Boxers Are a Superstitious Lot
Gloves an All-Important Item

was all business"
V on must have had to use whole
beef hide to make some of these
gloves" was suggested by one of those
automatically inclined, and who had
taken the trouble to look into the fig
ures contained in the book.
Yes" agreed Levinson, some of
the champions have big hands. Can't
say who had the largest. But in an
offhand way I'd pick Jim Jeffries or
Gunboat Smith.
THE Gunner has a hand like ham.
When he doubles his fist and puts it
out for inspection, you cease to Won
der why it is that he can hit 50 hard
NO man could have a hand as large as
his and not be able to punch.
Jim Jeffries has a large, but diff
ferent kind of hand than the Gunner
Smiths is long and broad and full of
bones. Jeff's hand is fat and heavy.
1t must measure two inches or more
through the palm.
mo, Jeffries and the Gunboat didn't
wear the biggest gloves,p continued
Levinson in reply 10 chance remark.
That distinction goes to Stanley
ketchel. The regulation glove used
in boxing matches weighs five ounces.
That was the kind that Ketchel had to
use in the ring. But the ones he wore
when training weighed twenty four
ounces-almost five times as much as
the ordinary glove. He had to use
such gloves to protect his arms and
hands.
"Ketchel was a rough fellow.
When he got a sparring partner
before him he forgot that he was not
in real HUbt tore in Had his
arms been unprotected he might miss
a swing and break a bone, SO he
wisely used gloves with padding clear
to the elbow. These were the biggesC
gloves l was ever called upon to
make"

CAUSES.

Servias dream of centuries for a
port on the Adriatic was about to be
accomplished in the recent Balkan
war, when Austria Hungary shat
tered it and also forced the Monte
negrins to retire from Seutari.
This intensified the hatred for
Austria that has been in the hearts
of the Servians for 900 years, and
which was actively expressed in the
recent assassination of Archduke
Ferdinand, heir to the Austro- Hun
garian throne. and his wife.
That assassination was the match
to the magazine, and Austria is ap-
parently ready to fight for her desire
of many centuries-control of the
Balkan peninsula to the Aegean sea.
POSSIBILITIES.
Russia has proclaimed herself the
protector of Seryia and of Roumania.
By conquering Servia, Austria and
her ally, Germany would reach the
Aegean sea and thus hamper the
southern Russian ports and COM
merce, Roumania is Russias buffer
state.
If Russia aids Servia-and already
her army is mobilizing-this would
call upon Germany and Italy, as
parties to the triple alliance, to send
their armies and navies against Rus
STA in the aid of their ally, Austria
Hungary.
Then, as members of the triple en-
tente between Russia, France and
England, France and England may

much greater ease and with more

HE|LMANN OUT
OF SHERIFF RACE
AS Evening Star Predicted, He
Has Withdrawn as Candi-
date Before the Primaries.

The Republican shrievalty race en-
tries have been cut down to four, C.
William Heilmann having formally
withdrawn. This leaves Harry B.
O'Connell, j. William Huegel, Ralph
B. Schmidt and William Garrabrants
to fight for the nomination honors.
Schmidt and Cara brandts have al
ready filed their petitions, the former
as Regular Republican the latter
az Republican"
Two weeks ago the the Evening
Star stated, unequivocally, that He'll
roenn would withdraw and Heilmann
promptly rushed into print and de-
clared that he had not the slightest
intention of pulling out of the fight
The Star had been correctly In
formed, however, for Mr.. Heilmann
predictions The following letter ex-
plains everything:
ITO the Voters of Essex County:
After careful consideration and for
personal and business reasons I feel
unable to make the aggressive cam
paign, which Is necessary for ultimate
success. / have therefore decided to
retire for the candidacy for sheriff.
IT wish tic thank my many friends
who SO generously expressed their
good will toward me and hope to
merit the same in the future. Very
respectfully.
&c. WILLIAM HEILMANN."
There is a rumor current that the
Republican County Committee will
within a day or two express in some
way it's preference of sheriff candi-
date. 1t will be either Schmidt or
O'connell, 1t Is said.

Russian and Austrian
Diplomatic Exchanges
Relieve War Situation

ST. PETERSBURG. July 27.-In
spite of the general unfavorable
symptoms In the situation between
AUSTRIA Hungary and Servia and of
the effect produced by the arrest in
Hungary of General Radomir Put
mix, chief of the Servian general
staff, a better feeling was noticeable
here today as the result of yester-
days diplomatic conversations. 1t is
understood that the long interview
between Sergius Sazonoff, the Rus
sian foreign minister, and the Aus
trian ambassador, especially was
responsible for this Improvement of
sentiment. This meeting was de-
sired by both sides.
NJ. Sazonoff's telephone message to
the Austrian embassy, making an
appointment, was followed only a
few moments later by another from
the Austrian ambassador, asking the
Russian foreign minister for an in
terview.

great powers of Europe Germany,
Austria Hungary and Italy on one
side, and Russia, France and Eng
land on the other.
France, at least it's army, is ap-
parently eager for the contest, seek
ing to regain lost Alsace and Lorraine
and to ayenge the war of 1871.
England, which has much to lose
and little to gain, is bending every
energy to prevent general European
war.
Bulgaria may be expected to aid
the dual monarchy to avenge the
wrongs which she believed she suf-
fered just after the war against Tur-
key, when Servia attacked her and
forced her to surrender most of what
her army had won. Turkey is counted
upon to- aid Austria Hungary. while
| Greece, to prevent her humiliation
| by the southwark progress of
Austria, will also support Servia and
the -Slavists.
While comparison of the numbers
in the Austro- Hungarian and Ser
Wan armies makes war between them
seem absurd, Servia believes that her
army,s well drilled, thoroughly disci-
plined and hardened by two recent
wars, will be more than match for
the vastly greater Austro-H Hungarian
army, which has seen little actual
service.
Seryia also counts on the rising
tide of Pan Slavism within the dual
monarchy. And, outside of the ac-
tive aid of Russia. the little king
dom is relying much ON the reported
Indulgence of the Austro- Hungarian
treasury.
