OH, PSHAW! YOU CAN'T
 KILL MEDITERRANEAN

SAN FRANCISCO, June 29. A '12-inch gun" is an awesome thing From afar it makes the earth trem. ble. At close range It has all the terrifying qualities of the horse in the Book of Job. There is nothing spiritual or dainty about a "12-incn gun It is a destroying monster. The mouth Is oblivion. Look into the faces of bristling battery of them and reason totters.
 A battery of such guns was ready for firing at the Presidio. The Coast Artillery was at practice, and the sound of the cannonading reached far out over the ocean. There had been a period of silence and now the battery was prepared again.
 A group of officers stood near the hospital tent waiting for the firing to begin. One of them noticed an elderly woman standing on an eln- bankmeht in range of one of tie guns. Stopping the preparations for shooting he sent an orderly in great haste to order the wOm.n away from the dangerous position
 Shortly after, when the signal was about to be given to let the srea. lnncn hn seen again sitting on the ground be- low the embankment, just under the mouth of the gun that was about to eject shell and deadly gases
 This time the officer ran toward the woman, shouting to attract her attention. She turned and looked at him placidly.
 What is the matter?" she asked Am I breaking the rules?"
 Madame, you are in danger of your life don't you see that gun pointing at you?" replied the off cer.
 The woman looked startled and prepared to move out of the danger zone.
 "Oh. didn't know" she said. My son-in-law told me that it was per fectly safe"
 The officers hardly know whether to consider this as a reflection upon the marksmenship of the Coast Ar tillery or whether son-in-law was up to his ancient tricks.

BIDS FIANCEE WATCH THEN KILLS HIMSELF

NEW YORK, June 29 Enrico Guido, twenty-two years old, fruit salesman, shot and killed himself in his room. A witness to the shoot ing was Miss Elsie Bogiski, pretty 1S-year-old girl, who, according to her statement to the police, was to have been married to him. Three letters, written a short time previ- ous to the shooting will be turned over to the coroner
 According to the girls statement she ran away from home in New Jersey with Guido and went to his boarding house. Guido. she said, had been Respondent of late over his long hours and the hard work attached to them. When she re- turned, he called her to him and told her to pack her clothing and go to her home, because he was go- ing to die. She said she tried to cheer him up and when she left

l latest Outside Sporting Dope

NEW YORK, July . Had it not been for the fact that Sheriff Hamburger is baseball fan. the long series of victories won for the Giants by Richard De Marquis. also known as Marquard. might have end ed at the Polo Grounds with the Boston game on last Saturday
 An execution against Marquard's property for s145, which was ob- tained by a theatrical newspaper for advertising Marquards theatrical act year ago. was handed in at the sheriffs office on Saturday morn ing with instructions that il be sery- ed that afternoon at the Polo grounds The execution was turn ed over to Deputies Winter and Metzger. and they found out by tele- phoning to the office of the New York club that Marquard would un- doubtedly pitch.
 The deputies knew Sheriff liar burgers enthusiasm and on the ad- to the sheriff they decided to call up Hamburger at Baltimore.
 You say Marquard is going to pitch today" the sheriff said over the phone. Then by all means do nothing to interfere with his sue cess in the game. It is your duty to obey the law. but l would suggest that that law would not be broken or even wrenched if you waited until the game was over to serve the ex' ecution. Be guided entirely by what you are told when you reach the Polo grounds
 The deputies then set out for the games. and when they reached the grounds they sought out Secretary Joseph D. O'Brien and explained that they had 10 put the execution in Marquard's hands before he left the grounds.
 1T you WdNl to take tlldIItt bi making Marquard lose his eigh' teenth game you can serve him be fore he goes to the pitchers box but if you have an ounce of local pride and patriotism behind your badges you will wait until the game is over"
 Metzger and Winter said that was what they thought of doing all the time. and so they waited and served Marquard at the clubhouse before he left the field Marquard was so pleased with the consideration they had shown that he gave Winter the ball with which he won the game for Winters 11-year-old son.
 Secretary O'Brien, of the Giants mailed a check to the sheriff's of flee yesterday. and thanked the sher if for the courtesy shown by hi. deputies.

