army maneuvers and tactics will be
practiced while the 800 infantrymeu

Measure Allowing D. & w.
Use of Main Street Has
Not Been Signed.
HIS LIMIT HAS EXPIRED,
PROBABLE THAT MEASURE WILL
NOW BE PASSED OVER THE
HEAD OF THE cITVs ExEcu.
TIVE.

The ten days allowed by law for the
mayor of city to veto or sign an or
dinance has passed. Mayor Schillin-
ger has not signed the ordinance set
ting aside the ordinance prohibiting
the operation of interurban freight
cars on Main street. which was pass
ed at the last meeting of council.
This action constitutes a veto and

evening. 1t is expected council will
pass the ordinance without the sigma
ture of the mayor, who believes 1t i'll
advised.
The mayor does not hold the ordin-
ance to be a wise move on the part
of the city. 1t will permit the Dayton

crate it's freight cars without any
franchise of any kind. At present
the Dayton & Western company's pas.
senger cars are being operated as city
cars under the control of the Terre

If council sustains the ordinance
the gates of the city will be torn

the end of this time the traction
squabble will have been settled amio
ably.

SPORTS
AT THE RING-SIDE.
BY Knox Blockoff.

New York. Dec. lS-With the Nc
Farland-Welsh battle declared off,
there does not appear to be any like
lihood of an early decision of the
merits of the lightweights who are
contesting for the title now held by
Matthew Battling Nelson.
1t may be that Nelson will consent
to meet Packey Mcfarland. but the
Dane has said that Welsh is the log
ical candidate for him. and that when
he gets ready he will take him on.
However. the Dane does not seem
to be overheated in arranging match
es these days. as he is gathering the
coin i'll other ways, and will rest up.
Most sporting authorities agree
that there are only four men now
seriously to be considered as aspir-
ants for the Danes lightweight
mantle. These men, in the order of
their ability are; Jack Black burn,
George Memsic. Packey Mcfarland
and Freddie Welsh. There is only
one way to determine which of the
four is entitled to a bout with Nelson
have further elimination tourney
and let the Battler go up against the
best of the four.

right for Il battle with the champion.

weigh in at 1913 pounds and go six
rounds. He has met Cans number

ing beaten the Philadelphia in

claimed such was the fact. and it has
always been a mooted point whether
this mill, which brought in about
$65,000 or $4,000, was as success
full financially as the battle between
Jim Jeffries and Tom Sharkey at
ConeY Island. when the total receipts
were over S66.0OO. Sullivan saws
he is not positive. as he did not see
