Roosevelt and Wilson
 Lead In Poll of 88,OOO

NEW YORK, March ?. - If pri- vate polls tell anything, Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson are by long odds the most popular can dldates for presidential nominations in their respective parties. news paper poll which professes to have covered the entire country was made public today
 In the Republican column it shows Roosevelt a to 1 favorite over Taft, and Wilson with pretty nearly double the vote Cf the next most popular candidate, who is William J. Bryan, Harmon and Clark are close together, but each with less than one-half the vote of the New Jer- sey governor.
 The poll includes about SS,0OO and every state in the union is included
 Roosevelt Leads Field.
 Roosevelt secured 3O,454, Taft 15,- S96 in the Republican column; Will son the leading candidate in the Demo cratic group, had 10,S20 votes, Bry- an 5,S2O, Harmon 4,631, Clark 4,207, Underwood 2,O31.
 Taft has majority of the Repub- lican votes in seven states, Yer mont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York. South Carolina, New Mex ico and Idalo LaFollette leads in Wisconsin,; the balance of the states all give majorities for Roosevelt.
 In the Democratic poll, thirteen states declared Bryan their favorite, six Harmon, two Underwood and one Clark the balance are for Will son.
 The Bryan states are Maine, Mass achusetts, Rhode Island, Louisiana, Illinois, Minnesota, Kansas, Califor- mia, North Dakota, Iowa, Kansas, California, Utah, Idaho and Washing ton. Harmon was the first choice of New York, West Virginia, Arkan- sas, Ohio and Washington Under wood leads in Alabama and Mis- sissippi, and Clark in Missouri. The other states all declare for Wilson.
 Whole Nation Progressive.
 Taking the Roosevelt and LaFol- lette votes in the Republican column and Wilson and Bryan in the Demo- cratic, as progressives; and Taft, Republican, and Harmon, Clark and Underwood, Democrats, as conserva- tives, it would appear that the sen timent as indicated in this poll, is overwhelmingly progressive in every direction. Total progressive vote is 52,9S9; conservative, 27,665.
 In New England the vote stands Progressive 3.2O3; conservative, g. S14.

Municipal ownership of boxing shows. That's the scheme that is being advocated in Chicago now. And. what's more. there's a three to one chance that it will pass the next legislature. The best and most . influential patrons of athletics are behind the movement The success which the New York boxing law IS now enjoying is just making 1t sSible that similar laws will be adopted in many of the states of this grand union by the time the next legislatures meet.
 The Chicago scheme, however, is quite novel and differs in a measure from those being nursed by anxious promoters in other localities. For instance. it has both Mayor Harrison and Chief McWeeney behind it. The mayer in a public speech stated the other night that he was for boxing under such restrictions as i the men looking after the passage of the bill outlined to him. He be- lieves that the city will obtain per centage enough from the boxing shows 10 pay for the upkeep of play grounds fir the boys in all the schools and in congested neighbor. hoods. In other words the receipts which go to the city from these boxing shows are to be used for
 municipal playgrounds and gymna- siums for the juveniles"
 Others who are back of the move ment say there will be enough for the maintenance of a number of gynasiums. bathing beaches and other enterprises that will afford opportunities to the citizens of Chicago for physical development. It's not bad scheme and it will do more to turn the legislature in favor of the passage of the bill than any other method
 l also look for Missouri and Colo. rado to pass bills similar to this one and in that manner the sport will get a great foothold from one end of the country to the other. We must also look for opposition from the notoriety- reformers; that class that's always looking for publicity. But that can be over. come. Just point to the successful manner in which boxing bouts are being conducted in New York and then add the percentage given the state to be devoted to charity is greater than all other sources from which a fund of this kind is SUD- ported, combined

 SAN FRANCISCO, March 12. - James Coffroth, who promoted the fight between Abe Attell and liar lem Murphy. confirms the report that efforts were made to frame up" for Attell to win. While Coff- roth does not attempt to fix the res possibility, he admits that he heard the inside" story hours before the fight and took steps to protect the public.
 When Jim Buckley. Murphy's manager, came to town at 10 O clock Saturday morning to have Tommy weigh in," said he, T asked him whether there was anything crooked in connection with the fight and he told me that Attell had approached him several times to have Murphy lay down, but that he had turned down the proposition. T never spoke 10 Attell about the matter at all. waited at the arena to catch Jack Welsh, the ref cree, to post him on the matter. Welsh did not arrive until about ten minutes before the two boxers entered the ring.
 Il told him of what l had heard and he suggested that all bets be declared off. advised him net to do this, but to watch for a low blow early in the contest, and if in his Judgment the fight was being faked, to call off bets and declare it no contest
 T also told him that if the men stalled and Murphy laid back and allowed Attell to make a grandstand finish and that if in his opinion the contest was not on the level to use his own judgment and call it no contest"

