You will find no yielding to other

negie Endowment for international
Peace under date of March is, last,

IT'S appeal was as follows:
"The greatest interest of the United
States as a free nation Is to represent
worthily to the world the principles
Of civil and religious liberty and the
public efficiency and well-being which
those principles develop and thereby
to promote the adoption Of these prin-
ciples the world over.
This is Of great material as well
as great moral interest. In compari-
son with this large interest, the inter
est Of the United States in it's coast
wise vessels sinks into insignificance.
BY securing the repeal of that part
OF the act Of congress on the Panama
canal which provided for the exemp-
tion Of the coastwise vessels from the
payment Of tolls, the American peo-
pie would embrace a precious oppor-
tunity to prove that they understood
their highest interest ana recognize
their duty to promote it for the bene-
fit of mankind
1t was the circulation Of this
pamphlet to which Senator O'Gorman
had reference in part, when he made
his recent attack in rae senate on the
endowment.
DR. Scott was excused by the com
mittee with the assurance from him
that he would be at their services at
any time

Wilbert Robinson. the new manager
of the Brooklyn club and late coach of
the Giant pitchers, is always preparing

sole control Of that brigade while with

pitchers imagine they are going to nav
an easy going boss who will let them
loaf, they are due to get a great awak-
ening. Robbie uses what he calls the
kidding system to maintain the twirlers
on edge.

johnson is an absolute stranger to
the national pastime during November,
December, January and February.
While Griffiths' wonderful slabman is
raising his chickens, the case of Russell
presents another picture.
South side fans will remember that
the Texan was of little use to his team
in the last series between the Cubs and
Sox. A bad arm kept the big south
paw on the sidelines after one appear
ance and vel during the games he
pitched while the Sox inc Giants were
touring to the Pacific coast. Russell was
forced to wear a big rubber bandage
about the ailing muscle n to take
daily treatment from Trainer Buckner.
According to many veteran baseball
men the rebel Is taking long chances by
performing as he has in the winter
league Of California.

Someone should dig up a particular

Someone should dig up a particular
kind OF belt for Tommy Murphy. II
there is a fighter in the ring today who
really deserves a title and all that goes
with 1t. it's Tommy. If there's a cham
pion in any class today who has
worked as hard for his prize as "Har-
lem Tommy" has worked he hasn't
been heard from. Tommy. in spite of
the fact that he's never been a champ
and Notwithstanding his failure to pro-
duce bay leaves has a record that will
make any other fighter look like a
cheap loafer. For activity and enter
prise there's very few Of them in the
same class with Murphy.
Tommy Murphy was fighting years
ago when Jimmy Britt, Young Corbett.
Ben Yanger and Eddie Hanlon were
in their prime. He's still going a fast
clip today. while the others have sunk
in their pugilistic graves. There are
those as do say that at the present day
Tommy is going even better than ever
before. For a dozen years OF so he
was a featherweight before growing in
to the lightweight class and in all that
time. although he was a big card. he
never had q chance at the title. Tough
luck soon become the usual rations for
Tommy. II by some sweet chance he

would be signed up for a go with tho
title holder something would be sure
to crab h sketch. But 1t didn't dis
courage Tommy and he kept on fight
ing . When he listed among the light
weights he thought surely he would get
a chance at the belt.
But he never has. He has fought
several of the champs before they held
their title. licking some of them and
holding others to a draw He fought 1
the lightweight class under four regimes
starting in when Joe Cans was the title
holder. and he saw both BAT" Nelson
and AID Wolgast win and lose the belt.
He licked Ad Wolgast before AID was
a champ. Observe that before" He
couldn't get a bout afterward.
Tommy Murphy is the %graybeard of
the ring today. He has seen many
a y%oungster soar up into fame and die
away. Meanwhile he kept fighting on,
always winning andtwith never a chance
at the big encounters. Recently he was
signed to box Willie Ritchie-hurrah,
a chance at the belt at last! Not SO
long as Murphy's jinx was to know
anything about it. When the bout was
afterward called off Tommy couldn't
nave been very much surprised.
He has grown used to that sort Of
thing by now.

HoMEcRAFT COURSES.


In the homecraft course Just insti-
tuted in the wadleigh high school.

practical demands in girls education
Is seen at its best, according to Of
ficials of the United States bureau of
education. The homecraft course ia

date homemaking rather han in adj

work is taken chiefly by students who
do not intend to go to college, but who
wish to make the best use OF their
time while in high school. and it Is
particularly recommended for those
who expect to stay in school only two
years or less.
The purse is both practical" and

In the second year. hygiene and
sanitation are added to the require

chosen from a list which includes mil

also regale themselves with a num-

household design and decoration.
Throughout the course the emphasis
Is on applied. rather than theoretical
knowledge; and the work is so ar
ranged that regardless of whether q
girl completes the four-year course
or leave before she finishes she has
acquired n fund of workable ideas of
direct value to her in the immediate
problems of her life. At the same
