Robson was minded to take the
offensive.
"You have a great deal of fault to
find with Republicans he said to
Badgerby, but why don't you exercise
your Wit upon the present situation and
prospects of the Democratic party?"
That" said Badgerby, us far from
being laughing matter"
Yet you call yourself a Democrat
He would, you mean.' said Kleet, IF
Mr. Bryan would let him.
''Oh. but I am a Democrat rejoined
Badgerby, willy nilly. l take great
comfort in Democratic principles.
Without that, I should not have been
able to endure voting the Republican
ticket so often Of late years"
Well If that is So asked Robson,
why don't you bring your precious
principles over with you and call your
self a Republican,"
"Ah." said Kleet, this time it is Mr.
Roosevelt who won't let him"
The trouble In my case" Badgerby
went on, is not so much principles as
personalities The Democrats are so
given 20 thrusting impossible eandi-
dates upon one

SULLIVAN VS.. BURNS.
Bout Is LIKELY Between Soldier and
Washington Man.
Special to Tie Washington Herald.


Baltimore, Jan. 12.-After a long line of
talk. it now seems probable that Soldier
Burns. the clever local lightweight. will
meet Kid Sullivan, of Washington, in the
next ffteen-round star battle of the
Eureka Athletic Club.
Sammy Harris, who is acting as man
ager OF Burns. yesterday said that he
and Burns would he willing to agree to
almost any conditions to get Sullivan
into the ring. Harris said that the con
ditions recently announced by Manager
Herford, calling for the men TO split the
purse % per cent to the winner and 25
per cent to the loser. the weight TO be
l33 pounds at Tingside, were satisfactory.
These conditions just suit Burns. accord
ing 10 Harris, for the Soldier. at l8
pounds, IS so confident that he can beat
Sullivan that he would have consented
20 the winner to take all Of the purse.
The local boxing fans have been anxious
TO see Sullivan in action with Burns, and
il is expected that articles will be drawn
up in a day or two for the match.
Burns has been ciamoring for match
with Sullivan for months. He claims
that no other boxer in this city is more
entitled 10 a bout with Sullivan than he,
mainly because he has beaten all of the
local boxers and many good out-of-town
pugiists. Burns Is now at his best, and
his friends have confidence in him to
turn the trick on Sullivan.

FEW JOCKEYS HEED ADVICE.
Majority Of Riders Are Led Astray
While on Winning Mounts.

New York. Jan. 12.-When a jockey Is
at the height Of his career and making
money rapidly it is easy for those that
are not used to the many pitfalls Of the
turf to admire and predict the greatest
of futures for him. However. does 1t
occur to those same people how many
Of these lads are led astray. so that
when the Limitation Of their greatness Is
reached. a large percentage Of them are
broke or nearly so? For instance, the
careers Of the late Patsy McCue and
that Of Grover Cleveland Fuller are shin
ing examples.
However, there are others that beneilt
by the faults Of such lads. and one Of
them is none other than George Odom
the Georgia lad This boy often rode
against Fuller and McCue, and as often
was In their company, but be saw the
errors Of their ways and took the other
path He always earned big money
especially when he rode for the late
Capt. S. s. Brown. and he knew enough
to invest il.
Like all other jockeys. Odom became
heavy, and had TO quit the saddle. When
/ he did he simply used some Of the CAPT

( fair platers. One of these was the colt
! Oraculum. Odcm took to training nat

was not long before Oraculum was re-

Birmingham. Ala. Jan. 12-The Univer-
sity of Alabama has adopted a resolution
ccndemning the custom of alumni paying

mission being age, advancement IN

allegation could not be proved the alumni

MARQUETTE AFTER GROUNDS
Amateur League Has Three Sites
Under Consideration.
Prospects for Approaching Season
Application for Membership.

The question of playing grounds is a
matter of much concern with the officials
of the Marquette League just at present.
The league can obtain the use of its old
grounds at Thirty-sixth and W streets
northwest again this year. but there was
considerable dissatisfaction expressed by
some OF the players on teams in distant
sections of the city about the great dis
tance it was necessary TO travel and the
consequent late hour at which the games
were started.
The representatives of the teams met
yesterday evening at the home Of Capt.
Edwards, president Of the league. 1917
First street northwest, and discussed the
outlook for the approaching season. The
ground situation was thoroughly gone
over. and a committee. consisting Of Capt.
Edwards and Messrs. Dove and Langley.
was appointed to take up the question.
The league has three sites. not Including
the Georgetown diamond, under consider
alton, namely the old Marquette grounds
at Second street and Florida avenue
northwest, the plot at Sixteenth and L
streets northwest and the old American
| League grounds at Thirteenth street and
Florida avenue northeast.
Applications for admission 10 the league
have been received from St Ann
Church. in TennalIytown. and St Joseph S
Church, AT Second ara c streets north
east. the latter church having been a
member Of the league a part Of last sea

The prospects for the league this year
are brighter than they have ever been
since the inception of the organization.
and it is expected that every team in the
league last. year Will return. with the
possible exception Of St Vincents. In
any event, il is likely that the league
will not contain any more or any less
than six clubs, as most Of the te-,ms are
