MUST SHUN THE FAIR SEX
"ch. H. q. DNrcnfOrth Plans Grand
sons Life i'm His WiIl-Kceps Him
Busy Until %.

Washington, July 1O.-PIanning
the whole life of his grandson and
adopted son, Robert st. George Dy-
renforth, from his present age of II
until his twenty-eighth year, along
lines that suggest Chesterfeldian
ideals practiced by an austere Sir
Austin F'everel--such is the feature
of the will just filed for probate, by
which the late Gen. Robert G.. Dyren
FORTH a wealthy patent attorney of
| Washington, who died July 4 at his
| temporary home in New York, leaves
his large estate to the grandson.
Numerous conditions are named
One is that the boy whose mother
| dled when he was a baby must alb
Jure the society of his grandmother.
Mrs. Jennie Dyrenforth, wife Of the
NVhoi idi' anu OIL an aunt, Mrs. Rose
Marie Notion, both of whom live in
Washington. The other aunt the laf
has is an invalid in a sanatorium.
| The boys executors are also directed
to keep him away from all members
| OF the unfortunate sex," to whom
are ascribed shrewd and guileful
arts.
Young Dyrenforth, who is now in
the keeping of kinsmen in Chicago.
Is expected to be ready when he is
IA to graduate from the high school
into Harvard University, from which
In turn he must graduate at IS. He
Is then to go to Oxford University,
England, for short time, then enter
and graduate from the Military
| Academy at West Point and serve for
a time in the army. Then he must
again go abroad and prepare himself
Tor the law. In the meantime, he
must have visited the principal coun-
tries of Europe and learned their
languages; like the IL Miss Pellicoes.
he must have learned dancing and
the globes. and he must have become
proficient In athletics and all manly
sports.
And at %, fully prepared to do
llfe's battle, he is to commence his
career with a large fortune, tended
by careful stewards at his commond.
In every way the boys mode of life
is anticipated in theory, and despite
the hardness Of some conditions. il
makes for a successful and enjoyable
existence.
General Dyrenforth was 65 years
old when he died He had retired
from the United States army about
rs years previously and become a
patent attorney. He was very sue
cessful. and two years ago placed H.
E. Stonebraker in charge of his
Washington Office and removed to
New York, where he opened another
office. 1t was while in New York
that he died July 4.
General Dyrenforth was a native
or Chicago and was educated in Prus-
sia' graduating at Heidelberg. He
served in the United States army
from 1861 to 1865. He married Miss
Jane DeLacey in Chicago in 1866.
General Dyrenforth was war CORE
spondent in the Franco Prussian war.
he was Commissioner of Patents for
many years. His sending up of rain
ballons" in 1912 to determine if
conclusion of air effects production
or rainfall, for which congress made
an appropriation, attracted the
worlds attention. Dyrenforth was
commonder in chief Of the Union Vet
erans' Union for five terms and was

J. Coffroth. the greatest fight promoter
in the world, came into his own today
as far as holding fights IN this city is
concerned. For three years Jimmy"
as he is well known here has been
forced to hold his battles beyond the
city line, due to opposition of the re-
form administration.
The police committee of the board Of
supervisors today granted the Shasta
club a permit to hold a limited round
fight in this city in January. As Cof-
froth is the controlling spirit In the
club. it. practically means that the auz
thorities have decided to let down the
bars, and he will no longer be forced
to stage his battles at the Mission
street arena
At the meeting of the committee no
action was taken regarding the appli-
cation of the Marathon club for a per-
nit. The club represented by Jack
Gleason has made application for per-
nit for forty-fve round battle, which
would enable them to stage the JEFF
fries-Johnson fight, but as no action
resulted the question of the location of
the championship battle remains as in
definite as ever. Those interested eag-
erly awaited any announcement re-
garding the decision of the committee
but nothing can be done now until the
next meeting.

DREYFUSS NOT TO
MIX IN DATES
Would Leave Schedule to
Lynch and Heydler.

Pittsburg, Jan. 15.-If President Bar
ney Dreyfuss of the Pittsburg baseball
club has his way neither the local mag
nate nor President hCarley H. Ebbets
of Brooklyn will have anything to do
with the making of the schedule
In his letter written today to Ebbets
he makes the suggestion that both he
and President Ebets tender their resig-
nation as members of the National
league schedule comittee and leave the
work in the hands of President Lynch
and Secretary Heyd1er.
The pirate leader says that in the
American league, although an honorary
committee is named each year, the real
work Is done by President Johnson
and Secretary MERCY. and he thinks it
would be better for the National league
to adopt similar plan.

aggregation worked as a single ma
chine and their team work was the
feature of accuracy and precision Ev-
cry member of the Valparaiso team de-
serves the highest praise. FELTON, and
Stinchfield starred all through the con-
test and brought frequent bursts of
applause from the audience by their
brilliant playing and their accuracy in
throwing baskets from different ang-
les.
The Gary boys played the best they
could. but they were Simply outcIassed
by better team, which bids fair to
make strong claim for the state cham
ptonship. The local team has shown
up well in practice, but when they came
to line up against a strong team they
lacked In team work. Hake and Bowl
by played the best game for the Gary
tea mand deserve great credit for their
perseverance in trying to break up the

GARY HIGH SCHOOL TEAM
IS BEATEN LAST NIGHT

The Gary high school basketball
team was groveled in the dust last
night at the Washington skating rink
when the team met the Valparaiso high
school five, and when the smoke Of the
contest cleared away the score stood
40 to 6.
1t Is simple tale. The Valparaiso
boys. who have the reputation this
year OF being the fastest team in the
northern part of the state, just romped
away with the game and played the To-
calls completely Off their feet In the
last half of the game the local five tried
to rally, but without avail. The team
work of the visiting team was so fast
and brilliant that the Gary boys. out
played, outclassed and tired from their
exertions, stood by and watched.
Several members of the local. team
played hard all throughout the game,
but towards the last the rest were so
bewildered that the ball struck them
on the head several times before they
knew they were hit.
more brilliant game has never been
witnessed In Gary. The Valparaiso
