| SPORTS ¢ WOLGAST GREATEST LIGHT- WEIGHT, SAYS JEFFRIES. “Wolgast 18 the best light- welght in the world,” says Jef- fries. “He is a fighter pure and simple. He doesn’t pretend to be a fancy boxer. There's no doubt about his gameness and hitting qualities, which make a- schamplon. Whenever he meets a challenger over a route string along with him, for he has won- derful stamina and lmproves as the battle progresses. I think he will whip Moran, who is his most dangerous rival, and I in- tend to back him, even though I will not be at the ringside. It is possible that Wolgast was afraid to cut loose agalnst K. O. Brown because of his weak left arm, but as that member is strong again I expect bhim to beat all comers.” Wolgast's next fight is with Frankle Burns, the California lightwelght, in San Francisco May 29. The distance is twenty- five rounds. Burns recently knocked out Lew Powell and won on a foul from Hogan, who was in a bad way when the of- fense was committed. Wolgast is confident that he can stop Burns before the limit is reached. CALLAHAN CAME BACK.® Veteran Outfielder of White Sox Sur- prising Fans With Fine Game. There is perhaps not another in- stance on record where a player after being out of the big league for six or seven years has returned and starred Fhoto by American Press Assoc¢tation. JIMMY OALLAHAN, VETERAN OUTFIELDER. a8 is Jimmy 'Callaban, the Chicago Americans’ left flelder. When Calla- han quit the big league some years back it was generally conceded that he had seen his best days, and no one ever dreamed that after six years or more he would be able to come back and prove the star of an outfield that 18 rather classy. But Callahan has ac- complished this and is today playing the best ball of all the members of Comiskey’s team. Cal is still a young man, and there 18 no reason why he should not be as good a ball player as he ever was. Surely he is a big improvement over some of the youngsters Manager Duffy had slated for outfleld positions. In- cidentally Callahan is of great assist- ance to Hugh Duffy. No one knows the game better or is more capable to glve advice than Callahan, and he will undoubtedly be Duffy’s right hand man. GEERS EXPECTS BIG YEAR. Famous Reinsman Will Start Season With Powerful Stable. Edward F. Geers, the dean of the trotting sport, 1s looking forward to this season as being one of the ban- ner years of his long career in the sulky, It will be his thirty-first trip down the grand circuit, and from all appearances it may be the most suc- cessful campaign the “G. O. M.” has ever entered. During his long service in the light harness sport Mr. Geers has marked nearly sixty horses with records bet- ter than 2:10. He is credited with having given records of 2:10 or better to thirty trotters and twenty-four pacers. In Memphis Mr. Geers has fifty-two horses he. is pointing for this season’s jaunt down the big line, and it means that he will wind up the season by giving several more trotters and pacers fast records. Mr. Geers likes to drive. Although he has been crippled by numerous ac- cidents, he still enjoys to be in the thick of a grand circuit contest where ‘wheels of one sulky are scraping with wheels of those on elther side. Fear is unknown. to him, and it takes a mighty severe accident to keep him out of the sulky. His legs and arms have been broken several times, and he has recelved many other injuries that have twisted him out of shape, but still he keeps on. Willett Pitohing Fine Ball. Pitcher Edgar Willett of the Detrolt Americans s away to a good start, and if, fortune can smile on the big Kansan for a full season the American league is likely to see a star of the highest magnitude in its midst. The heretofore hard luck flinger is mow twirling some great ball for Hugh Jen- nings. Cricket to Be Livelier.

Whims of Parrots. “It 1s o0dd,” sald the bird store keeper, “but it is true, how people come into & bird store and expect to open up a conversation with a parrot offhand. They fall and then make up their mind that the parrot is worthless. This will apply to a majority of seekers after a talking parrot. They do not give the bird credit for the sense it actually possesses. There are parrots valued at anywhere from $50 to $500 that will not be coaxed into conversa- tion with a stranger nor while he is present, although they are the very best of talkers. Parrots often refuse to perform when there are purchasers looking on, but once the store is clear of them they will chatter away through their whole vocabulary as if their very lives depended on their being heard. This obstinacy often spoils good sales. Most parrots will talk to a girl or wo- man much quicker and freer than to a boy or a man.”—Browning’s Monthly. Superstitious. “What!

