Looked Down on BY All.
Some of the criticisms Of Mr.. Page
in the review of his book follow:
I'VE found that Nicholas Worth.
the prOfessed author of the book, was
man whose environment in the
South had evidently been among per
sons who were not recognized in that
section as typical-in fact who had
no social recognition whatever. but
who lived to themselves and were
looked down upon by whites and
blacks alike.
There are scenes in this book that
are so coarse that we will not bring
them into this review. 1t is sufficient
to say that they were used to yilify
the white race.
Nicholas Worth and his kind new
er stood socially high in the South;
he was no gentleman; his associates
were not gentlemen; his antecedents
had a defective sense Of the differ
ence that exists between right and
wrong.
Nicholas Worth holds Confederate
NeLtIeill5 III utter contempt, and
throughout his book Confederates are
roundly abused, and he also abuses
their organization and other Southern
patriotic bodies, such as the Daugh-
ters Of the Confederacy. Nicholas
Worth denies that there was any in
telleCtuality among the women of the
South. He frequently speaks of the
lack of culture of all the people
among whom he was reared.
Ashamed of Section.
Nicholas Worth, the Southerner.
is ashamed Of being a Southerner. He
holds that there is no negro social
problem. He does not find objection
able the marriage of a mulatto girl to
a white man. He meets the negro
woman on the terms of equality.
The book now becomes important
because of Mr. Pages position as the
Ambassador Of all the American peo-
pie to Great Britain. In London the
book is being hailed as a true express
sion Of the South, for Mr.. Page was
born in the South, and they naturally
suppose that a Southern President
appointing a man Of Southern birth
has appointed a representative
Southerner."

GEORGE DUNCAN
F fastest PLAYER,
DECLARES EVANS
He Asserts That Americans Have
Learned Much by Watching
English Experts Game,
Bv "Chick' Evans.

~HICAGO. Nov 25-Britlsh sof
publications are 81 m p Y
crammed with pictures and ac-
counts of George Duncan's victorious
season. One magazine has called
him the man Of the year, for, after
a bad start in the British open, he
has gone from one victory to another.
giving Joy to the heart Of Scotland
and in a measure breaking up the
great triumvirate, 1t is true tina;
Duncan's play fell off in the Belgian
championship, for he finished fifth
and lost his title, but he merely eN-
changed it for the French open, which
he PLAYED in his very best style.
Americans are particularly inter
ested in Duncan's game, for many of
us watched 1t with an eye to future
prof1+ when he came to America, and
we hope We shall see him in America
next year with all Of his honors full
upon him.

rem Wood and I played Duncan and

wood, defeated them in one round,
and we were not too much cast down

By Ed w. Smith.
T is not generally known to the

II
great general public, that takes
an interest in such things,
but ii is fact none the less, and
freely admitted by the man most
concerned In the matter, that Bill
~ Evans, one of the best umpires
in either maj r league, was the
real force that made Johnny Kill
bane champion featherweight Of
the world Johnny thinks so, and
perhaps Evans is bit too modest
to admit II. Here's the story as
II was told to me by close friend
OF kilbane and substantiated in
every way by the close friendship
between the umpire and fighter.
John PATRICK kII6ANE was
J a young man around Cleveland
with a reputation for being
sprightly and clever person in al!
that pertains TO ring matters. but
he hadn't made his presence felt
during the first two years or so
Of his career, excepting a 3 a ready
opponent for his namesake, Tom
my Kilbane, whom he battled four
times In all. This decided the
championship Of the Kilbane fam
lily all right, but 1t didn't furnish
more than ordinary amusement
for the fight fans.
IOHN PATRICK had higher as
J pirations and sighed for the
usual orlds to conquer, but they
seemed far away and he had diff
iiculty in convincing the fight pro-
motors that he was worth spend
ing transportation on. So for a
while the worlds seemed far away
and Johnny remained in the lit
tie precincts Of Ohio battling
those who came within range A.
last he got to Boston, and there
found engagements with Bobby
Tickle. who hasn't been heard OF
much since, and Al belmont,
young fellow who had boxed the
best Of them with considerable
success Now for the Tickle bat
tie Johnny was handed the lus-
cious sum of $40 and for belmont
but little more, and by the time
he had beaten both Of these boys
he discovered that he Just about
could get back to Cleveland. When
he did land in the home town lie
was crying mad at himself and at
the fighting game. Then and

