LONDON, Dec. 14.-P J.

The argument is this; No team can win the Olympic games without training similar to that in dulged in by the Americans; such trafning is professional in nature and in spirit; it reduces the games to the level of commercial enterprise: we cannot undertake it without de- grading what has alwafs been for us a 'splendidly rough and ready sport into q business. which is in- consistent with our high ideals of amateurism; and there efcre, , shades of county cricket secretaries, we vii. affront .he G, rman natio. hy withdrawing from the competition at Berlin

To the Sporting editor of the Arizona 1
 Republican,
 Sir:
 While I have been sick for the last two weeks, unable to leave my room, some person circulated the report that I am not Spider Kelley. I will say in reply, that many people are under the impression that Spider Kelly of F'ris- co is the only man entitled to that name.
 Frisco Spider Kelly was good fighter. and one of the best seconds a man could want. and you must also give him credit for being a good fel- low. His real name is James Curtin, and he is nearly forty years of age.
 My right name is Kelley. 1 never took an assumed name in my life. be- lieving no one should be ashamed of the name of his parents. I was born in New York, in the borough of Har- lem in the year 1853, nearly sixty years ago. I started boxing in 1870 at Oney Grogan's- resort on the Bowery
 It seemed that every fighter around there was Kelly or Murphy. As l was tall and lanky and clever and shifty wuh any hands, they ohristened me Spider
 One night there were five bouts staged at this place and every one of them had a Kelly in it. So, the man ager called us together and asked me. '-Where Go you live?" told him liar lem and he said, From now on we'll call you Spider Kelley of Harlem, so
 we'll know who's who" You see, was
 i,, tho boxipg game as "Spider'' Kelley
 before Frisco Kelly was born. The person who tried to make out an imposter was mistaken. He had me mixed with the Frisco fighter. l have no ill feelings toward him but as my flying depends on the sporting public, to whom I show my trained dogs and sell my record books, 1 must not be in a doubtful position before those who supply my living. I have been crip- pie for four years. walk on crutches l And q few months ago I had the added misfortune to become blind.
 In correcting this mistake, I'm only | irving to put myself straight before the people. and show I am no imposter. Respectfully yours HARLEM SPIDER KELLEY l P.S. Please put this in your paper l and whatever the charges are. I will pay them. I will be around next week i to see you and bring your Christmas present, the 1912 Worlds Annual 1 Sporting Record Book, the best I can 1 do for the time being. Hope you will grant me this favor, for which l will thank you from ~the bottom of my heart

VARSITY ID GET
 5000 ACRES
Records Show All of Land Allotted in 1881 Was Not Selected; Thirteen Sec tlons Are Yet to Be Located

The fact that the State of Ari- zona has several thousand acres of University lands within the state that have not yet been selected and sur Feyed has been discovered by the state Land Commission in delving through the land records of the state To be exact there are more than thir- teen sections or land yet to be locat- ed from the body of the United States land within the confines of the state.
 In 1881 the Congress of the United States passed an enactment whereby there was set aside for the use and benefit of the Universities of certain states and territories in the Union seventy sections of land Either at that time or shortly after 57 sections Of the allotment of Arizona were se- lected in the northern part of the state mostly in Coconino county. On this land is some of the finest tim Der in the entire state, and is em- braced by later action by the general government in the National Forests This however does not interfere with the income from it all of which goes to the interest of the University
 Out of the total amount of Uni- versity land there remains S320 acres yet to be chosen. This will be done by the State Land Commission in the course of it's work over the state, or to be more exact the State Land Commission will recommend what land can be made available for the purpose With eight thousand acres additional land chosen from which to .t.,i the State University will be consider ably augmented.
 This thirteen sections of land is over and above whatever selections of school land or state land that will be made by the Commission under the authorization of the last legislature
