OLDEST OF BOXING TEACHERS
De Witt Van Court of Los Angeles
Has Turned sixtieth Milestone
Still on the Job.

From Los Angeles comes word that
De Witt Van Court has turned the
sixtieth milestone. The man that has
taught the manly art of self-defense
longer than probably any other in
structor living is still on the lob at
the L. A. A. c., after having been in
the teaching department of the art for
more than thirty-five years. Professor
Van Court taught at the Oakland
Acme club, the Reliance club, the San
Francisco Olympic club and the Los

Whitfield WOULD HIT HURLER
AS Much Reason for Batter SIugging
Pitcher as There Is for busting
Off Batsman.

George Whitfield of the Pittsburgh
Pirates says there is just as much rea-
son in a pitcher throwing a baseball
to brighten a batter as there would
be in a batter taking bat and break
ing the arm of pitcher whom he
could not fit-same theory in each
case. And Whitfield hints that If he
finds any pitcher trying to dust him
off he'll do just that trick of equal
izing things by busting the offending
pitchers arm.

NO RIBS TO SPARE

All other unplayable lies on
golf course appear as nothing
when contrasted with new
story emanating from the Den
yer Country club. A member
Of fOursome playing the sixth
hole made a shot from the fair
way In behind a bunker, but
pulled his ball in the general di-
rection of the seventh tee. The
sphere bounded, struck caddy
on the head, then caromed over
L. B. Bromfield. who was on the
tee ready to drive, and landed
in the shirt pocket of r. p.
Barry, who was standing be-
side the tee. A fine argument
resulted over the manner of
playing the next shot. Several
members in the group proposed
that they lay Barry down with
his head toward the hole and
let the owner play his ball out
of the pocket as best he could.
Barry couldn't see the wisdom
Of this proposal from any angle,
his principal objection being
that he had no extra ribs to
spare.

Il PASO MEN COMING
 TO EXPLAIN ABOUT THE
 ROAD RACE MATTER

A telegram was received yesterday from the Fl Paso chamber, of com merce, addressed 10 Harry Welch. sec retary of inc local chamber in which it was stated that a committee of two members from the lcl Paso chamber were on their way to Phoenix to confer with the local directors and repre- sentatives of the automobile men.
 The fact that there seems to be some misunderstanding between the local automobile men and the Fl Paso authorities, who turned the local men down on Nthe Fl Paso- Phoenix road race, is considered by the Fl Paso chamber as being of sufficient impor- tance to straighten out immediately The telegram follows.
 "Hsrry WeIeh, Secretary Cham Der Of Commerce, Phoenix: Fl Paso chamber commerce directors keen " regret difficulties having arisen between our two cities. Directors are sending Mir. Rinehart and my self to Phoenix, arriving early on Monday morning, with instruc- tions to at all hazards square up things with you.

The facts of the matter are said to be that every effort was made by the local automobile men and the chamber of commerce to stage the Fl Paso- Phoenix road race. to end here during the faii. The sum of s500O was raised locally. with the understanding that El Paso would raise an equal amount. and with the entrance fees added to the purse a total of approximately S16.0O0 would be available for division among the winners.
 After numerous efforts to get the Fl Paso people to express themselves os 10 why no action could be secured from that city on the matter. a com mittee of Phoenix men called on Mir. Naquin, who. it seems. was the proper authority to handle the race.
 As reported in the Fl Paso papers. AIr. Naquin seized the opportunity to tell the Phoenix men what he thought of them, stating that Phoenix had not done it's share in the race conducted last year and asserting that Phoenix was S1000 short of what it had prom iscd to put in. He further stated that there was no possibility of staging the race: that the only race Fl Paso was interestedain was the Fl Paso-S Diego road race by way of Tucson.
 This created a very disappointed : feeling among tSe local automobile men and business men. as they had counted on this race as being a strong attraction during the fair.

II like tat of the theater, must

Buchanan has been painted all black
in the opening scene of the Civil war,

and sins of his generation and ban

one can see now, with the aid of hind

done, but not what he could have done.

than slavery was to blame for all the
trouble. He had not gone with Doug

1860, but had sided with the southern

When the first state seeded he was

of his term, with a hostile congress In

as irresolute as himself. AS he saw
the Union falling to pieces he hoped
on that it could be patched together
again by another old-fashioned COM
promise. All the while there were
southern members of his cabinet who
were staying in Washington only to-
ship federal war supplies south and
to aid in the preparations for Destroy
ing the government.
Edwin NJ. Stanton of Ohio, although
himself Breckenridge Democrat,
bluntly warned Buchanan: you are
sleeping on volcano. The ground is
mined all around and under you and
ready to explode, and without prompt
and energetic action you WIFI be the

"Mr. Stanton" pleaded the feeble
old man, "for Gods sake come In and

seat at Buchanan's cabinet table he

AMAZING FEATS OF STRENGTH
Pole, Without Seemingly Remarkable
Muscular Developments, Breaks Rec
ord-Performers Awful Fate.

Visitors to a well-known London mu-
sic hall some years ago witnessed a
remarkable sight.
1t was announced that a Pole,
named Lettl, would perform some
amazing feats of strength.
There appeared upon the stage a lit
tie man only five feet in height and
weighing about 140 pounds. Not
young, either, for he was only three
years off forty.
The audience rubbed their eyes.
Was this the much advertised strong
man? A. huge anchor was brought in,
and four men chung to IL. This bur
den, weighing no less than 1900
pounds, was at once lifted by Lettl,
who thus beat the record lift by no
less than 400 pounds
He then stood between two eight
horsepower cars. to which he at
tached himself by means of hooks,
which he held in his hands. The cars
were started simultaneously. but. by
sheer finger-strength, Lett held them
so that they could not move, although
the engines were working at full
power
This feat Of holding two cars may
perhaps be taken as pretty we'll the
limit of human strength. That 1t is
a fearfully risky feat is proved by
the horrible accident which recently
befell the famous strong man known
as Apollon.
At Vichy, before large audience,
he essayed similar feat, his arms be-
ing harnessed by chains to two cars
which were driven In opposite direc-
tons. He accomplished the perform
ance safely, and then, in answer TO
applause, tried 1t again. To the hor-
ror Of the spectators. he was seen TO
lose his balance. Before the motors
could be stopped, all the muscles OF
the right side Of his chest were torn
out. He died almost instantly.