BR|CKLEY WOULD
GIVE HARVARD AN
EDGE ON CHICAGO
Outside of FuIIback Position,
Rival Teams Appear To Be
Evenly Matched,
Bv Frank G. Menke.

i 1
Just because the gentlemanly
football rule makers failed to
j provide for a worlds series bat
lie between the winning football
teams In the East and West, the
question arises to-day: Which team
IS better-Harvard, the Eastern
champion, or Chicago, the Western
winner?
The question is one that will nevel
be answered by a test, nor in any
other satisfactory way The persons
east Of the Alleghenies will tell yoG
hat Harvard is the better team But
hats because they never have seen
The Chicago Maroons in action. But
Western folks who have seen the
wonderful Chicago aggregation tram
pie all it's rivals but never have
Chicago their choice.
CHICAGO. like Harvard. went
~ through the season without de
feat. 1t rolled up big scores on the
weaker teams that it engaged in
practice games" and then obiterat
ed Minnesota, its rival for the cham
pionship honors, 1t followed this feat
with a final victory of the year ove-
Wisconsin, 10 to 0, although the Wis
COnsin college sent a powerful aggre-
cation into the field.
Harvard engaged in nine combats
during the season, and won them all.
1t rolled up 225 points against u for
its opponents
THOSE who have seen both teams
in battle say that, outside the full
back position, the teams stack VI
nearly even in ability. Pierce, the
chicago fullback. is one of the great
est men that ever played the posi-
Brickley, regarded by everyone wAl
back in the games history.
Gray and Norgren. the Chicago
backs, are a wonderful pair The,
demonstrated their open field running
ability a hundred times during the
past season. Both seem to be supc-
rior to Bradee, the Harvard back, bu'
neither is looked upon as the equal O

SPORTING COMMENT

there he decided to renounce the
whole thing and pass up boxing,
get himself job and settle down
to the safe and sane II narrow
and prosaif life at home.
THAT was in the early part of
4 1911. and Johnny went to Billy
Evans, then a Cleveland sporting
writer, with his troubles. Evans
thought he saw tremendous posi-
bilities in the young fighter, and
in fatherly talk tried to dis
suade him from quitting. This he
partially did, and little less than
a year later, in the ring AT Yer
non, Cal, Johnny Kilbane fought
and defeated Abe Attell for the
featherweight cha pionship of
the world. This title Johnny still
holds and is liable to- for some
time TO come. Johnny now is "A
years cid. and undoubtedly at the
very top of his ring power.

JERE'S the dope on Ambrose
ii Mcconnell, fresh from head
quarters.
1t has been announced duly that
Atlanta was trying to get Andy for
second baseman next season. There
was a little misunderstanding as to
whether the hitch. if any lay with
the Toronto ball club Of the East
ern League, or with Andy himself.
1t is not believed there is any hitch
but if there is, it is not with the To
ronto club. The purchase papers went
forward Monday night. and Andy
belongs to the Crackers.
Now it is up to Ambrose
nF course Andy may get fussy and
~ decline to move South People
have done that before. In that event,
the sale would be considerably null
and void, under the existing ruling by
the National Commission-and a very
proper one, too.
But there is no intimation al pres
ent that Andy will pull anything like
that. Andy knows this is good
league, and that this is a good town
anybody will tell Andy that it has
it on Toronto four to five ways from
the Jack.
Still, as has been remarked, it's up
to Andy,
NOW some more dope on Ambrose
~ since it looks as If he's Crack

We looked up some data on Mr.
McConnells career with the White
SoX. and we find it to have termi-
mated in a blaze of glory in the

PARCEL POST WILL
BOOST TRUCK SALES
Local Dealers Must Use Motor
Delivery to Compete With
New System.

