OVERWORK CAUSE OF BILL JAMES,
 FAILURE IN 1915

Boston, June 1s.-Bi1l James, the Braves big pitcher. who was the star hurler of the National League last season. is now accused of not giving this best services to the Braves be- cause President Jim Gafney refused to give him an increase in salary this spring. While there might be some trUth in this report, the most likely thing of it all is that James has been overworked. Not by the Braves but by himself.
 After finishing a strenuous cam paign with the worlds champions last season. James went on the barn storming trip with the AH-Nationa1s. He worked consistently for a greater part of the fall and later pitched oc- casionally in California. This proved too severe strain on his arm, and he is now feeling the effects of his work. It is not likely that James is quitting. He is just as anxious to win for the Braves as he ever was.

ANNIVERSARIES
 OF RING BATTLES

1s61-Jem Mace defeated Sam Hurst in 8 rounds at Medway, Eng. Mace, the gfpsy boxer, had become
 ntdd1eweight champion, but he also coveted the English heavyweight title, and challenged Hurst, the holder of that honor. lem was feet g 7z inches tall, and then weighed 156 pounds. Hurst, called the Sta1eybridge Infant, was 2 7z inches over feet in height, and at the time of Jem's challenge weighed 234 pounds. It was an un- equal contest, but not in the way the fans expected, for the great noun tain of flesh was but as a baby in the hands of Mace. As early as the 9th round the fight was all over, for when Hurst tried to grapple Mace accepted the challenge and threw him with a cross-buttock. The Infant fought gal lant1y on until both eyes were closed and he was completely at Jems mercy, and the blind and battered giants gave in only when he was knocked unconscious. By his victory Mace became the second middle weight to attain the heavyweight honors of EngIahd.
 1S94-Bob Fitzsimmons and Joe Choyniski fought 5-round draw at Boston.
 19O3-Joe Wa1cot and Young Peter Jackson fought 20-round draw at Portland.

The Telephone Girl.

The telephone girl sits still in her chair
and listens to voices from everywhere. She
hears all the gossip, she hears all the news,
she knows who is happy and who has the
blues; she knows all our sorrows, she
knows all our joys; she knows every girl
who is chasing the boys; she. knows all our
troubles she knows all our strife, she knows
every man who is mean to his v ife. She
knows every time we are out with the boys;
she hears the excuses each one employs;
she knows every woman who has dark
past, she knows every man who is inclined
to be fast. In fact there's secret meath
each saucy curl of that quiet, demure look
ing telephone girl. If the telephone girl
would tell all she knows, she would turn
half of our friends into bitter foes; she
would start small wind that would soon
be gale engulf us in trouble and land us
in Jail. She could let go a story which
gaining in force would cause half our
wives to sue for divorce; she could get all
the churches mixed up in fight and turn
ell our DAYS into sorrowing night; in TACT
she could keep the whole town in stew
if she'd tell tenth part Of what she knew.
Now dosen't it make your head .whirl
when you think what you owe the tele-
phone grip Exchange.

been transmitted to the legislature of this
state than this. But regardless of its mer-

feature is that members of the legislature
would permit the objections of little men

He should know, if the members do not,
that the Democratic party in Tennessee IS

faith with the people it surely invites their
just wrath.

SCIENCE TRIUMPHED.

The Berlin newspapers have been telling
with great glee of triumph of science over
crime. In one office in that city where
many clerks are employed number OF
petty thefts had been committed, the
pockets of coats hanging in ante-rooms
being visited and cigars and small change
distracted. The police were Tor tune
nonplussed, and then invoked the AID OF
science.
An old professor being consulted, ne
advised the insertion of delicate anime
powder in the mouth end of some cigars
to be placed at the mercy OF the thief.
The next morning there was summon
ing of the clerks and general snspectlocn
of their mouths. Two unhappy youths
were discovered with aniline tongue and
lips, and promptly discharged.

JUST COMMON FOLKS

Selected
This world is made up of common things
OF water, earth and air;
And all that's found the wide world round
Has habitation there.
All men are made of common stuff
Of love and hope and strife;
And birth of folk, and rank, but cloak
A common human life.
You think you're better than the rest
Or made. of finer clay?
Tut, tut, we meet upon the street
Our equals every day.
Because you're handsome, rich or wise,
You're on different plan?
Pshaw! friend you've got the wrongyardstick
With which to measure man.
It's worth alone that elevates
But even then we find
None so low he can't bestOw
Some value on mankind.

We have common goal;
Like comrades true let's travel through
This journey of the soul.
