MARRIED ON So SALARY.
New York Judges Views Disagree
With Those Of Roosevelt.

NEW YORK December 17.--That a man
earning only 81 a week is not compelled
to support his wife was a decision which
Judge Foster of the court of general ses
sions gave yesterday The decision was
given In a case where woman demanded
So week from the So which her husband
earned.
About a year ago Lesser Glassberg was
married. He earned only Sc a week. His
wife, Annie, found that she could not
live on his salary and they separated
about two months ago She asked him
for 81 week. which he refused, and
then she took the matter to Assistant
Corporation Counsel Stiefel who brought
the matter to the courts, asking that the
man be compelled to give his wife 81
week.
In deciding the case Judge Foster said:
Now. If a woman chooses to embark in
matrimony with man whose earning ca
pasity Is only Sc she must take her
chances OF getting her support. This
cushing into matrmony may appeal to
the President of the United States, but
1t does not to any one who weighs the
evidence and acts judicially to determine
whether or not such a thing is reason
able, right or proper.
1.-The Society for the improvement of
the Condition of the Poor has recently
made a careful investigation and study
into the causes of the misery in most
congested districts. and 1t reports that
the most fruitful cause Of misery Is the
very large families which poor persons
are having. The present trend Of the age

JOE KELLEY RELEASED.
President Of Boston Club Gives No.

BOSTON, December 17.-Manager Joe
Kelley was released outright yesterday
by President Dewey. He sent registered
letter to the manager in Baltimore as fol-
lows:
your contract with George B. Dovey
president Of the Boston National League
base ball club, is hereby terminated.
Your services will not be required further
during the years 19O8-0."
Kelley has decided to place the matter
of his contract with Boston In the hands
of an attorney with a view to beginning
legal proceedings.
started durin gthe latter part of last
season. 1t seems as though President
Dovey OF Boston desired to GUST Kelley
from the management of the club to make
way for Frank Bowerman, who is slated
for the management of the team next
season. Kelley attended the recent meet
ing of the National League in New York,
but he failed to patch up his difference
with Dovey.
Kelley could not be found last night and
consequently 1t could not be ascertained
Just what kind of a fight he would make
against the Boston club. Many believe
that Kelley will be the manager of the
Toronto club of the Eastern League next
season. as after Kelley's difference with
Owner Dewey was made known President
McCaffrey of the TOrontos. 1t was report
ed, was willing to give Kelley the same
salary as he received as manager of the
Boston club. Mccartney Is exceedingly
anxious to land Kelley, as Kelley won
the pennant with the Canadian team the
season before last and Is quite an Idol
among the base ball fans Of Toronto.

MICHIGAN TAKES
ON WESTERNERS

ANN ARBOR, Mich, December IL
There seems to be little doubt but that
Michigan will play foot ball with both
Chicago and Wisconsin next fall. While
no agreement has been made with Chi
cago up to the present time, one high In
athletic affairs here practically admitted
that such was the case.
1t is believed that negotiations have
been opened with University of Wisconsin.
Director of Athletics Charles Baird had
and it is believed that Mr.. Baird discussed
with them a Wisconsin Michigan foot ball
game.
This change of front by Michigan in
regard to playing conference colleges has
been brought about largely through the
gusted over what they claim has been
the policy of Michigan's athletics in the
past three years the alumni have hooded
the officers of the alumnus magazine with
hot letters. voicing their disapproval of
methods now in vogue at Michigan
school

broker, that Michigan has suffered ire
trievably since quitting the conference, In
the eyes of the general public. and as Tar
as l can see we can make no adequate
defense of our arrogant position. Chlca-
go alumni whom l meet daily are com
pletely Disguised with the athletic policy
now being pursued at Michigan and do
not feel like giving their local support
Another Michigan graduate has written
saying that he believes clear ana con-
else statement why Michigan Withdrew
from the conference should be made.
There seems to be decidedly large
amount OF talk on the part OF those VINO

A great deal of enthusiasm has been
aroused among the students of the uni
versity during the past week and as the
time for the big doings draws nearer, the
hilltop bunch are becoming more inter-
ested in the contests. AS no admission is
to be charged, and since the program Is a
crackerjack, there is no doubt but that
a crowd will be on hand which will tax
the capacity of Ryan gymnasium.

