ALL LOOK GOOD
WHEN FAR AWAY
IN "YE OLDER TYNE" EVENTS
CAME OFF AS ANNOUNCED;
NOW ONCE IN TWENTY
SIX TIMES.

In ye olden TYNE when a certain pu-
ting was 100 TO 1 the fight would come
off as per schedule.
Today an announcement of fight is
worth as much as an explorers state
ment that he discovered something,
says the Detroit News. When a fight
manager has nothing else to do
which of course, is very often-he
wires the press that his boy has prac-
tically been matched with Kid So-and-
So to fight for the championship of the
world. This is the last the public ever
hears of the match.
When the first announcement is for
gotten another one comes along. A
liberal estimate is one real fight out
of 26 announcements Announcements
don't care who make 'em. The fight
ing game will soon develop into a Sc
ries of challenges and reports, with
an actual battle taking place here and

PRINCETON GAME
NEARLY CERTAIN
MICHIGAN GRlDlRoN WARRIORS
WILL NOT LACK WORTHY OP-
PoNENTs FOR NEY-
SEASON.

Ann Arbor Mich, Jan. 2S.--A foot
ball game between the University Of
Michigan and Princeton university the
coming fall is regarded as a certainty
here today following the return of Ath-
letic Director Bartelme from the east.
The Wolverine head is said to have
all but closed negotiations for the
game. The date for the battle is Nov.
20 on Princeton's grounds.
Besides the Princeton game, Bartel-
me is said to have arranged for a game
with Brown. and is said TO have come
10 an agreement with Pennsylvania
whereby the Wolverines are sure of
meeting the Quakers annually for
many years TO come.
1t is also said that a game will be
played next fall between the Wolver-
ines and the Cornhuskers, but it is yet
impossible to make any definite an
nouncement concerning this contest IL
this game is played, il will make eight
contests for Michigan. one game more
than has been played for several years.
The Princeton and Pennsylvania games
win undoubtedly prove the big head
liners, and If the Brown game is Sc
cured, the Wolverines will have the
hardest schedule in years.
Coach Yost is very well pleased with
the outlook at the present time as ev-
idenced by the following statement:
I'VE are going 10 have a far stronger
schedule than If we played every team
in the conference. Where is there a
strong team i'm the conference. any
now? Minnesota ran through the
whole bunch like water through
sieve and YOU know what we did TO
Minnesota. l am not worrying the
least bit about games. The only trou-
bile is that there are so many that we
are having a hard time choosing them.
We will have a schedule all right and
good one. and don't you forget IT,"
The success of Michigan's athletic
manager in securing big games in the
east will likely silence all talk Of the
Wolverines returning to the big
Eight"

MAKE PLANS FOR
FAIR THIS YEAR
MEETING OF UPPER PENINSULA
FAIR ASSOCIATION MAY BE
HELD IN lAURlUM
SOON.

II is altogether likely that a meeting
of the Upper Peninsula Fair Associa-
citation, which was organized in Lau-
rum little over one year ago, will
be held i'm the near future to make
plans for the first annual exhibit to be
held next fall. While an attempt was
made to arrange for a fair last year,
it was found that the conditions were
not propituous and plans were drop
ped. This year, however II is almost
certain that a fair will be conducted
on a mammoth scale and will
eclipse anything heretofore attempted
in Northern Michigan.
As it requires several months TO
arrange for fair which will be as
comprehensive as the one proposed.
those who are interested i'm the move
mcnt propose to commence work at
once. a meeting probably will be
held some time next week, at which
time the preliminary plans will be
outlined and later a general meeting
of al the members of the society Will
be called at which work will be
started. II is likely that literature
will he distributed among the farmers
Of Houghton. Baraga and Keweenaw
counties, informing them Of the plans
so that they may raise special exhib-
its. II is desirable that this informa-
tion should be i'm the hands of the
farmers before the time of the spring
planting.
There is little doubt that if it Is
decided TO conduct the fair, an at
tempt will be made to boost the MEM
bcrship of the association.
The business men of Calumet and
Laurium are deeply interested in the
fair project and their co-operation
In every possible way is practically
assured. 1T is likely that buildings
designed especially for fair purposes
viii be erected at the Laurium Driv-
ing park and that the Palestra will
be used for the general exhibits.

