Director Baird, of Michigan, Believes
the Coach's Contract Is Binding.

Kansas City. Dec ia slight differ
ence has arisen between Coach Yost and
Manager Baird on account of the rumor
that a salary of $4,000 had been offered 10
the former by the Missouri university.
Baird maintains that Yost's contract binds
him to Michigan. This Yost denies.
Several univeI stiles have asked for my
services says Yost They have asked
me to set price, but have not done SO.
1 am, it is true, undecided, and while it
is very likely that I shall return to Ann
Arbor next year, it is not at all certain"
Manager Baird makes this statement: Il
am no lawyer, but from the way the con-
tract reads, I presume that it means that
Yost stays indefinitely
1t is said unonieially that meeting viii
be held at Ann Arbor this week to discuss
raising Yost's salary The difference of
opirion between coach and manager over
the contract is not considered serious, as
they are in Kansas City together.

Letting Chicago Battle.

Chicago, Dec. 16-The offer of a Phila-

for fight between Fitzsimmons and Run

and it is proposed to bring these two fight
ers together. in Tattersalls, guaranteeing
them a purse of 5000, or 50 per cent OF the
gross receipts. Fattersalls will seat $500
spectators and it is figured this fight
would bring in $4,000. McGovern and
Broad fought there to an $4,000 house.
Fitzsimmons is the only heavyweight
whom Mayor Harrison will permit to tighS
in Chicago. He has declared himself on
this proposition. He says FitzsimmonS IS
the only heavyweight fighter now before
the public who is on the square. and he is
also friendly to Rubin. so it is thought
there will be no trouble in pulling the fight
off here. Counting the subsidies to the po-
lice and politicians it is figured that it
would be very profitable after allowing Tor

New York, Dec. 16.-The largest sum ever
expended by any college for aqua tic work

represented by varsity and freshmen
crews in the intercollegiate rowing next
season. 1t will cost $4,000, which is $1,000

The increased expenditures are due to
two items, the expense of purchasing the

the University Rowing club by proni-
nent graduate.
The new boathouse," says Barrett LET

Lone Star Boat club for s. 300. There is a
balance of $500 due on or before January l.
The boathouse must be moved and most
advantageous site has been secured at an
annual rental of $50. the lease to run seven
years. on Sherman creek. opposite Morris

MIcHIGAN's LAWS.
Are Severe on Everybody Connected
With a Prize Fight.

Detroit, Mich, Dec. 16.-The Metro
politan Athletic club is considerably
alarmed just now over a recent rullhS
of the Michigan supreme court that u
prize fight is a personal contest or conf
petition in which there is expectation
OF reward and an intent to intiict some
degree of bodily HARM Under this rui-
ing the sporting fraternity have little
hopes of inducing the authorities to be
lieve that the McGovern-Corbett ngnt,
scheduled for the last of January in De-
troit. is a sparring contest. The hgnt-
ers are to get 6275 per cent. of the gross
receipts, IS per cent. to go to the WIN
ner and % per cent. to the loser.
This is considered reward enough Tor
contestants to do bodily harm to satisfy
any court. Prosecuting Attorney Hunt
declared in a previously proposed con-
test that he could not stop it by injunc-
ton, but that the mayor had the power
to refuse the permit.
Mayor Maybury has declared that I'M
der no Circumstances will he allow the
fight in Detroit, if it is other than an
exhibition. 1t may, under the circum-
stances, be held outside the city. In
that case Governor Bliss has authority
to force the officials to prevent the fight.
That Governor Bliss will take vigorous
action if necessary is the general belief
of all who know him.
The opinion of John J. Downey, the
superintendent of police, is that the fight
between Terry McGOVern and Young

AS is very frequently found the stomach
trouble and headache in the following case
came from the same cause. DR.. Miles Anti
Pain Pills, like all OF Dr. Miles Remedies,
are designed to cure the disease, not the
symptoms. This readily explains why these
sterling medicines can cure such variety of
diseases. There is no remedy, formula or
prescription which in any way equals Dr.
Miles Anti-Pain Pills for the speedy cure
and relief of headache and kindred ailments
"Up to tire age of twenty-three my son was
greatly troubled with severe pains in the
stomach. After he had served his term of
enlistment with the army in the Philippines
he came home and was unfit for anything
because of terrible headaches. He found
that DIR. Miles Anti-Pain Pills not only re-
lieved him of the headaches but would pre-
vent an attack if taken in time. He contin-
ued their use for some time and to his sur
prise and delight he found they had cured
the stomach trouble also. You may imagine
how grateful both he and myself feel to you
for the good the Anti-Pain Pills have done
him. / may add that have used your med
