Entirely Non-Partisan.

"The cry of partianship is raised as
though the defense of the Constitution
and of the independence OF this nation
were partisanship, while the proposal
to transfer to Europe and Asia tina
control of our foreign relations by
some process of political party reas-
oning is said to be entirely non.
partisan. although nine-tenths OF
those who advocate it would be OPP
posing it were it not for the fact that
the head of their party administration
is it's chief proponent.
The first duty devolving upon US In
concrete form under the league OF
nations is to send an army to police
Turkey for the protection of Armenia.
The press agents of the adminlstra-
ton say it will take one hundred
thousand men. The War Department
experts figure it will require one hum
bred and fifty thousand men. To as.
semble, train, clothe, food, house ana
transport an army of either one hum
bred and fifty thousand or of one
hundred thousand men and maintain
them four thousand miles from home
will cost more than one billion dollars.
Who is to pay the one billion dollars!
Is it to be the farmers of America, the
poor people of the country, upon whom
the burdens of taxation ultimately
inevitably rest?"

Stetcher 10 Wrestle Rogers Thursday

Jess Willard will attempt a task which no heavyweight champion ever has accomplished in the long history of pugilism And that task is nothing more nor less than the successful de- fense of his crown after many years of idleness and rather carefree living and at an age far beyond a pugilists prime.
 It is a definitely known fact that the champion hasn't battled for more than three full years and that he has fought only one 30-minute contest with a sec ond rater since he became king of the boxing world. And that's a long, long time to be away from active ring par ticipation; so long that many ring critics feel that Willard has trusted" and cannot come back with enough to overwhelm Jack Dempsey in their clash of July 1.
 John l.. Sullivan was truly great fighter during all the years that he fought long and often. Through the era from 1882 until 1889 he battled ire quently--and never was beaten. Then he laid off" In 1892, after three years of idling, John l.. took me on in New Orleans. He was 33 then-and considered himself still young. But easy living had harmed him and age had made its impress on the once in- vincible champion. And so I knocked him out in 21 rounds.
 I was 26 when l whipped Sullivan. Two years later I took on Charlie Mitchell-and knocked him out. Two years after that I met Tom Sharkey in a four-rounder. And in 1897 I took on Bob Fitzsimmons Eliminating the semi exhibition bout with Sharkey, had not engaged in stellar bout from 1894 ito 1897. And I had become 31 years old. Like Sullivan. I discounted age and failure to keep in active ring harness and so Bob Fitzsimmons de- throned me in Carson City
 Fit=simmons, after winning from me in 1897, loafed around for nearly two years without meeting anyone in de- fense of his title Then Fitz took on the youthful Jim Jeffries The Cornish man was about 36 then and since be- coming champion hadn't adhered to strict training He felt that his age and inactivity wouldn't count against him. But Jeff put Bob to sleep in l, rounds.
 Jeffries was a peerless fighter dur ing all the days that he remained ac- tive From 1899 to 1905 he whipped every man who cared to try conclusions with him Failing to find other men to conquer. Jeff went into retirement in 1905 As is natural when athletes quit the spotlight, they ease up as far as training is concerned. Jeff was no exception.
 After five years absence from the ring Jeff was asked in 1910 to come back and whip Jack Johnson Jeffrics finally yielded to insistent pleadings.

