THE FARMER: JULY 5, 1913 Extra Sporting Page PORTOGRAPHY Eddie Campi, the clever and rugged little California boxer -whose admirers believe he is destined to become ban -anwig:ht champion of the world. ased his twentieth milestone yester da-. Eddie's real name Is De Campus and he is the offspring: of a French father and an Irish mother, while, by reason of having been born in San Francisco on the Fourth of July, he la 'a thorough American. In his re cent important battles. Eddie has demonstrated that he is "there" with the best of the bantams. He won the decision over Frankie Burns, of Jer sey City, in a twenty round bout at Vernon, and before that lost a twenty round decision to Kid Williams of Baltimore only after one of the fast est and most . sensational battles be tween little fellows ever staged in Los Anrelesi Campi easily outpointed Baltimore's pride during the first ten rounds, and in the twelfth almost won by a knockout. Williams is one of . those chaps who never know when. they are licked, however, and he man aged to get the decision by a ehade The decision was far from popular, and Williams and Campi will have to scrap again before the Baltimore boy , can claim to be Eddie s master. Campi began fighting when he was oniy ni teen. He won all of his early bouts, and did not know the meaning of de feat until he was worsted by Jimmy Fox In 110. He fought four bouts with Fox the following year, two be Ins-draws and the others victories for Campi. Last year he defeated Jimmy Walsh In Sacramento, and then went rannine for the topUners, Coulon, Williams and Burns. George Emmett Mullin. the veteran Tiger pitcher- who was recently sold by Detroit to Washington, was born in Toledo. O- thirty-three years ago. When he was sold last May George was. In point of service, the oldest member of the Tiger duo. iie jomea the Detroits in 1902, and three years helTed to twirl the Tigers Into the American League championship. Mul lin was educated In Toledo, and began playing ball with the St. John's Aca demy nine In his native city. In 189 8 a$ 1899 he waa ,wlth Wabash, Ind., nd the following year was with South Jlend. It was while he was pitching ; for Fort Wayne that he attracted the ! attention of the big league scouts. He J r.gned with both Detroit and Brook- tya. but cast In his fortunes with De 1 troit and the American League. In 1904 he batted .304, but since then ' Ills stick work has slumped to around ; the .200 mark. i Congressman Thomas - Gallinger, lio is leading the fight on the "auda- eious baseball trust" that has reduced 1 baseball players to a state of peonage i and slavery horrid to benold, and who ias flung the banner of liberty from the ramparts of the republic's capital 'aid invited the oppressed and.down- trodden serfs of the diamond to as- (embla beneath its folds and, shout J lng the battlecry of freedom, march forth to assault the citadel where Is f entrenched the "baseball octopus, and i from which it reaches out its slimy 5 tentacles to throttle the liberties of J but. halt, this Is getting Involved. Any. ' way, Mr. Gallinger. assisted by Horace Fogei of Philadelphia, is going to ap ply the ax to the baseball trust right where it will do the most good. ' Just ' too watch him. Mr. Gallinger represents a Chicago ' district in the House 6f Representa ' tivee, but he Is a native of Concord, i N. EL, where he was born sixty-three ' years ago come Sunday. v. He is a j Democrat, a Catholic, and, when not i engaged in political and lawmaking ! activities, a dealer In hats. The lat . ter fact has led to a suspicion that he ? may be'talking through one of the articles he sells, but Mr. Gallinger de . Clares he la In deadly earnest in wag ' ing a war on the baseball octopus that is .throttling, etc:. The troubles of Ty Cobb,, the famous Detroit, swatter, started the movement for a congres sional inquiry in which Gallinger has been the leader. For some- time" the Illinois congressman has been in cor respondence with Horace Fogel, for mer owner of the Philadelphia club of the National League, and he has been assured that the ex-magnate has the goods", to convict his former as sociates of violation of the anti-trust law, peonage, and 'evings knows what. Representative Gallinger has been on the trail of the baseball "trust" for some time, and Introduced a resolu tion in Congress last year, but nothing came of it. He gives it as his opinion that the constitution and by-laws of the National and American league in ' themselves constitute a form of or- ranization in violation of the laws, j Contracts between club owners and players are so iramea, ne aeciares as to be void because the conditions of employment constitute something re sembling a form of peonage. Since starting the inquiry, it is said that Mr. i Gallinger has been deluged with let j ters from fans praising him for his stand. IN PTTGIXISTIC ANNALS. July 4. . " 1908 Battling Nelson and Joe Gans fought their second battle, at Colma, and the Durable Dane, who had lost the first bout to the "old mas ter" on a foul in the 42 nd round, was this time the victor, winning by a knockout in the 17th Inning. For the first 1 rounds the negro kept the Buttler at a- distance, and showed himself vastly the superior, but lie lacked the stamina to keep up the pace. A few months later they fought t gain, and Gans stayed 21 rounds be fore he was knocked out. 1908 Freddie Welsh, the English lightweight, and Packey McFarland fought 25-round draw at Los Angeles. 