Kelly's Manager Charges Oshkosh
Boxer With Breaking Promise.

Fond Du Lac, Wis Dec 14-Just
lat a time when the followers of Eddie
McGoorty, Oshkosh middleweight.
were beginning TO believe that their
idol was going into the ring with a
real fighter in the shape of Hugo Kcl-
ly OF Chicago, Silvie Ferretu. Kellys
manager. comes forth with the state
ment that McGoorty has no better
chance than any of the other middle
weights In getting the next bout with
his man.
Ferretti explains the situation thus
~; THE Fond du Lac club gave Nc
Goorty 80 per cent of the house for his
fight with Howard and gave us 20 per
cent. McGoorty was pounds over
weight and as balm. we felt that we
should have had an equal division. so
finally before the fight started, it was
agreed we were to get 30 per cent. the
additional 8 per cent coming 10 us
from the club and from McGoorty's
end. They decided to split the amount.
When the bout was over, the club. af-
ter a wrangle paid it's 2lA per cent, but
McGoorty refused TO kick in. In do
ing that McGoorty broke his agree
ment and so l do not intend to keep

him if he beat Howard
AS far as fighting before the Fond

fight there Kelly viii meet any one

j. OF M. STUDENTS
NOT INTERESTED
PRESENT GENERATION NOT
WORRYING OVER CONFER.
ENcE SITUATION-SCHE
ULE SATISFACTORY.

Ann Arbor, Mich. Dec. 14.-Has the
University of Michigan a Conference
question:
Judging from the columns on columns
Of bunk emanating from Ann Arbor,
relative to the conference and Michl-
CAMS attitude toward it, it would seem
that the question was a live issue on
the Michigan campus. AS a matter Of
fact the Michigan undergraduate body
composed almost entirely of new
generation of students since the Michi-
gan split with the western conference,
accepts the present athletic policy as
matter of fact, and the problem OF
whether Michigan should or should
not go back TO the fold" does not
bother the undergrads i'm the least.
Recently a group of senior students
stood back of movement To ascer-
tain the exact student sentiment i'm
regard to the alleged conference ques-
ton. A plan was published in the
Michigan Daily, the official student or
gan, whereby the Student Council Of
a.
in the middle of January for the for
NAL polling of a vote on a resolution
which read Resolved, that Michigan
go back to the western conference for
the years 1928 and 19t3-14." This
resolution was calculated to bring to a
head the issue which through the
channels of the press had been set
forth as a live controversy. Instead OF
acting on the suggestion the Student
Council apparently ignored ii. Nor
did the Athletic association of the
University of Michigan deem to take
any notice of the scheme. AS far asl
the undergraduate body was convened
the plan might as well never have been
suggested.
As to Michigan's present athletic
policy, it is i'm reality a standing pat
on the old question over which the
split with the conference was made. |
There was no denying that a few years
ago the withdrawal Of Michigan from
tile conference brought up an issue
that was a live one. But with a new
of students at the Wolver-
inc university, the question is not Of
such paramount interest as has been
pictured While Michigan would rel
ish a game with Minnesota, her foot
ball schedules, including games with
such eastern teams as Cornell and
are entirely satisfactory
10 the undergraduate body.

Chicago, H., Dec. 1i.--Retention OF
the 1911 style of open game will be
demanded b. Coach \. \. Stagg Of the
University of Chicago at the coming
meeting of the national football rules
committee i'm New York. The Midway
director will make a stand against i'm
portant changes in the statutes at the
preliminary gathering to be held De-
cember p in the east and will stick to
his forward pass regime when the

While no actual changes in the
rules viii be made this month a
of the regular rule makers
will hold a session after the National
association meeting.
when suggestions for changes will be
discussed.
Coach Stagg announced that he had
received a number of proposals for
new rules, most of which favor distinct
but that he believed the
l911 game had proved it's value and
would not be materially doctored.
The abolition of the forward pass
ma increasing OF the number Of downs
n ten yards, and the decrease i'm the
distance to be gained on three downs,
IRE the most important suggestions
Stagg has received.
He declared that the forward pass
would not be dropped and said he
would have several minor changes re-
carding this feature to introduce. He
links the pass has earned a right to
mother year OF service at least and
hat the next season will bring the
astern coaches 10 the same opinion.

