~ AN FRANCISCO, June willie
Richie IS announcement that he
will be ready to defend his
lightweight laurels on July 4
has restored him to good standing with
the western sports. Ritchie and his
manager talked so vaguely as to future
ring plans while the champion was
touring the country that the opinion
was formed that he would delay his re-
turn to the ring Just as long as he
could.
The shilly.shallying methods Of Will
lie and his manager caused a deal
of harsh criticism and consequent loss
of popularity, and it is Just possible
that Ritehie deemed it cyypedient to sit
up and take notice of public opinion.
Unless some stumbling block ap-
pears, Joe Rivers will be Ritchie's g OPP.

contest will be handled by the Tuxedo

Now it is said that poor Richie was

be called to subdue tendency to fever
and extreme nervous tension.

Weight Question Up.
The prospect OF hitch in regard to
the weight has given rise to arguments
as to how far a champion can dictate
in matter of that kind. Some of the
sports hold that champion must de-
fend his title under weight conditions
exactly similar to what prevails when
it is for the champion to name the
terms.
Many who object to the latter view
say that if every succeeding champion
had right to set a new weight limit
the high water mark would encroach
upon the middleweight boundaries after
a while. To this the reply is made
that if Ritchie makes any change at
all it would not be in actual poundage,
but merely in the time Of weighing in.
This is classed as an evasion, it being
pointed out that If the weighing hour
is put back, ringside poundage must of
necessity increase.
A hint has been thrown out that If
Nolan attempts to fix this matter ar |
bitrarily, Rivers will withdraw from
the match. IF anything like that hap

but on the face Of it the match has a

grounds for supposing that Wolgast has

VARYING VIEWS OF BEAUTY
Gymnasium Professors and Artists
Differ Widely on Point Long the
Subject Of Controversy.

The exultation of women over the
appearance of numerous examples of
the perfect form of the Venus of
Milo in our colleges has been heard
in London, and Sir James Linton, an
artist of credit and renown, has met
it with the brutal declaration that
modern woman is degenerate from art
forms. He has had many models. He
has found them all warped more or
shoes they suffer from.
As the reports of perfect women
come from the directors of gymna-
Sums in our colleges we have here q
controversy of experts. Is the gym
mast that teaches young woman to
punch a bag and do a trapeze act q
better Judge of beauty than an artist
who poses her to model a Venus? The
gymnast resorts to measurements. He
gives exact figures of height, weight,
bust measure, hip measure, length OF
limb and the rest. These" he SAYS.
"are almost exactly the same as those
of the goddess from Milo; therefore
the model girl must be as perfect as
the ancient" But the artist does not
measure. He sees, or misses, subtle
curves and graces that are beyond the
reach of the measuring tapes. He de-
mands a beauty unwarped by corsets.
a foot unsoiled by shoes. He doesn't
find it. So while the gymnasiums are
filled with mutations of triumph, the

new INCOME TAX
STARTS AT $4,000
Elaborate Provision for Gradu-
ated Payment System in
New Tariff Bill.

Washington, D. Concluded in the
Democratic tariff revision bill is an
income tax section, which would re-
qufre every resident of the United
States who earns more than $4,000 a
year to pay tax Of 1 per cent. on
his earnings in excess of the exemp-
ton. This would not compel the man
who earns only $4,000 to pay tax,
but 1t would demand that one who
earned $4,1O0, for example, pay into
the government treasury an annual
tax of per cent. on 500. or ST..
The bill also would provide higher
rates of taxation for persons with
larger incomes, adding surtax of
per cent. additional on earnings in ex-
cess of $4,000; per cent. additional
on earnings in excess of $4,000, and 8
per cent. additional on earnings in ex-
cess of 100000.
How Surtax Would Be Imposed.
Under the surtax provisions the man
who earns $4,000 would pay to the
government each year at the rate Of
/ per cent. on 10000 $4,000 exempt.
or $3.50. II he earns $4,000 he would
pay 1 per cent. on $4,000, and 2 per
cent. on $4,000, making his annual
tax $500. The person with a $4,000
income would pay per cent. on $751;
600 and 2 per cent. on 10000 total
tax of $760. The man with an income
Of 100000 would be required to pay
1 per cent. on $4,000, 2 per cent. on
$4,000, and per cent. on $4,000,
which would be $1,000, bringing his
total income tax to S2260. Anyone
with q net income of a million
would pay this $2,26o on his first
100000 and in addition he would pay
per cent on 100000, which would
bring his total tax to $S8,260.
This bill also would re-enact the
present corporation tax law, imposing
a / per cent. tax on the earnings Of
corporations, stock companies, insur-
ance companies and the like, but 1t
would exempt partnerships. This is
a nat tax. there being no graduated
scale as the earnings increase. The
few changes from the present corpo-

Soon they came to the top, and stood
therefor a moment only. The wind
was blowing gale, and almost swept
them off the mountain. Breathlessly
they dropped down behind some rocks,
until, partly warm and with recovered
breath, they were able to climb over
the great boulders farther along the
ridge toward the summit. It was BIT

them. They crept over the rocks.

time they stood beside the pile of
stones that marks the summit of Gray

from the wind, they awaited the dawn
of the new day.
The sky was dull and gray and for
bidding, but soon in the east there
crept up a faint rosy glow. Then pink
streamers stole up into the gray sky,
deepened in color, rose more rapidly,
and over the mountain below Gray
back came the great golden ball we
call the sun. It's rays came streaming
across the snow to the Four, and they
watched peak after peak catch the

to the Wiley, and knew that new day
had begun.
In the morning light the Four looked
far out to the desert seen the night be-

SETTLES
TWO FINAL PLACES
Climbers and Red Sox Assure
Themselves of Positions in
First Division.
By SENATOR"

Two final places were determined
yesterday. When Dutch" Leonard
held the Griffmen to two hits and
shut them out, to o, the Red Sox
cinched their grip on fourth place and
the Griffmen settled that second place
contest when they hammered Earl
Moseley in the fifth and finally hung
up ludicrous victory by a score of ii
to 3. So, you see, everybody was
happy.
Joe .Boehling ascended the mound
for the home team in the second and
was allowed to fling five innings. The
home team led then. 3 to 3. and so he
was yanked in favor OF Tomasso
Hughes. Two frames did for him. Rex
Dawson, and Doc Hedgepeth each
flinging one frame. Boehling's sup
port was weak but Moseley's wild
ness proved of assistance to the home
team and settled the honors.
On three walks and two singles the
Griffmen Tailed three runs in the
opening inning. They grabbed an
other in the third and then fell all
over Moseley in the fifth. Two walks
and four hits gave the Griffmen fve
runs and second place in that frame.
Bill Carrigan allowed Harry Hooper
and Duffy Lewis to try their skill on
the mound. Hooper kept his oppon-
ents runless in two innings; showing
a sewing circle curve and chicken
wing movement. Lewis double wind
I'D was great. The Griffmen scored
two runs off 1t.
The game? Oh, it was a joke, Here
are the official details:
