SPORTING
QUAKER BOXERS
TO FORM IUNION
CONDITIONS IN Pennsylvania
MAY LEAD TO UNUSUAL AC-
TIoN eY STARS OF
THE RING.

Philadelphia. Pa, July 12.-Owing TO
Pennsylvania lack OF commission,
boxing conditions in this state are in
a rather chaotic state, and oren to
criticism from All sides, but especially
from the lighters themselves. At pres
ent the boxing regulations are m the
hands of the police but they having
50 many other duties To attend to, are
unable 10 devote sufficient time to the
sport, and therefore. il goes along in
a haphazard way, much to its own in
jury.
The principal complaint comes from
the fighters. who claim that they are
not fairly dealt with by the manaGers
of the clubs. often they are promised
bouts and. after training for them and
going to the expense Of getting Them
selves fit, their engasements are called
off and substitutes put-in their place.
with neither an explanation nor re-
muneration being given.
Then. also, there IS no regulation
covering the prices to be paid the men
in the preliminary bouts, and it being
left entirely to the managers them
selves the pay is so small that many
are discouraged from entering the
ring.
OF bate there has been much talk Of
starting union devoted to profession
al boxers, in order that higher prices
might be obtained by the preliminary
men. Many reforms are needed, and
the best method of erecting them
seems to be the New \ ork plan with
a special commission regulating all the
affairs connected with boxing.

THRILLS AT THE PEOPLES.

The Peoples theater, this evening.
viii exhibit Il big feature picture in
two reels, entitled The Sewer" From
tbe beginning the entire story is sub
sidiary TO the action of the sewer
scenes, this being the feature OF the

done aud evidently at considerable eN .
pense. As to its realism and photos
raphy Il deserves all the good words
that can lac written about it. The only
faulty part lies in the fact of tho sew

can easily be forgiven. The story as
told by the pictures Is a long one, the
details of which We viii omit, but it IS
ahsorbingly interesting. The sewer
scenes are never offensive, but will De

CY YOUNG'S ESTIMATE
OF TY COB-GREATEST
OF ALL BALL PLAYERS

Ty cobb is the greatest of them all,
says Cy Young.
In my baseball experience. covering
almost a quarter of a century, ! have
never seen an all-round player the
equal Of the Detroit star
There may be other players almost
If not quite so fast as Cobb Laioie
has il on the Georgia Peach" for
straight-a-wa hitting; other outiield .
ers may throw trife better. but for
work. Jay in and day out, Cobb hasn't
an equal.
At bat he hasn't a weakness. 1t
has been my experience that you can
fool hi. possibly, one day, on a Ger
tain kline of bali and the next time
you face him he will whale the cover
eff the ball.
on the bases he is wonderful He
uses both his head and his feet and I
sometimes wonder If the former isn't
more responsible for his success than
the latter.
Cobb can size up baseball situa-
tion like a fash and the way he di-
vines plays is uncanny. ON the paths
he doesn't know the meaning Of the
word fear and this lack of timidity
helps him.
In the field, too, he is a wonder. He
uses splendid judgment i'm playing for
EATERS and his marvellous speed en-
ables him to retire batters on balls
that others would play safe.
Able To hit. To field. To throw, TO
run bases and 60 do each in phenom-
email fashion, coupled with his nerve
and confidence. Cobb is the greates'
player that ever wore n spiked shoe.

sas is better of without saloons. He
declared that over one-half of the
counties of the state have no poor
houses and that 30 out of l05 counties
sent no men to the penitentiary lass
wear More than one half the criminals
in the state penitentiary of Kansas
were sentenced before they had been in

that the president is more progressive

w. R. LEE FOR REPRESENTATIVE

William r. Lee, a pioneer and one of
the most widely known men in Garfield
county, this week announces his candi-
dacy for representative from this
county to the next session of the Colo
RADIO general assembly.
For several years Mr.. Lee, who s
owner of the Grand hotel and also II
fine ranch near Rife, has been kept
very busy with his own business af
fairs and while he has always taken
an active interest in politics he has
felt for the past few years that his
business interests would not allow him
to seek position at the hands of the
people that would require much of his
time
Having leased his hotel and ranch
and having plenty of time which he
can devote to the cause of the people
Mr.. Lee thinks this An opportune time
to get into the political game, and he
says he has a number of friends who
have for some time encouraged him in
his aspirations and have promised him
their loyal support for this important
position.

THERE is just now a great deal
said in the Denver and eastern papers
about grubsta king the farmer Every
little while some one wants to make
up purse to relieve the farmers in
eastern Colorado and then some one
else wants to start another subscrip
ton to buy seed for the farmers in the
wind swept and drought stricken plains
section. This is all very well in its
way, but it occurs to us that if these
papers that are lending their support to
this quasi philanthropic movement
would resort to their conscience little
more at the time the people are
settling on these plains quarter sections
and tell the people the truth about the
refusal of that country to yield liv
ing to the settlers excepting at rare

ABOUT THAT INFECTION

In connection with the so-called re
port presented to the council last Mon
day night we have been asked the
question, "When is report not re-
port7" We give it up and confess we
don't know.
We have heard great deal concern
ing this so-called examination, in
vestisation, inspection, or whatever 1T
may be called, and We have no com
plant against the young man who was
supposed to have rendered some sort
of service to his employer of the Ava
lanche and who afterwards, doubtless
at the suggestion OF the man who en-
ployed him, went through the formality
of making sort of report to the town
council, who did not employ him. 1t
is well understood by all that the young
man was not employed to make an IL
spection in reality and to those who do
not know this it will be apparent when
it is known that while he repeatedly
refused to accept the invitation of own
ers to go into garrets and cellars and
other places where he might have ac-
tually seen the wiring, he never once
forgot to count the lights and ask the
one important question, care you sat
isfied with the service you are get
ting?"
Thus it will be seen that the real
object was not the question of safety,
of perfect or defective wiring, but to
compile sort of log book, as it were,
which might be used by his boss to
further his personal and selfish ends.
But we shall not blame the young man
for this. He was doing the work for which
it is presumed that some one paid him,
or promised to pay. If he is subject to
criticism at all it is because, under the
Misrepresentation of his boss, aided
by his own silent acquiescence, he
should, under the questional assump-
tion of technical competency, consent
to pull the chestnuts out of the fire for
some one else.
No wonder that Trustee Howard only
moved that the report be received and
placed on file and less wonder yet that
he resented the suggestion of Mayor
Drach that it be referred to the fire
committee. The less said about such
work and such reports the better for
those directly concerned, but neverthe
less it is we'll that the people know
something Of the farce.
