WOLGAST MURPHY CO

Both Lightweights Practically
Complete Training, Strong
and Confident.
By w. w. NAUGHTON.
crnational News Service.

By International News Service.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 17.-Lighl-
weights Ad Wolgast and Tommy Muir
phv are through with the material part
of their training and II can safely be
said that no two boxers undergoing prap-
aration for a ring event were ever
watched more closely than this pair In
Wolgasts case, In particular, everything
that has been done at the Ocean Beach
camp has been watched and analyzed.
At the same time tab was kept on Muir
ply at San Rafael for the purpose Of
making comparisons and drawing con-
clusions
II might also be said that Wolgast has
been under surveillance ever since he
underwent an operation for appendicitis
at Los Angeles nearly a year and halt
ago II was an unusual circumstance for
a worlds champion, at the height OF nus
career, TO be taken down with an all
ment that made him subject Tor me
will be remembered expert opinion Ia
vored the idea that it would be case
OF enforced retirement for Wolgast, and
so that no time should be lost several
other lightweghts laid claim TO the title
and expressed willingness to defend 1t.
Is Still a Fighter.
But wolgast took hold again and is
nghting still He has parted with bis
championship but under remarkable con-
dltions. 1t was his own, punch and not
the other fellows that deprived him oi
the title. and ever since the one wish
has dominated the wildcat desire To
qualify for return match with Willie
Rltchie, who deposed him as lightweight
king.
None OF Wogast's fights since he came
back into the ring, have satisfied his old
time admirers, and doubt has arisen rs
TO whether insufficient training or some
permanent effect OF the operation has
been responsible for his lack OF strength
and dash
A common sense view OF the situation
would suggest that as few men are en-
| tlrely the same again after such an eX'
perIence as Wolgast underwent the littl'
boxer can hardly be expected to show th'
| full measure OF his old-time vim. Blu

and that all he needed was the oppor

The Cotton CrOp

Atkinson and Lowrey. the well known
cotton dealers of New Orleans, have is
sued a crop report covering conditions in
the different southern groups of states.
They give this interesting summary under
date of August IS:
''We think it safe to say this has been
the most scientifically cultivated crop ever
grown. The cultivation promises to lie
extended much later in the season than
ever before. Being continuously free from
grass and weeds the plant has probably
come nearer getting the entire benefit of
the fertilizer used than any crop ever
raised. These things can reasonably be
expected to have a telling effect upon The
yield. We think it just as reasonable to
make substantial deductions from these
brilliant prospects, on account of the boil
weevil the drought in the west and the
poor stands which undoubtedly exist in
the rather extended areas that had to be
replanted."
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-08-18
First Through the Canal

It is fitting that the Oregon should
be the first American war vessel to
go through the Panama canal. The
historic old ship will come from the
waters Of the Pacific to the Atlantic
and lead her younger and mightier
sisters back to the western ocean.
Many remember the trepidation
that held the hearts of Americans
when the Oregon, with the gallant
Clarke as her captain, doubled the
horn" to take part in the whipping of
the Spaniard. Weeks. were required
for the voyage, and many feared that
she would fall a victim to the fleet
under the command of Cervera. Clarke
and his men did not share these fears
They felt their staunch ship would
prove the match for all the vessels
flying the yellow flag of Spain. But
the rest of the country breathed a
sigh of relief when the Oregon re-
ported her arrival at Jupiter Inlet.
The Oregon is a back number now.
She is outclassed by the modern
dreadnaughts even as she outclassed
the armored cruisers she helped to
sink off the coast of Cuba. History
was made that summer day off San
tiago. The Spanish loss was enor-
NOUS, while only one man was killed
on the American side.
Soft sigh the winds of heaven DER their
grave.
while the billow mournful rolls,
And the mermaid song condoles,
Singing glory to the souls
or the brave.

