up ana across the face of his adver-
sary that is tantaliZing, to say the
least With q boxer who knows his
business this stunt would be a difficult
one to pull and get away with.
Fight fans in this neck of the woods
want classy exhibitions and clamOr
loudly for the stars. If the boxing
commissioners would make themselves
more popular, and incidentally put the
game on a basis where the state would
derive a much larger revenue from the
gate receipts, their first step should
be to remove the gag from the referees.
That idea of prohibiting decisions is
one huge joke. and keeps many a good
boxer away from New York for fear
of getting the worst of it. A-boxing
contest without decision makes as
much of a hit with fight fans as horse
racing without betting among follow
ers of the turf

TEXAS AGGIES GET
INTO ASSOCIATION
Election to Membership Is
Considered Victory Over
State University

San Antonio, Tex. Dec. 23.-By being
elected to membership in the Southern
Intercollegiate Athletic associa ton. the
Texas Agricultural and Mechanical col
lege has scored a victory over the
Texas university, its greatest rival.
This election insures the Texas Farm
ers' games with Vanderbilt. Sewanee
and other great universities Of the
south and each game will count in
the matter Of determining the all
southern championship.
Coach Moran, whose dismissal the
Texas university demanded If athletic
relations were to be resumed, will be
retained by the A. & NJ. He is already
looking over likely material at the col
lege. Moran also trains the baseball
team at the college, thus giving him
employment during the scholastic year.
During the baseball season proper he

The A. & NJ college schedule will
include games with Vanderbilt Sew

Frank Furlong. a well known

and I enjoyed them immensely. The
very best people Of New York attend
these bouts. along with some OF the
rOugher element but in the big clubs
the patrons are among the best people
IN the city, and some Of them attend in
JUL dress suits.
Promoters are to Blame.
In Memphis, Tenn, the patrons at
one Of the boxing shows raised an aW-
tut hOWBabOut what they termed a rot
ten contest between Joe Jeanette. who
aspires to Jack JohnsOn's crown, and a
young negro middleweight. known in
that section as Young Jack Johnson"
Jeanette simply played with the, man
and put him TO sleep in the fourth
round, although he could have done so
in the first had he desired. The pro-
mOters were the ones to blame for the
miserable contest and not the princi-
pals, for they must have known that
man OF Young Jack JOhnsOn's class
would stand absolutely no show against
q clever boxer like Jeanette. It IS Just
such kind OF matches that hurt the box
ing game, and If promoters would be "a
little more careful in arranging their
cards they would keep the sport on
higher plane and at the same time
bring more money to their own peck
cts.

Disappointed Dipsomaniacs!

After securing a number of Gus
toners for his goods-rumor says
there were about fifty-the smooth
salesman left town. Soon after his
departure neat boxes marked with
the word vinegar" in plain letters
and addressed to various citizens of
the village, arrived by express, col
lect. AS each happy investor re-
ceived his little box he joyfully hied
himself to the nearest convenient
place where he could open the box
and sample its delectable contents.
On being opened each box reveal
ed four sngly packed quart bottles
filled with an amber fluid the sight
of which brought joy to the heart
of its happy recipient. Tenderly
removing one of the bottles from
its snug quarters in the box its own
er would notice that the label on the
bottle also said vinegar" but that
label didn't fool him for one min
ute. He knew what was in it. So
he would carefully remove the cork,
apply the bottle to his yearning lips
and tip back his head to refresh
himself with a good long swig of
the Oh, be joyful.
But the first swallow of the an
ticipated nectar would bring about
sad disappointment. With gasp
the bottle would be removed from a
pair of wildly spluttering lips and
sulphurous odor would begin to
permeate the neighboring atmos-
phere as an earnestly profane indi-
vidual emphatically stated his pre-
else opinion of that smooth talking
vinegar salesman. For the sales
man had told the exact truth, the
vinegar" was vinegar and he had
sent his customer four quart bottles
of it for a dollar.
| 1t is said that there are q number
of Clio residents who are ashamed
to look a pickle in the face and have
sworn off on The use of vinegar in
any form. In fact the mere men
tion of the word vinegar" in their
hearing is sod to throw them into
! spasms of junholy wrath, in which
! they make dircful threats about
what they will do to that many ad-
ljcctived salesman If he ever comes
back to Clio.
