from the Dane that he is not enter

the biggest part of the game follow

close to being the best 133-pound
man in the world in finish fight.
One day Mcfarland says he VII
not enter the ring with the Dane for
fight longer than 25 rounds. And
only the other day read his man
ager said that If Mac could't whip
the Battler in that length of time
he was willing to pass up the job.

the sttockyards lad would get the de

In a long fight Nelson ought t.

fight with Leach Cross that h
knows something himself about thu
aggressive system of fighting, bu
while he might not go along SOM

Battler would beat him down In tn
finish.
It doesn't hurt the game to hav

POLITICS HURT
RING BATTLES
POLITICIAN NOT CONTENT WITH
LOOKING ON BUT MUST TRY
TO SECURE INTEREST IN CLUB
WHERE BOUTS ARE PULLED,

Chicago, Nov. 13.Political jealou-
sy and the interference of the pro-
fessional politician have done more
to cripple ring sports in America
than all the knockouts and reform
combined.
In every big fight center, where
the game flour!shes any length of
time. you will find the professional
politician working his way in much
after the manner that the worm
that bores into the hardest wood.
OF course, friction crops out as in
other lines, and the first thing you
know one political faction is after
the reformer, urging him to in err
fcre With the sport.
From time to time the fight game
has been fiourishing in New York.
Bouts were being pulled off at the
rate of several a week. and some OF
the contests, while only of six roonds
duration, attracted national atten-
ton. The politician was allowed to
look on at the bat les free. He waa
gwen the best seat in the house. He
was allowed to go good deal far
ther than the man who paid his way
at The door.
For time the POLITICAL was con-
tented to look on. Then he became
nervous when he saw the popularity
of tie contsts increasing. Surely he
was missing a good thing.
Instead of going about the matter
in the right way and starting a club
of his own, or in conjunction with
someone else, he tried to use his po-
litical pull to get control Of the or
CARNATIONS which had built up repu-
tations for fairness and cleanliness
The politician used new method
of reaching the goal Of his ambition
He brought the power of the build
ing department into play, and was
about to succeed, when Commission
er Bingham issued an order supres
sing all bouts.
! And one more city is closed to thu
game.
Fighting is one sport that canno
| flourish in the hands of politicians
ut has to be conducted on fai
asis.

Vallejo Cal, December 5.-Thou-

launching of the giant collier Prone
thus at the Mare Island navy yard. A
great celebration marked the event,
which was memorable one for Mare
Island, since the record made in the
construction of this $1,5O0,O00 vessel
surpasses that of all other yards. The
gigantic collier was christened by the
little daughter of Naval Constructor
Evans, under whose direction the col
lier was built.
The Promethus is one of the largest
auxiliary naval vessels ever built in
this country. Her dimensions are as
