The Thirty-thifd Annual Fire
mems Ball given in Fountains
hall last evening followed the
precedent of all the balls given
by the Firemen in that it was a
complete success in every de-
tail. About fifty couples en-
joyed the evening. The hall
looked very artistic in decora-
tions of red, white and blue.
Streamers of paper hung from
the corners to the center made
the ceiling effect. The stage
was very prettily decorated in
the three colors in a panel eff
feet. The grand march led by
Mr.. Ed Bradley and Mrs. j. c..
Mahoney of Council Bluffs,
started at $50, during which
programmes were given out.
Excellent music was furnished

led by w. Burbank. A pro-
gramme of twenty-six numbers
was danced. The floor, crowd
and music all were splendid
and all present enjoyed them
selves to the uttermost.

BILLY PAPKE WANTS TO
BE MIDDLEWEIGHT CHAMP
ILLINOIS 15o-PouNDER LOOKS
LIKE A SURE CONFER
Technically La Sale Lad Has as Much
Right to Claim the Title as
Sullivan, Kelly or
ketchel

Billy Papke, the Illinois 150-pounder,
who has made some of the best men OF
his weight in the middle west bite the
dust, wants to be middle weight cham
pion of the world, and he is going along
with that end in view. Papke, who is
managed by Tom Jones of La Sale, ILL.,,
is growing, and thinks he will bo a full
fledged middle weight by next year.
He has been meeting men heavier than
himself and has yet to taste the bitter
ness of defeat. Papke plans to meet all
the best 158-pounders around this part
of the country and then go after the
real top notchers for the title. He has
as much right to claim it as anyone
else. although Jack Sullivan, Hugo
Kelly, Joe Thomas and Young Ketchel
all have a claim to it. Bob Fitzsim-
mons was never defeated for the title
and really holds it, but as Bob has re-
tired from the ring why, someone must
take his place. A series of battles De-
tween the best middle weights will
prove very interesting. If Champion
Faker Jack O'Brien succeeds in getting
back into the good graces of the pub
lie, now that he wants to reform, why,
he may be included in the list for the
title.

HARVARD PLANNING
SEASON OF. SPORTS
BASKETBALL LATEST VENTURE
OF CADETS
Football Team Has Fared Well This
Season, but Hardest Game Is
Still to Be
Played

Harvard school Is planning miscella-
neous program of sports for the rest OF
the year, and the cadets who have ath-
letic tendencies in any line will find a
large and varied list from which to chose
Basketball, football, tennis and baseball
will compose the schedule at the military
training quarters. The soldiers claim that
their strong hold will be in the basket
game. The toss sport was introduced to
Harvard for the first time this year, but
Coach Snyder is rapidly forming a fast
aggregation from the raw material with
which he started at the beginning Of the
season. None of the recruits has ever
played before, but they are rapidly be-
coming proficient under Snyder's training.
Forward Stoll is showing up as one of
the best among the cadet tossers and his
spirit and enthusiasm Is one of the means
of keeping up the interest among the
players.
Fowler is also an all around man with
basketball and plays equally good at
most any position. One of the drawbacks
to Harvard's success is the fact that 1t
entered upon the season too late to sign
articles in the state basketball league,
and on account of this it is hard for the
soldiers to fill their date book. Througn
the efforts of Coach Snyder, however, sew
eral dates have been secured. Harvard
will play the U. s. G. law school Novem-
ber Is, state normal November % and
Whittier on November %. This ircom-
rlete schedule leaves November % still
open on the military engagement card.
Teams Record Good
The football team is light, but has made
good record during the season, and the
boys have won every game they have
played. Brown, Heath and Thorpe are the
stars of the eleven and Brown Is known
as one of the best academic athletes in
the south The team has full schedule
up to Thanksgiving. Harvard meets Bel
mont at Stanford next Saturday, and this
game is expected to be the hardest OF the
season.
Harvard has two of the finest tennis
| courts in this part of the state and a
great deal of time and attention is given
| to the sport by the students. Cawston
and Nebeker have represented the acad-
| emy in a number of important tourna-
ments and are rated as the best players In
| the school,.
Harvard expects to fill its basepall
schedule with games with all of the local
high schools and academies and several
cut of town trips are being planned for the
nine when the season opens in the spring

In the review of the rules of golf which

Golf association prior to sending the re-
constructed code embodying American
suggestions for changes to the st. An
drews club. there is a very pronounced
feeling that there should be a distinct
of the fact that there are two
separate games OF golf for which pro-
vision should be made. Medal play and
match play are widely different. Match
play embodies the essence of golf, the con-
test of individual against individual For
it there is necessity for comparatively
few rules. 1t is customary in the contest
between individuals for continual walv-
ing of the strict letter of the rules in i'm
matters. and in the social game,
which is the great solid game of golf in
the final analysis, since 1t is the business

In medal play an entirely different con-
dition exists. There one is playing against

CHARLEY ELLISON TRYING
TO BEAT HIS H00D00
Is DISCOURAGED AT FAILURE OF
HIS TWo-YEAR-oLDs
Paid Fancy Sums for Juvenile Horse
flesh That Never Delivered
the Goods, but Keeps
It Up

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Nov. 3.-Not dis
couraged at the failure of his 2-year-olds
to win races Charles r. Ellison, whose
stable of thoroughbreds has returned tC
the winter quarters here to rest prior
to the opening of the winter season al
New Orleans, has again invested In Juve-
nile horse flesh, paying, in some In
stances, fancy prices for fashionable
stock, with which he hopes to break the
hoodoo that has followed him ever since
he departed from his custom of paying
moderate prices for yearlings. At the
local barn Trainer Brazier is breaking
a sister to the great Salvidere, sister
to Yankee Consul and Miss 1nez, and
few others, that may develop into
brilliant racing tools during the 1908 turf
season east.
Ellison hasn't won Juvenile race with
g. 2-year-old purchased at annual year.
ling sales in the past two seasons. Dur
ing that time he paid nearly $1,000 for
Yankee Girl, the biggest breadwinner III
his stable this year. But Yankee Cir
went through her 2-year-old career as a
maiden. She won her first race early
last spring in New Orleans, added the
City Park derby in the Crescent city
shortly afterward and has since won
herself out.
Last wear Ellison paid in the nelghpor-
hood of $4,000 for Sir Navarro, brother
in blood to Salvidere. Attempt was maze
during the gubernatorial campaign to
name the colt after Governor Hughes o1
New York state, but, in Difference TO tne
wishes of that individual and respecting
the roundabout request made by the
Jockey club officials, another name was
chosen and Sir Navarro was, accordlns
TO Ellison, hoodooed on the spot, as ne
has never won a race, and will be saved
for his 3-year-old engagements IN hopes
of duplicating turf history that followed
Yankee Girl.
ellison has not paid over 5000 ror a
vearling this year. He has returned to
his system of purchasing cheaper young
sters. and hopes to get results that fol-
lowed his method when he purchased
Yankee Consul, which he sold for $2OVOVi
Judee Hines, which won the Kentucky
derby and Hawthorne handicap; Lazy
Navarro. which won the Tennessee DERBY
and ran second in other western derples'
and others. 4,, hos

order to please Owner Ellison an extra
horse has been added to avoid the pos

stable will be rested for the New Orleans
opening.
