nary game will precede.
The Troy five of Hohoken, well
known here, and conquerors of sew
eral local teams, will appear at Do
minican Hall In South Ninth street to-
night to oppose the Holy Name So
ciety quintet. The Troys will ecme
hele fully confident of victory, but
they viii stack up against combi-
nation of players who are equally as
strong. With all the regulars in the
lineup the Domins figure that they
cannot see anything but victory.
The Dominican H. N. S. Juniors,
which gave the Bay View Juniors a
tough battle Wednesday afternoon,
will have the Knights of Columbus
Juniors to contend with at Dominican
Hall tonight in a preliminary tc the
senior contest on the South Ninth

The ST. James Triangles will ap-
pear here for the first time this sea-

Paterson; Trenton Eastern League

Three measures for the regulation
of boxing are TO be introduced at the
next session of the Illinois Legisla-
ture. All of them are for the con-
troll of the sport on a practical and
orderly basis No bouts are to exceed
ten rounds and no decisions are to
be given. One of the measures calls
for bouts of six rounds. The prin-
cipal contention of the sponsors for
the bills is that boxing, of itself, is
sport which is as much entitled to
recognition as fencing or golf The
sport has been outlawed in Illinois
for some years,
A determined fight is being made
by the opponents of boxing to pre-
vent its getting a foothold again in
Illinois. Circulars are being sent
broadcast bearing this advice: Write
letters to legislators denouncing the
sport. Refer to the dissolute charac-
ters of so-called champions of the
world and their heinous crimes
against society"
The unfairness of denouncinp a.
class because of the shortcomings of
one of its members is so apparent
that it is hardly worth pointing out.
There are black sheep in every pro-
fession. The opponents of boxing
should try to find better arguments
against the sport than the one given

Not solsterlng Up Madsro.
Washington Post.l

The resolution passed by Con- gress authorizing the President to prevent the shipment of arms into Mexico is wise precaution, and its effect ought to be beneficial in lessening the probability of friction that might lead to intervention. But it would be unfortunate if the resolution should cause American speculators and adventures to be- leve that the United States is determined to keep Madero in office.
 Madero is nothing to the United States, and the United States is nothing to him. It is reported that American money lenders are offering to lend him large sums in order that he may retain his place. If they should do so, it should be at their own risk and with the dis tinct understanding that the United States government does not bind itself in any way to protect them. Too many Americans have gone into foreign countries and accepted the dangers surrounding them, only to make an outcry later to this government for protection against the Consequences of their adventures.
 So far as this country is con cerned, the revolutionists now at work have just as much right to throw Madero out as Madero had to overturn Diaz. By what author ity does Madero now rule Mexico? By the same authority that Diaz had, and that 0rozco will have if he whips Madero They are all revolutionists. There is nothing about the Madero government that makes 1t any better than those which preceded 1t or those which will follow. Just now MaderO's touts in Washington and elsewhere are trying to make it appear that the United States, for some cause or other, is particularly friendly to Madero and determined to prevent the success of the revolution against him. They will use the resolution just passed as proof of this attitude. But the truth is, of course, that the United States has no interest what ever in the fortunes of Madero or any other Mexican revolutionist, so long as the squabble is confined to Mexico.
 If Speyer & Go. or any other American money lenders want to risk their money in Mexico, let them furnish their own army for protecting it. Why should this government be put to the expense of millions of dollars to protect the Speyers? It should be clearly understood that Congress in taking steps to prevent the shipment oi arms into Mexico is not doing SC to bolster up Madero and enable him to make a deal with American money lenders, but merely to pre- vent such friction along the border as might require the invasion oi Mexico.
