But Benny's friends. in this stand,
ignore public sentiment, which plainly
demands a meeting between the two
lightweights. The New Yorker would
injure his prestige more than little
were he to duck out of a meeting with
Lew when his thumb has knit. No,
dope of that sort is all wrong. The
champion must defend his honors
against Tender if he hopes to retain
his present prestige as real title
holder.
Not His First Injury.
Are Benny Leonard's hands. brittle?
this question. Yet IT IS quite in order.
And no one seems to recall that. in "a
bout against Ted Lewis, Benny put his
left out of commission in an early
round and had to make a right-handed
fight out of it, coming through to a
decision. This is a very important
thing to take into consideration in
for he is getting along now and has
been fighting long time. The last
thing he could afford to have fail him
along about now would be his maulies.
AS for running out of the bout, it
looks as though Gibson. Leonard's s
manager, had too much at stake to
make any such scheme wise. He had
sunk $4,000 in arrangement for movies
of the battle: $1,000 forfeit was post
ed and special trains from New York
to Philadelphia ordered. 1t is esti-
mated that Leonard stood to pull near
ly hundred thousand dollars out of
the bout, win or lose.
The statement of Lew Tenders
manager that he. will merely hold
LeonArd's $1,000 forfeit until Leonard
gets INTO the ring with Lew and will
then return the money, listens like a
fair proposition and one to which Glib
son and Leonard should whole-hearted-
ly agree

l have been down to Tuscaloosa, Tuskaloosa, or Tushkalusa. Just take your choice as to spelling, as saw three of them used on sign, guidepost or monument
 It is always q bit risky to dogma tize about how names originated, and when it comes to their meaning there is wide latitude for q difference of opinion.
 In history of Tuscaloosa" I saw the statement tnae 1t means Black Warrior" from the two Choctaw words Tusca, warrior and Lusa, black the town taking it's name from the beautiful river on whose banks 1t is located, the abor ginal name of the river now called Black Warrior being Tuscaloosa.
 The region about the Black War rior, where Tuscaloosa now stands, was in time long past claimed by the Choctaws, and in 1S4O when DeSoto crossed 1t on his memorable expedi- ton, they held h1l the region round about 1t. But as the CrfeekS and Choctaws were perpetually at war, and the Creeks the more aggressive, the Choctaws were gradually pushed towards tho west.
 The Creeks called tho river flow
 
 meaning River of Canes" This war like tribe, which in 1909, built vil- lage called Preechee Emathla below the falls on neutral or debatable grounds, but 1t was destroyed by a band of Chickasaws under the com Inand of Col John Mckee in the year 1913.

 It was beautifully staged and cos tuned and given in six episodes, opening with tho meeting of Tush- ka-lusa and DeSoto. 1540. Then followed the rescue of Mrs. Crawley by Tandy Walker, 1912.

Manila, P. l., October 15.--Le onard Wood became governor general of the Philippines today. He was sworn immediately upon his arrival from Japan, and took up the duties of his new office.
 Honesty, morality. economy, effl- cheney, progress and government OF the people by their representatives to the extent provided in the Jones bill were the keynote of Governor General Woods inaugural address.
 "It is my purpose" he said, ESQ far as it lies in my power, so to con- duct the government that it will be characterized by economy, efficiency and true progress; government of the people by their representatives, to the extent provided in the Jones bill, government characterized by honesty and morality and apprecia- ton of the fact that public office Is public trust; that fitness Is an absolute requirement. for appoint ment to office.
 There must be no turning back, but steady progress on sound lines. The people of the Philippines have made wonderful progress during the last 23 years. l doubt if any poo pie under the friendly guidance of another have made a greater advance in the same period.
 This has not been accomplished by the Filipinos alone, but with the absolutely unselfish aid of the United States, acting through thousands of loyal and unselfish Americans, who have worked with an eye to the best interests of these islands.
 Must Not Forget spain
 Tn considering the progress made, we must not forget the work of Spain through the centuries spent in implanting the Christian faith. Flu ropean forms of administration and foundations of law, which although covered in places. have greatly facil- itated the rapid upbuilding of rep resentative government among Christian, self respecting people, free of caste distinctions. and i'm bued with occidental. rather than oriental ideas of government and of ideals.
 The judiciary must be independ- ent and stable and keep absolutely outside of politics. For an inde- pendent and fearless Judiciary is the foundation of stable government.
 We must push forward our pub lie works. especially roads and irri- gation We must give far more at tention to public health. Too many precious lives are lost each year that could be saved. Almost one-third of all children born in the Philip pines. die in the first year of their lives frightful indictment of our sanitary and health conditions.
