going to fight Kid Herman at iona pah.
New, January 1, and that will be my last
fight" said Joe Cans. the champion light
weight boxer In Baltimore tonight. There
will be only one possibility of my going into
the ring again, that is il Battling Nelson
really wants to fight me and makes the
terms to suit me. I mean by this not such
terms as will give me every advantage, as
was given him at GOldfield, but anything
that is fair, square and equitable. Yes,
would be more than glad to fight him
again. After that 1t Is goodbye to the ring
for Joe Cans.
MY reason for retiring Is. first. that I
have now enough money to keep me all the
rest of my days. When you consider that
I have been fighting for more than half of
my life and do not have to keep it up, you
cannot blame me for going out of the game
at the top notch of success and before re-
verses come with advancing years.

was scored on twice today by the Villa
Nova eleven. The final score was 90 to II
in favor of the Philadelphia team The
two touchdowns which the visitors secured
were made through Pennsylvania poor
handling of punts In the back field.
Lawrence was guilty of the error which
gave Villa Nova her first score. The
Quaker quarterback juggled long low
punt by. Mcclellan and allowed the ball to
roll over the line, where McGinn fell on it
for the visitors. In the second half Long
well was substituted for Hollenback, who
was slightly injured, and one Of his FUN
bles gave the ball to McGinn at midfield
and the speedy back ran half the length of
the field for touchdown. Villa Nova did
not have an attack consistent enough or
strong enough to have scored against the
red and blue if the latter had not fumbled.
The Quakers scored their touchdowns by
rushing the ball down the field in good
fashion. The lineup:

ernment printing Office ON the floor:
OF the present convention Of the Amer

sion In Minnaa Iis. a resolutio has
been introduced under special order
by Delegate, Checking, in behalf OF the
International ,Typograp hical union, the
International Printing Pressmen's uni
on, the Assistants union and the In
ternational Brotherhood Of Bookbind-
ers. It recites an order by Public:
Printer Charles A. :Stillings directing,
the foremen and chiefs of departments
in the government printing Office to
prepare lists Of employees whose serv-
ices can be dispensed with, basing
their findings on the efficiency, charac-
ter. department, health and clean1i-
ness, attendance, length Of service,
future desirability and special defects
of the men in question. This order,
the resolution ayers, tends to humili-
ate the employees of the Office and "will
bring dissatisfaction, discord and dis
organization among them, results pref
judicial to the best interests and eff
fciency of the government printing
office. It also, SO says the resolu-
ton, tends to prejudice the stand
ard and independence of an American
citizen. = 81. IA i ss55 @- .,s WY ~
The resolution calls on the fedora
ton to investigate. through its ex-
ecutive council, the general policy of
Mr. Stillings toward the employees of
the Office and recommends that heads
OF departments removed from posi-
tons by reason Of refusal to stultify
