7 OS ANGELES, July 14.-With
the French champion, LeDoux,
and Johnny Williams, the Bal
timore scrapper, as McCarey's head
liners for the Vernon attraction to-
morrow night. nstic patrons are prom
ised one Of the best bantamweight
matches that has been staged here. IL
seems an absolute certainty that with
both these strong rugged, hard hitting
little fellows thrown together the bat
tie will be most satisfactory as a
simon pure slugfest. Both boxers are
Of comparatively similar styles. but
the husky Baltimore lad leads his OPP
ponent a long way in point Of clever
ness and ring generalship

LeDouX and Williams are almost
exact counterparts in size and phys
ical makeup. Johnny is the more
perfectly developed boy and knows
how to utilize his strength to better
advantage although Frenchy is APP
parently as sturdy in the ring as is
his opponent. They both slug from
gong to gong. With two principals
fighting this style directly onto the
other and both boxers being the
game, courageous youngsters they
have shown themselves to be, there is
bound to he a hard and interesting
battle while 1t lasts.
Little LeDouX was seen here with
Eddie Campi. and though sadly out
classed IN Cleverncss, he created a
most favorable impression with fight
followers because he is one Of those

Against Williams he should find the
task an easier one to execute his

energy, which went so amiss against
the elusive Frisco bantam Williams

his feet as Campi. and may be caught
in range OF the Frenchman's punches

Each a Hard Hitter.
As concerns their respective hitting
ability, there is little to choose be-
tween them. II anything, l fancy Lee
Doux is the more dangerous and a
harder puncher.
Basing my judgment entirely upon
their respective twenty round battles
with Eddie Camp. Williams has the
class and 1 believe he will win this
match in a rather decisive manner.

MANAGERIAL job
CAUSESEVERSTO
JOIN WORRYCLUB
By Davenport.

y HICAGO, July 14.-"What does
it mean to a ball player to as
sumo the responsibilities of the
nnanagership of a ball club?"
This very pointed Interrogation was
put up directly to Johnny Evers, pres
ent leader Of the Cubs.
1T means a lot of worry" said John,
and the expression on the Trojan's
face as he gave vent to the words
more than told the story.
Being simply ball player, one who
is told what to do and when to do it,,
is fine business. particularly IL one is
able to do as he is told the proper
time but jumping from that position
to one where it becomes necessary to
give the orders and know just when
and where a thing should be done
and by whom, is a different matter
Evers a Changed Man.
F,Vers' face is a Veritable score
board Glance at it after a game that
the Cubs have won, and you can al
most read the score. There is a smile
playing about his countenance that
tells the tale more plainly than the
tape.
If. however. the Cubs have lost, the
worried expression on Johns face tells
the tale more plainly than figures.
The managership of the Cubs has
made a changed man Of Evers. he Is
restless and continually worried. He
sleeps but little nights, smokes al
most necessarily, and Is simply a
bundle Of quivering nerves.
This is true with practically all of
the new managers in the National
League, with the exception, perhaps,
of Joe Tinker.
Here is one boss who is taxing
things as they come, living an easy,
simple life, and is always looking on
the bright side.
Makes Pals of His Men.
Joe makes companions OF his men.
If one of the Reds makes rank bob
BILE Joe has little to say about 1t on
the field.
F,yers pursues a different method.

ont Opinion differs as to the advisa-
5ilitv of this method, but John seems

is still down in the rut.
Miller Higgins is another upon
whom the managerial duties have
weighed heavily. When the season
opened higgins was one of the most
pleasant. affable little fellows one
would care to meet.

MEYERS TRIED
NEW PLAY ON
EBBETS FIELD.
By Sam Crane.