and weighing close to 800 pounds. the
.colored heavy weight champion Of the
world has sailed from Liverpool, Eng
land, for America. 1t is not Of his
own volition he is making the home
ward trip. The serious sickness Of his
wife, who is dangerously IN with tu-

possible.

effect did not reach his friends in the

are at loss to explain the action.
Those who have stuck by Johnson

in him. At every place where the
colored people congregate little groups
of the champions admirers gathered

Postal Inspector Adam Il. Otto of
Marquette was i'm Laurium Yesterday
In connection with the establishment
of free delivery for the residents of
Laurium. After the matter was gone
over thoroughly however, it was de-
cided to do no further work until after

those connected with the Laurium Of

present rush, without the arranging OF
the free delivery details.
Mr. Otto was called To the 500 on
an important mission and left yester-
day afternoon for Marquette from

to Be Beneficial.
Calumet and Laurium spor' smen are
deeply interested in the movement now
on foot to bring about a thorough re-
vision of the game laws of the state.
Although they were not represented at
the meeting held this week at Mar
Puette To consider suggestions rela-
tive to changes, It was not because
they consider the present avs salts
factory. and the rod and gun clubs of
calumet will do their utmost to CO.
operate with the committees named to
recommend changes.
The game law revision committee
was appointed by the upper peninsula
association only after the list Of avail
aole men had been informally gone
over by all present at Tuesdays
meeting, and IL Is believed that no
-FOUR men better fitted for the work I'm
hand could have been selected. Mr.

Tee and of the association, is the sec

familiarity with the inside workings Of
the legislature and the drawing I'M Of
Dills thai will stand the tests of the
courts, should make him valuable
member Of the committee. DR. Hubbard
formerly resided in Maine, where he
took an active interest i'm game pro-
'ectlon and is said to be responsible
as much as any man for the excellent
game law now on the statute books
Oh that state. He is also deeply in
terested in the Michigan game laws.
Mr.. Douglass is an Ironwood newspa-
per man who is thoroughly familiar
with conditions in the western end of
the peninsula. He is an enthusiastic
sportsman and is experienced in the
political game, which is an important
factor when it comes to the passage
of desired legislation.
Efforts will be put forth to show
that the upper peninsula sportsmen
are actuated only by a desire to prom
ogate and perpetuate the game i'm this
section. Laws of Other states will be
studied carefully and all of the changes
asked of the legislature will be sup
ported by sound arguments based on
experience and scientific research The
work OF the central committee and of
the subcommittee men will be given
wide publicity in the press and in ev-
cry other way, and an earnest attempt
VIII be made to learn the wishes of the
people of the state as whole. IL is
probable that public meetings viii be
held in all the upper peninsula coun-
ties at which the subject of game law
legislation will be given general dis
cus5ion.

THE GENTLEMAN.
Robert E. Lees Definition of the Quail.
ties That Make Him.

Lee hated parade, display and cere-
mony, hated above all things being
made an object of public gaze and
adulation. His idea of high position
was high responsibility, a superior was
simply one who had larger duties, and
the mark of gentleman was keen
sense of the feelings and susceptible
ties of others. No one has ever ex-
pressed this attitude more delicately
than he himself in this memorandum
found among his papers after his
death:
1.-THE forbearing use of power does
not only form a touchstone, but the
manner in which an individual enjoys
certain advantages over others is q
test of true gentleman. The power
which the strong have over the weak,
the magistrate over the citizen, the
employer over the employed, the edu-
Gated over the unlettered, the expert
enced over the coniiding, even the
clever over the silly-the forbearing or
inOffensive use of all this power or au-
thority or q total abstinence from il
when the case admits IL, will show the
gentleman in a plain light. The gen
tleman does not needessly and unnec-
essarily remind an offender OF a wrong
he may have committed against him.
He cannot only forgive; he can forget.
and he strives for that nObleness OF
self and mlldness OF character which
impart sufficient strength to let the
past be but the past. A true man of
honor feels humbled himself when he
cannot help humbling others."-Gama-
llel Bradford, Jr., in Atlantic.
