have the ability, but is full of malaria,
and has not the strength.to display his
skill. H.. ..... E..
Several of the left handlers secured
this season have shown themselves TO
be twirlers of class: Eppa Rixey of
the PhiIlies seems to be the most SEN
Sd tional and is regarded asa find He
has shown to excellent advantage
"since.he joined the Philadelphia team.
Robinson of Pitts burg is another
youngster to improve and he bids fair
to be winner next season, as do Ben
ton of Cincinnati, sAllen of Brooklyn
and Tyler of Boston. Tyler did not
seem to do as well this season as last,
tut he is a wonderful twirler, and with
a team like Chicago or New York
would rank as one of the best. Fred
Clark thinks he has unearthed another
ct'mer in Warner, while Roger Bresna-
han looks to Willis to help the Cardi-
mails considerably next season.
RUDE Marquard undoubtedly is the
king of the left handlers and remark
able pitcher. His work this season
clearly demonstrates that fact. Nap
Rucker of the Trolley Dodgers prob
ably would be greater finger if lie
were connected with a first diyi. ion
ball team. Sallee went along in fine
shape this season as long as he behav-
ed himself, pitched consistent ball and
kept the Cardinals from being down at
the bottom with Boston. ..-..
Wiltse of the New York Giants and
Ieifield of the Cubs seem to be on tie.

DOORS OF DISEASES.

That many diseases have odors
characteristic of them, and by which
alone they can be distinguished from
each other, is the claim of an Indian
apolis physician, says the News of

to physicians in their work for this
reason, and urges the full develop

JIM JEFFRIUS. 37 TO-DAY,
 IN OLD AGE IS GETTING GAY

sWell," remarked the Old Sport, T
 don't see any flags Haunting in the
 breezes today. Why should they?
 Why, this Is Jeffries' birthday, the
 natal day of Americas Grand Old
 Man, and Jim says he is coming back
 and is going to chase all the black
 fellows to the tall timbers. Johnson.
 Langford. Mcvey, Jeanette-they all
 look alike to the old bear-cat of the
 City of Angels. Wow! As the feller
 says, Tt is to laff.' Jim says. ac-
 cording to what has been percolating
 over the wires, that he is going to
 muss up all the white hopes before
 tackling the black fellows. Whats
 more, even if he is thirty-seven years
 old today, and consequently vener-
 able patriarch from pugilist1c view
 point, don't doubt that Jim could
 those white hopes mingled in New
 York ring. and made such silly jack uses of themselves that the bugs nearly laughed themselves to death. After the obsequies. Dick Croker, the
 old boss of Tammany Hall, who was
 cite and asked the cullud man if he would be willing to fight either of the instead-of- a-fighters. Joe's lamps glistened with anticipation, for he isn't kept any too busy these days, and he says, eagerly, Yes, suh.' And R you ought to be ashamed of yourself : Joe cogitated over that a bit, and then, opening his mouth back to his ears, gurgled. flaw. haw, haw.'
 s-But the big four blacks-they are something else again. Personally, I some reporter is working his imag ination on a day and night shift. These remarks, however, are not to be considered as any reflection on the Jim Jeffries of the past. but are merely to be construed as dealing human ambitions, and touching on and appertaining to the fact that every dog has his day., and then it's the bologna for hfsn't.
 "Jim was born at Carroll, Ohio, April 15. 1875. and not in California,
 as some unbelievably ignorant and uncultured persons have alleged. His father was a parson, one of those old-time sky pilots who travelled horseback from country schoolhouse to rural church and rube village, cal1- ing upon the sinners of those com
 munities to repent of their evil ways. All honor to him and all his kind, for the way those country folks carry on with their ice cream sociables, | kissing parties and similar wild or gies is a shame. The open-air life of a circuit riders son gave Jim a big stock of stamina and health as capital for his pugilistic career, but those qualities don't last always, and especially when one is the proprietor of an Irrigation project in as arid town as Los Angeles. So far as the white hopes are concerned, Jim can meet 'em and be as safe as in a church But if Jim ever lets a tall, dark man cross his path again, he
 hasn't the hoss sense a man ought to
 accumulate in thirty-seven years of living"

CHALLENGE TO
 RAT|0NAL|STS MaterialiSts and Socialists Also Invited to Public DisputatiOn at Jesuit College in
 Woodstock

Woodstock, Md. April 15-Any vot- ary of rationalism, materialsism, so- cialism Or similar theories who choos- es to go April IF to Woodstock Col lege, the house of higher studies of the Jesuit priesthood of the Catho- lie church, will have an opportunity to defend his views in a public discus sion of theology and philosophy against two young Jesuits, the Rev. James A. Cahill of New York city, formerly a professor in Fordham Un- iversity, and the Rev. Charles G. R. Herzog, of Philadelphia.
 The occasion will be a notable one, ,as more than one hundred and fifty Jesuits and the presidents of several universities, colleges and seminaries have announced their purpose to at- tend.
 The meeting is a revival of the pub- lie disputations held in the middle ages, in which there frequently took part men of attainment and fame.
 Each defendant will be allowed two hours to uphold his position.
 Although at the disputation any of the audience will be free to present difficulties against any thesis under discussion seven members of the fac- ulties of theology and philosophy in Catholic seminarieS and universities will be present by express invitation to propose and urge the main objec- tions against the propositions which they think fit to challenge.

 The West End Civic Club will begin its work of improvement by a vfgor- ous effort to get a bridge across the tracks of the Consolidated railroad near the Baird Machine Company s plant. Application will be made to the Public Utilities Commission inn mediately. A committee has been se- lected to consult Commissioner Ford in Bridgeport. The club has the greatest confidence in the commits sioner and believes that 1t can depend upon his we'll known fairness to help along the project. The club will ask for a full width highway bridge built in a substantial manner to serve the public permanently. The demand for this crossing is so evident and has been the cause of so much comment that everyone understands the situa- ton. Should this purpose be accom- plished it alone will amply repay the club for it's efforts, but the club doesn't mean to stop there but con- tinue to act in the interest of the sec tion it represents.

BEAT SULLIVAN OVER THE HEAD
 WITH A CHAIR

:. James Sullivan, who boards at 559 Water street, is at St. Vincent's hos pital recuperating from the effects of a tremendous beating he received last night from Peter Hachadoorian, a muscular Greek. who seized a chair and knocked Sullivan, about half way into Kingdom Come, and probably would have finished the job but for the interference of others.
 Hachadoorian was arraigned in the city court this morning and his case was continued under bonds of $500, pending the outcome of Sullivan's in- juries.
 Both men board at the Water street place. Yesterday being the anniver- sary of Greek independence, Hach- adoorian started to celebrate it and had a fight with Sullivan. The Greek seized a chair and smashed the other over the head with it, felling him to the ground and then beating him un- til others summoned the police and stopped the slaughter.

 CHORUS: All that I asks shave,
 That's all I want from you, I will not have a haircut,
 A massage nor shampoo, I do not seek a shine,

The barber seized a shaving brush, With father filled my eyes, And then he stuck 1t. in my mouth To stop my sobs and cries. He cut and slashed and gladly scraped Until I yelled, and when I left that barber shop swore I'd never say again:
