LADD HIGHER UP.

North Dakota may not enthuse much
over the advices from Washington that
the federal officials are endeavoring
to land Pure Food Commissioner Ladd
OF this state for a national job. The
Forum does know how far this move
ment has progressed-or what the posi-
tion of Commissioner Ladd would be
regarding an acceptance.
Mr.. Ladd has made an international
reputation as a pure food expert. There
is no state commissioner who has ac-
quired anything like the prominence
OF the North Dakotan in this work.
He was a pioneer and the law he draft
ed and the methods he has pursued
are regarded as standard by other
states. In fact almost an exact copy
OF his pure food bill was introduced
in congress.
Mr.. Ladd gained his first fame by
putting to root the horde Of box car
grocery dealers who unloaded adul-
terated food products onto North Da-
kotans. He then began a campaign
with the dealers in the state to secure
purer and higher grade foodstuffs. He
has succeeded to such an extent that
manufacturers make special products
for North Dakota. No greater tribute
to his success could be paid.
His fight for better paints and drugs
followed the pure food war. He has
also been instrumental in getting bet
ter sanitary laws enacted to govern
bakeries, restaurants, cafes and hotels.
Mr.. Ladd's international reputation
is the result of bis fight against bleach
ed -four. He is, today. the highest
recognized authority in the United
States along this line of work-and so
prominent, that England sent for him
to testify in a casa. ~.

BILLIARD TOURNAMENT
Big Match Inaugurated in
Gary Colonial Club
Rooms.

The first billiard tournament is now
in progress at a Gary billiard room,
and last night one of the most inter-
esting pool tournaments was inaugur-
ated at the Colonial rooms when the
first game was played Henry LARA
bee, who will meet all corners at loo
points, played E. K. Meyers last night
for the first game.
There have already been twenty five
entries in the match and several from
out of town have made known their
intention of trying for the prizes. The
contest is unique, in that all of the
players meet Mr.. Larrabee and the one
that runs up the largest score against
him wins the game.
Last night Meyers gave the kingpin
of the tournament an awful trouncing,
beating him 100 to 76 when 1t was sup
posed that Larrabee was in a class by
himself as far as pool playing is con-
cerned The large crowd attending the
game seemed to excite the player and
many of his misses were totally in
excusable Another game will be
played this evening.
The prizes which will be given are
as follows: First, S. pair of trousers
second, s5 pair of shoes; third. SO PAL
of gloves, and two other prizes which
have not yet been announced.

OLSON THROWS BEEL
TWO STRAIGHT FALLS
Hoosier Wrestler Too Good
for Wisconsin Grappler
in Coliseum Match.

Charles Olson won both falls from
Fred Beell last night at the Coliseum
before a fair sized crowd. Olson proved
too strong for his opponent, slamming
him around almost 81 will. Bell was
clever and got away in good shape, but
the Indianapolis man simply wore him
down
Both bouts lasted a fairly long time,
the first going to Olson in 1851. and
the second in 1925. both on the scissors
and bar arm hold. The men were in
good physical shape and did not waste
much time in getting down to business.
Beell tried many times for the toe grip,
but Olson slipped away and took the
aggressive part This continued
throughout, and the crowd appeared
well satisfied with the proceedings.
When Olson failed to throw Beell in
the first thirty minutes many believed
that the little Wisconsin wonder would
be able to turn the trick Every move
on his part was cheered, but he was
not strong enough to yank the Hoos-
Ter over on his back. Dick Fleming
refereed.
In the preliminaries Eugene Tremblay
took two straight falls from Dick Sor-
renson, the last coming in 1921 on a
crotch and W risthold Professor Dwy-
err made a hit with the crowd in his
battle with Hjalmar Lundin. The
Swede won the first fall, but Dwyer sur
prised him in the second. He suddenly
wrapped his legs around Lundin and
put him on his back in twenty five sec
onds, the scissors hold doing the trick.
The last fall went to the Swede in
| SAL on a scissors and wrist hold
Rouel de Rouen lot to Jess Weste-
good. the agreement being that the
Frenchman had to win two falls in
thirty five minutes. Rouen took the
| first fall all right in 2S:00 but Jess
managed to site kout the remaining
seven minutes.

