THREE REGIMENTS FACE
ENTIRE RED RATTALIoNS

BOSTON, Aug. 17.-At the conclusion
of today's maneuvers in the war game
in which the army of the Red. under
Brig. Gen. Tasker H. Bliss, is striving
to defeat the army of the Blue, COM
mtanded by Brig. Gen. William A.
Jew, jr., and capture Boston, the army
of the Red had made a material ad-
vance.
At the extreme left OF the Blue line
three regiments are facing practically
the entire Red army. General Bliss
southWard movement was cleanly exc
cuted, and gave evidence that the Red
scouts had fully posted General Bliss
on the position OF the Blues. In the
Reds advance there was never a sign
of hesitation when the Blues outposts
were encountered and captured or driv-
en- in.
At Middleboro Green, Maj. Charles
II. Cutler of the Blue army, with three
skeleton companies of the Eighth In
fantry, was encountered and rendered
non-combatant in quick time. While
the Connesticut squad of cavalry en-
gagged the Blues front, Major Grierson
OF the Reds, with his three troops Of
the Tenth United States cavalry, dis
mounted and acting as infantry and
supported by two machine guns, turned
the right flank of the Blues, w4.ile at
the same moment MAUI biiusoi'ii,
with the New York cavalry executed
the same on the left.
II 1t had been actual warfare II is
believed that there would not have
been a Blue soldier left half an hour
after the engagement had begun.
Today's battle took place under con-
6itions strongly resembling those of
the peninsular campaign about Rlcn-
mond in the Civil War. These country
roads. for days inches deep in the dust
of a long summer drought, were
changed into rivers of mud by the most
severe northeast rainstorm of the sum-
n1er. The soldiers suffered severely.

WEIGHT MAY CAUSE HITCH
IN LANGF0RD-KETCHEL GO
MddIeweight Is Now at 1875 Pounds
and Is Expected to SerIouly Object
to Reducing to 1853

NEW YORK, Aug. II. - Training
quarters have been prepared for Stan
ley Ketchel, and when he arrives here
the latter part Of this week from Cali
fornia he will start work at once in
taking off weight for his ten-round
bout with Sam Langford in Septem ber.
There may be a serious hitch in the ar
rangements because Of the matter Of
weight. Langford says that he will
weigh about 15S pounds at o'clock
Ketchel now weigh 1S5 pounds, and as
he intends to weigh at least 10 pounds
when he fights Jack Johnson in Octo-
Der it is not believed that he will want
to go below that weight for LangfOrd,
as he would have to rebuild quickly for
the Johnson fight
The Fairmont Athletic club insists
that there will be no interference In its
effort to produce the fight here. The
club is protected by a supreme court
Injunction which restraints the police
from entering the building.

CALL ATHLETIC MEETING

NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-THE annual
meeting of the Intercollegiate Athletic
association has been called for this
city December 2S. Delegates represent
ing sixty colleges throughout the coun-
try will be in attendance. At that
time the rules established by the Vari7
ous committees of the association will
be passed upon and steps taken 10
further promote the interests in attn
ietics. An important matter to be dis
cussed will be the objections made by
a number of faculties that their attn
letics are taking too prominent part
in many schools.

he is slated to perform. Others, but
these are probably sarcastic interlopers
suggest that he be given season In
the Alaskan midnight league. But In
all seriousness, Thorsen appears to
have a great future, provided he can
keep firm hold on his newly acquired
control.
A survey over the pugilistic fields
brings out a fact which demonstrates
in startling fashion that the fight game
is in none too prosperous condltlon.
With the exception of the Langford-
Ketchel bout scheduled for September
in Philadelphia, which controversies
may nullify, there Is not a single big
match carded in the United States at
the present time. Time was when a
half dozen battles of prime Importance,
either as elimination affairs or as act
ual championship encounters, were on
the board in the various fighting CEN
ters. But the Jim Barry-Jack Burns
go is the biggest thing now on the
program, and this, being a ten-round,
no-decision affair, is hardly of suffi-
cient Importance to attract general no
tice. However, the prospects are not
at all gloomy. The recent negotiations
for the Jeffries-Johnson fight have
proved of benefit to the game, re-
awakening the general interest in mitt
affairs. September and October should
see a return to normal conditions and
several good matches may be listed To-
cally and in the east.
Manager Tom McGinty. official care
taker of Phil Brock, the Clevelander
who is confined to the Clara Barton
hospital suffering from the wound In
the side received from q sharp broom
stick In the hands of big Jim Barry,
will probably be able to return to his
quarters at the East Side Athletic club
again today and resume charge OF
Brooks training. McGinty of course
will not be in shape to be actively on
duty for some time. His wounds
proved far more serious than was at
first thought, and for while 1t looked
as II Barry might face far more Sc
rious charge than was preferred
against him by Brock and later with
drawn when Barry agreed to pay the
expenses of the care of the two as well
as Phils expenses in training for the
Cancelled bout with Frank Picato.
Brock is around town cheerful as
ever, showing a plaster covered wound
in the top of his head, but ready tc
enter hard workouts for another en-
gagement, which will probably be be-
tween the Cleveland boy and the win
ner of the Frayne-Hyland fight in San
Francisco next Friday night.
Kid Cleveland comes right back al
Young Miller, whose challenge he &C.
cepts at 110 pounds or any weight the
latter desires. Cleveland writes by
return mail that he will fight Miller or
a basis Of winner take all. Here Is d
chance for a tough little argument al
ten rounds.

The time limit On effort to be like
Christ surely cannot be pleasing to
him. To enter into obligation to try
to be like him for two weeks is about
the same as for a child to engage to
be loving and obedient to its parents
for fourteen days. or for a citizen to
covenant that he will be honest and
laW-abiding for the same length Of
time. The time limit is essentially
wrong. Christ wishes no temporary
likeness to himself. The principle
which will make US like him will wish
to be at work all the time. and will
not be content with bounding it,