THE SANDS OF THE DESERT

Z. T. McDougaI in Harper's Magazine
for September.
Sand as feature of desert landscapes
is not so prominent as ordinarily sup
posed. Dunes OF size are to be found
in but few places in America away from
the sea shore. but in northern Africa more
extensive areas are occupied by huge
ridges. One may travel for days without
seeing either a mound or the unbroken
stretches of sand which figure so largely
in literature. Despite these facts, there
is enough of fine particles of dust and
broken rock present everywhere to become
unpleasantly' noticeable in a wind. One
soon becomes accustomed to grit in the
pockets, made aware of it's presence by
the roughened pages of the note book,
and even come to enjoy the Utilization of
having it sift down inside collar and belt.
but when it finds a resting place in foot
gear it becomes really obtrusive. The
least motion of the air disturbs the finer
dust on the surface of the ground, and
with increasing force of the wind larger
particles are lifted and moved along,
pelting and abrading everything in their
path. The downward action of rain and
streams carves mountains and hills into
ridges and gullies, which afford shelters
from the direct action of storms in mois-
ter regions. The wearing action of the
horizontally moving sand blast results in
rounded contours much like. half an egg,
behind which there is no real shelter.
When looking for camping place at
the close of the day, Abou Salem would
maneuyer to leeward of small hill,
seeking the spot in which the least sand
free from it if there was any wind mo-
free from it if there was any wnid mo-
ton. When he came to a quieter place,
which might be directly against the base
of a cliff or out some distance from it,
a few moments pause would be made. and
if the occasional eddy which reached the
place did not carry too much grit, the
baggage would be arranged for the night.
One might begin dinner or unfold cam
era in fancied security, when discon-
certing blast would deluge everything with
a shower of sand which penetrated into
the mechanism of shutters and platehold-
ers of cameras as well as into the re-
cesses of waterproof baggage. The ex-
perence of only day or two was need
cd to learn that fold of cloth before
the face, an expedient readily used when
riding. but making difficulties for the
man afoot.

The Grade Crossings

The reporter need not have men
toned that Opposition is expected"
when the new plans to eliminate grade
crossings come up tomorrow. Bir-
mingham has habit of frequently op-
posing. The aphorism, however true
it may be, that the good of all is the
good of each, is given little credence
here.
Elimination of the grade crossing
will mean an enormous forward stride
by Birminghams These death traps
have been tolerated too long already.
Their toll of life is recurring. When
ever serious accident happens, every
body is aroused and calls loudly for
reform. Then, when a scheme of re-
form is presented, objection to it's be-
ing carried out is raised at once. One
delay has followed another, and the
menace continues as great today as
ever before.
1t is expected that the railroads
will complain. They always do when
it comes to spending money. Private
citizens also will kick. Each wants
the crossings abolished, but each
wants It done at some one else's ex-
|pense.
The city has employed experts to
consider the question and offer solu-
ton which will be the best in their
judgment for all concerned. They
have attempted to view the proposition
from every angle and to safeguard as
far as possible the rights of every
one.
Engineers representing the various
railroads entering Birmingham will
meet Commissioner Weatherly and the
city experts Tuesday The whole ques-
ton will be threshed over again. Mr..
Weatherly says the railroads would
like nothing better than to stand off
on the hill and watch the people of
Birmingham scrap among themselves.
Let it be hoped that this time they
will be disappointed.

The City Tax Rate

M. c. Burke of Tuscaloosa, in his
letter to the editor of The Age Herald,
published Saturday, points out very
clearly what's the matter with Bir-
mingham and numerous other cities of
the state. Mr.. Burke says:
In the matter of taxation, Ala
bama is afflicted with a narrow,
illiberal. mossbacx state constitu-
ton The constitution prescribes
that the towns of Brewton and
Gadsden and so on shall tax them
selves thus and SO. By what au-
thority? BY what right? Civic
pride and public spirit are stifled in
advance. Not suspicion apparent
ly among the trainers of the docu-
ment that in this twentieth century
a municipality, even small one,
may have its own life to lead, it's
own problems to work out, its own
economic ideals to hold aloft before
the world Cities are empha tically
not to be considered simply as
portions of the state whose bor-
dtlS udpptn " iHtiuut lueifL
The problems of no two cities are
identical. The methods with which
these problems must be met may diff
Ger widely. The population of one city
may be more imbued with a spirit of
progress than the people of another.
If municipality wishes to tax itself
to carry on public improvements, it
should be given that privilege.
Birmingham faces grave situation.
AS the months go by the deficit be-
comes larger. The city commission
has cut and pruned until the limit has
been reached. Relief must come by
law Fortunately the thoughtful citi-
zens of the city realize the necessity
for some effective action. The prob
lem is complex, but it will be solved
some day.

pRnxED HIS CLAIM.
, the New York Globe.

From the New Ork SilODe.
While building was in process OF
construction two of the Tiers became
engaged in violent quarrel. So vio-
lent was it that the police were called
in and the offenders taken before a
magistrate. Both of the men were So
-ber and Industrious and good work
men; this, according to the testimony
of the foreman in charge of their work,
who had followed in hopes Of being
able to intercede for them.
The magistrate asked. in astonish-
ment, the cause of the quarrel. II
seems that one man had accused the
other of stealing his coat.
"And l can prove it, too added the
man.
"How? asked the magistrate.
"I always keep my card in the pock-
et,' said the man.
The policemen were directed to
search the garment. But they found
absolutely nothing.
Gimme my coat said the work :
man. 1t was handed to him. He tool,
two dried peas out of the pockets and
held them up triumphantly. "P. p
