Would 1 shoot Smith against
johnson? Well. my dope is that you
can't shoot man ahead too fast. If
the fellow is there with the goods he
delivers. Smith has just as good a
chance against Johnson as he will
ever have Look at Stanley Ketchel
out West a few years ago. He dropped
into a small town there. Marysville
1t was. and he met Joe Thomas.
AT that time Thomas was the best
welterweight in the world Ketchel
was unknown He took Thomas over
the jumps there in a twenty round
fight. knocked him down and put up a
wonderful fight We brought the pair
TO Frisco later and Ketchel knocked
Joe out. Well, | asked Ketchel who
he wanted next, and he said bringAon
the best
THE record books win bear We out
when ! say that in eight months or so
Ketchel had beaten every good mid
dleweight in the world, including the
Sullivans. Hugo Kelly, Paphe and
Jack O'Brien He had the stuff and
tore right through.
"A fellow tried to argue with. me
the other day about the suckers
Smith has to beat compared with the
old bunch. He made me laugh when
he said the old bunch Why. JEFF
fries made his reputation on old men
All his rep was with men who were
past their prime In the ring Look
them over: There was Peter Jackson,
Jim Corbett. Fitzsimmons and ChOyn-
ski The only young men Of any ac
count that jeff fought were Tom
Sharkey and Jack Johnson He won
two close decisions over Sharkey and
was shown up by Johnson He fought
men who had experience. but lacked
youth Smith, on the other hand. is
beating Young fellows who are
strong. ambitious and dangerous but
who lack experience, | think that
beating the Young ones Is far better
than knocking over old ones.
I'm string with the Gunboat until
he's Knocked and I've watched him
enough now 10 know that II will
take a good one to knock him"

stages of the tournament, Again, all
the matches being played at eighteen
holes, it is ouiteA necessary to get
started right at the beginning of the
match, as there is no chance to loaf
along for the first few holes with the
feeling that you can settle down to
business a little later and pull the
match out of the fire The only way
to get" your opponent is to start
from the very first hole and stick to
1t all the way round.
Ground to Affect Americans.
There Is no doubt that the Ameri-
can players will be somewhat af-
fected by the change from inland to
seaside courses. Nearly all our courses
in America are OF an inland nature,
that is. the soil is heavy and con-
siderable amount of ii can be taken
with iron shots with perfect safety
In England and Scotland the soil is
of a more sandy and friable nature
particularly Sandwich and Prestwick
where the amateur and open cham
pionships viii be played, respectively,
consequently greater care has to be
taken with iron shots, particularly
with short approaches. to avoid duff
ing"
The question of climate is not LA
Bile to bother the American players
very much. A great deal has always
been said about getting acclimated
but | have never heard any American
golfer complain much beyond the fact
that the winds are much more severe
than we are accustomed to have in
the United States. This may posi-
bly, be partly accounted for by the
reason that nearly all of our courses
being inland, are sheltered either by
trees or hills, whereas the courses Of
Great Britain over which the cham
pionships are played are right along
the seashores. where the wind invari-
ably blows

pany throughout the trip. will make

Jacinto del Calvo, the Cuban star, has
made a fine impression upon the. fans

much for him to learn. He has been

MISSISSIPPI RIVER CLOSED.
Influences Of keokuk Dam on ice Is
Shown BY Conditions.

Burlington, Jan. 2.-The Mississippi
river became blocked Wednesday and
those Who predicted this would not
happen until January, missed their
guess by one day. The ice stopped
floating down stream a one o'clock
Yesterday morning. 1t is not safe,
however. to use it as a bridge yet as
it is very thin and there are several
large spaces Of open water between
Burlington and the Illinois shore.
The influence of the big dam at Keo-
kuk, is SHOWN by the fact the river is
blocked during such mild weather, this
usually occurring after several days in
which the mercury hovers around the
zero point. The big power dam how
ever has blocked the flow Of the ice
cakes and the result is that the stream
above that point is now solid with ice.
Never before has the river at Burling-
ton been congested with cakes of
ice Of such small Dimensions as far as
thickness goes Men from one of the
local Ice concerns marked off claims
on the Illinois side yesterday morning
but had to cross on the Burlington rail-
road bridge to do so. The ice on that
side Of the Mississippi is very good al
tho at present it is only about 3n
inches thick.
Last season the river was blocked

Webster City. Jan. 2.-For many
years ]. P. Taicott. who died yesterday
at his home in Williams. had been one
of Hamilton county's leading citizens
and most prominent business men.
He had operated hardware,
implement, furniture store and
harness shop in the town for
twenty-one years and some years
ago became financially interested in
business enterprises in Webster City
and Blairsburg. The town OF Williams
would have missed the passing of no
other man as it will that of Mr.. Talcott,
her merchant prince and leading finan-
cier. To his many other enterprises he
had recently established a magnificent
garage. Financially and in a business
way he was the chief mainstay of the
town.
DR.. Talcott was SO years OF age. He
was native of Vermont, but in 1884
came to Hamilton county, Iowa, settling
on farm near Williams. In 1892 he
moved into the town. since which time
it had been his place of residence. Ty-
phoid pneumonia caused his death af-
ter an illness of about three weeks. A
wife and four children survive. For

Des Moines, Jan. 2.-Revival of bust

This seems to be the attitude OF those
who keep in touch with big business

fleets the views of financiers here. Ac-
cording to this 1.-The volume of business
has experienced a considerable shrink
ase in almost all basic lines but re-
tail business is up to- standard ana
the holiday business has been quite
satisfactory and cash business has been
somewhat, larger After referring to
the currency bill, the bank says:
while it is certain that the. re-
adjustment of the entire banking
business las made necessary by this
measure, will take some years and
cause much, confusion, 1t is hardly pos
sible to forecast what the real and III
innate effect of the new system Will
be upon business. The recession IN

is not really large in it's proportions,
altho it is altogether likely that it Will

ment has as vet been made for com
nensating the railroads for hauling the
additional tonnage, which Is tremen-
dous. While there is little doubt that
this matter will shortly be adjusted
the railroads are in the meantime
losers directly and the holders OF their

individuals, indirectly. The loss to the
