Worried Over Fighting Edge.

TOR three consecutive evenings
II Mr.. McLarnin was forced to
hone and sharpen his fighting
edge all over again. He didn't worry
about his weight or condition, but he
did worry a bit about his fighting
edge. Then the weeks postponement
came and gave him a chance to start
from the beginning.
81 don't think it'll hurt
either of u.s." said James. at
tempting to consider the case
of Mr.. Ross as well as his own.
Il don't know much about Ross
temperament and all that. but don't
see how it can do him much damage.
He hasn't got any worries about
weight. He'll come in with or 8
pounds to spare.
Weight is no trouble for me either.
I'm supposed to be a natural Welter,
and that's just what I am. Maybe
weigh about a pound over the limit
this morning, with no work under my
belt. That means that four or five
rounds of boxing will put me under
by good margin. I expect to weigh
in this week just the same as last
week to fraction-a shade over las"
There is said to have been
some mild disagreement between
James and his manager, Mr..
Pop Foster, about the value of
the game of golf to a fighter
in training.
Mr.. Foster. they say has a feeling
that fighters should train on hard,
unyielding surface. He deplores the
fact that natures green canopy is
apt 10 be Springy and resilient and
bad for a fighters legs.

PILOT MUST KNOW
WIND, WATER, BOAT
ReflnementS in Handling OF
Craft, AIertneSS Count
Heavily in Contest.
BY CARLYLE II. HOLT.

n NEWPORT, r. /, September II.
N With the races for the Amer
Y ica's Cup almost upon us, most
of us landlubbers follow the
spectacle, as described in the daily
papers. with more interest than knowl-
edge of what happens and why.
Very few of us will see the races
for the old mug. For the spectator. a
yacht race. any yacht race, is an
interesting and pretty spectacle. if he
is close enough to see it, but it is
seldom an exciting one. On board
one of the racers, however, the con-
test is one that calls on all mans
wits and most of his strength.
Nearly always there are tense mo-
ments when a false move, a mistake
in the handling Of the sails, fouled
rope, an error of judgment, means
victory or defeat.
Anybody who thinks that all racing
yachtsman has to do is to sit still
and enjoy the sea air has never taken
part in a good race, especially race
with respectable breeze.
Must Know His Boat.
~ AGING a sailboat is a specialized
sport. The successful skipper
has to be fanatic on sailing.
He has to study his own boat, so that
he will not only be able to get the most
out of her when she is sailing, but
so he will be able to experiment with
her rig until he hits on the most
effective arrangement. He must also
have a good racing sense in handling
his boat with relation to his rivals.
He must be intimately acquainted
with the winds in the waters where
he races. so he will know how every
wind of every variety of strength may
be expected to behave. He must have
a weather eye peeled to discover
changing conditions before the
changes reach him. And finally, he
should know how the tides run at
every stage of ebb and flow.
Given boats of very slight differ
ences in speed, the deciding factor in
the long run is the skill with which
they are handled by shippers and
crew. A good skipper and crew with
a comparatively slow boat can nearly
always beat a faster boat not so well
sailed.

FROM THE PRESS BOX
McLdrnin, Yearning for Action, Colts
While He Bides Time Until Ross Bout
BY JOHN LARDNER

n IEW YORK, September 12.-The
rain which washed our town
last Friday and scrubbed its
neck and ears over the week
end had no very damaging effect on
James A. McLarnin.
1t caused a nine-day postponement
of Mr.. McLarnin's welterWeight title
contest with Barney Ross, but James,
after a little preliminary bitterness,
has become reconciled to the situa-
ton.
1T was tough the first three days"
he said, staring thoughtfully at a
checker board in his hotel room, but
you have to take these things as they
come.
"On Thursday / looked out
of this window here and prayed
for sunshine. On Friday it was
the same way. On Saturday
they postponed it a week and
said, That's fine. Wen forget
about it,"
The business of looking out of a
hotel window is not too pleasant, if
Mr.. McLarnin informs us accurately.
He admits he was chafing for action.
His condition was about perfect. His
fighting nerves were on edge, and he
had his own ideas about what he
would do to Mr.. Ross as soon as he
got at him.

It seems certain that the conference

Roy Page, vice president and gen

ed the important part low electric
rates will play in the selling cam
paign.
"For many years" Nh. Page said,
"it has been the policy of our COM
panies to sell electricity at rates
which are attractive to customers in
order that they may enjoy the luxur-
les of electric appliances. We have
always had the lowest possible rates
consistent with good service"
In pointing out that electric rates
in Omaha and Council Bluffs have
been reduced sixty-two per cent in
the last 20 years he said that the
two cities, now enjoy among the low
est rates in the United States. The
same type of rate st ucture, Page
said, also applies to the smaller COM
munities served by the two COM
panies.
While electric rates for the last
score of years have steadily decreas-
ed. according to Page, the cost of liv-
ing has as steadily increased.

Revision of Nebraska tax laws
along constructive a d equitable
lines will be one of the most import
ant tasks confronting the next gov
ernor and the legislature, Stanley F.
Levin, president Of the Young Voters
League for Metcalfe for Governor,
said at a meeting of the league at the
Rome hotel Tuesday night
The tax bill, known as House Roll
No. 9, which provides for a tax bill
on credit accounts of business and
professional men and women, drew
the particular fire of Levin. He char
acterized this law as impossible Of
enforcement
"There is real work to be n Neb-
raska on taxation" hs said. "The
most practical form of relief is to be
found in a reduction of the cost Of
government through the elimination
Of jobs which have been created for
purely political purposes"
He declared that Metcalfe could be
depended upon to follow such a pro-
gram of strict economy.

Roosevelt goes into the middle of his
second year as Chief Executive with
every weapon for fighting depression
he wanted. The Congress has been
subjugated; it has lost vast amounts
Of both prestige and Importance.
Tho, e was never a period in our his
tory when a President was so power
full, and when the legislative branch
of the nation was so weak
Talk is now centering on the next
Congress. Mr.. Roosevelt will again
ask for much-but unless the signs
fail. he will have a hardin time get
ting it. There will be considerable
opposition to his ppposal for social
insurance, which will be one of the
principal planks in his program for
next year. He will also ask for more
regulatory legislation concerning nat
ural resources, principally water
and that will likewise be a live sub
ject for hot congressional debate.
The November elections will pro-
baby be the determining factor If his
party sweeps the county once more,
his influence on Senators and Repre-
sentatives will be as potent as ever
no Congressman likes to throw away
votes. If the Republicans make sub
stantial gains, such as taking 40 Or
80 House seats now held by Demo-
Gratis, the picture will under go de-
cisive change. Most politica; comm
entators. writing for papers repre-
senting both major parties, are Of
the opinion that the Republicans are
Likely to regain much of the ground
they lost in 1882. 1t is usual for the
party in power to experience more
difficulty in the off year elections
than in the years in which a presid-
ent is running.
