COLONEL SPEECH
DEPENDS ON Taft
Ii President Does Not Assail
Him During Day BE Will
Not AssaiI Executive.
CAMPAIGN is SIZZLING


Boston, April 2S-The last word in the
sizzling campaign fight between Presi-
dent Taft and Col. Roosevelt in this
State will be uttered tomorrow night
by the former President What Roose-
Welt win say will all depend upon what
Mr.. Taft does during the day. The
President and former President, stump
ing against each other on the same
date, are expected TO make Massaehu-
sets ring with acrimonious oratory.
The President is to traverse part OF the
Cape" region, in which Roosevelt
spoke yesterday. making stops at Taun-
ton, Brookline, Fail River, and New
Bedford. After that he viii swing into
Middlesex- and Essen counties, where
Roosevelt will appear earlier in the day.
Tha. President will wind up his day at
Lowell, whence he departs at o'clock
for Washington, leaving the State to his
adversary.

parts will be some 100 miles away. about

PIttsfeld he will learn from emissa-
ries, who are to listen to the Taft
speeches. all that the President says
about him.
If Mr.. Taft violently attacks Mr..
Roosevelt. the colonel win have time
before he arrives at Pittsheld to pre-
pare a scathing reply and he will not
fan to do It. Should Mr. Taft stick
20 mere glit.ering references to the col
onel and not seattle him as he did in
his Boston speech last Thursday night.
the colonel will make his reply milder.
Roosevelt told Massachusetts leaders
with whom he talked here to-day that
he does not want TO hurl any blast at
the President unless Taft assails him.
He refrained from doing it last night
IN his speech here, because he felt that
he sufficiently answered Tafts con-
demnation of him in his Worcester as
sault. Besides, Roosevelt does not want
TO give the impression that he consid-
ers himself on the defensive, as he
feels he would by devoting himself to
replies 20 Mr.. Taft.
VIII AssaII Gardner.
So far as Roosevelt's day speeches are
concerned, he will, so he indicated to-
night, make brief but pungent personal
illusions TO Taft. The colonel viii crit
icise the Taft administration much as
he did in his Western speeches, and will
drag in the bosses again, insisting that
Mr.. Taft has never tried to discourage
their support Of him
Roosevelt starts out from here at
o'clock in the morning by special train,

PASTORS UNION CONDEMNS FIGHT AND COMMITTEE SEES EMBARRASSMENT NOTIFIES PROMOTERS THAT HE WILL STOP IT SHOULD BOXERS AP- PEAR ON SCENE

The ten round boxing bout between. Dick Gilbert of Denver, Colo and Bob Brown of Plttsburg, that was to have teen pulled off at the Jefferson theatre last night was declared off owing to in- tervention by Sheriff McAdory. The in reference by the sheriff from a reso- lution passed at a meeting of the Pastors union yesterday in which the proposed boxing exhibition was roundly condemned. A committee from the Pastors union waited on the sheriff and as a result the promoters of the bout were notified that the event would not be allowed.
 The promoters of the boxing tourp- ment feel that they were clearly V the law as no prize or purse was offered and that the limited number of rounds meant merely a boxing exhibition for points.
 Morgan Kerr, the manager for Bob Brown, made the following statement
 q regret that the authorities have seen fit to put the ban on boxing exhibitions They have set the precedent and fin the future no boxing exhibitions can be al lowed. I am sure the gentlemen who opposed the event were not clearly in formed as to the nature of the event The proposed match was not brutal prize fight, as was suggested, but a scientific sparrlng exhibition for points between two trained athletes. in it's high est order exemplifying the manly art Of self-defense.
 "In my opinion it is much better to train boys to protect themselves with the weapons that God gave them than to resort to the knife and pistol. Boxing is clean healthy sport, 1t developes the physical man and makes him quick and active.
 Among its votaries are men in every walk of life, extending even to the ministry and is a part of athletic feature of every college. When 1t cones to a fine analysis does not boxing mat up favorably with foothsli. for in the Urge majority of in- stances the boxers rarely hurt each other. while rarely football game is com pleted without several injuries.
 Tn the past few weeks there has been nrmberless cutting and shooting scraps. showing that the use of the knife and rlstol is growing. This very morning less than block from my house on Red mountain white man, MT. Cox, was held up and fatally shot by negro. He was grappling with his dssailant when wounded. I firmly believe that had Mr. Cox been versed in the art of self-de- fense he would not be at deaths door today.
 'I respectfully ask that the gentlemen visit the Athletic club and witness a few bouts between we'll matched men and 1 feel confident they will have a differ ent opinion of the game than they have today"

JIM FLYNN EASILY
 DEFEATS MILLER

San Francisco, September 2.-Jim Flynn won from Charlie Miller, the latest white hope, here today when Miller refused to the first Il rounds the fighting was about even. but Flynn kept handing out heavier and heavier punches. Miller weighed 21S, Flynn 1S2.
 Miller gamely stayed through the fif- teenth round, but claiming that two of his ribs had been fractured and that he was barely able to walk, he ignored the gong for the sixteenth. His condition plainly was such that he could not con- tinue.
 Except in some of the earlier rounds, Flynn administered a severe beating to the championship aspirant He closed his former sparring partners left eye and drew blood from the face more than once. During the last Eve rounds he had Miller staggering part of the time and four times almost put over a knockout.
 Miller was willing at all times and forced the fighting through many of the rounds. He stood and exchanged punch for punch with Flynn and started several rallies that brought the crowd to it's feet. Flynn used an effective right uppercut and jolted Miller with hard punches. He also landed frequently on the body. Dur ing the tenth round, after Miller had beaten Flynn around the ring in a sensa- tional rally, he stood and looked at the fireman and then said smiingy:
 Gee, Flynn. I've got to give it to you; you're 8 tough guy.

JOE MANDOT GETS DECISION IN BOUT WITH JOE RIVERS
Jimmy Johnston Breaks
 Southern League Record
STEAL OF SECOND BASE IN THE SIXTH INNING GIVES HIM IS
 THEFTS-RICKERTS RECORD
 OF 1904 WAS 77 STOLEN SACKS

In the sixth inning of the afternoon game Jimmy Johnston stole second base' thereby breaking the Southern league record established by Joe Rickert In lsoi, when with the New Orleans club he stole IT bases. Through his theft of second Johnston made his seventy eighth steal Of the season.
 In the game of Saturday Johnston stole . base in the fifth inning off Dunn and tied the record Yesterday with Mcbride on third base he tried to steal second. Me- Bride had small lead off the base but made no attempt to steal when Johnston started. However, Haigh begged to Mills and caught Mcbride mapping at third sta- ton.
 This, however, has nothing to do with the theft mads by Johnston. The reason given for allowing the stolen base is that no double steal or triple steal was at tempted by McBride and Johnston. The put out of Mcbride by New Orleans did not aid Johnston's chance either as the speedy centerfelder had already annexed the bate when the out occurred. A relay from third would not have headed John ston off at third base. The throw to third was not to catch Mcbride off the base but to prevent him from taking home while Johnston made second.
 The speedy base runner will probably steal s5 bases before the close of the sea son. At the present time Clyde Milan Of the Washington Americans leads the ma 3or leagues with a total of 76 thefts since the opening of the season. He. however, has participated in more games than Jonn- ston.
 The world record was made some 20 years ago when nearly 200 bases were stolen by member of the Chicago club.
 Johnston will participate in the rest or the Southern league games anu snouid steal at least 10 more bases. He declares that he believes he will make S5, although an injured ankle is keeping him from using his usual speed and hs is sliding head forward into the bases.
