SENATOR A. BEvERIDGE.

at the Commercial club in Indianapolis
about two weeks ago. Attorney Wick
ey of this city was guest at this ban
quet and has apprised THE TIMES of
the senator's utterances.
Mr.. Beveridge spoke on the topic of
the connecting of lakes Erie and Mich
igan by a deep waterway, running over
the states of Indiana and Ohio. Mr..
Beveridge was SO thoroughly enthused
with the idea" declares Mr.. Mickey,
THAT he proposed as the western term
mus of the waterway, the city of East
Chicago, or Indiana Harbor."
influential Men at Banquet.
With a governmental harbor in this
city, a waterway extending far
south as the Calumet river, and a deep
waterway across the two states. in
which huge vessels could ply their
trade, this locality would soon become
one of the greatest industrial centers in
America. 1t would enable the inter
ucts and would eliminate the two days
voyage necessitated by the present
Lake Hour trip of vessels.
At the Indianapolis banquet were
some of the most influential members
of the National Rivers and Harbors
congress. These men, always alert tc
such topics as that introduced into the
Commercial club session by Senator
Beveridge, will doubtless give it more
serious consideration than in the past
Plans OF the proposed waterway are al
ready under preparation and will b.
distributed freely among the great mer
of the country, thus bringing to theil
attention the wonderful possibilities o
this Calumet region.

DONOVAN NAY
HEAD BOSTON

New York, Dec. 2.-Pasty Donovan,
former manager of the Dodgers, will in
all probability be appointed manager
of the Boston club next year to sue
coed Joe Kelly, who has been asked to
resign by President Dewey. Dewey sent
for Donovan few days ago, and the
pair had a long talk at the clubs head
quarters on Friday. When Donovan
was asked after he left tn coffee, if
he had been offered the job as manager
of the Beaneaters, he said:
NO, my call on President Dewey was
only a friendly one"
AS Donovan is one of those men who
never are in the habit of paying a
visit to any club headquarters it is
more than likely that Dewey made him
some kind of an offer to handle the
club the coming season.

RING FLOODED WITH BAD COIN.
Spurious So Gold Pieces Passed Upon
the BooIkmakers Mt Santa Anita.

Los Angeles, Dec. 2-Secret service
officers were busy at Santa Anita yes
terday as the flood of counterfeit IS
gold pieces made their appearance in
the ring. It is estimated that fully 500
of the spurious coins were passed
upon bookmakers during the rush of
betting. The work was systematic and
was done at one time, so that the
bookies would not get next" to the
game.
AS soon as it was found that the
coins. which were good limitations.
were in general circulation a call was
hurriedly sent to headquarters. The
track is outside of the city limits, but
federal officers were sent to the scene.
Bookmaker Mark Elias detected the
first coin and quietly informed the Of
ficials that they seemed abundant.
Use of gold coin instead of bills is
so prevalent on the coast that coins
which might have been scrutinized
more closely elsewhere passed here
without notice.

CoULAN IN A HEAVIER CLASS.
Bantam Champion is Now Negotiating
for Bouts at lis Pounds.

Johnny Coulon has definitely entered
the 115-pound class. Finding that it
is difficult to obtain matches around
the 10S-pound mark, which he now
scales, he is now negotiating with sew
eral promoters who have offered bouts
to him at the higher figure. His last
offer was a proposition from the New
Orleans Athletic club to meet Johnny
Murphy in a ten-round bout.
Billy Corcoran, a Pittsburg promo
ter, also offered him a bout, naming
Pasty Brannigan as his opponent. Cor
coran wants him for a siX-round go,
but no terms were greed on and
Coulon is not enthusiastic over the
size Of the purses hung up in the east.

CBY BATHING NELsoNl

CLfghtweight Champion of WORLDLY
Louis Deleski, of Hegewisch has all
the earmarks of conner as was shown
in his workout yesterday afternoon in
the city hall at Burnham where he
went through forty-five minutes of the
severest kind of training, jumping rope,
swinging Indian clubs, dumb bells,
wrestling and boxed four rounds with
his sparring partners, Mike Dubish and
Pasty O'Houlihan All the people
around Hegewisch have been boosting
Louie Deliske as my successor to the
lightweight championship of the world,
therefore l paid visit to his training
quarters to satisfy myself as to his
ability as a fighter.
He Works With Vim.
| didn't see him work over ten min
utes before forming a very good i'm
preston as he worked with a vim and
dash that all good aspiring young box
ers should do. He is not the cleverest
fellow in the world but in my exper-
fence L have boxed with numerous fight
ers-yes. and l dare say that this boy
Deleski could have beaten several of
them and that without effort Deleski
is a quite, unassuming little chap and
possessed of very good habits, neither
chewing, smoking or drinking, and he
lis anything but a rowdy. He goes
about the streets attending to his own
business, jumps into the gymnasium
and finishes his work, takes his rub
down, all in a business-like manner.
l have taken quite personal interest
in our new Hegewisch champion and
lexpect to be at the ringside tomorrow
night at West Hammond and coach
him on TO victory against Billy Sulli-
van and will be there with the roll to
winner.
Fight VIII BE Corker.
One thing the fight fans can rest as
sured of, is that this fight will GER
family be a corker regardless of the
Outcome, and if Sullivan is mar
! capable of stopping Deleski's climb tc
the top, he is a man who will have tc
class of Hghtweights.
The Hegewisch delegation will be al
