Director HUFF conferred this week
with class presidents. 1t is the opin-
ion of MIR. HUFF that a system of hav-
ing each class represented by five
teams from the five leading colleges,
engineering. agriculture science, liter
Azure. and arts and law. will apply
most favorably to three sports-base-
ball. track and outdoor basketball.
Basketball is not necessarily an in
door sport. II sufficient interest is
manifested outdoor basketball will be
introduced. The similarity in some re-
spects why outdoor basketball would
be a satisfactory substitute for spring
football practice. which has never
been a success at Illinois.
Baseball Is always a popular sport

Chicago, March 7.-According to
figures secured at American league
headquarters, this city. just 276 ball
players are the property of the eight
clubs in the Ban johnson circuit, 90
pitchers. 80 catchers, Sc inielders and
Sc %outf1elders.
II it was possible to keep all these
men through the coming pennant race,
experts figure that they would draw
more than 500, 900 in salaries, with
an average of So 900 each. But under

SAILOR JACK L T.

10Y oIuCtJ
sailor Jack is a Conservative chap
and a lad not in the least given t"
Dragging. He has never had q f,"eat
deal to say on his chances with Miller.
But tho other night he was In a rcmi-
niscent mood and he opened up a lit
tie. He spoke sincerely when he stat
ed that Miller would have the battle of
his life in throwing him and that no
matter how the ontcs ended the
champion of the world would know
that he had been in q contest.
Miller has said he is going t o crush
me- said the little tai we'll III will
have to go somc. He Will know that no
has been In Il match before the contest
is ended. l have necr met any man
my own size as yet who could crush
me and If Miller can do it ! will take
off my hat to him.
Il have always wanted to see how
good Il man he was. He must be Il
great wrestler to be at the top of
his class. but ] have met some of the
toughest men in the world. inclndins
Conllle. when he was at his best and I
think that l will be able Ia hold np my
end pretty we'll. l am in the best con-
dition of my life and will be able To
keep up d gruellinS pace for a long
time"
Iiackenschmidt fell an easy prey to
the prowcss of Frank Gotch for the
simple reason that he was beaten be-
fore he climbed through the ropes. His
poor heart robbed his head of reason
and his body of strength. Sailor Jack
will climb through the ropes to meet
the champion with all the confidence
in the world, besides they never made
"a gamer man than the little fellow who
is going against the champion of the
world.
Peter Maher was beaten by Bob
Ritzsimmons at New Orleans and lat
him at the critical time. History and
prizefghting arc filled with the names
of men who have failed because ma
turc did not fit them out with the kind
of, heart and nerves hat would stand
the terrific strain of that terrible mo-
ment that comes just before the con-
fict.
1t is not the fight, it is the time be-
fore the fight. The writer has watch
wrestled here, the Shepperd. the Scho-
her. the Greek and the rest. and never
has the little chap showed even the
least perturbation. His nerves are
even and steady and his heart ia tho
kind that true fighters carry beneath
their vests.
Miller Is going up against one of the
that ever stepped
on a wrestling pad and he is going
to grapple with a lad who knows not
what the word fear means. Like the
late Stanley Ketchel. the little arine
is a stranger to the emotion that sti-
fes the heart action of an athlete.
That match should be some battle.
1t should be n of the greatest bat
ties aver wrestler in this country. 1t
will be the first worlds championship
encounter ever staged here. 1t
means much to both little men. A
great hush of expectancy will fall on
the throng as the foes shake hands
1t does take nerve inc real nerve, too,
to get up there around the top.

CHRISTMAS TRADE BEST EVER
HATTIEs5URe MERCHANTS BANKS COMMON CARRIERS RE
PORT INCREASED VoLU BUSINESS
THE YEAR

The weather conditions which pre-
vailed during much of the week or ten
/ days prior to Christmas, were such
as to interfere greatly with shopping.
At one time it looked as though the
merchants were going to experience a
lean Christmas. This relates more
particularly to those whose business
it was to supply Christmas shoppers.
Believing that trade conditions were
better than last year The News sought
to prove it by interviewing the banks,
merchants, railroads and others, with
results that speak for themselves.
The postofflce in any community
usually regarded as trade barometer,
furnishes the best possible index of
local trade conditions. W. A. Collins,
postmaster of the Hattiesburg post
office, states that every quarter in the
current year has shown an increase
over the corresponding period of last
year. The post card feature now so
in use, was unprecedented
