SALT AIR SUNSHINE AND
 CLIMATE

The sisnifcane of climate as a factor in the treatmentof disease is generally conceded. Altitude, sunshine, salt air, ocean breezes and forest hills are expressions
 with which the practitioner now and then attempts to coniure his jaded patients. Not infrequent. ly the spell is effective, bringing with it renewal of vigor and re. storation of health. Gan obiec- tive causes for climatic influences
 be discovered? What are the reasons for the frequently ob- served beneficial effects of a voyage, or stay at the seaside? Professors Zuntz of Berlin and
 Durig of Viena-both we'll known
 European experts in physiology , who have devoted much energy to the study of the effects of high attitudes on have given some consideration to these questions. In the course of an ocean voyage from Ger many to the Canary Islands and return they made careful ob- servations on pulse-rate, body temperature, etc. Despite the invigorating nature of the trip, fundamental thesebodily features were not found altered in any detectable uniform degree. This corresponds with what has been observed in investigations at seaside resorts where the travel factor is excluded, but the atmos- pheric conditions are similar many ways, says The Journal of the American Medical Associa- tion. Neither such conditions, nor the tropics, nor yet polar climates effects any marked all iteration in these physiologic functions. In any event it has been impossible to demonstrate changes that might be consider ed indicative of a stimulating eff. fectof ocean climates. A similar outcome has attended the careful experimental investigation of the effect of sunlight. An abun- dance of direct sunlight. especial ly in some of the widely visited health resorts, has always claim ed due share of the credit as cribed to the invigorating clim- ate. We read of the days of balmy sunshine. Careful scien- tific observations have not dis closed any bodily changes due to this cause. Notwithstanding all of these negative findings, however, no one can deny the usefulness of change of climate, despite the obscurity surrounding the secret of it's influence on the individual.

FARMER BURNS SHOWS
 WESTERNERS NEW TRICKS
Veteran Wrestler Throws Husky 800
 Founder And Wins Big Wager.

Omoha, Dec. 27.-Farmer Burns, the "Sly Fox of the wrestling game, last week put one overF' onI a bunch of rural sports from Gresham, Nob., which left them hunting around to borrow money for railroad fare to their homes. The ruralists thought to initiate the farmer into a new game. But Burns taught the repre- sentatives of the Greshamites a few tricks, and defeated his opponent in just five seconds or actual work
 In and near Gresham there are a lot of German farmers. Their favorite sport is stick pulling" in which the two opponents Sit opposite each other on the floor, brace their feet against a board grasp a pick handle and see which can pull the other man over the board. The champion stick butler" up to the time he met Burns was Pete Ryestorf. Pete is 90 years old and weighs 3o2 pounds.
 Half a dozen of these German far mers came to South Omaha last week They got to bragging about the ability of Pete. Jack Haskell the baseball umpire, heard the boast It was a new game to Haskell, and he went over to ask about it.
 Pete can outpull any man in the state," boasted one German.
 ''Huh!" retorted Haskell. I've got a man down here who weighs 19o He'll pull your man all over the yard for a dollar
 ''Bet you a thousand he can't" said the Greshanite, pulling out a big roll of bills.
 An hour later Haskell was back with a "friend," and soon $2,000 was up on the result of the match.
 'Remember,' warned a big German your man must be 50 years old and not weigh more than 190 pounds
 Then they telegraphed for Pete Rye storf and Haskell went off to find old Farmer Burns.
 The match was held in the horse selling pavilion. At one side Nstood Pete, in all the magnitude of his 300
 tsWhere's your man?'' the Germans asked.
 Here he comes now said Jack, as stoop-shouldered old fellow came slowly forward.
 On the strength of the looks of the two men, the Greshamites increased their bets to $2,5Oo. which were cov-
 Then the two men took their places, their feet braced against a by 12 { board and each man holding on to the stick The referee shouted and the match was on. Pete was pulling hard. Burns gave no sign other than i that his arms were extended fully When you get ready to pull, just say so," Burns said in an ordinary tone of conservation: Pete's jaw dropped Burns than leaned back ward and pulled Pete over the board.
 Again the men grasped the stick and the referee started them. Pete made several quick yanks, but got no dis tance. Farmer was sitting steady and without winking an eye.
 ''Why don't you pull instead of sit- ting there doing nothing?" said Far mer
 | sfWhy don't you?'' gasped Pete. +'An right, I win,'' replied the old man.
 Then the Farmer bet forward, coiled his back like a watch spring and start ed backward Pete following, strain ing, gasping and sweating. Stead ] fly he came to a sitting position, then forward until he was over the board. l The match was over.

Chicago, Dec 27.-Manager Jimmy Callahan of the White Sox yesterday received a letter from Capt Harry Lord in which Harry described won derfui young slabman whom he dis covered in the wilds of Maine. Cal said that judging from Lords missive the kid is almost as good Big Ed Walsh and that he certainly will be given a trial next spring.

