WINE ORGY ENDS IN ASYLUM

NEW YORK, March 9.-A 5000 entertainment" during which cham pagne flowed freer than water and one of Broadway's long distance piano players was on duty for twenty-four hours, marked the end of Mrs. Harry l.. Bloodgood's spec tacular career along the Great White Way, and was the direct cause of her confinement to the Rivercrest sanitarium this week, and brought sudden termination today 10 the third suit for divorce filed by her husband, Harry Latimer Bloodgood
 MT. Bloodgood will drop his suit, which is said to contain sensational charges.

Turner, the cotton duck king," before her mar riage and was later named by Fur ner's wife as correspondent in a divorce action.

How many individuals in that great army of baseball fans who count that day lost whose low descending sun" finds them with scrap of dope unread, can tell off hand how much of the remnants of Detroit S three times champions composed part of the rank and file of the same only four years before it began winning pennants? Few, we wager.
 Only Sam Crawford, George Null lin, and Wild Bill Donovan of last years Tigers were members of the team in 1903, and Crawford had only just joined the team. Ty Cobb. and Ownie Bush were unknowns and some of the men who were Tigers nine years ago have been forgotten.
 With Mullin and Donovan on the pitching staff were Kissinger and Kitson, and behind the bat were Jim McGuire, now the teams assist ant manager; Buelow and McAllister. On the infield Carr, now manager at Kansas City, was at first base. Char ley Smith at second, Herman Long, now dead, at short, and Courtney and Yeager at third. The four out fielders were Crawford, Gessier, Bar rett and Lush. Besides Wahoo Sam only Gessier was in the majors last season and he already has been sent to the minors. Lush quit while yet young player to coach the Yale nine and Barrett tried his hand at Managing Milwaukee.
 Jumping to Ohio's pair of major league teams, where are the Reds and Maps of 1903? Of eighteen men on Cincinnati's roster that season only two finished last season with a ma jor team. One of those came back to the game after several years on the stage and the other is booked for the minors in 1912.

ants had fallen on the gritty cinders. Their hands were black and torn and bleeding Their trousers sagged in ragged shreds Their shirts waved like battle flags from the ruins of old forts. But they fought on and the sun continued to dip toward the rim of the west.
 The vendors of peanuts and pop corn stopped crying their wares. Everything was held in abeyance. There was history made on the cin- der path-and this truth seemed to whisper itself in the rustling of the maple leaves
 Two hours had come and gone and the breath in the bodies of both men scorched holes in their lungs. They were fighting blindly now holding to locks with grim deter. imitation of success.
 And the unschooled boy finally came to his knees-then wilted over to his shoulders-but his victor was too weak-kneed to talk. He had won by the narrowest margin

MATE SHAVING CURE SEEN BY SUFFRAGIST
 IN WOMEN JURIES

ST. LOUIS, March 10. When women attain their full rights and are placed on juries, women murder derers will not escape punishment as they do now" said Mrs. Roland G. Usher. suffragist.
 She was discussing the statement of former Lieutenant Governor Chas. P. Johnson that uxorcide by wives is increasing with the development of the women's right movements.
 Suffragists in St Louis do not agree with MT Johnson Miss Caro- line Thummel, called his statements cratic, unreasonable, unbelievable. She said his assertion that the move ment is making women more inde- pendent was the only true part of his whole statement.
 That this independence will induce murder or crime in any form. she denied.
 Independence is coming through education, and education will help to improve morals" said Miss Thum- mel. The right of suffrage is no more than the right of self-govern- ment, and the right of self-govern- ment, and demand for this right is the result of education.
 Education certainly will not in- crease murder. The more independ- ent women become the higher will our education develop. The murder CTS training is not in learning the rights of man to man. It is only in the direction of hiding his crime
 Men now make laws entirely for themselves. It is the result of our false attitude toward the relation of the sexes. It is just as much harm to the male sex to permit free dom that is denied women as it is an injustice and injury to the wo- men.
 Tt is true that as the development of women's rights grows, women will understand more of the law and business and politics They will know better how to protect them selves, but with it they will be lifted above and not carried below the present standard of morals"
 Mrs. Usher declared women mur- derers often escaped conviction be- cause male juries were sympthetic.
 Women jurors will not be lenient with women any more than men are with men," she said.
 Women do not murder their hus- bands because of their knowledge of the law, and their rights as citizens. On the contrary, l believe this knowl- edge is decreasing such crimes.
 Statistics show that two-thirds more girls than boys are graduated every year from our high schools. They also show that in the penten- tiary and prisons of Missouri in one year there were 1,091 men and sev- enty-two women.
 Tt is the uneducated boys who commit crimes and fill the penitenti- aries-nOt the women."

ate prospect, they are always in semi-training that is to say, they put in spell of regular practice in the gymnasium, and, what is more, they put in intellectual practice, box ing among themselves and endeav- bring to improve not only their stam- ina. speed and hitting power. but also their knowledge of the finer parts of the game.
 Carpenter, Ledoux, Poesy. Legrand and others are all still young. and would also appear to be improving at steady rate. Looking around our English boxers, l can only see Jim DrisColl and Matt Wells whom l should say unhestatingly were better than the best they have at their respective weights It is true that they have no heavyweight at present of any particular note. but if, as seems certain. young Carpen- tier is destined to develop into one. well, they ought to be able to rest fairly satisfied that they will soon have the best white hope" in the world.
 It Is up to somebody who is at all interested in the sport, therefore. and is, in fact, up to every Briton with healthy red blood in his veins. to see that by some means or other, by every means in our power, in fact, that We should at once set about putting our house in order. The French are our very good friends. but We really cannot allow them to beat us right out at our own game all round Our boys have simply got to be improved, and to be improved very considerably. It has actually come to a matter of national importance.
 They must be taught, or must be made to learn for themselves, that they will have to go back to the only correct style. the true English style which was carried 10 Australia by Jem Mace, taught by him to Larry Foley. and then carried to America by Peter Jackson Fitzsimmons. Jem Hall Dan Creedon. Young Griffo and Billy Murphy Gall pupils of Foley or of Mace himselD, though it is as well to remember that Billy Edwards and Arthur Chambers, both English men born and trained. had previous l ly toured the states and had shown Americans the correct and only style
 There are still a few men in Eng land who can show cur rising gen eration how to box, and there are also not a few who can teach them how to train. But the aspirants must be convinced that the future rests chiefly with them and on their determination to succeed Those of us who cannot ourselves hope to personally represent our country have also a few duties by the way namely, to exert all our energies to provide the youngsters with all the tuition and facilities for practice within our powers.
 For, believe me, it will be sad day for Great Britain when the only role open to any of her sub. jects at worlds championship matches will be that of spectators.
