The articles Of agreement signed last
June by Jim Corbett and Tom Sharkey
in San Francisco, in regard to their
contemplated championship encounter,
calls for finish, but the recent fight
talk coming from Frisco, note, is con-
sidering ten-round go between them
FOR the heavyweight championship"
Up to this writing, however, Sharkey
has not been heard from, and it is prob
able he will not agree to modify the
original finish into such a small num-
Der of rounds. But could there be a
bona-fide championship contest, limited
by ten rounds? 1t would be quite a
cOmedown, to say the least, and it
would probably be relegated to a dis
tinct class Of its own, specified as ten
round championship contest, the win
ner being dubbed the ten-round heavy
weight champion. 1t may be consid-
cred If pugilism ever falls into this rut
there will be limit-round champion
ships, from one round up to a hundred
Or more, and herein there may be pos
sibly solution of a division of the
spoils among the various heavies now
claiming the title. Let each claim his
special number CT rounds, at which
Notch he feels he can lick anybody, and
stay to it consistently in his newspaper
talk.
Regarding Corbett and Sharkey, the
supervisors of San Francisco have al
ready granted the boxers a permit to
meet for ten rounds there when they
get ready. l advise the sports Of that
country to get two or three other ten
round permits, while they are at it, and
sew them together for this special &C.
casion. The nativity of so many gold
en- sons of the arena should not be the
first towant to knock finish institutions
down to ten rounds.

Training Schools for Housekeepiue.
A number Of philanthropic, clear
headed and warm-hearted women have
started an idea which has in it the
merit Of good sense and the elements
Of comfort and correct management
for many households
Training schools for domestic serv-
ants have been a pet project with
philanthropists for many years, but
unfortunately they have not surned
out well, and have been temporarily
abandoned by their sponsors, who
gave them up. not permanently, but
only for the time being. or until some
more favorable conditions presented
themselves.
It may be questioned II such an in
stitution will ever become popular or
self-sustaining. There are many ar
guments against its success, and many
reasons why 1t has no good grounds for
hope Of long-continued existence.
And the strongest arguments against
it are the nature, education and hab-
its Of the class for whose instruction
and benefit it is designed and main
.ained.
Families whose daughters are likely
to go into domestic service rarely have
money to spare to pay for educating
them in household matters, even II
they were willing to admit that the
girls who had been taught under their
own eyes were susceptible Of any i'm
provement.
