Big Fellow Should Do Mora Sparring
In Order to Bring Baok tho Quick

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

I hare been bo regularly of a layoff and

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.

"Lefty" Lelfleld will hare a fine op
portunity to earn his salary this year.

)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

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

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. . - .

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.

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

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

to tbe fifth generation that one oyster
of the first generation would have be

WALSH'S CASE IS CITED.
Chicago Amarlcan Star Having Trou
bio With Salary.ArYina Twirrors Are
. 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;"' :.

" Thrills followed thrills as speeding automobiles shot around the
course of the Ingleslde Race Course.'on April 24th, in the second and
final day events of the successful meet promoted by the members of
Islam Temple of the Mystic Shrine. .
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