NEW YORK, July 14.-Chief Mey-
ers tried for a play recently in
the Dodgers series over
at Ebbets Field that has splendid pos
sibilities. 1t is not at all likely,
though, that the Chiefs original con-
ception will be followed to such an
extent that the present style Of play
ing baseball will be revolutionized.
But, still, the Chief Is entitled to great
credit for his originality.
l have seen players back up their
own wild throws, ana once saw Dan
OLeary chase ball he threw over a
grandstand and nail the batter at the
plate, but the latter sprung as big
charley horse in one Of his legs as
Dan was laboring under in his head.
but when a catcher runs down into
deep right field and with a chance TO
return the ball to the plate in time to
nail the batter at the position the
catcher just vacated then / am sure
there is nothing new in baseball.
This is exactly what Chief Meyers
did.
Meyers Chases Ball.
In the fifth inning of one Of the
games Miller of the Dodgers, splash
ed a slow roller along the third base
line. Shafer got the ball and whipped
it to MeTkle like a shot The runner
and the ball got to first at about the
same instant, and Merkle, having no
chance to catch the ball, it went out
into foul ground and caromed off the
low concrete wall toward Burns, who
was playing right field. Meyers an
ticipated the play as II by second
sight, and as the ball whistled by Mer-
kle, the Chief was seen dashing madly
past first, chasing the speeding pellet
for dear life. He had nearly reached
it, too, when Burns picked it up and
by a great heaye to Fletcher smoth-
cred Miller at third,
Chance for Rare Play.
Now, it would have been the easiest
play in the world for Meyers to have
got the pail, and if Miller had kept on
home TO have pinched him at the
plate by ten feet or more
If that play had been pulled off #
would surely have been the strangest
ever made on the ball field, and the
Chief would have been the most
talked of and written about player in
the country.
1t was as startlingly thrilling an
attempt at backing up as ! ever wit
messed, and the Chief rather showed
up some Of his speedy fellow players
who pride themselves on their sprint
ing and cast good-natured sIurs at
the Chiefs running powers.

HUNTING NOTES.

The story goes that a northern
guide, fearful of being accidentally
shot for deer, always wore a white
and-black striped coat. One day,
however, he was accidentally shot by
deer hunter, who gave himself up
after the deed. At the inquest the
coroner said
Eve find you killed this man ac-
cidentally, but we would like to know
how you came to mistake a man
CARRIED in black-and- white stripes like
these for deer?''
II didn't mistake him for deer"
answered the hunter. II thought he
was ZEBRA
Game Warden Williams arrested six
Milwaukeeans near Medford few
days ago for buying six deer. John
Kruger shouldered the response
bility and paid a 500 fine. The war
den contiscated the deer and the six
hunters bought them back at $40 each.
Three local men who sold the deer
were fined S25 each. More arrests are
to follow.

took railroad locomotive for deer,
shot at it and succeeded in perforating

WITH EYE TO THE DIVIDENDS
Conductor Felt Obliged to Charue Pas
senser for Rent, IL Not fer
transportation.

They jolted along for about two
blocks after the man paid his fare:
then, with mighty jerk, the car came
to dead stop. When it had stood
motionless for over half an hour the
man conceived the brilliant idea of
trying to get uptown by means of
some other line, and he approached
the conductor in friendly manner,
and asked him to give him his money
back. The conductor did not re-
spond in like fraternal spirit.
Can't do it." he said.
"Oh, now, see here" the man ar
gued- This is not right, you know.
| rode less than two blocks in your
old car, and it is barefaced robbery
to take a mans money for a little
jaunt like that"
And then was when the conductor
got in his deadly work.
Il amt chargin' you for the ride"
he said. Amt you been sittin' here
in the car for the last half hour. and
amt you willin' to pay for that? You
can't go in any place in this town
without payin' rent, and you might as
well pay in a nice, comfortable street
car as any place else"
We'll, I'm blessed" said the man,
and the idea of paying rent in
street car as being so novel and so
thrilled him with such appreciation
of favors received that he went away
without even thinking of his nickel
again.-Chicago Record-Herald.

READING REALLY A FINE ART
Aim Should Be to Extract Best From
Book Without Having to
Read 1t Through"

The duty of taking the reading Of
the run of books, old and new, more
seriously, and going through the
whole with grim determination, rests
heavily on the consciences of many.
We do not here refer, says the New
York Times, to reviewers, or the old
jokes about their preserving critical
impartiality by not reading the works
of which they write notices. The
question is, rather, of those who read
for pleasure, or to amass information
or to keep their intellectual interests
alive. Must it be woe to them if they
do not read each volume to the bitter
end? The best answer is to be had
from the great readers. Macaulay
could dispose of half dozen books
in his cab on the way to the house of
commons. Naturally, he did not read
them through" But if there was any
thing in any of them that he wanted,
his unerring eye hit upon the passage.
That was enough for him. He had
squeezed out the juice, and what did
he care about the pulp? Dr. Johnson
had similar habits. Adam Smith said
of him: johnson knew more books
than any man." yet, Immediately aft
er recording this tribute, Boswell
wrote of his hero: HE had peculiar
facility in Selling at once what was
valuable in any book, without submit
ting it to the labor of perusing it
from beginning to end"
