SOUTH TAKES UP
FOOTBALL QUICKLY

Time was when football was asso-
ciated solely with bleak New England
fields, snappy fall breezes and all
that goes to make autumn a distinct
ly northern season. Now, with the
germ of athletics marching trium-
phantly over the land, football is no
longer confined to Yankeedom. The
colleges of the south have heard it's
call, have answered it, too, with whole
souIed fvigor and today there is scarce
~ a campus gridiron in any southern
state that doesn't know the stamp of
cleated shoes, the thud of tackled men
and the thump of calfskin against pig
skin. From the Potomac to the Gulf
and from the Atlantic to the Father
of Waters the game is on.
They seem to do things little diff
ferent1y in that section though. While
northern coaches are expatiating on
bright prospects and overlooking with
confidence, in public at least, the
southern football faculties remain
Conservative in their forecasts. In
deed, they rather incline to the dark
er side. Perhaps it is as well. In
tie event of an unsuccessful season
the coach is covered UP. Should
glory come to the team he can appro-
pirate a general share to himself.

CHINA LOOKS TO
u. S. AND GERMANY
TO BUILD UP NAVY

Washington, Sept. 13-Far eastern
dip1omatists here regard the announce
ment of China's purpose to employ a
German army officer of high rank and
200 subordinate officers as instructors
for her army as a resumption Of plans
interrupted by the revolution against
Yuan Shi Kai
Their expressed view is that instead
of there being any objection by the
powers to such a military development,
it will be encouraged in every way
as one potent means of guaranteeing
the integrity of the Chinese republic.
Impressed with the success of the
japanese army in the struggle between
Japan and Russia, the Chinese deter
mined to re-cast their military organi-
zation upon japanese models and as a
step in that direction employed num-
Der of japanese officers, veterans of
the war with Russia, to organize and
drill the raw Chinese levieS.
Likewise, with the intention of de-
ve1oping a navy, negotiations were be-
gun with the United states and pre-
liIninary arrangements were made for
the loan of a number of American
naval officers. This latter plan was
never put in execution because of the
outbreak of the recent revolution.
However, it is the belief in official
circles here that as soon as complete
tranquility has been restored in China,
the American project as well as 3. gen
eraI plan for the re- organization of the
Chinese army will b. resumed.

So. 900 MONUMENT MARKS THE
GRAVE OF STANLEY KErCHEL

Stanley KetcheI, one of the greatest
middleweights in ring history, was
born on a farm near Grand Rapids,
Mich, twenty-six years ago Sunday,
Sept IA 1887. A magnificent me-
mortal now marks his last resting
place in the Polish cemetery near his
birthplace. The monument, which
cost in the neighborhood of $4,000, is
built of Vermont marble and granite
and stands over twelve feet in height,
with a base six by eight feet. The
shaft was erected by Col. r. P. Dick
erson, of Springfield, Mo-, on whose
ranch the middleweight king was shot
and killed Dickerson and Ketchel s
mother were pIaymates in their child
hood, when the pugilists family were
tenants on a farm owned by DECKER
sons father. The Missouri ranch
man was an enthusiastic admirer of
the son of his boyhood playmate, and,
it is said, has spent over $4,000 in
Strengthening out KetchePs affairs,
erecting the monument and avenging
the fighters death.
Stanislaus Kiecal is the name that
appears on the stone which marks the
grave of the great middleweight.
Stanley's father was a Pole who had
come to America when in his youth
and married an American girl. Ketch-
ell was devoted to his parents and his
first big money went to the purchase
of a fine farm in Michigan, which he
decided to his father. Stanley often
took his dad" with him on his trips,
and many fans will remember the old
gentleman, all logged out in classy
raiment, including Prince Albert,
striped trousers, patent leather shoes
and silk lid, and carrying a gold
headed cane. Mr.. Kiecal. farmer and
wagon-maker, was not entirely COM
Portable in this swell regalia, but
Stanley insisted that nothing with less
class would do for the paternaI ances-
tor of a worlds champion. Stan

Especial to The Farner>

NewtoWn, Sept 13-The Democrat is
of Newtown held the most harmonious
caucus in years last night. At the
Town Hall, and put in nomination a
ticket that was the choice of the vor-
ers. The So-called organizati ton forces
did not interfere with the doings to
any great extent, and the rank and file
of the party had their own way. Thos.
F. Bradley, registrar of voters, was
the temporary and permanent chair
man and Town Clerk Oscar Pitzschler
was secretary. In every case where
there was a. contest the chairman or
dered a vote by ballot but only in the
Sandy Hook district was there more
! than two candidates.; but P. j. Kelly
who has held the office acceptably for
the past ten years withdrew his name
on the third ballot without naming a
preference. The next ballot showed
Frank w. Kirby winneR by a majority
OF two more than one half of the vot-
ers participating. Mr.. Kirby has been
always a hard worker for the party,
and in his speech of acceptance laid
stress on his independence of faction
and gave assurance of his belief in a
united democracy in Newtown politics.
The vote for town treasurer was the
only surprise. Michael Ki1bride/ Of
Sandy Hook easily defea ted Frank
Wright who has been the chief spokes-
man of the organizat ton forces for the
Wright acceptab1y for the same num-
beer of years. Rev. George T. Sinnott
was returned as a member of the High
school committee, and as the two posi-
tons are interdependent he was also
named member of the Board of
School Visitors without any friction,
Judge of Probate Beecher naming him
first. The minor offices were filled as
was the head of the ticket in the
person of P. H. Mccarthy by viva
voce vote, and unanimously, as fore
casted in these columns, the vacancy
on the Democratic committee was fill
ed by an election from the floor.
When nominations were called for fill
ing the vacancy the names of A. J.
Gallagher and Edward Troy, former
representa- tives in the General Assem-
bly,, were presented by adherents of
both gentlemen, but the latter may
unanimously withdraw in favor of the
former, who was then elected by ac-
b clamation Mr.. Troy's friends also

MCFARLAND LIKELY
TO BOX IN WISCONSIN
By T. S. Andrews.)

Now that the Wisconsin state box
ing commission has decided to adopt
the New York scale of weights, there
may be a chance to bring the top
notch light weights together-Packey
Mcfarland, Jack Britton and Willie
Ritchie-at 135 pounds. That is the
weight the commissions have decided
on, also the Montana state board, and
if they hold together there may be
some chance of going through with it,
although when the stars. begin dick
ering for matches they usually want
to dictate theirs own terms, name the
weights, etc. This may be a step to-
ward the establishment of an interna-
tional scale of weights, which is sure
ly badly needed.
Jack Kearns, a western manager of
fighters, has taken unto himself a re-
culiar combination. Jack Gays he
has two world heaters in Dick HyIand,
the light weight, and Jack Kelly, a
heavy weight. There was a time
when Dick was a near champion, when
he put up such great battle with
Leach Cross and others, but he has
class, although he is still one of the
husky little light weights of the coun-
try and able to give the fans a run for
their money any time he starts. Jack
Kelly is new conner, weighs 180
pounds, stands six feet two inches and
is growing. He has shown his game
ness and ability to improve with every
fight, so there is hope for him. Let
US hope that he may be an improve
ment on some of the white hopes who
have appeared lately.
