Johnson No SOf, Is
Trainers Assertion

NEW YORK. Oct. 31.--It has been
the impression among fight fans that
Jack Johnson. the heavyweight cham
pion, has been such victim OF dissi-
patton that he must soon wear out
and become an easy victim for some
strong young fellow.
There is nothing physically the
matter with Johnson" said Trainer
McKetrick, who recently returned
from abroad. Stories that he was
dissipated. WORKOUT sot are all wrong.
I was with him nearly every day for
about year. and In all that time
never saw him take drink. And
don't believe he smoked over two
cigars In that length of time. John
son Is taking the best care OF himself.
He, Of course. is not the fast boxer
he used to be. but he still retains
enough cleverness to stall OF the at

LEFT-AT-HOMES FIND
AN OMEN OF VICTORY

ANN ARBOR, Mich, Oct. 31.--It Is
amusing TO note the way In which
Michigan students are seeking omens
that point to victory for the wolver-
ines this afternoon. Since this Is q
year OF upsets and surprises, the
best omens OF all are those that
would ordinarily cause great lamenta-
ton.
Yesterday IL was discovered that
while the guardians Of the peace
have completed plans to properly curb
the exultant spirit OF the students ar
ter the Pennsy and Cornell games.
no such arrangements have been
made for tonight. Evidently the civic
authorities see no chance for the
Yostmen, and the Wolverines have
seized upon that fact as a great blow
to Harvard's chances. They could
not have been more pleased II Hugh
Fullerton had brought his statistics
to bear and announced that as the
Crimson had a .0001 edge over the in
vaders, Haughton's gridders could not
lose.
Incidentally. IL Michigan should

DISTRICT BILL GOES
OVER FOR HOLIDAYS

Consideration of the District appro-
priation bill has been discontinued by
the subcommittee of the Senate appro-
measure until after the Christmas re-
cess. i, was announced today. This
means the bill probably will not get
into the Senate much before the first
OF the new year. Several of the mem
hers of the subcommittee are out of the
city today.
The subcommittee is u unit in oppo-
s!tion to the Johnson amendment re-
realing the haIf-and-h half plan of ap-
uroprlating for the District, and that
feature of the House bill will be strick- =
.n out before the measure is reported
10 the Senate.
The subcommittee has several mat
.ers before it still for consideration,
but il is not expected that il will take
the committee long to complete its
work when the holidays are over.
The subcommittees ii charge of the
Legislative appropriation bill and the
Urgent deficiency bill also will allow
hose measures TO rest until after the
holidays
The deliberate manner iii which the
Senate committees are handling not
only the appropriation measures, but
also those bills which the President
has urged be enacted into law imme-
diately, is taken as an indication that
practically no Legislation will be en-
acted before March 4, except the gen
eraI appropriation bills. If the Pres-
dent desires to get action on his ship
purchase bill, the conservation bills
and the Philippine bill before 1916 it
will be necessary for him to call an
extra session of Congress after March
4. il is said.
