 Klbane has been severely criticised because of his ring tactics that to some seemed to lack aggressiveness But his style has been no different than that of other champions. They all fight cautiously when they stack up against unknowns. The dub has nothing to lose and everything to gain. Why shouldn't he force the fighting? The champion has nothing to gain and everything to lose. Why shouldn't he fight cautiously, ven if his opponent sizes up only as a very juicy lemon?

Matt Koch a Cincinnati blacksmith has just perfected a spiked horseshoe that may revolutionize the style Of shoes now worn by racing horses. It is very much on the order of spiked shoes worn by printers.
 He said discussing his idea:
 Spiked shoes help sprinters. Why shouldn't spiked shoes help racing horses? With this question in mind I set about three years ago trying to make a spiked horseshoe that would aid the running horse and., increase his speed I believe I have finally discovered the process.
 "I make the shoe the same way any other racing shoe is made and place four spikes in the plates. I had some trouble for a time getting the spikes just right in length. In some of my early eXperiments some spikes were too Ions, others were too short.
 q equipped several horses with the perfect spiked shoes and in pri- vate trials they made mile in two seconds better time than their average record.
 "I believe if the spiked shoe is adopted for all racing hurses it will mean the smashing of nearly every existing race record"

One of the hardest cooling tests for the automobile in California is the twelve mile run up the Santa Anna Canyon to Big Bear valley. It is not only a heavy climb, but at one point the road crosses over itself seven times, but there are deep sand, rough rocks and deep water to negotiate. There is also the changing altitude which causes many cars to miss and sputter, necesstating carburetor ad- justment.

GERMANS CROWD
 OUT THE IRISH
No Longer Do Ireland s Sons Predominate in
 Baseball.
lRy Frank G. Menke.O

New York, July 25.-The Irish seem to be disappearing from pase- ball and their ancient and honorable enemies-The Germans-seem to be morning their way into baseballs nall of fame that once was peopled al most altogether by the Sons of Erln.
 One of the recent lists of averages for the American league shows only two out-and-otu Irish names among list of firty pitchers. This pam was Collins of the Red SoX and Nc Hale of the Yankees. Against these there are fifteen pitchers who nave unmistakable German name S and about six others whose names may be German-and may not. But what ever they are they aren't Irish.
 Forty five pitchers were in the National league list and only four had Irish sounding names-Ragon of the Dodgers, Ames of the Reds and McOuilln and O'Toole of the Pirates. And there is a question as to whether Ames, despite his read hair, is an Irishman. Fourteen real German names appear in the pitching list and there are about seven other pitch CTS whose names seem to have a German flavor.
 In the American league batting list that included all nitters over 200 there were seventy-five names. The Irish had a somewhat better repre- sentation there than in the pitching list but it wasn't enough to give the Irish cause for a celebration for once aga1 the Germans outnumbered them. Tine list showed fifteen sure enough Irish names against twenty real Ger man names and six other names that sounded suspiciausly German.
 In the National league batting list eighty names appeared, and once again in the fight between the Irish and the Germans the former were worted, the out-and-out count being twenty-two Germans against seven teen Irish.

Washington.-John d. Rockefeller,
Jr., son of the worlds richest man,
testified before the House mines COM
mittee about the question Of his moral
responsibility for the industrial strife
which has kept the. coal fields Of
southern Colorado in turmoil for six
months.
After more than four hours of cross.
examination Rockefeller had told the
committee:
That he and three other directors
represented his fathers interest Of
about 40 per cent in the Colorado Fuel
and Iron Company, the central figure
in the big coal strike.
That as = director he had fulfilled
all his interest and responsibility in
the company when he placed the Of
ficers. competent and trusted men,"
in charge Of the -compsny's affairs.
That he knew nothing Of conditions
in the strike district except from re-
ports Of the officers Of the company.
That he favored arbitration In in
dustrial disputes-generally, but that
In the present instance he supported
the officers Of the company in their
refusal to submit the question Of
unionizing the mines to arbitration.
In support Of these conclusions
Rockefeller was kept busy for hours
explaining, defending and arguing. He
asserted that employer and employ9
were "fellow-men and should treat
each other as such," but could see no
analogy between the unionization Of
workmen and the combination Of cap
