Messrs. Philip Bertrand, L. w
Quick and Herbert M. Johnson, OF
st. Louis, arrived in the city yester'
day to make an inspection of the
electric light plant of the Mitchell
Power Co. The gentlemen are the
representatives of the bondholders OF
the company. They spent yesterday
and a portion of today in looking ov,
er the plant, which Mr.. Quick said
they found was fast getting on 8
basis where it will Don furnish Nit
chell people a good service. "Ir

better service here than we r get

Mr.. Quick stated it was the desire
of the bondholders and the members
of the local company to put the PLAN
in such shape that there will be NJ
reason why Mitchell people should
not have the very best kind of ser

Recently a local horseman was
quoted as saying that he intended to
take an interest in the Arabian horse,
to make a study of II and possibly 20
buy an Arabian stallion in the hope
TO getting a better breed of trotters
That he would make mistake IL he
were to become deeply interested In
the Arabian horse, the history OF the
foreign bred eqine proves.
For thirt wears there have been
horsemen who would go back to the
foundation blood of the trotting and
running horse in the hope of produc-
ing an improvement in the horse OF
the present time. In every case re-
suits have proven that each attempt
turned out failure.
The first man to try ii was Ralph
Huntington, who, having substantial
backing, brought to America quite a
number of Arabian steeds. His ef-
forts resulted in a gigantic failure.
Even more disastrous was the ven
ture of Basil Duke of Lexington, KY,
who some time afterward imported
a lot of Arabian horses and went into
financial ruin.
These failures dampened the ardor
Of horsemen for the Arab equine to
some extent SO that within the last
twenty years Homer Davenport, car
toonist and horse enthusiast, is the
first man to kneel before the Ara
bian. II he has produced anything OF
merit no one has ever heard Of it.

LaVOff BetterS the
Hope of White Race

According to an itinerary which
Jack Johnson has given out. the cham.
pion evidently has no intention OF ap-
bearing In the ring in any important
engagement for year or more SO
,ong as he can make spending money
out OF his theatrical engagements he
does not propose to fight. OF course,
there does not appear to be any one In
sight who stands q chance with John
son Just now, but IL he were losing
his Rttractiveness as a theatrical star
il would not take him long to get busy.
But there is no great anxiety TO get
Johnson into a fight just yet. The pub
lie would like to see him and Sam
Langford settle their differences. per
haps, but with the average follower OF
the game there does not seem to be
any doubt as to the outcome of such
a battle, only that IL would show how
good a man Langford is.
To. have johnson lay off for another
year gives additional hope to those
who are anxious to have him de
throned In the meantime some oil
those white hopes" may develop, and
certain Il Is that Johnson will not I'M
prove.
Because of the easy manner In
which he has disposed of all his op-
ponents and the fact that he Is a giant
in every way, Carl Norris looks to be
the one best bet to be pointed for a
meeting with Johnson, but that must
not be hurried. Il will take some time
to develop the Oklahoma fighter for a
championship battle, and the more
time he is given to develop the better
his chances.

Arabian Horse Fails
To Improve Runners

II is true that the foundation blood
o. the thoroughbred in England and
transplanted to America was an
Arabian horse. That same Arabian
stallion, known as Godolphin Arabian
is also the foundation of the trottilg
family. II took 200 years to go from
the first Arabian to the height of
our first-bred running horse and ESQ
years from our Arabian foundation
TO our first-bred trotting horse.
in those days the Arabian was a
much better animal than the Arabian
of today, because he has been inbred
TO such ali extent that his usefulness
through the last five years has been
lost.
What made our great trotters was
the mixture of blood. When the
Arabian went to England he met an
entirely different line of running
blood. When he came to America he
met different line of trotting ard
pacing blood with the result that
there was an Improvement in the
breed. II was the upbuilding because
of the radical change. 1t has often
been said that what has made Ameri-
cans great and strenuous has been
through the mixture of blood and the
infusion Of new blood. The same ap-
plies to the horse.
Perhaps IL man wanted to start
new family for horses with the
Arabian blood as its foundation, in
$50 years he would get a trotter.

Students Believe That Team Will Be

Autumn.
BY LOREN ROBINSON.

