HEAD DE- THE AMERICAN LEAGUE
SEES NO CINCH FOR RED S0X
Names Four Other Teams Which, in His Opinion, Will
Give Boston Team Very Close Race For the Pen
napt; Declares the Athletics Are Not Out
Of the Race Because of Losing Men.

n TEW YORK, Feb. 2O.-Byron Ban
N croft Johnson, president Of the
American league, begs to disa-
gree with those myriad baseball proph-
cts who predict a walkovcr for the
Boston Red Sox in the next American
league Dennant race. Ban in the past
has shown himself to be considera Bile
Of a forecaster in his own smiling way,
and # behOoves the wary fan to list
while the car has his say.
Among the big gamblers Of New
York who make a custom of keeping
book on the baseball battles, opening
the speculation long, long before the
frost melts out OF the diamonds in the
north, the Red SoX are made an even
money favorite against the field. They
are careful, however, to avoid taking
wagers on the inverse side OF this prop
osition; they prefer to have their margin
Of risk arranged so that they viii win
III the Red SoX fail TO take the flag.
But the guillible fan, the average bug
who takes an early interest in such
things, has fallen in line with the con-
sensus Of baseball writer's opinion that
the Red Sox are a cinch, and many
small bets are being placed on that
proposition.
Predicts Five Corner Fight.

Arthur Pelky was matched to meet
the recognized white champion, Luther
Mccarthy. at Madison Square garden,
New York. but was taken sick and with
scarcely a days notice Willard sub
stituted. Himself almost too sick to

the GOthamites his wares though Of

per decisions was that willard beat

talks of the birds and trees; Of the old
boyhood swimming hole and life in the

a good horse than in good fighter.
If he does leave the ring, It viii be

men of his caliber in the game. As a
tvDicaI example Of his nature, might
cite an incident that happened this
morning. Willard came into camp lead

bought after some laggling from
farmer who was taking it to market

MOST PERFECT OF PLANTS
Working Of the Human Body Makes
Any Invention Of Man Seem Like

The most complicated manufactur,

nervous system. No factory ever boast
ed q more efficient producer plant for
converting fuel into energy. No plant
ever had so well.designed pumping
system, nor one so perfect for the
disposal Of waste and sewage. Talk
Of up-to.date heating and ventilating
or interdepartment telephone! The
best that our modern science can put
into our shops is crude indeed as COM

Do you think the manufacturer
would bid for the job? If he were n
timid man he would probably agree
with you and tell you to come around
next week, meanwhile edging you
toward the door before your insanity

not afraid of lunatics he would say:

while in other places the compensation

BLOODHOUND NOT A FIGHTER
Dogs Size and Ferocious Appearance
Responsible for Idea That Has
Become Widespread.

Contrary to the general belief, the
bloodhound Is not apt to worry or
harm its quarry. The object Is to To-
cate the man hunted, or, when game
Is sought, to force the bear or wild
boar to cover, where the more active
fighting terriers will do the worrying
and aid the gunners in making kill.
The modern police dog will seize and
hold a suspect until his human aids
come up. but the bloodhound is more
passive and Is content to bay aloud
the fact that the fugitive has been cor
rallied.
The size, muscular appearance and
strong features of the bloodhound are
ocular evidence to the pr,judiced that
the deg is a savage custoiper., The
common use Of bloodhounds in Uncle
Toms Cabin" performances has helped
to spread the idea that the breed Is fe.
rocious.
There is a story OF stage dog of
this breed that before going with an
Uncle Toms Cabin" troupe was a
police dog. The bloodhound liked DO.
licemen so much that he always want
ed to run up and make friends when.
ever he saw one. The bloodhound used
to break away from the street paradcs
to run into the country police stations.
When the policemen saw him coming
they always tried to climb out OF the
back windows at the same time, and
often hurt each other in trying to es-

"a Butterfly on the Wheel" at the
Denham Theatre.

| There is II pleasant surprise in store
| for the Denham's clientele-it will be
found in the person of the coming star
Grace Huff We have had during the
summer at the theatre many brilliant
players, starting with the clever Flor
ence Roberts, followed by the gifted
Otis Skinner, the intellectual Helen
Ware, Henrietta CrossMan and Maud
Fealy
Now comes one, not so well known in
stardosn, perhaps, but a woman with
youth. beauty and personality. Grace
Huff is very finished actress-one of
large experience, who, though still in
her twenties, has been on the stage for
ten years and won general approval
among the very best companies in the
east. She will delight and charm by her
grace of department, her artistry in
dressing, for in this important particu-
lar. who is regarded as quite wonderful
thaving the reputation of being the bes
dressed stage woman in the theatres.
Miss Buff has that elusive, but most
desirable quality of personality. She
always gets it across the footlights and
the audience feels she is living the char
acter she impersonates. Few actresses
have this gift, but those who possess it
are sure of success.
The play selected for the opening of
Miss Huff's engagement is "a Butter
fly on the Wheel" one of the most
dramatic and interesting of modern
dramas. 1t is play that has scored
heavily in Europe and America, having
all the qualities that go to interest an
audience and bring out the best attrib-
utes of capable company, such as the
Denham possesses. Altogether the
advent of Miss Huff, and the fine
English play, will afford Denver people
another histrionic treat.
