LONDON LABOR WORLD
 IS STILL UNSETTLED

London, December 23.-fSpeclal.)-A sin ister cloud is still lowering over the labor world, and the discontent and malice brewing among the railroad men men aces the peace and prosperity of the coun- try. Although the threatened railroad strike about Christmas is averted for the time being, no one is optimistic enough to assert that permanent peace lution passed by a number of enthusias- should be armed is, to say the least, very disquieting.
 At crowded meetings of members Of the Bradford branches of the Amalga- mated Society of Railroad Servants, the resolution which was enthusiastically re- ceived was as follows:
 That this meeting having every re- spect for constitutional authority. and believing that such authority is compe- tent to deal with all alleged violations of the law, considers that the formation of volunteer police force. organized and controlled by the capitalist classes out side and above the law of the land, and openly supported by railroad companies. is a menace to our liberties, and must be seriously met by the organization of the men in the direction of taking steps to put them on an equal footing and to that end recommends the formation of Trade Union Physical Protection league whose objects shall be the training and equipment of selected trade unionists In order that our organizations may be in position to meet on equal terms the bullies of organized capital"

MONTY REVIEWS GREAT INDOOR
 BATTLE TO OCCUR TUESDAY

:, indoor records.
 In the hurdles there are half dozen collegiate cracks as well as the Eller brothers of New York. The jumps will be fought out by Moffatt of Harvard and the hamites-Grumpelt, Adams, Fielding, Erickson, Ahearn and Oler. | The weights will be easy for the New Workers, McGrath, Walsh, Dincan and Sheridan.
 Probably the most significant" event I of the entire meet will be the five mile senior. In this George Bonhag, the | champion, will meet Berna of Cornell and Lewis Tewanima, the Carlisle h. dian. man who can run good five mile indoors is generally timber for the Marathon outdoor This is certain to be a corkfng race, as no two of the ''big three" have ever clashed before. | Speaking of Tewanima in the light of a. Marathon runner recalls his experi ence In the last Olympic Marathon, the one at London. In that race he was looked upon as the best bet of the American contingent, although he had | been running but a few months. Ac- cordingly Joe, Forshaw of St. Louis. the veteran of the team, who had finished eighth in the Olympic classic at Athens, was given the job of acting as Tewa- nimas running mate, to pace him and give him much needed advice along the way. At the twelfth mile, when Towanima was in sixth place, the "AchillcsR ten don on his right heel gave way. For shaw did the best he could to fix up the little Indian, but 1t was to no avail
 Finally. after all but three of tho 200 entrants had passed by, Forshaw de-
 cided to give up his efforts with Tewanima, whom he helped into one of the emergency automobiles. Joe then set sail for the rest of the field, which 'by this time was strung out five miles ahead.
 One by one he cut them down. and when he arrived upon the stadium track to begin the last final sprint Dorando was just being helped across the line Joe was going like a steam locomotive ands had the race been half mile longer he would have passed Johnny Hayes and Hefferon of South Africa, who were ahead of him. As 1t was, Forshaw finished officially third, which was no mean honor in itself, but the story of his remarkable Is mile sprint | through the hordes of struggling ath- | letes Is worth retelling. Probably never again will such an exhibition of fight against odds be displayed in any Mara | thon. l Likelihood is that if Joe had run for himself all the way he would have finished ahead of the whole bunch. | And now comes word from the Mound l City that Forshaw is going to come back" He has been on the retired list since that race, but he has always been clean living fellow, so he feels con- fident that he will again be able to deliver the goods. His presence would add not little to the sentiment con- nected with the big race. and 1t Is our earnest hope that the Olympic commit tee will see enough merit still in the veteran Joe to select him to represent his flag for the third time.

