BIG FELLOW IN FINE
SHAPE AND CONFIDENT
Former Champion Declares He Will
End Fight Quickly as Possible
JOSEPH MURPHY
Jim Jeffries, accompanied by his retinue of trainer?, wife, relatives and
a delegation of friends, will hie to Rowardennan this morning, in the Santa
Cruz mountains, and begin his last grind of real traiing for his battle with
Jack Johnson, whom he hopes to defeat and bring back the heavy weight
title to the white race. . ,
The bi»r fellow, accompanied by his wife and two nephews, rolled in
from Los Angeles yesterday morning on the Owl. He came into town
to complete final details for his training before he left for his camp at Santa
Onz. Jeff had some business affairs to fix up and he had a talk with his
manager. Sam Bcrger, and everything was put in readiness for the trip this
LOOKS IN GREAT SHAPE
Jeff looks in prime shape, and, from all appearances, he will go into the
hard grind of the training camp an athlete fit to go through the toughest
siege of training. There was not much difference in his looks from his
appearance at Recreation park som<
weeks ago. However, he declares thai
li*» is getting better daily and that ii
will need only that course of gym
nasium work to bring him back to his
old form when ho was Invincible.
•I will bring the title back to th«
white race."' said Jeff yesterday, "anc
I will do it quicker than my friend*
think I will. Oleason has declarer
himself in the east that he hopes thf
tight is short. 3s the pictures will draw
better. I will win as fast as possible
and if I <an «io it In a punch. I will lei
it pro."
The arrival of the big fellow was
not like arrivals of ring: gladiators ir
the past. Jeff and his party came ir
without the usual hurrah. He skipped
• iff the train at Sixteenth street. Oak
land, and then went to a hotel. Latej

At 5:2" o'clock this morning Jeff an«i
his party will take, the train at Third
;<nd Towiiprnd street an£ strnt for his
training camp at Rowardennan. Berger
Farmer Burns and many friends will
sf>urney to the training camp. Bob
"Armstrong, the big colored heavy
weight wrho will assist the boiler maker
•n hi? boxing work, is already on th«
ground ready for trouble. r
nil.l, START AT OXCB
Jeff will start to train immediately.
Willie th^ early work will not be of a
strenuous nature, it will be mapped
but so that he will tip getting into
Khape by slow stages, so that he will
be ready for the hard grind which will
probably start when Jim Corbett joins
the camp in the middle of May.
Borger will have full charge of the
training- work and while many sug
gested to J<?ff than an older head than
P.f-rger should superintend the training
work, the big fe.llow -would not heed
this advice, as he has gr<»at confidence
in Sam and he will lot him have com
plete charge.
The training quarters at RowarJen
r.an, while they ar<? not entirely com
pleted, are ready for Jeffries to enter.
Mountain climbing and outdoor exer
cises probably will make up most ol
the big fellow's work for a couple ol
weeks.
BURNS FOR HARD WOB X
Farmer Burns will be on hand to do
all the. rough work. He. in a noted
wrestler and h* will give Jeff the ex
ercise he needs at wrestling and tug
ging around. Armstrong will be ever
ready to don the gloves.
Jeffries will not be seen in this city
again until the day before the fight
when he -will com* up from Santa Cruz
and lay over here. He probably will
keep himself concealed an.l hip next
public appearance before a crowd ir
this vicinity will be when he steps into
the ring at Emeryville.
JOFFBOTH AFTER CARD
Jim Coffroth, the local promoter, left
for Los Angeles yesterday on business.
The promoter declares that he is going
snuth to get ideas for his new pavilion
\u25a0which he is to build at Twelfth and
Market streets. He wants to learn
something of the new motordome
•which is to be constructed In th«
south.
It is also believed that the promote:
is angling for the services of Sam
Ivangford and Jim Barry during the
middle of the month in the south. Cof-
Troth has the local permit here next
month and he has not signed a card up
to date. The colored fighter would
make a. great card here, as his prowess
as a slngman has been so hlghlj
boosted.

VALUATION BY NAME
IS MYSTERY OF ART
Discredited "Old Masters" Ta
booed Despite Beauty
People who know a lot about art
show — to those who only "know what
they like" — a. mysterious reverence for
names. A picture or statue Is offered
for sale as the work of this or that fa
mous man. It fetches a big price and
finds its way sooner or later into a
museum, where it is put in a place of
honor, and for a longer or shorter
period it receives the admiration of all.
.says the £Xew York Times. Suddenly,
somebody comes along and denies and
disproves what is called its "authen
ticity." At once, from being an ob
ject of worship by the elect and of
respect from common folk, it loses all
value and is hastily removed to a
cellar.
Why? Whatever of beauty the pic
ture or statue had before, the discovery
of the, mistake as to its origin it re
tains after that disclosure, and* there
would be much difficulty in proving—
to a phllistine— that whether one man
or another made it in. the slightest
degree affects its intrinsic value.
This is a great mystery— to those for
whom it is any mystery at all. Books,
now, are different. They stand on their
own merits. They are not liked the
better because written 'hy a noted au
thor, or the worse because anonymous.
That last statement, may not be quite
true, but ft is almost true — it is true
In the long run.

