Pugilistic revivals still seem to be the order of the day, says Jeff Thomp son. For the first time In. 12 years "Jack" McAullffe, former lightweight champion of the world has decided to Inludge In public boxing exhibitions. Hs Is on the road with a sparring partner and got an ovation in Boston the other day. Jack was lightweight chamluon when kwas a youngster and I have been old euough to eat hay for several years. The Joe Choynskl who was something of a fighter when John L. Sullivan was in his prime declares that he means wnai ne says wnen ne promises to get back Into the fighting game. Joe has been boxing steadily ever since his last ring battle. He has always taken good care of his health and condition. Choynskl began fighting early. His first recorded scrap was with Jim Cor bett in San Francisco 24 years ago. Corbett 'just nosed Choynskl out during the first year or two of his career. But for Corbett, Joe might have become a champion. He fought ail over the with knockouts over famous fighters of all lands. He was clever as a lignt welght and always carried a remarkable punch. In the . same line Is the effort of Young Corbett to regain his lost laurels In his flaiit with Phil Broock In New Orleans. Corbett la not an old-timer like McAullffe and Choynskl. As a mat ter of fact, he Is young and ought to be at his best now. But he threw his vi tality away In his prosperous days. Now and then he takes another dive Into the game, but with Indifferent suc cess, in iaci, ne usuaiiy gets xnocKea out. He has been away for a month or two this time. He went away with out any bell ringing or corner speeches. He. means business, whatever Ji may be able to accomplish. Young Corbett has a harder row to hoe than most of the other old-timers. He has fat to contend with rolls and rolls of rat. He took the fat off or most of It With the old vitality he might be able to make another fortune. Small chance!

One feature of the proposed general Increase of railway freight rates on January 1 is that Seat tle and probably Tacoma and Portland will enjoy an advantage over a list of 800 or more other points In Washington ana tregon. ' The Interstate Commerce commis sion has received many telegraphic protests from shippers and commer cial organisations against the project for. Increasing the freight rates sched uled to become effective at the begin ning of the new year. The increase notices, which hsve heen filed with the commission ranging from 8 to 18 per cent, are coneurred In by practically every railroad in the United States and apply between Atlantic sea board and Pacific coast and Intermediate points. ''While the Pacific coast Is aflame with Indignation about these Increases," said Commissioner Franklin K. Lane, "and from Puget sound to southern Cal ifornia we are deluged with telegraphic protests on the theory that we have the right to prohibit them, and that such increases could not be made except with our consent, we have been com pelled to -tell -them that the railroads had the right to Initiate these rates and they were subject to attack only for unreasonableness, by formal oom plalnt to the coirftnlsston, and that the only relief we could give them was as speedy a hearing as possible of the com plaints when made.
