BASEBALL SPORTS OF ALL soRTs-BoXING

Packey Mcfarland failed to show
I'D Yesterday, so there was nothing
doing in signing for match between
the former stockyards man and Mike
Gibbons. Gibbons came all the way
here from st. Paul in response TO a
telegram from Emil Thirty, McFar-
lands manager, and was somewhat
peeved when Packey failed to appear.
Mcfarland remained in Joliet, in
terested in some political affair lie
asserted he would be in Chicago at D
o'clock tomorrow afternoon to close
negotiations. Gibbons will remain
here, as Mike has his dander up and
he wants to make his fellow-lrishman
come across with a proper forfeit.
Getting Mcfarland to sign up for
an important bout is. always major
task and the ex-ightweight's tempo
rary retirement doesn't seem to nave
improved him in this respect.
Chick Evans broke the 16-hole
record for the San Francisco Golf
and Country club links in the opening
round of the amateur golf champion
ship tourney of the Panama-Pacifc
exposition. He was around in 68 and
made the afternoon round in rs, the
total of 143 also being a new record.
Joe Mandot worked his will with
Patsy Drouillard in eight rounds at
Memphis and won an easy decision.
DrouiIlard took several hard punches
but there was no resemblance to
knockout.
Jess Willard is on his way to Kan

crowd at Boston yesterday. The tao

the champion popular hero and the

Mr.. Bresnahan is not conducting
troop of cutters. Any team which
can finish the fourth inning five runs
behind, play to the support of uncer-
tain pitching and whale out a muscu-
lar victory deserves credit for deter
mination and spirit such as has been
strangely absent from Cub teams of
the last two or three seasons.
There are several angles to the re-
vamped Cubs which are work of con-
sideration. One of the principal
changes seems to be in Heinie Zim-
norman, the well known Krupp gun.
In the past it has appeared that Zim
fought earnestly to get put out of the
game and placed under the cooling
shower. But this spring the gestic-
ulating German seems to be fighting
just as strenuously to stay in the bat
tle.each afternoon.
An instance of this occurred in the
final St. Louis game, when Zim
arched the ball in the general direc-
ton of first base between innings, the
ball hitting Umpire Eason. Zim had
just enjoyed slight argument with
Nal, and Umpire Quigley, back of the
plate, thought Zim deliberately aimed
at his partner. In justice to Tim it
should be said that Quigley was ap-
parently wrong, as Safer was asleep
for moment and did not see the bali.
But Zim went up to Quigley and
shot off a lot of oratory in an attempt
to convince the director of play that
he had no wrong intentions. It
availed nothing, and when Tim saw

JOLIET WARDENS WIFE

Mrs. Edmund N. Allen Murdered and

Joliet. H.. June 22.-Mrs Edmund
NJ. Allen, wife of the warden, was MUIR
dered in her room on the third
floor of the administration building Of
the state penitentiary at Joliet early
Sunday morning 1t is believed that
an attempt was made to attack Mrs.
Allen before she was struck down.
Then, when she was either dead or I'M
conscious, her body was placed on
the bed, quantity of wood alcohol
poured over it. and the bedclothes ig-
nited. Mrs. Allen was young and
very handsome woman in robust
health. The man who slew Mrs. Al
len, who was the only woman in that
part of the prison structure known as
the mems quarters" was an inmate
of the institution, and is now within
its walls.
There are approximately 1850 man
prisoners confined in the Joliet peni-

Not ReekIna the Boat.

One of the most significant things,
said by M Gary in his admirable ad-
dress to the American Iron and Steel
institute in New York, was that 1t was
not the American business man who
was rocking the national boat"
This should not be overlooked at
itirle when superserviceable defenders
of all the Wilson policies try to put
the stigma of unpatriotic conduct on
those who differ with any of the 3acro-
,sanct ideas that are set out in Wash
ington. IL other words, they apply
the term rocking the boat" not only
TO rash and Incorporate utterancea
which all decry, but to the thoughtful
and serious objections of the most con-
sentative elements in the country to
ill-considered legislation of an anti
social character that is now coming
home to plague it's creators
The business man is exercising his
rights as an American to ask for re-
dress and to set out his position is
not rocking the boat" The people
who rocked the boat" we're the lead
ers who committed the president to
the trade policies which upset the
country.-Philadelp Ledger

many intricate points Of international

Good Ex.PresIdent.

Not often has the nation had a
wiser ex-president than William H.
Taft. In every complication that the
present administration has faced
and it surely has had more than its
share of omplications-Mr Taft has
advised the people to stand steadfast-
ly by the administration. In the pres
ent crisis he has refused to say any
thing that might embarrass the presi-
dent, but has, on the contrary. told
the people that he was in every way
worthy of their support and conf
dence. In nothing has Mr.. Taft done
so much to deserve the respect and af-
lection of the country as in the pol
icy that he has uniforml.- observed in
his retirement. He has shown him
self to be-what every one knew
that he was-a true patriot.-Indian.

ONE NATIONAL ISSUE
Only Question in the Election
Next Year.
Voters Whe Have Felt the Pinch Of
an unwise Tariff Will Demand
Return to Sanity
and Prosperity.

The European war may still be I'M
der way when the rival political clans
in the. United States begin their cam
paign for tie presidency a rear from
now, but the chances that he strug-
gle win have been finished by that
time are infinitely better.
However, it is very unlikely that the
war viii play much part in determin-
ing the presidency. 1t is a maxim
that the public is unlikely to change
horses in the middle of the stream,
but there have been so few war presi-
dents that the proVerb has never had
a very thorough test. If war should
continue. the Republicans doubtless
would nominate a man whose d.
plomacy and conservatism is known
TIN -hout the country-the kind Of
statesman who would be certain to
preserve peace so long as it could be
done without impairing the honor or
dignity of the United States.
But the probability is that the war
will be over by the time the two POI
litical parties line up for battle. There
will then be but one national issue
prosperity. No other questions viii
be permitted to obscure that central
issue. The millions of men VINO have
felt the pinch of a tariff that does not
protect American industries are wait
ing for chance to express them
selves on that issue. The thousands
of business men who have been
harassed for so long time are wait
ing for their innings at the polls.
1t is significant of the clear-headed
character of American citizens that
they do not confuse issues or permit
partisan feelings to interfere with
their patriotism. No matter what any
citizen may think of the failure of the
tariff 70 protect labor and industry or
to raise the revenue necessary for the
government, he is certain to be found
Loyalty supporting the administration
