ENGLAND TAKES
DEFEAT HARD
Kecapture Of Polo Cup Gives Spirit
While Defeat in Other Branches
OF Sport Daampens 1t.

London, July 11.-England's recent
defeats in several branches of sport
have done much to dampen the spirit
which rose with the recapture of the
polo cup.
The lawn tennis final was contested
between an Australian and a New
Zealander, an Italian carried off the
D1mond Souls at Henley, and two
American crews fought out the final
for the Grand Challenge cup.
At Setamford Bridge. one American
won the half-mile run and another
captured the highs jump, while two
Swedes were victorious in the pole
vault and the hammer throw, and a
Hungarian was first, a Finn second
and Zane third in throwing the
iavelin.
These defeats led the Daily Mail to
comment gloomily upon the fact that
Englishmen rarely turn potentially
first-rate performer or team or crew
into an actually first-rate accomplish
ment.
ut seems. to be our fate" says the
Mail, "to play games with more en-
thusiasm and to be more often de-
feated at them than any other people
on EARTH"

Fine "Aggie" Exhibit,

1t is doubtful if any state has such
an attractive display OF it's resources
as may now be found in the office of
John H. Page, commissioner of agri-
culture, in the new state capitol. This
department of the state government
is now in it's permanent quarters on
the ground floor Of the large building.
The display is the result of much
study, for in order to present it in it's
most attractive form, the best use
must be made of all available space.
An architect volunteered his services
and not only arranged the display
cases, but designed new ones which
might be placed on the walls. in
this manner the Arkansas grains may
be protected from weevil and mice,
and the fruit display is indeed attract
i've. For many months the officials
of the department have been putting
aside exhibits, saving them for the
new display room. Now that it is
completed they have been brought
from the storeroom, and the magni-
tude of the display will amaze even
the biggest Arkansas booster. The
fruit exhibit is conceded to be one OF
the best. The apple cases are so ar
ranged that they can be filled weekly
with fresh fruit, and ever plate will
show off, no matter how far it is from
the visitor.

SAYS JOHNSON Is
READY FOR DISCARD

New York, July 1i-"Battling Jim"
Johnson, who was the last to box Jack
Johnson before his bout with Frank
Moran, thinks that the big negro
champion is about ready for the dis
card. Jim says that in his opinion,
there is no truth III the report that
the Moran bout was fake" and
thinks that the champions poor show
ing was due to the fact that he is go
ing back rather than to a deliberate
attempt to prolong the bout CT to al
low Moran to make a fair impression.
Jim Johnson made an excellent
showing against Champion Jack in
their bout in Paris, although he was
outpointed, and his views Of john
sons condition should carry weight.

son before his battle with Moran"

"FEDS" TO CHALLENGE
WORLDS "CHAMPS"
James Gilmore, President Of Federal
Ltague, Says Winner VIII Chal-
!enge for championship.

Chicago. July 11.-Some team of
the Federal league will claim the
worlds championship this fall This
announcement, in effect, emanated to-
day from the office of James Gilmore,
president of the league. He stated
that the winner of the pennant in his
organization would challenge the Win
ner Oh the worlds series between the
National and American leagues. II
this is not accepted and it will not be
the winning Federal league club and
a team Of stars from the remaining
teams will playy, and the worlds
championship will be claimed by the
victor.
The Federal league bases its claim
to major league calibre on "'newspa-
per and public recognition" The
National and American leagues, how
ever, are parties to the national agree
ment, and are barred from contesting
with so-calIed outlaw leagues such as
the E'ederals.

them, will be ahead of the Athletics
and increasing the gap at every bound
by the time the month of August has
rolled by.
brief analysis of the Athletics
playing strength in comparative way
seems to us to read about as follows:
Strongest batting club in the league,
best infield fielding in the league, sec
ond to best work in the catching de-
partment, about fourth in all sorts of
baserunning. fifth in outtield fielding
and absolutely last in pitching.
Depend on Vets.
The last in pitching is the part of
this size-up that will find the most
disputants. Bender and Plank are
names to conjure With-yes. names
but names never did much but scare
rival teams after the arm has ceased
to be an efficient tool. That flock oil
youngsters can not be called the
world beating gang prophesied for il
last year, it is almost worthless with
out the two veterans in shape for re-
liable relief duty, and there is no de
nying that Bender and Plank have
skidded considerably. In short, the
Athletics are now a topheavy m
balanced club. Fear in the hearts OF
the rivals is diminishing daily. When
it is finally gone, watch the contend
ers rip the hide off the Elephants ant
toss them out for a careening spin
downward which will be one of the
biggest sensations of sensational
baseball year.
Now once again We ask you tC
kindly postpone that laugh until Oc-
tCher.

SHAMROCkS' LUCK
BEATS The CLEGGS
Pine Bluff Boys Lose 80
Game in Ninth Inning
at Little Rock.

