1t is to be hoped that, for their own
sakes, the officers and crew of the gGn-
boat Guerrero at Guaymas read the
daily papers. In that case, Of course,
they will take due notice of the fact that
an %eraoplane has slipped across he Am
erican border carrying a lot of bombs for
the special purpose of dropping them on
the decks of the Guerrero. This aero
plane was captured by nited .UStates
authorities shortly. but III some myster-
lou way it has escaped frosn its captors
and is on its way to drop bombs WHEREBY

COPY.

The Herald has always been very lib
eral in permitting the use Of its col
umns by people who have something i'm
portant to say either concerning them
selves or concerning the general wei
fare. From time to time, however. much
good copy of that kind finds it way to
the wastebasket just because it is not
properly prepared.
If the communication is written with
pen or pencil it should be written legib-
ly. The lines should be far enough apart
to permit interlineations 10y copy-read-
ers, the writing should be on one side
of the paper, and there should be enough
low room for paging or for pasting
sheets together.
If the article is typewriter it should
have twO-line spaces. This should never
be neglected. If there is an error in the
writing, no matter whether it is bad
grammer, bad spelling, or "a Topographic
zeal fault, it is impossible to correct it
without rewriting it. The printer will
not correct it, for he has no right TO
change your copy in any respect. No
one else i'm the office has the time TO
typewrite copy of contributors. How
ever, if you space your lines propely it
will be easy for the copy reader TO cor
rect ordinary mistakes made i'll prepare
ton of the article.
The Herald has been compelled, again
and again, to throw away good readable
matter just because the writer would
not take the trouble to prepare it as it
should be prepared.

In all Of Nelson's big battles he
has shown himself wonder at

This ability to absorb wallops
that would fell a mule Nelson has
combined with an aggressiveness
that has never been equaled in the
history of the ring. In twelve years
of fighting Nelson has never broken
ground. He does not know how to

The Dane will receive more for
his appearance here than was ever
paid for a boxer in Atlanta-twice
more, perhaps three times more.
But he is proportionately that much

~O Judge from the baseball col
umns of the newspapers in
the big league cities, this
vsar is a heavy one for "hold-outs."
vrhin the past few days, however
,evs~a, stars of the diamond have
.;r,raH contracts (notably Wood,
sneaker and Plank, which would
.aar, fo indicate that one by one
..o ho1d-outs are coming into line.
The number Of players still I'M
signed is still very large.
Year by year the clubs find it
mare difficult to agree on terms
with their players. The salaries of
r,avers we're never so high as they
ore al the present time, and the de-
r,ands of some of the stars seem
beyond all reason.
THERE have been cases recently
l Of several players who made
big demands upon the clubs for
more salary than their comrades
called for. who have not been
coaxed to do so. During the major
league meetings last week the sec
rerary of one club told this story:
"One Of our outfielders was given
raise of salary amounting to sew
oral hundred dollars. He promptly
sent back his contract unsigned
and with n letter saying that he
must have more money. We sent
him back the contract and also a
letter saying that the amount orig
iraIly named therein was our limit.
"A couple of days later the out
fielder sent US a very interesting
letter The letter stated thai the
PLAYER would not sign unless he re-
cefved 81, 800 more than our figure.
In the very next paragraph The out
fielder said that he ha6 decided
that $1,000 additional was his low
est figure.
There, YOU see. he had shaved
$500 off the amount in the same
letter No reply was sent, and a
few days later the player wrote
again asking what our decision
was. He did not get an answer.
Along came another letter from the
outficlder, bat our policy OF silence
in the matter was unchanged. One
morning I opened the mail and
there was the signed contract. The
player had been bluffing all along"
IT HE Pittsburg club is one that
has adopted the stand pat idea
with its hold-outs. When Presi-
dent Dreyfuss returned from the
New York meeting he found a let
ter from Manager Clarke which
said:
Il see by the papers that we have
some real hold-outs in the Pitts
burg club. Well, let them hold out;
put it up to them to make the first
move; We'll play ball whether they
report or not 1t is my opinion that
they will be on hand when they are
needed"
is not surprising that there
should be a difference of opin-
ION among ball players and wise
baseball managers as to whether a
'eit hander can play second base

will be able to play second base is
that he is the quickest man with
his hands l have seen on the ball
Geld in my time. He may be trifle
weak at that position, but then,
again, he will make some plays
down there that right handler can
not make.
Il think that he would be much
better than some of the right
handed second basemen we have in
the game right now. ] saw him
play that bag in Philadelphia, and
my players said that they thought
he could play anything on the ball
lot. There have not been many
men who have made a success of
playing the infield who have been
left flanders. But then, again, there
have been exceptions. | think
Chase is one of them. He will
shift with the players, and 1 think
he can touch base runners.
Bill Greenwood, who PLAYED sec
ond base for the Merits way back
in 1884, was one of the best second
sackers in the business. He was a
great ball player. He was a left
handler, but he could play his posi-
ton as we'll as any man l ever saw.
'Hick' Carpenter was a left handed
third Sacker with the Cincinnati
Reds in 1882. Kid Mohler also
made success of playing second
base, and he is left handler. Will
lie Keller broke in as a third base
man, but did not stick to that posi-
ton"
VIZ E now have two newspaper
champions, Luther McCarty
and Johnny Coulon. Hurrah for
the sport writers. If fighters"
won't fight, we are going to have
our champions aRyhow. The well
terweight and middleweight classes
having no real champions at the
head of the list, let's get together.
fellows, appoint couple of no
bodys and back them heavily. We
probably can not make pon-my-
soul to- goodness fighters out of
them, but we can keep the poor
chaps from starving to death or
gliding on brake beams all their
lives. also enrich the stage with
two more bad actors. No wonder
the price of eggs keeps up.
OVER in England our boasted
American prestige in the ring
must look like a hunk of bad cheese
and smell worse. Our heavyweight
champion now under indictment as
a SLAYER, our newspaper heavy
weight champion making a noise
like a dray load of old cans picked
off dump; no middleweight cham
pion, but we have Papke posing as
the real article in France; no well
terweight champion, a feather
weight champion that is PANIED for
his poor work every time he enters
a ring, and last, but not least, a
newspaper bantam champion whose
hardest contest must have been
learning the keys of a typewriting
machine. The British ring is estab-
lished, its heavyweight champion
has travelled 5000 miles to meet
the man who but a few short
weeks ago announced that he
would fight all corners. only to find
himself buncoed, No wonder that
many of the fight clubs in the
country are losing money with such
bunch of ctor-champions as we
have in our ring.

He hasn't nerves like ordinary

his hide is thick, but because he

do not work actively. A blow that
causes a normal a certain amount
