WHEN A MAN MARRIES.

(From the Streator Independently
The other day when Max Murdoch,
one of the most prominent young at
torneys of this city, while attending
to some legal matters at The county
seat. requested the court TO postpone
a certain case in which he is interest
ed, the judge demanded the reason
why.
Well" said Max, there isn't any
thing in the law of this state or even
the United States Supreme Court to
really justify the action. but there is
an old law which antidates all Of
these. The one | refer TO is the old
Jewish law, and is found in the book
of Deuteronomy and reads: When
man hath taken a new wife he shall
not go away TO war. neither shall he be
charged with any business, but he
shall he free at home one year, and
shall cheer up the wife he hath TAX

PURDUE BEGAN
INIRA COLLEGE

Lafayette, Ind, Jan. 24-Purdue
Universitys athletic authorities and
the student body in general are not
disposed to look with favor upon the
announcement made at the University
of Chicago that ra-cOllege athlet-
les have been adopted there as a new
departure to be followed by other coll
leges in the middle west AS a matter
of fact, Purdue established intra-co
lege games more than four years ago,
and now has the system on practical
basis as we'll founded as its inter-
collegiate sports.
Athletic Director Hugh Nicol is the
originator of intra college athletics at
Purdue and was the first athletic d.
rectors in the west to adopt the sys-
tenn. Four. years ago he decided to
inaugurate the system of class teams.
and Purdue now has class football,
baseball, basketball, and track athlet-
les. Every class has it's team in all
four branches of sport and each sea-
son regular schedule is carried out
with the rivalry between the different
class teams almost as strong as that
in intercollegiate contests.
Purdue was the pioneer in intra-
college athletics and the announcement
made at Chicago has caused no little
criticism here. The. students feel that
it is due Athletic Director Nicol to in
form the public concerning the real

BECKLEY FAVORS
PRESENT RULES
GIANT STAR WOULD NOT MOVE
THE PITCHERS BOX UP NEARER
THE RATTER-sAYs 1T WOULD
BE IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE THE
BASEBALL.

Jake Beckley, who was star when
he played first for the giants ten years
ago, has a few ideas of his own about
reforming baseball. and to his way of
thinking the game is just as good now
as it can be.
The question Of moving the pitcher
ten feet closer to the batter came up at
little tanning bee, when Jake re-
marked:
Nothing to this moving the pitcher
up. When I broke into the game, and
that was some years ago, believe me,
the pitcher stood forty seven feet from
the batter, instead of sixty two, as he
does today, That was when Amos
Rusie, the speediest of all speed mar
vels in the slab business, was in his
prime, and he certainly could speed
them some.
1T was almost impossible to see the
ball when it came over the plate
Rusie was the speediest pitcher 1 ever
saw.
IF they should move the pitcher ten
feet closer now it would be all but an
impossibility to hit such men as Wal
ter Johnson of the Washington club.
Johnson probably is the speediest
pitcher in baseball today. He wins all
his games by using his speed. He adj
mits this publicly and laugh at the
batters who are fooled by it. Move
this man ten feet closer to the batter
and see what happens. They will not
be able to see the ball at ALL
IF they should make this change
many of the Cobbs and Wagners would
finish the season each year with marks
Of .210 instead of $50. There would
not be even as good averages as these
If there were more Johnsons.
'If they want to increase batting and
the number of runs they had better not
move the pitcher closer. They had bet
ter put him back further. Curves have
nothing to do with it when they are
closed. 1t is speed that counts. 1t is
a whole lot easier to hit curves as we
hit them today than to hit speed with
the pitcher forty-five or fifty feet from
the plate"

