we cannot fall for without some words
of comment
1t is very probable that Johnson
during the last four years has soaked
up enough ''fiz water to float q small
sized navy Yet it is ridiculous to
think that these excuses have made
such inrOads on his system that he
has dragged himself down to MOran's
class.
Granting the colored champion is
not the man today that he proved to
be on that eventful afternoon at Reno.
it is safe to say that he is at least
one-half as we'll equipped both men
tally and physically as he was that
July day.
Who then can say that he is not
due for more consideration than to
be placed in the class with an mex
perienced white-hope?
Moran is nothing but a white-hOpe
and at that he is not the qualities rep
resentative of this ill-assorted class.
Luther Mccarthy administered q very
bad beating to him. while GunbOat
Smith or several lesser hopes, If
given the chance, would probably take
his measure.
The contention of his press agent
is that Moran has improved so rapidly
under the watchful eyes of his handl-
ers that today he is a far different
fighter than the man who faced Nc
Carthy. Even if this is true and we
have no reason to believe that he has
not improved, it would take years OF
hard, consistent training along with
many gruelling ring battles, to give
him the necessary experience and
polish that he would require if he
wished TO make an honest effort to
wrest the title from the Big Smoke.

MORAN MAY NOT
GET CHANCE To
FIGHT JOHNSON
Paris Fans Are Said to be Op-
posed to Bout as 1t Has Too
Many Angles That Are At
tracing Suspicion.

There is a strong probability that
the much heralded encounter between
LIP Arthur Johnson and Frank
Moran for the worlds heavyweight
championship June p in Paris may
not take place as scheduled; at least
this is the latest report emanating
from the French capital
The report that reaches these shores
is that the French authorities are
much opposed to the meeting of these
two fighters. Therefore, in order to
block the proposed bout they have
circulated a rumor to the effect that
if the promoters persist in advertising
the proposed battle they will take
steps TO deport the colored champion
from France, on the ground that he
is an undesirable alien.
Whether the French authorities Will
pursue this course of action is a
proposition that only the future can
answer. To many this threat by the
authorities means that the proposed
match will either be postponed or
abandoned for good
The activity on the part of the
Frenchmen to block the meeting OF
these two heavyweights is not caus-
ing any great amount of criticism by
the sport following public In this
country. The consensus of opinion
among promoters and fighters alike on
this side OF the water is that the pro-
posed conflict between Johnson and
Moran will not help to elevate the
game in this country or abroad. In
fact, many view with suspicion the
stories emanating from the camps OF
both fighters respecting the proposed
match.
The fact that Moran, after signing
articles for the bout, Immediately left
for these shores and, before he had
set foot on land, engaged a well in
formed press agent. who has since
billed him for an extensive theatrical
tour with his statement that his fight
with Johnson was going to result in
the retirement Of the colOred demon
from the ring minus his title. has
caused the wise ones to take the whole
matter with a large pinch of salt.

their belief that the match was 70

that were told about JohnsOn's ter
ribly weakened physical condition and
IT was said that the time for real
white-hope TO jump in and wrest the
championship honors from the colored
fighter was at hand. This line of talk
may go very well over in gay Paree'
where time is too precious TO waste
in idle moments of thinking but when
put forward by a we'll paid press
agent on a suspecting American pub
lie, who have been bilked so often by
these false alarms. it is a matter that