ANN ARBOR, Jan. 24.-Bartelme
the sphinx OF the University OF Mich
gan Athletic association, returned
from his trip to the wilds OF the Is
land OF Boolo. Sunday. He was per
fectly willing when cornered in his
den, to talk of the weather, the tar

ever that name was mentioned, tn
director assumed the expression tina,
has won for him the title Of Sphinx
and became silent. There was nothing
doing as far as Bartelme was concern
cd. although he was willing to tel
where he had been.
The east was the promised land that
the chief visited and IL is not doubt
ed that he went In search OF rival
tribes to meet the mighty warriors oi
the Wolverines. Princeton was visiC
cd by Bartelme as were several OF the
other eastern schools. But what the
east and the west framed up is un
known. Bartelme says that he may
announce something within q few days
and merely smiles when asked re
garding the 1911 football schedule.
From all the dope that can be gath
cred on the subject II looks like the
Tigers would find place on the book
ings for Ferry field next fall. Michi'
gan has warm spot in the hearts OF
the Princetonians, due to her old train
er, Keene Fitzpatrick. "Fitz" has made
good in the east and he has aided
Michigan materially In improving her
standing among the schools in that
section.
II is known that Princeton is will
ing to play the Wolverines and that
the only thing that has kept her from
arranging contest Is that she already
has her usual number OF games SEIZED
uled. Bartelme has been east before
and he has declared that the Tigers
were favorable, hence the supposi-
tons.
Michigan wants a game for Satur-
day after Thanksgiving and she also
wants a contest TO replace Notre
Dame. There have been rumors tina.
one of these games would be with a
western school, but Bartelme has not
gone west but east, and II appears
that the best possibilities are locat-
ed there. With Princeton, a settled
number for one of the games. the
tasl, OF securing Brown or Amherst
or any other smaller college would
be easy. II would not pay Michigan
to bring two small teams to Ann Ar
Dor nor would 1t be feasible for the
Wolv erines to play them on their
home grounds. Michigan must have
one more big game in order to make
her schedule a success and the smil
ing countenance of Bartelme leads
one to believe that he has secured

w allace Says
Jones Is Good

What would the fans say IL Tom
Jones, the ancient coal digger, should
guard the initial cushion for the
Browns when the curtain is rung up
on the American league show next
April? After having an overdose oil
Absteins. Rossmans, Newnams and
Grahams, it's almost moral certain
ty that the baseball populace would be
tickled green TO see Tom back on the
job. Well, anyhow, Hughie Jennings
recently asked for waivers on Tee,
and il is generally understood that
Col. Hedges and Jim McAleer refused
to waive. jennings then withdrew
the first sacker.
Manager Bobby Wallace says any
manager could go farther and fare
much worse than to acquire Jones for
first base duty. That's an annual
affair. this stunt of asking for waiv'
ers on Tom" said Wallace, Friday
after he had finished his daily bill
lard match at Charley Petersons
emporium. Tom wouldn't know how
to act unless these stories about his
retirement were published every
spring. But you will realize that
Jones Is back on the job every year
playing his same old game. Tom
isn't a wonder. but he's as steady as
a clock, and Jennings is probably kid
ding when he asked for waivers. You
can rely on the tip that Jones won't
be allowed to get out of the American
league. | know OF one club that will
put in a claim every time waivers are
asked on Tom; but just rest assured
that he will again play for Detroit

Ordeman's superior strength IL

Zbyszko could not get under Orde-

was 235 pounds, while Ordeman only
stripped at 208. AS for size OF the
opposing wrestlers IL looked like an
unevenly balanced affair, but the rec
ord of the match, hold by hold, shows
that Ordeman was more than the
equal OF the Polander. AS this is
the first time the men have met, 1t
is expected that a finish battle will
be arranged later. In this case Orde-
man would be the favorite IN the
gambling, as he was in far better

II looks very much like there had

wrestling in Detroit. The Light Guard
armory was filled completely last
night when Henry, Ordeman tackled

home perfectly satisfied. Two matches

Athletic club and there has been no

Therefore, those who like to see good,

the advantage over Zbyszko most OF

a fall in one and one-half hours.

last night.
The big fellows set about their
business without delay and had been
on the mat only few minutes when
the crowd cut loose. After that there

were no falls, but the spectators saw

hold of any possibility whatever.

later he had grown into the light
weight class and he annexed the Eng.

the old London prize-fght rules. The
two men were in the ring four hours
