KELLY WANTS MAT TITLE.
Irish Wrestler Says He Is Anxious to
Meet Worlds Best

The invasion Of America by foreign
wrestlers seeking championship honors
seems IN its neyday at present. Con
O'kelly of Ireland and Jack Carroll of
England are the latest arrivals from
foreign shores having eyes on wrestling
titles. O'Kelly Is a heavyweight and
Carroll "A lightweight. Either is willing
to Wrestle any man in his class.
O'Kelly is a big. strapping Irishman.
He comes from Dunnanway. County
Cork. ireland, and in the last two years
has acquired three wrestling titles He
first came into prominence when he
won the amateur championship of
Great Britain. Later he became the
amateur champion of the world by
winning at the Olympic games last
year Recently he won the professional
championship Of Great Britain.
Carroll, who Is a nephew of Joe Car
roll, is much smaller than O'Kelly. He
seems to be a protege of the big fellow.
and O'Kelly is willing to back Carroll
against any lightweight wrestler in the
world. O'Kclly is six feet four inches

a foot. Both wrcstlers expressed con
fdcnce that by the time they are ready
to rccross the Atlantic they will have
added several scalps to their belts.
O'kellY tips the beam ut 23O pounds,
and he says he is anxious to try con-
illusions with Gotch, jenkins. Connolly
or either Of the two terrible Turks.
Yusuf Mahmout and Maxout Marat.
AS Mahmout and Marat have been
looking for matches, followers Of wres-
Ting think it possible a match may be
arranged between one or the other Of
the Turks and O'Kelly.
O'Kelly is not only taller than the
average man, but he Is bigger in other
ways. His chest, expanded. measures
51A inches; normal it is 4SA inches.
His waist measurement IS SO inches,
his thigh 26E and his calf 1917. His
biceps measure 1912 inches also. All
told. he is a wonderfully developed
specimen of the athlete and appears to
be in the best of physical condition.
Carroll. while smaller and lighter. Is
developed relatively as we'll.

my dear, but you've got to depend
upon somethin besides appearances

friends that stick are the ones that
love you for what you are not for
what you wear. and you'll find ma
terial for friends of that kind among
the high and the low. the rich and
the poor. Some OF the best friends

their money, but they're all In the

they seen. but they are experienced,

Since their arrival in Sydney Long

form in practice. The Australian team
that has been selected to defend the
cup Is as follows:
Norman r. Brookes and Walter Dun
lop Of Victoria. A. f. Wilding Of New
Zealand and DR.. Sharp of New South
Wales.
Brookes and Wilding, who carried
the cup to the antipodes from England
and defended it last year. are playing
well. but are not holding their young
opponents too lightly.

called. has become the gilt edged tro-

Dwight f. Davis, formerly n Harvard
man. travelled abroad in 1899 on a
lawn tennis trip. He was one Of the
leading players of this country. While
he was on the other side he suggested
the plan of an international trophy,
and the British received 1t with enthu-
siasm When he returned to this coun.
try he completed the plans, and in 1900
the trophy was put up, and the British
challenged for it.
From 1900 to 1908 the Davis cup was
held by the United States, from 1903
to 1907 by the United Kingdom and
for the past two years by Australia.
In 1908 Wright and Alexander made
the long journey to the antipodes from
this country in an effort to bring back
the cherished trophy, but failed.

There appears to be growing
conviction that the Roosevelt in
fluence will not be as large a fac
tor in the Taft administration as
was supposed it would be when
the former was exerting all the
power and prestige of his high Of
flee and the great Federal machine
OF office holders to nominate and
elect Mr.. Taft. Since the election
an intangible something seems to
have dissipated that cordial feeling
and intimacy that was supposed to
have existed between Mr.. Roose-
welt and Mr.. Taft. We don't hear
any more about the continuance Of
my policies" and as for any con-
sultation or cordial understanding
between the outgoing and the in
coming administrations, there is
not the least intimation. Indeed
it looks as il Mr.. Roosevelt and
MIR. Taft now had nothing in com.
mon, and that the latter was ready
to kick away the ladder by which
be had climbed. Mr.. Roosevelt
has rendered himself so obnoxious
to Congress, the leaders of his
party aud large part Of the coun-
try, that perhaps Mr.. Taft has
concluded to profit by the object
lesson which it affords.

WILL ALWAYS BE IN DOUBT

When it comes to juggling cleo
lions the Democrats are no match
for the Republicans. Take the
dispute over the Lieutenant Cover
norship of this State as the latest
demonstration of this fact. When
Republican Secretary of State
Swanger was casting up the official
vote the original returns showed
the election of Mr.. Painter, the
Democratic candidate. A number
of amended returns, correcting err
r0rs, had been sent in subsequent
to the filing of the original returns,
some showing gains for Mr.. Gmel.

Others showing gains for MIR.
Painter. Mr.. Swanger proceeded
to use part of these amended re.
turus until Mr.. Gmelich had slim
lead in the count, then by pro-
cess Of technical hair.splitting rea-
soning refused to count other
amended returns that just as clear.
ly showed errors which would have
placed Mr.. Painter in the lead.
But Mr.. Swanger didn't have au-
thority to declare the election of
any of the State officers on bis
count; that was for the Legisla-
ture tn do.

WHOM WILL THE CANAL HELP

! IL does seem absurd, doesn't It.,
that the American people should
spend five hundred millions or more,
nobody knows how much more, to
dig ditch across the Panama 18TH
mus which ii has no use for In the
present, and at the present rate Of
progress in things nautical, will
never have any use for in the flu
ture? However, this state of affairs
In regard TO our merchant marine Is
no more absurd than the building Of
a great fleet of warships without a
single American collier tc carry
their supplies of fuel. A 500, O00, 900
canal is rather expensive luxury
for nation that has no merchant
vessels to use 1t, but battleship
without coal is as idle, not to say
superfous, as n painted ship on n
painted ocean. We have both. And
yet Americans are very fond OF be-
ing called wise and enlightened
people; shrewd, practical, hard
headed Yankee nation. They are
"hard-headed" certainly, but there
Is some doubt about the "shrewd
and practical" In view of the evil
dence before us.
The American flag has practically
disappeared from the seas, where
once our fast clipper-built ships were
seen in every port, the admired of
all nations. When Secretary Root
made his momentous tour of the
South American countries, on the
Atlantic and the Pacific, he reported
that he saw about 1900 merchant
ships of other nations and one soli-
tary sail under the Stars and Stripes.
Consequently, |. Is no wonder that

nual volume of trade the maritime
nations of Europe get $420, 0OO, 900
