Selvidge Business College Notes.

The school is enjoying splendid
patronage now, nearly every seat be-
ing taken. More new students were
enrolled in January than in any
January for the last five years. Feb
ruary also promises to be a banner
month. Since the first of the month
the following have enrolled: Miss
Myrtle Kirkwood of Linn, Okla, II
A. Stroud of Harold, Texas, for the
business course; Miss Josephine
Newman of Tishomingo, Miss
Mary Markey of Paducah, Ky, Miss
Lena Glenn of Ardmore, Leland Nc
Nees of Ardmore, for the shorthand
and typewriting course; Harry Story
and Roy Riner of Ardmore for the
combined course.
Raymond Dunehoo finished his
course and was awarded diploma in
bookkeeping this week. He will re-
turn to his home at Madill as soon
as he can run the gauntlet of the
quarantine there and embark in bus
mess for himself. His many friends
at the school not only wish him
success, but expect it of him, as he
has given evidence while in school
of being made of the proper stuff.
The Gold Medal offered by the
Remington Typewriter company for
proficiency in typewriting is still the
subject of great interest. A few
days ago, when the medal was being

by a blow on her head with some

WOULD BE ACT OF coWARDlcE'
Speech Against Jones Philippine In.
dependence Bill.

Washington, Feb. Withdrawal
of the United States from the Philip
pines would be an act of cowardice
and folly and would result in condi-
tions worse than now exist in Mex
ico,' declared Representative Olmstei
of Pennsylvania, in a speech today
against the Jones Philippine inde-
pendence bill, which he describes as
remarkable and dangerous"
In country where the well-edu
Gated or directing class constitute
less than . per cent Of the entire
population" he said, "and where
wholesale illiteracy prevails among
the others, it would be impossible to
conduct a government of the people,
by the people and for the people" ;"
The United States did not get a
rad bargain in the Philippines, he de-
clared.
"The Philippines are very rich pos
sessions. If Germany or Japan or
any other foreign nation possessed
then. they would never let them go
Japan supports population of 40
100000 The Philippines could as
easily support 1OO,OO0,OO0 people"
Mr.. Olmsted said he did not want
to see the Philippines retained per-
manently, but argued that the Jones
bill would deprive the United States
Immediately of practically all auth
ority without relieving it of respon-
sibility.
Philippine Delegate Quezon criti-
cised the speaker for assuming to
know more about Filipino people
than the Filipinos knew about them
selves. He said no American could
understand his race.
Representative Jones began heat
ed reply to Representative Olmsted
but when cut off by the expiration
of the time granted for the discus
sion declared that if he had hal
an hour he could not begin to den!

man from Pennsylvania"

BOXERS AT BOND'S DENY
 THEY DO NOT TRAIN HARD
Soldier Kearns, Australian Charlie Griffin and
 Others Reply to Attack

boxers do not train could not be ap- peased and it bobbed to the surface again when Gentleman Charlie took the floor and said: You see it is this inturing the game do not meet the best element-the men who are trying to elevate the game and are making Q living out of 1t. Acrobats train for the kind of business they are in and boxers do the same but there is a wide difference between the demands of the two kinds Of athletics. The acrobat must keep Hmbered up and re- tain his skill at the particular stunts he is called on to do. There is no against another man in a keen and ex- hausting conflict A boxer who kept up training continually to the limit would soon go stale, become muscle bound and get into a condition well known to followers of the game.
 Then again it Is an injustice to such men as Tommy Murphy, Ad Wolgast, K. O. Brown, Freddie Welsh, Matt Wells, Leach Cross, and hundreds of others who live clean and are as ab- stemious as men in any other busi- ness. I always keep in condition but do not keep up a continuous strain by training to the limit. am ready at any trne to take up the strenuous part of the. program and fit myself for the ring fin a short time. The rule at these quarters is that a boxer pre- pairing for a bout begins his work at 2 o'clock when he takes a mile walk Breakfast follows at 8. At 10 a run for one or two hours as the trainer elects, which is followed by a. plunge and a rub down. Dinner at noon is followed by a rest until when the gym work begins. This consists of 6 or rounds at the bag, several rounds with sparring partner, usually or 8, followed by rope skipping, shadow boxing and the medicine ball which with the plunge and rub down keep a man busy until supper time which is at 6. That is about all the work a
 man should do in day. Training is not intended to exhaust all a mans muscular and mental force. But aside from this the work is that done by every regular boxer except those who are simply posers. want to say a word for Al Ketchel right here. There is an example of hard working, clean living boxer. His defeat at the hands of Welsh is no discredit to him. He was simply outboxed by a more ex- perienced man. He was aggressive all the way and was not doored at any time. Ketchel is really novice but he chased his man all round the ring. He will make the fans sit up and take notice some day.
 Then Charlie conhded that he was going to be in the game again this summer but he said nothing about the fact that he is to be married some time this summer to a handsome and good tempered Bridgeport lady. When the gentle accusa ton was made to him he onIX smiled and said "perhaps so. ''

AMERICANS WILL
 USE ENGLISH BALL
TENNIS PLAYERS MAKE CoNCEs- SION TO AUSTRALIAN INVAD-
 FRS UPON REQUEST.

