Have been referring to the White
Mans Hope.
A new white mans hope is her
aided. He has been discovered in the
wilds of Florida. He must have been
located rather easily, as when his stock
inged feet are ON the ground the top
of his head is said to disturb the at
mosphere strata at height of six
feet nine inches. White hopes seem
to be going up with the cost of living
The new aspirant for Jack Johnson's
title is said to weigh $50 pounds. When
his father is obliged to purchase new
clothes for his promising son he must
be thankful that 1t wasn't twins. AS
the boy is only 20 years old he prob
ably has not passed the growing age
and in time may develop into quite a
stable man.
The new hope has a reach of 50
inches; chest measurement Of 81
inches his waist measures 1874 inches:
his calf is 16 inches and his ankle 1913
inches. He never smokes or drinks and
has led a healthy outdoor life
He was discovered by newspaper

you saw the first fight Of mine with
Sullivan, and If you can show me the
article there will be no trouble in try
ing him out. / will have a man to
look him over when you are ready"
A Florida man sums up the new
hopes chances are as follows:
''The opinion of q man of Corbett's
standing cannot be ignored, and If Iib-
bard's Hercules stands up before Cor
belts representative and is taken in
hand by Corbett and a trainer like
Delaney, there certainly will be some
thing doing in the Johnson camp be-
fore many months. OF course, it will
take a long time to put young man
in good fighting condition, but Hib-
bard's boy has gone 15 rounds with
the heavyweight of Georgia and in the
last round the boy was still fast and
fighting"
Hibbards Hercules will probably be
known as the Florida Royal Palm. He
is taking big chances. Six feet and
nine inches is some distance to fall.

He KEPT FAITH
WITH CONNIE MACK

New Orleans. La, Feb. 1S.--It was to
keep faith with Connie Mack that the
New Orleans club turned Joe Jackson
back to the Philadelphia club after
turning down an offer Of approximately
$4,000 from Charley Murphy, of the
Chicago cubs.
President Frank of the pelicans, told
this story last Monday, and the story
Of the $4,000 was verified by Charley
Murphy, who spent Monday in New
Orleans.
Jackson was given to Frank by Con-
ME Mack and Frank gave him back.
BY breaking faith Frank could have
realized $4,000 by selling him to the
cubs. This would have been a record
breaking price paid to a minor league
club for a player. There were no pa
pers to show that Mack had any
strings on Jackson, who had been re-
leased outright from the Philadelphia
club to the New Orleans club.
Charley Murphy went from Chicago
to Mobile to see Frank when the latter
was in a Mobile hospital. following
an operation for appendicitis.
my first offer" said Murphy. "was
scales to $4,000 when Frank laugh
ingly told me that he was going to
give Jackson back to Connie Mack. I
would have given $4,000 in a minute
for Jackson, but knew as soon as
Frank told me that would have to do
business with Mack, that there was no
use for me to go any further; so 1
picked up my grip and caught the next
train for Chicago i couldn't have
bought Jackson from Mack for all the
money in the world, as it was then
settled that the cubs and athletics
would fight 1t out for the worlds
championship"
Mack Wouldn't Take His Money.
Frank says he tried to buy Jackson's
release from Mack for $1,000, but Mack
refused to take his money Mack
thought that Jackson would never live
up 20 his promise as ball player, be-
cause Of two broken ribs and an inter-
nal disorder that Jackson Is supposed
to have. Mack wrote Frank that he
wouldn't let Frank throw away $1,000
on a player in that condition. Frank
insisted and Mack agreed to give Jack
son to New Orleans outright with the
understanding that liz Jackson "panned
out" Frank would edo the right thing
by Mack.
The result was that Frank, keeping
faith with Mack gave Jackson back to
the Philadelphia club, and Mack, anx-
ious for right-handed hitting out
fielder, traded Jackson to Cleveland for
Bris Lord Cleveland also got Third
Baseman Rath in the deal, but proba-
bly, put up some side money.
While Frank has never realized the
price of cigar out of the Jackson deal.
he has something that he considers
just as valuable as the big wad of
money he would have received for
jackson. and that is the warm friend
ship, confidence and support of such
powerful men in the baseball world as
Connie Mack
1t is doubtful If there is minor
league manager who enjoys the same
with major league moguls
as Frank. and this has helped him con-
in running his own club. If
Frank gets into q hole this season for
players, the chances are that Mack will
come quickly to his rescue.