"Anson to join the outlaws" This was the head line that greeted my eyes when picked up a Chicago paper this morning. It sort of stun | ned me for want to say right now that there's something pathetic about that move. "Anson with the outlaws" This old real rock of Gibraltar so far as loyalty to the National league is concerned has at last turned But too late now. He allowed the golden opportunity to slip away from him in 1890 when the brotherhood first made their battle. Had he been disloyal to Spalding and others then In control of the Chicago club-well, Anson today would probably now own one of the big major league clubs instead of casting his fortunes with an outlaw organization at this stage in life. It's the same old story in all great struggles that some one must make the sacrifice and if S'SA ohy Iho1l d SdCTltlCe 10 keep the National league from wreck ing on the rocks of the real first baseball revolution We ever had, that man was Adrian c. Anson.
 Oh, so richly does he deserve a pension from those interested in the game today! Yet he cannot even secure an appointment as um- pire nor will they, as so often ad. vocated by great sport writers, even create the office of "chief-of-um- pires" that the old man can accept at fair living salary. And that would be an office he could fill to the entire satisfaction of all con- cerned. If ever there was man upright and honest, fearless and bold it's that big farmer boy that left Marshalltown, Ia., to go to Rock ford. H., and play professional ball for A. c. Spalding.
 Referring to the Brotherhood strike. All the prominent players of
 
 both the National and the American association joined the movement. With the exception of Anson. The latter thought he owed it as a duty to Spald'ng and the Chicago club to wave aside whatever personal advantages might come to him by making the change and striking with unheard of loyalty in the face of the most tempting financial inducements to the organization that right now won't even help him make a living. He is forced now to join in oppos- ition to the league he saved. But like many others in life, Anson allowed Old Doctor Opportunity to go his way when he stopped and knocked at the door in 1890. That would have been the time to have made the move and not now.
 At that time baseball did not pre-. sent the formidable front of today and the game was not nearly SO well organized against threatened opposition. The magnares have all made a great deal of money since then and the fund to fight all op- position that might make itself felt is so strong that only one of the

RlNGSlDE, DAILY CITY, Cal. March 9.-It was the nineteenth and twentieth rounds that won for Tom my Murphy. Prior to that time there was not much to choose between the New York lightweight and the exfeatherweight champion. Murphy was the more persistent ot the two all through the contest. Whenever Attell cut loose with might and main he evened the score. Abe simply gave flashes of his old time form. In some of the rounds he tucked in way that bewildered Murphy and brought cheers from the crowd.
 Very often when pressed 10 tho ropes he allowed his arms to drop and he rolled his head from side to side as Murphy punched him. On all these occasions he was more tired than hurt, and when he had rested long enough he cut loose in waspish fashion and fought Mur. phy all over the ring.
 Attell showed a falling away in every department of ringmanship. His blows, although well placed and numerous, were very light. He was easily cornered and in the close fighting he had no defense to speak Of. He tried to beat Murphy back with body punches and although his cleverness enabled him to swing his left into Murphy's short ribs as often as he liked, the blow was absolutely devoid of force.
 In the two concluding rounds Attell was dog tired and probably weak from the loss of blood. Mur. phy hammered him at will and Abe simply stalled like the clever ring. man that he is and tried to make 1t appear that he was as busy as the other man. Until the eighteenth round started Attells friends were hopeful that Abe would get a draw. When the fight ended there was none rash enough to proclaim that Mur. phy had not earned the decision awarded him by Referee Welsh.

Price of a
Dinner
By G. a. Dennen

Once upon a time there was a girl
She was a very pretty girl Some
people might think that had nothing
to do with the case, but | assure you
1t has a great deal to do with this
case-and most cases.
This particular pretty girl was on
her way home for a vacation from the
college where she spent papa's money
and learned a good many things more
or less good for her.
1t was vacation time and the pretty
girl was in vacation humOr. So, be
ing a daughter of Eve, she betoOk her
self gaily to the stores where the
pretty things are and began to pur-

But first, because she was a wise
young woman and knew some things

Lost in the mazes of a great de-

or two of entirely feminine ecstasy.
First there was a hat. Anybody,
even a novice. could see how much
prettier that very pretty girl looked
in that hat. So it was bought and
placed on her head.
Then there was a long coat. The
hat and the artistic unities seemed to
require that coat. Besides, it was a
real bargain" So the coat was
bought and put on with the hat.
Then there were some lovely long
gloves, they We're very delicate in
color and they matched the coat. So
the gloves were bought and put on.
Then, indeed, the very pretty girl
was quite irresistible She pinned a
large bunch of violets on the new
coat, smiled at her reflection in the
long mirror, and called for the sum

The sum total was presented, and
the very pretty girls smile faded and
grew rather sickly. Her mouth pursed
itself in a round O-but she paid 1t
without a murmur and stood thought
fully regarding her remaining quar-
ter.
Then it so happened that second
look in the mirror restored her Sc

NATURAL FOR THEM TO SING
American Negroes Have the lnstines
of Harmony Almost as the
Birds Have Il.

The American negroes are natural
singers. Nature has placed" their
voices and given them a genius for
improvising the alto, tenor and bass
parts of their songs with emotional
richness and perfect harmony. The
American negroes, writes a contribu-
tor to the Craftsman, have what has

ginia, a chorus of 800 negro students

faultless pitch throughout an evening,
chanting in the untaught harmonies
peculiar to the negro the old plan
tation songs of the past generation.
Once, when I visited Hampton, a
musician from Europe was present.
He asked me who trained the chorus.
Nobody trains the negroes" I said.
"Their singing is natural"
81 don't mean who trains their
voices or teaches them tone-produc'
tion," he said. 81 mean who teaches
them their parts and trains them to
sing together?"
