MILWAUKEE, FAILS
ASBOXINC CENTER
Big Purses in New York Hurt
Sport in Smaller
Cities.

Milwaukee, which was thriving
boxing center has ceased to attract
bouts of the first class of late. Bos-
ton. another important fight site,
has been reduced to staging bouts
between local favorites. The same
thing applies to New Orleans. Den
yer and ST. Paul. None of these
places can afford to compete with
the big purses offered in New York.
AS result the sport has ceased
thrive in other parts of the country.
for to keep interest alive IL is neces-
sary to show the fans a champion
ship match from time to time.
Many championship matches have
been held in New York since the
present boxing law went into ef-
feet. In fact. they are held so often
that they have become commonplace.
When title changes hands it no
longer is an event that arOuses tn.
whole boxing world
While it IL true that familiarity
breeds contempt. thu large mum
of championship matches is not the
only reason why boxing fans have
less respect for ring titles than in
the days of old. The Boxing Com
mission. by comforting titles on ur-
worthy boxers and taking them
away again on the slightest provo
cation. has cheapened them to d
gre extent
Only two titles now are regarded
as highly as they were in past
years. They are the lightweight
and the heavyweight. Benny Leon
ard has defended the lightweight
crown successfully at not too fire.
quent intervals. He has. performed
like a real champion and has upheld
the dignity of his position.
The heavyweight title, held by
Jack Dempsey. carries with it as
much prestige as ever. The Boxing
Commission has not had a chance
to fool with that one. with the ex-
ception Of his affair with Bill Bren-
to fight in New York. The longer
intervals between championship
matches the greater the interest
when one is held.
The fyweight championship was
not exactly created by local pro-
mOters, but it never amounted to
much until Johnny Bun claimed and
defended it. Buff really was the
first generally recognized champion
in that division. 1t is too new an
honor to carry with much prestige
Tha bantam title has been lost
and won r number of times under
the walker law. 1t has been tossed
around so much that il has become
somewhat shopworn and no longer
is the glittering bauble 1t was in
the days of Dixon and McGovern
Joe Lynch. the present holder of the
title. has not done anything to add
to the glory of his position. His
disgraceful exhibition with Jack
Wolfe in the Garden a few weeks
ago has killed off interest in Lynch
and his championship.
Johnny Kiibane has taken the
featherweight title right out of COM
petition. His refusal to defend the
honors has cost him tine respect or
ring followers. but his title still is a
much-coveted honor. 1t is SO long
since a featherweight match was
held that there will be a great deal
of excitement when Kilbane finally
Is lured into the ring.

amounted to much since the days OF

fighter to hold the honor. Jack Hrit-.

and I think that there never was a
better grade in the game than there
is at this time. Within the past few
years a number of Objectionable
characters have been discovered and
quickly weeded out. but there are
such characters in every field of en-
deavor.
Should there arise friction be-
tween the players body and the club
owners. and ! trust there will not, I
believe it will be found that the
players will stick together as they
did in the days of the brotherhood.
At that time attempts were made to
lure prominent players from the
brotherhood. but they stood firm
against the temptations placed in
their way. 1t is true that before the
season of 1890 opened there were a
few desertions from the ranks. but
once the playing season was under
way there were none.

Matter of Rivalry.

1T has been said that the forHna-
ton of players union would shat
ter the public's belief in the genu-
mess OF the rivalry which exists
among the players. I don't think
II would.
The value OF the union to base
ball will depend. of course. on how
il II controlled. have no doubt it
will be controlled wisely and well.
The great body of players are intel
lisent, earnest fellows who have at
heart the welfare of the game. and
there Is no thought on my part or
on the part of any one else who
knows them that they will elect to
ONCE men who will not reflect credit
upon them. The grade of men play
inA ball improves from year to year.

Did Not Control League.

Frequently il is said that the
players failed to manage their
league properly and at the end of
the season were glad to quit. do
not want to enter into a controversy
with any one. but in justice to the
players | want to say that this is a
misapprehensiOn. In the first place.
the players did not manage or con-
troll the league. Except in Buffalo,
where the majority of the stock was
held by Hardy Richardson. Jim
W ..ite. and Jack Rowe, the clubs
were run by magnates we had dug
up. and who differed in no way from
those in control Of the older leagues.
when the fight was ended |, was
because these nlagnates. and not the
players. quit. In New York, Brook
lyn and Chicago the club owners in
the Players League were induced
by the rival club owners in those
cities to consolidate with them.
That meant the end of the Players
League. bit it was no fault of the
players. The end Of the struggle
found them just as loyal as they
were at the start. hut they were
helpless without financial backing"

IN l847 play by an American author was
produced in New York theatre. 1t was the
custom then, as long since, for Americans
themselves to believe that that which repre-
scented purest culture must come from over
seas
Before the curtain rose on this new play, the
leading actor stepped before the footlights and
read poem-prologue which scoffed at the idea
that an American could write drama, and
then rebuked the sncer by emphatically declar-
ing that an American can. The audience
greeted the patriotic plea and the play with
cheers.
Since that day many Americans have written
many great plays. An American culture has
expressed itself as we'll in the field Of fiction,
poetry and philosophy; in art, music and in
science
Culture is just as much crop as corn. 1t is
the refinement of the product of the cultivated
field. Growing great crops, producing great
bulk, we have refined our output into the best
makes OF fcod and clothes the world has ever
known. r: the earth we dig both gold and

A ~TRUEn STORY.

AS most folks know the Idaho
Power Company spread themselves
and invited about twenty-six editors
of Southern Idaho to 60 on an inspec-
ton trip Of the company plants.
When the Editors and party arrived
at Shoshone Falls, I was in flrst-class
condition and took in everything from
start to finish with wide awake eyes.
Here Is one of the sights that gazed
upon, but I am not sure whether or
not my friend Mr.. Skinner saw the
same thing.
It had to do with a most remark
able frog and snake episode. The
snake was of the ordinary garter
variety, and the frog was a green
backed, long legged specimen. Both
were playing about the waters above
the Shoshone Falls. The snake
slowly pussy-footed upon the frog
and began to charm it. So complete
ly did the sneaking reptile engage the
frog that the latter pest made no ef-
fort to escape when spectators forced
the snake to relinQuish his hold upon
the frog. The snake was SO engr0s-
sed with the matter in hand that he
gave very little heed to the bystand-
ers and kept steadily at work siren
| ing the frog. After he had the frog
sufficiently within his power he made
an heroic attempt to swallow It, al
though the frog was several times
larger in circumference. The snake
took the frog head first. the latter
seemed almost Indifferent to the fatt
Iawaiting him. 1t required nearly
half hour for the snake to accomplish
this feat. The reptile was then ap-
preached and at once showed resent.
ment by sticking out his tongue. He
was killed and opened by Alden Hyde
of the Caldwell Tribune. The froe
escaped alive and returned to thu
pond. In a short time he had re-
covered from his Jonah" experience
and the last seen Of him he was swim
ming merrily about the pond.

the pen Of Fred F. Thevenin. W.

Repeatedly the Turks said to us OF
themselves that they were a nation of
sheep. One wise old Greek, who has
served Turkey for many years, added,
when they had shepherds, it was not
so bad, but now"
An American missionary who had
worked for many years among the
Turks said to us: 1.-The extraordinary
thing about the Turk is the way he
can flop about morally without ap-
prcciablc results on his character. He
can go on being q kind, hospitoble,
chivalrous being for so long that one
would consider him incapable of any
other conduct Then suddenly, with
out any apparent moral deterioration,
he can commit massacres and the
widest criminal excesses."
The head nurse of one of the for

feur is devoted to me. But 1 also

he would murder me tomorrow-with

Rollers to Build Church.

Members of the Church of God which
sect is commonly known as Holy
Rollers" have purchased a lot near
Hickory Grove and contemplate build
ing q church thereon in the near fu-
turc, it is said here. The Holy Rol-
lers" have a large number of members
around Hickory Grove and over in
Bullock's Greek township, 1t Is said,
and plans for the church building
which will serve practically all of the
sect in this vicinity have about been
perfected.
Municipal Officers.
Following are the officers or the
town for this year: c.. B. Ratchford,
mayor; Claude Jones, T. w. Wilkerson,
C. w. Kirby, j. Meek McGill, members
Of council; Richard Lanier, policeman.
Find Good Market.
While it is a good long way from
Hickory Grove to- Gastonia, to haul
country produce by truck, several
farmers Of this vicinity who have re-
Gently been doing it have found the
business quite profitable and give it as
their opinion that Gastonia is about the
best market in this entire section, A
truck. load Of farm produce hauled to
Gastonia this week included forty
bushels of sweet potatoes; forty-two
gallons Of home made molasses; /;
seventy dozen eggs and other things,
which were bought by Gastonians with
eagerncss and at higher prices than
could be obtained at other places. Dur
ing the past few months large amounts
of farm produce have been hauled
from this section to Gaffney, Rock Hill,
Yorkville and Gastonia and the indi-
cations are that the business will be
considerably increased this year.
