"PARSON" DAVIES MAY NOT
SURVIVE SEVERE ILLNESS
Famous Sporting Man is Near
Death as Result of Stroke
Of Paralysis.
MANAGED JOHN L. SULLIVAN

Chicago. March 3.-Charles r. (Par-
SOM Davies, the veteran sporting man,
is critically III at the home of relatives
i'm this city. and the end is believed
to be but question Of days. He
suffered a stroke Of paralysis i'm New
Orleans about two years ago, and
since then his health has been steadily
failing. Since his present condition
became known countless messages OF
sympathy and cheer have poured in
upon him from sporting men the
world over.
Fifteen or twenty years ago, when
he was at the height of his career,
"Parson" Davies was known by prob
ably more sporting men and followers
of prize fighting than any other man
i'm the world. At one time or another,
until illness caused him TO relax his
activities. he managed nearly every
prize fighter of any note. lie was
probably best known to the sporting
world as the manager of John l.. Sui
livan. He managed Sullivan when the
latter was moving down his oppon-
ents with one swing of his giant right
arm. 1t was the "Parson" who brought
Peter Jackson from Australia to Am
erica and he also looked after the
affairs of Jack Dempsey when he held
the worlds middleweight champion
ship. other fighters who owed a
great deal of their success to the
shreWdness of Davies included Tommy
Ryan, Joe Choynsk and Jack Burke,
"the Irish lad"
For the past ten or twelve years the
"Parson" has not been active in ring
affairs and the thousands of dollars
he has made out of the sport have
slipped through his fingers until he has
little left. A few years ago he start
ed a billiard hall i'm New Orleans, but
his venture was not a great success.

Detroit, Mich. March 3.-Dr. Geo. A.

suspected of performing a criminal op-

case was built up against him by the
Wayne county authorities. The prLn-

NATIONAL GUARD CAMP.
Michigan Troops Not Likely to Go to
Sparta, Wis.


Adjutant General James n. Cox ar
rived in Houghton from Lansing yes
terday. on private business. His visit
at this time was not expected.
In discussing the recent announce
ment that all of the state troops of
the middle west. including the Michi-
gan National Guard would camp at
Sparta, Wis. this year. Mr.. Cox seems
inclined to believe that the report was
erroneous. The Michigan troops do
not belong to the division which will
camp at Sparta and it is thought that
the camp planned will be for the North
and South Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa
and Wisconsin militiamen. Col. Cox
states that If the Michigan troops go
to maneuver camp. it will be at Fort
Ben Harrison. near indianapolis. Ind,
as that is the camp for the division
with which the Michigan troops are
connected.
II appears, however, that the state
is short Of funds for military purposes
and that it may be necessary for the
state troops to forego the pleasure of
participating i'm one of the big instruc-
ton camps this year However after
this year, the state is to receive six
cents per capita on population from
the government for military purposes
which win make it possible for the
troops to participate in the maneuver
camp in the future.
