clubs greatly wrought up the stoppage
of amateur boxing contests at the Business
Mems league Saturday night by the police. and
are preparing to test the state laws governing
such exhibitions. Chief Of Police Kily draws
the line between amateur and professional box
ers. The club officials say the law makes no
such discrimination, and that bona fde mem
bers Of club have a right to spar for fun,
whether they be professionals or not.
member of the club said: 1.-THE Columbian
Athletic club is firm in the belief that there
is no law to stop boxing matches for the ediica-
ton of club members, and we going to put
our beliefs to the test. Our club is Iegiti-
mately chartered institution, and the police have
nothing to do with it long as We commit no
breach of the peace. The bouts In our ring
strictly boxing sparrins matches md not
prize fights, and do not come under the laws
of Missouri
President R. c. Day Of the Missouri Ath-
letic club the largest in the city, said: ST
shall call a meeting of the board of directors
to discuss Chief Kily's pronunciamento against
boxing matches. 1 have no wish to violate
the law, but do not believe we have been doing
so. Until we have investigated this. all plans
for the dual boxing meets scheduled for Dec.
% must rest in abeyance.'

Army Best Of Year.

West Point N. Y, Nov. 2S.-The cadets had
only light practice today, merely running thru
the signals and getting down under punts. Some
minor injuries resulted from the game against
Syracuse, and no chances are to be taken that
may aggravate them. The teams work against
Syracuse showed such an improvement over the
past exhibition that the army adherents are
much brighter and feel more confidence in the
team than at any time for the past month.
The offensive work was the best seen here
this year, and hauling and dragging the man
with the ball along after he his
knees, showed plainly that to stop such attack
the mfddtes will have to have strong defense.

Annapolis, Nov. 2S.-The naval academy foot.
ball eleven began their last weeks work before
meeting West Point with great spirit. There is
no overconfdence at Annapolis or disposition to
underrate the army team because Of its compare
lively poor work early in the season. but 1t is
the earnest belief of everyone here that the navy
is better than the army this year. and If it plays
its game it will win by small. score.
This belief is based the fact that tho
navy has played a strong game in every con-
test this year, and proved that it is away above
the navy standard for many years. The prac-
tice yesterday afternoon was directed by Head
Coach Dashiells. There was a small army Of

Do Ducks Commit SuicideP

TENDER notes of wounded ducks commit
ting suicide Four or five cases have been
brought to my attention of wounded ducks
that have dived to the bottom and held
fast to some object till they were dead. l
do not for a moment dispute the fact:
only differ from my correspondents In my
Interpretation of the fact. My explanation
of It is this: The wounded bird has but
one impulse, and that is to hide from It's
enemy. If ii were on the shore 1t would
hide In the grass or weeds In the water

cautiously and tries TO escape in that way.
The intent of deliberate suicide Is, OF
course, absurd.
