great player out of him by reason OF
the bitter experience derived from the
harsh criticism heaped upon him, and
1t is not sufficient to justify termina-
tion of his career since he has proved
himself to be valuable man in all de-
partments of the game at all other
times than that particular day.
One of the disastrous effects of the
anti-racing legislation in New York
will be keeniy felt next year by the
farmers in that state when the Jockey
club recalls all the stations, forty in
number, that were donated by horse
men to the breeding bureau. 1t is
announced that the breeding bureau
will go out of business, and the stall
lions will be returned to the horse
men who donated them. The farmers
will have to pungle up their 800 and
$500 a throw when they want to breed
their mares to the thoroughbred stock
of proved class and racing ability in
future.
I. L. Wheatcroft, the millionaire
Canadian sportsman and proprietor OF
the ST. James stable that Is to be
raced at Santa Anita during the win
ter, has purchased Miss Sain for $4,000
and will ship this good racer to Santa
Anita at once. She was about the
best In her class around the Canadian
and Kentucky tracks during the sum-
mer and fall meetings.
Tom Mcdowell, who entertained the
idea of shipping his horses to Santa
Anita for the winter racing season, has
shipped the entire string to his home,
Ashland farm, and all will be turned
out for the winter. The expense and
possible loss in shipping so great a
distance caused him to change his
plans
Secretary Randle says that the stake
books will not be issued until a few
days previous to Thanksgiving day.
Handicapper Smith is not expected
to arrive until a few days before the
opening date, and the books will not
be issued until he arrives, as he has
charge Of that portion of the work
Ed Peters will not be among those
present at either coast track during
the winter. He will take the Rainey
horses, including Horace E., DeMund
and Stargowan, to the Rainey farm
in northern Mississippi for the winter,
and will remain with them throughout
the cold period. He has great faith
in developing Horace e. into sure
enough $25,000 horse, and says that
DeMund, the $4,000 beauty frost, u
should develop into oracker1ack long
distance racer next year.
Owing to the fact that Hen Berry
has been called to Fresno on business
he has requested that the match series
at three-cushion billiards be postponed
until Tuesday night, when the first
game of so points will be played al
Jeffries & Kippers' place. 1t originally
was planned to pull off the first game
Monday night, but, fearing that Hen
might run out on the match If his
request was refused, Kip and myself
readily agreed to the pontponement.

UTAH WINS OUT IN
SENSATIONAL GAME
conviIle Makes Place Kick from So
Yard Line-Colorado Took Big
Lead, but Gould Not
Hold II

SALT LAKE CITY, Nov. 14.-Utah
university's light football eleven over
whelmed the University of Colorado
eleven this afternoon in a game re-
markable for its sensational plays, In
Guiding a place kick from the 5S-yard
line by Captain Conville of Utahs
At the end of the first half 1t looked
as though Colorado would win easily,
as two place kicks from the 80 and
4S-yard lines respectively, by Sterrett,
had marked up eight points for Colo
rado university, while Utah had failed
to score.
In the second half, however, Utah
played the visitors off their feet, max
ing a touchdown five minutes after
plav was started, and following it soon
after with another Colorado. in the
meantime, had scored a touchdown on
a long forward pass and two hard line
bucks, but Utah clinched the game
with the same play. Conville's 53-yard
place kick followed. Both sides used
the forward pass frequently.

KEENE SHIPS MORE
HORSES TO ENGLAND
Americas Premier Turfman Sends
Another Batch of YearIines Abroad
to Be Raced for Him
Next Year

NEW YORK, Nov. 14.-Comfortably
stabbed on the steamship Minnehaha,
string of James r. Keene's race horses
begun their journey to England today
The horses were brought from Sleeps
head Bay last night and, after some
trouble with the yearlings, were placed
safely on board.
Horsemen who saw the outfit pro-
nounced the youngsters one of the best
lots that Keene ever has had on hand.
The shipment abroad was decided upon
by Keene some time ago, and the
size of the string indicated, it is
thought, that owners see an unfavorable
racing season ahead in this state be-
cause of the anti-betting law.

ling and racing tournaments. The
boxing affairs already are being ar
ranged by Professor De Witt c. Van
Court. The first boxing fest is expected
to be held New Years eve in connec-
ton with a smoker at the club gmy-
nasium. If L. L. Burke of the
country village ever RECEIVERS from the
surprise which the club baseball team
meted out to him a week ago it Is pos
sible that he may have the courage
to bring on his heavyweight and offer
said heavyweight the opportunity to
make a name for himself by being
knocked out, cold, stiff and fiat, by as
good man as our own Cliff Reuman.
In former days, when Rome was undis-
putedly as big a place as Norwalk is
today, the worthy Roman would have
considered 1t an honor to die at the
hands of such a man as Cliff. Should
the mayor read the above uppercut
Cliff already has won the fight.
BY the way, where is that fat Nor
walk man since the ball game? Really,
now. has he forgotten the most impor-
agreement of the game, which was to
the effect that the losers were to give
the banquet?
When Baron Long, former member
of Fort Wayne's four hundred, gets to
feeling "l1ittenish'' and desires a sam
pie of the food that mother u-ed to
cook" he "nosies'' around to the club
and they sure do have 1T there.

