Ad Wolgast Walks
Mile on Ocean Shore

LOS ANGELES. Cal. Dec. 1.-As
bright and clipper as though he had
never seen the inside of a hospital in
his young, eventful life. Ad wolgast
yesterday walked over one mile on the
ocean front at Venice.
The little champion was feeling In the
best of spirits and seemed to want to be
outside in the air every minute of the
day.
He slept soundly Sunday night, and
yesterday morning was up bright and
early and insisted on Manager Tom
Jones accompanying him on a long walk
along the ocean front. The little cham
pion walked slowly and used a light
cane as a support, but otherwise seemed
as well as ever. Jones said that the
greatest difficulty he encountered was
compelling him to go slow and not
hurry along at a lively clip.
A number of Wolgast's friends visited
him yesterday at the beach and wished
him good luck in his convalescence.
He will rest easily for a month or
more and will then begin light exercise,
such as long walks and exercise in the
gymnasium, all of which will lead up
to putting himself in condition to enter
upon a series of short four and six
round boxing contests throughout the
East. with probably his first appear
ance in the ring to come about July 4
of next year.

Experts Say Sharpe
Is Good Manager

OAKLAND. Cal. Dec. 27.-Oakland
has secured very capable manager in
Bud Sharpe to succeed Harry wolver-
ton' according to experienced baseball
experts here. Wolverton himself was
instrumental in getting Sharpe from
the Buffalo club Of the International
League. and believes that Sharpe will
make the Oakland team a winning COM
bination.
Sharpe has not had a deal Of exper-
ience as a manager. but he has seen
quite few years of service as a first
baseman. He is described as a tall,
slender man of twenty-seven years,
stands six feet, and is a likable fel-
low. He is right-hand thrower and
batter. and is dead right field hitter.
He had batting average of .e75 in the
Eastern League during last season and
Is known as a timely hitter.
Sharpe has had a couple of trials In
major leagues, but owing to the fact
that he Is not a strong man physically,
he did not stick. Several years ago he
was with the Boston Americans, and
for time last season was with the
Boston Nationals. When Wolverton
was managing Newark, in the Eastern
League, Sharpe was Harry's frstsack-
er, and convinced him that he Is q
good man for a ball club.

HOBBIES CAUSE

CHICAGO, November 23.-The lob
bic and tube skiIs and other tight
lifting garments are given as cause
for tuberculosis by Health Commits
sioner Herman Spalding. Loose fitting
clothes are, he declares, proper for
maintaining health and happiness
DIR, Spalding recommends that sizes
in coats and underclothing be pur-
chased about four sizes larger than
those you have been accustomed to, if
they have been tight fitting
If you have been wearing a tight fit
ting hobble or tube skirt, he recon-
mends that you forget the styles and
order a hoop skirt.
Another recommendation is that
when you walk along the street shrug
your shoulders and allow the cold all
to circulate beneath your clothing II

the skin air just as you would the

AN AMERICAN QUESTION.

1t is not Jewish question, it is an
American question, altogether an Am
erican question, that has grown out of
Russia's arrogant attitude in respect
to American passports. There is evil
dence of this in the fact that many
public-spirited Americans not of the
Jewish faith are taking part in the
agitation to secure the. removal of this
intolerable discrimination. But the
nature of the question itself, the very
matter in dispute, shows it to be one
that concerns all Americans. Our
Constitution guarantees and our gov
eminent maintains the absolute equal
ity of rights and privileges under Am
erican citizenship. When Russia de-
clines to honor a passport issued to
an American Jew because he is a Jew
! it sets up a distinction which we dc
not make ourselvevs and which we
cannot honorably permit anybody else
TO make.-New York Tribune.

HANDICAP ON

Postmaster General Hitchcock denied
today that he intends advocating

said that after consultation with the

mission and had been sent cOnfiden-

and suggestions.
A leading publisher, he said, had
suggested as a protection to the legi-
innate publications, newspapers in
cluded, that the line be drawn upon
the amount of advertising which might
be carried at the second-class mail
rate, and he suggested that 80 per cent
might aHoru redSondOle uIlllI' Out
as yet there had been no positive de-

the submission of the report.
