FODDER FOR

Mcfarland the Only Man Now
Who Has Chance With
WOlgaSt
JEFFRIES LOSES
OLD TINE POPULARITY

The New York sporting experts
who have been crying Cheese champ
ion." at Ad Wolgast, kept away from
their regular haunts today, while the
fight talent was loud in its praise of
the Michigan wild cat"
Wolgast's defeated OF Hogan in less
than two rounds last night proves
that the champion is now at his best
and so good an expert as Charlie
White said today the only man who
would have a chance with him in his
present condition is Packey McFar-
land.
He is the better man. / am going
back to the coast" was all that Hogan
had to say today.
Jim Jeffries realizes today how
much of popularity he has lost A
year ago when he attended a fight in
New York city the police reserves had
to be called out to get him to his
seat. Last night he saw the Wolgast-
Hogan fight. He stood for fifteen
minutes leaning against a post and
the only person to recognize him was
Bob Vernon. He sat in a ringside
box for the fight, and not person be-
sides the sporting writers spoke to
him.
Nike Gibbons, the clever st. Paul
fighter, will appear in another match
against Gus Christie, the Milwaukee
welterweight before the Badger A. c.
at Milwaukee. on May 5, it was an
nounced today.
Gibbons recently defeated the Mil
waukee fighter after the latter had
won eighteen straight battles.
Hugo Kelly and Cyclone Johnny
Thompson. the middleweights who
will meet in a ten round bout at
Racine tonight. broke off training to-
day, and from now on to the time Of
the fight will do only the lightest
work.

THE HALL OF FAME.

MARY LYON-Forerunner of

Pleasantville weekly press., 1911-10-18

ceived the idea of a permanent
seminary for girls. This was
received coldly, and she next
proposed an institution which
should give a thorough educa-
ton to girls of moderate means,
the plan being to divide house
hold tasks among all the stu
dents in such ways that they
would not interfere with school
duties. This proposal was re-
ceived with enthusiasm, money
was raised and the Mount Hol-
yoke seminary was started, Of
which Miss Lyon was made the
head for the rest of her life.
