is too radical even for the Anti Race
Track league. which began the cam
paign against the game.
Senators Walker and Martinelli
fathered the measures in the upper
house. while Assemblymen Otis and
Butler introduced the bills in the lower
branch of the general assembly.
Walker and Otis have charge of the
bill prepared and favored by the Anti
Race Track league, while Butler and
Martinelli are advocating the so-called
Sausalito law. which is more drastic
than that proposed by the league. and
for that reason objected to by the more
conservative rack track people.

fight to save the sport in this state.

MURPHY WHIPS
FRANKIE MADDEN

New York. Jan. 9-Tommy Murphy
had frankie Madden so tied up with
arms for ten rounds at the National
Athletic club last night that frankie
could not eve nstart his famous punch.
1t was bitter disappointment as a
fight. Madden forced the fighting all
the way. but Murphy. seeing that one
of Madden's eyes was slightly bruised
during training, hammered away at it
and in the last round it was closed
tight and Madden was seeing only half
of what was going on. In the last
round Madden, almost helpless, ran
blindly into terrific right handler that
shook him clear to the heels. Murphy
was making the best of the opportun-
ity when the bell rang.

The high school tried two new pieces
of music, which were sung at the Mes
siah musicale in Chicago last month.
They expect to make a great success.

row night. Both boys and girls will
play a good game. Admission 20 cents.
Several of the boys and girls cannot

of low grades
The poor freshmen are worrying over
those final examination-soon to come.
During Christmas vacation Mr..
Clark and several of the boys fixed the
basketball quadrangles and seats.
Freshmen algebra has several hard

loss of Arthur Palmer, who played

"Jiggs" Donohue, who managed the
transforming trip taken by the White
Sox at the close of last season and
which got the Sox in bad with the ma
tional commission, has been receiving
letters from the players asking what
the gang intended doing about apply
ing for reinstatement. "Jiggs" has adj
vised them all to apply as quickly as
possible. and the chances are that all
of the Sox will be in good standing
within ten days
Chairman Hermann has written
"Jiggs" that his application Will be
acted upon soon. Wise old Billy
Sullivan didn't get stung. When the
Sox played Callahan's team Suliy took
tickets instead of inshoots and spit
balls Sully was at that time COR
templating a tour of Europe with his
wife were anxious to avoid trouble in
the courts, which seemed likely, mas
much as Callahan had a lawyer telling
the Sox what they could do in a legal
battle in case they didn't want to pay
the fine.

CHANCE-MURPHY ROW
OVER PRIZE MONEY
Owners Alleged Promise to
Reward Cubs for Winning
Flag Not Made Good.

Los Angeles, Jan. S.-The secret of
the trouble between Manager Chance
and President Murphy of the Cubs is
out. According to Chances friends
here, the owner of the three times
champions went back on his word
when it came time at the end of the
season to remember his players with
an extra reward which he had empow-
cred Manager Chance to promise them
in case they won the National league
pennant.
When Manager Chance divided up
the money received for whipping the
Tigers he told his players that as
soon as Murphy received from the ma
tional commission his certified check
of $4,000, which had to be posted to
guarantee playing the worlds series to
finish, he would add a nice present
for each one of the players who helped
to win the National league flag.
But after the certified check was
returned by the commission Murphy
kept mum on the subject of reward
ing his men for bringing him the third
| consecutive National league pennant
and the second straight worlds flag.

ROLLER MAY BE A CONFER.

