ARMED TROOPS POLICE CITY DURING ANNIVERSARY OF
 TERRIERS EXECUTION.
REVOLUTION MAY OCCUR
OprlsIng of Anti-Monarchists Feared by Premier CanaIejas, Kings Ad- Visor-Extent of Unrest Is
 General.

Madrid, Oct. 1.-The pail of revolt, which has hung over Spain, became more menacing than at any previous tune as the Republicans, Radicals and Socialists prepared to celebrate the nrst anniversary of the execution of Prof. Francisco Ferrer, who was put to death following the Barcelona cut. break last year, as an inciter of an archy.
 Troops Massed at Centers.
 Spain's drastic military precautions have included the massing of troops ill the barracks at Madrid, Valencia, Barcelona and other centers of dis tress In Catalonia, General Weyler is at the head of great military force.
 Not alone the cities, but Spain in its entirety Is an armed camp. The frontier and provincial districts are policed with soldiers. Artillery is massed at all strategic points. The governments plan is evidently to overawe the mob by a tremendous military display.
 From Catalonia came advises that many persons were seized for display ing Republican colors and for gather ing in the streets of the towns.
 The last orders given by the war minister were to prevent crowds from gathering; to stop all speech making and destroy all Republican flags Se- cret gatherings of anti-monarchists were forbidden as the worst form of lawleSSness
 Canalejas Works for Quiet.
 Premier Canalejas, whose shrewd diplomacy has been noted behind all of the kings recent acts, attempted to allay public feeling by statement given out on the eve of "Ferrer day" in which he said the government made no objection to peaceful tributes paid to the memory of Professor Fer Ter, but that the occasion could not be seized as an opportunity for vio- lence and anarchy The premier said that the government was prepared for any emergency and that the ministry felt no fear over the outcome.
 The delegates to the International Congress of Free Thinkers at Barce- Iona threatened a public demonstra- tion, not only as a tribute to the memory of the founder of the modern school, but directed against the gov ernment.

Baker. a grinning red-headcd youth
tried TO run the Detroit Amateur
Hockey league at the Arena last eve
ming with little or no apparent sue
cess. In fact. Baker will be fortu-
nate IL he gets back on the ice again.
In the second half OF the lronclads
game VS.. the Franklins. Baker became
peeved at Referee Foley regarding
calling an off-side play. Having seen
a hockey game in Canada once, Baker
was amply able TO Judge better than
Foley, that is, according TO Baker
Judgment. He kicked so loudly he
was chased. Then he sneaked BACK
upon the ice and was chased again,
getting five additional minutes.
He ventured back again and po-
liceman was well under way TO re-
move him when Manager Bill Bed
ford. of the Franklins, hustled his
player back among the people. Then
the fiery youth desired combat with
the officials of the league.
The spectators got a big run for
their money last evening. In addl'
ton to the ample verbal demonstra-
ton of Steve" Baker they saw the
Ironclads pile up nine goals. while the
,Franklins got none. In spite or the
lopsided score the game was the fast
est yet played at the Arena. There
wasn't q dull moment, and there was
plenty of speedy work. The lronclads

When Bill Armour, then manager OF

ANN ARBOR. Mich. Dec. Ell
Michigan will not return To the con-
ference. At meeting that lasted four
hours last evening the board in con-
troll OF athletics authorized Director
Bartelme to complete the football
schedule for 1911
No action was taken with regard to
Michigan's return TO the big Eight.
That body was ignored completely, as
the board was OF the opinion that the
stand taken by the conference at It's
recent meeting left the question open
and that no action was necessary. The
board adjourned for a month without
deciding upon any further games Tor
next season than have already been
scheduled. but the management was
instructed TO go ahead and secure the
other games,
In ignoring the conference com
pletely the board has followed the sen
timents OF the university. Since the
attempt OF the Big Eight TO force
the Wolverines TO rejoin It's ranks
the feeling OF the university and the
alumni has been that Michigan should
not give In at any cost.
That Michigan has reached place
where Il can secure enough games In
the east TO make good schedule, ana
that IL has won enough prestige
among eastern schools TO JUSTIFY a
severing of all ties with the west rs

the board. As far as they are con
cerned the conference does not exist.
They have taken the decisive step and

WINDSOR BOUTS
SHOULD Be FAST
Denning & Forbes Furnish Chief
Entertainment at Second Show
Tonight.

The second entertainment OF the
Windsor Athletic clue which takes
place this evening in the new club
rooms across the river. should provide
some interesting bouts. The opener
a week ago certainly was a success
and there Is every reason 10 believe
that tonights will be just as good.
The maiffa bout is between Harry
Forbes aud Earl Denning. Forbes has
made a good showing in many ring
battles and Denning is no SLOUGH. He
was knocked out by Coulon a few
days ago. but suffered only temporary
inconvenience and is in the city now
full OF ginger and ambition.
The seminal tonight will have
Reddy Shores and Lew Glowney as
principals The boys have been rivals
for long time and as both are az
gressive men the bout should be as
lively as anybody could wish. In adj
dition Manager Ed Glassco will put on
a 15-minute wrestling bout and a
pugilstic opener between couple OF
fast lads.
For next Wednesday. the fans viii
have a chance To see two boys VINO
are cutting for themselves a big repu'

Baseball's wise men have never
agreed on how the pitcher can work
10 greatest advantage against batter
who hits TO certain field. Most bat
tiers are pronounced right or left field
hitters, which the pitchers know.
With this knowledge the problem Is
to pitch the kind of ball that will keep
the, batter from hitting safely. There
is where the wise ones disagree.
Manager Jim McGuire's theory is
that batter who hits 10 left field, or
vice versa, should be given the kind
of ball he finds hardest to connect
with. Left field hitters naturally hit
a ball over the inside corner. Right
field hitters hit ball over the out
side corner best This has been prov
en-. The Nap pitchers are instructed
TO keep the ball over the inside for
right field hitters, and over the out
side corner for left field hitters.

play exactly the other way.