Little Rock, July 11.-An error by
Sanders Of the Cleggs in the last
half of the ninth inning after two men
were out lost the game for the Pine
Bluff lads to the Shamrocks Of the
City league by the score of to 2.
The game was one Of the most eX-
citing and hardest fought ever
played at West End park. Had it not
been for the few boobies made by
the Bluff city lads the locals would
have found it hard task to trim the
up-river lads.
Bell, who was on the firing line
for the visitors pitched an exception
ally fine game and had he been given
the support received by linn, he
would have won in a walk. Bell
struck Out seven men and did not al
low a pass, while his opponent was
hit more freely and gave two passes
Ellis, the crack outfielder for the
visitors proved to be the star of the
game. His fielding was of the big
league sort and he secured two clean
hits, one foY two bases and the other
for three. His base running was also
clever.
The Cleggs attribute their defeat
to the fact that only four of their
regular players were in the lineup.
Some of the best material in their
team was unable to make the trip on
account of the day being Saturday
and they were unable to leave their
business. The remaining number of
men in their lineup were borrowed
from other teams in the Pine Bluff
city league.
The score by innings follows:

BRESNAHAN MAY
BE NEW MANAGER

st. Louis. July 11.-If the federal
court rules in favor of the Federal
league in the Marsans case the st
Louis outlaw club will have a new
manager, it is said here on good au-
thority.
According to the story, Roger Bres-
nahan, the Cub catcher, and former
manager of the st. Louis Cardinals,
will serve Hank O'Day with ten days
notice and will take over the steward
ship of the club now being ruled by
Mordecai Brown, provided organized
baseball loses the Marsans decision.

They Don't Seem Frightened.

Nashville Tennesseean: A few days
ago we referred to the large profits
made Y the textile mills of New Eng
land despite the reductions made on
their output by the new tariff. and now
We learn from the Hartford Times that
the textile manufacturers of southeast
ern Connecticut and eastern Massachu-
setts are getting ready to enlarge their
plants because they are far behind with
orders. The Underwood tariff bill cut
down the duties on all classes of cotton
goods, yet one of the Eastern compa-
MES which manufactures a heavy duck
for automobile tires, is to start up all
its departments on overtime work to
keep up with the demand for that class
of goods. Three other mills in the same
city which produce the same fabric,
have been forced to operate at night to
meet the demand. While the tariff was
being discussed in Congress, we heard
many .oud moan about how the lower.
ing of the wool duties was to bring
about an immediate and disastrous state
of affairs among the mills which turn
out that kind of goods. Senator Lodge,
If We are not mistaken, was one Of
those who protested most loudly, yet
here comes the positive statement that
a company at New Bedford, in Mr..
Lodges state. whose sole output is
blankets, has been compelled to enlarge
its plant at a cost of $3.50, 900 to meet
the demands for its product. When
it is remembered that the present tar
iff duty on blankets is from Is to 20 per
cent lower than in the Payne-Aldrich
measure, it is plain that this New Bed
ford concern is confident of its ability
to meet foreign competition-so conf
dent, indeed, that it is willing to add
more than one-third to its investment
in plant machinery. 1t must be very
calling for the standpatters of the
Smoot, Lodge and Taft stripe thus to
see cold facts knocking smithereens
out of their prophecies of run.

DECLINE OF GOOD READING
Point Made at Educational Association
Convention Would Seem to Be
Well Taken.

The central Importance of reading
was the theme of much of the discus
sion at the recent convention of the
National Educational association at
Salt Lake City. Mr.. Rice. state H.
brary clerk of Wisconsin, told how
that state prepares lists Of suitable
books for rural libraries. and offers
the books at 31.7 per cent. discount.
1t also requires teachers to pass an
examination in library training. which
Mr.. Rice considers more important
that algebra, though the comparison
seems odd. Mr.. Caxton, United States
commissioner OF education, who fol-
lowed, declared literature the most
important of all school subjects, and
observed that any man who will read
thoughtfully four good books a year
will be a well-educated man by the
time he has read 100. That may de-
pend somewhat on the books, for not
all good books reward that kind of
reading, though the greatest usually
do.
1t is, at any rate, a kind of reading
too much out of fashion nowadays,
mainly because there is so much to
read that it is difficult to let the mass
go and concentrate on one author, one
book, n page, one word. A fine old
classical professor used to grow in
dignant at proposals to teach boys to
read Greek like English; it would be
more to the point, he said, if we could
teach boys to read English like Greek.
We a hardly expect them to forget
their mother tongue for the sake of
learning to pay proper attention to the
details of a good book, yet there is
something in this view; much of the
benefit of the classics from be-
ing forced to pay attention to details.
Such careful study is quite possible in
English. but the temptation is to skim
over the surface.
