BAsEBALL-ALL LIE
Legislators to See Boxing Bouts at
Springfield Tonight.

senator +. j. carroll, one OF the
sponsors Of the boxing bill now be-
fore the Illinois legislature, took a
vacation as a lawmaker yesterday
and qualified as prizefght promot-
er. He came to Chicago to round up
the mitt men who will perform before
members of the assembly in Spring
field tonight to demonstrate how box
ing matches would be conducted I'M
der the proposed law.
Several good bouts, bringing to-
gether men in all the weight diyi-
sions, have been earded for topight's
show. There will not be much blood
letting, the scientific side Of the game
being advanced.
Johnny Coulon, bantam champ,

Willie Schaffer, and Fred Gilmore VIII
travel four rounds with Mickey Sheri-
dan, his lightweight star. The prize
bout will be between Rep. George
Hilton and Mickey Boyle. Hilton is
an amateur boxer and Boyle was
formerly heavyweight battler.
Several Chicago aldermen, who
went to Springfield today to boost an
amendment to the JUL law, viii have
seats at the ringside.
The Carroll bill has been drawn to
eliminate, as far as possible, the fake
promoter and crooked fighter. Box
ing clubs must deposit a bond with
the commission which viii handle the
sport and if anything shady is pulled
of this bond viii be forfeited. AS the
forfeit will be made stiff one, it is
believed the ''fxers" will be kept out
of the sport.

The real thing in benefit" games
occurred on the South Side this
morning. Manager Callahan pitted
his regulars against the bench warm
ers, and he said the game was to
benefit" the muscles of the guys not
regularly employed. Everyone had
good time, and both sides claimed to
have won. The scorekeeper was
afraid to make decision.
Ed Walsh, the garter who has held
up the White Sox for several seasons,
heaved the pill around with gay aban-
don and quantity of spit, and at the
end Of practice claimed he was ready
to face any team in the league and
make the sluggers hate him.

Russell against Walter Johnson in

morrow. Whichever one of the local
beavers draws the assignment viii

chance of escaping defeat is to pitch
shut-out ball until darkness stops the
combat. Because the chances of roll

smaller than the percentage of the

Fifth In Cotton
Mill Industry.

Washington, Nov. 10. With an
output valued at more than six
hundred and twenty-five million
dollars the cotton. mill industry in
1909 among the industries of the
United States ranked third in the
number of persons employed and
seventh in the value of goods pro-
duced. The figures for that year,
just compiled by the Census
Bureau, were made public today.
A striking feature of the report
was the discovery that the increase
in manufacturing was much great
er in the Southern states than in
the North.
1.-THE industry is confined almost
entirely to the states east of the
Mississippi" says the report, from
territory west of that river only
twenty establishments having re-
ported. Massachusetts is the most
important state; North Carolina
ranked second; South Carolina,
third, and Rhode Island fourth.
g eergia, Pennsylvania, New
Hampshire, Connecticut and Ala
bama, in the order named were
the states next in rank. In general
the percentages of increase in the
leading Southern cotton manufac.
turing states were greater than
those in the Northern states"
In the three states, Alabama,
South and North Carolina, the
report sets forth nearly 10 per
cent of all employees in the mills
were children under 16 years old.
In Massachusetts. New Hamp-
shire and Rhode Island, however,
it was found that the proportion
of women employed in the mills
was much greater than in the
South.

5. A. L. Engineer Took
Florida. Tract For Debt
Sold It for $1,000 and
Divided With Man Who
Owed Him.

Jacksonville, Florida. &C. j,
Weeks, a n engineer Of t h e
Seaboard Air Line, is one of
many men who have least their
bread upon the waters" through
doing an act of brotherly kind
ness and in after years had the
supply returned an hundred fold.
Several years ago Weeks met
an engineer friend who was
down on his luck" and loaned
him the sum of 5000 with which
to keep the wolf from the door.
The friend found afterwards
that he was unable to pay the
debt and as he wished to leave
the state he went to Weeks and
offered him a small tract of land
in Marion county near Ocala in
settlement.
Il don't want your land, old
man and if you're hard up go
home and send me the $500 when
you get it, said Weeks.
mo, l want you to take the
land and you must do it" insist
ed the friend.
Weeks finally agreed and pro-
ceeded to forget that he owned
the land.
Some time ago business man
of Ocala wrote Weeks that he
wished to buy the land. Il don't
own any land in Marion county,"
Weeks wrote in reply.
The Ocala man then came to
Jacksonville and told Weeks that
the land was recorded in his
name, and then the engineer re-
membered that his friend had
decided the tract to him for the
debt of 5000.
AS a result of the conference
the tract, which contains a phos-
plate deposit, was sold by Weeks
for $11, 900.
After the sale Weeks, played
the part of an honest man and
sent the engineer friend $500,
keeping the same amount him
self. The other engineer was as
greatly surprised as Weeks at
his unexpected good fortune.

CHAPTER XVI.
A Matter of Life and Death.

When the chief engineer of the Olive
Branch at last put off from the ship for
the shore in response to Capt. Doves
second and still more peremptory mes
sage he took the tiller of the boat HIM
self and steered straight for the water
gate of the castle. In one OF his pockets
he had a rusty key, which presently serv
ed to turn it's creaking lock.
He had left his coat in the boat and
ordered the boats crew to await his re-
turn. And he made his way with ac-
customed steps, almost noiselessly in his
rubber-soled shoes, up the sloping under
ground passage which leads from the
long disused water gate toward the gun
room, which long ago was the armory Of
the castle.
once he halted to strike a match. It's
feeble light showed him the rough rock
walls and roof of the tunnel, the uneven
slope underfoot worn almost smooth by
nefarious traffic long since at an end
He advanced again, cautiously, till he
came to the brink of broad, gaping
chasm, which, but for a couple of care
lessly carpentered fir trunks stretching
across it, would have closed that path
way effectually against him or any one
attempting to enter the castle by stealth,
as he was doing.
He tested that makeshift bridge as we'll
as he might before crossing it, Half way
over cold, damp breath from the depths
beneath blew out another match he had
struck as he started. A muted gurgle and
squatter that came uncannily to his ears
told of the subterranean tide crawling in
to cleanse again the far floor of the pit
below, which had so often in the past
served for charnel house. Creeping
over the tree trunks he shrugged his
shoulders as that thought passed through
his mind. and drew breath Of relief as
he stepped on to the solid rock on the
other side.
From there the way to the steps at the
gunroon1 entrance was clear, and the old
iron gates above and below were both
wide. as he discovered by sense Of touch.
He set an ear to the panel beyond to find
out whether the gunropm was occupied,
and heard only long-drawn groan. that
seemed to come from somewhere behind
him. He descended the steps again, lis
tening intently.
Another safety match sputtered and
broke into blue light in his tremulous
fingers. He saw that the bolt on the
outside of the cell door at the foot Of the
steps was shot. and judged that there