1910 Jack Johnson knocked out Jim Jeffries in 15 th round at Reno. July 5i . 199 Stanley "Ketchel and Billy Papke fought their fourth battle for the middleweight championship at Colma, The bout went the full 20 .rounds without either man scoring a knockdown, and the victory was awarded to Ketchel on points. Of the four bouts between the "Thunderbolt" and the "Assassin," each won one by a knockout, and each was once the vic tor by decision of the referee, 1857 Tom Sayers defeated the Tipton Slasher for the English heavy weight championship. 1909 Jack (Twin) Sullivan was defeated by , Frank Mantell - in 20 rounds at Sacramento. 1 REULBACH MAY GO TO CINCINNATI (Buffalo Enquirer) Cincinnati, July 5 Edward Borneo Reulbach, the famous wild man of the Cubs, regrets that he isn't going to be a Red. Charlie Murphy -won't let him because Charles only wants Ben ton or Suggs in trade. "Benton or Suggs for Reulbach, eaJd Charles W. Murphy. "We have decided not to make a direct sale of any player. True, we want pitchers. and we are willing to trade Reulbach- also two other men but we want an equivalent for them, and no money Give us Suggs and It would be a deal immediately. And Joe Tinker, putting his money back in his pocket, cried feebly, 'Help, help.'' ; "I would have been glad to get here,'' Reulbach said, "'for It eeems evident that I've been too long in one city If Tinker gets me,. I'll gladly take up even more than one man's share of the pitching just to enow that I'm a long" way from being through.-' It is the opinion of Johnny EVers that Reulbach is about done even if he won't say so, he thinks eo. Joe Tinker doesn't agree with him, but believes tall Edward etill has plenty of "good games in his system.. For several years Reulbach has been ter ribly wild in April and May, and (useless to the team till about June 1. After the warm weather starts, Ed has gone forward like a whirlwind. For three years in succession he led the National league pitchers, and his record of games won and lost eln.ee he Joined the . big show is one of the greatest ever compiled. He won ten games and lost six last season a per centage of .625 but Was able to decide only sixteen games out. of thirty-nine attempts, no lees than twenty-three Of his battles being short and exciting. This summer Ed has been unusually slow in getting back to form. - DETROIT ANXIOUS TO TRADE FOR LAJOIE Detroit, July 5 Napoleon Lajoie may become a Tiger If President Somei of the Cleveland club is 'willing to trade him. President Navin will have a talk with the Cleveland magnate over the long distance telephone and will learn exactly what the chances are of the big Frenchman's being let loose. Mr. Navin is inclined to believe that Mr. Somem will patch up the fuss between Lajoie and Birmingham and that Lar ry will continue to lay with the Naps indefenitely, but at the same time he wants to be sure not to overlook a bet In case the trouble is so serious- as to admit of no adjustment. The Detroit club would be willing to pay a large sum of cash for Lajoie in addition to assuming the big contract to which he recently was signed for a three year term, but It is almost a certainty that Mr. Somen will Insist on getting players in exchange for his veteran star. The trade then resolves itself into a question of what Detroit has to of fer, assuming, of course, that Lajoie really is on the market. The Naps probably would be glad to get Sam Crawford, but neither President Na vin nor Manager Jennings woujd be willing to swap the Wahoo slugger for the second baseman. Sam hits lust about as well- as Larry and is considerably faster than -the French man has ahown himself to be lately. It would toe simply a case of "rob bing Peter to pay Paul" to make such an exchange. - , Of course, Ty Cobb is out of the question as trading material. Mr. Na vin . wouldn't swap him for any ball flayer living or dead. Under these conditions it probably would be nec essary for the Tigers to part with several less talented men and if there Is a combination possible that would strike Mr. Somere fancy; there may be action. v Lajoie would be a big drawing card here and. would: help the Tigers'' attack mightily. A hard-hitting inflelder would do wonders for this club, pro viding it was not necessary to weaken it somewhere else in order to secure him. Larry certainly can 'hit, but while his batting eye seems to be al most as strong as ever, his fielding has fallen off and on the bases he is a postlve clog. In the recent series played here, It was pitiful to see how he had slowed up. - The Tigers already are carrying- about as many heavy footed players as they can ' afford, but Lajoie' s hits would help to get some of the men around who have a habit of getting on. .Batting behind Bush, Crawford and Cobb, the Frenchman would be useful even if" he 'turned around and walked to the bench after swatting safely. This must be the publisher's bonnet. I suppose I'll get bounced off the Editorial Page for doing this. BED BUGS are coming to lire again as soon as the warm weather la here.

