 Tt seems that the Indians of Sib- boney still practice the games of their forefathers and one of their fa- vorite sports is throwing the javelin Coming home from a visit, Canella saw the young men of the tribe prac- ticing the spear throw. Laughingly he said: Tt is many years since I picking up 9 slender spear he hurled it with all his might--and something went snap! crack! in his upper arm so he let go the javelin. The arm, so long accustomed to throwing the baseball, gave way when he tried to throw the spear and never since has Canella been able to throw a ball from the pitching slab as far as the catcher. It was a shame, indeed, for Cinnamon Canella was the greatest pitcher, the finest batter and the fast est base runner that ever gazed upon.

CORBETT'S WEEKLY
 BOXING REVIEW
NEW YORK PROMOTERS PAY
 HIGH PRICE FOR BIC BOUTS

 Especial to,The Evening Farmer.>
 New York, Aug.f 24.-A champion ship carnival' for. Gotham this com Ing season if certain plans of leading promoters do notA miscarry. A regu- lar nstic festival with champions n all classes of professional pugilism participating. Now what dye think of that.
 Jack Johnson, the chameleon kid in so far as changing his mind is concerned, will be, starred in the big feature show. Jack decided he would not deprive the, sports of his presence for some. time to 7come. and has con- scented to exchange punches in ten round bout with Joe Jeannette, his persistent challenger. The McMahon Brothers. guiding spirits in the St Nicholas Athletic Club, has landed this prize, if it maygbe referred to as such.
 Not to be outdone tin the star per- dornance line, Manager Billy Gibson. of the Garden. trekkdd westward and boarding Ad Wolgast fand Packey Mo iFarland on their home grounds, clinched for his club. the long prom ised meeting between those celebrated opponents of lightweight pug1lism. September 25 is the date selected for the Johnson-J match and Ad and Packey will single two nights later.
 Johnny Kilbane has, likewise been persuaded to visit us some time next month when he'll give Johnny Dun dee the chance long hankered for. The day and date for this racket have not yet been assigned
 Even the very little fellows have not been slighted in arranging the plans for the boxing carnival. Johnny Coulon has promised to box here whenever. the promoters find him an opponent and come through with the sugar" Johnny is only a little fell low, but has big ideas when 1t comes to appraising his services. s. Kid Will Hams. the Baltimore whirlwind who has been trimming all the little fel- lows around here, may be the first to tackle the Chicago fighter. Williams is the coming bantam champion, so the wiseacres predict. He knocked out Young Solsberg recently, Some- thing Coulon could not accomplish. 5
 All of which added to the intense rivalry existing between the two big local clubs and the prospects that several new organizations will enter the field this Fall assure New York CTS an abundance of high class fistic entertainmen ent for some time to come. If it is found necessary the foreign fields will be invaded and the best talent imported.
 AS purely sporting proposition the McFarland-Wolgast mill is the class. The Johnson-J eannette fray may bring more money to the box office, but the sporting sentiment and feeling will be lacking. It matters very little to the white sports at large whether Johnson bests Jeannette or not Possibly those who would not feel vexed if John Arthur had his block knocked off are in the majority.
 Ad Wolgast will draw something like s22, 800 for boxing Packey Me F'arIand; also slice of the picture money. The Garden magnates had to come through liberally. Manager Gibson had dreams of losing prestige as Gotham's leading matchmaker, so

IN MAJOR LEAGUES

Clarke Griffith, who has seen every pitcher worth mentioning since the days when they began to throw 'enl overland, says that Walter Johnson knew. He says Walter has 1t on Ru- sfe's best efforts in speed and control. Try Cobb will celebrate the anniver- sary of his advent into major league baseball this month.

 Johnson is just getting into his stride. With display of renewed spunk, the Giants knocked the Pirates down twice and gained some lost ground in the pennant race. The Cubs were idle and the Giants will stand 5 games ahead.
 The Sena tors landed two in the Tig- CT fray, reducing the Red Sox's lead to eight games. Indications are good for en exciting catch-as- -can match later.
 A cloudburst and a small hurricane contributed to the Highlanders' defeat although Eddie Cicote, with his curves ought to be mentioned also.f

New Bags and Purses.

pected to be extremely popular this
spring and the Stops show many va.
rieties, both Ia shape and material. A
very popular shape is an unusually
fiat envelope with two long leather
straps. The bag is not large and is
almost square. It is of long grain
morocco in the brightest red. A fiat
envelope strap bag has a metal rim
For more sober taste there are charm
ing brown suede or seal bags and en-
velopes. A very fiat dull seal bag

Not for the Rlrd lovers.

