JACK ROOT FIGHT DRAW
Chicago Man Strong in Third, but
Lowell Fighter Evens Things.

CHICAGO, Feb. 26.-Jack Root, Of
this city, and George Gardner, of Low
ell, Mass. fought a six-round draw
here tonight. The fight was fast
throughout, and with the exception Of
the third round, when Root had the
better, and the fifth, when Gardner
eVened up the advantage Root had
gained, the fight was even. Root play
ed for the jaw, and Gardner for the
body all through. Root landed fire.
quently on the jaw in the third round,
and at the close Gardner was hanging
on. In the fifth round Gardner gave
Root a severe pounding on the body
and sent him to his corner badly weak
ened. Both men fought desperately in
the last round and Root landed a hard
right on the jaw that forced Gardner to
cllnch. He quickly recovered, however.
and ended the round by a series of
heaVy body blows. Both men were
bleeding freely at the finish.

staaa Loses Crack Runner.

CHICAGO, Feb. 26.-On the charge
of cheating in class work." Fred Hall,
the crack distance runner of the Uni
Versity of Chicago, has been suspend
ed for the quarter and debarred from
all athletic contests for the rest of the
year. The accusation against Hall is
that he copied geological map from
the work of another student.
Halls defense is that the work was
assigned to be done outside of class
room hours and that he did not know it
was not permitted for two students to
work together.
The suspension will throw him out
OIL the remaining indoor meets, the
spring outdoor dual meets. the trim
East to the Pennsylvania games. the
conference meet, and the Olympian
contests.

After coaching the Cornell baseball

in the university natatorium. BY mis-
take the tank had not been filed and
Jennings made a high dive into it be-
fore he noticed the fact. With a ter

JOHN L. SULLIVAN'S
SHOW ON THE TIES
Big Fellows Vaudeville Show Goes
Bump in Derby, Conn.

DERBY, Conn, Feb. 26.-John l..
Sullivan and a vaudeville company
with which he has been doing TWEEN
ty-minute monolOgue turn for the last
six weeks, are stranded in WiIlimantic,
where their engagement at the Lowell
opera house came to an inglOrious end.
John l.. in monologue wasn't John L..
with the gloves on, and while the big
fellow was great attraction on his
way to and from the theater, few shek-
els reached the box office.
Everywhere in Connecticut this was
the rule, but in Willimantic the ex-
pugilist found his company more nu-
merous than the audience, and he was
forced to throw up the sponge.
John L. declined offers of monetary
assistance with the remark that he had
been all in many times before and that
it didn't bother him a bit. Sullivan has
left town.

BOWLERS BUY STOCK
Milwaukee Busy Raising Funds
for Big Tournament.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Feb. 26. - No
trouble will be experienced by Mil
waukee bowlers in raising sufficient
funds with which to run the national
tournament here next year. The sub
scription fund has grown rapidly, many
bowlers having taken 500 worth of
stock in the company which is to be
formed.
The bowlers who have charge of the
preliminary arrangements have decid-
ed to sell fifty shares of stock at 500
each, and as soon as all the stock is
taken a meeting will be called, when a
permanent organization will be per-
fected.
Although there was a move at one
time to get up an opposition ticket to
the one decided upon at a conference
of the leading bowlers, it is quite prob
able that this will be abandoned.
Charles Mol, Will Terry, John Koerner
and several others have done more
than all the other bowlers combined
towards landing the convention and the
general impression among the local ten
pin knights is that they should be given
the leading offices in the tournament
association.
Charles Moll, candidate for the presi-
dency, is surely entitled to the place.
He sacrificed himself at Cleveland by
resigning in favor of Mayor Rose, when
he had the presidency of the A. B. G.
at his command. VIII Terry, who has
been prominently mentioned for treas
urer, is a capable business man and
should prove a good financial man for
the organization. John Koerner has
withdrawn as candidate for vice
president, but it is understood that he
is to be chairman of the committee on
arrangements. Abe Langtry, Sam
Kind and c. Van Ness are the candi-
dates for secretaryship, but as Langtry
has had more experience than the 9TH
er two i'll conducting Journeys he will

December 80, while the report is dated
January Is.
1t is understood that all the neces-
sary changes will be carried out with
the least possible delay after obtain
ing the formal consent Of Parliament
where it is necessary.
The report is practical and business
like. It says it is necessary to make
a complete breach with the past and
endeavor to reconstitute the War Of
fee with an eye single to the effective
training and preparation of the mill
tary forces for war and again it says:
1.-The object should be to secure for
the British empire with the least pos
sible arrangement of the existing ma
chinery the Immediate advantages
which a general staff conferred upon
Germany"
Contrasting the efficiency of the Ad-
miralty with the inefficiency of the
War Office, the report complains that
the latter has no thinking depart
ment.'
LONDON, Feb. 1.-The morning
papers editorially applaud the report
of the Lord Esher Commission as
thorough and practical and express
the hope that the Government will ex-
ecute the reforms with courage and
DrOHn ptitude.