Falling Off In " Immigration Due to Prosperous Times in England May Tunnel the English Channel. London. July 6. The spread of gam bling among the nglieh people, both men and women, is causing . serious and growing concern. No measures yet have. been, devised to stop the hab it, which rapidly is becoming more and more of a menace. On all big races practically everybody, from the news boy on the street . to the peer in his motor, has something on his favorite horse, and even on thee very day race an immense amount in the, aggregate is wagered. Latterly-it has been dis closed that women working la offices and restaurants In the city have be come as inveterate-. gamblers as the men and boys. Nowadays both men and women, during the afternoon hours, are distracted from their work by their anxiety over the results of the races, and employers complain in vain. The House of Commons, with a view of 'curbing this increase in the -betting habit,' passed a law prohibiting com mission agents from accepting money on a bet, but this was easily evaded by the agents carrying wagers on a credit system, settling once a .week. As the system works today any boy with a shilling to bet on a horse can go to almost any newspaper seller and get bis money down. Another measure to overcome this condition was met by opposition from the workingman, who claimed for himself the same privileges- and opportunities accorded his wealthy neighbor, who can wager as freely as he likes by -either going to the .track or telephoning his commis sion agent. The complaint is made also that gambling is spoiling golf. At moBt of the big clubs today members will not play unless aesaured of a good side bet on the result. It started with half a dollar' a round, but at some clubs a game is seldom played for less than $25, $60 or even $100 a round. The profesional, too, who gets his fee for taking a novice around, now wants a wager en the result, even If he gives the novice all he deserves, the profes sional generally can win. The prcTposal to drive a tunnel under the English Channel between England and France, which for years was op posed by military men on the ground that it would destroy the isolation of England, is now being taken up seri ously with a better chance of going through than ever before. The advance In flying made In re cent years has already virtually taken away the advantage of isolation, bu even more than this the good relations now existing between England and France have overcome the opposition to the scheme. The government Js be ing urged to take the matter up seri ously; people who cross the channel frequently favor the plan, and the rail. ways, who have to keep costly steamers for the channel serv?e, are not opposed to the tunnel - idea, for they know that .with the abolition of the much dreaded channel crossing by sea", pasesnger traffic would increase immensely. ' The president of the Austrian Cham ber of Deputies has decided to make a trial of an electric voting machine for use in the House. Each member will have two electric buttons on his desk, one marked "Pro" and the other "Contra." On the wall opposite the president's chair an indicator is fixed, consisting of 518 glass tablets, numbered 1 to 516. These tablets are normally dark, but when a vote Is taken each snows either a white light, for "Pro," ' or a red light for "Contra." Each member has a number coresponding to one on the board, and - can therefor personally check the accuracy of his vote. An automatic apparatus counts the vote. and the totals are sho-wn on another indicator. If names ai a" required, they are shown on the glass tablets in either white or red letters. In. case of a se cret vote, the glass tablet Indicator ! switched off, and only the counting apparatus remains active. The recent attack on Prime Minister Asquith in House of Commons, when a young man associated with the suf fragettes threw a bag of flour at him, has again drawn attention to the awk ward situation of -the House in dealing with such interruptions. The House of Commons can sum mon to the bar an examine and cross examine those who offend against Its rules, but any proceeding of this kind must have the formalities of a trial and would involve the ' right to deliver to the House a speech in de fence. In the view of the government, a defensive address thus delivered would be too big an advertisement for the cause, so any action along this line has been avoided. Of course, Mr. Asquith could take, out a summons for assault, but as he would then have to appear as a witness in a police court and would be subject to cross-examination, there is no possibility of his taking this step. The outcome, espe cially if there appears any danger of a repetition of the disorder, is likely to be the closing of the stranger's gal lery, as was done last year. The Government, some years ago, 1105 Main St. M illinery gave the House an opportunity of In creasing Its powers to deal with such offenders, but probably for fear that it might interfere with demonstrations by members themselves, the proposal waa voted down. There has been a remarkable falling off in emigration' from