Wilde Title .Ciinch Now;
 No Fighters

New York. March 1s.-Now, that
 Jimmy Wilde has taken the measure of Frankie Mason. the little Briton
 appears to be in no danger of losing
 his title of worlds champion flyweight
 while he renal z in this country. The
 flyweight division in America is de-
 cidedly limited In fact, there was no such thing as a flyweight division un-
 til Wilde made his appearance here and started the promoters hunting for men who could scale 108 pounds or less.
 Apparently the flyweight class be-
 gins with Patsy Wallace and ends with
 Frank Mason, with none in between.
 At any rate. they are the only Ameri-
 cans of Wilde's poundage who are worthy of mention.
 That American ring followers appre- ciate merit in a member of another |country as well as one of their own was demonstrated by the way the fans of Toledo turned out to see the English midget in action. The bout drew $32,- 1887. which makes record for boxers under the featherweight class It was only a few years ago that |yvillie Ritchie, lightweight champion, land Ad Wolgast former title holder, |drew a trifle less than $40.000 for a |no-decision bout at Milwaukee, rec ord that was considered truly remark |able. At that time bantamweights sell dom drew ss much as s10,00Q, even when the tide was at stake. Wilde is to leave for England in May. but before then he has time to |work in several other bouts, all of which will pay him well provided he mi fret 1a Hnxuauar |now that he has cleaned up the fly weight division in two bouts, it look s las though he will have to take on some [of the bantamWeights

W DUNG matron inquired seriously
 q the other day why her sex should not be permitted to witness boxing bouts. No reason at all. You see the ball games, the movies and enjoy other recreation. You'll soon acquire the ballot. You can smoke, if you choose; wear overalls and have your skirt cut to the knees. There is no reason within my vision why any we'll regulated suffragist can't do as she darned pleases-keeping within the law of man, mind you.
 Certainly, the Birmingham Athletic Club would not refuse admission to la boxing or wrestling bout to any respectable female who applied. A young woman attended the s. A. "A U. finals the other night. Her pres ence didn't create any sensation. She looked perfectly at home and found ringside decorum equal to that at a ball game.
 The identity of the young woman is unknown to me, but she appea ed to be enjoying herself and behaved like a veteran fight fan.
 Over in Nashville boxing club has arranged ladies night" but for why this rain check doesn't pre- tend to know. Why, every night at boxing bout shouldn't be ladies night" is beyond my ken. About the only advice the writer can offer to any woman who desires to witness a boxing exhibition is to watch the papers for the next show, buy ticket and pay the war tax and go to 1t.

 The swimming season is fast ap- preaching, says an exchange. We'll, that's about all we can do. Nothing around here to drink.

 J. Adlai West, who lives over Falk- vile way, once caught a man-eating alligator with hook and line, so there must be some hope for the Bir- mlngham man who's only trying for small fry.
 Bill Gleason has discovered phe- nom. His name is Faulk, and he halls from Austin, Tex According to yarn going the rounds, Comiskey met the lad last year and made him a present of $1,000 if he wouldn't play ball during the winter. Comiskey feared he might get bunged up. FaulB is said to be corking' good outfield- CT, a bang-up first baseman and some pumpkins as a pitcher. He will not join Gleason's bunch until after the June graduation at the University of Texas.

MAKING MORE MONEY.
"Check Your Baby"

"Men go into restaurant, check their hat and then, when they come out, thing nothing of handing the hat-boy a dime or a quarter for the privilege of being relieved of their own property. People come into a railroad station, leave their bags or parcels for few hours and are glad to pay ten cents rather than have to lug their encumbrances around with them. Why wouldn't women take kindly to the idea of checking their babies whifeS they are shopping? The principle ist the same and, if they were sure that. the little ones are well attended to, they would take very kindly to the idea
 These were the reflections of New York man 8 few years ago, when faced by the problem of making more money without the investment of capital, he began to look around for unexp1ored fields.

FREIGHT RATES AND

 "A barrel of flour can be sent from Minneapolis to Rochester, N. Y.. 1,023 miles, in a carload lot, at an increased cost of S.238."
