Question About Meeting Minne-

Chicago. Jan. university of Chi

in the way of football reform as it is
Interpreted by the national rules com
nittee. The Midway officials yester-
day called off their hostilities against
the present course of reform and an
nounced that the board os athletics
would wait the changes to be made by
the regular committee without further
action.
Coach Stagg stated that the board
would not attempt to influence the ma
tional legislators before the February
meeting. The Inaroons feel that the
coacl1's glowing words regarding the
sincerity of the experts are enough to
insure proper notifications and make
football safe for next season.
The decision of the Midway board
will not prevent the professors holding
3 meeting in the near future to thresh
cut the rules situation for their own
benefit. Next Saturdays session is ex-
pected to be the warnest held at the
midway in a long time, but the most
serious questions will be those con-
corning Chicago's attitude to the other
conference colleges.
The Chicago Minnesota situation is
due for a final settlement within the
next ten days. Coach Stage will learn
at the next board session which col
leges he may play, and unless some ex-
PLANTATION regarding the Minnesota

TOMMY RYAN HEARD FROM.
He VIII Act as Matchmaker for Mem
phis Club.

Chicago, Jan. 5.-At a conference
last night between Doc Hottum,
president of the Memphis Athletic
club, who was responsible for the pas
sage of a bill in Tennessee allowing
eight round boxing shows, and Tommy
Ryan, undefeated middleweight cham
pfon, it was agreed that Ryan should
have an interest in the Memphis club
and should act as matchmaker at a
salary which neither man would make
public.
Hottum made a special trip from
Memphis yesterday to meet Ryan and
talk over the fight situation. Hottum
experienced little difficulty in persuad
ing Ryan to accept the position of
matchmaker as soon as the latter
realized the chance of staging good
fights.
It is the intention of Hottum and
Ryan to hold the first show the lat
ter part of this month or saesFlys in
February. Ryan entered the PROPOSE
ton with enthusiasm and has an ap-
pointment with Battling Nelson to-
day. Ryan wishes to match the battler
with Cyclone" Johnny Thompson for
the windup of the first show. In case
Nelson refuses to accept the terms,
Ryan will endeavor to bring Packey
Mcfarland and Thompson together.

SUE FOR sARBACH SHORTAGES.
Aasons Seek to Recover Misappro-
prfated Lodge Funds.


Holton. Kan. Jan. 5.-Four suits to
recover over $4,000 were filed in the
district court of jackson county here
by attorneys for the Masonic grand
lodge of Kansas. The suits are against

to the Masonic funds. One suit is
against the Enscott State bank for
$4,000
The petition alleges that the bank.
probably upon Sarbacl's orders. di-
verted this amount from the lodge
funds to pay the latter's personal obi
cations to the bank. Another suit for
$4,000 against the State Bank of Hol-
ton is brought upon substantially the
same grounds. Mrs Jacob Hixon, a
widow, is sued for $1,040 because she
held note for that amount against
Sarbac!l, and he paid her with a check
signed Albert Sarbach. grand treasur-
er.' Sarbach paid an insurance prem
1um of $500 to George w. Zimmerman,
agent for the Great Western Life In
sCrance company, with a check signed
in the same manner. and so he is sued
for $500.
The defendants in the suits are all
innocent parties" as they either paid
no attention to the form of the checks
or supposed that Sarbach was privileged
to use the lodge funds in his own busi-
ness. lie was under a heavy bond TO
the grand lodge. After Sarbach's death
a few months ago, it was found there
was a shortage in the lodge funds of
about $4,000. Although this is covered
by the bond, the lodge officers are at
tempting to collect it in this. manner
On the theory that the grand treasurer
mad no right to divert a trust fund
to his own use. The law firm of Carver
& Carver of Topeka filed the suits for
the grand lodge.
