Stadium for NAVY.

Annapolis, July 16.-The board of
visitors to the Naval academy has
recommended the erection of a con-
crete stadium for the accommodation
OF the crowds that visit Annapolis for
athletic contests. This will be a great
Improvement in conditions and a thing
that the navy folks themselves could
not well undertake, because of the
expense under which normally they
are for athletics. The money needed
for sports is contributed and there are
no opportunities for raising funds by
charging admission to the ground.
This Is not permitted. A. stadium is
something the Navy Athletic associa-
ton wants very much.

middleweight

Stanley Ketchel, middleweight
champion, and one Of the cleanest cut
and gamiest fighters who ever stepped
into a ring, believes that Governor
Gillette of California has set the pace
for other state executives of the ma.
ton.
ut is the so-called finish fight
which has tabooed the game to large
extent" says the champ middleweight.
These bouts were made hobby by
Battling Nelson, because the Battler
thought no one could beat him oyer
the long route, whereas he felt that
he might get outpointed in a shorter
battle.
Then the sanguinary talk between
jeff and Johnson and the fact that
they finally signed for one Of these
finish fights turned the side of public
opinion roughly against prize aght-
ing.
II look to see the time when boxing
will be regarded as is fencing now and
would not be at all surprised were
the bouts Of the future to be limited
to ten rounds at the outside. Ten
rounds are amply sufficient to estab-
fish superiority in boxing If not in.
bulldog courage.
"It will put the game on a much
more solid basis if the 1O-round rule
Is effected. I do not believe, either,
that 1T would be a difficult thing to
proselyte the fans, for there is no
lodging the fact that finish fights are
nought but exhibitions OF. brutishness,
When boxing is conducted for science
as is fencing, the games stock win
take a boost"
Such are the words of the cham
pion knocker-out of the day. And
there is lots Of logic in his EXPOSE
ton.

MAY BE DEADLOCK ON
ALDRICH'S SUCCESSOR.

Pc Unable to Choose.

PROVIDENCE, r. l., Dec. S0.-A
deadlock may be the result Of the Leg
islature's attempt to elect a United
States Senator to succeed Nelson w.
Aldrich, or a compromise candidate
may be chosen. With the opening of
the General Assembly only a few days
away, the senatorial situation remains
practically as it was several weeks ago.
The Republican State Committee and
the high protectionists are using their
influence to elect Henry F. Lippitt, a
wealthy textile manufacturer, who is
the choice of Senator Aldrich, and the
so-called Independent element Is doing
its utmost for Judge Lebaron e. Colt,
of the United States Circuit Court Of
Appeals, a brother of Colonel Samuel
p. Colt, president of the United States
Rubber Company.
The Democrats with a strong MINOR
ity in the Legislature, are without an
avowed senatorial candidate. The
Legislature convenes next Tuesday.
The voting for Senator Will begin on
January II.

Placed in Operation
Sunday.

All Public Service employees, 1nelud-
ing those in the electric, gas and troll
lev branches, were today notified thai
the system Of pensions, life insurance
and sick and accident benefits, the cost
of which will be borne by the orpora-
ton. will be placed in operation Sun
day. The system is one that has been
under consideration by the officials OF
the public Service Corporation for a
long time.
Following is the letter notifying the
EMPLOYEES. and which is signed by j. ].
R,Irleigh. chairman of the welfare com
mittee:
Public Service Corporation of New
Jersey and its allied companies have
put into effect, dating from anus
/, 1911, a general plan of pensions. life
insurance and sick or accident Dement'S
for all employees.
In brief the company has agreed TO
help support its employees when they
are unable to work q of sickness
or injury, to provide payable
at death to their dependents n TO
take care of faithful employees during
their declining years.
ut is the intention to pay a minimum
pension of $240 a year, Ire INSURANCE Vi
$500 and a sick benefit, within certain
limitations. of 81 per day. Details OF
the plans can be secured from the book
of rules and regulations which is ready
for distribution.
In thus providing for the interests of
its employees, Public Service has agreed
10 assume the entire financial burden
of the undertaking, and the men viii
receive the benefits without cost to
themselves.
"The company, in return for the in
auguration of its very liberal plan of
treatment, naturally asks for the con-
tinued loyalty and good will of it's en-
ployees, urging upon them the fact that
the company's best interests are their
best interests and that both are chiefly
concerned in serving the best interests
of the public"
