On the historic afternoon when Jack
Johnson fought Jim Jeffries In Nevada
for the world's championship there
was a baseball game at the old Pole
grounds. In the press stand, among
others, sat Sid Mercer, the sporting
writer, and Franklin P. Adams, the
column conductor. For some reason or
other, ringside bulletins were not be
ing received at the ball park. Natural
ly, the crowd wanted to know how the
light was going.
Several hundred spectators, drawn
by the fact that telegraph instruments
were clicking in the press stand,
packed themselves solidly behind the
wire netting in the hope of hearing
tidings from Heno over the wire. Mer
cer and Adams got a joint inspiration.
They pretended to b » taking a ringside
description olf one of the instruments.
First one would chant off a purely
imaginary account of a round, and
then the other would.
Now it so happened that Adams had
a bet down on the negro to win, and
accordingly favored the black con
tender, in his turn to “ read” a round,
he would depict Johnson as hammer
ing Jeffries into a pulp. But Mercer,
who was a partisan of Jeffries, would
each time retaliate with a spirited but,
of course, purely fictitious account of
how the white man, having rallied
heroically, was now dealing mighty
blows upon the head and body of the
tottering, weakening black.
Naturally, the listening crowd was
torn by conflicting emotions. Cheers
and groans marked the utterances of
the two gifted romancers. Eventually,
when the multitude had grown so in
numbers that the pressure of its bulk
threatened to break down the netting,
the conspirators decided It was time to
bring their Joke to a climax.
Mercer, cocking his head nbove an
Instrument as though the better to
hear, began reciting, somewhut after
this fashion:
“ Bound-seven!
At-the-sound-of-the-
bell-the-two-men-leap-to-the-center - of-

sciou8-form-into-his-comer! The-mad-
dened-throng-acclaims-the-wlnner- and-
pandemonlum-reigns-supreme!”
Here he paused and, with the air of
one who has completed a hard job,
made as though to sit down.
From a thousand throats behind him
one question arose In a mighty chorus:
“ Who wins?"
Dramatically Mercer raised his hand
for silence, and a deep hush befell.
“ The dispatches did not state,” be
said, simply, and sat down again.

In reply to the caller’s questions he

“ How many infant children have

‘T ’ve got three,” said the citizen.
"And that’s all there ever will be,
too, you take It from me.”
“ What makes you so positive about
that?" asked the visitor.

“Tablecloth” Spread by
Mist Over Mountain Top
Way back in 1908 Wayne county,
Mich., built the first stretch of Im-
proved road. Little realizing that In
a few years traffic would have in
creased many, many times, by virtue
of Detroit's becoming the center of
the automobile industry, the authori
ties built only a narrow strip at first.
Soon, however, this pioneer county
recognized the need of wider roads
to handle Increased traffic efficiently,
and began building all its new pave
ments wider. T o prevent congestion
on the earlier strips of road, it wid
ened the old pavements by adding new
strips at the side.
Now, as traffic in all parts of the
country Increases with the extension
of paved roads and the increase In
motor vehicles, other vicinities are
rapidly recognizing the need of build
Ing wider road pavements and widen
ing old ones which are no longer ade
quate to traffic demands. Those in
charge of road building have come to
realize that only by having wider
roads can they have highways safe for
modern heavy travel.
