with a blow, the Dane would be seri-

that instructions from the referee are
lost on the damaged ear drums of Nelson,
which. it is pointed out. increases the
chances of disqualification from the third
man in the ring.
Nelson claims that any apparent in

climate in this section of the south at

Nelson has named Memorial day (May

Battler's declarations he did not impress
southern fight fans here with general
idea that he cared to go to the arenas

verdict of the southerners, who expect to

"REFEREE IN RING'-BRITT
Jimmy Doesn't Like British
Custom.

Jimmy Britt, who has had some
little experience in the boxing
game on both sides of the water,
has come out emphatically in
favor of the American system of
refereeing. In a recent letter
Britt states the American idea Of
having the referee in the ring with
the fighters is finding favor with
the English sporting public. Britt
writes:
I'm order to see everything that
takes place and to be in position
to see everything the referee must
be In the ring, moving about with
the fighters and keeping close
watch lest one might slip across a
foul blow.
For instance, a referee sitting
outside the ring cannot see where
a blow lands, fair or foul. Espe-
cially is this the case when
blow strikes when the back of one
of the fighters is turned to the
official. He may see the blow
started, but he cannot possibly
know whether it lands fair or foul.
This situation, owing to the con-
slant moving of the boxers. may
occur a hundred times in the
course of a twenty-round bout,
and it is a temptation, especially
to nearly beaten man, to either
try to disable his opponent by
foul blow or to fall down and pre-
tend he himself was struck I'M
fairly.
This temptation does not pre-
sent itself when the eyes of the
referee are constantly on the
principals. as is sure to be the
case when he is in the ring and
changing his position so as to
keep the arms of both men within
his vision"

Henry Spencer, known on the turf as
the Ice Man, who has been riding in
Europe with success. has decided to APP

DEFINITE PART OF PLAN
EDUCATIONAL SCHEME FOR

Suggestion Made to Railroad Com
panies by ]. Shirley Eaton.
System Is Necessary.

Railroad financial arrangements should
incorporate an educational scheme as a
definite part of their policy, on the ground
of business prudence: and such policies
should be inaugurated for periods of not
less than five years, preferably ten. other
wise the money appropriated will be
largely wasted" are conclusions arrived
at by j. Shirley Eaton, former statisti-
clan of the Leh:gh Valley railroad. in a
monograph which United States Commits
sioner OF Education Elmer T.. Brown has
transmitted to the Secretary of the In
terror.
Mr.. Eaton points out that the time will
come when railroad employ for every man
in the service will not mean drudgery or
sinecure nor accidental opportunity, but
an enlightened, stimulating. highly efh-
cient service of highest earning power,
least uncertainty from accidental causes.
largest freedom for individual initiative,
entire self-respect and thoroughly demo-
cratic spirit.

MAGNATES MEET TO
ADOPT SCHEDULES
Looks Like a Hard TuSSle Be-
fore 154-Game Season
Goes Through.

PJTTSBURG, January 24-Men promi-
nent in the base ball world are gathered
here today, the occasion being the annua
joint session of the schedule and rules
committee of the American and National
leagues, which opens late this afternoon
at the Fort Pitt Hotel
Whether the National League teams
shall play 16S games or 154, as In past
years, is the paramount issue under de-
bate. 1t will be one of today's earliest
conference topics. Chairman Charles IL
Ebbetts of the National League schedule
committee said today:
'rrhe league has instructed me to
frame a 16S-game schedule. and this
propose to do. If it don't work we will
go back to the 1.4-game season.
1t is reported that If Ebbett's schedule
Will dovetail into the 15i-games schedule
of the American League, opposition to II
will be dropped Incidental to the sched-
uIe question will arise the revision of the
rules.
No official announcements are expected
at the close of today's session.
The air is filled with rumors of trades.
Manager Fred Lake of the Boston Ma
tionalS reached here yesterday morning
and went into conference with Director
John p. Harris of the Bostons. Lake
does not deny that he is looking for the
best of some trade.
IF the two leagues do not encounter
any serious obstacles the schedule MAX
ing can be completed in one day, but
If the National adheres to the long sched-
ule, there will be complications that
will delay the work. The schedule COM
mittees do not make public the result OF
their work. as each is required to report
back to it's own league next month, and
the schedules are not in force until each
league casts six or more votes for their
adoption.
The Boston club is on the warpath and
President John Dewey and Manager Fred
Lake will fight for their schedule rights.
AS Director John p. Harris is already on
the ground, the three should be able to
hold their own against Ebbetts, Lynch
and Dreyfuss.
The st. Louis Nationals are also re-
ported to be complaining against the
practice of making a large number of
conflicting dates at ST. Louis on Sundays.
President Robson is of the opinion that
there never was any good excuse for this
at any time. and absolutely none now

IND0RSE BILL TO CREATE
NATIONAL ART BUREAU
Senator Newlands' Measure APP

Artists.

Architects and artists in many parts
Of the country are taking much interest
in the bill of Senator Newlands pro
viding for the creation of bureau OF
arts, and many Endorsements have reach.
ed him during the last few days.
Cass Gilbert, retiring president of the
International Institute of Architects
wrote to Senator Newlands regarding
his bill providing for the creation OF
the bureau of arts that he had "seen
no criticism whatever in the press" OF
the proposed law.
''This seems to be the general sentl-
ment," said Senator Newlands. In re-
ferring to the matter.
''As far as I can judge" said a visitor
from New York, this is one of the most
unSelfSh measures ever introduced in
Congress. 1t is recommended by every
consideration of business and art With
out doubt its passage would be a great
benefit to the entire country. 1t would
not be an injustice to any one, and il
would not be a financial burden but, on
the contrary, would be an economy
No Adverse Comment.
Mr.. Gilbert also wrote to Senator New
lands, as 1ollOws: Il have received a
large number of newspaper clippings from
all over the country, indicating support
of your bill. - = In fact, 1 have seen
no criticism whatever in the press, and
have heard no individual criticism"
Mr.. Frank Choteau Brown, architect,
editor of the Architectural Review, wrote
regarding the aDolishing Of the council
of arts, saying: 1T is the hope of those
interested that the abolishing of the coun-
ell is preliminary step to obtaining the
same result in a more permanent form
through congressional action"
This bill will probably be introduced in
the House in a few days, and prepare
tons are being made to hold hearings on
it In committee.

Undismayed by it's defeat of Saturday.
the George Washington basket ball team
returned to town from Annapolis with
renewed confidence in it's future pros
poets. Though st. Johns ran up a nice
score in the first half, the local boys
came back with a vengeance in the sec
ond period, and, although their best man
was out of the game, came within one
point Of the number scored by st. John S
that half. The floor upon which they
played had been used for one of the col
lege dances the previous evening and as
a result was in very slippery condi-
ton, which the Hatchettes found diff
Guilty in becoming accustomed to. At the
last moment it was decided to substitute
Applebaum for Smith As a forward and
judging from his work in the game it
is probable that Applebaum will get the
permanent berth.
Manager Horn has announced his Scled-
ule as follows:
January -susquehanna
January 31-Bucknen.
February i0-Mount ST. Mays.
February 26-Washington and Lee.
In addition, he is considering games

ern colleges. All the scheduled games
will be played out of the city, win the
exception Of the Washington and Lee
game, which will probably take place in

changes from the first lineup will take
