CHICAGO-Presiden Charles A.
Comiskey. owner of the Chicago
White Sox. has been very busy
magnate since his return from the
world tour He has thrived on work,
regaining his health and winning
more victories over the Federal
league than have been printed in the
newspapers. Recently the Old Ro-
man has signed nearly every player
of his club the Federals want to long
distance, ironclad contracts. Capt
Weaver, Jim Scott and Joe Benz, who
had Federal league leanings. have
contracted to play for the Sox mag
nate for long terms, according to in
formation CLEANED from trustworthy
sources, and the Federal league will
simply have to quit kicking Comis-
keys dog around unless it courts be-

Reported Dickering with Feds
For several months the names OF
Weaver and Scott have been linked
with alleged chickering's with outlaw
agents. Some of these reports have
been denied and the players even
have been quoted ais favoring the
third league idea, giving the impress.

were swayed by its subtle eloquence
Recently the names of Joe Benz, Ray
Demmitt, Russell Blackburne and Reh
Russell also were linked with gossip
of Federal league overtures in which
these men we're said to be tempted
by much gold to sever their business
relations with the Sox magnate.
The detection of Hal Chase only
served to add fuel to the flames and
cause furry of excitement among
friends of the old Roman. For a time
1t seemed as though the Sox magnate
might lose his whole ball club

OF GAMES .
|. ON COMMERCIAL !
LEAGUE PROGRAM
Business Mems Organization
Win Stage Contests at Moi
liiii and Alexander Field
COMMERCIAL LEAGUE.

Two games are to be played in the
Commercial League tomorrow and
both promise TO be good games. On
Moiliili field the Iron Works play their
first game when they meet the Post
office aggregation. Although the
postoffice team did not show up so
strongly last Saturday against Hall
& Sons combination, yet ii is known
that their team has been greatly
strengthened this last week with the
advent OF their regular pitcher, who
has arrived from the coast. He has
been located in San Francisco the
last few weeks distributing mail from
that point. Kai Lake, who did good
work as umpire last week at Alexan-
der field viii perform the job at Moi
liili, assisted by Lake of the Honolulu
School for Boys.
At the same hour, 3 o'clock, on Alex
ander field, the Bank of Hawaii bunch
meets Levers & Cooke. This will
probably furnish as good a game as
last Saturdays. .when the Bank de-
feated Davies & Go. to /. The vic.
tory OF the telleTs has put lot of
pep into the crowd and they expect
to go through the season with colors
flying.
These games played by the Conner
cial League are all free to the public
and a good sized crowd Is expected
to see both games. It is not often
that the fans can see the class of
ball that was played last Saturday at
Moiliili for nothing.

THE FAME OF LINCOLN

Great Britain his statue is to be erect.

the houses of parliament In the very
center of London. at the heart of the
British empire, replica of Saint eau
dens' great work in Lincoln park. Chi
cago, will testify to the high place our
Civil war president has taken in the
history of civilization. We all know
why.
With the fame goes also the myth
this curious legend that Lincoln was
a "rough-and-ready debater,'' an sun
calmly man." The plain truth is that
he was a man of uncommon natural
ness, dignity and grace; an athlete Of
extraordinary power end endurance.
Some of the photographs of him are
among the comparatively few human
pictures that are inherently decorative.
Truman H. Bartlett proved this some
years ago in an article in McClure's
Magazine, and he cited in his support
such authorities as the great French
SCULPTOR Rodin. In debate and in his
writings Lincoln ranks as one Of the
masters of the English language. His
work is q permanent part Of our lit
erature, and sentence from one OF
his addresses is framed in one of the
halls at Oxford as an example of per-
feet English speech. If you want to
know what debate cso be. read Lin
CONS arguments against Douglas.
Fame sometimes needs nothing but the
truth. and Lincoln's personality was
worthy of his SOUL Golfers.

games, but in every instance Mori

Lieutenant Harbold, athletic officer
OF the 25th Infantry, is very anxious
to make Saturdays show a double
header by playing game between
the coIored soldiers and the Portu-,
guese, the league team that lays off
this week, as an added attraction.
However, there seems little likelihood
that this can be arranged at such
short notice. Manager Paresa of the
Portuguese stated this morning that
he could hardly notify his players in
time, and another reason is the early
hour at which the game would have to
start. Neither players nor fans can
give the time to a double header Sat.

Science counts for great deal in a
boxer. So does instinct-the kind OF
instinct born in good fighting man
tells him what are the intentions of
his opponent without any visible evil
dence. Johnson has this instinct very
strongly developed, and was forcibly
struck by this fact while acting as re-
fierce during the contest with Moran.
American boxers, like American
people, are very practical. They are
not scientific as 4 rule in outfighting,
but recover themselves at mitigating.
Mombardier Wells, unlike the Ameri-
cans, is very scientific for a short
distance. but he cannot work at in
fighting. | am always at my ease be-
fore men like him, and view my
coming conflict with Gunboat Smith

ism. Glorious, unbounded optimism
is the great asset of the fighting man.
All the science and instinct in the
world avail nothing If fighter can
not convince himself that he is going

much of the speed out of him. Per.
haps his training was not severe

big factor johnson is becoming too
old for a boxer.
In front of Moran he was always
marvellous on the defensive, but his
blows didn't respond to his will. How
ever, that didn't prevent him from
winning the match from man who
had very little science and was above
all very slow. When his form was
at its best Johnson would have gotten
rid of Moran in less than ten rounds.
