Booze Enemy of Man.
By John L. Sullivan.
OSTON. April 23—I have ween
Jess Willard, the present heavy
weight champion of the world,
for the first time, and I must say that
I was greatly Impressed.
His great size struck me first. Then
the forward manner In which he
speaks. Later, In my interview with
him, I learned that he la a clean-
llvtng man, and that is what impressed
me moat of all.
Willard made himself the most
popular man in the world by winning
back -the championship £>r the white
race.
I made It plain to Willard that he
must leave booze alone. Booze is the
enemy of every man, woman and
child.
i advised Willard not to get a swell
ed head. A swelled head kills public
characters, but I don’t think that Wil
lard will be one of the victims.

There Are Never Enough
First-Class Cars in the Spring
They always run out, as you know. Last year, many
Hudson enthusiasts had to take second choice. Thou
sands waited weeks for delivery. This spring, despite
trebled output, there will be more delays. Choose your
car now, whatever class you are seeking. The leading
car has more orders than cars each spring.
Two things are certain: If you
buy a class car you will want a I.ight
Six, the latest and coining type. Your
first choice will be Hudson.
Hudson — the Ideal
Hudson stands out as the class car
in Light Sixes. Its supremacy ap
pears at a glance. It shows in beauty,
finish, luxury and refinement. It
shows in lightness 2870 pounds. It
shows in every part of the chassis.
Hudson is designed by Howard F..
Coffin, who created the Light Six
type. It marks his latest achieve
ment.
This Hudson model is a four-year
result. Two years were spent on it
before it appeared. Two years have
been spent in refining it.
Hudson is built by the leading
builder of class cars. Its prestige
gives it permanent value. A year
after buying the Hudson will lie
worth more than any other car in its
class.
12,000 Road Tests
But the greatest fact is that Hud
son is known to be free from mis
takes.
Over 12,000 Light Six Hudsons
are running. In twelve thousand
hands they have covered at least 30
million miles.
You know this car is staunch. You
know that it hides not a weakness or
error. Any owner around you will
tell you.
Remember, that the Light Six in
volves a new-type motor. Weight
saving has required changes 1 in every
part. New materials were necessary,
special steels, much aluminum.
It saves half on tire cost and fuel
over old time Sixes. But, like any
new type, it must prove itself fault
less.
Hudson has done that. In another
year other Light Sixes may have
given proof of their staunchness.
But today the Hudson is, by all odds,
the safest investment in this type.
Prove these facts now. while the
car can be promptly delivered.

