VIII NV uoAuS UOuiS Ou one
card scheduled for tonight at the
Empire skating rink, standing room
will no doubt be at a premium. In
all there will be % rounds of mill
ing. The first bout will get away
promptly at $3.50 o'clock and the
last one will probably end about
1o:3o, providing they all go the
limit.
Tommy Comiskey OF st. Paul and
Goats" Doig Of Spring Valley. are
tapered down to fine edge for
this scrap. Both men have been
fighting regularly and are in about
as fine shape for 10 gruelling
rounds of mauling as it is possible
for one to get in. II there is a
knockout in this affair, suffice to
say that the one scoring the knock
out will be in a position to get a
crack at Champion Jack Britton's
crown in the near future. Doig has
already appeared against Britton,
and in one instance he is credited
with a draw. At any rate he is out
to force Jack to return match,
and to have his claims receive at
tention he will have to defeat
/ Comiskey.
Local admirers of Comiskey are
confident that the st. Paul boxer
can give Doig lesson or two with
the mitts. 1t will be the first time
the two have met in ring and all
they will know about each others
style will be the hearsay evidence
they have accumulated from we'll
meaning hackers. Tommy is hard
on the trail of Britton at this time
and he figures that by disposing Of
Doig properly that goal will be at
tanned before many more weeks.
Also he is anxious to beat Goats"
in view Of the latter's victory over
Dennis O'Keefe. 1t Is still food for
argument as to which is the better
man in the ring, Comiskey or
O'Keefe. Comiskey hopes to settle
this in a way by putting the skids
to Doig.
frankie Richie of Boone, Iowa,
is making his initial bow in this
city. He is heralded as a conner
in the lightweight ranks. Those
who saw Eddie krips of Chicago,
battle Buck Sargent Of East Moline
at Meanor's last show know that
Richie will be pitted against a
tartar and will have to travel some
to best him. This scrap is sched-
uled as the semi-windup. The boys
will box six rounds.

HANS AND TY.

HANS AND TY.
This is Ty Cobb's 18th season as
regular, 1906 being classified as
his debutante campaign, although
he worked few games in 1905.
Hans Wagner in his 18th season
led the National league for the last
time, although he still persisted for
several more seasons in batting
300 or better.
And Cobb in his 18th season Is
both younger and faster than Hans
was in his 18th session.
Cobb hes started slowly, but after
all 1t Is generally the finish that
counts. =

Average Human Beings.

Average Human Beings.
The average human being, even
the one with more than the aver
age amount Of friendIliness in his
nature, is generally first class
artisan at the gentle art of pasting
or panning some other human be-
ing.
Very likely you are willing to
grant this much without further
argument.
Bill Jones may be good fellow
and capable entry in about so per
cent of his mental and physical as
sets-but when Bill comes up for
discussion the odds that his 20 per
cent. which isn't no good, will
carry the bulk of the debate.
Yes, he's a good fellow. BUT"
And then they're off. The big
play will be made on his liabilities
aoout nine times out of ten.
1t may be that he made mis-
take here, or that he slipped and
skldded somewhere else.
This mistake may be surrounded
oy six or seven accepted chances,
out for all that it holds most of the
conversation, as a general thing.
The Baseball Example.
But take the working out Of the
average in baseball.
There is Ty Cobb, for one ex-
ample.
Cobb comes to bat ten times.
and in the course Of the season his
average for each ten times at the
bat will be 3.S hits.
The other 6.2 times will find him
hitless.
He fails at bat almost twice as
often as he succeeds. Yet you
rarely hear any one discussing the
e.2 failures.
Cobb, making 3.S hits out Of ten
umes at bat. is a star.
The ball player who makes three
nus out Of ten times up is first
class producer.
(Which shows that the figured av-
erage is good bit kindlier in its
sttitude than the average human.

.PANAcA RESIDENTS DISPUTE
OVER PRIVATE WATER RIGHTS

District Attorney A. L. Scott and
Deputy Sheriff John F. Roeder were
consulted the first of this week by
combatapts from Panaca. the dispute
revolving about the question Of water
rights at that place. Reports from an
authentic source bear out the claim
that fists We're used to a certain ex-
tent in the course Of the heated argu-
ments over the water situation. and
some reference has been made to the
disarming of one of the combatants by
the other.
Mr.. Danvers of Panaca, who is the
owner of thirty-five head of sheep and
who claims water rights sufficient fol-
the care of the animals, asserts that
his water was turned off for a period
Of two days and blamed William Keele
for the deed. He Is alleged to have ex-
planned to the district attorney that
he placed a gun In his pocket before
approaching the Keele place for the
reason that there were one or more
sons at the Keele home and he was un.
aware as to what might be necessary
for his personal protection.
1t seems that after an agreement
had been reached between the Keele.
and Danvers, one of the Keele boys re
lieved Mr.. Danvers of his firearm ani
followed the latter home, explaining
as his reason for so doing his fear tina
Danvers was returning to his hom,
for another weapon.
Attorney Scott is confident that tn,
difficulty can now be settled out o
court and efforts will be bent in tina
direction.
