Credit to Buckley.

Buckley thought otherwise. He knows
that experience Is of infinitely more bene-
fit to a fighter than so-called courage
and he figured that If he took Smith back
East and kept sending him into the
ring at every opportunity he would be-
get confidence, which after all is courage
in its most useful form.
Buckley's judgment was good. Smith
has not only improved both in knowledge
of boxing, but in the weight of his punch
and whoever beats him now will be
worthy of the name Of champion.
And, while think Of il, San Fran
cisco is waiting to apologize to Gunboat
Smith. When he dips into the ring to
box Arthur Pelkey he will receive an
ovation that will warm the cookies OF
his heart

Accused of Cowardicr.

Among other things Smith was accused
going was rough. although in this con-
nectiOn the writer feels like saying in
fairness that he has never seen anything
in Smiths case which could be called
pronounced cowardice. True the Gunner
has backed away at times when the
other fellow went at him pell-mell. but
l have seen numbers of the stoutest-
hearted Tingsters do that. The courage
that isn't qualified with d little caution
is more Of hindrance than a help to a
fighting man. And as George Dawson
once said, Very few boxers become
champions getting in front OF every
blow aimed at them"
Buckley heard all that was TO be said
about Gunboat's yellow streak and
then said, ''E'Il take him East with me,
/ think he will get along all right there
and maybe you fellows wont know him
when he comes back"
Gunboat certainly has made good un-
der Buckley's direction and many dis
cussions have arisen as to how il was
that Buckley saw much promise in
Smith. when the supposedly wise men
Of the West had pronounced him a dub.
II swas no doubt, Gunboat's ability TO
punch, that impressed Buckley. 1t stands
to reason, of course, that the sports at
this end knew Smith for a hard hitter
but they figured that Smiths timid style
Of fighting would prevent him from de-
veloping his knockout blow into a re-
liable asset.

Gunboat in Role of Champion

San Francisco, Nov. $50 Gunboat
Smith earned-or at any rate received
a decision over Sam Langford.
While some of the spectators may not
have thought well of the award. and
while Langford's manager may have
sent broadcast kilograms denouncing the
verdict as a Boston ruling and an out
rage, decision is a decision after all,
and contributes its share toward build
ing up a reputation.
To those who saw roly-poly Sam Lang
ford in action with Jack Lester, at Taft,
the idea Of Langford calling upon heaven
to witness that he was wronged in his
match with Smith is humorous.
As was pointed out after the Taft af-
fair, it would require months of earnest
effort to place Langford in condition to
participate in anything in the boxing
line.
According to all accounts Sam was as
high in flesh at Boston as he was at
Taft, and If he really tried his best and
was worsted, he worked an injustice to
himself.
He knows that Gunboat Smith is about
the best man of any color at present be-
fore the public, and he should not have
risked a hard-earned reputation when he
wasn't fit to do himself justice.
Adds To His Record.
In any case, no matter what was be-
hind the Boston bout, Gunboat Smith is
the gamer, and il must be said that he
had gone to the front in a wonderful
manner during the past year. II may
be urged that there are certain men he
should meet and certain men he Is none
too desirous of meeting but his record
usa l- t. Wk~,, hos
Of any other man in his class.
II is such, in fact. that If a question:
arose in any foreign country as to who
was the best heavyweight in America
eight of every ten followers Of pugilism
would name Gunboat Smith.
He has victories to his credit over Jim
Flynn. Carl Morris Bombardier Wells,
Jess Willard. Charlie Miller, Boer Rodel.
Sam LangfOrd. and Frank Moran. and
this practically means that the only, man
left for him to try conclusions with is
Arthur PeIkey. A match between the
pair will take place under Jim Coffroth's
this coming January and the
winner will come near to being a genuine
worlds champion.
Back East the opinion prevails that
should do battle again with
Carl Morris. Smith himself must know
that this feeling exists and il he wins
from Pelkey he will no doubt defer to
public ideas on this matter. If he fails
10 do so he will receive many an un-
pleasant reminder OF his remissness as
he makes his triumphfuI tour around the |
footlights circuit
GUnboat Smiths success is quite a |
tribute TO the powers of discernment of |
Dne Jim Buckley. The latter saw Smith |

and could not very well shut his eyes to |
he fact that GunbOat was anything but |

CUNNING DECIDES CONTEST FOR
HAND OF BEAUTY.
Father Chose Among Many Suitors for

self Took Hand in Final
Selection.

