KILBANE GOING
OUT OF HIS GLASS
Featherweight Champ Will Emu
late Altell and McGovern.
TO FIGHT LIGHTWEIGHTS.
"Knockout" Brown, Owen Moran, Leach
Cross and Tommy Murphy' Said to
Be the Object of Johnny's Attack.
i Will He Equal Predecessor's Record?
i
If Johnny KUbane, the new feather
weight champion, adheres to his ap
parent intention of going against K. O.
Brown, Owen Moran, Leach Cross or
some other of the lightweights now
providing activity, he will be emu
latlng the example of more than one
f his predecessors on the 122 pound
throne. Abe Attell and Terry McGov
ern form the most notable examples of
featherweights going out of their class
to meet lightweights.
In the case of Terrible Terry, the
pride of Brooklyn first began as a
bantam, then grew into a feather
weight and won all his bouts with
ridiculous ease. It was as a feather
that he tumbled Peddler Palmer, the
English champion, and annexed his
first world's title. Then he set out for
the lightweights and disposed of every
man with a reasonable claim to that
title in his time. As fate would have
it, he finally succumbed to a man in
his own rightful class, featherweight.
Young Corbett turning the trick.
Attell's experience was similar in
more ways than one. Abe also finally
fell before a featherweight after reign
ing over the division for twelve years
and also defeating many crack light
weights. His most memorable set-to
with a lightweight was his four round
bout with Bat Nelson when the latter
was champion. Abe realized the lau
rels to be gained by knocking out the
champion in the class above his own
and strlved to put Nelson down for
the count As it was, he easily out
pointed Nelson in the brief four
rounds, but the law in Philadelphia,
where they fought, forbade decisions,
so he did not capture the lightweight
title.
Fight fans are wondering whether
Kilbane will have the same success
against lightweights that McGovern
and Attell enjoyed, if indeed he does
allow himself to get matched up withi
any. .
ALTIZER IS SILENCED.
Cantillon Tells Shortstop He Is Sold
to Cleveland For $200.
The presence of Fred Falkenberg in
Minneapolis with the Toledo Mud Hens
calls to John Ritchie's mind the famous
sale of that player and Dave Altizer
by Joe Cantillon while the latter was in
Washington. Joe sold the tall, slim
pitcher and the bed slat shortstop to
Cleveland for $10,000.
The sale attracted considerable at
tention at the time in the newspa
pers, and Daredevil David was greatly
pleased over the fact that his services
had been valued at at least $5,000. Ac
cording to Ritchie, he started a line of
talk like that on the bench one day
Just before leaving the Washington
club, and Pongo could not resist the
temptation.
"You've assembled a bum bunch on
that sale, Dave," remarked his mana
gerial highness. "I got $9,800 for Fal
kenberg and threw you in at $200."
And they declare that David refused
to speak to Joe for more than a year
and that every time he came near Joe
he attempted to step on his feet with
his spiked shoes.
KID GLEASON STARTED IT.
Peppery Oriole Was First Player to
Beat Up Abusive Fan.
The first ball player to be disciplined
for assaulting a grand stand tormentor
was Kid Gleason, now coach of the
Chicago Americans. When playing with
the Baltimores he was subjected to vile
abuse by a man in the Philadelphia
National League park. Gleason stood
It until his relatives came In for gross
Insults. Then he climbed among the
fans and beat his traducer unmerci
fully. Although Gleason was excused by
the club officials, he was suspended by
the president of the league, but the
Orioles did not go on strike. The case
at that time excited no end of com
ment, magnates, players and fans tak
ing sides in the bitter controversy. Ty
Cobb Is not the only one.

