K. Pancoast, skiographer of the Univer- sity of Pennsylvania, has discovered that it is possible by means of the X-ray to so bleach the skin of a negro that, to all intents and purposes, the subject becomes a white person. The | condition of a person so treated is ap- | parently permanent. This discovery was made incidentally while negroes were being treated in the university for cancer and lupus, and while no attempt has been made so far to experiment with the skin of a healthy negro, Dr. Pancoast says it s poseible to change the color. The skin of a negro who has been under the ay is quite like that of ordinary white man and presents a perfec healthy appearance. The skin is natural, despite the fact that the rays ha destroyed the pigment which caused the coloring. —_—— Increase in Labor Unions. ALBANY, N. Y., Dec. 27.—The New York State Department of Labor, in its bulletin issued to-night for the quarter ending October 1, reports a great increase in membership and in unions established. At the end of September the Bureau of Labor statis- tics registered 2582 trade unions in this State, this being an increase of 225 over the number six months pre- vious. The total membership is 395,- 756, an increase of 38,634. New York City gained 24,361, or 11.3 per cent in membership. — e ———— Germany has on an average of 806 or- chard trees to the square mile. i | morning. RIVAL BOXERS ARE RESTING AFTER SIEGE OF TRAINING Young Corbett Will Probably Be a More Pronounced Favorite Than Was at First Expected, Having Made the Required Weight Easily---Quarters of the Featherweights Are Thronged..Daily CHAMPION AND CHALLEN- GER FOR THE TITLE AS THEY APPEAR NOW, Champion Corbett and Eddie Hanlon, challenger the center terday of admiring throngs yes- their respective tralning quartefs. Hanlon, with his spacious gymnasium, was able to give his friends a view of him in action. Cor- at bett was unable to do this, as he was | wreck his | afraid his visitors quarters. He went on the road in the morning and lounged about during the after- noon, keeping as much as possible out of the public eye. He gave out his weight as 1304 pounds. He expects to retire to-night at weight and counts on being a pound lighter on Tuesday This is all the leeway he wants in order to make the required weight at 6 o'clock Tuesday evening. Corbett has changed his point of view of life noticeably since his last visit here. Cupid, the god ef love, is said to have taken a hand in shaping his future career. He has set his heart on winning this fight and, possibly, one other on this coast. He expects New York to be open to the boxers next winter and sees a golden harvest to be garnered there if he can retain his premier position among the little men. Five miles on the road in the morn- ing and two hours of light work in his gymnasium in the afternoon was tha extent of Eddie Hanlon’s training at his camp in Alameda. He took his early spin in company with Harry Foley, who has watched the little fel- low’'s training with an eagle eye for the last five weeks. In the afternoon Eddie was visited by 500 persons from this side of the bay. He punched the bag, skipped the rope and knocked cut imaginary Young Corbetts for their entertainment, and was then given his usual rubdown. Hanlon will do noth- ing in the training line to-day outside of light roadwork. To-morrow he will again take to the highways for a breathing spin, and after returning will rest up until it is time to start for this city. The opinion of betting men is that Corbett will be a six to ten choice to- night when wagering ceases. They base this opinion on the ease with which he has made the stipulated weight, thus guaranteeing that he is in condition for a hard fight. Then there is the con stantly recurring question of “class. This is defined as a quality which gives to the man, horse or dog possessing it the ability to do a little better than an opponent at a critical stage of any contest. Since he won the champion- ship Corbett has shown this “class” in a marked degree. - It mattered not how might & | | for the coveted title, were| KENNEL MATES DIVIDE STAKES | James Sweeney's Reckless Acro- bat and Ragged Actor Run One, Two at Ingleside Park LRI PR | | ‘ Reckless Acrobatyand Ragged Actor, two greyhounds from the kennels of | James Sweeney, carried off the hon- | ors yesterday at Ingleslde Coursing | Park.

It seems almost assured that Han- lon will carry the fight to Corbett. He felt the force of the champion’s blows once and while there will be immeas- urably more driving power behind them on this occasion it will hardly cost him a thought. He has supreme confldence in his strength and in his ability to assimilate punishment. Harry Pollock, the clever sporting editor of the New York Evening World and manager of Young Corbett, arrived here last night to look after the cham- pion’s interests. He brings word that Jack Munroe, the Butte boxer, will be here to-night, comin: from Montana to see the fight Miss Wil- Acrobat, a bye; Rag- ICLOSE MATCHES ON THE COURTS Schmidt and Rolfe With Allen and Hill Remain for Finals of Tennis Doubles Tourney e ey The handicap doubles tennis tourna- ment commenced on Christmas day at the California Club courts was com- pleted yesterday down to the finals. The matches were all so long and so berd fought that the players reaching the finals were unable to continue. The successful teams were Herbert Schmidt and Harry Rolfe and Will Allen and Dr. H. P. Hill. The matches of yesterday were the | closest and most interesting seen in the club courts in months. The last match of the day was by far the Dest. All three sets went to deuce-vantage. | The contestants were Alien and Hill and Ray Splivalo and Ray Cornell. The latter received a handicap of “owe 5-6.” With the same odds they had vrevious- ly beaten Will Collier and C. J. Smith, and were expected to win. The handi- cap men after having a lead of 5— which they lost, finally pulled out the set, 8—6. In the second set they again led at 5—2, and in the eighth game the score stood owe 15 and 30—0 in their favor. Allen and Hill by clever playing soon ran the score up to 5—5. At 6—5 and 40-30 the match looked over, W Cornell, through overanxiety, smashed a short lob into the fence. Allen and Hill won this set, 83—6. In the third set the scratch men led at 5—2. The handi- | cap men, to the surprise of the specta- tors,, evened up the score at 5—5 and led at 6—5. Allen and Hill again ran out the set, 8—6. Splivalo was tired in this match and his partner was forced to cover most of the territory on his side of'the net. Both men played better than ever before, but Splivalo hugged the net too closely. Another good match was that b tyween Harry Rolfe and Herbert Schmidt and Sidney Salisbury and Frank String= ham. The former received the trifling odds of “owe 1-6.” Like the foregoing match, this one was full of long rallies and the outcome was in doubt until the end. Splivalo and Cornell had a hard time beating Smith and Collier in the | first roynd. Collier played vather a weak net game, and got short lobs back instead of killing them. Splivalo and Cornell played a fine defensive game, their lobbing being excellent. Allen and Hill allowed Dan Volk- mann and Herbert Gray an extremely large handicap and just managed to win out, the last two sets being close. The final match will be played Sat- urday afternoon and should be a good one. Schmidt and Rolfe will receive odds of “owe 3-6."
