Big Fellow Should Do Mora Sparring In Order to Bring Baok tho Quick .nest of Eye Actual -Training Nar rowing Down, 1 " , , ; k By TOMMY CLARK. ' " : Reports from Jim Jeffries'' training camp at Rowardennan vary bo much from day to day that It Is next to Im possible for any one to "get a correct Una on the real condition of the former bollermaker from newspaper! reports. That the grouch that Jeffries Is charg ed with harboring has much to do with f I me uniarorabie reports which are sent i broadcast Is no doubt true, but there may be reason, too, which warrants i these statements. One day Jeff is as i good as he ever was, and the next hows plainly that he is not In form. - i Jeff's desultory style of training has : not ; been altogether pleasing . to : the followers of pugilism who hare been I watching from day to day the reports 'that emanate from Rowardennan. ;i. Wlille it Is conceded that the ex-cbam-plon and his trainers are In a position J to" know better than any one else what the big fellow requires to condition himself, there is another side to the ' story. , -.,' . The old question; of whether Jef- fries will be able to stand up under I the strain of a fight was to hare been ; answered in part by his work in camp. ' That work has not been such, howerer, as to glre any. true line. It is quite true that he has done a world of road : work, that he has tolled conscientious ly In the handball court and gymna sium and that upon occasions he has . worked furiously with the glores. There has. howerer, been too much . relaxation mixed , in with the boxing to satisfy people. . For erery day. that fhoto bjr American Press Association.

L . . u Bnueu uuwn ia ue mountains il has been announced that after the mid dle of June there will be no boxing lest there might be an accident to bis hands. That means the time for actual train ing is narrowing down. At the out side. Jeffries has not more than a month for actual work. He can afford also to do . his work more in the open end where the crowds can see him. It Is all rery well to designate the newspapers as the eyes of the public, but when there is too much secrecy the masses are quite apt to imagine ' things that are not so. All in all, it I behooves Jeffries to get down to seri ous business and let his friends know Just where he stands. - , Leifteld Will Earn Hie Baiary?- "Lefty" Lelfleld will hare a fine op portunity to earn his salary this year. Fred Clarke says he will be disappoint ed If the reteran southpaw does not ' pitch at least forty games . for the Pittsburg world's champions. - X MATTY HAS NEW TRICK TO X CATCH SLEEPERS. ( J Christy Mathewson, the New York Nationals' great pitcher, has I a new trick to catch the sWnorn. In making the play Matty stands t half fMni nhta ..! x . . . : . v urau as a leaser ne tosses a few slow balls to the first baseman. Tbst worthy is seemingly slow In touching the runner.. Returnlp-' the ball to Christy quickly, the hurler , rerurns it with lightning speed J and catches the runner flat footed off the bae. Of course the runner t comes up with a bounce and runs J a few times before he is finally caught , )t DRY GOLD WASHING. Portable Machine Adapted to Mining In Watorltss Dssorts. . It is a well known fact that there Is gold to be found ererywhere. The sands of the deserts are parrVularly rich In It. but the problem which con fronts the prospector here is the dlffl culty of extraction, which ' bus been heretofore Impossible In . the absence of water, the means of Its extraction. There has heen recently devltd a machine, readily MjriHble and simple in construction, by which the gold may be entirely removed from the sand and stony particles, by a dry process. , It Is claimed that the machine Is Just as efficient In Its operation as the wet process and with mu'h less labor. The machine Is operated by band, one crank driving both the mechanism by . which the soil is kept moving through the apparatus and also the ; i blower by which the "color" Is sepa -! rated . from the dross. The sand and ' j gravel are fed in at the hooper on top' , and allowed to run down 'the sluice ! quite In the same manner as in hydrau " lie sluicing. Here, howerer, the sluice Itself, operated by a simple eccentric. is given a side shake motion to further separate the particles and to Increase the trarel of the dirt through.lt . The bottom of this sluiceway con tains a series of riffles. These In them selves are unique and prove to be the' vital part of the Invention. Instead of projecting above tbe surface of the sluiceway, as In most sluice boxes, they consist of a series of depressions so arranged that In conjunction with the air blast, the precious particles are held and the other parts are allowed to pass down tbe incline. 