RECORD SHOWS
RIVERS PACKS
SPLENDID KICK

LOS ANGELES, June PA quiet
visit to the private cemeteries of the
Queensberry bad men," Ad Wolgast
and Joe Rivers, while these two fight
ers who will contend for the light
weight championship at Vernon on
July 4, are in the midst of their train
ing camp routine, might be Of interest
to the general public.
Wolgast, who is now "a years of age,
started his career in 1906; has been
fighting six years, and has yet to listen
to the lullaby Of The referee He has
fought eight draws, fourteensno decl-
sion bouts, "a wins and has "a knock
outs to his credit The only defeat
credited against him was at the begin
ming of his career, when Young Nell
SON got a four-round decision over
him
Wolgast's record as it stands proves
that ne is one Of the best lightweights
that ever lived. He has met fighters,
boxers and combinations of both styles
and beaten or held his own with all of
them.
Rivers Just Twenty.
Rivers has just turned the twentieth
milestone He started lighting in 1908,
when seventeen years of age; fought
three battles and then laid off until
1910. He has boxed four draws, four
wins, scored eleven knockouts and suf-
fered one defeat In figuring Rivers
record this losing fight must be thrown
out
Rivers luke finish at the hands of
Johnny Kilhane was probably one of
the greatest accidents in the history
Of the game says Charley Eyton, who
refereed on that occasion. ITO me
this defeat amounts to absolutely moth
ing, as Rivers was so far ahead of
Johnny when the string broke that the
go had ceased to BE a contest. which
fact made Rivers grow careless"
To sum up, Wolgast. has had 46
fights in six years and has won so per
cent Of them by the knockout route.
Rivers has had nineteen fights in four
years and has knocked out so per cent
of his men.
Rivers Is Confident.
Rivers is confidence personifed. in
regard to the crash Of one week from
today He is sure that this is going to
be Wolgast's funeral and has ordered
up couple Of extra tons of fuel for
the Rivers crematory.
AID will be so we'll done that he will
never be brought near the fire again,
says the laughing Mexican youth
What Wolgast says in reply to this
taunt would not look we'll in print.

Extensively Yesterdays ball game con-
sisted in one hit the home run of Dave
Callahan. Defensively II was made up of
more brilliant stuff than a worlds series.
Atlanta's new infelders. Agler and Har-
bison, had a chance to show some stuff
before they had been playing on Atlanta
grounds for two minutes. After Moran
had singled at the beginning of the first
inning Jordan stung a bunt down by first,
II was one of those nasty push hunts for
which Jordan is so justly famous and IT
was designed to sneak by Agler But the
new first baseman dashed in on it like
Hal Chase, picked up the ball cleverly,
and without even looking hurled the pill
for second, to head the speedy Moran who
often requires an awful lot Of heading.
With Moran coming into the base spikes
first and with the throw a tri1e short 1t
was hard chance for HARRISON, but he
handled it cleverly
There's no holding Harry Bailey down
these days He made two of the three
hits that Bill chappelle gave up.
Both pitchers had the control of Tam
many cheftain. Chappelle walked just
one man, Agler Brady didn't walk sim
gle man.
Newt Ethridge, former business man
ager of the Atlanta club and now presi
dent of the Macon club, was in Atlanta
yesterday for the game and there was
reunion of the working force of other
days at the Chattanooga bench, with For
mer Business Manager Ethridge. a for
mer club president, w R Joyner a for
mer manager, Bill Smith, and former
team captain, Otto Jordan, taking part
with some assistance from former players,
Moran, Barr and Sentell.
Newt Ethridge brings the news that
Mary Calhoun, former ATech first base
man, is going great guns for Macon He
is batting over 300 and fielding like a
fiend.
OF course Catcher Hannah. of the Look
out team, is nicknamed Mark"
senter is the same old sunny natured
Paul. He even got up an argument and
a jawing match yesterday with Bill Chap
pelle, than whom there is none better

Rudderham But he proved a plenty
Rudy" fell fiat, as Kavanaughs UNI
pires all do, in falling to enforce the balk
rule. After Ager had walked in the fifth
or even looking toward the bag and Agler
was caught off dat-footed. II was as
cold blooded a ballS as ever happened, but
Rudderham didn't allow 1t.
If any umpire called a baIk on a South
ern league pitcher these days he would
fall dead from surprise.
The Atlanta bats didn't arrive until Just
as the game began. If they had never
turned up it wouldn't have made a lot Of
difference yesterday to anybody but Bal
ley and Callahan.

TO stimulate imports from the United
States by a gift of the business to
Americans for the benefit of Canadian
buyers. 1t was only treason when the
Laurier government sold such con-
cessions for equivalent concessions by
the United States. II the Borden ar.
rangement was benefcial to Canada,
The Laurier arrangement was mere so
by whatever was gained for Canadian
sellers through bargains with US. The
effect Of the cement concessions is
proof that the opposition to reciproe-
ty was humbug, and there Is much
humbug about the fears of the results
of tariff reductions as proposed by our
elective results.

