Insanity Racket Worked Hard.
On the night before the Northern
bank, of New York. in which Robin
was also interested, went into the
hands of the state superintendent of
banks. Robin was committed to a pri-
waite sanitarium on aiftGnNits sworn
out by his sister and two other per-
sons. The sanitorium rejected him, and
he returned to the jurisdiction to the
court and submitted to arrest. ON the
day he was arrested Robin attempted
suicide on the way to court by swal-
lowing poison. but the prompt use of
a stomach pump saved him.
On motion OF Jerome, alienists We're

- UST now the boxing game is com
ing in for a great deal OF criticism
in almost every section OF the
country. There are great many
people who believe that the sport
should be abolished entirely This
should not be, for boxing when prop
erly conducted, is the greatest athletic
sport in the world
The trouble with the game is the
fact that all boxers managers ana
promoters are not honest The better
element is making drastic efforts 70
drive out the crooks and the hoodlums,
but they have not as yet completed
their task
Fight to the Finish.
Some reformers would limit the
number Of rounds and DO aWey with
giving decisions The first IDEA mas
some good and some bad points 10

fights But. if we are to save the sport
we must have plenty of six, eight ana
When a title is at stake, however,
believe in the men lighting TO
finish. where the man with the most
strength skin and allrOund ability is
certain TO come out on top.
A large majority Of people have the
impression that the man with the most
brute strength Is sure TO win out In
a finish fight This is not so. If
fighter has not a good knowledge Of
man. he VIII be riddled to pieces and
forced to 60 down for the count before
many rounds have been completed,
even though he may be one of the
toughest scrappers in the world
Not So Many Now.
Four and five years ago there were
e great many more high class pug
fists than now. You can almost count
the present day stars on the fingers
Of your two hands The second rHters
about 900 third raters, who pick up
dollar here and there showing at mid
night clubs
Jack Johnson appears TO have a lit
tie on every white and black heavy
weight Ia the country. The white
heaTies are poor lot and most Of them
wouldn't have had a ghost Of a chance
in the game 10 years ago. Some Of
them have weight and bulEinE muscles
but that Is about ALL A heavyweight
who can't hit stand punishment can't
get around the ring with some pre-
tense at speed, is not worth the
name
There are great many people who
believe that sam LangfOrd viii some
day defeat Johnson If Johnson and
LangfOrd were 70 meet tomorrow I
would place my money on the Calves
ton black, but If the meeting comes off
In year or two, il may be a different
thing
Ever since Jack won the Eight" at
Reno, he has been touring the world
and living like q prince. Nothing has
been too good for him This kind OF
dissipation is sure to tell on a mans
constitution after awhile. It is more
so true Of boxer, who must take

person in some other walk OF life.
Not Much Champion.
At his best, Johnson isn't mucn OF
champion. He has never declslVely
defeated a man who amounted TO any
thing His victory over Jeffries was
a task which could have been accom-
DIished by almost a dozen men And
what glory can Jack claim by defeat
ing Tommy Burns, never @ first class
MANI None at all Burns claimed the
heavyweight title when there was
hardly a man in the class worthy OF
mention.
The light heavyweight title right
fully belongs TO LangIOrd- sam mas

world and has also gone out Of his
ings to about every heavyweight who
would agree to meet him.
Jack O'Brien was the last challenger

vision is the greatest IN years mere

Going back ways, i consider that

play a series CT games with the Albu-

The III Paso team Is made up Of big
league timber selected from the diff

same system in organizing a team, the
games between the two clubs viii be
fierce struggles.
Armstrong, the Globe Mills star
pitcher, has been taken with the Ell
PasO team and viii be worked in the
box against the Albuquerque club.
Brandon, the Kansas City star will
also be seen regularly in the box and
the FL PasO team is depending on him
to bring down the championship of the
tournament for this city
After the Albuquerque series is com
pleted, the two teams VIII return to

pulled off The FL PasO team will re-
main intact until after the Statehood

mile.
Oldring is not a fashy performer