For: several seasons Cleveland fans have been asking, What is the matter with George Stovall? These fans de- mand that the club get a first sacker of the caliber of Hal Chase. The Naps' management has tried out many ryen on the initial bag in the last few sea- sons, but all have been sent back to the minors, and Stovall still continues to be guardian. of the initial station. The real answer to the question asked by the fans is short. One word of six- letters, L-a-j-o-i-e, answers it all. George appears to have suffered from working beside one of the greatest players in the country for several years. It Is a peculiar case of a star ball player spofling the fielding ability of a mediocre one. Stovall perhaps covers less ground around first base than any other first Photo by American Press Assocfation. GRORGE STOVALL, OLEVELAND'S FIKST BASEMAN. sacker in the American league, and all because for a number of years he has been working beside the peerless Lajoie, who not only covered all of his own territory, but also a good por- tion of Stovall's. Any Nap fan will tell you that Sto- vall's greatest weakness is going to his right after a grounder. He simply can't get over the ground. Stovall isn’t naturally a shirker; he's a good, hard worker, and he has plen- ty of Lp:eball brains, but he is getting fearfully weak in fielding. Going to the left he is as good as any of them, and be bas made some remarkable catches. He is just unfortunate in that he has had to play beside one of the most wonderful players In thé game. MEXICAN FIGHT | NEAR END New Peace Move Likely to End in Cessation of Hostilities. El Paso, Tex., May 16.—The end of the revolution in Mexico seems near. Judge Carbajal, federal peace com- missioner, received telegraphic in- structions from Mexico City to pro- ceed with peace negotiations along the lines proposed by Rafel Herman- dez, based upon Madero’s demands. The telegram to Judge Carbajal s believed to be signed by President Diaz himself, and it i rumored con- tains a formal acceptance by the pres- ident of the propositions suggested. Without doubt formal peace nego- tiations will be immediately resumed. The government is believed to be ready to reorganize the cabinet and give the insurrectos four members out of eight and to allow the revolution- ists to name outright fourteen BOV- ernors of twenty-seven states and- by mutual agreement select the remain- ing thirteen governors. More definite advices giving the at- titude of the government are expect- ed shortly. Optimism of the probable success of the peace parleys now tak- ing place by telegraph with Mexico City prevail. ~ It is not believed that Colonel Ra- bago, who was reported to be march- ing on Juarez, will provoke any en- gagement at this time, though the in- surrectos are taking no chances and are preparing to meet him. Some re- ports have it that Rabago, Villa and Terrazas are not far from Chihuahua and 2 week’s march from here await- ing orders. The belief exists that the federal government will not in that case send him marching orders in view of the probable success of the present negotiations. Testing the “Bud.” An old bachelor had somehow stray- ed into a young people’s party, and, realizing that he could not hope among 80 many handsome youths to make the heart of a single maiden throb, be said to the nearest girl, whose conversation had shown somewhat more good sense than he had expected: “Look about the ballroom. Notice that the girls who bave removed their gloves have well shaped arms. And— ahem!—some have not removed them'— “But nelther generalization fits me,” answered the girl, “for, you see, I have one arm bare and one gloved. - What would you say about me?” “Walk out and let me/}gok at them,” said the old bachelor unfeelingly. The girl took a few steps out, paus- ed and returned. “Take the other glove off,” said the old bachelor.—New York Tiraes.

B Forgigners in Canton Ready to Flee for Their Lives. Hongkong, China, May 16.—There are alarming rumors of a revolution- ary uprising at Canton: and the' sur- rounding districts. Europeans in the Shamien, the forelgn district of Can- ton, are prepared to leave. [The rest- lessness is widespread and tems of thousands of persons are fleeing from the disturbed section of this city. The revolt 18 sald to cover a wide area and to be led by relatives of high Chinese oficials who have been edu- cated in Japan. More than $1,000,000 i3 said to be available to the rebels. The leaders ot the revolution in For- mosa and Annam declare that they have enough dynamite to blow up the city of Canton. Decapitations of rebels and suspects occur daily in Canton. of those executed do not dare remove the bodies from the streets and as a result there is a horrible situation. Two British gunboats, one French, one German, one American and one Italian, are now oft Canton. Another German gunboat is. going to the city carrying two Maxim guns and a sup- ply of ammunition. The political unrest is general throughout South China. RATE CASE APPEAL FILED Attorney for State of Minnesota Asks for Eairy Hearing. ‘Washington, May 16.—The appeal of the state of Minnesota from the de- cision of Judge Sanborn of the Unit- ed States circuit court, on the cases involving the validity of the Minneso- ta commodity and passenger rates, was filed in the supreme court of the | United States by Attorney General Edward E. Young-for the state. With the appeal Mr. Young filed a petition to have these cases advanced for argu- ment soon after the beginning of the new term in October. Hale Halden, representing the railroads concerned, concurred in the petition for a hear- ing at the earliest possible date. VAGRANCY EVIL INCREASING Records of Charitable Organizations of Alarming Nature. New York, May.16.—From the count kept at the municipal lodging houses of the homeless, who seek shelter there, it is discovered that vagrants kave doubled in number in.New York recently. _Last month 16,000 persons were sheltered there, as compared with 7,750 in April, 1910. This year’s figures are five times the record for April, 1907.: :Officers of the Charity Organization soclety say that the in- crease 18 not confined to the city, but is noticeable all over the country. “Records show the vagrancy evil is assuming alarming proportions,” says a statement by Superlnwndent Blatch- ley. “The only remedy in sight s the establishment of farm colonies.” For Vliolation of "Lottery Law, New York, May 16.—Four men are under arrest here charged by the de- partment of justice with being agents of the Italian government lottery. They come under federal jurisdiction because they are alleged to have car- ried lottery tickets and livts between states. It is sald many thousand Italians in this country are constant contributors to the Italian government lotteries. 5 Herbert Spencer Was Human.