Hogan improving.
The most improved player on the
Browns is Hogan. His fielding in
Philadelphia and Cleveland drew much
praise from the home scribes, and Bill
also is hitting with the best of then.
He is faster than many believe him.
Injuries to Athletes.
A study of 604 athletes of the Naval
academy and training school showed
that 198 had officially recorded injuries
believed to have been brought on by
athletics. One-third of the 198 had
troubles of the heart
Daubert Playing Great Game.
The one member - of the Brooklyn
team who Is playing In real champion
ship form is Jake Daubert. The
premier first sacker plugs along in the
same manner at all times, and, no mat
ter how poor the remainder of the
team Is playing, Jake is always bound
to shine. -
JOE CASEY'S "FUNNIEST"
EXPERIENCE.
Joe Casey, the former Detroit
catcher, says he had his "fun
niest" experience when a mem
ber of the Little Rock team in
the southern league.
Joe was catching and the Little
Rock team was a run or two
ahead, and in the eighth inning
of the game, with New Orleans
having two men on the bases,
Frank Huelsman hit a liner di
rectly at Bill Hart the Little
Rock pitcher.
"The ball hit Hart on the leg
and bounced off directly into the
first baseman's mitt" says Joe.
"The game was saved, but
there has been a continuous
argument in the Southern league
since then as to whether the
pitcher was entitled to an assist
The ball did not touch the
ground. And even now you can
get up an argument with a South
ern league veteran if you men

Children's Play Clothes.
Dutch play clothes are the privilege
of smart children, but the pretty gar
ments which are shown in a number of
the big shops can be reproduced at
home for half of the store cost that
is, as far as the imported article Is con
cerned, for there are some domestic im
itations which are quite cheap. The
novelties include frocks, aprons, bon
nets and coarse stockings, with which
are worn the usual leather sandals.
Everything is very Dutch in effect, sub
stantial and amusing, and the sizes of
the various articles are two to six
years of age.
Little frocks of striped drill, tan
linen or white, drill trimmed with a
border showing designs of Dutch chil
dren can be had as low as 65 cents.
If the dress is banded with embroid
ery it will cost from $1.25 to $1.95. In
style the frocks are much like the
square necked aprons or else they are
in the. form of high, long sleeved
smocks, with front pockets made of
trimming. The aprons are square or
round necked, with the armhole cut
very deep and the gay bordering used
only about the neck, armholes and
pockets or else all around. The same
drills, linens and crashes are used for
them as for the frocks, but of course
they are only used to protect the usual
nice little gown, as over a Dutch dress
they would be superfluous. A number
of the bonnets, which are short at
the back and show turnback front
flaps, are of the same textures as the
frocks and aprons. Others are of
coarse white linen.
These frocks and aprons can be
made of ordinary denim, prettily work
ed at the edges with a herringbone in
colored thread, or dish towel linen
could be used, this ornamented with
a banding of the Dutch figured calico.
whose bright colors would be very
effective against the brown of the gar
ment Again a brilliantly colored cali
co, with figures or without might form
the banding, for all that is needed are
gayety of color and durability. Home
knitted stockings would fill the place
of the coarse bose offered for play,
although the ribbed stockings young
boys generally wear are quite good
enough.
The Untrained Mother,
Probably the idea 'of training chil
dren aright started with Moses. Solo
mon prodded it along a little
But no one seems to have given any
admonitions about training the par
ents. No doubt all the rules for bringing
up children were laid down by the"
parents themselves, so, of course, they
complacently think they are quite ca
pable of rearing children properly. But
many parents need training quite as
much as the children. And many a
young boy or girl whose life is wreck
ed is primarily not to blame for it
The real cause lies not with his or her
willfulness or deception, but with the
parents, who lacked the training that
fitted them to guide the lives of others.
'Has Helen drunk her hot water this
morning?" asks Helen's father. Helen
hesitates and gives a shrewd glance at
her mother. And the mother, because
she knows Helen dislikes the hot wa
ter and that the practice is only a fad
with the father.' says, "Yes." In later
years Helen's mother tearfully won
ders how Helen can deceive her so.
"I'll admit 1 have spoiled her," says
Helen's mother, explaining to a trained
nurse Helen's willfulness. And, hav
ing said this, the mother complacently
thinks it is all sufficient But this ex
planation will not remove from the
daughter's path all the trials and hard
ships and suffering that "spoiling" will
entail. Even then she was suffering
as the result of it And if Helen ever
does remedy It herself in later life it
will only be through years of earnest
effort and much sorrow.
Interest the Boy.
Give him a plot of his own in the
garden, or, lacking space here, perhaps
there is an available space just over
the back fence or in a vacant lot close
by your home where the small lad can
dig away to his heart's content, plant
some vegetable seed and reap the profits
from his efforts in due season.
The idea does not make an Instant
appeal to the small boy at first but
persuade him to stick at it for a few
days or a week, and it will soon bold
attractions that will get him out early
In the morning to do his digging.
Lettuce, parsley, radishes, string
beans, scullions, bush lima beans,
beets, corn and tomatoes may all be
raised with little skill, and if he is suc
cessful with his little garden patch he
will find a ready market for the prod'
uce among the neighbors after giving
mother the equivalent to the cost of
the seeds, plants and implements.
Snch an occupation is not only a
nource of health, but It encourages the