Seattle, Wash, Jan. 9.-Will DR.. B.
F. Roller, the Seattle wrestler, make
good" as a fighter? This is the ques-
ton that is being asked and variously
answered since Roller has been match
ed to fight Al kaufman before the
Jeffries club in Los Angeles toward
the end of this month.
James ]. Corbett, Bob Fitzsimmons
and other pugilistic stars who have
boxed with Rroller have expressed IA
vorable opinions of his prowess and
predict a bright future for him in the
ring. Their competent judges do not
heitate to declare that the Seattle ply
stefan athlete. while marvel of physi-
cal development, will newer set the
world af1re as a pugilist. To prove
their case they point 70 the tried-and-
true saying that good wrestler never
makes a good fighter. Perhaps, how
ever, the fact that Roller has never
developed into a champion mat artist
may help him to defy the old rule.
DR.. Roller is in the prime of vigor-
Gus young manhood. Born in Illinois
and educated at the medical school of
| the University of Pennsylvania, he
came west after his graduation and
| hung out his single in Seattle. His
marvellous physique. coupled with his
natural love for athletic sports. led
him to take part in amateur wrestling
matches. In those amateur bouts he
was invariably successful. Later he
engaged in professional matches with
a number of prominent wrestlers
among them Champion Frank Gotch
| In these contests he made good
showing and gave promise of develop
ing in time into a first-class wrestler.
Recently he has devoted his entire time
to learning the fine points of the box
ing game. AS a sparring partner he
has had Denver Ed" Martin, the big
negro fighter who has fought Jack
Johnson and other big fellows and has
learned by experience every angle OF
the boxing game.
/ If Roller masters the science of the
game and posses the requisite courage
1t is believed he may develop into 6
good fighter. He possesses all of the
physical qualifications for a heavy
weight champion. He strips at upwards
of 200 pounds, is over feet tall and
possesses a wonderfully long reach
He has a hard punch and for a novice
at the game he is said to be exceed.
ingly shifty on his feet. His muscles
are softer than it should be, but this i.

BRITT TO FIGHT
ADOLPE IN PARIS

Paris, Jan. Jimmy Britt, the
American lightweight and Adolpe, the
champion of France at 1873 pounds, will
fight twenty rounds here tonight The
American has been in training here for
some time and has so favorably i'm
pressed those who have watched him
work that he has been installed a big
favorite in the betting. Britt says he
will knock out Adolphe, while the lat
ter, though not so confident, believes
he at least will hold his own with the
American. The fight has attracted
great attention and a big crowd of men
and women will be at the ringside to
see the men do battle.

telegram was received yesterday by the

Would not think of re-entering the
ring at present under any conditions.

GOOD TEA
lessons THE ANNOYANCE
OF LIFE

There was a time when it
was quite generally claimed
that tea was the greatest
blessing of Providence to
man.
Tea is the best stimulant
to exertion. It lessons the
annoyances of life, and it is
claimed that there is nothing
so good to quench thirst and
it revives the dropping intel
lect. But the tea must be
right, the quality must be
better than what is common
ly sold.
J. z. Brennan, No. 148 So.
Holman street, has the kind
that is highly commended by
the best judges. It is a Sc
lected Japan tea of selected
crop and sells for so cents
per pound. The demand is
active and is increasing
daily. Give this tea a trial.
and above all cultivate the
tea drinking habit.

GARY HIGH DEFEATS
THORTON TWP. SCHOOL
Close Game of Basket Ball
Results in Score of
% to 27.
GAME WAS A SPLENDID ONE
Morgan Stars for Harvey, While
Lyman and Paine Shine for
Home City.

In a game that proved intensely in
teresting last night, because of its
closeness, the Gary high school oe-
feated Thornton Township high school
of Harvey, III. The score was 2S to
81.
At the end of the first half Gary Sc
had earned by hard and consistent
work. The work of the two teams
was about a parallel as far as team
work and basket throwing was con-
cerned, and if the histle for the end
had sounded a few seconds sooner than
it did, or a few seconds later, the game
is just as likely to have been won by
Harvey.
At the end of the second half the
score stood 16 to 70 in favor of Gary.
Right at the start of the second half,
however, Harvey began to gain and
was not headed until sthey had sprung
into the lead Baskets were then see
sawed back and forth until just before
the whistle blew, when Lyman threw
the winning basket. One of the star
plays of the game was the basket
which Morgan, Harveys right guard
made by throwing the ball from one
] end of the field to the others. The
stars of the Gary team were LYMAN
and Paine. The lineup:

both sides; numerous fouls being called.
