Ten Dollars Fine for Football

Football in Virginia is probably
doomed, despite the efforts being
made by those lovers of the sport
who hold that all of the dangerous
features of the college pastime can
be eliminated.
Capt. R. S. Parks, one of the most
conservative men in the lower
branch OF the Legislature and him
self football player of prowess in
his time, is patron of the bill, and
no less person than Senator Early
OF Greene county. known as the
greatest center the University of
Virginia ever had, is going to push
the bill in the Senate. RumOr has
it that much effort will be put for
ward to have the bill become a law.
The death of Archie Christian of
Richmond, which occurred during
the Virginia game in
Washington, has not been forgot.

few moments before had applauded
his utter ances. Confederate veter-

give aid, but Mr.. Boyd had expired.
The audience was largely composed

of the world, and Jack Fitzgerald of the
Shamrock club of South Omaha.
The men, who have fought two previous
fights to a draw, had been matched to fight
ten rounds and had the fight gone on indi-
best seen here in many a day. In the first
two rounds Fitzgerald seemed to have the
better Of the argument and was landing
his uppercuts with great frequency and pre-
cision, but as the fight progressed English
warmed up, and the fifth round was a
battle royal. Both men were fighting hard
and there was no doubt that they were al
1t for blood.
1t was at the close of this round that the
fight was stopped. Referee John Holden
announced that there was no decision, Eng
lish having refused to accept draw when
offered 1t.
The preliminary bout between Tom Bres-
nahan OF the Shamrocks and Mike Malone
of Denver went the full eight rounds to a
draw. This match furnished a pretty exhi-
bition OF boxing. and although the younger
fighters went after 1t in earnest, yet they
did not forget the finer points of the game,

ris carry. Omaha will have a special police
station hospital and surgical rooms be-
fore another year has passed. Enormous
hospital bills upon the city every year
and wretchedly inadequate surgical quar-

Based upon figures compiled relative to
the bills now being paid to the hospital
for city injury cases and the cost of main
tanning an independent station hospital
DR.. Harris declares the latter could be
operated at half the cost now incurred to
the city. The figures approximately show
that the city pays the st. Joseph hospital
5000 year for the treatment OF patients
who pass through the police surgeons
hands. The proposed independent station
hospital could be operated for 5000 a
year. in addition to the costs which are
now being borne at the station.

Surgeon Harris still faces the necessity

In speaking Of the resignation OF his two
surgeons, Dr. Harris conferred high compli-
ment upon both Surgeons Standeven and
Loveland, declaring them among the best
men who ever worked at the rough and
ready surgery OF the station.
Confined to one small. scantily equipped
room, the surgeons department at the city
Jail has long been looked upon as a ira
vesty. With three chairs. an operating
table, a small medicine cabinet, rows OF
books and their instrument satchels the
surgeons have had to face problems of the
most battling sort. On big nights the
young physicians often find themselves set

occasions the little room is a bull pen"

have been $3.50 such cases in the last five