'The pan used in this machine will hold about one-twentieth of a cubic yard, or about seven times as much as a band pan. and this quantity can be run through the machine In five minutes. . It Is said that this machine has vna Mew Dcoartm 1. Ave. Phone B ; withstood the test of actual service ln the west and ban demouHtrated Its advantages. A great point In Its faror is the fact that It may be taken apart and packed In two trunks of ordinary dimensions and rrndily shipped from point to point After being set up It may be readily moved about without dismantling, so that the miner is 'en abled to shift his scene of operation until be finds the most satisfactory point for work. Chicago Tribune. . AIRSHIP PROPELLERS. Built Up In Laysrs of Carsfully So- ; '''looted Wood. ' Propellers for alrshlDs are built of laminated wood-that Is to say. of wood built up In layers. For the mak ing of a propeller six or eluut feet In length there would te required, to be-! tfn with a stick of timber six Inches I or thereabout square, and such a stick J of solid wood, huwetef perfectly sea soned, might check or crack. For this ; reason the propeller is built of lami nated wood., of strips of selected and perfectly seasoned wood of the re-: quired width, which are planed down to the requisite thickness and then glued together under pressure, making a practically solid stick of material less liable to check. , " " Some airship propellers of laminated wood bare been made with tbe lami nations all of spruce. " One New York concern - making propellers produces . m ivuiwuwiwu wi turn auu mahogany, three layers of ash and two of mahogany.' ' . :' " " The sharing out of the blades from this stick, each of , precisely, the re quired taper, pitch and thinness and the two exactly alike, Is work that calls for the greatest - patience, care and skill. The perfect propVller In Its finished state Is a beautiful example of good workmanship. . - . A six foot propeller of , laminated wood, tta weight six and a half pounds, costs $50; a seren ' foot propeller, weight nine pounds, f 00. and an eight foot propeller, weight twelre pounds. $70. ..;..,' ;"..,.'...v, . . The Horso of Glnoial Timaa. A small, slender limbed horse roamed over Europe In glacial times and was hunted and sketched, along with tbe mammoth, by tbe paleolithic dwellers In the British isles. A curious method of reproducing tbe ancient animal has been adopted by Professor J. C. Ewart. tbe British naturalist. From tbe fos sil remains available he has made a study of the species", which he has named Equus agllis. and has attempted to restore it by combining the essential characteristics as found : In modern horses. . His experiments have Includ ed the blending of seven : different breeds Connemara. Welsh, Hackney, Iceland, Hebrldean. Shetland and Arab, ne has succeeded In producing a num ber of small ponies of slight build and believes that they restore the borse of glacial times, not only In form, dispo sition and color, but In details of limbs and teeth. ' The ponies are yellow-dun In color, active and Intelligent: Fecundity of Oysters. . The fecundity of oysters is unparal leled, according to Professor Herdman f ."the TJnlrersity of , Llrerpool, who says a single oyster Is capable of pro ducing sixteen million; that In the next generation, if these all lived and thriv ed, they In turn would produce two hundred and fifty-six millions of mil lions; in, the third generation there would be four thousand and ninety-six million million million. In the fourth generation sixty-three thousand five hundred and thlrty-stx million million million million. Then when be came to tbe fifth generation that one oyster of the first generation would have be come one million forty-eliiUt thousand five hundred and seventy-six million million million million, or one hundred and thirty-one times tbe bulk of the earth. - C.