 -'I don't know anything about the man for publication" declared Gal sIf I mentioned the fellows name about fifteen other clubs would be af- ter him, so I'll keep mum

M'FkR.AND STALLING IN
 DEALING WITH JACK BRETON

The proposed match between Packey Mcfarland and Jack Britton lost of the latter's disappointing showing against Young Ahearn on Monday night. Britton demonstrated that as far as science goes he is by no means the equal of his rival from Chicago. But while Britton may be lacking in all round proficiency it is quite pos sib1e that his style is just the type to cause Mcfarland the most trouble.
 Britton does a lot of round arm swinging and those who were familiar with Ahearn's hashy jabbing were not surprised that he was able to land with comparative ease. Still Britton undoubtedly lost some, of his followers as a result of his showing. Appar- ently McF'arland's procrastinating methods instead of increasing interest in the proposed match are really hav- ing an opposite effect. From Chica- go Mcfarland is sending demands for more money before he signs; but if he holds off much longer he may have to accept less than he is already offered.
 There is small doubt that Mcfarland articles. After his bout with Eddie Murphy at Kenosha he received a se- were roasting from the sporting press of his home town. It was charged that the end of the bout and as a result the contest was very tame. McFar- land now says he is done with boxing around Chicago and will come to New York, where his work is appreciated. Judging from the reception Gibbons and McGoorty met with, Mcfarland is making another mistake if he be- lieves he can win applause without unduly extending himself.
 So far there has been little cause for complaint regarding Netherlands ear nestness while performing in New York rings. But in other cities he has more than once evoked the dis pleasure Of the spectators. Just as Attell used to do, Mcfarland has held as mulch DOSSibi0 3Dnar6nt1V afraid of becoming tired. But New Workers have always seen him at his best and he is right when he declares that he is more popular there than in any other city Tonight he is slat- ed to box eight rounds with Freddie Daniels at OTna ha Neh

coIeridae as a TaIker.

Coleridge was a marvellous talker. One morning when Hookham Frere also breakfasted with me Coleridge talked for three hours without inter mission about poetry and so admirably that I wish every word he uttered had been written down. But sometimes his harangues were quite unintelligfble not only to myself. but to others. Wordsworth and 1 called upon him one afternoon when he was in lodging off Pall Mall. He talked uninterruptedly for about two hours. during which Wordsworth listened to him with pro- found attention. every now and then nodding his head as if in assent. On quitting the lodging I said to Words worth: Well. for my part. I could not make head or tail of Coleridge's ora ton. Pray did you understand it?'

His Presentation Speech.

In Italy in the days when Queen Margherita was the lovely young bride of the then crown prince a little anec- dote of her reception in one of the hill towns was current alike in society and in the press. The little boy who was to present the usual bouquet was the son of a distinguished literary man. and he had been taught pretty poem of a few lines in graceful praise of the princess. But when the moment came to recite he stood mutely gazing at her too overcome to speak. After a mo- ment in order to relieve the situation the princess smiled and held out her hand for the flowers. The little fellow held back for moment. then. to the delight of the assembly. explained con fdentiaIly he gave the flowers to her:
 ''There were verses. but you are so beautiful can't remember them."

 PLAYED HERE SUNDAY

On Sunday there will be played at Sea Breeze Island the greatest game of Soccer football that has ever been seen in Bridgeport, or in, fact any where near here, when the Paterson True Blues of New Jersey meet the Bridgeport City team. The local boys just beat out the Holyoks team 8 goals to 1, and the Paterson aggrega- tion beat out the West Hudson team 4 goals to g. so that there is bound to be a, very keen contest from start to finish
 The local boys have started a gang of men to work over on the island today to clear the snow away from the field and stands, and to make things as comfortable as possible for the spectators, as they fully realize that people cannot stand in the snow even to watch so interesting a game
 Bridgeport's lineup will be: Goal, Ca1lis; backs, Throp and Montgomery halfbacks, Ainsworth, Cotton and Stamford; forwards, Barrows. Rose, Buterworth, F'y1des, Robinson. Re serves, POlhmann, Goodwin and But terworth- Kick off 2:30 sharp.

BECKER MAY GO

CARDINALS ONLY CLUB TO CLAIBI GIANT OUTFTELDER AT
 WAIVER PRICE.

Beals Becker, who did bench duty for the Giants for the last three years and formerly saw service with the Braves and Pirates, will appear in St. Louis Cardinal toggery next sea son. The St. Louis club is the only National League organization which cares to save Bea1s from the minors. Manager Higgins of the Hen Pecxs being the only leader who refused 10 waive on the Wichita youth.
 Becker probably would be more In demand if some other manager than McGraw had asked waivers on fhlm- The other managers figure out that # McGraw does not think a player fs good enough for his team, the player is not good enough for the National League. It is known that no mauag- CT in the country can get more out of mediocre talent than McGraaV can get
 However, Beals may make good if he should get another chance. He fs naturally fast, a welI-behaved player. and powerful batsman when in a batting humor If Becker could be kept going at top speed all the time he would be one of the best outheId- CTS in the game, but after playing regularly for several weeks he inVari- ably slumps. Becker had several chances to earn a regular berth with the Giants, and last year got into 125 games.

