There\nIb trouble, however. Then men of this\nage time themselves too much, and\nI'hey are too cautious. I blame thut\nto the fact that the distance hus been\nCut down. When there were finish\nfights it was a case uC going jn to win\nthe best way possible. Nowadays they\ntime themselves, too much and* naturally lose punching jjower. Take men\nlike Attell and McFiirland, They ure\nthinking of winning the decision\nrather than of beating the other fellow decisively.\n\"In one way I blame the seconds.\nThey see a fighter winning away off\nby himself, and then holler t(, htm to\nbe -careful and take his time. That is\nthe, very place, In my Judgment, for\nhim to finish the other fellow off.\n\"Taking the various classes, it can't\nbe.said that the present heavyweight\ndivision compares with some or the\nold timers. However, Jack Johnson ia\nto be considered a modern-day fighter,\nand whon he was at his best I think he\nwould have compared favorably with\nFitzsimmohs, Corhett, Jeffries or any\nof the best of them*. I believe Gunboat Smith cap be made as good\n. fighter us FltzBimmong was. I consider\nthat he is every bit us good a hitter,\nbut he needs to be taught chiefly to\ntime hla blows and to do less swinging and use mtife short- straight\npunches.\n\"The mlddlewelghts seem to . have\nfallen off, but if you figure Keicbel\nyou must admit that-he would rank\nnicely with Jack Dempsey and a lot\nof the mlddlewelghts. The only mld*-\ndlewcight that I can feel certain would\nHave beaten Ketchel was Johnny Her-\nget (Young Mitchell.) Ketche] would\nnever have. shifted with Young\nMitchell und been successful. And for\nall that, Ketchel stood out as a wonderful man of his class.\n\"We have no welterweights now to\n\u25a0peak of, and certainly there Is no man\nWho would compare with Joe Wolcott;\nbut that Is probably because a lot of\nlegitimate welters are trying to force\nthemselves Into the lightweight division,\nj \"So far as the lightweights arc\nconcerned, I figure the class is every\n.bit aa good. Ritchie, with perhaps a\nfew more fights, will he every bit as\ngood'as Joe Gans, who seems to be a\nsort of standard by which to measure,\nTho San Francisco boy Is game to the\ncore, and he hits just as bard as the\nBaltimore champion. He Is cool and\ncollected In the ring, and he reminds\nmis' much of Herget, because both of\nthem 'have shown that they are slow\nto'start, but fast finishers.\n\"Abe Attell was Just on about a par\nwltH George Dljton, and' Johnny Kil-\nbane seems to be coming along*, Im*\n**provlng alt the time, so there is no\nreason why this age should feel\nashamed of the holders of the feather-\nweight title.\"\nGriffin'also argues that most of the\nfighters of the present do not take\nsufficient time in which to train. He\ncalls to mind that the olden fighters\nwould work from five to six. weeks,\nwhile the chap of today doesn't wnni\nto spend more than two weeks at the\noutside in getting ready for a big contest- At the samo time, Jim admits\n. that (here is less tendency on the pari\nof the modem boxers to dissipate, and\nthat paturally they need less of the\nstrenuous training.\nGriffin  himself,   a*   has  been   intimated, Is no spring chick along pugl-\n\u25a0\/ llstlb lines.    Twenty years ago, when\nj the California A. C. was the last word\n- ln boxing, Griffin was enlisted In the\nrank's pf the 130-pounders in the four-\n. round shows. He followed thut for\nyea> and a half, and later was a\nreferee well known to the frequenter\nof the Alpine, Columbia and Hayes\nValley Athletic cluba.\nFor a time he dropped out as an\n' active principal in boxing und' it was\n'not until August, 1912, that he was\ndrafted by Jim Coffroth to referee the\nsecond Attell-Murphy bout. In that\none session Griffin made a name for\nhimself.    When   he    disqualified    Ad\n.\"Wolgast and awarded the lightweight\nchampionship to Willie Ritchie, Jim\ndemonstrated thnt he Is game enough\nto use his own judgment, and he has\nbeen much In demand ever since that\n; time\/\n\"Rafereeing Isn't such a hard'Job*\ncommented the red-headed- arbitrator,\n\"but It requires a cool head. I never\ntry to keep any tab round for round.\nbut I do size the situation up in my\nheud generally. I never was av believer in allowing a boxer to stall and\ncome fast the last two or three rounds\nto gain a decision, Tho man who Is\naggrara-lve air the time'has the right\n\u25a0 ot way, although, of course, damaging\npunches are to ibe taken Into consideration,\n- \"The crowd and the shouting never\nworry me. Of course, I can't help but\n\u25a0hear the noise and the talk, but I\n\u25a0'don't allow It to blag my judgment.\nI usually figure that the fellow who\nia doing the loudes* talk log 1*. trying\ntu gave hla money,   Alio the short-\nS PORTING  NEWS\nender Is the more numerous and he Ib\ntrying to sway the referee. And that:\nsort of thing doesn't sway me worth;\na cent.