By PAIL E. MICkELSON


 Associated Press Sports Writer)
 Chicago, Aug. 13 LP,-Mention prize fighting 10 old K. O." Brown and he will jump into the days way back when he was one of the top notchers of the ring.
 But mention football and a per plexed grin ~ill spread over his bat tle-scared face.
 For 1t was q football game that made the famous old fighter of more than a decade ago angrier than any blow he received in his long career in the leather tossing industry.
 K O." fought a big shot in Philadelphia many years ago and knocked him out. II was quite q victory for him, but the sports edi- tors of Philadelphia papers failed to give him what he thought was a. satisfactory play
 Raging, the fighter and the man. ager bore down upon the sports edi- tor of one of the leading news papers.
 While the manager argued with the editor K. O." loitered about. Soon copies Of the afternoon edition were delivered from the press room. On the first page the eye of the dis gruntled f1ightcr caught this head ing:
 Yale Beats Brown"
 Cursing. TX. O" rushed 10 his manager. waving the newspaper
 Just look at this, will you," he roared. Tt says here Yale Beats Brown. That's the way they treat me, Why, I've never seen this guy Yale, and yet they say he walIoped mo. I'll knock him out in two sec onds any time"
 Manager and sports editor both tired to explain to K. O. but they had a harder time than Yale did in tanning Brown.

Owners and Players

Club owners in the cities VI here the night game has been adopted are almoest unanimous in declaring that the quality Of the game has not deteriorated. while tho attendance has sharply increased They point out that many people attend night games who cannot get away from their occupations in the daytime. and that it is moro comfortable in tho cooling Of the evening than during the heat Of the day
 For q time many Of the players themselves probably will be opposed 10 if, especially the old timers. but as Mel Ott Of the Giants expresses it: If the crowds justify it. We might as we'll get used to it,
 Bill Terry says; Its nice and cool at night and the boys won't sweat so much"
 Which is something, anyway.

New York. Aug 13 tPl-En- thusiasm m South America over Justa Suarez. Argentine lightweight who defeated Herman Perlick in New York last night, reached such heights that newspapers made more arrangements for adequate coyerago than they did even for the short but sensational career Of Luis Angel Fjrpo,
 Although Suarez has fought only twice in the United States and has yet 10 prove himself champion ship contender. South American pa pers, particularly in Argentine, set new records in recording his per formance last night. La Critica Of Buenos Aires had long distance telephone set up at the ringside at q cost Of several thousand dollars.
 Az the result crowds in the South American capital were able to hear through amplifers not only de- scription of the fight in Spanish but the roars of the crowd and the voice of Suarcz himself. Firpo came on the wire after the fight and talked with Suarez in his dressing room.
 Other arrangements for covering including six able wires to La Nacion and other prominent South American papers and press services.

4 sweeping reform has been en- acted in moro than 40 cities. large and small throughout the country. In these more than 4o cities the brutal spring and summer pastime of buryinC grandmothers, a hobby of office boys, has ceased. The reason is night baseball.
 From California all the way up to Connecticut cities are gradually turning 10 the idea Of giving their afternoons 10 business or golf and their evenings 10 baseball. The Pa cifc Coast league has gone in for ii in q big way the plan being to have all the parks lighted by next season. Houston, Texas, lighted up the other night and drew moro fans than for any day game previously played.

The idea IS slowly catching on with the big league magnatcs, who have been watching with fascinat- cd eye the increases shown in the minors where night baseball has been successful. No less astute baseball man than John McGraw is giving 1t q trial in an exhibition game al the Polo Grounds,
 Sidney Well the progressive pres ident Of the Cincinnati Reds, has been eager 10 givo il q trial for sev- oral months, IL is q coincidence that Cincinnati was one Of the pi- oneers in night baseball several years ago.

American RuIers-NOnsense!
Nations Business for october0


 James W. Gerard lawyer and Am bassador to Germany has picked out list of some sixty men whom he calls the men who rule the United States" It is for the most part list of Americas business leaders, whose names loom large at economic conferences and commissions and committees. It is almost without exception a list of men of great wealth.
 But to those if there be any who fear that the United States ruled" by an ogarchy of wealth we suggest this thought:
 If such a list had been made a generation ago there would certainly have been on it a Wander bilt or two, Astor and a Gould They were the names then that reused the fear of "plutocracy" as dominant in this country None of these names is MT. Gerards list.
 When some other Gerard in 1860 makes an- other list of the real rulers of America" how many of the names in this 1880 list will be left? Few we'd venture to say In that mythical 1860 list may be the name of that youngster who has just put your mail on your desk of who is now tending machine in factory and struggling with a correspondence course.
 We may not go from shirt sleeves to shirt sleeves in three generations" but the right and the opportunity which this country of does grant to every make it certain that we have in each generation a new group of leaders in busi- ness.
 And, with all respect to MT. Gerard, the men (and the women) who rule the United States" are the 120 million who counted the other day in the census.

