"HOIier Than Thou"


A few years ago an inAamed
moo lynched an innocent old
negro in Springfield, ILL.,, on
suspicion, but the south re-
frair ed from branding the whole
northern race as, below par.
A few weeks ago Georgia
mob lynched Leo Frank, ard
the Chicago Tribune imme-
diately jumps to the conclusion
and asserts that the southern
people are uneducated, unrehned
and a bunch of bad eggs gen.
orally.
But fortunately the Tribune
speaks only for the Tribune,
and not for the northern people
as a class. The ncrth knows
the south as it is-a refined,
educated, courteous and gen.
erous hearted class OF people,
who decry the action Of the
mob as quickly as do the people
of the northern states under like
conditions.
The south stands shamed by
the action of the few OF the Leo
Frank mob, just as the north
stood shamed by the action Of
the Illinois mob, and by the ac-
ton of yet another Illinois mob,
which sought to lynch a MUIR
derer but a few days ago.
We condemn mob law wher-
ever it exists, but we do like to
see fair play on the part Of the
public press.

The Other Side

"The boys and girls of today
are entirely to smart-they know
more than their parents" re-
marked citizen the other day.
This is not true in some cases,
but we fear it is only too true in
others.
But is it the fault Of the chill
dren, or Of the parents?
When the parents OF today
were the children of yesterday
they we're taught to reverence
their parents and respect their
elders.
1t is SO in some cases today,
but in many the child is prac-
tically turned loose to shift for
itself while the parent spends
the time in chase for the plea
sures of life.
Even in its infancy the child
learns from necessity to depend
upon its own resources, and as
each day but serves to extend
its worldly knowledge it gradu-
ally drifts away from the parent
al authority and assumes a de-
gree Of independence and self
importance entirely out of pro-
portion to its years.

CALLAHAN KNOCKS OUT
RIVERS IN SECOND ROUND

Memphis, Tenn, Jan. 19--krankie
Callahan, lightweight of Brooklyn,
knocked out Joe Rivers of Los An
geIes in the second round Of what was
scheduled to have been an eight round
bout here Monday night.
Rivers CutboXed Callahan in the first
round and landed several times at close
quarters but with little effect. In the
second round Callahan took the agrees
sive and near the middle OF the round
ended the bout with a right swing TO
the jaw. It was several minutes before
Rivers revived sufficiently to leave the
ring. Both men made the required
weight. 1873 pounds at o'clock
Except for a brief period in the sec
ond round, Rivers forced the fighting,
Callahan taking blows to the head
and body without a return, apparently
waiting for the opportunity for
knockout, which came after four min
utes of Fighting. When the blow was
delivered Rivers was settling himself
after a clinch, Callah3n's right landing
squarely on the jaw as he turned.
Callahan is virtually a newcomer as
a fighter. while Rivers, although ne lost
championship battles 70 both Wolgast
and Richie was still regarded as a
contender for the lightweight title.

