TROUBLE FOR TRICKY BOXERS
New York Boxing Commission An
nounces It Will Act in co-opera-
ton With Other States.

The lines are tightening about those
boxers and managers who have been
in the habit of breaking the rules of
one locality. and then concentrating
their efforts at some other point till
the offense has been forgotten. Box
ers of that stripe will soon find after
they have violated rules in one state
that all avenues to boxing in other
states are closed.
The first important step In the d.
rection of roundup of all offenders
was taken by the New York state
boxing commission when 1t was, an
nounced that it would cooperate with
the Massachusetts, commission and
will recognize suspensions and dis
qualifications of boxers by that COM
mission. Matty Herbert, New York
boxer, was suspended for period of
three months by the Massachusetts
commission, and the New York COM
mission will fnflict the same penalty
on this boxer.
Before many weeks there will be
cooperation among all the boxing
commissions In this country, and box
ing tricksters will have hard road
to travel.

communitx,s Real Worth.

After all is said and done, the num-
Der of persons residing in commu-
nifty has little to do with its real great
ness. It's the kind of people it has,
the kind it turns out and the kind of
things it does which bring everlasting
fame in the end.
Because a place is not as big in
population as its people had hoped for
should cause no great regret; but if
1t is not forging ahead in numbers be-
cause of the care it takes of its resi-
dents, then there is reason for shame

FEW TRAINING coNvENlENcES
Baseball Stars in Earlier Days Didn't
Enjoy Vapor Baths and Show
ers After Contests.

Baseball players who lived during
the days when Hughey Jennings. John
McGraw and Willie Keller were star
ring with the Baltimore Orioles, didn't
even take a bath after the long,
sweaty workouts. Jennings says it's
so different now.
"These kids Of today wouldn't be
content without marble tiled showers
and vapor baths. In my days we con-
sidered ourselves lucky if we had wa
ter to wash our hands with.
"The Baltimore club, under Ned
Hanlon, trained at Macon, Ca, in
1894, 1895, 1S96-all pennant winning
years for US. We had no showers, no
trainer. no rubber. no clubhouse even.
Sat the end Of each days practice
we walked back to the hotel in our
uniforms and if the public bath didn't
happen to be occupied we took turns
at it. When our arms got stiff we
rubbed each other, or more frequently
grinned and bore it, and worked the
stiffness out the next day. Had any
player on that team suggested team
rubber he'd have been jeered at as
iude."

Faulty chimneys Cause Fire.

summary of the various causes
OF fire shows that those attributable
to chimneys annually amount to from
10 to 26 per cent of the total number,
while in winter the percentage has
reached as high as 80. This is signif-
icant when it is realized that most
of these fires result from carelessness
and could be avoided by proper atten-
ton.
In cities and towns with proper fire
protection many fires are arrested
without serious loss. 1t is evident that
in rural districts where there are no
organized fire-fighting agencies, and
where a fire usually results in total
loss, builders should give more atten-
ton to making the construction of all
new chimneys as nearly freproof as
possible.