"Why don't you marry, John? It
seems to me that a man twenty-eight
years old, with a good bnsiness and
money to burn, should be following
be natural law."
Marry! What do you take me for?
Do you know what matrimony
means?"
The two friends, John Marston and
Edward Taylor, had walked home to
gether from business and had stopped
in at Taylor's home. The brief dia
logue took place while they were
standing before the sideboard, where
they were partaking of a little re
freshment After Marston's last as
sertion he went on to his room to
dress for the evening. On a table lay
a letter bearing the address of Yir
glnla Marston. It had evidently pass
ed through the hands of a number of
carriers, each one of whom recom
mended a new "try."
Marston had no sisters, aunts or
cousins who were named Virginia, and
there was no reason why he should
not send the letter on for another
try." He threw It back on the table.
put on his evening clothes and was go
ing out to his club to dine when he
noticed the letter and, taking it up,
looked at it again. If It were handed
back to the carrier it would eventually
find Its way to the dead letter office to
be opened by a clerk. If It were for
any relative of his, why wouldn't It be
better that its contents should be ex
posed to Marston than to a stranger?
In any event he could write on It
"Opened by mistake by John D. Mars
ton." He felt of it and there was
something stiff like pasteboard In It
Taking out his penknife, he slit the en
velope and withdrew a letter and a
photograph.
The likeness was that of a very
pleasant looking old lady tastefully
dressed and with a couple of puffs of

grizzly gray hair on each temple.
Marston felt at liberty to gaze on it
but not to read the letter, so from the
picture he turned to the subscription.
The letter was signed "Your grateful
friend, Sarah Sherwood."
Marston was satisfied to have open
ed the letter. There was something so
pleasing in the lady's face that he felt
assured she would not blame him for
doing so. Virginia had evidently been
kind to her. He wondered what Vir
ginia looked like. In fact, he wonder
ed whether she was young and fair or
a skinny old maid. He would have
liked to know what the old lady had
to feel grateful for. But none of
these things could be known because
to read a private letter was not to be
thought of.
He replaced the missive and the pho
tograph in the envelope and, after or
dering his dinner at his club, sat down
at a table in the writing room and
wrote a brief note to Sarah Sherwood
stating that he had taken the liberty
of making a dead letter office of him
self that her letter might the sooner
reach Its destination. This was all
that was required In the premises, and
had he stopped here there would have
been no story. But he was Impelled to
say that he could not have helped see
ing the photograph which he presumed
to be a likeness of the sender of the
letter. If so, judging by the character
as expressed In the features, he had no
fear of being blamed for the course he
had taken with regard to its return.