Killing IS Still
IN A SQUABBLE

Chicago Feb. 1s.--Johnny King, the
cubs premier catcher and charter
member of the "Hold-out union" is
back on the job with the old wall. ac-
cording to reports from Kansan City.
King is said to have delivered an ul-
timatum that he will not report for
spring training before April 5.
The backstop's action is said to be
due this year to the squabble between
himself and Manager Chance during
the worlds series when Chance hurt
the veterans pride by refusing to all
low him to conduct his own campaign
behind the bat.
King and Manager Chance had some
hot words last spring when the catcher
wanted to throw to second base while
watching third during the worlds SER
les. Johnny says 1t is one of the best
plays he has worked up and that 1t
was no guess with him. He is sure of
the throw.
i've practiced the trick good many
times and know what can do with it.
BY keeping my eye on the man at third
! can hold him to the bag and often I
catch the man at second mapping"
said King,
He thinks Chance was rather rough
with him when they discussed the mat
ter and for that reason also he had ex-
pected the manager would include him
in some trade. Killing now thinks that
Archer will be used at first most of the
time and he will be the mainstay be-
hind the bat While he will not train
at New Orleans with the team he win
join the aggregation when 1T is play
ing exhibition games on its way to
Chicago.

HOW PACKEY STARTED
Paekey Mcfarland Started Into the
Fight Game Because He Did Not

Packey Mcfarland took up fighting
because he didn't want to go to school.

BADGER FACULTY
IS NOT OPPOSED

Madison. Wis, Feb. 1s.-In the cur
rent number of The Alumni Magazine
of the university of Wisconsin, Prof.
c. II. Bunting gives his version of why
WIsconEin is weak in athletics. He
points out to the alumni that the pro-
fessors do not lie awake nights plan
ming how to cripple the athletic terms
but that is a condition and not theory
which confronts the athletes in the
university.
At present it is the scarsitiy of ma
terial and not faculty edicts, which put
blight on different teams. He dis
putes the statement made that athletes
are compelled to pass higher scholar
ship test than other students and shows
how all students are on absolutely
even basis.
In presenting some figures, Professor
Bunting shows that there are 2,748 men
students in the university proper. Aft
er the rules of the college conference
has been lived up to 1,43O students have
been eliminated for athletic competi-
ton, leaving 1873 eligible for the diff
ferent pastimes. OF this number 377
fall by the wayside on account of con-
ditions or the fact that they are I'M
able to keep up the standard of II
set in classroom scholarship This
leaves Gal, and many of these, 1t Is
pointed out, are physically unable to
take part in college games, so that the
list is still further reduced.
The figures as given should dispose
of the suspicious of the alumni, ac-
cording to the writer, that the faculty
is putting the scholarship screws on
the athletes to the detriment of sports
at the university.

And, just as 1t is a trivial manner
ism that makes a woman shudder away
from a man, so it may be an equally
trivial mannerism that fascinates her.
Ask any woman who is in love to
tell you any of the little personal traits
of the man she loves. and she will
mention countless things that to- any
one else, would seem absurdly insignifi-
cant, but which she dreams about by
the hour.
1t may be the way her holds his
cigar, or carries his cane, or a trick of
throwing back his head, or ruuing
his had through his hair, or the grace
with which he lounges in a chair or
leans against a mantelpiece.
The Tone of His Voice.
Or perhaps it is tone of voice. the
tender, protecting way he says Little
girl" or Kitten or Sweetheart" One
young woman told me that just his
voice over the telephone, the deep, rich
note of his hello" would alone have
almost won her love.
Women are such foolish, impression
able, Illogical creatures that the why's
and wherefores of their loving are
indeed past understanding"