There was, once upon time, Sen
egal tailor, who had a daughter as
dazzling as the sun. All the youths
in the neighborhood were in love with
her beauty, and two of them went to
her and asked for her hand. The girl,
like a well-trained daughter, made
them no answer, but called her father,
who listened to them and said:
''It is late; go home, and come again
tomorrow. l will tell you then which
of you shall have my daughter"
At daybreak the next morning the
young men were at his door.
Here we are" they cried; "remem-
Der what you promised us yesterday"
"Wait," said the tailor; 81 must go
out and buy a piece of cloth; when
return you will hear what l expect you
to do"
He soon returned, and calling his
daughter said to the young men:
my sons, there are two of you, and
I have but one daughter. l cannot give
her to both of you and must refuse
one. You see this piece of cloth
I will cut from it two pairs of breeches
exactly alike; each of you shall make
one of them, and the one that finishes
first shall be my son-in-law."
Each of the rivals took his task and
prepared to set to work under the
tailor's eyes. The latter said to his
daughter: Here is thread; you can
thread the needles for the workmen."
The girl obeyed; she took the spool
and sat down by the youths. But the
pretty witch was full of cunning; her
father did not know which one she
loved. neither did the young men, but,
for her part, she knew very well. The
tailor went out, the girl threaded the
needles, and her suitors set to work.
But to the one she loved she gave
short needlefuls, while she gave long
needlefuls to his rival. Both sewed
zealously; at eleven o'clock the work
was scarcely half done, but at three
m the afternoon the young man with
the short needlefuls had finished his
task, while the other was far behind.

TARIFF DEBATE IN
HOUSE NEAR END
Bill Goes to Senate Tomorrow
Practically Unamended.
REAL BATTLE THEN BEGINS
Dissatisfaction by Certain Democratic
Senators Over Free Wool and
Sugar Features Expected to
Take Concrete Form.

Washington, May 5.-The end of the
dong and weary debate on the Under
wood tariff bill in the house will be
reached tomorrow
The measure will then go to the SEN
ate practically unamended. save in a
few minor details, and there the real
fight will begin.
Bitter Fight Predicted.
That the battle of the senators over
the various schedules will be of long
duration and provocative of bitter de-
bate is foregone conclusion. There
IS keen antagonism over the free wool
and free sugar features of the Under
wood bill and the dissatisfaction Of
certain senators from wool and sugar
producing states, most of whom are
Democrats, is expected to take con-
crete form.
There was little fear expressed by
those close to the administration that
these senators would bolt the party,
but it was thought not unlikely that
Senator Simmons estimate of six
weeks for the final passage and adop-
tiOn Of the Underwood bill by the SEN
ate might be exceeded.
Debate Will Be Unlimited.
There is no way to curtail the adj
dress of a member of the senate, as
there is in the house, and furthermore
it is regarded as significant that the
rules committee has turned down Sen
atOr Ashurst's resolution throwing all
committee meetings open to the pub
Tic. This will have the effect of CIV
ing the disgruntled legislators greater
latitude in committee, an advantage
they are only too likely to take.
In setting tomorrow as the day on
which the tariff bill will be completed
in the house debate, the fast time made
by the lower body in approving the
various preceding schedules has been
taken into account. Saturday the lower
body approved the WOOL silk, paper
and pulp schedules and made inroads
on the sundries schedule. There re-
main for consideration the majority
portion Of the big Democratic free list,
the income tax and the administrative
features of the bill

Pacification of Albania Planned by

London, May 5.-Tension in the Eu-

lieved by the news of Montenegro's
eleventh hour submission. Confronted
by Austria's threatening attitude,
which was backed by Italy, King
Nicholas decided to withdraw from
Scutari.
Austria, however, is not relaxing
military preparations, although the
objective of these preparations is not
now Montenegro, nor even Scutari
The pacification of Albania is the
task for which Austria lie modifying
$4,000 troops.
Cooperating with Italy, Austria will
occupy Albania, with the object of
ending anarchical conditions there.
AS a measure of precaution, mar
tial law has been proclaimed in Bos-
MIA, and also in Herzegovina, the
neighboring Austrian state. This
means considerable curtailment of
public liberty. 1t is stated in official
circles that the occupation of Albania
will be only temporary and that no
division Of territory is contemplated,
but elsewhere such assurances are
distrusted.
Actual military operations are ex-
pected to begin within the next few
days.

nople says that the porte has replied