Gentle reader, cast your weary optics
 thither and take stock of the immortal
 trio, Fisher, Hairston and Stevenson.
 to make a safety in the last six con
 secutive games. Hairston and Fisher
 have battled 363 for these six games,
 while Stevenson has taken a toll of .3o4
 from the, offerings of the twirlers of rival clubs. Fisher has failed to hit in only one game since he joined Moley worthies and is now batting 3s6, Because Little Rock was unable to hold the Barons slid into third place in the standings. If Nashville loses to the Crackers today our heroic batters will be second on the list.
 Who said that the Baronial twirling staff was weak? Take a glance at the pitchers records They are not as fat
 as they will be later, but they could be worse. The Baron curvers grow better with the rise of the thermometer. Bet ter watch Slap
 Say, fans, you had better watch those City leaguers. "Ferinstence,' look at Berkowitz, on the B. R., l.. & P. team. Yesterday he made two doubles out of four times at bat. Hawkins, of the same team, has pounded out three homers in the two games he has played. and Rowe, also man of this nine, has made two homers in the same number of games.
 Say, does anybody around here want to wrestle Mike? Forbes has thrown all corners in his class and is ready for more. Ask Central High, she knows.
 What chu gona do when wrestling gets
 wild and woolly? A "genny-wine' cow boy is going to try conclusions with Joe Stecher Thursday night at the Athletic club. Furthermore. the Kiwanian In- dians will be present to see that their
 ccuntryman gets fair trial.

, But Jeff. shrewd fellow that he is real
 ized that the job might be too diff cult for him He was S5 then-and
 that is old for fighter And he was out of condition still he made a game and desperate effort But nothing bu. failure was his reward
 Outwardly Jeff looked but little different in 1910 than he, had appeared in the years when he vas sweeping through the heavyweight ranks like a cyclone But Inactivity had taken from Jeffries-as it had from others-the stamina and the en- durance that is not visible to the naked eye but absolutely vital for d fighter And so many were deceived into betting heavily on him to their sorrow.
 Johnson suffered a like fate, After winning from Jeffries in 1910 he fought l but two fairly important f-hts-and | both were against inferior foes. The negro never was really forced to extend | himself against either. Jim lFlynn, tha pigmy heavyweight, was knockout vie | tim at the hands of Johnson and the nA- 1 gro had an easy time outpointing Frank Moran in their 20-rounder in Paris. From | start to finish Johnson never was in any real danger and it was, Go use a racing | term, simply gallop for the cham | pion

Johnson was 37 then Age. easy living and dissipation had robbed l the negro of the strength, the speed and | the punching Judgment that had helped | to make hifn great. His eyesight. as far | as it's use in prize ring is concerned. ! had dimmed Johnsons judge of dis | tance was poor His punches lacked steam And he couldn't stand up under walloping. So Johnson joined the other eX-champions of the heavyweight world. Willard's exact age is one of the mys-' teries of the prize ring. But the best guess makes it SS. The ring records give 1 1881. That would make him Sl at the pion recently declared that Jess was nearly 10 And during the war while the draft situation was one of the vital topics story appeared in the paper corfs aiming a statement from Willard in which he said "I am nearly 40."
 Assuming that Willard Is SS it means that he is the oldest man that ever fought in defense of the heavyweight championship of the world And further more, Willard has through four years and six weeks of championship fought but 90 minutes. He spent perhaps SIX weeks conditioning himself for that fight. And the other POS weeks Willard has been loafing He mas stated repeatedly that he has not dissipated. His ins,mates bear him out in this But all hands agree that Jess has not spent any part of those l POS weeks in keeping himself at the high | est point of physical fitness. He has trained off, so to speak, and has done , nothing of consequence since his 1916
 battle with Frank Moran to lit himself for a bout on a few weeks notice.

 Moleys men moved into third place by winning that battle yesterday, and they are just a half a game behind the Vols now. If Sigman can win today Crews ought to beat 'em at Redwood , tomorrow.
 The Barons play nine straight al
 Redwood beginning Monday. Six oi the nine would give 'em second place and a good chance to supplant the Peli- cans Chattanooga plays one here, Mem- phis four and Little Rock four. The consistent hitting of Peters has been one of the surprising factors of the Barons play this season. Big Pete has hit safely in the last 10 consecutive games and in only three battles this season has he failed to bingle at least once. In addition the giant receiver is cutting down base runners in biz league fashion and will undoubtedly get a call from the majors if his work holds up. You can get 5000 for him if he bats .250." said Johnny Dobbs tc Moley in New Orleans.
 Tn their 22 games the Barons have made 123 runs, or an average of more than 51s runs per game. In this re- spect they are far ahead of the Pels league leaders though the latter are.