GAME rs I'm BAD"
Mayor Busse Stirred Up
Over Fixing Things"

wrestling is in bad" in Chicago.
There is chance that the mat game
may be put in the same list as boxing.
The reason for the situation is due to
the fact that reports have reached
Mayor Busse that the wrestling pro-
moters have been compelled to fix
things" with the city hall before they
could hold the bouts
When Jack CurIey went to see the
mayor to secure permission for holding
last nights event at the Coliseum
Mayor Busse is said to have had an
interview with him over the reports.
C. P. Bertche Barney Birch) was pres
ent at the same time The meeting is
said to have taken place Saturday. The
mayor informed Curley that if any
money had been paid to persons of in
fluence in the city hall the man who
had paid it had wasted his money.
1t is declared that Mayor Busse has
been wrought up over the reflection on
the administration and that wrestling
permits may be discontinued.

KETCHEL DEFIES COON
Grand Rapids Boxer Will
Challenge Johnson.

Stanley Ketchel, champion middle
weight, wants to meet Jack Johnson.
His challenge is due any day now. VIII
lus Britt has been visiting Ketchel at
his Grand Rapids home the last few
days and told a friend in this city over
the long distance phone last night that
Stanley was about ready to meet the
negro.
Britt coached Ketchel in his last bat
tie with Papke and the boxer places
much confidence in him. Although
Ketchel at one time said that he would
draw the color line when he got heavy
enough to fight for the title, his opin-
ion has changed since Johnson won
He says he is not afraid of any man
in the world, Johnson included.
When Britt goes to New York in q
few days Ketchel is expected to GO
with him. Britt believes that if a
match with Johnson is not arranged
by that time it will be then Coffrott
is willing to stage the bout.

hands for a modification of the race
law, but want the dates fixed so that
Essex Park will not suffer through any

BURNS LOST TITLE AS
He WON IT NY. HEARS
Johnson Agreed to "Quit
for $4,000, Then Double
Crossed Tom, Is Report.

New York, Jan. 5-A new story
anent the Burns Johnson fight at sgd
ney on December 26 has just come to
light The story is that the fight was a
frameup for Burns to win, but that
Johnson very carefully proceeded to
give the white man a fine double cross
when he got him into the ring. If this
charge is true Burns lost the cham
pionship in the same manner that he
won it. as he got his best claim to the
title by embarrassing Jack O'Brien.
Here is the way the thing was doped
out, according to the report: Burns
is alleged to have had a promise from
Johnson to LAY down" to him. For
doing this Johnson was to receive $10,-
600, which he would bet on Burns and
just about double his money.
There is no doubt about the honesty
Of Sam Fitzpatrick, Johnson's manager,
in the matter. But if Burns had made
his offer to Fitzpatrick the latter, firm
ly believing that Johnson was Burns
master, probably would have agreed to
the frameup just for the chance of get
ting Burns into a ring with the negro

King, Cub Catcher, Hopes
to Cut Out Training Trip.

Kansas City, Jan. 5.-John King the
Cubs catcher, opened his new $35, 900
billiard hall tonight. The new rooms
are said to be the handsomest in the
country, though not the most attrac-
tive by any means. Kings new place
was packed with his friends of this
city
On account of just opening a new hall
it is possible that King will not take
the southern training trip with the
worlds champions in the spring. He
said he hoped to beg off on that trip,
as he would be able to get into condi-
ton by practicing with the American
association team here. OF course.
President Murphy and Manager Chance
may have something to say Ito that
proposition, but it is Kings intention
to remain here If his bosses will stand
for 1t.

WHITE THINKS
WE'LL OF BEALL.
Says New Sox Outfielder
Can Sting Ball Hard.

Washington, Jan. 5.-Pitcher Doc
White of the Chicago White Sox thinks
Johnny Beall, the Washington player
signed by Comiskey for next season will
make the Chicago team a valuable man.
Beall was the star hitter of Galatians
Logan Square team last year and was
recommended to the master of the Sox
by Callahan.
Bean was the hardest hitter among
the Chicago semi-pros., according to
White, who pitched against the Logan
Squares after the season ended Beall
was given trial by Jennings with
the Baltimore team in 1905, but he was
not ready for such fast company at that
time and was turned adrift after a few
days in the Orioles outfeld