New York, December 23.-lSpecial.) Big champions and little champions will pound the boards at Madison Square garden next Tuesday and Wednesday nights, and, before the last faint rumhlfhgs have died away, there will be proclaimed the na- tional indoor kings of the United States. The juniors will fight it out on Tues day and the seniors on Wednesday.
 In many ways this will be the most im- portant athletic event of the winter off season. First. of course. is the consid- eration that 1t will decide the national supremacy of indoor stars. Secondly, it will provide reliable standard for spec ulation as to the men who will represent America at Stockholm next summer in the Olympic games.
 As was predicted by the writer several weeks ago, when the programme for the indoor champs" was first announced, this banner occasion of the winter season will show in competition together more first calibre men than ever before clashed De- meath a roof
 It has generally been the case with in- door championships in the past that prac- tically all the entrants were the mem bers of clubs in Greater New York. How ever this year there are several top notch westerners entered. and the New England states have large representa- tion. The eastern colleges have also sup piled a goodly number of the aspirants for indoor honors, and the tilt between Har- yard, Yale and Cornell shining lights for the previous medals will be well worth watching.
 Many of the intercollegiate stars will be eligible for the junior events, but the majority of them will stay out of these, so as to be in prime fettle for the more arduous tests on the follinwing evening. While the junior events doubtless will produce some excellent contests and rec ords, some few events possibly being run in better time than by the seniors, the big interest is naturally crystallzed in the competitions that are unlimited as to eligibility.
 With the exception of few of the so- called eccentric" field events, in which there are only few well known per formers every contest on the card will be bitterly fought, from the shortest dash all the way up to the five mile run.
 The sprints will bring together a re- markable quartet in Alvah Meyer of the Irish-American A. C. of New York; Jim Rosenberger of the same outfit; Reggie Foster, the former Harvard track captain. and Richard Craig, the Michigan flyer who tied Meyers mark in the 22O last summer.
 The middle distances will show wonderful array in Jim McEntee, Harry Gissing, Leroy Dorland. Mel Sheppard, TerwiIlinger and Valentine of New York, and Oscar Hedlund, the Boston strider. Several of these will pit their prowess against John Paul Jones of Cornell in the half and mile. It is al- most certainty that Jones will be extended to smash one or both of the

GAMES TO
 BE PLAYED ON THE CAMPUS

bridge-New Haven conflicts which are. after all, the real scraps of the football world, and which are always played at home.
 More campus games are being demand ed by students in most southern colleges, and the Auburn-Georgiag game is the first recognition of the demand for big game The colleges will play in Athens next Thanksgiving, and in Auburn the follow ing Thanksgiving, alternating thus. And there is no doubt that Auburn and Geor- gia will play each other as long as foot ball exists, or, at least, as long as the present management is in charge at the respective colleges.
 The faculty committees and the man agers of the two college teams see in the big campus games on the holiday oc- casion for reunions and visits from old alumni, who, attracted by the spectacular feature of a football game, will return to their alma matters in such. numbers as commencement seasons have never at tracted.
 Financially. the innovation may not be success. But the arrangements, judg- ing from their correspondence and inter views hold that finances is but the means and not the end of college football The new arrangement is great step toward sport for sports sake"

 Fred Pabst, who came from carl bou hunt in Canada to attend the recent national horse show here, announced ais intention of crossing the hackney and Thoroughbred to produce saddle horses.

.RUMORS AGAIN
 OF POPE'S ILLNESS

Rome December 29.-(Special. )-Reports are again current concerning the health of the Pope which cause uneasiness. For a time after the recent consistory, which nearly filled the depleted ranks of the se- cred college, the holy father was brighter and better in spirits than he had been for some time. He took a keen interest in affairs, enjoyed the conversation with the new princes of the church and in many ways gave his physicians much encour- agement. But within the last few days q reaction seems to have set in. His holi- ness seems to feel that his work is about done and that he will soon be permitted to lay down the burdens of his great of flee, which has always been more or less irksome to him.
 It would cause no surprise if another consistory, carrying the high duty of se- lecting another head for the church. should be called during 1912.
 Among the recently created cardinals, none has made a more favorable impress sion in Rome than the two Americans, Cardinals Farley and O'Connell.i Neither is stranger in Rome, but they have been infrequent visitors of late. They have been the recipients of unusual at tentions, both social and ecclesiastical. They find some of the rules of etiquette imposed on cardinals irksome at times, and in a good-natured American way, rather scandalize some of the subordi- nate functionaries by their ignoring of customs; but they are immensely pop ular.

Auburn, December 23.-tSpecial0-Au- burn and the University of Georgia, with a football rivalry of the most wholesome order, will inaugurate in their future games the most startling of innovations a Thanksgiving game on the college cam pus.
 Breaking away from the Thanksgiving games in big cities, with elaborate adver- tising features and feverish efforts to draw big crowds, the two colleges, by an agreement just consummated, will place their annual contest on the level of pure sport, of sport for sports sake, and will bring to the students a big game as a reward for their patriotism and support.
 Auburn is a small town, with popnla- ton of about 1500 besides the college stu dents: Athens has population of about 15.OOO. and is in itself an apparently poor town for a big Thanksgiving game, from the old financial viewpoint.
 4But we are after a game for its own sake" say the Auburn authorities, and they point to the big eastern games which mean so much, about which tradition and sentiment have been built-the Cam

A couple of furious mastiffs seized the poor woman and start ed tearing her body before the attend ants of the palace reached her.
