LEWIS TOOK ISSUE

Captain William Mitchell Lewis.
president OF the Mitchell Lewis Mo-

of Wauen ]. Davis Of the Manufac-
turers' National bank OF that city for
definite data on the condition OF the
automobile business said:
1T is unfortunate that certain bank
Ing interests have sought to engender
a feeling OF diStrust by interfering
The unfounded report chat the auto
mobile has become an economic waste.
Il is safe to say that more than 80 per
cent Of automobiles purchased today
are not used as a luxury. Daily bust
ness requirements absorb the services
OF these vehicles. 1t also is as appar-
ert to me as an axiom that the charge
that property and homes are mort
gagged to buy motor cars is not in
alignment with the facts Racine with
$4,000 population stands out as q
refutation of this. With about 500
cars. it is free from the absurdity Of
mortgaged homes due to automobile
buying. Our agents in all parts OF the
country deal blows to the canard. Al
careful investigation OF the situation
among banking institutions rather
puts the blame upon the land buying
craze. Tie automobile is cleared OF

JOHN |. TO TEACH
PHYSICAL CULTURE

John L. Sullivan, who held the
championship OF the wrold for many
years, and was never defeated under
London prize ring rules has decided to
retire from public life for good and
settle down on small 1arm near
Boston, there to enjoy life with his
family. John L. has been touring the
country under the management of
Frank Hall the past few years, doing
q vaudeville stunt, and in that time
has. accumulated a fortune.
1t is just six years since Mr.. Hall
took hold of Sullivan, and on July 1,
1911, they will separate as business
partners, probably for all time, as
Mr.. Hall intends to settle down in
Chicago, while John L. will so back
east.
1t is the intention OF the ex-cham-
pion to conduct physical culture
place on his farm similar to the one
established by VIM. Muldoon near
New York city. John L. has ideas of
his ovn regarding the development Of
athletes and the building up of a BUSH
ness man, and he intends to follow
SA4SAh WAOi AAO CSt0OA4SAlnCS Ills pidCG
near Boston.
John L. has had varied career
since he became champion of the
world back in 1882. But there is one
thing that can be said of him, and
that is that he was always on the
square, and for that reason the public
supported him in every way possible
During the last few years John L.
stopped drinking entirely. and during
the Jeffries- Johnson contest at Reno,
New, a reconciliation was brought
about between the big fellow and Bat
Masterson, also Jim Corbett, with
whom he had been at outs for many
years.
At the present time John L. is tour
ing the far west and he will gradual
" work east again. The fans will be
sorry to see him disappear from pub
lo life. but they will wish him every
success in his new venture and wish
him long life.

personal collisions and second by fore

zone 1t has brought upon the unsup-
ported tackles the dangerous continu-
GUS mass plays. The specific problem
before the committee was to protest
the men recovering the pass and still
not disturb the very foundation of the
game. You may say ais many have
suggested. Simply forbid a player to-
interfere with another while recovering
the forward pass" But this brings up
the query. How can the players on
defense know that the men coming
down the field are to take forwasd
pass% They may intend to recover a
kick or they may be leading rum
