(Tnder date of March %, 1879
"Here is a work of reference that
will no doubt receive the seal of
popular approval. 1t contains a
marvellous amount of up-to-the-
minute information on the most
diverse subjects. The mythology
of ancient Greece elbows American
politics of 1912. Scientific theories,
industrial processes, natural and
artificial products, religions and
PHILOSOPHERS, men and manners, all
are ingeniously defined, explained
and described in paragraphs aver
aging little more than a hundred
words. The addenda consists of
commercial and legal terms, famil-
lar illusions, famous characters in
poetry and prose, the gist of patent
and copyright requirements, postal
information. automobile and avia-
ton terms, a chronological list Of
the worlds greatest events, and
many other features of popular in
terest. As a book for the family
table, it will doubtless be constantly
consulted by old and young"

RICHARDS WINS

On Friday night the feature race
VIII be the Cracker Sweepstakes,
named in honor of the local ball club.
The exact conditions of this event
have not been decided upon, but the
on the local track.
The idea of lengthening out the
race is to give the endurance riders a
chance. 1t is apparent that in the
spirits only Mcneil and Graves have
a chance with Richards. Tuesday
night Mcneil lost a ker- plunker out
of the flip flop thatd iasticates his
Simms magnetic and couldn't ride his
Jap while Graves new motor devel-
oped the asthma, complicated with a
catarrhal cough, and IL wouldn't run
either. So It was all Richards, and
he romped in the Sweepstakes and
the Purse, though they managed to
keep him pocketed in both events long
enough to produce some thrilling
stuff
Friday night Richards viii find that
sprinting ability is at a discount and
endurance the thing. He will find the

pie Of others
The riding in the Sweepstakes finals
Tuesday night, up to the last couple
Of laps, WAS the most sensational that
has been seen. For lap after lap the
four riders swept around the track at
terrific speed. with hardly a half-inch
separating them. One sweTve car
ried George LoCkner up on the per-
pendicular boards, where he rode for
an eighth of lap, getting down again
all right and staying in the chase,
despite that terrifying experience.

has another fighting champion,
but doesn't know il. At least
this is what Tom McMahon, of Spring
Valley. says. and he is in deadly earn
est about It, too. Tom himself is
the man referred to, and he believes
that he has good chance with any
Of the heavyweights. As a matter
of fact, he has more than held his
own with Gunboat Smith in a ten
round contest, and cites the fact that
Smith has been automatically dodg
ing and backing ever since a return
encounter was suggested.
TOM passed through the city the
other night on his way to his
home town 70 take a little rest from
the arduous campaigning that he has
been going through in the East dur
ing the last nine months. You've
heard of Spring Valley, haven't you?
It's the town made famous by tho
Billy Papke wallop and remained on
the athletic map until one day Bill de-
cided that the place was hardly big
enough for him and moved on to

most valuable advertisement, and now

agement of Jimmy Dime, Of New
castle, Pa, and during his Eastern
campaign always was known as a
Pittsburg man because he fought 80
often there at Dime's Club. He wants
the whole thing changed now.
TALKING Of his career in a modest
way Tom said that Smith never
had thing on him, and that while
ono of the Gunboat's Long Toms"

I've hopes that they'll keep their
promise. but l don't care to box any
more till September, as l intend to
remain all summer at home, l may
go through with a July 10 match at
Peru with Marty Cutler, but l don't

TOM is a likable young fellow and
looks as If he possessed tremen-
dous power in that big frame of his.
He weighs at the present time ex-
actly 200 pounds, fully clothed, but
says that 1t would not take much
work to fit him for an encounter. His
best fighting weight is $50. which
Tom thinks is fully enough. If a man
is only good enough. Billy Papke

Four Ready to Battle Richie
Two Chicago Boys After Title Go

A ND Packey McFarland's friends?
Why, they simply wave you off
and walk away If you attempt to
say that Willie is to be mentioned
on the same day with Packey. eThey
simply won't have Ut that rthe coast
lad has one chance in ten Of whip
ping the pride Of the yards, and ii
is well to be careful how far you at
tempt to carry your end Of the argu-
ment, too. The question Of weight
isn't a strong one to bring up with
them, either. And If you try to say
that Packey, while great at ten
rounds, doesn't fancy the marathon
route they have on the coast, you
are just as apt to get into trouble.
A FTER sizing up the situation how
n is one going 10 get away from
the Leach Cross end of the argument,
either? How can any one figure him
out OF the running after his wonder
full victory over the meteoric Bud
Anderson-a victory so ones sided and
decisive as to leave not the slightest
doubt in anybody's mind? Cross de-
serves the highest praise for the re-
markable showing he made in this
battle, coming back as he did after
terrible slump some months ago,
during which time It looked as If
every man in the country who got
a chance would whip one over on
him.
DON'T forget that Freddie Welsh,
- the English champion, is very
much in the running, too. Nobody
has any right to count him out Of
it simply because he is a Briton and
comes from a country that hasn't
produced a good heavyweight since
Charley Mitchell's day. We can not
see nineteen out Of twenty of the
British fighters. but here's one that
stands out a mile or so, and if he
ever gets a chance at the topliners
he's going to prove 1t, too.

- things at the present time, il
Willie Richie anticipates following
up his great work and giving some
Of the other chaps a crack at his
crown there are at least four of them
who are capable OF giving him the
merriest kind of a game Surely
Leach Cross is the card out there
now, Packey always has been, Welsh
ought to be, and Britton might be
made one.

CHICAGO, ILL. July 9.-You'd
naturally think that with all
of the battling that the merry
old lightweight class did on the big
holiday the air would be a bit cleared
and that most Of the arguments that
made these battles possible would
be wiped off the slate Most of them
are, but we are Immediately present
ed with some new ones. and they
are just as biting and as full OF pos
sibilities as were all the discussions
prior to the July battles. Just duck
your head into a bunch Of fight fans
when they are tanning and ask the
simple question: who's left now
for Willie Richie to fight?" and you
can get about as fine an argument as
you ever expected in this life. It's
worth irving. anyway. especially if
you haven't any other use for your
time.
CHICAGO fight fans never will get
over the idea that two young
men Of this town by the lake haven't
a grand chance with the Californian
whose classic brow is now adorned
with the mythical crown. Until
Rltchle WHIPS either Jack BrittOn or
Packey Mcfarland, either or both,
there always will be arguments here
that he isn't really the greatest OF
them all at 1897 is It 1874 pounds
now?-and that Chicago never was
treated fairly by the opponents for
the champ At least that's the way
the local followers of the game, stanch
to a man to either the North slider or
the man from Garfield Boulevard are
arguing.
RRITTON disposed of Charley
- Whites pretensions for the time
being at least The decision went
against White, and though it might
not have been a good one, as the
astute Nate Lewis says, it is a de-
cision nevertheless and already Is
in the record books for all time. Brit
ton has a host Of friends around
town who believe he is really the
greatest Of them all at 1873 pounds.
and even the recollection Of the shade
that Packey Mcfarland got over him
in ten rounds in New York doesn't
chill their enthusiasm. There always
is the weight alibi for them on that
affair.
