ATHLETIC NOTES.

The Navy undoubtedly has a basket
ball team this year that will be In the
running for the intercollegiate champion.
ship That II to 13 victory over Gettys-
burg Saturday put them among the top
notchers 1t will be shame II the
sailors do not meet Columbia and some
of the other big ffves. as it is sure
thing they would not suffer by the CON-
parison, and What will surely be con-
troversy would be thereby settled.
There is no branch Of athletics in
which q coach has to exercise more
vigilance than in track. Besides having
to correct every little fault of each iridi-
vidual, such as the swinging of the arm
in slightly awkward manner. the car
riage OF the head and shoulders or q
failure to make the hips do the proper
amount of work. he is constantly in
danger of having some man on whom
he depends for points go stale. A man
is more likely to go stale on the track
than anywhere else. The long four
gets mighty monotonous to q runner, and
If at any period he does the least bii
too much work the result is that he
goes stale and is thrown back about
three weeks in his training. Constant
watching is necessary in developing a
track team, especially in the early stages
of the training, and 1t is this that causes
the failure of more than one man who
undertakes to- teach youngsters how to
run.
George Washington's failure to send a
representative to the intercollegiate
meeting in New York for the first time
would cause 1t to seem that that tnsti-
tuition is gradually ceasing to pay atten-
ton to the cause OF athletics. Whether
this has any bearing on the foot -.
policy for next year remains to be seen.
1t is to be hoped that the Hatchetites
will have q foot ball team next fall. IL
they are not represented on the gridiron

LITTLE TO MANAGE
JACK JOHNSON AGAIN
Court Battle Over Diamond
Ring May Be Cause of
Reconciliation.

CHICAGO, January 6.-There is a pos
sibility that a reconciliation between Jaci
johnson, heavyweight champion, and his
former manager. George Little, will bt
effected before the negro champion leaves
for the coast next week. During the sui
which Little brought egainst the cham
pion for the recovery Of a diamond rims
valued at $1,000, and which went into ths
hands Of the jury late yesterday after.
noon, Johnson and Little talked on friend.
sion the fighter and his former manager
left the building together to talk over the
situation.
Although johnson would not affirm OF
deny the report which was current in the
municipal court building that he had
again become reconciled with his former
manager, close friends of the champion
are of the opinion that Little will iool
after the affairs of the champion in the
future. Little also refused to discuss the
matter.
No Worry Over Case.
While the attorneys were arguing In
defense Of their clients. neither Johnson
nor Little seemed to show any concern
as to what the verdict would be, and
both talked in an apparently friendly
manner. AS the jury left the room John.
son and Little left the building In COM
pany with court attaches and friends.
johnson denied that any negotiations
have been gong on between himself and
Billy Pierce, Boston fight promoter.
wherein the latter is to act as the fight
er's manager. The champion said he
knows Pierce, and that he would make
q good manager. but declared there was
no chance for the eastern man.
The suit for the ring was featured by
many humorous incidents, with the fight
er acting in the chief role of jester. In
yesterdays session the champions moth
er. Mrs. Tiny Johnson. and his sister.
Mrs. jamie Rose. took the stand in the
fighters defense, and during the cross
examination Jack took occasion to get
mixed into the question. which brought
some sharp rebuffs from Judge Goodnow
Each Side Confident.
After instructing the jury. the court
said that If verdict was reached 1t was
to be sealed. Each side is confident of
winning the suit, which has been pending
ever since the two broke negotiations
while Johnson was training for his fight
with Jeffries.
johnson will leave for the coast next
week to fill several theatrical dates and
will be gone until the latter part of
April, when he will return and sail for
England. The champion has made ar
rangements to have his automobiles ship
ped to the coast. Jack will take Fighting
Bob Moha, the Milwaukee scrapper. with
him to take part in several fights.

Importance of Details,

Spare no pains in collecting details
before you geperalize; it is only when
details are generalized that truth IL
grasped. The tendency to generalize
is universal with all men who achieve
great success, whether in art, liter
allure, or action The habit of gener.
alizing, though at first gained with
care and caution, secures by practice
a comprehensiveness of judgment, and
a promptitude of decision which seem
to a crowd like the intuitions OF
genius. And, indeed. nothing more
distinguishes the man Of genius from
the mere man of talent than the facul.
ty of generalizing the various details.
each of which demands the aptitude
of a special talent, but all of which
can only be gathered into a single
whole by the grasp OF a mind which
may have no special aptitude for any.

RESPONSIVE to call by the pres
ident, congress met in extraordinary
session on Tuesday, the message as
transmitted by President Taft re-
garding the call giving the con-
sideration of the Canadian recipro-
city treaty as the object OF the ses-
sion. With democratic house and
a democratic voice on joint ballot,
it is improbable the reciprocity idea
will receive more favorable action
than was accorded it during the
last session, the opponents of the
measure being backed strictly by
the farm contingent of the country
as whole.

TOUCHING upon the Mexican Sit
uation, the St. Paul Daily News asks
and answers most important ques-
ton thus:
"Why has the American army nd
navy been used by President Taft
in attempt to put down the insur-
rection in Mexico?
S. Pierson & Son, incorporated, is
the largest single financial interest
in Mexico. Henry w. Taft, brother
of Pres. Taft, is director in S. Pier
son & Son, incorporated.
Atty. Gen. Wickersham, before
entering the cabinet, was a director
in the American Hawaiian Co.. a
corporation holding immense con.
tracts for the transportation of raw
sugar which comes from Hawaii tn
feed the refneries of the sugar
trust, and which crosses the cont.
nent at the isthmus of Tehuantepec.
S. Pierson & Son, Incorporated, own
the Tehuantepec railway.
Atty. Gen. Wickersham left posi-
ton as general council for MORGAN
& Co., to enter the Taft cabinet
Morgan & Co., are the fiscal agents
for the bonds issued by the Diaz
regime in Mexico.
Atty. Gen. Wickersham was lav
partner in the firm of Strong, Cad.
wallader & Co., in New York. .of
which Henry w. Taft was a partner
and which represents immense
financial interests in Mexico.
Why has Pres. Taft loaned the
army and the navy to sustain the
lettering regime of Diaz?" .s
