PRESIDENT TAFT AND THE OUT.
LOOK

The Outlook's complaint against |
President Taft that on questions of hui
man rights the country has not felt
his leadership is scarcely just. Presi- F.,
dent Taft came into Office at the close
of seven years Of agitation on all the
subjects which the Outlook brings up,
He conceived his duty to be to reap
for the people the fruits of the en-
deavors of his predecessor. He has
done that with persistence and insist
ence.
On conservation Of public resources
he has declared that the time had
come for less talk and more action.
He has demanded of Congress laws
that would realize the hopes of the
country in that direction. On the con-
servation of human life he has de-
manded laws that would protect work
ingmen and compensate them for &C
cidents regardless of the ancient rule
of contributory negligence seen to be
obsolete in an age of power machin-
cry. He has realized this hope in
part in law which has just been in
dorsed by the highest court.
He found the Sherman law on the
statute books. He believed it to be an
act necessary to the preservation Of
competition. He has enforced it in
that spirit This kind of enforce
ment, if the President is right in his
theory of the law, shows that he is
keenly alive to one of the biggest
questions of human rights that has
ever arisen in this country.
He has proposed universal arbitra-
ton land has put his proposition in
such shape that two of the greatest
nations in the world have accepted it,
This is a marvellous proof not only of
the humanity of the President, but of
his conservative powers. Thousands
have dreamed Of world without
wars. Mr. Taft has actually brought
two great nations to agree to his
views. Here he has touched one Of
those human questions that reach
down to the very foundations of soci-
ETY..
those in which Mr.. Taft has shown a
sensitiveness to human rights. It is
true he has approached them as a
judge, whose training excludes rheto-
ric and who courses through pure rea.
son to sure conclusions. He thus has
sacrificed a good deal of the glow OF
enthusiasm.
Here again he has followed to his
own personal disadvantage the
thought with which he came into the
presidency, the thought Of gathering
and saving to the people the harvees
of generous agitation.
The Outlook may be right in esti
mating that the President has forfeit
ed political strength BY 1asFskk Of quick
spectacular decisions. But sure AM
dependable decisions will read as well
it not better, in history than the quic1
kind. If he has lost the ear of tn
people, it is not because ofSlack Q
interest in their welfare, but becaus
he did not speak in the vernacula
which was for the moment popular

AVERAGE BALL PLAYER STICKS TO GAME FOR
 LOVE AND NOT MONEY

Does the average ball player" quer- les the average fan. stick to the game because he loves 1t or for noth-
 Money, with the ball player, as with any other souI-inserted b'ped, speaks an eloquent language. But the coin isn't a of it. This, for illnustration. from Manager WoIverton, of the New York Americans:
 'tAt the end of each season aI- ways hope that I'll never see another ball game again. This feeling moves along and sticks for about five weeks. Then I begin to get restless. By De cember I begin to count the days, and by January start in looking up time tables. By February feel that each day is a year until I hear the first crack Of ball against bat
 rIts the old call Of the game, guess. There has been many a play CT who was on the level with his an nouncement that he was through, only to have all resolutions broken when spring began to drift hack and he began missing somethi = that had been a big part of his .ife-the cheer ing, the knocking and all the big smash and excitement of a. clean, hard game, which pulls him for a long time after he is through and out of it. It takes brave man to quit at the right time-to quit in October and back in March and the hurich arrives to grab a ball and rnitt and begin warming up. Dave Fs1ltz did it. So did Fielder Jones and Overall, but there are not many when you run through the list"

Mike Murphy In
 Serious Condition
PENN COACH CONFINED TO BED AND CAN'T DIRECT
 TRACK ATHLETES.

Philadelphia, Jan. 17.-The condi- ton of Mike Murphy. the veteran trainer of the University of Penusyl~ vania, has taken a turn for the worse and it is a grave question if he ever will be able to take an active part in athletic training again. It is cer- tainty that he will not be able to train the track team of the Univer- sity of Pennsylvania, and 1t is doubt ful if he will be able to accompany the Olympic team to Stockholm.
 Murphy returned from Brown Mills, N. J., several days ago against the advice of his physicians and sl- most immediately he had to take to his bed. He is still confined to bed and even his closest friends are de- nied adTnfttance to see him. Dr, ROb@ ert Torrey, the old Pennsylvania foot ball player, Is in almost constant at tendance on Murphy.
 The Knowledge of how ii Murphy really is came out yesterday when 22 varsity and freshmen candidates for the university relay team and mile handicap race reported at the track room. With their opening match less than a month away they, had expect ed to be greeted by Murphy, but in stead were met by an assistant
 The serious condition of Murphy has been denied at the university, but it now ig4 acknowledged that his lungs are far from being in a healthy con ditfon following a cold he contracted during the Michigan football game last fall.

