Around one of the campfres of sport a night or two ago number of keen students of many games were attempting to pick the greatest all- around athletic marvel this common wealth has ever produced.
 The subject is one of abiding inter est, for there have been many who followed varied sporting activities and who in these various lines reached high places.
 One Familiar Case.
 There is, for an often used example, Christy Mathewson. Mathewson is one of the three greatest pitchers that ever lived. By many he is listed as the greatest. His place in base ball is at the top. At Bucknell he was first class fullback; so at foot ball, another major sport, his rank is well up.
 He isn't star golfer, but he is a good one. He is a good trap-shooter and if that might be classed a sport, a chess player of unusual ability. So here is Mathewson's field baseball, football, golf, trap shoot ing, chess and checkers
 Other Ball Players.
 CnaTleS AlperC Bender, the Cnlp- rewa chief, holds a place, but not as high as Mathewson. Bender excels at baseball, golf and trap shooting. His average here is high, but his range isn't as wide
 Ty Cobb doesn't hold high place in all-around play The worlds greatest ball player gives most of his time and energy to the one game that h biy mi verse. =

On the track Snow could high jump around six feet he could put the shot forty-five feet; he was fine hurdler. Taking both quality and quantity, we should say that Snow was the equal at least of any man that has been mentioned.

For example, a veteran umpire would more than likely esteem this job, even without pay, if he could operate in a cemetery where only ball players were inferred.

Forced Marches.

More than one entry has drawn a reputation for being a high class sportsman who was merely never tempted sufficiently.
 It is generally supposed that when the race is fairly run the best man always wins. But the best man for the year doesn't always win through the one week of championship play that counts.

1t is always interesting to see an

There is an irresistible fascination about

The scenes OF an ant-hilI are some
times as absorbing as those Of a thea

tellectual aristocracy of the sub-hu-
man branch Of the animal kingdom,
and their prestige is so great, owing
to the praises of naturalists, that
many readers no doubt think that
they are, in respect to intelligence,
in class almost by themselves.

DO Worms Have Intelligence?

titled by its previous experience; with
what the great Napoleon did in
Egypt when, with his staff, he was
caught in the/'rising waters of the
Red Sea, while looking for the spot
where Moses is said to have led the
escaping Israeites across. -.
The members OF the young gener-
ais staff were dashing vainly hither
and thither in search OF the ford,
when he called them togetner and
started them simultaneously on radial
lines toward all points of the COM
pass. Evidently this was the quick
est way to find where the ford lay.
The worm, singly, could not do that
but it did what Napoleon, If he had
been alone, would have done it ran
around in a widening circle, to find
its way out of the road.
This study of the intelligence OF
animals by inspecting their tracks
has often been pursued by natural
lists and it has been most interesting
ly applied in the case of ants, which
follow methods similar to that above
ascribed to the worm when search
ing for something which they cannot
see, but of whose existence they are,
in some way, aware.
At this time OF the year anyone
driving along country road is sure
to see \caterpillars making their way
straight across the road, hardly turn
ing aside to avoid obstacles. If one
+ of them descends into a deep run il
invariably climbs out-of it on the side
toward which 1t was originally trav'
cling, and if it>goes around an insur'
mountable obstacle it resumes the
original direction when the traverse
is finished. ~s
If you stop and turn one of these
caterpillars around, and set it going
backward, or at right angles to its
course, it will turn again to its chosen
direction, like "a needle to the pole
and this it will do so persistently
that there is no escaping the conclu.
sion that the act is either the result
of an exercise of will or a deliberate
and fixed cboice, or. that it is an i'm
planted "tropism," resembling in Its
effects the. growth of a tree upward
against the force of,grayity.
For my part, | find it difficult I'd
believe that the caterpillar has Hot
an individual consciousness of the di.
rection it wants to follow. The OPP
posite belief when pursued to its
limit leads inevitably to the hypothe.
sis that we ourselves are mere me-
chanisms, and that. whatf we sup
pose to be our free will Is nothing
more than moral grayitatiop, which
we obey as the tides obey the pull o.

Brewery Workers

Secretary Koch, after returning from
Wyoming, where he visited various To-
Gals in the interest of the Brewery Work
ers, and explained to them the reason
of the strike at Coors brewery, had to
leave al once for Trinidad and Pueblo
to settle some disputes between the mem
bers of local 1873; also to negotiate new
contract with the proprietors. He was
successful in both places and reached an
agreement with the proprietors for one
year to continue under their old agree
ments. Koch was also successful in
straightening out the internal dispute
among the members of Local 1913 and
believes that all concerned will work in
harmon in the future.
Brother Junghaene. who has been in
Pueblo, Colorado Springs and Walsen-
burg, informing the unions in those cities
regarding the strike at Coors brewer
was well received and assured the solid
support OF organized labor in those cities
Brother O'Connor, who is informing the
unions on the Western Slope and the
mining camps in the San Juan district,
also reports good success and says that
the boy are all with the Brewery Work
ers. He says even business men are
surprised to learn that the men at the
Coors brewery had their wages reduced
as much as SIPS per day, and want to
know If Mr.. Coors has gone crazy or
money mad.
The boys at Golden are all happy and
have made up their mind to stay on
strike until they are given the same con-
ditions as prevail in the other breweries.
No such thing as going back TO work un.
til this Is granted.
Brother Labante has been laid up with
a severe attack of rheumatism, but is on
the road to recovery.
Brother John Buehler is up and around
again and is slowing recovering from an
operation caused by fall at the Neef
brewery some months ago.
