CROSS AND SMITH WILL
FURNISH "RIOT OF ACTION.y

What fight fans are pleased to call a
riot of action will take place Mon
day night at the Olympic A. c., 125th
street and Amsterdam avenue. New
York. The %purveyors Of the action will
be one of the best fighters that New
Jersey ever produced, Cy Smith, OF
Hoboken, and Phil Cross. Ever since
Cy Smith and Leach Cross fought at
the same club, when Cy had the New
York lightweight on the foor for the
count of nine, Smith has been wanting
a return match, and the only way he
could get a return match was to take
on Phil.

The question of reducing the number
of yards to he gained in four downs
or of increasing h number OF downs
to five comes up early for c~onsidera-
ton. The opinion was freely expressed
today that something must be done to
more nearly equalize the attack with
the defense, and at the same time in
sure greater continuity for offensive
plays.

night. Dick Green, the clever leader
of the home team, will probably be UNI
able to play for the remainder of the
season as a result of Injuries sustained

the victor by a 81 to 81 score. The
initial half ended 15 to 5 in favor OF
the G. Els. The "Ints'' were composed
of local junior players and displayed
! clever teamwork at times. Their elder
opponents proved a little too much
however.
The absence Of Dick Green will be a
loss to the Celluloids in the second
game of a series between that club
and the National Turner'S. which takes
place at the Down Neck court next
Thursday night.

Racing with a Tornado.

That was not a very spectacular
act which Engineer o'Brien did in
hating his train when he found he
could not outrun the tornado, but It
was nevertheless a feat OF cool
headed wisdom and judgment, in
which. surely. the element OF heroism
figures somewhere. Had the engi-
neer either exercised poorer judg-
ment or lost his head entirely and at
tempted, In spite of what conditions
forecasted. to fly through another

the tragic fact Is too many fail at Just

more serious consequences. 1t is

The approaching presidential pri-

Roosevelt scheduled to follow, Is
making things lively in the old Bay
state. In the presidents speeches
he has taken the offensive in defense
against the attacks made on him and
his administration by Mr.. Roosevelt,
giving first hand, and in incisive Ian
guage, the facts out OF which the
oolonel's antagonism has sprung, and
which form the basis OF his convic-
ton that he has not had a square
deal from his predecessor and present
competitor. Mr.. Taft is. as usual,
naive and frank, and more than usu-
ally forceful In his narration. His
appeal cannot fail to arouse those
who are not set against him, as It Is
also sure to arouse a renewed charge
by the colonel.
All this goes to accentuate Massa.

M coal str;ke

The threatened strike in the an
thracite mines has been ayerted. The
miners and employers have found o
better way OF adjusting their differ.
ences. This is welcome news to the
consumers Of coal all over this coun.
try and to the public generally: Bet.
ter than all, It is proof of progress
in the economy OF .industrialism. II
is an apparent blow TO the strike as
the solvent for labor disputes. II
suggests that reason and justice are
coming into larger play as the me.
dium OF negotiation and settlement.
During the great strike some years
ago George F. Beer was at the head
OF the anthracite mine owners, and
he is still at their head. He gained
the ill-will. not only of union men,
but of people Of various classes all
over the country BY a conduct re.
garded rs uniustifiably arrogant In
that former conflict. But Mr.. Baer
has displayed a very different attI.
tude In the late controversy. No
doubt he is entitled to much OF lie
credit for arriving at peaceful ad.
iustment. The point OF this is tina,
we are making progress; that men
who seven or eight years ago refused
to arbitrate. today occupy advanced
ground. It is such an attitude as this
both on the side OF labor and capital
that viii work out our industrial
problems and give more power to
both sides. intrenching them in the
good will and confidence OF the pub.

great cosmopolitan city. and in no d.
reetion more notieeably than on the
culture side, as has been strikingly
attested on numerous occasions. The
success OF the recent musical festival,
measured both by artistic standards
and by the exceptional interest, en-
thusiasm and attendance, must be
specially gratifying to all our music
lovers, as was the success Of the art
exhibit, to the rapidly growing num-
Der of art lovers among US. Deyo-
ton TO music. painting and the other
finer arts, flourishing study clubs
and appreciation of eminent lecturers
in science and letters are manifesto
tons OF culture being steadily en-
braced by a larger and larger proper
ton OF our community. and help to
attract people to Omaha as a desira-
BILE place to live.

While similar cities have doubled in
population in the last ten years, Omaha
has shown a gain OF only 22,0oo. There is
only one answer. II is our corrupt po-
lltical condition, which We are now seek