GOLDEN STATE
LIMITED TRAIN.


On January all the country in
Southern Arizona through which the
Fl Paso & Southwestern railroad
runs will be brought into greater
prominence by the coming OF the
Golden State Limited train over this
system from FL Paso to Tucson. This
is highclass transcontinental train
which was put in service by the Rock
Island system, running over that sys-
TEN from Chicago to San Francisco.
The Southwestern receives this tran
at Tusumcari, its eastern terminus,
but in the past has only hauled it to
FL Paso where it was delivered TO the
Southern Pacific. Now arrangements
have been made to have this train con
tinue on the Southwestern tracks from
Fl Paso to Tucson and as result
the wellto-do passengers, who patron
ize this de luxe service, amounting TO
thousands each year VIII pass through
the southern part of Ccchise county,
the richest mineral section of the
state, and become acquainted with the
history and present magnitude of the
mineral industry in the Warren dis
trict and at Douglas. Many of them
will learn OF Bisbee with its five
thousand miners underground and of
the fact that at Douglas have been
constructed two of the largest and
most modern copper smelling plants
in the world to accommodate the ores
from this wonderful district.
That many of these passing strang,
ers will either stop OF for a visit
in this section or become sufficiently
interested in its wonderful industries
and opportunities to make q return
trip for fareful investigation may be
confidently expected. And when
such investigation is made the i'm
preston received viii be all to the
credit and advantage Of this hereto
fore isolated industrial beehive OF
Arizona. 1t will mean that the op
portunities here and in uotheru So
nora for further mineral development
will become known where they were
never known before and The spread
ing Of this knowledge will surely re
suit in more capital seeking invest
ment here where success and prof
have been so abundant.

WHO PAYS
TARIFF DUTIES?


With the end of the building season
the remission of duties on cement into
Canada ceases, and the result is now
available. The imports. chiefly from
the United States, rose from 32T,4j9
barrels to 1865. This is sufficiently
striking. but less so than the increase
of the imports into the prairie prov
tnces from 3,19I barrels to 302,45O,
almost a hundredfold increase. The
duty was RENTED to stimulate build
ing in those provinces. and it is be-
yond doubt that il succeeded. In pro
portion that the duty would have
Kept out that cement it would have
checked the building done with it, and
the amount of the duty collected
would have been far from measuring
the burden on INDUSTRY.
Protectionists argue that the for
efgners pay the duty in order to gain
admission TO the market. Il is sure
that our cement makers did not pay
the duty which excluded theiE prod
uct from the commission. and it is
sure that the remission of the duty
provided employment which world
not have been available if the Domin
ion had continued TO collect the Gus
toms that depressed the building trade
so long as it was paid.

AFTER YEARS OF BLINDNESS
fNew York Times.l

Authentic advices from Columbus,
Ohio, that the first remark of wo-
man after regaining her eyesight, OF
which she had been deprived four
years, was What awful rights women
are making o themselves in the new
styles" Presumably. in her period Of
blindness she had been enabled to
take some note Of the fashions in
dress. It takes more than the loss Of
vision to make a woman oblivious to
the demands of fashion IN dress or
unconcerned about them. We are priv
LEGGED to assume that she knew the
shapes of things but il was the gen
eral effect suddenly revealed. which
amazed her. Doubtless other changes
in her Columbus environment she has
found only less startling. But the fact
that the aspect of the supposedly we'll
dressed women was the first thing
that caused her aston.shment is sig
nificant
After four years Of blindness, any
where in the world OF action, the re-
coyery OF vision must be accompanied

American cities are more crowded

TURKISH PRoGREssIvEs
AND OTHERS.

Turkeys collapse follows fast upon
the regeneration OF Turkey by the
Young Turks, the Progressiyes Of Tuc
key. It is not right to say that the
one event caused the other, any more
than it is possible to argue that the
Young Turks were wrong in their po--
sition and ought not to have sue
ceeded. The one sure thing is that,
however they may have reformed
Turkeys domestic affairs, they have
been unequal to the task which they
assumed. Their ambitions, however
honest, their promises, however for
vent, have failed under test which
they did not forsee.
Is there not here a warning for our
selves? Our Progressives, after all, are
men like the rest of US. They can
neither torsesee nor control events,
and the important events OF the fu
ture may be hidden from them as com.
pletely as from the rest of US. If they
proposed to proceed with their re
forms in the manner proved good by
a century's experience it might be
that they could do little harm before
they we're checked by the country.
But they are proposing the removal
OF accustomed checks and balances
provided as wholesome restraint upon
any faction. They are proposing tc
alter the Constitution at the will Of
the majority and to intrust the inter