\"    : j'.-\nJOHNSON LUCKY IN COMING\nALONG WHEN PURSES ARE BIG\nDame fortune Is not only a fickle\nand flirtatious old girl, but she isn't\nat all particular on whom, she smiles.\nWitness the, case of her outrageous\nsmirking at Jack Johnson, a vain, ignorant, immoral, negro, who was. 12\nyears ago a leyee roustabout at Galveston.\nFor all that he has done for the\nworld since, Johnson might well have\nremained one; yet fortune picked him\nout, and here he-is today on the highway to a second accumulation of\n'wealth.\nIt's small wonder that men seek fortune in tbo prize ring today, despite\nall the drawbacks connected with the\ngame. One glance at the case of John\nArthur Johnson, and they sidestep the\ncotton bales and the harvest fields\nand run for the training camp.\nJohnson's case is particularly \u2022alluring. In 1908 up to the month of December, Jack was just a \"busted\"\nfourth rate black fighter, with a strong\ninclination to whiskey and a large disinclination to train. 'He had a tremendous constitution and a gigantic\nframe; also he had a hunch that he\nwas master of all such \"cheese\" champions as Tommy Burns, who put one\nover on old Marvin Hart and grabbed\nthe championship.\nJohnson did whip Burns, as many\nanother- heavyweight then or now\ncould hnve done. He won but $5,000\non that fight, and a little money in\nside bets. He also picked up the\ntitle and that was the wedge that en*\naltled him to break into a game that\nhad heen closed to him by race barriers\u2014the money-making game.\nJohnson has not fought much since\nwinning the title, contenting himself\nwith theatrical engagements and \"sure\nthing\" Tights. 'But he hoe made\nworld of money. In six years Johnson\nhas taken. In over -$300,000 and his recent victory over Moran promises to\nnet him $100,000 more.\nHere is a rough estimate of Johnson's receipts from fights, beginning\nwith his title victory:   .\nOpponent.\nTommy Burns  $   5,000\nVictor M-cLachlen       5,000\nJack O'Brien      5,000\nTony Ross       5,000\nAl Kaufman        5,000\nStanley Ketchel      12,000\nJames J.. Jeffries -  120,000\nJim Flynn     30,000\nJim Johnson       5,000\nStage contracts, 5 years  100.000\nFrank Morah       35,000\nTotal   $327,000\nAll this within a space of five years.\nFrom a hand-to-mouth existence John*\nson has been shunted into a six-cylinder living gait, and no oil king has\nlavished money oh his needs nnd vices\nlike Johnson. He hns spent much of\nthe fortune that was left him by predatory legal talent, but is again on\nthe highway to wealth.\nBesides his winnings on the Moran\nfight Johnson on July 1 signed to\nfight Sam Langford for an assured\nBum of $30,000, win, lose or draw. The\nmoney fn gold is already on deposit.\nHis theatrical contracts, dependent on\nhis victory over Moran, but now made\ncertain, will net him as much more.\nIn addition there is every likelihood\nthat he will still be .champion after\nhis bout with Sam Langford, despite\nthe fact that his brother in color is\nsome scrapper and a dangerous one.\nShould he win or draw with Langford,\nJohnson will still have to confront\nGunboat Smith and Georges Carpentler, both white men and each worth\na $20,000 purse.\nFollowers of the fight world* have\nnursed the opinion that San Langford\nIb about the only boxer at present fit\nto give Johnson a real run for his\nmoney. But the chance Is still an outside one. For 'f Johnson has slipped\nhack, he is still good enough to put\nup 20 rounds of defensive milling without so much puffing. This much was\nproven at Paris.\nIt's a grave question if Sam Langford himself has not \"slipped\" quite\nas far as has Johnson. Sam has been\nsqueezing by the referee's notice with\nbut a scant margin, lit fact, (-uoboul\nSmith won a decision over Langford.\nSam has been entering the ring weighing about 210 pounds, when his normal figure Is 185, or not over 190.\nBecause of this, many have declared\n\"Tham\" a dead one. But it may he\nthat \"reports of his death,have heen\ngreatly exaggerated.\" Sam will train\nfor a real fight, revolting as work is\nto his nature. And when in* shape he's\nanother fighter entirely.\nBut even though he does hla little\nbest to come Into the ring in condition; Johnson's bulk, stamina and de\nfenslve skill are such that it is hard\nto believe Sam can whip bimv desperate fighter as the \"tar baby\" Is known\nto be.\nNORTHERN   LEAGUE\nSuperior 4, Winnipeg 4 (called in\ntenth to catch train); first game, Winona 3, Fargo 4; second game, Winona 2, Fargo 3; first game, Duluth\n3, Grand Forks 7; second game, Duluth 0, Grand Forks B; Fort William 1,\nVirginia 2. ,\nCANADIAN  LEAGUE\nPeterboro 5, London 6; Toronto 8,\nSt. Thomas 5; Hamilton 2, Ottawa 4.\nALBERTA WINS\n(By Dally News Leased Wire.)\nREGINA.