Although / am not prophet, am
quite willing to make one guess as to
!, the effect of the new parcel post law
says one of the big motor truck max
ers of the country. MY conviction is
that ii. will cause the early motorizing
of all classes of delivery.
I'm the first place the Government
itself viii use motor trucks TO gather
and deliver this new class of mail.
Horses may be used here and there at
first, but it will not be long before their
inefficiency will be demonstrated. Then
the express companies, in order to COM
pete with the package-carrying venture
of Uncle Sam, will try to outdo him
in efficient service. That means thou
sands of more trucks.
Now, with the sale by mail fellows
enjoying such rapid delivery advant-
ages, the local dealer to the trade must
meet competition with the same sort
OF enterprise. His watchword must be
service and service Is synonym for
quickened the manufacturer and job
ber who expect to sell him goods must
likewise cut out unnecessary loss OF
time =
This motorizing of delivery will
bring much wider benefits than the
quicker delivery of goods. 1t means in
evitably a speedier realization of ma
tional good roads. Thus. every one u.s.
ing highways, whether for business or
pleasure, will praise the day that de-
veloped the commercial automobile"

ARRAY At EXHIBIT
Bergman & Williams Prominent
in Washington Circles Sew
eraI Years.

One OF the most attractive exhibits
at the automobile show next week will
be that of Bergman & Williams, agents
here for Harley-Davidson motorcycles
J. S. ,Berryman, head of the firm, has
been prominent in motorcycle circles of
Washington ever since the little
brother OF the automobile" was first in
troduced in this city. He Is a member
of the National Capital Motorcycle Club
and takes an active interest in the
sport end Of the motorcycle business.
The Harley-Davidson motorcycle has
enjoyed great popularity for years. Ten
years ago when the Harley-Davidson
Motor Company, of Milwaukee. brought
out its 3i4-horsepower motor, other
manufacturers and riders of the then
popular IL and 1A-horsepower type
called 1t a monstrosity. The machine
proved TO be so universally satisfactory
that other manufacturers I'm turn were
forced to manufacture motors of like
size. few years later the company
brought out a still larger motor. A.
horsepower machine, which set a new
standard for motor size.
Two years ago the company became
convinced that still larger .motor, IL
properly designed. would render even
more satisfactory service than the 4
horsepower type. The Harley-Davidson'
designers commenced work on a new
model with this idea in view. Finally
satisfactory type was evolved and
built. Detail after detail was worked
out until year ago when their en-
gineers became convinced they had de-
veloped really successful 5-horsepower
motor. The machine has created a
furore in the motorcycle world
The Harley-Davidson Motor Company
Is said to be the largest manufacturer
of single cylinder motorcycles in the
world. Last-year IL claimed to have
built more than any other two manu-
facturers combined. The 1913 output of
5-25 singles alone will aggregate close

HOPE CONGRESS GIVES
ROADS ITS ATTENTION
American Automobile Associa-
ton to Meet in Washington
in March to Discuss Issue.

That the Sixty-third Congress will de-
vote much time and attention to the
establishment of national policy of
road building is the fond hope of motor
car drivers all over the country. What
that policy will be is yet to be deter
mined
Having in mind the establishment of
a safe and sane policy of highway con-
struction, the second Federal aid good
roads convention has been called by
the American Automobile Association to
meet in Washington March and Z,
primarily to concentrate the thought
and crystalize the good roads sentiment
Of the country at large along practical
and equitable lines of Federal participa-
ton in road building.
Every State will have official repre-
sentation at the convention through a
delegation named by its governor. 1t Is
expected the convention will bring to-
gether the greatest aggregation of good
roads advocates ever seen in the United
States. Washington motorists. and the
various business organizations are plan
ming to give the delegates a warm well
come.