Many of the feather fashions of this
season will be bitterly opposed by the
bird lovers, and there are happily
many women who have the courage OF
their convictions and who will ignore
the DEGREES of Nine. la Mode and
frankly show their preference for the
graceful floral aigrettes now being
made.
Flowers are suggested as substi-
tute for feathers that have been pro-
cured by cruelty, but it may not be
out of place to point out to the gentle
danes who wish to protect bird life
that 1t is at least equally their duty to
see that in the modes they are ready
to adopt they are not simply encour-
aging the sweatshop evil. Silken roses
and velvet pansies may entail as great
hardships as the aigrette or the os-
prey.

COLoRED FLOWERS or SILK
All Designs and coIors Of These Mil
Iinery Adornments Seem to
Have Found Favor.

On girdles and at the fastening OF
flchus and bodice drapery the silk
flower is almost ubiquitous. Large
roses, wound around hard cotton
padded centers. are made very sue
cessfully now. Others have their pet
ais cut out and bound with narrow
satin ribbon.
The double petal is sewed on the
wrong side, turned and stitched again
on the edge of the right and gathered
in at the base. Five or six of these
make lovely flower, clustered around
center Of yellow stamens, bought at
the millinery counter.
There are flowers that are made of
round petals and some of pointed and
oval petals. Pond lilies are enjoying
great favor; camellias and gardenias
are next; the rose is always in high
popularity.
On hats, a single handmade flower OF
large size will grace millinery. Clus-
ters of them will be used on lace and
linen caps for babies, and the little
straw bonnets for tiny tots will be
just as highly favored as ever.
What is prettier than a lingerie hat
with a colored flower Of silk?

FOUGHT HIS WAY TO FREEDOM


One Of the most unique captives
ever brought home to Rome by Julius
Caesar was Caractacus OF the early
Britons This great chief lost every
thing In fighting to drive out the
Romans and was taken prisoner with
his wife and children. When brought
before the Roman emperor the proud
ruler Of the primitive people never
showed the least fear. His arms were
chained, and the emperor roared to
try to brighten Caractacus, but the
brave chief never SO much as Quaked.
Instead he looked the monarch in the
eye and said:
You fight to gain the whole world
and to make everybody your slaves !
Fought to keep my own land and for
freedom"
The great courage the chief showed
finally touched the heart Of the em-
peror, and the ruler Of the Romans
resolved to see II Caractacus would be
rs brave when facing warriors. On
one Of the great holidays In Rome
Caractaous was taken to the great
open-air amphitheater where the popu-
lace gathered. He was told that If he
could defeat the bold knight that
would be sent against him he could go
back to his home. Caractacus fought
as he never had before; for some
thing sWeeter than his life was at
stake that of his wife and children.
Justice seemed to have tempered the
metal of his weapons, and when he
struck the strong armor of his antag-
onist gave way before his fearful
blows. The result was that Caractacus
and his family returned to Britain and
to happiness.

EVLOWERS are used in such profu-

ways, on all sorts Of shapes, that
they can hardly be unfashionably
placed. But certain new arrange
ments are popular and very effective
on the shapes for which they, are In

standing and compact branchings,
known by the matter-of-fact name Of
"stick-up," hold first place as good
sellers. They are used as finishing

covered with blossoms, clambering
over it in the most natural manner,
following its outlines exactly, but such
q crown is invariably finished with a

bon or feathers.
Roses, as always, lead all other
flowers in demand. The sweet pea
follows closely, the lilac and the violet
have great vogue, and large daisies
promise much prominence for midsum-
mer. But 1t is to be remembered that
all the flowers that grow (and some
that don't) are to be found among the
displays which make the millinery
shops places Of gay and inspiring
beauty.
Large picture hats for midsummer
