The MeltingP Pot
Sport News Boiled Down

An article in last nights New York
Evening Journal says:
Johnny saxon, the Newark heavy
weight, is sore as a bear over the
published reports of his fight with
Clay Turner at Perth Amboy. Johnny
says he trimmed the Indian all the
way and hat he "a do 1t again.
Some of the papers gave the decision
to Saxon and some to Turner, 50 II
must have been a pretty even thing.
I'm his letter of protest Saxon said
he would enclose a raft of clippings
showing that he was the victor; but,
as he failed to do so, maybe he didn't
have them"
Saxon certainly has reason to feel
peeved over the way the New YORK
apers handled the account OF ms
scrap with Turner. Not one of the
metropolitan dailies gave the New
arker credit for winning the nght,
which was his from beginning to end,
and but one, the Evening World, gave
him a draw. 1t would seem that Gay
Turner Is credited with a victory IN
every bout he engages as the result
Of his past performances. 1t is do
ing an injustice to Saxon, however,
In this instance as Johnny did about
all of the fighting which was done in
The eight rounds. 1t takes W % men
to make a scrap and Johnny was al.
most compelled to do the work or
both.
AS for Saxon not having any clip
pings, any sporting writer who wit
messed the scrap could not help but
write articles which gave all OF the
credit to Saxon. -
According to last nights New YORK
World Al Roberts has turned down
an offer to meet Gunboat Smith,
when that scrapper ~endeavors to pull

says:
"AI Roberts, he Of the sleep-pro-
ducing wallop, Is still determined to

We have struck something pretty good

the most important business there is.
Then he ays that first of all we

are mostly railroads, he says, and all
railroads have presidents and cash.

That's what Captain Winters. the
old sailor, told US when We bought
the boat. too" said Chuck. Sure"
agreed Starchy. everybody knows
that's the way 1t ought to be. Then,
after we have a name and officers"
he went on, dad says we should do
something with hat money so as to
get q return from 1t and still have the
whole amount or most of 1t. He says
that as there is $500 we ought to put
about half of it in bank as working
capital and the rest out at interest. We
ought to get at least six percent. in

that would pay as high as eight per

And you get IS a week for hauling
supplies for those campers down the
river; that's a little over $40 q month
so there you have about SIS per
month to start with"
I'VE mustn't forget to pay Captain
Winters the $25 we owe him for the
Mary Anne just as soon as we get that
money" said Tom.
"Aw. there amt no class to doing
anything like that" declared Starchy.
That Is a common way to pay bills"
he went on, well wait until we put
our money In bank and then we'll
give Captain Winters q check. That's
the way business men do and 1t will
impress the captain, too" Starchy adj
ded. We'll, all right, we'll do 1t that
way but tell us the rest of the plan,"
said Chuck.
ooh, there isn't so much more to
It," said Starchy. We'll hire some
one to do the hauling up and down the
river and hat will give us all u
time to look around the country and
find Ways to spread the business out
enlarge our scope Of operation dad
calls it."
How d. you mean7" asked Squin-
ty. "Well," returned Starchy, assum-
ing an important air, "Of course we
will do all the hauling we can get on
the river but we'll hire some one to
do the actual work. Then, let me see;
we might look around for some other
line" He paused and thrust his hands
deep in the pockets of his trousers and
wrinkled his forehead in thought.
1--WE might get an auto-truck," he
went on, "and build up a business
goods back and forth between
the city and the little towns back in
the country. OF courst we'd hire some
one to do the work there. too, and
then tackle something else"
Gee, amt he a wonder" exclaim-
ed Chuck in admiration as Starchy
paused. But Starchy was reserving his
trump card for last. Didn't you say

Starchy resumed. Yes, that's right
replied Tom. well, then" continued
Starchy, well hire some one right
away to attend to hauling the sup
plies to the campers and we'll get
busy building the raft. But instead
of going there and back every day
we'll camp right there until the raft Is

approval from the others.

FIGHT AGAINST
CLARK ON WANE.
Former Speaker Seems
Strongest Candidate for
House Minority Leader.

Opposition to the plan Of the Demo-
Gratis in the House for making Champ
Clark the minority leader of the
Slxty-stxth Congress Is about to col
lapse through the failure Of influential
members to give 1t any encourage
ment.
Investigation into the so-caiied
Democratic Reorganization commit
tee made by Clark supporters and
House members who have thus far
remained neutral in the night has dis
closed that instead of eighty being IN
the move, there are about a round two
dozen. or loss than one-eiGhth OF tho
Democratic strength In the lower body
of the next Congress.
Movement Lacks support.
The biggest stumbling block that
the anti-Clark men have encounter
ed thus far IL the refusal OF any
prominent Democrats in the House
organization to- oppose Mr.. Clark.
1t now develops that Claude Kitch-
in. who has been chairman OF the
Ways and Means Committee and
floor leader for several terms, was
approached with the request that
he lead the hight. He declined nat
ly and declared that he was for
Mr.. Clark.
After this rebuff. Representative
Gallivan. Of Massachusetts, and Rep
resentative Ferris, of Oklahoma,
were approached. Mr.. Gallivan cut
short the overtures by declaring he
intended to make a speech second
ing the nomination of Clark as the
Democratic leader In the House.
The anti-Clark leaders ther, pinned
their faith on Mr.. Ferris. In fact 30
confident were the Democrats that he
would lead them there was consider
able loose talk concerning IL around
the Capitol before Ferris was even
approached. This third hope OF the
anti-Clark forces faded immedi lately,
when Representative Ferris. who had
heard of 1t, told some Of the Clark
opponents he proposed to support the
former speaker to the best OF his abil-
ity and that the Oklahoma delegation.
with possibly one exception, would do
likewise.
The guiding spirit in the movement
to unhorse Clark Is Representative
Sanders, OF Louisiana He, the Clark
leaders maintain. started the reorgan-
ization plan with an eye to 1890 when
he hopes to land the Democratic nom-
ination for the Senate.
After investigation of the scope and
strength of the opposition to Champ
Clark. his friends have advised him
TO pay no attention to the fight and
make no answers to the attacks be-
ing made upon him, and Mr.. Clark
is inclined to follow their counsel
The fat declaration OF the former
Speaker that he favored the enact
ment OF a league of nations covenant
took away one of the strong arms
upon which his opposition counted
upon leaning.

5O-MILE GALE
RAISES HAVOC
Rips Roofs Off Houses,
Breaks Down Trees and
Scatters Debris.

Ripping roofs OF houses. breaking
down trees and scattering debris
over the city, nifty mile gale tore
over Washington yesterday. leaving
us wondering II the almanac was
right about spring.
At Tenth street and New York
avenue, the wind rose to such a
height that II pushed small auto
mobile from its course and caused
q collision.
In Potomac Park the weeping will
lows presented q pathetic after-the-
storm picture. Several were blown
down. their branches trailing into
the water.
And although the weather man de-
clared two days ago that today would
be fair and warmer. he has changed
his prediction to fair and not so
cold"
The observatory annotates yester-
days winds as follows: A gale start
ed in North Carolina yesterday morn
ing; 1t swept north. gaining greatly
in intensity on the journey: 1t Is
scheduled to end up in New England
today.