THE HEAVYWEIGHT WHO'S
 WHO.

Among the aspirants to the vacant heavyweight throne are Gunboat Smith, of California, and Frank Moran, of Pitts burgh. These two were match ed some time ago for a twenty round battle in San Francisco tonight. Unless Moran shows has in any of his preceding bat ties, he is hardly to be consid- cred. Smith, tho Lx-sailOr, may be considered to have q Ioolx-in at the title, if he defeats Moran. He has been putting away all the heavies he met in. the New York clubs recently. among them such good boxers as Jim Stewart and Jim Savage. These performances give him the right to some consideration as a championship possibility, but there are several things against him. In the first place, he is pounds; secondly, he is thought to have streak of yellow in his makeup, and on more than one occasion has quit when there was no apparent reason; and, thirdly, he has manifested that has made him unpopular with many fans. Against these deficiencies, ne is a good ring general, a fairly good boxer, and and when things are going his way can fight hard and put over 8 punch that would be the envy of a Missouri mule. But if Gun boat Smith lacks gameness, the same cannot be said of Carl Morris. The Oklahoman made his ring debut to the fanfare of trumpets. and when he failed to deliver the goods he was laugh however, the fans discovered that none of the horn-tooting had been done by Morris him. self, and that he is a modest fellow who never puts up any ulna- bone stuff after a defeat, but calmly admits that he was licked by a better man. Morris is entitled to fame as the boxer who has no excuses. Morris is a big chap, standing six feet four inches, and is only twenty five years old. Within the last few months he has been knock ing out every man he has met, and it may be that with more experience he will develop into the king of the heavyweights. nyway, he is game, and he
 never gives up. The word ssquit'' isn't in his vocabulary. He has learned a lot about box ing since Jim Flynn put him away, and he is an eager stu- dent and will doubtless learn a lot more. Yes, you may laugh. you may hoot. you may jeer, if you will, but Sapulpa Carp Morris is in the ring still.

Skilled Arehsrs.

In the days when buffalo ran in vast herds on the western plains there were Indians who, while riding at a gaIlOp. could send an arrow through a buRalO's body. Remarkable as this feat was. yet it did not equal that reached by the archers of ancient times. It is of rec ord that the MacRaes of Gairlock.

JIM THORPE GETS
 BIG RECEPTION IN
 HIS OKLAHOMA HCMc

A basketfull of clippings telling of the great reception Thorpe received re- gently when he arrived home at Pra- 'gue, Okla, are at hand. He is ming ling again with his tribesmen, hunting with them in the Sac and Fox and Creek Indian countries near central Oklahoma
 All the bucks are glad to get chance to accompany the great ath- lete on his hunting trips. They had picked out in advance the secret .pla ceS of the deer, wild turkeys and quail in order that Thorpe might have the best hunting that the former territor- ies now afford.
 Naturally the Indians are very proud of thesrecord made by their now illustrfous kinsman, but, like Thorpe, they are stoical and their pride in him is shown more in their actions than in words. When Thorpe arrived at Prague, the trading point for many of the Indians it was dark, and the first glimpse the toWnSpeople had of him was when he strolled down the street the next morn ing. When Thorpe left Prague for Carlisle he was just husky Indian boy. Since then he has achieved great fame-greater as an athlete than has been the tot of any other man since the world began.
 The Prague citizens were glad to get an invitation to hunt with Jimmy Thorpe. and had he but asked it, the whole town would have closed doors and accompanied him into the tifnb er-
 
 Canadian, Salt Creek and HiIlababa.
 The towns biggest banker, George Sutton, president of the First Nation al, and its biggest manufacturer, w. A. Anlbrister, secretary of the Union Cotton Seel Oil Company, accompanied him eastward forty-f1ve miles to Me Cawber to hunt for bigger game than quail, deer had been reported plen- tfful in that locality, where the hills abound and the forests seem intending
 And now, on top, of his fame, Thorpe may become famous also as an oil king, for the development of the Tiger Creek field to the southward, into the country where Jimmy Thorpe has an allotment of land, is bringing the at tention of the big oil companies of the world to that locality. Drilling is in progress now near Prague, Stroud, Pa den and McCawber. and leases have been taken on practically all the lands of the Sacs and Foxes. The Indians get a. royalty of 12 1-2 per cent. the same as given by the Interior De- pertinent leases on the lands Of the Five Civilized Tribes.
 Thorpe is trying to persuade his him to Carlisle. They have been through the common schools of the To- cality where they live, but Thorpe is a firm believer in Carlisle methods and he is very anxious that his brother and sister have the advantages of that school
