Corbett's Daily Letter
 On Great Sport Topics
By JAMES J. coRBErr

This is the third-and fina-install- ment which MT. Corbett is writing con corning Jim Jeffries' defeat by Jack Johr son.
 Nervousness shatters the whole system of some persons, while it has the oppo- site effect upon others It made wreck of Jim Jeffries, which caused some per sons to think that Jeff was afraid of Jack Johnson. But that is the greatest injustice that was ever done to one of the greatest fighters that ever lived. Jeffries had no control over his nerves and had to suffer the way many other brave men have suffered who were so afflicted.
 During my own ring days the greater the nervous strain the greater would be my strength and my confidence in a crisis. Mine was a nervous temperament that made it possible for me to get my greatest strength and to rise to the greatest heights in the most nervous mo- ments. But Jim Jeffries was of a phlegmatic nature. Nervousness, instead of strengthening him, unsettled and weakened his physical self.
 During the two months that I was in Jeff's camp I tried often to draw him out; to have a heart-to-heart talk with him. I felt that the big trouble with Jeffries was nervousness; realized also that unless it could be cured it would bring about Jeff's defeat even before he

Back to the world of make-believe
with a slip of girl as the fairy en-
chantress.
Marvel Miller merits her first name.
In the realm of "play-acting" she is
a real marvel. For she has the ability
to create character, to visualize emo
ton, to portray mental attitude.
Her dramtic readings catch the
heart thought and the heart-throb of a
series of characters, and she will
make each live for her audience when
she presents her delightful program
during the coming Chautauqua.
In her rendition of "When the Fleet
Goes By" she sends the salt sea air
racing through your nostrils and
makes you prouder still of Uncle Sam
and his sea-power.
Her rendition of Henry Van Dykes
"The Colors" is another soul-builder,
and builder of real Americanism.
Altogether, her Chautauqua pro-
gram is one of the most interesting,
entertaining and inspiring ever pre-
scented in America.
She is richly endowed by nature for
her chosen profession, is possessed
of unusual charm of personality, grace
of person and sweetness of character,
that assist her materially in winning
her audiences.

"Back From He'll" He Brings
a Message From the Battle Line

The story of Belgium crucified-
the sickening strain of the battle
fronts contrasted with its glorifled
heroism-life in the trenches-big
deeds, by little men made great by
the needs of the hour of trlal-the
heroism that hides beneath the hide
of an ordinary man and flames up To
light the gloom of humanity at wal
all this will be told during the Chau-
tauuua in lecture, "Back from He'll
by Samuel Cranston Benson, who
went abroad for the Red Cross.
Arrested in Brussels as spy-by
the same Germans who put the cold
hand of death upon Edith Cavell-
wounded in the leg by a rifle bullet
the scar of which he carries as per-
petual momento of his hazardous ex-
periences at the front-an eye-wit-
ness of unspeakable Hun atrocities
Benson is no retailer of twice-told
tales.
He knows whereof he speaks.
There is the ring OF experience In
what he says.
Sincerity, honesty, and a whole
souled hate of the murderous prac-
tices and unholy usages OF the enc
mics of mankind who pay homage to
Potsdam7-these make his words hit
home.
Benson was the pastor of a quiet
Presbyterian church in Pennsylvania
in 19l4-a he-angel of mercy in the
ambulance service of the Red Cross in
France and Belgium during the hot
test days of the war, converted pa.
cifist with a knowledge Of the need of
war in order to kill the institution
which willed this war. He is now in
the United States for the purpose OF
making his fellow men see this thing
called "German Kultur" for what it is.
But he says he is going back again.
"With millions of khaki-clad boys;
with odd Glory waving over our
heads, l am going into Belgium and
on into Germany, too"
Night after night he carried
wounded men out of the trenches to
anbulances and temporary field hos
pitfalls. Day after day he lived with
the men who held the Germans at
bay. -,
He will take you with him into the
devastated region # northern France,
will nicture for YOU the smoking ruins

Of that section of the "Joan of Arc"
country which was laid waste when
the war began. And from there to
Belgium, Louvain, Namur, Charleroi
weaving a witching picture of real
conditions as he saw them.
Through it all there runs a sad
dening sense of the cruelty, the bar
barism, the terror-dictating fright
fulness of the whole system of Ger
man warfare. 1t is the kind Of tale
which leaves no half-baked Ameri-
cans in the audience.
But it is not all a story of sorrow.
In addition, it tells of the wonderful
gratitude of the people of France and
Belgium for the services of the Amer
lean Red Cross.
1t contains much quaint humor, too
the real humor of the battlefields,
that sustains the soldier in his hour
of trial and relieves the deadly mo-
notony of his existence in the trenches.
Mr.. Benson will make you want to
laugh, as we'll as want to fight.
His lecture occurs during the first
evening of the Chautauqua.

Although exact figures were not
available, according to estimates
made by Judge Will Linn, city chair
man of the W. S. S. campaign, the
total pledges of the people of the
Chickasha school district up to last
night, amounted to approximately
s21S,OOO, leaving $4,000 Of the dis
trict's quota to be subscribed.
A meeting of all the local commit.
tees. with a number of other citi-
zens, was held at the court house last
night and it was the unanimous de-
cision that the quota assigned to the
city shall be pledged It was agreed
by all that it would be a reproach
to the community and disastrous in
a business way for the city to fall
short, especially since nearly all the
rural districts have subscribed in full
many having gone "over the top.
The difficulties in the way Of con
Quoting the campaign in the city were