STRANGE PRACTICES DUE
TO IDEALS OF BEAUTY
Women Torture Children to
Keep Them in Fashion
In some parts of the Indies, says the
Boston IleraM. women paint their teeth
red. In Gurural the blackest teeth are
esteemed the most beautiful. In Green
land the women color "their faces with
blue and yellow. The Chinese must
have their feet as diminutive as those
of she j?oats, and to render them thus
thoir youth- is passed In torture. In
ancient Persia an aquiline nose was
often thouprht worthy of a crown, and
If there were any competition between
two princes the people generally went
by this criterion of majesty.
In some countries the mothers break
the noses of their children, and in
others press the head between two
boards that it may become square. The
Indian beauty is thickly smeared with
bear's fat. and the female Hottentot
receives from the hand of her lover, not
silks or wreaths of flowers, but the
warm entrails of animals newly slain
to dress herself with tfie enviable or
naments.
In China small eyes' are like<3, and
the pirls are continually plucking their
eyebrows that they may be small and
lonp.
The Turkish women dip a gold brush
in the tincture of a black drug, which
they pass over their eyebrows by day,
but it looks shininp'by night: they
tinge their nails with a rose color. An
ornament for the nose appears to us to
be perfectly unnecessary; the Peru
vians, however, think otherwise, and
they hang from it a heavy ring, the
thickness of which is regulated accord
ing to the rank of their husbands.
The custom of boring the noses, as
English women do their ears, is very
common in several nations; through
the perforation are hung various mate
rials, such as green crystal, gold,
6tones, a single and sometimes a great
number of gold rings; this is rather
troublesome to them in blowing their
noses.
The female headdress is carried In
some countries to singular extrava
gance. The Chinese carries on
her head the figure of a certain bird;
this is composed of. copper or of gold,'
according to the rank of the person;
the wings spread out and fall over the
front of the headdress and conceal the
temples; the tail, long and open, forms
a beautiful tuft of feathers; the beak
covers the top of. the nose; the neck is
fastened to the body of the artificial
animal by a spring, that it may the
more freely play and tremble at the
slightest motion.
ERROR SHOWN IN
FAHRENHEIT SCALE
Mathematics Necessary to Learn
Condition of Weather
The chief peculiarity of the.Fahren
heit thermometer is that when It
marks zero there are at that moment
just 32 degrees of frost in the air,
which Is a fair start for a cold day.
But when 50 degrees of frost are added,
by the drop of the mercury this much
below Fahrenheit's arbitrary zero
mark, as is frequently the case in va
rious parts of our country, what folks
are really getting is 82 degrees, of
frost.
As a matter of fact, the point where
things begin to freeze or to thaw is
the natural dividing line, and not
Fahrenheit's zero mark, which does
nof enter into consideration until
things have been frozen up to the ex
tent of 32 degrees, says the Boston
Globe. In other words, when one is
told how cold it is he should really, be
informed as to the. amount or all the
frost and not merely a part thereof,
just as when things begin to warm up
one would like to know just how warm
it is from the freezing point, and not,
as with the Fahrenheit thermometer,
be obliged to subtract 32 degrees of
nonexistent frost, in July, say, in order
to learn the truth.
It follows, therefore, that the truly
sensible thermometers are those known
as the centigrade and the Reau
mur. Both take the points at which
water freezes and water boils as points
fixed by nature. The space between
these two points is divided on the cen
tigrade, thermometer into 100 degrees
and on the Reaumur into 80 degrees,
but only for the reason -that so many
things in this world are divided by
tens and hundreds that most of us are
more or less accustomed to the deci
mal system.
Both the centigrade and the Reaumur
thermometers are honest and accurate
in marking zero just at that point'on
the tube where there is actually "noth
ing doing" as between heat and cold.

RECORD YEAR FOR
INJURIES AT POLO
Disastrous Season on Coast for
the Followers of the Popu

BURLJNGAME, April , 4.— Will the
perles of serious accidents of the past
polo season cause changes In the rules
which will place the icam* on the shelf
as a spectacular sport and put It in
the harmless class with marbles,
mumblypeg and Marathon walks?
This is the question upon which all
Burlingame is speculating, and mean
time. Miss Eleanora ' Sears, the pedes
trienne-poloist from Boston, gives
Dame Gossip a substantial morsel by
asserting that the present style of play
is\ suitabl* to her and to her athletic
inclinations.
Nevertheless, the past, polo season
has been disastrous, not only on the
local fields, but also in the south. Here
is a list of the mishaps:
Major CJ. IV. Hob Non, Emclinh team—
Eye neverelj- injured by mallet on El

THREE INSTANCES OF
WONDERFUL MEMORY
Freak Mentalities That Seem
Not to Forget Anything
Once Learned
Writers on psychology and philos
ophy have cited many examples of pro
digious memory,, says' a contributor to
the Inter Ocean. No doubt some 1 of
these are exaggerations, others are fab
ulous, and only a comparatively . few
admit of verification. An investigator
has found three cases so. well authen
ticated that they may be used to illus
trate the wonderful power of a well
cultivated memory in a mind of strong
native endowment. In each instance,
too, this remarkable retentiveness
seems in no way to have retarded the
fullest development of other ' mental
powers.
•Probably the most remarkable of the
three was the memory of Leonard Euler
Euler was a native of Basle, but most
of hi§*life was spent in St. Petersburg.
He was born in 1707 and died in 1783.
He was a teacher of great power'and
a most prolific writer. More than half
of the 46 quarto volumes of mathemat
ics published by the St. Petersburg
academy between 1727 and 1783 were
from his pen. At his death he left more
than 200 manuscript treaties.
In the later years of his life he was
totally blind. Then, and probably ear
lier, too, he carried to his memory a
table of the first six powers of the
"series of natural numbers up to 100."
It is related that on one occasion two
of hi 6 students attempted to calculate
a converging series.
As they . progressed they found dis
agreement in their results. These dif
fered by a. unit at the fifteenth figured
The question was referred to Euler,
who decided to mak« the calculation.
He did this mentally and his result was
found to be correct.
It was not only in mathematics that
Euler gave proof of a prodigious mem
ory. He was well read in general liter
ature . and was an excellent classical
scholar. „ Virgil was one of his favorite
writers.: It is said that he knew this
author so well that he could repeat the
"Aeneid" "from beginning to end with
out hesitation, and indicate the first and
last line of every page of the edition he
used."
The seventeenth century furnishes
the other two instances which warrant
careful attention. The first is that of
the Italian scholar. Antonio de Marco
Magliabechi. Magliabechi was the lit
erary prodigy of his time. Royalty and
other distinguished personages paid
tribute to his wonderful learning. His
contemporaries have said that his mem
ory was so prodigious that lio was able
to retain verbatim most of the contents
of his "multitudinous books."
A comparatively recent writer has de
clared, that Magliabechi coultl name all
the authors that had written upon any
subject, giving the name of the book,
the words, and often a page. This is
doubtless exaggeration, but. on the
other hand, it '< should be remembered
that the number of books on any sub
ject were- much fewer than at the pres
ent clay. Besides this, there; are two
stories that have come down from Mag
liabechl's time to ours that give color to
its truth. On one occasion a gentleman
of Florence desired to test MagliabechTs
memory and ascertain for himself
whether the wonderful stories told
\u25a0were truth or fiction. He gave him a
manuscript to read; then, some days
after its return, protending to have
lost it, he asked Magliabechi to recall
it, which, it is said, he did with re
markable exactness.' At another time
the grand tlukn of Florence asked if he
could procure a certain book for him.
Immediately came the response: "No.
sire: it is impossible; there is but one
in the world; that is in the grand
seignor's library' at Constantinople,
and Is the seventh book on the sev
enth shelf on the right hand es you
go in."- v%>
. The other instance in the seventeenth
century is that of the Rev. Dr. John
Wallis. It is not, however, as. a the
ologian that Wallis* name ds enrolled
in the temple of fame, but as a mathe
matician. In mathematical history he
ranks as the greatest of Newton's. Eng
lish-precursors. He was started on his
mathematical career by reading Ought
red's "Clavis Mathematical' but the
special bent of his genius came from
Torricelli's writings on "The Method of
Indivisibles." To this he applied the
Cartesian • analysis and produced his
great work. "The Arithmetica Infinl
torium"—"the most stimulating math
ematical work so far published in Eng
land.",! Here he makes the successful
attempt to solve a number of the more
simple problems of the calculus by the
summation of series to Infinity. The
work was one of great influence. New
ton read it while an undergraduate at
the university, and from it Immediately
derived his binomial formula. The
powers of concentration and of memory
are both very strong with Wallis. So
strong, it is said,, that on one occasion,
"whije in bed in the dark, he extracted
the/ square root of "a 1 number of 53
places to 27 terms and repeated the
result 20 days afterward."
\u25a0These examples of'retentive memory
are quite well, authenticated and give
plausibility to the possible- truth of
others frequently cited. Pliny tells us
that Cyrus the Great knew the names
of his soldiers, and Cicero In his , "De
Senectute". says that Themistocle* could
call by name the 200,000. citizens of
Athens. From Cicero, too,- we •' learn
something of the remarkable memory
Sophocles, who in old age, when ju
dicial proceedings had been instituted
to determine his mental competency,
j recited »to the judges, the "Octopus".' at
Colona to prove his mind was not fail
ing.
Plato, makes Hippias boast that -he
could repeat 500' words after hearing
them once, but this is nothing, com
pared with the claims of Seneca. In
his declamations in speaking of the for
mer*, tenacity of his he says
that he was able to repeat 2,000 names
in .the. order in which they had been
given to him. . •

Coffroth and Hester Make Ap*
plications. Despite Bullock's
Announcement
[Special Dispatch to The Call]
REDWOOD CITY. April 4.— Despite
the positive assertion of District At
torney Joseph J. Bullock at a 5 recent
meeting of the board of supervisors
that there would . b© no more prize
fighting, in San 'Mateo county while he
is in office, prize fight promoters from
San Francisco are pulling political
political strings again for the coveted
permission to hold ring contests at
Colma.
The petition of several citizens of San
Mateo. county, protesting against the
management of the fights conducted by
James W., Coffroth at Colma and asking
for the revocation of his license came
up for hearing at the meeting of the
county board today.
Harold O. Heiner, representing the
petitioners, declared that the protest
was not against "Sunshine Jim" per
sonally, but was directed at the gen
eral mismanagement of his fights. Most
of the trouble "had been caused by the
San Francisco police, who, although
out of, the territory over which they
had jurisdiction, were there to handle
the crowds. - \u25a0
Coffroth declared that the matter had
come up several times and asked that
it be disposed of. It was continued" two
weeks.
William L. McCarney, who is connect
ed with Sid Hester In the management
of the Mission athletic club, presented
a new petition from his club asking
for a permit to conduct fights in San
Mateo county. To Coffroth; who had
seen ' open water and clear sailing
ahead, the new application of the Mis
sion club was disconcerting, to" say the
least. •'
Action on the Mission club's applica
tion also went over, two weeks.

SEALS WILL PLAY
OAKS THIS WEEK
Series With the Transbay Bunch
Opens This Afternoon at
Recreation Park
Game* Today
Oakland and San Franrltico at-Rec
reation park. '
l,o* Angelea and Portland at Vernon.
.Sacramento and Vernon at Sacra
mento.
With the first week of the Pacific
Coast baseball league over. Vernon
leads the league in tha race for the
baseball pennant. Happy Hogan's team
is somewhat of a surprise, as his ag
gregation finished In the cellar last
season. It has started off this year
with a rush. The local champions have
done all that was" expected of them.
They got away with the series with
Portland and they are second in the
race and within easy reach of the
leaders.
The season has started off like ia
banner one. The attendance for the
week has been unusually large and the
crowd that saw Sunday's game was one
of the largest that has ever gathered
at Recreation park. The series with
the Seals and the Portland club helped
along, as all the games were well con
tested and the teams played snappy
GETS "HITXKY" SHAM'
The local club appears to have a
fast aggregation of tossers and Man
ager Danny Long .has added another
inflelder to his team. He has secured
from' Charley Comiskey of the White
Sox Infielder Royal Shaw, who played
with the second division of his team.
Shaw is "a third baseman and a good
all around player. Comiskey had so
many inflelders that he v was compelled
to dispose of some of them, and Shaw
was one that fell under the hammer. -
With Shaw as a member of his team,
the Seals should be materially strength
ened. The local team needed another
infielder, for the last week Mohler
was out of the game through an in
jury, and if something had happened
to any of the other inflelders the team
would have been seriously crippled. The
Seals appear to be strong again this
season in their pitching department.
Miller looks to be an unusually good
man and Ames showed up very well in
last Sunday's game.
The Seals start off their series with
the Oaks this afternoon at Recreation
park. The transbay team has many
new faces in its lineup, and from the
early work of the Commuters they ap
pear to be. a handy bunch of ball
tossers. Harry Wolverton. former big
leaguer who is captain of the team,
.will make his debut before the local
fans.
ANGELS WILL IMPROVE
Up at Sacramento Happy Hogan's
team meets the Senators. Graham's
team also got away with the opening
series. TUis week's series will give
the fans a chance> to get a good line
on the real ability of the Vernonites.
Down at Vernon this afternoorr Port
land engages Los Angeles. Berry's
men got off to a poor start, but they
should do - better, as the Angels are
stronger than their position Indicates.
From all , indications the race in the
Coast league this year should be un
usually close.
Atito Club Holds First

The Auto gun club held their first

the playing rules with his eight regu
lar umpires and his recently appointed