The new Syracuse Stadium has been

The majority of the colleges would un-
doubtedly prefer either the Harvard

RENT PALACE FOR
 A BUSINESS PLACE

New York, October 29.-The palatial home of Arthur P. Heinze on Madison avenue is offered for sale or rent for business purposes According to the renting agents, a beauty doctor estab- lishment is figuring on taking it for a term of years.
 The house Is between Thirty-s xth and Thirty-s seventh streets, opposite the Handsome grounds and homes of J. B. Morgan and his son and adjoin- ing the home of Mrs. William Orthout, MT. Morgan's sister. Two years ago George F. Baker, Jr., and several oth- CT residents of the aristocratic sectio paid out s1,Oo0.00O to keep trade off that part of the avenue.
 Mir Heinze's decision Is said 10 have been induced by the fact that he has not yet recovered from the panic of 1907. A big sign is displayed on the house inviting offers.
 The home Is one of the firest in the Murray Hill district. MT. Heinze bought it some years ago, and IS said to have spent at least s1,000,00o in beautifying 1t. especially with rugs and tapestries and other old world treasures It is a five story and basement dwelling, 2S feet wide and 100 deep. It even has a tho- atre on the roof.

CROSS COUNTRY
 AT LEXINGTON

Lexington, Va, October 29-(Special.)- The annual cross-country run will be called Friday, November 10. This is the great fall event at Washington and Lee in track work The course is five long miles of up and down hill on the Natural Bridge road, and it takes runner of real wind to be able to finish at all much less to keep up the pace all the way. The hardest place on the course is a small creek about a mile from the starting place, and here the runner has his choice of going the other four miles with his shoes wet or of losing several row footway. Every winner has chosen to go through the branch and trust to the run to get the water out of his shoes This year has found a large number of candidates chasing over the hills back of the university grounds to get them- selves into form for the test endurance. As soon as Captain Glass put up his call for names of the men who wanted to enter the race he found a large num- Der of applicants. The following men will enter the course: Captain Glass, Barker, Moore Wales, Dunn, Drunlmond. Abromovitz, Coffee, Steele. Day and Mon cure. Medals are offered for the first three places in the race and a large number of people will be on hand to see the finish and cheer on the winner.
 The record for the course was made last year by Tom Wood. His time was 30 minutes and seconds. This is ex- cellent time, but the record Is by no means safe, as several of the men are threatening to cut it down and get them selves the coveted monogram by estab- fishing a new time.

TAFT TAXES FAST
 AUTOMOBILE RIDE
President Spends Rather Quiet Day in Chicago.
 Address Negroes

Chicago October 29.-With the eX- ception of a 55 mile automobile ride in cold wind, President Taft passed
 quiet Sunday here. He attended church in the morning, lunched with Jchn Hayes Hammond, Postmaster Campbell of Chicago and few ac- uuaintarces. spoke to several thous- and negroes near the close of the au- tomobile ride and tonight addressed the Chicago Sunday Evening club on Peace and Arbitration"
 The automobile ride lasted about one hour and 90 minutes. His average speed, excluding the periods when he slowed down, was more than 30 miles an hour
 Frequent bursts to 40 miles an hour or more were made. The boulevards were crowded with automobiles and curious train of cars but those In charge of the outing were evidently de- termined that there should not be a slow moment to it. There were no slow minutes MT. Taft was hurried along at a gait that made those who saw him wonder. At no time appar- ently was the Presidents car in dan ger, corps of motorcycle policemen in Mont kept the way clear as pilots.
 The police department had arranged for the trip in great detail. At eN- cry grade crossing officers kept traffic back from the time the police car was sighted until the last car had passed. At every viaduct under which the par ade passed there were policemen either on top of the structure or on the side walk underneath.
 There was one real pause on the ride Two miles from the end MT Taft stopped at Quinn Chapel to speak to several thousand negroes on the good the |. M. c. A. had done.