the near future. making really an
unjust discrimination.
1t is in reality evidence that the
handicap is unfair in the bowling
game and it offers a premium on in
activity, the worst enemy to the
game. Teach the player that at all
times it is essential for him to earn
his right of superiority over his
competitor, which makes the victory
the sweeter and the honors and
achievement far greater.
ElkS' Leagues Stand Pat.
No material changes were noted in
either the Elks' or Antlers' leagues
operating at the Elks temple, the
leaders in each organization maintain
ing their advantage, although it was
expected that the lead of the clubs
in the van would be materially les
sened. To the contrary, however, the
leaders were favored. Especially in
the Elks' league, where the Charms,
who were serious COntenderS, had an
opportunity to dispose of the leading
HoOfs but instead were repulsed As
a consequence the Tylers passed the
former who are now three games in
arrears Of the Hoofs.
The Antlers received a lot of en-
couraging assurances from their con-
tenders last week as nearly all of the
first division teams were beaten by the
trailers. The Fawns, Tails. Tusks and
Bucks. all Of whom still had a
chance to show, received serious re-
verses. However, the real contenders.
the Prongs and Teeth, retained their
position, two and three games re
spectively behind the Antlers. One of
the interesting features of the sea-
sons race is that the Elks and Buck
tails have been tied or within one
game OF each other during the entire
season but that does not even get
them in the honorable mention
class.
C. A. Clubs Prefer Separation.
One Of the greatest professions in
the city today is the quarrel in the
G. A. club league. On March | con-
ditions were the reverse as at that
period the first six teams were within
three games Of each other. Singers.
Giants and Stars being tried for first
place, Athletics and G. A. C's follow
ing one game behind and the Cubs
one further away, with the Colts and
Tigers close up. Today the first and
last teams are so far removed from
each other that one would hardly ac-
cuse them of belonging to the same
organization.
In the Walther league the Stand
ards recovered from their reverses
of the previous week. who with the
assistance of the Seniors and Ramblers
increased their lead over the Juniors.
The NeVersweats are running parallel
in the matter OF ups and downs with
the Standards but with this difference
that the lot OF the former has been
mostly downs. In only one instance
have the Neversweats been out OF the
cellar, a prosperity they could not en-
dure but the beating encountered last
week is probably sufficient TO keep
them imune from further humiliation.

LOCAL MAT ARTIST
TO MEET CHlCAG0AN

Valdez Zbyszko, the local young
mat artist, has been matched TO meet
Paul Martinson of Chicago at the
Polish Turner hall on Division ST.,
April 9. Zbyszko has beaten the Chi
cago Dane in other recent matches,
but the latter's hackers claim him 90
be in the best condition of his ca
reer and say that the man that
throws him now will have tc be a
near-champion.
The young Polish grappler met him
recently at the Chicago Athletic club
and gave him a decisive beating, pin
ming his shoulders TO the mat in less
than II minutes. This time the
young Pole hopes TO win in less than
even less than half that time.

GOOD MAN IN GOOD PLACE

Again has Anderson cause for con-
graduation in the strengthening OF
her financial institutions. There have
been several changes in the manage
mcnt of the banking houses Of An
derson recently, and the one that was
announced yesterday will please q
great many people.
The Peoples Bank has obtained the
services OF Edward p. Vandiver as
viceipresidept. Mr. Vandiver is a
banker whose career in this city has
made him conspicuous throughout the
state for his success. He is one Of
the most popular men in this section
of the state, and his connection with
the Peoples dBank will strengthen It
great deal. although that Institution
already. hasfnlleh popular and capable
and successful men among its officers
as Lee G. Holleman, H. H. Watkins
and D. O. Brownie! ' "il',.i'f
For some time MIR. Vandiyer has
been urged TO start here trust conf
pany with something like half u mill
lion dollars capital and he said last
night thnt he had taken nu steps In
the mntter and at present is consider
lng it, although it is among the possi-
bilities OF Aggressive Anderson.

We feel that we must speak a word
OF warning concerning the labor or
ganization known as the 1. w. w. We
wish to say that we are not opposed
on principle to labor unions and or
ganizations. But we are opposed in
deepest principle to the I. w. w. This
organization may have many excellent
features. There may be in 1t some
good men. But 1t is radically contrary
to the spirit and religion of our peo-
pie.
The other day a national leader of
the. /. w. W., who Is now in Green
Vile, in public address to the mill
men Of Monaghan. referred to Jesus
Christ. rs the HOBO Of Nazareth. This
,utterance is not merely the expression
OF the irreligion and irreverence of
one man who belongs to the I.sW. w.
If It was, the organization should not
ba held respectable for It, But Il is
characteristic OF the infidelity and
atheism of this goddess movement.
ANY organization, whatever friend
ship it may profess for our mill PEG
pie, that can pour contempt upon the
name OF Jesus .of Nazareth, IS -,un-
worthy OF the slightest recognition In

And make Blease wish that he was

We will put Cole Bloasc in the Mis-

And send him bacl. TO Ncwberry to
To curry Missouri mules and feed

You have often heard the old folks
That every dog will have its day"
And Bleasc has proved that proverb
Is true,
For he is in ahc right church but >the

But some one has filled his eyes with

And back TO his home he will have to

For the road to the senate lie doesn't

Jennings is mayor of 1. hustling town,
But he can't hold the Job of senator