Silver Wedding at Albion.

The home of Mr. and Mrs. F. B. Law
ton has always been one OF generous
popularity, both as 20 the entertainment
Of relatives and friends and neighbor
hood gatherings.
Saturday evening, October Oath, about

no lack of cheer within the home.
Among the guests were two other

sary. Mr.. and Mrs. S. r. Potter, parents
of Mrs, Lawton, looked back over fifty
eight years of happy married life, and
Mr. and Mrs. Moses Crosley over thirty
six years. There were also present the
son of the home and his bride of few

which helped to make the occasion
pleasant and interesting A bountlful
and delicious supper was served and Mr.

ing the guests bade them god night,

John Adams Dies In California.

John Adams, former state senator in
Wisconsin and once sheriff of Dane
county, died at his home in Pasadena,
California, on the 18th inst, at the age
OF 10 years. For long years he was q
well known resident of Dane county. Hs
was born in Pulaski county, KY, in 1919,
therefore nearly so years old. At Is
years of age he moved, with half
brother, up into Indiana; then, in 1887,
to Wlnnebago county, Illinois; then to
Dodgeville. Wisconsin. This was in 1889.
There he lived till 1849, when he went to
Blue Mounds, to what became known as
rockville. At that point he engaged in
business; and George w. Stoner recalls
that ne himself dug out of the hills the
lead ore which he sold to Mr.. Adams.
That was in 1858. In 1868 Mr.. Adams
moved to Black Earth, and from there,
che same year, he was chosen sheriff,
and later, in 1882, senator. He was
strong Democrat. Many years ago he
moved to California. One son, Alva
Adams, is an ex-governor OF Colorado,
another son, William, is now state sena-
tor IN that state and third son. Frank,
is president of the Colorado Ice and
Storage company of Denver John
Adams a ranchman, and Miss Elizabeth
Adams, who has lived with her parents,
are the other children who survive, to-
gether with widow.
The funeral was held in Pasadena
Tuesday. Former Governor Adams left
Colorado a month ago to be with his
father.
The story of the Adamses of Colorado
is an interesting one. 1t was the illness
of one of the brothers that first drew
them there. When Alva first came there
he assisted in the building of railroad.
Then he obtained position in hard
ware store and later was in the same
business at Colorado City and at Ala
mosa. He quickly became prominent in
politics and was member of the first
legislature of that state and delegate
to the demobratic national convention
in Cincinnati in 1880. Since then he has
been five times the candidate of his
party for governor and has been three
times elected, although thrown out by
republican legislature while serving his
third term. He lives at Pueblo where
be is president of bank and connected
with many enterprises and reputed
worth his million.

Obituary.
MAUD SPIKE.

Izora Maud Spike, youngest daughter
of Joseph D. and Ann d. Spike OF Ed
gerton, was born in Stebbinsville June
IS, 1888. She was educated in the Steb-
binsville school and afterwards studied
music in ST. Joseph's convent, GAINESVILLE.
Wis.
About ten weeks ago while on visit
at the home of friend she was taken
suddenly ill. After she was taken home
physician was summoned, and soon
skilled nurse was at her bedside day and
night. All that loving hands could do
was done to restore her to health, but
the dreaded disease quickly wasted away
her life and on Sunday, Oct. Doth, at IL
o'clock, she answered the call of the
Master and went to her heavenly home.
Maud, as she was called by her init
mate friends, was dearly beloved by all
who knew her. She had sweet, child
like and truthful disposition. During
her illness she was very patient and
thoughtful for the comfort of those who
so diligently watched by her bedside.
She also became earnestly interested in
the needs of her soul-she became
praying girl. 1t was not necessary to
ask her if she had accepted Christ as
her saviour. She gave the best evidence
that could be given. She urged her sis
ter to teach her little nephew to pray.
She prayed for her relatives, for the doc
tor who attended her, and her nurse. To
pray for ones self is indeed commenda-
BILE, to pray for others is evidence OF
christian spirit She leaves three broth
ers, Charles, Isaac and Clayton of Ed
gerton, sister, Mrs. Ernest Hyland of
Lacrosse, Wis, father and mother and
many friends to mourn her departure.
The funeral services were held in the
Methodist Episcopal church Tuesday at
2 o. No., Rev. c.. Kenneth MacInnis Of
floating. Interment was made in Fas-
ssett cemetery.
