MUCH OPPOSITION
TO The Big Fight

London, Sept. 25.--Afthough the
worlds heavyweight championship Is
presumably at stake. the coming battle
between Champion Jack Johnson and
Bombardier Wells. the English title
holder, is not causing a great deal OF
excitement in sporting circles here.
Even the big purse Of $4,000, the
largest. ever given ror prize fight OUT
side Of the United States. has not
stirred the public 10 enthusiasm.
II opposition can be considered adj
vertisemcnt the fight has received such
from as widely divergent sources as
the sporting writer's and the pulpit.
Most of the pugilistic experts, writing
for the sporting papers, continue to
criticize Wells hackers for permitting
him to battle against the champion.
These writer's agree in describing
Wells as a promising but inexperienc-
ed tighter. and they deplore the blight
to his career which defeat at this
time would entail.
Rev. r. B. Meyer of Regents park
chapel has denounced the proposed
match from his pulpit as q brutal prize
fight which should be prevented by
the law which permits only boxing
contests in this country. He spoke of
Il in one sermon as a prize hght, and
said there should be enough christian
ity In this country TO make II tmpos-
sible. It was described, according to
the minister, as q great boxing contest.
because a prize fight was contrary to
the law; hut" he added, "the fact
that one Of the combatants Is a negro.
Johnson, who won the championship
Of the world in the sickening exhibit
ton of last year. and has to hold 1t
against the English champion. proves
that there IL no real difference be-
tween this contest and that OF last
year, which American opinion banish-
ed to the outskirts OF their civiliza-
ton"
Apparently unmoved by the opposi-
ton against their meeting, the cham
pion and challenger are hard at work

things easy, doing only enough work

Stall bars are today considered the
most practical piece of apparatus for a
real workout that can be secured In
gym class work each man is lined UP
to a bar, the principle is for a man to
work against himself using the bars as
toe and hand grip The bars are
built ladder shape, set upright side by
side. They take little space, each Is Of
solid piece and rarely ever need any
repair or attention.
The physical section committee has
for sometime been working on a policy
of equipment which will make for In
dividual exercise The first of these i'm
provements was the private bath room
equipped with shower and tub baths and
toilet facilities, all OF which now has
private entrance to the natatorium.
Next came the running track, which
has proved an excellent feature for In

The new equipment, which has al
ready been received are: Two twelve
pound Medart medicine balls, one new
polished steel horizontal bar, new
basket balls, indoor basketball, volley

Already some OF the gymnasium

The Fargo high school football team
opened the season by winning its first
game. Saturday afternoon at Athletic
park the Locals nunbled the Detroit
Mimi, high school eleven by a score Of
1s to 0. Three tcuchdowns and three
goals kicked tell the tale.
The game was not spectacular in the
least and both teams showed no ma
chime work At times the fumbling
was bad and the forward passes tried
by the opposing elevens were rarely
successful for the visitors, and Fargo
had just fair luck with their attempts
to throw the bah.
First Half.
Booth kicked the ball to Foster for
the opening Of the game and the De-
troit man returned 1t about twelve
yards before he was downed. Detroit
tried a forward pass, which failed and

EVANS IS
MIXED IN Fight

Cleveland, Sept. 25--over 1000 spec
tators swarmed on the field at the
conclusion OF the Cleveland Philadel-
phia game Sunday afternoon and more
or less participated in a fight in
which Nm. Evans, umpire, hit one
man, beat up another and was himself
handled rather roughly.
The spectators objected to Evans
calling a foul ball on Second Base

eighth inning and when he put Butch
err out Of the game in the ninth Tor pro-
testing after two strikes were called
ON him they became more aggravated.
When the game was over and Evans
walked toward the clubhouse, a man
1eered him, with an oath Evans says,
and Evans struck him. Evans again
started for the clubhouse and in front
of the entrance another man is said
to have cursed him.
Evans resented this with his fists
and soon there was a general scrin-
mage, which did not end even after
members OF the Cleveland and Phila-
deiphia teams bore the umpire inside
the clubhouse. The crowd surged
around the entrance demanding that
Evans come back. Several women
were in 1T and one was wedged SO
badly in the mass OF people that two
ball players had to rescue her and
carry her into the clubhouse.
Evans was not badly beaten. though
he complained Of pain in his back,

to round them into shape. The men

in the running. The former Is one of
the best field generals and passers that
