Boston, Dec. 22.-Dennis Donahue.

This is the text of the alleged Dona-

This is Lawson's reply: -

REORGANIZATION FOR NATIONAL
LIVESTOCK ASSOCIATION.
"A new PLAN IS DEVISED
Different Branches Of Industry to
Have Representation Through
General Committee.

a OSAN ANNS WILL NSSASSo Ny o0S-
eral local stockmen that next month
q meeting will be held in Denver OF
the National Livestock association,
when an effort will be made to reor-
ganize that moribund body. In the
past the Montana Stockgrowers' as
socIation and the North Montana
Roundup association have c~o-operated
with the national organization and
have taken considerable interest in it..
During the last year or more the ma
tional body has been on a decline and
has accomplished only little. 1t ap-
pears to be now threatened with total
Clsintegration and the Forthcoming
meeting will be for the purpose OF in
fusing it with new life.
Because of the excellent organiza-
tions they maintain it is believed that
the Montana stockmen will probably
not take a very active part in the re-
organozation proposed, although it is
quite likely that a number of them
will attend the meeting as individuals.
IT seems almost certain that none will
go as officially representing amy OF
the associations of the state.
Plan of Reorganization.
Sometime ago a committee was ap-
pointed by President Hagenbarth to
formulate a plan for the proposed re-
organization. This committee is now
at work and will have something to
submit at the meeting.
AS outlined already it is intended
to base the organization upon the vari-
GUS branches or interests of the stock
growing industry and each branch will
be regarded as a unit.
The primal representation of each
branc will be through a committee to
be selected by those interested in that
branch. This committee will be known
as the general committee" of the
branch selecting it. 1t will be select
ed and organized as those interested
may determine. Each of these general
committees will have full authority to
represent the branch or interest ap-
pointing it, but its executive authority
wild be confined to matters relating to
it's own branch of the industry.
The sole executive authority of the
national association will be confined
to an executive committee consisting
OF n nan from each branch of the
industry. This will be known as the
central committee, and each general
committee will select one of it's mem
bers to represent it's branch or inter-
est on the central committee.
By this method each branch of the
industry will have a general commit
tee and n representative on the GEN.
trail committee. The genaral commit
tie has only authority as regards it's
own branch, and speaks to the other
branches through it's members of the
central committee.
Delegate conventions are dispensed
with and in place there will be an
nllal meetings, at which all the gen.
eral committees meet in joint session
to hear reports of officers and make
suggestions and recommendations to
the central committee.

IAN FRANCISCO, Cal. Dec. lilo
S cal pride keeps Britt the fayorite
Ol over Nelson at 10 to g. and many Of
the Britt followers are confident
that the price will reach out to 10 to 6 on
the night of the battle. To most people,
however, the fight Tuesday night looks
like pretty even thing and there is COM
paratively little betting done on either
side. 1t is said that Nelson has bet every
cent he won on the Corbett fight on HIM
self at 10 to 8, and the little Dane is max
ing Larkspur echo with his waiting be-
cause he has no more money to bet.
The Britt family, always ardent sup
porters Of ]. Edward, have not been back
ward with their money, and it is likely
that if there was any method of determin
ing the ownership of the entire amount
wagered, the greater part of it would be
found to belong to the principals in Tues
day nights affair. Nelson is as confident
as ever and maintains that he can beat
Britt, principally because the Californian
is lacking in the hearty punch that does
the business with prize fighters. This is
Britt's one weakness. He has a fairly
good left, but it falls just little short

CRILLO WILL REMAIN
American Association President
Likely to Be Reelected
Special to The Globe

Special to The Globe
CINCINNATI, Ohio Dec. f7.-Presdent
j. Ed Grillo. while making no campaign
for the presidency of the American asso-
citation, will likely be reelected at the
annual meeting Dec. 2S 1t is possible
that another man may be chosen, but
those who are on the inside are inclined to
believe that the Cincinnati man will
again direct the destinies of the associa
tion. For some time there have been
rumors afioat that the position would be
offered to Thomas ]. Hickey, of st. Paul,
but it has been learned that Mr. Hickey
has other plans that would prevent his
acceptance were he disposed to take the
position.
1t is known that there is some opposi-
ti0n to Grillo in certain quarters of the
American association, but this opposition
at this time does not look particularly
formidable. 1t received a little added
strength through a rumor that Grillo was
considering resigning, but those who are
close to the president say that he will
not voluntarily relinquish the position.
Grillo's attitude is practically this: If the
American association wants him, he is
willing to serve; If the association does
not want him he will make no effort to
secure the berth. He likes the position
but is not infatuated with it.
1t may be that the opposition to Grillo
can organize sufficiently to bring another
candidate into the field, but who this
candidate will be no one, except those
constituting the opposition, knows. One
thing Is as certain as anything is certain
in baseball. it will not be Hickey

with the condition of his man. and he is
firmly convinced that there is but one out
come to the fight-that Nelson will win
it.
Nelson has been romping along the road
with his dogs to get his wind in good
condition. He feels that the fight may
be lengthy one and wants to be prepar-
ed. His plan of outrunning his dogs gives
him all the wind testing exercise he needs,
although 1t is rather hard on his canine
friends, some of which are not designed
for speed.
Over In Britts quarters there is that
dignified confidence that BELTS a cham
pion. Jimmie is ready to drop to weight
any moment and will go into the ring in
the best of shape. In his practice work
with the gloves he shows great speed.
and he and his sparring partners mix it
up hard and fast Britt also goes through
some rough and tumble work every day
with heavy man. This is precaution
against any,>such work on the part OF
Nelson.
The indications are that there will be
a record crowd at the fight Tuesday night.
There is a large sporting element here
and at Los Angeles on account of the
races, and they will all be present, pro-
vided the ponies have left them the
necessary price.
