St. Louis Series.

Twice the Sox and Cubs have tan
gled in this years city championship
tussle, an even split is the result, and
the grand old dope has received two
swift kicks in the pants.
There is a remarkable similarity
between the city and worlds series
games, so far as the punishment adj
ministered to the form sheet is con-.
cerned. Pitching was supposed to
be the deciding factor here. But lusty
bludgeoning has swung the pendu-
lum of victory.
Pitching was what we heard about
when the worlds series games were
under discussion, and in two of the
three games the boxmen have been
neglible quantities.
And with the form sheet shot full
of holes, where do we get off? We
don't.

Mike Gibbons Has Shade on Kelly
Carl Morris Fouls Smith.

IOuSH drSuLuoHL Ill hSlOSud last
night, but at the end of the tenth
round the st. Paul boy had rolled up
a safe lead on points. Some of the
critics were of the opinion that Kelly
was entitled to draw, but the major
portion of the small crowd on hand
gave the edge to Gibbons.
Few, damaging punches were land
ed, but the boxers were active at all
stages and provided an interesting
entertainment. Gibbons displayed all
of his Wanted cleverness and parted
the majority of Kelly's vicious swings.
The most encouraging feature of
the bout was the way the boxing
commission handled it. The prelimi-
naries were not allowed to start until
all of the spectators were seated, and
the influence of the commissions
power was reflected in the way the
men fought. No mollycoddle work is
to be tolerated. The Wisconsin sys-
tenn of handling boxing is bound to
rebound to the credit of the game and
will make the Kenosha, Racine and
Milwaukee shows things worth go
ing to see.
But for the foul he committed
against Gunboat Smith in New York
last night Carl Morris would have
climbed another rung on the white
hope ladder. Smith had slight adj
vantage until the foul occurred in the
fifth round, but Morris was putting
up good battle and had landed sew
eral stiff punches.
Morris landed low punch and was
promptly disqualified. Morris was
forcing Smith to hold to avoid pun
ishment. The Gunboat was superior
in cleverness and his defense baffled
Morris early in the ruction. Morris
had begun to solve him, however,
and had a good chance when he
brought the fight to a close.

PRESIDENT WILSON'S INA UR.4L .AD-
DRENN

Viewed from every angle. measured from any stand point, Pres
ident Wilson's inaugural address was a great deliverance. The ad-
dress is remarkable for its minimum of words and for its maximum
of comprehension. 1t was as clear in covering the nations needs as
a crystal. 1t was as radiant in evncing a desire to serve all the peo-
pie of this great country as a sunbeam. 1t was a graphic picture of
the country's political and economic ills. which included a prescrip-
ton, that if followed, will bring the greatest benefits of government
to the largest number of people. The President showed that the
needs and the life of the individual citizen should be paramount to
the aggregated interests of individuals. There was a simplicity and
a directness about what was said that should furnish consolation to
every honest man and an inspiration to every citizen of the country
who is mindful of the future. The golden thread of christianity runs
through the whole address and gives a recognition of divine teach
ings that is reassuring. Mr. Wilson has led the life of an upright
citizen and has endeavored to live by the doctrine he teaches. The
country is safe when its great leaders are bold to proclaim such SEN
timents and square official conduct by such proclamations as mark
the closing words of the address, which were Is follows:
This is not a day of triumph; it is a day of dedication. Here
we muster not the forces of party, but the forces of humanity. Mems
hearts wait upon us; mems lives hang in the balance; mems hopes
call upon US to say what we will do. Who shall live up to the great
trust? Who dares fail to try? summon all honest men. all patri-
Otto, all forward-looking men, to my side. GOD helping me, will
not fail them, if they will but counsel and sustain me-"

Petition for Pardon.

Honorable Earl Brewer, Governor,
jackson, Miss:
We, the undersigned petitioners, re-
specially petition you to release from
confinement in the penitentiary Willie
Fowler, convicted or a plea of guilty in
the August term of the Grenada county
circuit court, 1912, and sentenced to
serve a term of two years in the state
penitentiary. We state without hest
tation that we believe the young man,
scarcely twenty years of age, to be
wholly unconscious of the nature of the
crime, on account of his mental inca
pacity. Further: We deem that his
stay in confinement the length of time
already to be sufficient punishment for
the crime charged-larceny, under the
peculiar circumstances of the occasion
of the asportation.
Trusting that you will exercise your
executive clemency in his case and as
surfing you that such mercy will not
prove misplaced, we are,