DECIDE CHAMPIONSHIP.
Interclass Title Is at
Stake

At 3 pm. tomorrow the Juniors and
Freshmen of Georgetown University will
meet at basket ball in Ryan gymnasium
for the purpose of deciding the interclass
championship. Each team has a victory
to it's credit, and if the work in the Pre-
vious games may be taken as an example
Of ability the battle should be hot one.
The lineup of the contending CUNTS
is the same as has been heretofore
Capt. E. Dilkes of the Juniors will be at
forward, assisted by Pallen, who starred
in last Sundays contest. McNulty will
do the center's stunt, with Mccain and
Carlin left to watch the basket. Miller
will probably take McCanns place in the
last half.
The Freshies announce that Cogan and
Lamey will play forwards, Sitterding and
Smith will have charge of the guards and
the pivotal place will be occupied by
Downey. This is a fast little bunch. and
as Capt Cogan says will fight to the last
ditch to win.
Neither of the two classes has won an
interclass championship this year, a fact
which has greatly increased the rivalry
between them. The game will start
promptly at the time annQunced, and
from then until the last gong is sounded
some hot and scrappy playing is ex-
pected.

DRISCOLL BESTS
GROVER HAYES

Driscoll Of Cardiff, Wales, got the best
of Grover Hayes Of Chicago in a six
round bout before the National Athletic
Club here last night. The Welshman
Showed great skill and speed, but he
found In Hayes a man who could send
back almost as good as he received. In
fact. Hayes had the best of the second
and third rounds.
1t was furious battle from the start
Neither man cared a rap about defense.
They were as willing to take a punch as
to deliver one. and it was smuggling all
the way. both landing almost at will
Hayes fought brilliantly but he was
weakening fast In the sixth round. In
this round Driscol drove him around the
ring with heavy swings and jabs. A big
crowd witnessed the contest.
The first round was a giye-and take af-
fair. both men landing frequently. The
Welshman got in the most blows land
ing heavily on the jaw several times.
Driscoll, Hayes had decidedly the better
of the second round. The Chicago boy
did not land so often, but his punches
had more steam behind them than Dris-
coils. Both men were damaged in the
heavy exchanges.
Driscoll rushed from his corner in the
third and set fearful pace. But Hayes
stood his ground and scored first blood
with swing to Drisco!rs nose. The
fight became veritable smuggling match.
both men seldom missing a blow. A hard
swing to the jaw shook Driscoll up near
the end of the round. Hayes now had
a good lead.
The fourth round ended with honors

Driscoll got square by making Hayes
nose bleed. The pace began to tell and
there was some clinching. They were

Heavy smuggling marked the fifth round.
1t was simply exchange after exchange of

CONNIE AFTER ROTH.
Mack Said to Be Dabbling for Mil
waukee Catcher.

MILWAUKEE,. Wis. December IL
Probably the most sought player in the
minor leagues today is Frank Roth. the
clever backstop. Since the club announced
that Roth would be traded II deal Of
advantage to the Milwaukee team could
be made no less than four major league
managers have made offers for the little
fellow. Joe Cantillon. always ready to
grab something good. IL said to have Of
fered Pitchers Oberlin and Wilson and
Catcher Mike Kahoe in exchange for
Roth. There is no chance for this deal
going through. as Kahoe Is a dead one.
while Oberlin's arm Is still out of whack
Connie Mack has also entered the race
for Roth. 1t is said. The former Milwau-
kee chief Is anxious to get a high-class
catcher and has offered Catcher Bert Blue
and another player for the Brewer.
Manager McCloskey has received a
number of offers for Roth" said President
Havenor yesterday, but will not make
any trade unless he gets value received.
Roth is anxious to better himself, and If
possible he will be given an opportunity
to 90 to the major leagues"