(By Waener.)

Young Cohen wished he were back in Threadneedle street in "old Lun- non" about Il o'clock last night. The featherweight champion of England had just passed through a trying ex- perience with Young Bosse, who isn't champion of anything, and he thought the roof at Eagles hall had fallen in. After being the under dog for sev eral rounds. Bosse suddenly rocked Cohen on the jaw in the tenth and the Briton went to the mat. He was ing like auctioneerS for Bosse to put over the good night swat. But Cohen tackled the local boy about the knees round Most of those at the ring side thought BosseI entitled to a draw.
 There was no doubt that Cohen rounds. All his old time c1everness and fast footwork were there. Jump ing around like a festive kangaroo he would peck at Bosse with his left. jab would go right through Bosses guard and land on his classic fea- lures. On several occasions Cohen threw in the speed clutch and un- loaded three or four jabs in suc- ceSsion on the local boys map. This work pleased the crowd and was the signal for applause.
 This tapping did not hurt Bosse, however. It cut him a little but he kept boring in and frequently swung in a hard left that tarred the visitor. In the first round Bosse startled the folks by closing in on the English man and flooring him. The trouble was that Cohen held Bosse too cheap ly. He figured that he could Outbox Bosse and show him up. But when it came right down to cases Cohen had the cIeVerness and Bosse had the punch. And the punch is the most desirable thing to, take into the ring with you.
 In the semi-final Dodo Mahar of New Haven had a shade on Al Ketchell. Mahar seemed to have Ketchelfs goat number. Not that he made a show of the local boy. IL Appeared. to, be nervous about mixing things. Mahar is an awkward fight

AMERICANS WILL NUT
 VISIT AUSTRALIA ID
 CONTEST TENNIS TITLE

New York, Jan. 17.-UnlesS the Australian tennis players accept an invitation to come to this country next summer and defend the Davis cup on American courts United States players are likely to cease being contenGers for the international tennis trophy. This is the sentiment of the leading tennis officia s throughout the United States, according to Harry Waldner, Association, who believes that official action along this line will be taken by the United States Lawn Tennis As sociation at its annual meeting, which Is to be held in this city on Febru- ary 3.
 "Our team is playing under handi- cap when 1t plays the Australians in December or January" Secretary Waldner said few days ago whi discussing the situation. Ut is not nat uraI for Americans to play their best game in n1d-wfnter. They develop themselves for the National tou-na- ment and reach their top form in July and August. Under the existing con ditions of play for the Davis cup they are forced to lay off for three months, then to take long ocean voyage, and after a fey days preparation to op- pose players who are in the best of condition.
 "The American team has travelled to the AntipodeS three times to win back the trophy, and 1t is now about time that the Australians pay us visit. tionaI association will extend to them such an invitation, and I hope that they accept, for if they do not fear it will mean that the Americans will not challenge for the cup again as long as the Australians hold it.''

BOsse Almost Puts Cohen Away and DOdo
 Mahar Has Shade on Al KetCheIF

 with Hahar's. The local boy. is a bundle of energy. He steps lightly about the ring, feinting and sparring. He is the exponent of hit and get away. Mahar is built more for ser vice than speed. Standing solidly on his sturdy legs he twists his features into a horrible grimace and wades in.
 In the first round Mahar swung on the Yankee BOy'' and sent Ketch ell down. The local boy wasn't hurt but eight After that he appeared to be wary of his opponent. In the second Ketche1 again was sent to the car pet and the gore began to flow from pear to be bothered by KetchelPs blows and although the New Haven boy had a cut under his eye he was age throughout the fight than Ketch- ell did. It was another instance where Mahar had the wallop and Ketche1l didn't.
 In the premilinary Eddie Kelly put 1t all over Young O'Gara. The boys met once before and on that occasion O'Gara earned a draw but he didn't earn anything except a blue eye last night. Kelly is hard hitter and al- though he missed many blows he nevertheless landed enough to cut O'Gara to ribbons. The honors went to Kelly by big margin but 0'Gara deserves credit for his gameness in taking so much punishment.
 The bouts were held under the auspices of the National A. c. and drew the biggest house of the season at Eagles hall. It is estimated that about 1,5O0 were in attendance. There was no disorder and everybody ap- peared to he satisfied with the even- ing's entertainment.