Foolish to' Work In More Than Fifty . Gamts a Season. , : , v Does it pay to be an "iron man" Li baseball? This question is now being ilsked on the big league circuit " Many twirlers think it a great honor to pitch fifty or more games a season or two, but in doing so ruin their salary arms. The most recent case is that of big Ed Walsh, the star "pitcher of the Chi cago Americans. ' ' 'i ,3 - In 1908 Walsh waa the "iron man." He pitched sixty-six. games, winning forty,5 losing fifteen and " tying one. What did spitballer Ed do last sea son ? Not very much. He won fifteen and lost eleven games." That record KD WALSH, STAB TWIBLKB OF WHITl BOX. does not compare favorably with that of the previous year, does it? ; Recent reports say that. Walsh's arm is giv ing htm considerable trouble and his career In ' the maiors la short. Of course nobody can correctly prognosti cate what Walsh may do later . In tbe season, but if he again pitches star ball he can be recarded as more or less of a marvel.- He is close to that In physique now, but the salary arm of the major leaeue baseball Ditcher Is an entirely separate piece of mech anism from tbe rest of his constitution. As the baseball world Is aware, no "Iron man" is one who can work at least four games a week and be ready to act as the main Btem In a double header In between if any are carded to be. played. The "iron man" must be always willing to unloosen some of tbe steel in bis arm for tbe benefit of his club. , Joe McGInnlty used to be the best "Iron man" In the business. . He could pitch a double eneacement todar and go In and wheel again tomorrow. And be used to win tbe majority of bis games. That's why he was regarded as the best "iron man." - Joe did his most superb work when McGraw was erecting pennant poles at tbe Tolo grounds. This was over fire years ago. Too many "Iron man" entertain ments made him lose his -National league effectiveness. : Now he Is man aging the Newark club of tbe Eastern league and pitching once or twice a week. :. .:' ; The "Iron men" of the newer base ball era are no longer "Iron men." Jack Che8bro,' leading pitcher of the American league in 1004. is farming today on a big homestead in New Eng land. Jack is done for so far as the use of bis big league arm Is consider ed. ' He Is not beset with anr financial worries, because be saved a great deal of what he made in the days of suc cess, but the fact that It was Jack's steady pitching that enforced bis re tirement Tfrom ' baseball cannot i- be gainsaid. I la 1004 Chesbro was the meat and bone of the New fork Yan kee pitching staff. ; He would bare pitched that club into a championship but for an ' unfortunate ' slip of his spltball at the psychological moment in the last' and deciding game of tbe season .! f:.' V;"' :. After the momentous campaign In 1904 Jack was pretty 'near ready for his baseball obituary, although be es sayed to pitch until 1008. hut year Uarkness, now. with the Cleveland Naps, gunned sixty-fire games for Portland in. the Pacific Coast league. As a member of Mc Gulre's Contingent he 'did not show any better than many minor pitchers who graduate and not nearly as good as some.

Thehonors of the day were divided between Barney Oldfleld, with his 00 horsepower Bena machine, and C. O. King, with his Maxwell : 30 norsepower stock car. . Oldfleld lowered his previous record of one mile to 51 5-6, which Is a new coast record for the circular track. With the exception of this performance, Oldfleld had to take Becond place In the list of racing honors, as the world's champion met defeat In both the five and fifteen mile handicap erents, and in both races King and bia Maxwell were the victors. In fact, King proved the surprise of the meet, driving all of his races with much Judgment and taking the turns with his car as close to the fence as did Oldfleld. In the five mile handicap, Oldfleld' drove his Knox racer to the utmoBt, but the handicap was too strong and he could not get the lead away from King. Not only in the handicap events did King and his Max well prorS stars of the first order, $ut in one of the first erents of the day, the fire mile race for cars costing from $1200 to $1600, which was one of the bestmatches of the meet The time for the fire mile handicap was as follows: ' Maxwell, King, 4.40.30; Oakland, Nelson, 4.48.25; Chalmers, West, 4.49.30; Auto Car , finished fourth, and the Knox car, Barney Oldfleld drlrlng, fifth. ; In the erent number eight, ten miles free-for-all handicap, King and his Maxwell again were the winners, the Maxwell's tim hin . 9 8.19.30. .
