New York, Oct. 23. "I'm not so worried about my nose as all that," laughingly said James J. Jeffries, at the Hotel Albany this morning when questioned regarding a report today that he Intended to be operated on. The big fellow was In fine humor and was greeted by a score or more of sporting and newspaper men. '"Why there is nothing serious about this nose business," Jeffries said. "I could get along all right without an
operation, but sooner or later I am
going to have it fixed up to help my
breathing. It has never worked just
right since I stopped a hard smash with it a few years ago. I don't know when I'll have it clone. I h?.ve got
several matters that I consider of
more importance to attend to first
Jefr started in to make this a busy day. After breakfast he chatted for half an hour with his visitors and
then left with his manager, Sam Ber-
ger, to attend to some business affairs.
He wouldn't say Just what the busi
ness was, but asked whether it had
to do with the match with Jack Johnson he replied: On Fight Business. "Sure. All my business points In that general direction right now." "Do you expect Johnson to meet you in person. Jeff, to make the match, or do you. think he will leave the terms in the hands of George Little, and when do you expect to get together?" one of the newspaper men asked. Word had already reached New York that Johnson was on his way east. "I don't know much more about it than you do," Jeffries replied, "but my guess is that Johnson and Little both will come on. I hope so, anyway,
as I'll feel better about this business when all of us who are parties to it have got together and fixed it up hard and fast. I do not know whon they will get here, but they ought to breeao In pretty soon." No Sparring Program. This afternoon Jeffries put in a couple of hours work at Jack Cooper's gymnasium. He hasn't framed up any sparring program yet but he and Berger may swap a few taps. Asked If he figured on getting down to real hard training here, he said: "No. I;
am going to keep on just as I have
been doing for weeks, working enough
to keep my weight down and my mus
cies m shape. I won't attempt any real road work or serious boxing un
til I get into permanent training quar
ters. That will probably be in the
west. Most likely in the neighborhood of Loa Angeles, although it will all depend, of course, on where we fight"
"How about the theatrical business.
Jeff?" another one rsked.
Haven t given it much thought," replied the big fellow. "If I've got to
wait around with nothing to do I might take on a contract for a week
or so, but you can't put it too strong
that neither theatrical nor any other business or pleasure will be permitted to Interfere with my match with Johnson in any possible way. I'm here to fight him and I'm going to as soon and thoroughly as I can. Just say that for me and say it strong."
A NEW GUN RECORD
" (American News Service) Washington, Oct. 23. The coast defense guns at Fort Hancock, near Sandy Hook. N. J., have made a new record. At a moving target four miles off the ten-inch disappearing guns were fired, and four hits out of four shots in one minute were recorded. The records established are for speed and accuracy.
(Staff Correspondent.) Indianapolis, Oct. 2. Earlham was
defeated on Irvington field by Butler this afternoon by a score of 0 to 0. The game was an exceptionally bard one
and O to 0 would more nearly repre
sent the score. The defeat of Earl ham may be accounted for in four ways. First, the
field was wet and muddy and it was impossible for the Quakers to make
any fast plays. Secondly, the head
linesman was continually favoring Butler on the line. Third, the off
side plays of Stanley, and fourth the
injury to Haworth in the second half.
The first half opened with a kickoff
by Thomas. Turbyville caught the ball
and made a long run gaining forty
yards. Earlham then made continual gains until the ball was carried to the twenty yard line, from the Earlham goal post. The Quakers then lost the
ball by failing to make enough gains Earlham gradually lost its ground be
cause of the weight of Butler. The ball then went to Connolly and because
of no assistance he was forced to run back twenty yards. Stanley jumped over the Butler center before the whistle was blown and the Quakers were penalized five yards. This seemed to be an incentive for the Earlham center and he made five other similar jumps
during the game. Earlham was gradually forced back and Connolly made an attempt to kick. The ball went to Butler. Thomas passed to Leech, who scored the first touchdown for
Butler and kicked goal, at the close of
the first half.
The Second Half. The second half opened with the bail
in possession of the Quakers, but Earl
ham was unable to hold her ground because of the muddy field and the
weight of the Butler players. The
ball changed hands several times and each squad was penalized for off side
plays. Haworth was kicked in the
side several times and was forced to
retire, Hughes being substituted. This was a hard blow to the Quakers, who were working hard for a touchdown.
Grier undoubtedly played the best
game, while Connolly and Haworth shared the honors for Earlham. Lineup an dsummary: Butler, 6. Earlham, 0. Stifler Reagan, Larrance

Boston, Mass., Oct. '23. Some detail? of the achievements of William James Sidis, the eleven-year-old prodigy, who has just entered Harvard with the highest honors, are published here, and go to show that the youth, who 1j gravely declared to be the most learne 1 under graduate that has ever entered

His precocity is the fruit of a parental theory of mid growth put into practice from the very beginning of his life. Young Sidis is the son of Dr. Boris Sidis, a Boston psychologist, who years before the boy's birth had developed
very advanced ideas on the subject of child training. On the basis that as soon as a child begins to grow its brain begins to grow also, and that the braii: is less and less sensitive to training aage increases. Dr. Sidis had planned and developed an elaborate system, which he applied to his son. The child's training was begun with a set of alphabetical blocks when ho was a little over a year old. When
his young son, sitting on the nursery
floor, said "Ba ba," Dr. Sidis took two of these blocks, denoting A and B., respectively, held them before his eyes and showed him first the 'B" block and then the "A" block. Order Reversed. Later on Dr. Sidis reversed this order and showed him the other sound that was represented by these two letters. In a little while, on being shown first the "A" block and then the "B" block, the child would say "Ab " Thus, not yet two years old, he learned to talk, read and spell all at once. Before he was two and a half years old precocious William James would sit on the floor in the midst of his blocks and spell out various words This was his way of playing. He was
next taught to count. Then, because

played with these. (
One day he startled his parents by announcing that he was able to tell on what day of the week any given date would fall. It was first thought that in his play with the calendars he had memorized some of the dates. Upon investigation, however, it was found that he had worked out all by himse'f a method of counting enabling him mentally to calculate any date demand

By the time he was five years old he was not only able to read, write and speak English and to use a typewriter, but he was an expert accountant, had begun to study French and Latin, and had written a textbook on anatomy and another on English grammar presumably for his own use.