Alexander Holds
 Out For Big Money
PHILIISS' STAR TWIRLER WANTS SB,OO0 AND PASKERT AND LUDERUS ARE ALSO
 | HOLDOUTS.

Philadelphia, Jan. 17-An&ious to secure the signed contracts of pair of his players who have been attack ed by holdout fever. President Horace s. Fqgel has gone West to bring them into the fold. The two chaps whom he wishes to corral before he gets back are Dode Paskert and Grover Cleveland A A-exander
 Iuderus, star first baseman, also is holdout. It is more than possible that Fogel will meet Dode in Cleve- land today and have a heart=to-hea,t talk with him. Packert wants a ht- tie more money, and the PhilIies feel that they have offered him all that is necessary at the present time. It is possible, however, for a compromise agreement to be reached.
 There should be no difficulty in signing Alexander. He has already notified Dooin that. he is ready to sign, but he wants Charlie to tell him what to do in the controversy which arose between the twirling sensation of 1911 and the Phillies..
 In order to get hold of Alexander at place where he can talk with him, Fogel is likely to go to St. Paul, Neb. It is understood that Alexander's orig inal demands on the club were for a salary which was around the $6. 900 mark, a. large boost over the money which he received for his first year in major league circles

Outlaws Make Bid
 For Toronto Player
OFFER PITCHER DICK RUDOLPH BIG SALARY TO JOIN UNITED
 STATES LEAGUE.

That the new United States League is out to corral major minor league stars was shown yesterday, when persons connected with that or ganization made a f1attering offer to Dick Rudolph, the star pitcher of the Toronto team of the International League, who was with the Giants early last season. Rudolph was ap- preached by a representative of the league, who offered to him a three year contract at double the salary he receives from Toronto. Rudolph was told that if he accepts the United States Leagues offer the salary for the three years will be placed in bank in his name.
 The United States Leaguer who made this offer refused to give his name to Rudolph. but said he meant business. He would not say to which club Rudolph would be assigned, as the, plans of the organization are not complete. Rudolph did not sign the contract, but asked for a week in which to consider the proposition.
 It became known yesterday that the eighth franchise in the United States will probably be awarded to CleVe, and, making the full circuit New York, Brooklyn, Richmond. Washingtpn. Pleading. Pittsburgh, Cincinnati and Cleveland.

DevIin Hopes To
 Stay In Big Show
Giants Third BaSeman Doesn't Think McGraw Will Let z
 Him Get Away
New York Globel


 Among those present in our snow bound municipality is one Arthur Dew lin, a we -l-known exponent of the art of infie1ding. While MT. Devlin is a highly polished piece of third base furniture he is no shine, and wild win- try rurnorS disturb him not. He is still a favorite in Harlem society, and expects to remain so indefinitely.
 'I am here,'' said MT. DeVlin yes terday, ito keep eases on myself, l certainly am doing some trayelng ov- ST the circuit. After coming home from Cuba I spent the holidays in Washington Upon reading that was to be transferred to Baltimore I went there. but could find no trace of my self. I next heard of my whereabouts in Boston, but before could run down that clue bobbed up in Cincinnati. So I gave up the chase and came to New York. Here found a man who convinced me that I would stick with the Giants. His name is Arthur Dev- lin."
 The ubiquitous Devlin is rather sor- ry that he cannot fill all the engage ments booked for him in the newspa- pers. 'I could make a lot of money next season." he says, ''if I could hold down all those jobs.''
 Arthur, being a thrifty person, has gathered unto himself a large gob of the green stuff. He Is one of the few players who really could retire and never be compelled to work for a liv ing. But he has no intention of quit ting. He is sti-l under thirty and Is sound physically, even if he is not quite as fast as he once was. Devlin is not positive about retain ing his berth with the Giants, but is willing to gamble that he pastimes in the National League next year. There are several clubs that would refuse to pass. him up if waivers should be ask ed, but Manager McGraw has taken no such action While McGraw has large co lection of classy young i'm fielders on his reserve list he isn't going to do anything rash.
