knew nothing about it until he read the
San Francisco papers this morning.
Jeffries will meet Johnson in a twenty
four-fO0t arena, but the formers train
ing ring is not more than seventeen feet
square inside the ropes. Its size, how
ever, is regarded as inconsequential. as
Jeffries is expected to prepare for a
bruising fight and rough and tumble work
from the start.
Photographers had their first real in

ALLOW SCHOOL ATHLETES
TO PLAY WITH "PROS."

Ann Arbor. Mich. April S.-But one
change was made in the rules Of attn
letics in the state preparatory schools at
the meeting OF the Michigan SchOOlmas-
ters' club. The clause which prevented a
high school athlete from competing
against team on which a professional
played was eliminated
The change was not intended as a
display of leniency ON the part of the
club, but il was pointed out that the
rule was a severe one inasmuch as in the
smaller cities the high school athletes
were prevented from engaging IN a game
of baseball during the summer for the
reason that some member of an oppos-
ing team had at some time or other
played professional ball.
The minimum penalty for q violation
of any of the interschotastic rules was
fixed at suspension for a year

hundreds Of other selfrespecting

for the sake of the fair fame OF

they repudiate responsibility for

crepe, with a card attached,
signed "Edgefeld Mothers"
Coming as it did just after the
supreme court decided that Sen.
ator and Mrs Tillman were not
entitled to the two little child.
rem of their son, the whole affair
Was in miserable taste and even
the warmest sympathizers oil
young Mrs Tillman heartily dis
approved of the intended slur,
especially the fippant mockery
of its form.
The card published in the
Edgefeld Chronicle, signed by
an Edgefeld mother, follows:
Dear Mr. Editor:-In your last
weeks issue you had a news
item which l wish you to cor
rect. l refer to the sending of a
wreath of hyacinths and crepe
to Senator Tillmar. This is pos.
itively untrue, so far as the "Mo-
theirs of Edgeheld" are concern
ed. If such a thing has been
done it came from some ire
sponsible source. The unwar-
ranted use of the names of
Edgefeld's mothers is serious
indeed. / hope the whole thing
is a mistake. However, as the
item has gone out, please fol-
low it with the indignant denial
of the Christian motherhood of
Edgefeld.
