 ger in San Francisco.

LONDON. March 23.-Bombardier Wells. the British army heavyweight. his deferred his departure for America to engage in lucrative ring engage mcnts there. Wells was to have saile,l Saturday. but has postponed the sail ing day until May II. He will box Al Palzer. considered Americas best white hope" and the one to ultimately defeat Champion Jack Johnson. at San Francisco on Jul.' |.
 Wells booked his passage fortnight ago. but his supporters deemed it ad- visablc to delay his departure as ionG as possible They believed that if he had gone then he would have had to box in New York. They feared that he might meet defeat in the New York bout anu thus minimize his chances against Palzer. Wells will receive T substantial sum as his share of the fight with Palzer. The postponement of his departure was ready due to al turing music hall engagements.

AUTO MUSEUM WOULD
 FILL LONG FELT WANT
Early Machines Being Lost to Poster ity-France In Same Case
 Early Action Urged.

George M. Dickson. general mana ggr Of tile National Motor Vehicle company who is father to the move mcnt in this countr! to build an auto mobiic museum has received many mo- tices of approval Of his plan.
 Dickson. in his original suggestion. declared that if the history of loco motion is to be preserved for posterity that haste must be employed to rescue the pioneer cars and parts from oblivion
 An echo 10 Dickson's suggestion is heard in France where one writer Civarly shows the need of such a mus cum as follows:
 Napoleon L. notwithstanding all his glory and intelligence. travelled in ex- actlv the same way as Louis XIV. who travelled like Henry w, who went no faster. nor better than Julius Caesar, and who in turn lid not differ in this respect from Alexander. Tn our cOun- try ,hcrc is not a single complete his tory Of locomotion. And there is not single museum within the walls of which such history could be housed. We have not kept either the first ma chine on which man flew, nor the first motor car in which he role. But We have ali the snuff-boXcs belonging to Napoleon L. H. of Voltaire's walking sticks, We have two camp beds on which the emperor is sworn to hay" died at st Helena: we have 70 beds belonging to Marie Antonettc. GOO locks of hair having belonged to the Dauphin. Nose that I have no ob- jection to make toward these. But we should have by the side of these touch coming from those whose thought in telligcncc. and will power have given Us the comforts and the joys of our present life which none. I believe. will finI useless.
 Dickson declares that in many re spccts conditions are similar in both this country and France.

GOtch Started As a Boxer;
 One Fight Made Him Wrestler

My ambition was To be q prize fighter. along with other boys who have read the lives of champion box CTS" says Frank Gotch, the wrestler. While l was working hard on farm in Iowa l was dreaming of the time when l might be d renowned righicr, but didn't entertain that desire after certain happening up in Alaska.
 All during EIy youth | lahorcl at tasks that mIUe my muscles strong and my health sood. From mornlas tO a:ght out la the open air Sdre iIe the constitution that has saved me in good stead ever since Along with other lads of my age we used to box and take part in atheletic contests of one sort or another. And the old CT I grew the more l had that long ing to be a fighter.
 During the gold fever up in Alas ka the craze caught me too. and way back in 1899 I was mp in Dawson City. Yet even then. although the thirst for gold seemed tc have me the same as it had thousands of others. I still hankered for the roped ring and the padded gloves. Finally my chance came. There was a boxer of some note up there named Frank Slavin He was really q good fighter, not a champion. by any means, but one who had considerable experience and punch that would have done credit to the best of them
 "One fine day-hoW well I rcmem- Der it-they were looking for an op ponent to face Slavin. The news reached me and I jumped at the chance. At last I had an opportunity of engaging in d real bout. My dreams of a brilliant pugilistic career crys- talIized into concrete form. Already l saw myself known to fame as d rising young belt wearer. ] landed the battle all right and We met
 Although I'm d pretty big fellow myself I really believe I never saw a man who looked SD husky as Slavin did that night I've heard the story

THE CHiLO'S TOYS.

Cloaked under q pretense of mak- ing the children happy, our sins have been many. In the first place, we have been giving them too many toys and have made the recipients blase and unappreciative. One at time is enough. In our secret souls most of us have been conscious of that mistake. In the second place. in our desire to produce something new and wonderful at frequent in- tervals. something that would do us credit in the eyes of your young ad- mirers. We have been getting the wrong kinds. The imported me chanic1l toys upon which we have fallen with gusto and played happily ourselves until obliged to hand chem over are far peter for us, it seems. than for them. They do the work for the child instead of making him do it.
 Here we have in nutshell the main principle underlying the selec- ton of toys. The child's toys should stimulate his imagination and make him work. If he has too many he has nothing left to imagine; if they respond to the magic of key. ha can only stand by and watch Martha Cutler, in Harpers Bazaar.

