that will make many fan wear a
broad smile. The go WAS between a
white man and Chinaman. The
story Is good. 1t is as follows:
Bob Allen of Gooding Is no match
for the man OF the orient.
Sing Hosan, the Chinaman, Is a
clever athlete and In less than two
minutes from the start Allen fell head
long to the floor. He did not rise on
the count ard had to be carried into

Four or five minutes elapsed before
he recovered and at Aliens sugges-
ton the referee announced that Allen
claimed foul play and all bets be-
declared off.
In the opinion OF the majority It
was not foul hit, even the referee
himself admitted that he did not think
Hosan fouled.

where can you beat him? He has
been discussed In these columns be-

kicking, just like Brickley. he is even
more brilliant line smasher and as

no equal. Add to this the ability OF
punting equal to that of FELTON, and
you have the ideal back.
Wendell 10 Secure.
Wendell. OF Harvard, seems in

reliable of the lot outside of the
Brown man-but Harvard has had
enough glory without drafting any
more of her champions.
Now we get to the line men. There
will be no dispute over tire center
position. Ketcham. Of Yale, has that
cinched beyond question. II is not
necessary to go into details. He stands
head and shoulders above any contem-
porary. Cooney did great work be-

that reason is picked as one of the

made Cooney. However, we'll let 1t

SEVERE CRITICISM
OF WILLIAM BARNES
Special New York Senate Committee
Says That He is a Conspicuous
Beneficiary of Graft.
av AssocIated Press.

Albany, N Y, March 2S.-The
special senate committee that has
teen investigating affairs at Albany
city and county since last fall report
ed today, including in its narrative OF
investigation severe criticism of VIII
liam Barnes, Jr., chairman of the state
committee of New York.
Referring to Barnes's testimony be-
fore the committee, the report says
Barnes declared he entered politics to
obtain honest elections in Albany and
to elevate politics. The report de-
clares Barnes's efforts along this line
have failed dismally. Elections are
not honest in Albany and politics are
not elevated"
The report goes on to declare that
the most conspicuous beneficiary of
graft, public extravaganza and raiding
OF the municipal treasury is William
Barnes. Jr., as 'the owner of the ma
jority stock of the Evening Journal
Company" Bills for public printing
seem to be referred to.
The committee recommends that the
mayor of Albany, the commissioner of
police and the commissioner of public
safety be removed.

coal miners wage dispute to prevent a
suspension Monday and shutting down
of practically all mines operated by
union men. was seen by operators and
union officials today after they failed
to agree at the end OF d conference of
several hours.
The situation tonight was that the
miners in the anthracite fields of
Pennsylvania will quit Sunday because
the agreement expires. Union officials
say a suspension will virtually be a
strike. The contracts of miners in the
bituminous regions also expire Sunday
at midnight. They probably will sus-
pend because there is no new agree
ment on which to continue.
Officials of the union say that if a
strike in both classes of mines is
called 1t will entail a loss in pay of
approximately million dollars daily.
A break off of all negotia tions tomor-
row is looked for by union Officials.
In anticipation of a general stfike,
union officials today began to figure
how many men still would remain at
work. 1t was announced that prac-
tically all the anthracite mines would
be closed, but in the case OF the btu
minous mines there would be excep-