Great Britain to the Australian colonies during the present year, aocording to the steam ship companies concerned in this traf fic. It is put down to the present high level of "wages and the continued trade boom which give men employment in England, Despite this, however. Can ada continues to. get a very large number of emigrants from England and Scotland, so there are probably other causes for the decrease in the Australian figur.es. This loss in traffic has been felt rather .seriously by the steamship lines running to the South Seas. Last year was a tremendous demand for pasages to Australia and New Zea land, and to meet this trade the steamship companies increased the ac commodations on each vessel and also put on new steamers. Today the ships are running very light!, even an re duced schedules. 4! KILLED IN THIS COUNTRY ON THE FOURTH New Tork, July - 5. While the movement for safety and sanity in the celebration of the Fourth of July worked wonders In the reduction of the number of victims of gunpowder, despatches from a score of different points throughout the country aa noted here account for 41 persons killed in a variety of accidents. incident to the outpouring of the holiday crowds. Twenty-eight persons were drown ed, five persons were killed ' lrf auto mobile accidents,' five In a single train accident and two 'killed in aeronautic sports. - This count, being made from the comparatively few reports of minor tragedies filtering through the crush of holiday news, outnumbers more than twice the powder accidents of the day. . ' . The list of drowning accident is probably far from the correct total. Such .tragedies are so frequent that unless two or more are drowned at a time drowning accidents are not re ported. In this city and vicinity alone there were .10 drownings, yesterday, and the New England district report ed five. There were six in the Ohio river at Louisville; three at La, Crosse, Wis.; three at Pittsburgh and one at Buffalo " . Incidental to the day there were al so five persons killed by lightning, one- variety of holiday tragedy that the safe and sane movement is un able to reach. WHAT THE WILD WAYES SAY ALONG THE M1LF0RD SHORE The Silver" Sands residents certainly observed' the Fourth of July yester day, the program of the day's sport being one of the most comprehensive ones ever attempted at this beach. In the morning the Blllikens and the Tfceta Beta Nu clubs met on the sand bar for a baseball game and when the tide came in, in the afternoon, there were aquatic sports of all kinds in eluding canoe tilting contests, swim ming races, motor, sail boat and 1 ca noe races, and water basketball. - one of the finest displays of fireworks seen along the beach rounded off - the day's entertainment. ACCUSED OF STABBING SAYS HE'S INNOCENT -John Balent. 35 years old, 2S9 Han cock . avenue, held by the police as a material witness to the stabbing which resulted in Peter Bodnar. going to St. Vincent's hospital with several deep wounds in his back, waa not admitted to bail today. A charge of inflicting the wounds may later be placed against him, as he has been identified by the Injured man as one of those who previously threatened him vjttUf a revolver. The arrested man denies all knowledge of the affair. LACKMAN'S CASE IS CONTINUED John Lackmln, who runs a hat ehopl in Fairfield avenue, was tried in the city court this morning for the theft of a golf-bag and sticks from the Stamford wreck. These had been prominently displayed in his windows and were alleged to be the property of a wealthy, resident of Dongan Hillt killed in the "Skylark." According to the testimony given by railroad and city detectives, it was not what Jack said about pos- Hessing the stolen property but what be refused to say that led him into his present difficulties. The case was continued until July 19 that Lackman may explain further to the officers the manner In which he secured the delics. Wants, To Rent, For Sale, &c, 1 cent a word in Farmei Want ' Column.

While standing on the express-tracks at the railroad station the pair were caught between a freight-train and the White Mountain express. . They had entered the fenced-off space in an attempt to cross the tracks and were overtaken before they could escape. Trepanning resorted to as a last means will probably save the life of Fanning while his companion also suf fering a fractured skull is not so seri ously hurt. Michael Roman, 67 Russell street, attempted suicide by firing a bullet close to his heart. He was tired of life and the inspiration to close his career came from the noise of cannon crackers without.

Arthur French, of Trumbull and Charles Feaher, 1 Holllster sjtreet, are at Bridgeport hospital suffering from wounds in the hands caused by the shooting of toy-plstole. - As the result of a post-picnic fight Peter Bodner, a resident of the west side, lies in St. Vincent's hospital with three stab-wounde in the fleshy part of the back. He will probably recov- er and refusee all information about his assailants to the police. The body of an unknown man lies in the Morgue at Main and Union streets - awaiting identification.
