Another Chance for Reform.

r MID all of the hip-hip-hurrah
~ about football it appears
4 = strange that mo one should
have anything to say about the brutal
ity Of intercollegiate debates. Victory
is only bought at the defeat of the op-
ponents. Vast halls are filed with
gatherings Of she-persons and superan-
uated he-persons and the sordid strug-
gle for supremacy gives full swing to
a all Of the avaricious and partisan pas
sions which are called into play by the
contest. The crowds are swayed with
a fierce spirit of competition and the
performances of the debaters, are mag
nifed, glorifed and the orators sub
jected, to the dangers of infection by
the germs of the disease commonly
known as swelled head.
Another great and poignant evil of
these demoraizing debate affairs is the
hiring Of professional coaches profess
sional elocutionists, regular Curfew-
must-not ring tonight wizards----to show
the young idea how to spread -eagle with
the gesturng arm and cut the s figure
8 with the pleading eye.
Another evil is the playing Of heavy
varsity debate teams against the lighter
teams from Postum Trot Hollow and
Lick Skillet Hill.

JOE CANTILLON IS
At TER BIC LEAGUERs
Milwaukee Manager Has a Few
Old Players Under Con-
tract.

Special to TIE Journal.
Milwaukee, Feb. Hottie indica-
tions are that Manager Joe Cantillon
will have just as strong, if not stronger,
a team for his Milwaukee club in 1906.
Joe is not hurrying about signing his
players, as he claims he will get bet
ter lot to pick from when the major
leagues begin wedding out the latter
part of April and May than he possibly
can now. He says the players being
waived on now are those who were
" covered up and not fast enough for
the big majors.
The Milwaukee club, as near as can
be judged now, will line up about as
follows: ..-
Catchers-Bevile, Wolfe and Hickey.
Pitchers-Dougherty. Hickey. Goodwin, Cur
It's possibly Manskel and few youngsters,
with one more from the American league.
First Base-Bateman, altho If Rossman should
fail to make good at Cleveland. he would prob
ably be the man.
Second Base-Barry Mccormick.
Third Base-Harry Clark. -
Shortstop-Major league player. unless Rob
| inson is returned (Joe expects New York to
turn Robinson over to Toledo:
with Boston. secured from New Orleans. -
| Center Field-Hempbill, If returned by Com
iskey, otherwise either Knoll Congalton. now
| with Cleveland.
| Right Field-McChesney or Cymer. the latter
with Pittsburg, having been drafted from Buf.
falo.
Manager Cantillon has been offered
several fielders from the major league
clubs, but as yet he has not closed for
any of them. Clymer of the pirates is
a crackerjack of fielder and would be
q c+ar 60 would Conrol+oo p-bo MOS
with Columbus last season. Knoll is
also a splendid fielder and has been
making good in the Southern league.
Charlie ,Comiskey has promised Joe a
couple of good players, one of them a
pitcher, so that the brewer manager
will not want for players.

The suspension Of football would
mean much to Madison. The rising and
the setting Of the sun and the arrival
of the 4 CLOCK train from Minneapolis
are the three events of the day in Ma1i-
son, and if football suspension: does go
thru the. town will become as quiet as
a st. Paul street on a busy: day We

ment at Madison in the next number of

CAUGHT THE s.FREsHIES"
"Grade Rule'' of Eligibility Knocked
Out Basketball Players.

Special to The Journal. :.
Webster City, Iowa, Feb. 1o.-The re-
suits Of the grade rule' are begin
ming to be felt in the Boone Valley
High School Athletic association. The
working Of the rule has disqualified
every member of the freshman basket
ball team in this city. The members
have just received their report cards
for the past month and while the mem
beers of the team rank well up to the
average Of high school scholarship,
nevertheless that section of the rules
which states that every student con-
testing in any event must show marks
. in each branch above 70 per cent; has
wrecked havoc among the freshie ath-
letes and has left the frst-year class
without a basketball team.
The Boone Valley association is of
recent formation. The present members
are Webster City, Nevada, Goldfeld,
Eagle Grove, Clarion, Boone and Iowa
Falls. 1t is expected that when the
track and baseball seasons open up,
other cities lying in or near the Boone
river valley will come into the asso-

as the limit of three rounds made the
participants anxious to murder each

some of the nastiest goes which have
ever gone under the libel Of boxing
The short 30 was standing invitation
for the boxers to neglect training and
depend entirely upon a stiff punch, and
as result New York was Cutting
itself with the spectacles. The authori-
ties finally awakened to what was 60
ing on and put stop to it. They de-
serve criticism for not getting to the

Personally, like the boxing game,
and like to. watch two evenly matched
and well.trained boxers exchange COM
p1iments. Boxing, tho, can only be toll
Grated where it is with the full knowl-
edge and consent of the authorities.
When lit comes to sneak fights, with the
attendant features of lily matched, UNI
trained men struggling for a few dol
lars, the game becomes worthless.
There is no fun in seeing two awkward
men bang each other into insensibility.
There is no amusement in seeing two
boys hammer each other half to death,
encouraged by the applause Of a com
pany Of distinguished pickpockets and
bar flies. There is not1an entertaining
feature to the boxing game unless the
bout 1is before a club doing business

with King Barleycorn was anything
but lovable. What made him popular
was that, with the instinct which Jack
London has ravished the dictionary to,

always ready to battle with anyone.
The man with backing always looked
like home cooking to John. He took
him up and when the battle was over
the opponent generally looked like the

The modern fighter is just the oppos