LANNIN   BECOMES\nBIG  MAN   IN  AMERICAN\nBuying a major bofieball club for\n$600,000 is not a myth. Joseph J. Lan-\nnln actually -mid thut amount of casli\nfor the Boston Red Sox, the money\nbeing about equally divided between\nGen. Charles H, Taylor ana his sun,\nJohn I. Taylor, who recently sold 50\npercent of the stock, and the McAleer-\nMcRoy Interests which were pur-\nhased last December. Lannin In less\nthan eight months, because of this investment, hns become one of the most\npopular men in Boston and also a\npowerful magnate In the affairs of the\nAmerican league and organized baseball.\nProm the position of bellboy In the\nfamuus Parker house in the Hub more\nthan 30 years ago, Lannin lias been\nwonderfully sikv-'ssI'iiI as a builder of\nmany hotels and apartment houses\nand as a developer of reul estate.\nWhile he Is deeply Interested In business affairs which he conducts in\nBoston, ho Is Iho owner of the Garden\nCity hotel ln Nubbuu county, Long\nIsland. Having amassed a fortune,\nLannin, who huB follower baseball as\na fan ever since be was a schoolboy,\ndecided three years ago thnt he couM\nfind time to devote {>> *h-> ownership\nnf a major league \u2022'lub. He wanted\nrecreation and excitement and he\nknew that baseball would furnish both,\nLannin tlrs^ had his plans to get\ntho Boston Kationils, but John M.\nWard and James 13. Gaffney secured\nthat club before he ojuld put in a bid.\nHe bought some Of thc stock, however, and was elected ,i director, but\nthat proved to be too tame. When\n.lames R. McAleer fired* Jake Stahl\nfrom the management of the Red Sos\nIn the summer of 1913, therefore, Lannin realized that a change of ownership was Inevitable. So he quickly\nopened negotiations with President\nBan Johnson of the American league.,\nwho readily accepted his proposition.\nMeets Speaker's Demands.\nAlthough he controlled only half the\nstock and hud been elected president\nof the Red Sox with the votes of the\nTaylors, Lannin found himself In a\ntrying predicament when Trls Speaker returned from the world's tour in\nMarch. Speaker had received a big\noffer from the Feds, but Lannin\npromptly showed his nerve and liberality by signing Speaker to a two\nyear contract calling for a total salary\nof J35.000.\nIt was the fearless policy that mado\nLannin a big man in the American\nleague, for had he allowed Speaker\nto get away from him the Red Sox\nwould have received a fatal knockout\nblow. It was with a feeling of general\nSatisfaction, therefore, that the Americun league men soon learned that\nLunnln wus ready to buy out the Taylors' Interests, and when the deal went\nthrough the new owner of the Red Sox\nmnde a  10  strike   in  Boston.\n\"I didn't buy the Red Sox with the\nidea of making big profits.\" said Lannin the other day, \"although some\npersons may not believe me. I love\nbnsebail and 1 believe thut after 30\nyears of hard labor aa n business man\nI am entitled to some amusement. If\nthe club breaks even this year or loses\nsome money I will feel satisfied, for\nI am trying to build up the team so\nthat Boston fans wilt soon be able to\nboast of another world's championship.\" 1\nCanada Seizes Wireless Station.\n(By Dally News Leased Wire.)\nCHATHAM, -N.

II\n\u2022Is the invention of Dr. Adolf Schwartz,\njan Austrian army surgeon now Bta-\njtioned at Gravosa, in Dalmatla, In\n-Austria. It Is based on the use of\nit'herlc oil of mustard which can be\nobtained in nearly every drug store\n- Tiie sufforer must be very careful\n||r): follow the instructions given by\nT>r. Schwartz In using the oil, otherwise It may cause serious Injury to\n'the eyes. The putt*>nt should close\nhis eyes nnd lips as firmly us possible and with his finger stop the nos-\ntrll on the opposite side' of the face\nfrom thnt affected by the toothache.\n,He then places a tiny bottle containing noo more Hum ftvy grams of the\nethirlc oil of mustard to thc open\nnostril and takes a deep breath, immediately ho will suffer a violent and\npainful Inflammation accompanied by\nan abundant flow of tears, reddening\nof the face and temporary stopping\nof the breath. This pain lasts at tlio\nmost onc or two minute-?. When it goes\naway the toothache disappears with it.\nThe inflammatory conditions subside\nvery quickly aad In tlie majority of\noases the toothache does not reappear\nwithin several hours, if at all. The\n.Teatment may then be recommenced\nand repeated as often as two or three\ntimes with cuccess,\nThe explanation of the success ol\nthis treatment is that the oil of mustard reaches the mam trunk of the\ntrigeminal nerve through the nose. The\nnerves of the teeth ure little offshoots\nfr-utn tills main nerve. The mustard\nset.-* up a t'omporary inflammation In\nthe main nerve and when the nerve\nreads against the mustard it drives\nout the inflammation from the little\nnerve ends in the teet'h,\nNELSON NEWS OF THE DAY\nMi Sullivan of Sllverton  is at thi\n.1.