HE WANTED HEAT.
. 'Twas slightly chilly in the flat
| And so the tenant grabbed his hat
! And hunted up the janitor
And started wild with Ijloody war.
“/ want some heat” the tenant cried
In tones that echoed far and wide.
AND YET—
The day was cold and raw and dark
And snow fell on the baseball park,
And as he watched the baseball game
The wild wind whistled through his
frame.
And yet he sat the livelong day
And never had a word to say.
A janitor is an accommodating
cuss. He always gives you plenty of
steam on a warm day.
We have always wondered why a
baseball fan should be allowed to
grow cold when the owner has al
ways so much hot air on tap.
FABLE.
Once upon a time there was a news
paper that did not print the only
original, authorized and authentic life
story of Jess W'llard.
We are tempted to print the life
story of Young Microbe, but we are
afraid that Microbe might swing on
our jaw.
John Evers is back in his old-time
form. He has sprained another ankle.
VOICE FROM CUBA.
Gone are the days when my heart
was young and gay.
Gone are the nights when I burned
the Great White Wap,
Gone are the days that never will
come back,
I hear a lot of coppers calling, %i Old
Black Jack.”
O. HANK.
We have always wondered why so
many squirrels search for food in
Piedmont Park when a ten-minute
ride will take them to the nearest
baseball yard.
“Brains.” says Percy Haughton.
“are needed on the football field.”
But they are needed more among the
persons who emit college yells.
“A boy,” continues Mr. Haughton,
"when he goes to football practice, is
getting ju6t as good mental training
as he does in the schoolroom, if not
better.” Why not eliminate the school
room?
Frank Baker is listening to the call
of the game, but he will not answer
until it sounds like the jingle of coin.
It is evident that Freddie Welsh is
afflicted with spring fever. He hasn’t
lost a decision all week.
IT’S ONLY AN ALIBI.
When men become so lazy that they
scarce can do a thing
They yawn and stretch and heave a
sigh and lay the blame on
spring,
But when I yawn and stretch and
sigh upon an April day
I can not lay the blame on spring—
I always feci that way.
PITCHER WINS $2,000 SUIT.
CHICAGO, April 23 -—Jack Pfiester,
former pitcher fo rthe Cube, has been
given a verdict of $2,000 by a jury in
Judge Honore’s court against the West
ern Union Teelgraph Company for fail
ure to deliver a telegram. The suit
was founded on alleged failure of the
company to deltver Pfiester a telegram
offering him a $300 a month job with
the Milwaukee baseball club
C HICAGO, April 23.—Negotiations
for peace between organized
baseball and the Federal
League, which were begun here yes
terday, were continued to-day. If
the plans of the magnates are suc
cessful, baseball is in for a revolu
tionary change. Instead of three ma
jor leagues, there will be two, with
the Federal League magnates buying
into the National League.
These facts came to light to-day,
after it was learned that Phil Ball,
chief owner of the St. Louis Feds, had
spent a long time in the private office
of Charles A. Comiskey, of the Chi
cago White Sox. Robert L. Hedgo*,
of the St. Louis Browns, also attend
ed the conference.
• * •
B ALL was one of a party of Comis-
key’s friends who were celebrat
ing the opening of the American
League season here. In the same
party were President Johnson, of the
American League, and Judge George
H. Williams, of St. Louis.
President Weeghman, of the Chi
cago Federals, not only attended the
opening day festivities at Comiskey
Park, but waS the host for a box par
ty of ten persons. One member of his
party vs as President Gilmore, of the
Federal League. Neither Weeghman
nor Gilmore was seen in Comiskey’s
office, however.
* • •
TOURING the conference in Comis-
key’s office there were long-dis
tance telephone conversations be
tween the offices of President Gilmore,
of the Federal League; President W.
Tv Robertson, of the Buffalo club, and
President George B. Ward, of the
Brooklyn club, both members of the
Federal League executive committee.
None of the magnates to-day w r ould
admit that peace negotiations were
progressing, although President Gil
more made a remark considered sig
nificant when he said: “You know
there should have been peace in base
ball a long time ago.”
WalshTriesArm and
After Good Workout,
Says He’s Come Back
L OS ANGELES, April 23.—Ed
Walsh, White Sox pitcher
who remained in Los Ange
es to have his arm treated by Dr.
Spencer, has regained two-thirds
of his former efficiency.
Walsh warmed up with "Nig”
Clarke, the Sea! catcher, the other
day. This was the first time Spen
cer would allow Walsh to -‘cut
loose.” Big Ed had tremendous
speed, and once or twice he tried
his famous "spitter,” knocking
Clarke's glove off his hand. Every
time Ed threw he let out a wild
whoop of joy. He pounced upon
the local ball players, and in gen
eral acted like a small boy out on a
vacation.
"I have ‘come back’ to stay,” said
Ed. “This is no boast; but the simple
truth. Dr. Spencer has performed
the impossible, and I could hardly
believe it myself until my workout
with Clarke this afternoon. I am
glad on account of myself, of
course, but the best paM of it qll is
that I w ; l| be able to repay Comis
key for a!l he has done for me. As
yet I have not reached my best con
dition, but inside a week I expect to
be in the best possible shape.” *
They Can’t Come Too
Big and Tough for
This Whitney Battler
They can’t come too tough and too
big for this Frankie Whitney boy.
Frank has two bouts pending for the
near future and in each casO the
“Fighting Carpenter” will be forced to
give away from ten to fifteen pounds.
Whitney is offered a bout with Jake
Abel in Chattanooga i ext month. The
match ip practically closed, but Frank
is holding out for one more ticket
than the promoters are willing to
give.
Frank is also matched to meet Han
lon at the Bijou Theater Thurs
day night. Eddie is a near middle
weight, still Frank is taking him .»n.
There may be better Lighters in the
game than Whitney, hut very few are
gamer and more willing than Atlan
ta’s favorite glovp-wielder. Whitney
says he will make 135 pounds for any
of the top-notch lightweights, but it
se»mg none of them care for his
game.

Lieutenant Governor Barratt O Hara,

In ‘answer to an attack on the game

Urn, yum, but won’t these McFarland
and Gibbons persons make a beautiful
cleaning on their proposed fight if it
goe.s over. Seven promoters connected
with the biggest clubs in the country
are already in the ^market for the fight
and one from Milwaukee takes the cake
by offering the pair ttfl per cent of the
house. ^
At that the 10*^ of the kind of a