of the second time Jim Jeffries fought Monroe out on the coast. Mon- Toe had held Jeff to standstill in a four-round exhibition some time be- fore up in d Montana town. and the miner really thought he had chance to beat Jcffries. Especially after Jeff had held off fighting him. The truth was that Jcffries' wife objected to his boxing any more. but the report was spread around that Jcffrics was afraid of Monroe. Well. when they finally met they had to hold a tow cl in front of Monroe's face when Jeff climbed into the ring, he looked so big and powerful Jeff. you know. stllllcd over. jcrlled the towel away and yankcd Monroe to his feet to shake his hand. I've been told that Monroe was beaten before the scrap really started.
 Tt wasn't that bad with me when II fought-if I can use that word with Slavin. For I really thought l could beat him. and was in fine training. l had another guess com ing.
 Two blows were struck during that memorbale fiSht-oncc when he hit me and once when l hit the floor. Never afterward did l have any over Whelming desire to be q fighter All remember is that ! got up when the bell rang. and. I believe. | squared off at him. He sort of smiled and then cut loose a ripping jolt that caught me flush l think I hit the mat almost as hard as he hit me. Well. anyway. took to the wrest- ling game after that.
 As far as wrestling goes. I had the good fortune to have Farmer Burns as @ teacher IT there ever has been IS crafty a wrestler as Burns on this earth I've not been informed He has taught me many of the best things I know about the game. Of course al fellow had to have strength and an average amount of brain work t. go along with it.

RING MASTERS

Ray Bronson and Ad Vol gast Candidates for In dianapolis Classic; Great List of Early Entries; Country Wide Interest

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind. March 25.- Apparently the other mans game looks easier than their own to two Of the most famous pusilists in thc United States. for Ray Bronson. claimant of the wclterweight cham pionship. and Ad Wolsast. the world : champion lightweight, nave come out simultaneously with the an- nouncement that they are intending to enter the automobile racing game as professionals Both are expert drivers at the present time. as both have machines of their own and have been infected with the speed mania for two or three years. AL though the two boxers belong in en- tircly different divisions in the pugil- istic game. they are planning to par ticipate in l sport in which weight requirements. aS far as men are con- ccrned. do not count
 The J. l. Case Thrcshing Machine company of Racine. Wisconsin. an nounces that Wolgast will be seen
 
 ing ears in Santa Monica early in May. and later will appear as relief driver to Harvey Herrick and Louis DisbroW. the two star pilots who are 10 drive Case cars in the second an nual 5G0-mile International Sweep stakes race to be held at the In- dianapols Motor Speedway next Memorial day.
 Bronson has made tentative ar worlds speed king. to act as relief driver on the Cutting car which Burman will pilot through the long Indianapolis race Bronson and Bur man are great friends and during recent speed trials which the famous driver made at the Speedway Bron- son acted as his mechanician and later took the wheel His driving against time was almost equal to that of Burman who complimented him highly and offered him d place as relief driver in the long race. Burman contemplatcs driving all but about fifty miles of the race and he is firm in the belief that the short relief period will entirely cure Bron- son of his desire to participate in further speed events. although he seems fearless in the prize ring
 The greatest list of early entries which ever have been made for any contest are to be found in the Speed way record of cars entered. The en- tries to date include two Stutz ears to be driven by Gil Anderson and Len ZengIe with Billy Knipper as relief driver: two National ears which will be driven by Howard Wilcox. Charley AIerz and Don Herr two Case cars with Louis DisbToW and Harvey Her rick as drivers, with Ad Wolsast as relief driver: two Mercedes cars with Ralph DePalma and Spencer Wishart up: Lexington to be driven by Harry Knight: a Fiat with Teddy Tctzlarf nominated as driver and d Simplex to be driven by Bert DinClcy. The others which are attracting at tcntion now arc Ralph Mulford in a Knox 'siX." and a Cutting with Bob Burman to drive and Bronson as re- lief driver
 Early reservations of seats and ho- tel accommodation in Indianapolis indicate that the crowd which will at tend this second race will be even greater than that which witnessed the first. when ninety thousand people passed through the gates.

TO HIS "UM PS."
(By l.. C. DavisD

Our poets praise the pitcher, yea. they laud him to the skies;
 They sing poetic paeans to the man who grabs the flies: They rave about the fellow who can give the ball a thump. But never twanS the Tyre in the praises of the "ump." They roast him to frazzlc when he makes d rotten guess;
 He gets the razzlc- dazzle from the public and the press. They never blame the batter when his hitting takes slump.
 But say he is the victim of blind and crooked 'ump." He's up against the cushion when the breaks are coming tough
 The fans are all against him when the player makes bluff
 To dodge tue empty bottles keeps him ever on the jump There are no roses scattered in the pathway of the
 ump"
 Now. for th" arbitrator we're not holding any brief; But he's strictly on the level to the best of our belief; He tries to dc his duty and he'd scOrn to turn H trick So prith"c do not roast him simply chidc him with brick
