Freddie Welsh is to have a chance
at Battling Nelson's lightweight cham

to meet Welsh in a 2O-round fight in
Great Britain for purse of 100000.
Where this fight is to take place is as
yet unsettled. 1t may be in London
or in Wales.
Many critics have declared that Mel
son is taking foolish chance in going
on with Welsh in such a short bout.

Harry Lewis, who was scheduled to

of the bout for two weeks, as he has
to meet Howard Baker, the western

While the Battler is undeniably better
over the Aground route than any 9th
er distance, he should not fear Welsh
greatly over the halfway distance.
Welsh is a clever boxer, and If he
could stay the distance might get the
decision. However, he hasn't the
punch to put Nelson out The Battler
on the other hand, can hand Welsh
some stiff ones that ought to put his
opponent away. The bout will attract
worldwide attention

BAKER TEAMISA
FORMIDABLE FOE.
MEN oTTUMWA QUINTET MEET
TOMORROW NIGHT HAVE
ONLY LOST THREE
LOCALS GRIP ED
Guard Mier May Not Be Able TO Play
on Account of Sprained Ankle
Second Squad Plays Pella
College Tuesday.

That the Ottumwa FIVE will meet a
formidable opponent in the Baker
university basketball team in the To-
cal gymnasium tomorrow evening is
shown by the record made by the Kan
sas quintet during their present tour
through Kansas Missouri, Illinois and
Iowa. During this tour the Sunflower
five has met the fastest basketball
teams in Kansas and Illinois and have
only lost three games. The Evanston
and the Decatur, H., Y. NJ. G. A were
victorious. When it is taken into
consideration that the Evanston five
won the A. A. U. championship in the
central section last year, and that the
St Louis team holds the Y. M. G. A.
title of the south, not losing a game
in three years, were held to low
scores it is evident that the Baker
university is strong aggregation.
In reality they have only lost two
games as the Evanston five was met
twice and Baker captured one of the
contests.
In letter to Physical Director
]. Eigenmann, Manager II. Y. Jamison
OF the Baker school says the team is III
good shape. He lays their defeat at
Decatur to the peculiar constructed
gymnasium. He tells of the success
on their trip and how pleased he is
to have the Ottumwa five on his
schedule.
Outlook None Too Bright
! The outlook for the Ottumwa five
in the Baker game is not the brightest
Micque Mier, the star guard may not
be able to play. Mier sprained his
ankle in the Muscatine game and since
that time he has been unable to appear
on the floor for practice, Physical
Director Eigenmann believing the
ankle should be given rest. 1t IS,
however, likely that he will enter the
contest, but whether he will be able
to finish the game is question. In
case he can not continue, Walter
Johnson, substitute guard will play.
Hold Last Practice.
The last practice of the local five
was held last night the boys being
given strenuous opposition by the fast
second team The time intervening
between the game will be spent by the
men in rest and plenty of sleep. All
of the players are in tip top condition
with the exception of Mier.
The probable lineup of the two fives
in Friday nights contest follows:

light on the question of the parcels

er the carriers are observing strictly
the postal regulations regarding the
carrying of such matters? The above
question is interesting to the local ru-
raj carriers, who have received cir
cular letter from P. " McGraw, fourth
assistant postmaster general, asking
them to make reports on the above. 1t
REQUIRES all rural carriers to keep a
daily account of all packages of UNI
mailable matter which they carry as
express matter for hire, and as an ac-
commodation to their patrons, together
with statement of the weight Of such
packages.
The count will commence on Janu-
airy / and will continue through the
month. At the close of the month
the postmaster will send to the postal
department a statement giving the
number of packages carried by each
carrier, together with the total APP
proximate weight.
Carriers are not permitted by the
postal regulation to carry any mail
able matter. AS packages of mer-
chandise under four pounds in weight
may be mailed and as 1t is difficult to
wrap ordinary merchandise so that 1t
IS unavailable, the carriers carry as
express only packages weighing more
than four pounds each.
1t has become common for patrons
on rural routes to telephone to drug
gists and have medical prescriptions
prepared and sent by the rural car
riers. Such articles may be carried
without violation of the regulations.

Many are the surmises being made in different parts Of the city as to the winners in the Graphic Trip con- test.
 First one and then another will put for the name of their favorite only to have it relegatel to a back place by some one else who has friend in the race for contest honors.
 The contest man, while walking along Main street, nea Second ave- nue Monday afternoon, was some- what surprised to see number of men and boys standing at the curb stone all interested in two of their number in the act of handing an on- locker some greenbacks with min- ute instructions as to what he was to do with it. Naturally the contest man stopped to see what the excite ment was all about and as he did so one of the parties who was evil dently making a bet of some kind soeAu ohC IL u OlA 4hASS has no chance to win in her dis trict. I tell you Miss will have things her own way before the close of the contest. She has bunch of friends who are going to give her their support and she will have enough votes at the end to choke an OK. One of the others spoke up and said, Your choice will be where the Chicago Cubs are since the "Phillies' showed them how to play ball, and to show you how much I think of the chances of both Miss - and Miss will bet you -four bits that Miss Ketchem will poll more votes than the two of them put together. With that there was some more silver placed in the hands of the stakeholder and the parties mak- ing the bets on thir favorite moved away and the contest man was left alone to soliloquise on the way of the world and it's people.
 Great Interest.
 And that is the way it goes all over the city and in the territory covered by the Graphic. Everywhere the public are wont to congregate you will find the contest being talked of and the chances the different candidates have of being among the winner dis cussed.