a man to a fltaman Including a. compli
ment Is not likely to pass unnoticed.
In the third place, a brief note of
thanks from the recipientrof a favor
to the person who has conferred It Is
always in order. The lady, who signed
herself Mrs. Sherwood, expressed warm
appreciation of Mr. Marston's net
whleh she referred to as kindness.
But this was not a-tl. Wit bin a tew
days be received a brief note from Miss
Virginia Martin (not Marston) thank
ing him for the return of the letter to
the sender. As Mr. Marston had step
ped out of his way to commend Mrs.
Sherwood's features, so did Miss Mar
tin express pleasure at Mr. Marston's
appreciation of the "dearest old lady In
the world."
Here were two paths leading to an
acquaintance with an elderly lady of
pleasing appearance and a young lady
upon whom Mr. Marston's imagination
had already begun to play like beat
lightning in a summer night. That she
was young was apparent In her note;
as to her appearance well, she might
be as homely as a lighted pumpkin
face, but such a supposition did not
accord with the fancy excited in Mr.
Marston's brain.
Letters of thanks having been receive
ed from both the sender and the re
cipient of the letter, they being per
fect strangers to Marston, it would
seem that there was no occasion for
any further correspondence. But if
love cannot feed on fancy, fancy may
be called the germ of love. It is ques
tionable if love can be born without
being warmed by imagination, and once
born he usually becomes vigorous. He
will not only catch at a straw, but it
Is remarkable how he will pull himself
along by mijans of this slender assist
ance. Marston spent several days hunt
ing for some slight excuse for follow
ing the matter further. He finally de
cided that there was less risk of being
considered presuming in laying his net
through the older lady.
Be It understood that he was not
looking for a sweetheart or a wife.
Surely the latter was especially just
what he did not wish. The truth is he
didn't know what he wished. Per
haps It was the Instinct of the hunts
man that was influencing him. At
any rate, he finally took the risk of
breaking the conventional bonds that
separate strangers and wrote another
note to' Mrs. Sherwood. Stepping
clear over the line, he expressed a
curiosity to know why in her letter to
Miss Martin she had signed herself
"your grateful friend." He was
aware that this request was trespass
ing on ground forbidden to him, a
stranger. But this Interest had been
excited In him by seeing Mrs. Sher
wood's picture, which gave the im
pression that kindliness was to be ex
pected from her rather than that she
should receive kindness.
This letter of Marston's placed the
matter In the position of an . episode,
an adventure call it what you will
and its development depended upon
the future course of the woman con
cerned. Mrs. Sherwood wrote In a
responsive vein that she had received
so many acts of kindness from "Vir
ginia" that It would be impossible for
her to single put any one for especial
mention. Indeed, she gave Mr. Mars
ton the Impression that Miss Martin
was an angel.
To this Marston replied that young
ladles who could elicit such encomiums
from elderly persons were rare and
their acquaintance was desirable." He
regretted that he had no better claim
to make Miss Martin's acquaintance
than the return of a misdirected let
ter. He didn't under the circum
stances feel warranted" in asking per
mission to call upon Miss Martin, but
he would feel grateful to Mrs. Sher
wood If she would permit him to pay
his respects to her since he was de
sirous of meeting one of whom Miss
Martin had referred to as the "dearest
old lady In the world.". :
When Mr. Marston opened the reply
to this note he took out a photograph
of a girl whose expression was de
lightfully feminine. One would know
upon looking on her, features that any
nice old lady would speak kindly of
her. Mrs. Sherwood wrote that unbe
known to "Virginia" she had sent this
photograph that he might the better
determine whether it was worth his
while to make the young lady's ac
quaintance, requesting him to return
it she having perfect confidence from
his being a member of the W. club
and from the few words he had writ
ten her that she ran no risk whatever
In doing so.
Mr. Marston's condition was like
that of a grate fire in which kindling
wood, has been snapping. Now a bright
flame shot from the coal. He began
at once to make excuses for retaining
the picture, in a few days he wrote
expressing his thanks for the loan and
his admiration of the picture and ask
ed how long he might be permitted to
retain it. Mrs. Sherwood waited a
week before replying, then said that
she would leave the time of its return
to his own inclination. To this he re
plied that on the following Wednesday
evening he would do himself the honor
to pay his respects to Mrs. Sherwood
and would bring the photograph with
him.
The call was made, and the outer
wall of the citadel was taken. During
the visit he made an appointment,
through Mrs. Sherwood, to call on Miss
Martin and the following evening was
ushered into a drawing room dimly
lighted by rose and violet lamps and
saw for the first time, dressed in her
most becoming costume. Virginia.
Thus the citadel itself was captured,
r, rather, was the citadel captured or
was John Marston made a prisoner?
One afternoon a month after Mars
ton had stood before his friend's side
board he stood "there again.
"1 hear, John," said Taylor, "that
you are going to marry."
"I am about to enter Into paradise."
"I thought you considered marriage
more like the other place."
"It may be, but the door are jew
eled and the interior is concealed by a
profusion of flowers. The entering is
worth a century of matrimonial mis
ery." "It's a dream, isn't it?"

"The soil is extraordinarily fertile

"The inhabitants are very indus

cock-fighting, Monte dealing, theft and

"Their diet consists of boiled rice,
stewed rice, friend rice and rice.
"Their marriage ceremony is very
impressive, especially the clause
wherein the wife is given the privilege

Cavite, the next city of importance,
is noted for its natural facilities for

"The principal exports are rice and