NEW YORK, December 17.-George T.
Sta,lings. manager of the New York
American League club. set out this morn
ing for his Georgia plantation. The big
chief will not return to this city until we'll
after the New Year, II. indeed then. The
Yankee boss is somewhat chagrined over
being unable to put through several deals
he has under his hat He will let matters
rest as they now stand till some of the
other moguls show more of disposition
to talk business. 1t is very unlikely that
New York will figure in the bargain coun-
ter way for several weeks at least.
Stallings is not quite satisfied with the
present lineup he has to present. He in
tends to sacrifice several of his disciples
in the interest Of harmony. Several heads
must fall to eliminate the discord which
marked last seasons ungallant fight. The
new Yankee manager knows what he
wants. but is unable to get it. AS he
says, there are plenty Of managers anx-
ious to pluck the goods he has to offer.

take Delehanty for the former manager
Of the Hilltops. He thinks very well of

Stallings is not worrying a great deal

sters did good work and would have
shown real class with the proper sort of
support. From the many recruits gath
cred one or two crack twirlers may be de-
veloped. Fred Glade will be in line for a
good year after seasons rest. and when
the big Brown star is himself none better
is to be desired. But at least one more
seasoned twirler is the aim of the manage
ment. The veteran Yankee pitchers are
even more questionable than formerly.
Around Charlie Hemphill an outfield will
have to be built. Frank Delehanty proved
a valuable man In left field until he was
injured McIlveen in the late season
showed great promise. Willie Keller can
not believe that he is all in. and will be
taken south. With Cree and several other
garden recruits, 1t is hoped a formidable
trio may be shaped. The local manage
ment Is open to a trade for a good out
fielder. Davy Jones of the champion I'll
gers Is not without the range of POSSIBLE
ity. Hughey Jennings is hot-foot after
Moriarity. Stallings Is not yet willing to
let go of his crack utility fielder. but may
ultimately do so TO strengthen his infield.

PENNSY BARS OUT
PLAYER LONDRIGAN

PHILADELPHIA, December I.-Jo-
seph F. Londrigan, captain of the Uni
yersity OF Pennsylvania base ball team
will never play another game Of ball with
the Quaker nine This has not been an
nounced officially by the faculty athletic
committee, but this body is in possession
of all the facts that prove Londrigan
professional.
Under base ball law Londrigan is sub
ject to Manager Mack Of the Athletic
club. Londrigan has never played with
the Athletics Neither has he signed a
contract with the local manager. But
under the rules of organized base ball he
must do business with Mack If he wishes
to enter major league ranks.
Londrigan was professional when he
entered the medical department of the
university. His home is in HaZleton. Pa,
where he has enjoyed the reputation OF
being one Of the fleetest base runners,
hardest hitters and cleverest felders in
eastern Pennsylvania. In 1907 Londrigan
played in the semi-profeSStonal Mountain
League, that included several towns in
Monroe county. With him was young
Stem, who last year played first base for
Trenton of the Tri-State League. and late
last fall was purchased by the Boston
National League club Stem recommend
ed Londrigan to Manager Carney of the
Trenton club. and in the course of nego-
tiations by letter the Trenton manager
accepted Londrigan's written terms, and
Immediately notified Secretary Farrell of
the National Association of Professional
Base Ball Leagues of this fact This was
last spring. and had Londrigan never
smirched his amateur status prior to this
act this was sufficient to make him a
professional. But LOndHgan had played
base ball for money under the name of
Adams in Shamokin and later in Sun
bury.
Londrigan refused to report to Trenton
last summer after the college season
closed, but this did not vitiate his con-
tract with the Trenton club. Manager

From this day on have made up my

Billiards today is not what 1t should

the billiard rooms that we have. at least
six players of championship class. There

ton.
Although I say it myself. I have been
the only young player since the time OF
Ives that has come to the front and be-

discouraged at the way billiards was be
