No councillors give him advice;

Or harsh and cruel laws,
But by the magic of his love,

An audience to obtain;
But this is not the way with him.

Such is his code of laws,

And then he comes when they're asleep,
But in dreams they hear him say
God bless you all, my subjects dear"
And quick he steals away;
But not before he left for each
Some little gift, because
He wants them when they wake to know
How good is Santa Claus
Oh. children of this grand old king,
He wishes you to know
That since his means are somewhat scant,
To all he cannot 60

EAST-WEST LIGHTWEIGHT
FRACAS is OFF AGAIN

two SimOn-pure fighters, this is it.
Papke is one OF the original trading
kids, and Ketchell peddles punches
for what they are worth, so that when
the pair meet the battle is sure to be
slamfest from the start to finish.
Papke outweighs Ketchell by Is
pounds, but the Montana lad has
given away weight before and come
home with flying colors, so thar this
is nothing new.
Battling Nelson starts in the fight
ing game here again Monday night at
Salt Lake City. He meets Jack Cliff
ford. This Clifford gentleman isn't
well known, but he has a slam that
makes old Fitz look like Taper.
He broke Rufe Turner's jaw in his
last go, and "Ruf" was tough one
at that. He knocked out our great Willie
Lewis In two rounds one time. Cliff
ford also knocked out Bob Lundy in
the preliminary TO the Gans-Nelson
fight at Goldfield. Lundy was at that
time Nelson's sparring partner.
III Bat gets away with this fellow
he's surely there.
Dispatches from Salt Lake say that
Nelson has accepted the date OF Jan.

The eyes OF the Southern Michigan
league rooters are now glued on Te-
cumseh. Just what the denizens or
the big little" town are up TO in n
baseball way, is puzzlins everybody on
the outside. In the meantime, Mayor
Heesen and his associates are saving
nothing but, In all probability, are
decorating much cellulolse.
Last year nobody knew until the
season opening much Of anything
about the Tecumseh lineup. But the
team that had been quietly gathered
from all four points of the compass
came across with an all-star lineup,
and led the others through the race
to a championship finish.
Tecumseh sold Merkle TO New York
and suffered the loss OF Teal and Rail-
ing, it's star pitchers, by draft. In i'd
dition, Outfelders Hildinger and Pres
ton were gobbled by clubs higher up
In the scale. IL will take some tail
hustling to land men able to fill the
places of the stars who are gone. but
that is right where the Tecumseh
bunch lives. Also. IL Is rumored that
Preston and Teal may be returned.
In some way IL has become nolsed
about the state circuit that Manager
30 Slear, who was in charge OF .he
champion team of last year, will not
be with the Tecumseh crowd next
year. but will be manager at Jack
son. Rumor goes further and says
that Slear is already signing up team
for the prison town, though, II this il
true, there must already be an excel
lent understanding between the Te-
cumseh \owners and the new Jackson
interests.
No Jackson contracts have been pro
mulgated as yet. and the, home owners
have been devoting their efforts to the

SCOUT MURPHY
LOOKS US OVER

Judge Joseph A. Murphy. personal
Representative OF Louis A. Celia. OF
ST. Louis, the owner OF the Crosse
Pointe race track. Is in Detroit and
has been very busy all day. on mis-
sion, the real purport OF which he de-
clfned to state.
From other sources IL was learned
that Mr.. Murphy's position Is that OF
Z scout, however. 1t Is an open secret
that the ST. Louis promoters who now
control the Western Jockey club. have
long desired to use their Detroit prop
|trty for racing purposes-a project
which readily appeals to them in the
fact that they control not only the
e0verning organization and the race
track, hut also own the horses which
would be drawn on to flll the events
and the books In which the public
would be conceded the privilege of
wagering Its money.
That Judge Murphy's mission In De-
frOit Is doomed to result in report
of failure is generally believed to be
certain.
The Crosse Pointe track is now In
the city limits and the police depart
ment has taken high stand IN refus-
Ing permission for sports generally
considered more legitimate than the
Celia brand Of racing which has been
barred by 30 many other cities of the
middle west.

not bring news OF the filing OF con-
tract or two. The importation of new
blood is welcomed by the Flint root
ers, who realize that added strength
will certainly be needed. but conserva-

not cut loose too much OF the 1907
talent without a comparative trial.
