were sent to preserve order The gov
ernor through his secretary, stated
that he would not allow the troops 10
remain in Lawrence much longer in
order to exploit conditions.
Samuel L. Lipsom, of the strike
committee, recalled to testify, said
that most of the employees in the mills
were unorganized when the strike be-
gan.
When did the trouble startr' he
was asked.
TT started the first day when the
police came down to drive the people
away from the mills"
What brought about the strike the
reduction in hours?
mo, we had had previous meetings
to plan how we could exist on what
we earned, but the reduction in hours
forced the strike"
Are you a citizen of the United
States7"
II had my first papers, but never
had money enough to take out second
ones. Instead of paying 81 for papers,
had to buy shoes for my little ones.'
Representative Hardwick of Geor-
gia. inquired the purpose of sending
children away from Lawrence.
Was it for their own good, or to
arouse sympathy throughout the coun-
try2" he asked.
1T was to care for them and to keep
them from the dangers of the strike
said Lipsom.
Did you try to send some to Phila-
delphia to take part in a mass meet
ing2"
1T was not mass meeting" said
Lipsom.
There was to be a parade from the
depot to where the children were 10

When we tried to get the children
to the train Lipsom continued. the
police pushed the women and children
with clubs.
WORSE THAN RUSSIANS.
They Jared worse than Russian
cossacks in times of revolution. Things
were so terrible that we decided to
appeal to our ambassadors at Wash
ington for protection. We decided to
find out IL Lawrence was in Massa
chusetts and If Massachusetts was in
the United States"
Then most of you are foreigners
and you decided to appeal to a foreign
government rather than to the United
States for protection?" asked Repre-
sentative Hardwick
If necessary. Conditions were aw-
full. The soldiers beat the children. I
have seen them knock down children
on the streets"
Mr.. HardwiclI asked Lipsom to give
names.
He said a Syrian boy had been
stabbed.
rs that boy here?"
Hes stabbed-stabbed to death. He
was running away when the soldiers
stabbed him"
HOW old was he ?"
He WAS sixteen to twenty years
old"
Then he wasn't a child?"
Well, he was pretty young to be
stabbed"
MIR. Hardwicll demanded all details
Of the stabhing. Lipsom later said
the soldier was exonerated.
Did you see that boy killed by the
soldier?"

TT is very evident that sporting
critics, unlike doctors, do not
hold consultations in refer
ence to the eases" that come un-
der their observation If they did,
no doubt there would be more
unanimity of opinion in respect to
the merits of contests and COM
petitions of various characters.
That sporting writer's should
view boxing matches and other
events from different standpoints
is as it should be- A wise head
once said '1t's difference of opinion
that makes horse races" and what
is true of the sport of the turf is
true of everything else in the sport

to arrange tests of skill. speed or
endurance There would be a total
lack of interest in everything re-
ating to competition. There would

There is one thing, however, that
a sport critic should beware of, and
that is insisting his view of con-

rect one He should qualify what
ever opinions he writes with the
remark, This may not be the right
analysis, but it's the way 1t looked
to me-" For no matter what re-
spect his opinion commands, he can
only exercise individual judgment.
Critics Differed on Big Fight.

Sporting Writers Nearly Always
Differ on Result Of Big Bouts

Johnson of Reno and the Johnson
of Las Vegas.
The writer takes his stand with
those who believe that Johnson
tires more readily and is a less
formidable plncher than he used
to be. I haze seen Johnson in
every contest If note he has figured
In, in this country, since he de-
feated Frank Childs at Los An
geles, nearly eleven years ago, and
am therefore in a fairly good posi-
ton to judge of his present fight

incidentally. Johnson is one of
the hardest men in the fighting
world to get line on. He is such
consummate ring general and
everything he does within the
ropes is done so artistically. that
1t is anything but easy to tell when
he is in trouble.
In the affair with Flynn he held
on and stalled around with a grin
on his face and with no particular
appearance of being furried, but he
was an exceedingly tired champion
OF the world just the same If he
had been the Johnson of other
fights. instead of looking hungry
eyed at Referee Smith when Flynn
began butting, he would have
broken his hold and punched Flynn

Different Views on Los Angeles.
The different views held in re-
gard to the Johnson Flynn match
were not a circumstance, however,
to the confusion of opinions that
existed at the Wolgast- Rivers
ringside 1t used to be said that a
man interested in boxing did not
have to attend a fight to gain an
idea of what appened-that he
could read all the accounts of the
affair and strike an average. Any
one who could follow this course
in the Los Angeles mill would have
to be possessed of highly analytical
mentality
Whether Wolgast struck his OPP
ponent foul or fair whether Rivers
downed Wolgast with a chin crack
or a smash in the pit, whether
Wolgast fell athwart Rivers knee
and whether Rivers was short
counted, are points that will be
argued for many day to come.

That's undisputed. But what

that some men are weak because of

BRITISH 0VERFED AT

LONDON, July 26.-Apologies and ex-
plantations of the British Olympic teams
failures are still providing abundant copy
for the London press.
The Evening News prints an interview
with F. w Parker chief advisory coach
of the British team. Parker said:
We have had to buy our experience
and there is no doubt we shall do better
in not sending too many men to the
games in the future, We shall do better
with fewer men, carefully selected and
only the very best men with real chances
taken.
The all-around men were trained care
fully, for we made it a rule that men run
ming on the following day must be in bed
by 1890, all others at II o'clock How
ever, our fellows did not exercise the same
self -denial as the Americans. They ate
too much. l should say that some of them
ate twice as much at Stockholm as they
would have eaten a home.
The Americans were trained TO the
hour You could see it when they were
on the track or strolling through the
streets of Stockholm. They were a team
of world heaters, and they looked 1t.
IF we are to do any good at Berlin in
1916 we must systematic our training and
the team be built up gradually. A few
months is not enough. 1t is the work of
years and of money. Don't forget this.
America had 1925, 600 to spend on her ath-
letes; we had $1,000 That was the diff
ference.