state Of affairs. They say that Chicago
Is simply following the footsteps Of
Purdue and cannot claim credit for
any innovation in this case. Purdue's
system Of interclass games has stood
the test Of time, and has grown
stronger every season.
Recently the University of Minnesota
wrote here for information concerning
the interclass teams, intending to
adopt the plan at the gohper institu-
ton. Minnesota asked particularly
about the arrangement of the athletic
field so that the different classes may
have their games without interfering
with the varsity teams. Purdue has
solved this problem by charging Stu
art field and providing a football grid
iron and baseball diamond for each
class team.
Athletic Director Nicols main pur-
pose in establishing interclass games
was to give more students opportuni-
ty to participate in athletic games and
also to develop men for the varsity
teams. The value of the system Of in
ra-college athletics here is best shown
by the fact that every member Of the
lJLl DdSGUtAiA LtdIAL AbAiAEAAy PA"S9 VA va
a class team, and the same is true Of
the basketball team. Both of these
teams are among the best in the mid
die west. Sometimes sophomore, jun
ior and even senior class teams fur
nish material for the varsity teams.
These teams develop a player until he
Is ready for varsity work.
At the present time Purdue has
strong class teams in every branch of
sport. Athletic Director Nicol gives
each team as much personal attention
as he can and coaches are appointed
to drill the different teams. The class
basketball teams are now playing their
schedule with the freshmen in the lead,
closely followed by the sophomores
Trophies are awarded the winners in
the different interclass league and the
classes themselves provide uniforms,
jerseys and other supplies for their
respective teams.
The fact that Purdue was the pio-
neer in this work and that the system
has been so successfully established
here makes the athletic management
feel some astonishment over Chicago's
claim. No other college or university
in the country has intra collegiate
games on such a substantial basis as
Purdue has, and the success of the sys-
TEN here has made it certain that 1t
will be continued.

ROW WITH JONES

Cadillac, Mich, Jan. 24.-There will
be no break between A. Wolgast,
lightweight champion, and Tom Jones,
his manager, according to the former
assertions today. Reports have been
current that the two would separate
because of Wolgast signing for three
short bouts. "I will cancel or postpone
my dates before Jack O'Brien's Phila-
delphia club if Manager Jones. insists"
said the Michigan fighter. There is a.
provision in my contract with OBrTen
that if am not in shape to fight box
ers of big caliber by next month the
dates are to be deferred.
Manager Jones only objection to
my signing for the three six-round
bouts is that he does not think 1 will
be in shape to do myself justice. I will
follow his advice. Mr.. Jones will con-
tinue to manage me-" concluded the
lightweight champion.

$4,000 goes not only for forfeit and
side bet against Kaufman, but if he
welches win keep it posted at a 2-1
bet for George Cotton to cover, with
the condition that If can't put him
out within ten rounds he gets the

johnson seems to be in earnest. He
declared he must put an end to the
talk about his refusing to meet this or
that fighter before he sails on his tour

his closing exhibition at local theatre
tonight he will leave for Chicago, and
a week later start for California. After
several weeks there he will board the

english AGAINST
KIDNEY PUNCH

New York. Jan. 2t.-The crusade
against the kidney blow, which started
in England directly after the Welsh
DriscoIl battle, has reached such a
stage that It is highly probable Eng
lish referees in the future win be in
structed to disqualify pugilists who
use the alleged unfair blow.
There Is much opposition to the kid
ney blow in this country, too. although
fight promoters have not yet taken up
the matter.
The Queensberry rules call for a
fair stand-up boxing match, which
would seem to indicate when the code
was drawn up the kidney punch had
not come into use. In England is IL
argued that this blow is contrary to
the letter and spirit Of the rules and.
therefore, a clear foul. IL is contended
that when boxers get into half clinch
and one OF them, with the free hand,
pounds his opponents in the small OF
the back, the milling manifestly IS
unfair and does not produce a fair test
of boxing ability.
Kidney punches have been preva-
lent in many championship battles in
this country, though 1t may be said the
little fellows employ such tactics more
than the big men. This method OF az
sault has been pronounced injurious
by many physicians, and also has been
denounced by ring followers who pre-
fer cleancut work II is said the kid
ney punches Battling Nelson received
from the late Joe Cans at Goldheld
affected him internally and so weak
ened him that he developed a nervous
ailment which had much to do with
his defeat at the hands of Wolgast a
year ago.
