SENSATIONAL MIDDLE WEIGHT
CONTENDER HAS MADE A
sTAGGER AT ALL GAMES.
NO FIGHTER He PROVES
After Failing at Such Trflng Pastmes
AS BIacksmithins, cIerkins and
Baseball, Chip Tried to Break Into
Fight Game with Disastrous Results.

George Chip, the end of whose
meteoric career as middleweight
contender was announced by press
dispatches in yesterdays Missoulian,
tried almost every occupation in the
world before becoming a fighter,
Chip was a boy in Pennsylvania
mining town. Naturally he started
out in life to be a miner, but in a
short time this work nalled on him.
1t was too hard. So he went to work
as blacksmith's helper
This is tough work, and swinging a
sledge and shoeing horses built UP
the future boxers muscles. But he
finally decided that it was also too
hard, though his work in the shop
strengthened him and probably did
more than any other thing to prepare
him for his position in the ring.
Was Clerk.
Having given up blacksmithing, he
| figured that the easiest Job in the
world was clerking. He tried it and
still he didn't like the work. The
cali of the diamond came to him, ane
he made an effort to be a baseball
/ player.
Chip could hit and throw, but he
was slow on his feet. He soon foune
that while he could hold his owr
down among the lower levels as frs
baseman, he could never rise. He
liked the game. but he found that i
got him nowhere.
Somebody persuaded him to tr,
boxing and he became one Of thu
crudest preliminary fighters that th'
game ever saw. He had a Wallop

He was very much discourage
When Buck Grouse Knocked him on
in the preliminary. to the ketchel
wanted to give up boxing forever. Blu
he could not think of anything els
he had not tried and SO stuck wit
the game.
This was in 1910. In the three year
since then Chip has learned d srea
deal. He is not ana never will be
finished boxer. But he can hit.
His punch is his greatest asset. H
Is simply clever enough to land

BASKETBALL TEAM GOES.

The local high school, first team,
having completed its season with but
one defeat and that by MarShfield on
a floor in that city unit for any team
to play on, is now ready to tackle any
team in this part of the country, the
boys have been set on getting to
Oshkosh and we have a strong team,
though some eastern and southern
state newspapers do not seem to
think so. Not having seen the red
and white play they are entirely unfit
to give their final decision. 1t was
evident last Sunday that something
was up. During that day it was
found out that an endeavor was be-
ing made to keep Wausau out of the
tournament at Oshkosh. After a
great deal of phoning from which
nothing was accomplished until last
evening, the manager at Oshkosh
said that he would arrange a pre-
liminary elimination game to be
played in all probability on neutral
territory with some other high school
whose chances for Oshkosh were
similar to ours. Marshfield is now
sure of going to Oshkosh, having won
in an elimination game from West
Green Bay. They have lost one game,
that to Waupaca and therefore we
say that we have as much right to be
represented at the preliminarieS as
any other team in this district. The
local players have challenged Marsh
field a number of times to a second
game but perhaps because of cold feet
thew have refused.

FRANCHISE GOES TO FREEPORT
A Meeting Of the Directors Held at Appleton
Yesterday, Vote WaGsau Out.
Injunction Served on President Weeks Turning Over
the Franchise to FfeepOrt.

At last the inside workings of those
who control the destinies in the Wis
consin-Illinois base ball league have
been made public. For the past week
lovers of base ball in Wausau have
been sitting on the ragged edge, in a
terrible state of suspense, first in
waiting to see if Freeport wanted to
purchase the franchise, and later ex-
periencing a change of heart. and
fearing that that city would want to
buy it. In the first place, interest IN
base ball here had reached very low
water stage, and at this time the
offer was made. 1t was then that the
base ball sky in Wausau clouded
up and we had deluge and the result
has been flood and the base bail
spirit is rampant. Word was sent
President Weeks not to sell the fran
chise, in the mean time Freeport had
agreed to purchase it. A protest was
sent in, and the excitement in Mex
leo hasn't been patching to that
which has disturbed the minds of the
base ball fans IL Wausau. They claim
that President Weeks has not dealt
fairly with them; chat he called a
conference of the league directors at
Appleton yesterday, ostensibly for the
purpose of arranging a schedule: that
