Some uch thought, ap parently, runt through hit mind trom time to time. Rides Skittish Hone. We ue the .term apparently for lack of greater authority other than the ttory carried into the Florida training camp by ball player who viewed Mr. Kuth't activitiet at first hand. They tell how he began hit galloping career aboard a horse that was a perfect lady, demanded more action, got it, and still undaunted, claimed the most kiitish animal in the town at his own. To carry out the illusion to the full he had them rig the stirrups high after the manner of jockeys who wish to do their riding up behind the horse's ears. Which is quite all right for jockeys. They usually weigh in about 98 degrees Fahrenheit, and could sit on the horse's nose without seriously interfering with his respira tion. Mr. Ruth is not that kind of a jockey. A peculiar figure of a man . at best, he could hardly be imagined as an equestrian of any considerable grace. But with his knees elevated by high stirrups? Pardon our immod erate laughter." Mr. Ruth should put that nttic act on between the first and second games of a double-header at the Polo grounds. That would be just about tantamount to driving Kick Altrock out of major league base ball. Standings in Pin Tourney Shaken Up Toledo. O.. March 21.

A benefit show fur the parents of Terry U'Mallory n wliidi all local boxing talent will appear will be staged by Hert Mut,b. local promoter, provided the state boxing comniii lion will grant a special date. . Muih announced hi intention this morning at a result of the frost given lt n in tit's Cornhukker show, the proceeds of which were to be given the dead Omaha battler a parents. Muth said the show could be staged in the Orpheutn with little expense. i-oral boxers, including Srhlaifrr ami l'Riin, are willing to donate their services for such a cause. Lost Money on Show. Muth lias the date for the next fight April 3 for the police show, and it would be necessary for the commission to authorize a special match. There is no reason why it should not do so except for the rule placing a limitation of the number of fights each month. For such a cause it is certain the comish would not come in for any censure for hoodwinkltiff at it. The Cornhusker show lacked $400 of making expenses last night. - Jake Isaacson, promoter, said a purse woujd be given O'Mallory's parents despite this toss. Main Etent a Fizzle. N'ot only was last nieht's show a failure from the box office point of view, but alfo from fans'. The main event between Battling Ortega of Laiitornia and Morne Lux of Kan sas City was a complete fizzle. The bout was ended in the sixth round by Referee Shea after Ortega had landed a backhand blow for the sixth time. The Californian had been repeatedly warned against such tac tics. The referee's action was ap proved by fans. Ortega could not hit and Lux could not guard. Even from a slugging standpoint it was anything but a success. Both were willing fighters and plenty of claret was sprinkled around the ring when the bout was ended. Semi-Windup Saves Card. Lux was gettiug the worst of the milling and several times was on the verge of taking a dive. Ortego also was in distress several times. The real fight of the evening was between Joe Gorman, Portland light weight, and Arlos Fanning of Kan sas City. It was called a draw, but the Oregon flash really deserved the decision on his aggressiveness, for he never showed any inclination to "tin can" at any time during the 10 stanzas. Mr. Fanning no doubt wasJtickled to death with a draw. He was dropped in the ninth round, but was on his feet fighting before the crowd had hardly realized what happened. Buck Timothy was given a worm's eye view of circling lights in the 10th round of his affray with Harry Bramer of Denver. Bramer furnished the nucleus for said dive with a right hook to the jaw. Timothy tiad a big lead in points on him at that time. Famous Jockey Turns "Opium , Hound-"Won $10,000 Futurity New York, March 22 Frank Dun- at New Orleans.
