Sullivan BIeeds and
Police Stop Battle

Because Kid Sullivan was bleeding
from number Of small cuts sustained
in training. the tender-hearted police of
Baltimore called a halt in the fourth
round OF the battle between Sullivan and
Jimmy Dougherty last night at the New
Broadway Athletic Club. The Washing
ton man protested that he was unhuTL
but the police refused to let the bout
continue.
Dougherty was considerably faster
than Sullivan and soon had him bleed
ing from the nose and from small cuts
on his cheek bones. His Jabs found their
mark every time he tried them and
barring an unexpected waliop from Sui
Ivan. he would surely have won in tn.
ten rounds
Pete Baum, Sullivan's trainer. was
erieyed today at the unsatisfactory end
ing Of the battle. sullivan was strong
and getting faster as the bout went
along" said Pete. Hes not a green
Kid. and IL takes little time for him to
warm up. His nose bled a bit and a cou-
ple Of cuts on his face were bleeding
but ne wasn't hurt, and the police should
never have stopped T. Washington sent
over q large contingent 70 cheer for Sui
Ivan, and disappointment met them"

Jim Thorpe. the famous Indian ath-

ably participate in the Georgetown
University indoor games of March /.
as he had been scheduled to do while
still in amateur ranks. or course he
will not enter in the collegiate events,
but Manager Darr expects 20 have
him give exhibitions in several events
and wherever possible will pit men
against the Carlisle wonder
According to the plans. Thorpe will
run against time IN the 50-yard dash
and high hurdles. besides putting the
shot and running a quarter mile
against a relay Of two men. to be
chosen as soon as Thorpe accepts
the invitation to participate.
AS the meet is to be held on March
l. it IS thought that Thorpe will be
able to participate before starting
South for spring baseball training
with the New York Giants. OF which
team he is now member. Thorpe
Is well remembered in the city for
his remarkable performances on the
gridiron and track against George
town University, rs he twice played
football against the HilltopDers as
we'll as participating in the Blue and

sides placing In every other race
which he entered.
Skip Wymard. the famous George

today. Skip. who was marager of the
Hilltop team in 1911. expects to stay for
the big meet of March ] and until then
will assist Manager Darr in arranging
his program. -.
George Van Dyne's injured knee has
been responding readily 10 treatment
and the former Central High School
quarter-miler will undoubtedly be able
TO participate in the Johns Hopkins
games on February Is. Van Dyne will
enter the quarter-miie event. the half

fine and a number of pleasing pic

was especially noteworthy and the
work Of Rags Leighton was of the

Washington, July 29.--Oppositlon
TO the proposed treaty with Nicara-
qua providing for IN American pro-
Electorate reached such a point when
athe subject came up for discussion
in the Foreign Relations Committee
today that the prediction was made
by Senators who did not favor the
policy that The treaty would fail of
ratification,
Senators Borah and Clarke of Ar
kansas, led the fight against the
adoption of the policy embodied in
the treaty. They were supported by
Senators Williams and Smith, of Mich
igan. This opposition was directed
against the assumption of the obiga
ton to stand responsible for the or
derry conduct of affairs in Central
America or to take step which III
tim5tely might mean exercising full
control over the five small republics,
and possibly Mexico itself.
Senator BOrah said that the Nicara
guam government was mere shell
and did not represent the sentiment
of the people He believes that if
the United States desires naval
station on Fonseca Bay 1t should
be purchased.
The question will be discussed fur,
