(INO IV GLIDDEN MRS ARE PENALIZED IN SHORT DUN Autoists Have a Short Day's Run, But Distance Alone Favored the-Drivers, FIVE CARS SUFFER Motorists Have Sunday Run From Little Rock to Hot Springs. Associated Press. Hot Springs, Ark.. June 20. —Sun- day’s run of the Glidden tour was littlo more than a joy ride, the ears making the 65 miles from Little Rock to Hot Springs before lunchtime. The temper ature was about 100 and the roads were very dusty. That the day’s run was a terrible grind on the contesting ears was shown by the fact that even in so short a run five machines wert. penalized. The most serious mishaps were to Lexington 103, which has been the lead er for the Chicago trophy. About 30 miles out of Hot Springs this car broke its right frame. It is out of the con test as a result of the accident. Nine miles out of this city Carter— car 108 —broke its rear axle. Others to lose points were the OMo, 111, which took water six times on the short run and was penalized eighteen points therefor; Carter, car 8, which lost 13 points for tightening a spring seat and for work on its driving chain, and Cino, 15, which lost 16 points for tightening wheel bolts. The half day’s rest in this city is a welcome relief to the weary Glidden ites. The Hot Springs automobilists have given the tourists a very welcome brand of entertainment. In the first place bath tickets were furnished for all as the cars came in and it is doubt ful if a single man of the whole Glid den crew failed to take advantage of the famous baths and rubdowns. During the afternoon many of the tourists were taken over the govern ment. reservation and later a Dutch luneh and plenty to smoke and drink was served at the Essex Country club. 19-YEAR-OLD BOY MAKES BIKE RECORD Boston, June 20. —A new long dis tance bicycling record between New York and Boston was announced today.

Astrological Data Points to Victory for Jeffries Pacific Coast Prophet Claims Signs De clare That Former Champion Will Defeat Johnson in 12 Rounds. What has #«trology got to do with the big fight? A great deal, it would seem, if you look at the birthdays of the two men. The signs of the zodiac are twelve in number, but there are only seven planets. The names of the planets are Mars, Jupiter, Mercury, Sun Moon, Venus and Saturn. Mars and Mercury are the fighting x signs, with Jupiter third in aggresiveness. The majority of the fighters of the world were born under these three signs, but best known of them were born under the first two. Strange t is it not? A man said the other day: “We have one fighter who has something lacking in his make-up, and they cannot tell what it is.’’ What is his birthday? January 12. That accounts for his failure. Hi's birthday is in the negative sign of the earth whose emotions are pity and fear, bis planet is Saturn—the unlucky one. This man, therefore, is apt to overtrain and overtax his strength. He will prob ably suffer with acute indigestion, so that he cannot depend upon his stom ach. He will get fits of the blues, and lack confidence in his own powers. Un der the sign of Mars, or its cusp, were born the following figliiers: Mars. James J. Jeffries, November 15, Mars. Thomas Sharkey, November 26, Mars and Jupiter. Joe Thomas, April 9, Mars. Charley Mitchell, November 24, Mars and Jupiter. Joe Gans, November 25, Mars and Jupiter. Jack Johnson, March 31, Jupiter and Mars. Frank Gotch, April 27, Mars and Venus. Mercury. Tommy Burns, June 17, Mercury and Venus. James J. Corbett, September 1, Mer cury. Robert Fitzsimmons, June 4, Mer cury. Stanley Kctcbel, September 4, Mer cury and Venus.. Battling Nelson, June 5, Mercury. Jack Sullivan, September 23, Mercury and Venus. Mercury people are energetic, aggres sive, hopeful, good judges of character, and are called the air people. Mars people are aggressive, born fighters and leaders of men, and are called the fire people. You will notice that both Jeffries and Johnson are born under the Mars sign, hut Jeffries has the best of it, because the sign that is next to him is a good one, while the one that Johnson is next to is a bad one. CHARACTERISTICS OF THE MEN. Jeffries. Jeffries is a Mars man, with a strong love of home. He travels with his wife, and is deeply attached to her. His habits are good. The combination of Mars, the fire sign, with Taurus, the earth sign, serves to steady him, for fire and earth are together. He is quick in thought and action, secretive, a good planner, knows what he is go ing to do beforehand, counts the. cost before starting in, and is not afraid of Furnish Your House ON EASY PAYMENTS.

In this fight he considers he has a principle at stake. He counts himself the champion of the whole white race. He feels that the negro has no right to place himself on an equality with any white man, and therefore he is the white champion, against a black usurp er. and he proposes to teach him a les son. With him there is no personality about it, only principle. And just be cause there is a principle he feels it his duty to fight for it. He long ago set a mark for himself —and that mark was victory and its goal was victory. There fore, watch how careful he is in regard to his habits, preparation for training and the men that he surrounds himself with. Only one thing can be said against him, that he has broken training, and that men who break training are apt not to get back into it again. Johnson. Johnson is a mixture of Mars and Jupiter, of Aries the'fire sign and Pis ces the water sign, a bad combination, for fire and water never mix; they are natural enemies. Instead of taking the best qualities of the sign, he seems to have chosen the worst of them. He is of a roving disposition, strongly opin ionative, selfish, jealous, hot-tempered, recklessly impetuous and fickle. He plunges recklessly into folly; he has lack of memory, is curious, unreason ably stubborn, is afraid of ridicule and really lacks confidence in his own pow er. He is filled with self esteem, has Ween arrlsted twelve times, mostly for recklessly endangering human life with the use of an automobile. He is fickle, has broken his contract twice with two theaters and has had his baggage at tached. He is careless of his physical condition and drinks continually. He is hot-tempered. Look at the Stanley Ketehel fight, where he rushed his man, knocked his teeth out and fell sprawl ing all over him. His great weakness is his stomach. He lacks judgment brutal force with him predominates. He lacks both the character and brains of bis white opponent. The Result. The fight will not last twelve rounds At first Jeffries will play with Joht son, continually telling him what he thinks of him,‘and he will get him rat tled and really scared, for Johnson Is a coward at heart, for at last he will realize that his time has come. Final ly Jeffries will knock him out with a body blow. STAGG TO LECTURE ON JAPANESE BASEBALL Associated Press. Chicago, June 20. —Coach A. A.

DRUMMERS' JOKE OF DEVIL BABY RAISES BIG HUB BUB Started Rumor as a Hoax, But It Grew and Grew Until There Are Now Scores of Persons Wearing Out Shoe Leather on Quest to See Little Horned Messenger of Evil. Six weeks ago, when Halley's comet, according to hysterical prophets, threatened to destroy the world, a cei tain city drummer in order to add spiee to the situation, circulated a hair raising story to the effoet that a negro child had been born with horns ami a tail. He related the story to the effect that the negro babe could be >n the darkey settlement near the South ern Pacific passenger station, but was very careful not to give the exact lo- ’ cation. In relating the yarn about the little - black devil, the drummer stated that । the mother was an infidel and that tho j father was a devout Christian. One 1 evening when the father returned home] from work, his wife became angered at him for reading the Bible, and grab bing the holy book from his hands, threw it into the kitchen stove, where it was consumed by the flames. As the negro woman consigned the Bible to the fire she exclaimed: “I would rath er have the devil in the house than that Bible.” Several weeks later, according to the story of this knight of the grip, a baby boy was born to the woman and it was equipped in an up-to-date devil ish fashion with a pair of horns and a tail. Mr. Drummer stated that when the father attempted to kill the evil, omen that appeared at the home, the little imp spoke up and said that if he j was put to death there would be sfiveu | THE FIRST DAY OF JUNE MARKS THE BEGINNING OF DRAUGHON'S GREAT SUMMER OFFER IT IS UP TO YOU. 4- ..orilant oopoTtunily op«n io e«rv young man and woman In Sauthweat T»«»a TOSITIONB “enzSl.

The hoax worked well among the ne gro population, and many little knots of men and women were seen nightly kneel ing in the middle of the street praying for salvation and that they might be i spared from the evil influences of the I Halley comet and the baby devil. The I practical joke of the drummer worked all right on the negro population, but 1 the jolly knight of the grip was not sat i isfied until he turned the attention of । the whites on the subject. In this ho ' succeeded from the fact that he would give the names of people who had seen the little devil. As a result of the re port hundreds of women hiked all over the east side of the city after dark in looking for the s'range visitor. Many were dubious over the report of the devil, but the majority are still wearing out shoe leather in hunting the joke and believe that, every word of that drum mer is the gospel truth.
