo In the surplus reserve. M
 The general bond market held we'll Sea- board Air Line 4s remaining at S2, despite the weakness Of basic issues. Total sales par value, $1,750000, United States regls- tered 2s losing 1sc on the week.

THE REALM OF SPORT
RINGS HEAVIEST HITTERS
 NUT ALWAYS CHAMPIONS

from chin to belt When his man was worried and giving ground un- der this attack, Terry would try the K. O., and it generally landed.
 Young COrbett hdU a remarkable kick in his right hand. fairly hard whaRg in the left, and a style Of his own. He bored in like McGovern, but did not send in so many little Lows Resting his head on the vic tim's chest. he tried overland swats and usually got one in.
 Joe Choynski, so those who fought him say, had a right hand kick as heavy as that of Bob Fitzsimmons, and delivered even more suddenly. Bob Fitzsimmons said he never got such a whack in his life as he did when Joe hit him, while both Jim Jeffries and Tom gnarkey say Joe nearly broke their heads off the neck with his fearful smashes. Joe hadn't the weight, and las legs lacked the endurance. and so he never was a champion.
 Jim Jefries. fallen idol, ought to have been a dreadful hitter. but his usual style-letting the other man NRAAfN AAA anu NAAfAA AAAA EtAAAAA6 AAAAAA bAA defensive punch-neyer showed how hard Jim could hit if he had wanted to. He did let out some on Jack Munro, and seemed to have wallop quite in proportion to his stature.
 Jack Johnson. too. has always pre- ferred to hold back the punch and let the other man harpoOn himself on it. People Wlo have been hit by Mistah Johnsing say he has a lovely whack if he wants 10 use it--a nice K. O. in either hand.
 Probably the best combination of boxer and hard hitter that ever got inside the ropes was Tommy Ryan. whose footwork was equal to that of any featherweight and who could hit a jarriBg knockout punch with either hand when the opportunity presented. Most of the sluggers, however, have been slow footed and most of the boxers have been gentle hitters. Tommy Ryans come only once in a generation.

(By W. A. Phelon)

Some of the heaviest hitters that ever drew on @ boxing glove were men who never reached a champion ship-men who lacked cleverness enough to get them to the top. and whos in the long run, were worn down and put out of the game be- cause they took two blows 10 land one, and could not stand the gruel- ing forever
 Abe Attell is prOverbial for light hitting So was Jim Corbett, and yet both COrbett and Attell are strong, sinswy. well muscled men. They always preferred to take no risks and wear down their men rather than charge in and take long chances.
 Battling Nelson could not hit es- pecially hard, his blows being more in the nature of vicious shoves, and the Battler won by always boring in until he tired out the other fellow. Ad Wolgast on the contrary. carries a knockout kick in the left hand hs is a felt handed man-and the talk Of sundry critics that Ad cannot knock men out with one punch is sheer absurdity.
 Peter Maher is credited with hav' ing as hard a right handed punch as any heavyweight that ever lived Peter could flash it in fast. too. and did little telegraphing before he shot il over. Bob Fitzsimmons, though, had it on Peter and all of them, be, cause he could hit hard with either mitrsn. Old Bob had an awkward cleverness, a queer foot shuffle and a trick of humping up his shoulders to guard the jaw. Add to that a stratling shit, and it wasn't hard for Bob to, put either hand into the framework tof an adversary. Robert however, broke those hands all to pieces with his mighty swipes, and had no fighting tools at all in later eaars.
 Terry McGoyern could hit hard, but prefaced his knockout blow by q perfect storm ot shoyes and jolts

OLD CHINESE ROLLS FOUND
Thousands of Manuscripts on SIX Dis covered In Grottos by
 French Explorer.

Paul Pelliot. the young French ex. plorer of Chinese Turkestan, found in caveTns at Tuan-Huang silk rolls which are Chinese manuscripts. some Of them embroidered by artists who seem to have stepped out of The Arabian Nights" These rolls have been immured in these grottos for nine hundred years, and when de ciphered and translated will tell the story of a civilization that fourished over a thousand years ago and is dead
 The explorer brought back i've thou sand rolls: but as there are five hun dred grottos. he believes many more libraries will be found.

SULLIVAN SELECTS HIS
 ALL AMERICAN TEAM

NEW YORK, Dec. 27:-FoEowing his custom of several years past. James E. Sullivan. president of the Metropolitan association and secre. tary treasurer of the Amateur Ath. letic Union, yesterday announced his selections of the all-America and all. collegiate teams for the past year in The Athletic Almanac he edits an. nually.
 Strangely enough, no man is picked to fill two positions in the roll of honor in either team, although the following are among those chosen on both teams in their respective spec ialities: 22O-yard run, R. c. Craig. Michigan; 40 yard. D. B. Young Am. heTst; one mile, J. P. Jones, Cornell |. two-mile, T. S. Berna, Cornell; 120 yard hurdle, G c. Chisholm, Yale: shot put, Russell L. Beatty. Columbia.
 A. L. Gutters6n of the University of Vermont is chosen for the events on both teams. This versatile ath- lete is selected as the best man in the all-American team in the running broad jump and the all-American College team in the low hurdIers.
 As far as the standard events are concerned the college athletes have the call as to performances Peculiar as to the selections is the choice of George W. Minds of Rennsylvannia in the all-college choices for the 100" when. as a matter of fact. he finished outside the points to Craig, who won in 4-5 seconds. Jones of Cornell at tested his right to star as the premier half miller among athletes of both college and athletic worlds. despite the prominence of Ira Davenport of Chicago, who is said to have run the quarter" inside 49 seconds and the half" in better than 1:57 during the same afternoon. The teams selected are:
