F|LIP|NOS MOURN
 WOODS PASSING
Aguinaldo Calls Him Best A-
 / miniStratOr Of Islands

Kamboanga, P. l., Aug. 8.-LP}- The sudden death of Governor Gen. eral Leonard Wood has thrown the entire Philippine population into a state of mourning. Half a million Mohammedans were grief stricken at the news, declaring we have lost our father-our best friend. There is no hope for Islam."
 The Moros are preparing to enter a period of intensive mourning, says dispatches from Cotobato, Lanao. and Sulu. They regarded General Wood as one man who understood them, as he won their confidence after conquering them at the bloody battle of Bud Oahu.
 It was learned that since that de- cisive affray, the late governor gen. eral had been privately supporting two Moro children found there inn mediately after the encounter and picked up for dead by American troops. They later recovered, and Wood took them under his care. Emilio Aguinaldo, former rebel leader, issued the following state ment:
 with the death of Governor Gen. eral Wood, America has lost it's best administrator of the Philippines a governor general who sought to improve in a notable way the ad- Ninistration of public affairs. Dur ing his administration he rehabili- tated our finances, which were on the verge of a precipice. Without violating the principle of separation of powers in domestic government he restored public confidence in the administration of justice.

TEX IS PLANNING l FOR NEXT FIGHT
Getting Ready for Championship Battle in 1928.

New York, Aug. 3 (UP)-With the financial and artistic success of his Chicago show assured, Tex Rickard already is talking a year ahead and drawing a mental pie ture of the battle for the heavy weight championship of the world in 1928.
 From a business standpoint it means little to Rickard who wins the fight in Chicago, as he already has Gene Tunney and .Jack Demp sey under contract to defend the championship next year.
 From a sentimental point of view and from the influence it would have on the box office, Rickard privately might prefer to see Demp- |sey stage a sensational comeback and regain the championship. Dempsey, according to your own ideas. may or may not have been the greatest of all the heavyweight champions but it cannot be dis puted that he was the greatest drawing card the ring ever knew and he still has a tremendous ap- peal.
 Tunney's class as fighter and q champion probably isn't appreciated at its real value but there is nl doubt that he is not the drawing card that other champions have been. The heavyweight champion | always will be an attraction but Tunney never will have the follow. ing that Dempsey had.
 Rickard had many an anxiou! moment after he had obligated himself to the extent of million dollars to get a monopoly on the services of Tunney after he hat beaten Dempsey in Philadelphia last September.
 He had to make one of the big gest gambles of his career on tn. Dempsey Sharkey fight. First h. had to persuade Dempsey to return to the ring and then to smack hi million or more on one card tha the fight would develop a colorfu challenger for the champion.
 If the fight had gone 15 round and Sharkey had won a close de cision without showing much form his big fight would have beer

zoo Feet of Wooden Span Destroyed by Fire Believed to Have Been
 Set-Excursionists Delayed.

Matawan, N. J.. Aug. 8 R-De- claring he was convinced" that the damage done to the long wooden trestle of the New York and Long Branch railroad was caused by fire of incendiary origin, Police Chief Edward c. Sleat today pushed his investigation.
 Discovered shortly before 2 a. m yesterday, after a passenger train had passed, the blaze consumed about 200 feet of the superstructurc of the long wooden span before it was extinguished.
 Shore traffic of the Pennsylvania and New Jersey Central railroads over the bridge was suspended un- til early evening, the resultant de- tours causing hours of delay to thousands of excursionists. Rerout- ing of the trains was effected by way of South Amboy to Point Pleasant, thence to Asbury Park. Fire inspectors of the Central rail- road expressed the belief that em- bers from a locomotive might have been the cause.

Eton, Eng, Aug. P)-There are other Solomons in the world than the one in the Biblical story who had o7S wives, 3,234 children, and 14,522 grandchildren.
 There is one in England, whose right name Is John Thomas Harris. But his father before him was known as Solomon, and his grand father before his father, so he in herits the name.
 Solomon, jovial little man who looks as if he had stepped from the pages of Dickens, is the careful keeper of the top-hats at Eton. Top hats at this famous school for boys are the everyday headgear. so it re- ouires a lot of work to keep them in shape. To make the battered. roughened and shapeless topper as smooth and shining as if it were new is Solomon's job and Solomon S art

Gehrig, the 'boy buster" with a total of 37 has hit as many more home runs so far this season as he did in his two previous campaigns with Yankees put together. Colum- bia Lou bagged 21 in his first full season, 1925, and Is last year.

 FOR FIRST TIME
Babe Ruth Has Led in Home
 Run Race for Nine Years

New York, Aug. 8 R}-If Babe Ruth Is beaten by his waIloping young team mate, Lou Gehrig. in the 1927 race for home run honors it will be the first time in nine years that the battering Bambino, in full health and strength and during a full season, has bowed to any rival.
 Ruth has been outslugged twice in eight previous seasons of home run carnage, on both occasions by Rogers Hornsby, but the Babe had good alibi each time.
 In 1922, when Ruth, after his banner year, yielded home run laurels to Hornsby, the Bambino spent the early part of the season on the side-lines. under suspension for defying Commissioner Landis in making a transforming tour of the country. Starting late Ruth made a gallant effort to overtake Hornsby but fell seven homers short, their re- spective totals being 42 and 34.
 Again in 1925 Hornsby got the ad- vantage of an early start, while the Babe was out of action with his famous stomachache. The "Rajah" led the pummeling parade that sea- son with 39 homers while the in valid Ruth, below his customary form even when he did return to the lineup, collected only 25. The only other year. outside of the current campaign, when Ruth's supremacy has been checked was in | 1923 when the Yankee clouter was tied with Cy Williams of the Phil lies at Al homers apiece.
 l Here is a comparison of Ruths totals with those of his main rivals since 1919:
