natural first sacker and very fast

ness when with the American
league was his hitting. This he has
overcome, for he stung the ball for

Boxing should be az popular as
baseball and can be made so when
the men in the business work on

Honesty is a wonderful thing. 1t
is simple, yet SO many boxers OF
the present day get into the ring
and play tag and other such games.
Boxers Can Upift Game.
1t is up to the boxers to uplift
the game. It can be done just by
honesty When a boxer goes in
the ring, fights hard, gives the
people attending a fine perform
ance, and earns what he receives,
then that boxer is doing something
for the uplift OF the game. on the
other hand, if a boxer goes into the
ring and sidesteps and fails to mix
things, he is the one who hurts the
game.
Nothing is decided in the ten and
twelve-round bouts of the present
day. When a decision is given it is
usually awarded to the man who
has landed the most clean blows,
but this does not prove the true
ability of the boxer.
No championship should be
awarded in a bout Of short rounds.

the men who take part in this kind
of bouts should be barred from the

Fake Bouts Ruin Sport.
One or two Of these bouts can
ruin boxing in the biggest and
best cities. The public Will lose in

That is Anticipated doctrine, preached

Andrew Jackson, that William II.
Taft repudiates and Theodore Roose-
welt rejects. 1t means that the gov
eminent shall not lay taxes on one
citizen for the advantage OF another
citizen. 1t means that If one indi-
yidual is entitled to protection, all In
diyiduals have equal rights to enjoy
it.
But Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Roosevelt
both hold that it Is sound economy to
tax the consumers of the United
States in order that certain interests
may engage in enterprises that would
be improbable If the government did
not enforce the common people to
"protect" them. There is the real
