SIGNAL CORPS WINS
IN TWO CONTESTS
Defeats Company H of Post at Bas-
ketball and C Company
With Rife.

The Signal Corps basketball team won
the third and deciding game with H COM
pany of Fort Douglas last night at the
National Guard armOry by a score Of 90
to 2 The first half ended with a score
OF p to Z in favor of the Sgnaiites, but
in the second half each team scored three
field baskets, with the score of the reg
ulars increased through the foul baskets
scored by Lieut.. Elliott, who counted on
eight out of the II tries. During the game
Lieut.. Elliott had 16 free throws, on
when II points were scored.
The first game between these two teams
was won by the regulars by a score Of
II to r. but the second game went to
the Siznal Corps, with a score Of 80 to
q, ana last nights game settled the dlf-
ference in favOring the Signal Corps by
two games to one. AS the series now
stands between the Signal Corps and the
teams Of the fort, the Corps has won
from H company by to !, has won both
games played with B company, defeated
D company once and lost to 1 company
by a score Of IS to Y in the second game
of a dOuble-header a week ago.
The two teams will meet again to settle
the argument, as the Signal Corps IL
tends to carry away the scalps Of every
company team in the Fifteenth regiment
After defeating the Fort Douglas team
last night the Signal Corps rifle team
won from c company of the guard at
both positions of standing and sitting. In
the round standing the Corps won easily
with scores of 200 to ll1, and by 10 70
205 sitting. The scores were as 1OllOWss

lex KlCKARD HAS CAREER that WOULD
MAKE GOOD NOTES FOR JACK LONDOD

and he worked north through Wyoming
and Montana until the call of the north
lured him to Alaska. 1t was in Nome
that Tex began to accumulate money and
a reputation. He was one Of the first
men in GoldfieId when dividend paying
quartz was discovered in that Nevada
camp and he became identified with the
big mining interests.
1.-THE world first heard Of Tex Richard
when he staged the Gans-NelsOn fight,
offering $4,000 to the men. The gold
camp battle brought laugh at first,
but Richard counted $4,000 in the box
office and the scOffers ceased smiling.
Make Good.
TT is because Richard is known in the
country from which he comes as man
who does things that the rest Of the
country accepts him as capable. That ne
will stage the Jim-Jack show in good or
der and insure that everything is on the
level may be accepted on sight, ior it was
Richard who warned Cans and Nelson
that an attempt TO fake their fight in
GOidfield would be the signal for tie
SWEETEST exhibition Of snap shooting since
FL Caney.
'Rickard is not a sport follower, but he's
a student of men, and he knows how and
likes to do big things. So when he de-
cided he wanted the big fight he went
after it in q manner that left no doubt
Of his intention
ct was when Jack johnson saw Rick
ard S fifteen $1,000 bills on the table that
the fight went to him. The others had
talked big money, but Richard showed
the goods. This and the clause in his BID
that gave the fighters control Of the pic
tUre privilege settled the game, and
thereafter the other bidders didn't have
a lOOk-in.
you might conclude from this that
Tex Richard is a shrewd gent, and / don t
think anyone Will blame you"

ASSOCIATION
MAY HAVE POLITICS

Chicago, Dec. 2S.-Ameriean association
magnates will begin gathering today for
tomorrow annual meeting, and the ad-
vance gossip which floated into town
ahead Of them indicates they may have
as pTOtracted a meeting as the National
league had in New York, with the result
of the election Of a dark horse to the
presidency.
Reliable information has preceded the
club owners of the minor leagues to the
effect that neither President OBrien nor
T. H. ChivingtOn Of Louisville will be
elected at this meeting, but on whom the
tCga will fall is not disclosed.
Recent reports credited President
O'Brien with having the backing OF four
club owners and gave the other four votes
to ChivingtOn. The latest told, however,
is that O'BTien can count with assurance
only on Minneapolis, Milwaukee and St.
Paul, which three votes are certain to be
asked for ChivingtOn are those of Louis
ville Kansas City and Indianapolis, leav-
ing the balance Of power with Columbus
and Toledo, which clubs are said to be in
favor Of neither candidate, but may swing
into the ChiYington column.

New York, Dec 2S.-The presidents of
the Massachusetts, Metropolitan, Phila-

Rhode Island Golf association will meet
at Boston on January II to discuss the
action Of the WESTERN players in quitting

announcement Of the conference was ac-
companied by a brief statement charac-
terizing the attitude of the west as un-
SpOTtsmanlike.
the views of the whole country have not
been carefully considered by the United

ment. Chicago has received suitable
representation on the executive board
has received her full share of the cham
pionship meetings, has had a voice in
the amendments to the rules, which were
adopted by the st. Andrews committee
and the method of nominating officers
has been changed to meet her views"

OF the memorable baseball campaigns

of the features was the speech made by

of the interesting history OF the old
league. His nominating speech follows:

During all those years the game inn

the last years Of Mr.. AOung's presidency
the actions of the players upon the ball

taken by this league to correct and re-

Tex Richard has spent days in the saddle
and on the trail-the laugO and rope are
as familiar to him as the clink Of money,
and that he is the cool, plunging gam
bier he is reputed to be.
"Rickard is a gambler of the sort Bret
Harte loved to describe. He has been
gambling all his life-nOt necessarily with
cards, but with fate, and he has played
a winning hand, because he dared take
ch2nces at which less nervy men faltered.
In Texas, Richard at an early age was