As a concession to the Australian lawn tennis players an English ball is to be used in the Davis Cup matches when the Americans face the players from the Antipodes in the internaEon- al contests next week.
 It is the first time that an English ball has been used in international matches in this country. Heretofore the ball that is officially designated for all American national champion ships has been used.
 Upon his arrival Stanley N. Doust, the captain of the Australian team in this country. lodged preference for an English ball with the Chairman of the international committee. He cIinched his argument by pointing out that the foreign ball would be used in all of the international matches in England and that if the Americans were fortunate enough to win in the first of the ties, it would be well for them to familiarize themselves with the ball. which is rather livelier than the American products.
 In their recent test competitions on the courts of the West Side Club. New York, Mclaughlin, Little, Hackett and Williams have been playing with the English ball. It was pointed out yes terday that this, in a measure, ac- counted for some of the uncertain per- formances of the players at the be- ginning of the international practice

Especial to the Farmer,

Stratford, May 29.-It was an indig- nant crowd Of boxers who sat around Capt. John Bonds training quarters at the lower dock yesterday when a Farmer correspondent dropped in to say "howdy.''
 Capt. Bond was the moderator and Australianr- Charlie Griffin was the spokesman Whats the matter with you fellows anyway?' exclaimed the captain. Gentleman Charlie then ex- plained that an article on the sport ing page of a Bridgeport daily had as- serted that a,crobats could give boxers instructions on how to train and inti- mating that about all the training the modern boxer got was his rubdowns." That's bloody shame, don't you know said Charlie in his most gen. tlenanly but saddest tone.
 Besides Capt. Bond and Australian Charlie there were Bob Clarke, man eger, and his two latest finds, Sol dier Kearns and Eddie Wallace. The Round" Davis at Buffalo on June 6 and the work he is getting every day would open the eyes of the writer who believes that boxers do not really train. Al KetcheI was also there. He is preparing for his fight in St. Louis on the same date
 But Soldier Kearns is the centre of interest in the camp now. He is re- markedly developed physically. In fact it is believed that no other man ever, in the fighting game could ex- hibit any such muscular development He is deluxe edition of Tom Shar- key in his best form. The muscles stand out all over his body in bunch es. His back is 8 wonder to the be- holder and besides that few min utes on the bench while he is train ing will convince the most skeptical that he is not at all slow.
 The death of Luther AGcCarty in the ring at Alberta cast a gloom over the piece. Tt is feared that it will tend to injure the game even in this coun- try Soldier Kearns has fought Pellly twice and the score is now a knock out for each. He cannot understand how McCarty was injured. He ex- plains, however, that McCarty had a habit of drawing his head to one side at critical times thus exposing his jaw but he cannot understand what kind of blow brought the fatal result.
 The Soldier is now down to weight, about POO. and carries not an ounce of fat. His manager, Bob Clarke, is confident that he has a champion in Kearns, and there are good grounds for his confidence. Eddie Wallace his other protege is a coming bantam. He now weighs 116 pounds. is IS years old and a born fighter. He is the insep- arable companion of the big Soldier. They eat together. sleep together and box every day. The oddly assorted pair exhibit real Damon and Pythias friendship.

EASTERN.

Judge Dickinson followed Sir Thoni- as and said that a knowledge of the boxing game was very desirous and necessary for all policemen, enabling, as it did, a, man knowing his own power, not only to keep control of himself, but to assist greatly in time of need and in the discharge of his duties. Judge Dickinson also agreed with Lord Wolsely that boxing was of the greatest benefit to the soldiers and navy men and he wanted to see the day when boxing would be adopted by all classes of young men.
 What contrast! Some of the big gest men in England trying to help the boxing game along and similar men in this country endeavoring to tear it to pieces. However, there is hope, for some of the more broad minded men of the states are begin ming to favor the game and pay less attention to the mollycoddle element.

 HAD RAPID RISE
YoUNGsrER PLAYING FOR ENG. LISH TITLE IS SON OF WOR-
 ! CESTER TAILOR.

Worcester. MaSs. May 29-w. Hein. rich Schmidt, who met former British and American golf champion H. H. Hilton in the sixth round of the Brit 1sh championship at St. Andrews to- day, is>a senior at the Worcester Poly technic Institute. His diploma will be waiting for him when he returns as he passed a special final examina ton the day before he sailed for Europe.
 Schmidt, who is twenty-three years old, learned golf and earned many a bright quarter as a caddy at the Wor- cester Golf Club. His playing career however, has been brief but unusually brilliant and due largely, his friends believe, to his indomintable spirit
 He began playing in open events three years ago and entered his first national at Apawanis in 1911, when he failed to qualify. Last year he was eliminated at Wheaton by Charles E. Evans of Chicago. but the next week he returned and captured the Massa- ehusetts championship.
 The young golfer was expecting to work his passage to Europe on a, cattle boat, but the vessel sailed without a cattle cargo. Schmidt went second class, determined to save money for a visit to Paris. His father, Henry E. A. Schmidt, a tailor here, was born in Germany.

the ''spit ball'' in a game.
 It was during the big tournament given by the metropolitan police of London that the judge got into the game. There were hundreds of en- tries. from light weights up to heavy weights, and the contests were attend ed by many of the leading business men. uagistrates and big political men of the city. Speeches were made in favor of the boxing game by many attending, but it remained for Sir Thomas Bucknell, a judge of the high courts of justice, to make the mt or the evening. He told the patrons and the contestants that he had been lover of the boxing game from child hood and that in his youth he nad been a pupil of the famous Nat Lang ham. the only man that had defeated the more famous Tom Savers. Judge Ruckneu went on to say that he hoped the game would be encouraged, but that he wanted to see less Of the croo1chdng and 'covering'' tactics adopted by the present day boxers and the use of the clean straight LeLe' which to his mind was one. or the greatest blows in the game.