Maps Are Be Good Opponent For Giants
BY DAMON RUNYON

st. Louis Cardinals are also training at
San Antonio, while Branch Hickey and
his St. Louis Browns will be at Hous-
ton, but the Cleyelanders, with Joe
Jackson, would probably be the great
est drawing card. The Giants and the
Maps have not played a series in re-
cent years, If ever.
1t seems to be Mr.. Curley's move.
Our Anonymous Letter Department.
January so. 1915.
Mr. William Donovan, Manager:
Dear Sir: I see that Col Rupert
and Cap Huston have finally bought
the Yanks, and that you are to be the
manager, so 1 write to tell you well
come to our city. [ am an old time
Yankee fan, and have always been, and
I am glad there is going to be a change,
because I have been pretty much dis
gusted with everything
hope you do well in this town, Mr..
Donovan, and I think you will, but it
is a tough town for managers of the
Yanks, on account OF there being SO
many knockers around, although so far
7 have heard only few people knock
ing you. 7 think you will have a fine
but lot OF great managers haven't
been able to get by in this town, on
account Of it being such a tough town
for managers OF the Yanks.
The trouble with the Yanks is that
too many people have tried to run the
team, and I hope you won't stand for
anything like that. Pay no attention
to any one. and maybe you won't have
such a lot of trouble as You expect.
Don't let outsiders influence you or
tell you what to do. but just get rid OF
this Mullen, and Ed Sweeney, and Les
Nunnamaker, and a lot of these pitch
ers. II I had this King Cole, honestly,
Mr.. Donovan, I'd have him arrested.
If you get a few good hitters the
anlfs won't look so rotten, no matter
what you hear. There are always lot
Of knockers around trying to run this
team down, but you never hear a word
about the Giants, do you2 Why don't
someone say something about Fromme
instead of knocking the Yanks? If I
were you, Mr.. Donovan, wouldn't pay
any attention to nobody. I would just
get rid Of this Boone, and trade this
Maisel and 'Peckinpaugh for somebody,
and get myself ball team.
Don't let the papers kid YOU along
either, as 7 see they are trying to do,
because they viii pass you the old acid
quick enough if YOU come to a bust,
what everybody says want to give
YOU my support right from the jump,
but / think you had better can that
good natured thing and be rough once
in while with people, and not say any
thing about pitching yourself because
it is j think / ought to tell you. Mr..
Donovan, that several Of your outfield-
ers have a weakness on curve balls, and
don't hit fast ones much, either
Well, good luck to you, and count on
me. I certainly hope you get by, al
though this is a tough town for man
ayers Of the Yanks, and a lot OF good
men have failed here Yours truly,
Pro Bono Publico.
P. S.-Pay no attention to the knock
ers, Mr.. Donovan, because us real fans
are for you, but get yourself a ball club
right away.

TEW YORK, Jan. 19.-This appears

now we have Ad WOlgast treading the
path back to the lightweight throne.
THE Michigan wildcat" has his plans
perfected. and it only remains for him
to execute them.
Wolgast has mapped out a revenge
campaign His first course is to thrash
Willie Richie so soundly as to dispeI
whatever doubt existed in anyone's
mind of Al Wolgast's superiority over
Willie Richie. It is hard to convince
the little Adolph that he should know
better than to tamper with Richie
again, but the Cadillac fighting ma
chine is an obstinate party and he will
have the satisfaction OF embToiiing
Richie even if it costs him money.
Wolgast and Richie have had IL out
in the ring no less than three times.
Their first Meeting occurred May Il,

Two games were played Monday

or as both go to 30, 40 to SO. There
was only a fair crowd present for the
first game, but for the second the hall
was crowded. This was due to the fact
that Porter and Harper were settling
an old score and that the match had
been looked for eagerly for some time
by followers OF the game
Harper and Porter had met in a tour
nament at Montreal, Canada, last sum-
mer to decide the three cushion cham
pionship, of that city. In that meeting
Mr.. Harper had been returned the vic
tor and Monday night until the very
last inning it looked as though we
would repeat With everything at
stake, Porter, instead Of going to pieces
as many players would, came from
behind and won thu match with a mag

the hardest blow he had ever received

But the inexperienced Richie, with
a worlds Championship and a several

failed to pursue the advantage, and
deferred his chances Of winning glory

the fact that 1t brings together the two
best center rushes in the Junior league,
Palmer Boyd, an all scholastic tackle

Hunter, the pride of Villas. Jimmie has
a slight advantage in experience, haV-

counterbalances that advantage through

So it is curtains at last for poor old

Monday night in Memphis, Tenn, at the
hands Of frankie Callahan, an almost

Hghtweights in the game and possibly
the greatest Mexican fighter that ever
stepped into ring, greater even than
that other wonderful Mexican fighter,

Rivers almost attained a championship
but fell short. Aurelio met The Fight

championship Of the world.
In the very first round Herrera
knocked Nelson down with a blow
which landed squarely between the

a Mexican would upset all presidents
and gain the title, a thing which had
never been done previously. The Bat
tier, however, came through and won
out in 20 rounds On independence day,
1912, Rivers met Ad Wolgast at Vernon,
Calf, for the lightweight champion
ship OF the world. For Il rounds the
Mexican boy just hammered, cut and
slashed the American youngster until
the sight was actually sickening. VOL
CAST, however, with his wonderful
stamina and ability to take punish
ment, stuck il out and in the 18th round
came through with one of his famous
right handlers and laid Rivers low. Joe