Charges Against Bishop Cannon.
(New York World.)


 Our sympathy with Bishop Cannon, Jr., when he declined to answer questions concerning campaign expenditures in Virginia asked of him by committee of the Senate empowered to in vestigate lobbes in Washington. The committee plainly attempted to exceed his authority. Our sympthy also with Bishop Cannon when he resented publication by this Senate commit tee of data concerning his stock-market transec- tions. The committee had no warrant whatever to pry into Bishop Cannons personal affairs At the same time have wondered why Bishop Cannons personal affairs and his political affairs his purchase of stocks margin through bucket shop and his failure to file report on his ex- penditure of a campaign fund in Virginia, should apparently have been of little interest to his church.
 Four travelling elders of this church have now presented formal charges against Bishop Cannon in an indictment filed with Bishop William N. Answorth, chairman of the College of Methodist Bishops. The character of these charges is not known. Presumably they are concerned with some of the activities which have kept Bishop Cannon in the public prints in recent years. If so the proposed investigation is plainly proper one. Bishop Cannon's personal affairs are no concern of the Senate. They would seem bound to be of interest to his church.

Airships of 1850.
Manchester Guardian.)


 Colonel Richmond has admitted some doubt whether it would be twenty forty years before the British Association delegates arrived for their annual meetings by airship from the United States But he was quite that airships would be the regular method of passenger transport in the near future. He pictures them 1000 feet long and 200 feet round the middle-twce the size of the present largest dirgibes,-and he expects that the several hundred passengers will find them smoother and safer than the liner of today, and, in some ways, even more comfortable There are, of course limits roof garden, for instance he regards as an unreasonable luxury to expect from flying inn" This rosy view of the future of the airship may be perfectly justified. The immense technical difficulty that arises from the weight of the engine in the case of the aeroplane does not trouble the arship- builder, and Colonel Richmond made some remark able suggestions for dealing with the airshp's pe- culiar problems by providing it with scales or feathers But must allow something for the of the expert enlargng on his special topic. There is long way to go yet. The R-1OO recently reached the Canadian coast from Carding- ton in forty-seven hours; but must remember that she had waited for weeks for favorable weather conditions and even with the greatest skill in negotiating air currents her way she suffered severely in the last stage of her -to-wes pas sage. Her real time not forty-seven hours but forty y-seven hours plus several weeks We have triumphed over the air. but, far, not by any means subdued it.

WIND VELOCITY JUDGED WITHOUT
 INSTRUMENTS.

rule of thumb system devised by the United States Weather Bureau enables anyone to make a fairly accurate estimate of the wind velocity even when he is miles from Weather Bureau station.
 When the wind blows less than one mile per hour, smoke rises vertically wind of to three miles smoke to drift but does not move a wind vane. light wind of four to seven miles makes itself felt the face, rustles the leaves and moves wind vane, while gentle breeze of eight to 12 miles an hour keps leaves and small twigs in constant motion and extends light flags
 A moderate wind of l3 to Is miles an hour raises dust and loose paper and small branches while a fresh blow" of l9 to "A miles causes small leafy trees to sway gently and forms crested wave lets on inland waters
 A strong wind of 25 to 31 miles an hour moves large branches of trees. whistles through the tele- graph wires and makes it difficult to hold an um- brella open, while wind of 32 to 38 miles velocity sets whole trees in motion and retards anyone walk ing against the wind
 A wind of 39 to 54 miles hour is known by the Weather Bureau gale. When gale does not exceed 46 miles hour it breaks twigs off of trees and generally impedes progress but when stronger it causes slight structural damage, blowing

 The wind seldom blows 55y to 75 miles an hour inland but such velocity is known whole gale" When blowing at a velocity of 55 to 63 miles an hour, whole gale" uproots trees and causes considerable structural damage, and a GA to 75 mile whole gale" very rarely experienced causes widespread damage.
 A hurricane, blowing faster than 75 miles an hour, makes itself known with fury understandable only by those who have lived through such experience.