chances of winning lay in sticking long enough to tire Johnson. but he spoiled his chance when he started to but Johnson with his head Time and again he would deliberately run at the dinge and butt him ir the mouth
 Johnson's face took on a worried look in the eighth round. It was plain 10 be seen from the ringside that he wondered why Referee Ed Smith did not put a stop to Flynn for using such foul tactics. But Smith honestly wanted to give the people a run for their money. He missed his chance to do himself justice when he did not stop the encounter before the New Mexico mounted police jumped into the ring.
 Regardless of what Hymns chances were. the fireman did wrong when he lost his head and started to fight foul. He was hopelessly outclassed as far as the fight went. He prob ably realized this as much as any body else. and lost his head - pass. ing from a boxer to a wild man whose only desire was to do bodily harm to the man before him. He was aggressive. just as he said he would be, but he reminded one of a tugboat going against a battleship
 Before the men entered the ring Flynn was the favorite of the crowd Ninty per cent of the people present wanted to see him win. but when he began to foul the sentiment seem. ed to turn in favor of Johnson. All of which goes to show that the American public likes 10 see fair play black or white. they wanted to see the best man win at Las Ne. gas - and they did not like to see Flynn use dirty methods.
 If Flynn had fought in a differ ent manner and had still lost the fight he would not have had all the abuse that Is now belnG heaped upon him.
 When Jack Curley undertook the task of matching Flynn and Johnson he proved to the world that he is a game sportsman. He worked un. tiringly for months in bringing about the match. He succeeded in this point. only to lose in the matter of gate receipts.
 Flynn was outclassed and defeated by Johnson. He had everything before him to gain and nothing tc lose, It was too bad he lost his temper. For, in my opinion, he can beat any white man in the world today,

 The American Olympic athletes, the liner Finland having been in the dock 36 hours, today became dissat- isfied and are demanding that the committee arrange quarters for them at hotel. The life on board ship has grown tiresome and the men say that they cannot do themselves justice in the games unless they are quartered on land for a rest.

By Hugh s. Fullerton.

Baseball Is an odd game. There is Rube Marquard, alias Richard la Marquis, wry-necked, knock-kneed left-handed young fellow who Is upsetting all the calculations on the National league race. This boy is very fair pitcher, with a fast ball that takes jump, a nice fast curve, and he has swept through the league until every owner who has cent invested weeps at the thought that the race will be over early in August, and after that it will be as dull as choosing a vice president
 New York gave sl1,OOO in paper money for Marquard. As Brush owned the Indianapolis club and nom. finally owns the New York club the figures don't count for much. And Dick of the wry neck and the royal name proved a pretty rotten pitch CT. He was like about three out of four pitchers that come into the big leagues. He had everything ex- cept the sense to use what he had.
 He was a better pitcher three years ago when everyone took a crack at him, than he is today. But McGraw grew stubborn He insist ed that Marquard ought to be a pitcher, and that he would make him one. Thereupon a lot of all leged wise managers who had pitch CTS with just as much promise, gulf awed loudly and sent their recruits back to the minor leagues, some with broken hearts, some with de- termination to come again. Mo Graw kept Marquard. He wasn't

CHICAGO, July 10. Gift Horse" Jimmie Lavender, the man who stopped Rube Marquard's world string of victories, was wished on the Chicago Cubs by the national commission. Like the famed O. Brien, he had no place to go." and the Cubs were finally forced to take him back, after an attempt to use him as the basis of a trade to get a man who is now back on tine bench for the Philies.
 Lavender is another "Georg.a Peach" He came from the state which Ty Cobb made famous, and right now, as far as the National league is concerned, he is as much of nine-day wonder as even the fair-haired batting marvel of the Americans.
 Lavender was pitching for Provi- dence last year when Murphy of the Cubs put in draft for him. At the same time, Murphy paid big price for Ward Miller Part was cash and part bunch of players who were to be given to Montreal, Mil ler's club. The cash was paid, and when Murphy got Lavender through the draft. he included him in the stable which was to go to Montreal.
 The Providence officials objected They insisted upon Murphy taking Lavender at the draft price, but re- fused to allow him to be used in a trade to a rival club. The Cubs did not want him as player, and Providence did not want him as an opponent. Montreal didn't care. The

NEW YORK, July s. = If Jacx Johnson means business and does not name impossible conditions, Al PalZer. the most formidable white heavyweight now before the public. will sign articles for a forty-fiYe round fight to be held on Labor day either at Las Vegas, N. M.. or JuareZ, Mexico. PalZer firmly be- lleVes that he can whip the big negro and that the sooner they clash in the ring, the better. The Iowa man arrived here from his home last night and promptly expressed his eagerness to fight Johnson on Labor day as suggested by he latter. Pal. ger is not much of a talker and does not believe in bluffing.
 If Johnson is willing to fight me on Labor day, I'll sign articles at once," he said T believe I am big and strong enough to beat hrl for know l can stop Flynn as quickly IS I stopped Kaufman and Bombar dierWells. All Johnson has to do is to name conditions. and if tne, are fair I'll accept. But if he talks about a $200,000 side bet he'll be wasting his time. I haven't got that much money and could not raise it if l tried, but l am willing to fight the big smoke, winner take all, if he so desires.'
 Tommy Ryan, former middleweight champion, promoted fight in the bull ring at Juarez July 4, and got away with it.
