MIKE DONALDSON IS
CLAIMANT OF TITLE
"GentIeman Boxer" Will Defend
the Southern MiddleWeight
Championship Against All.

Mike Donaldson is back in the Capital,
greeting his many friends and telling
them his travels during the past few
weeks. Furthermore. he came out to-
day with the announcement that he
claims the middleweight championship
of the South and stands ready to de-
fend the title against anybody.
well, boys, it's great to be back
in Washington" said Mike today. Il
am surprised to find that Gunner Sell
man isn't back yet from vera CRUZ ;
title by virtue of what he did at Ard
more, I am claiming 1t now by what 1
hope to do. I wanted to meet him be-
fore he left for Mexico and began train
ing: He had to leave In a hurry: That
I shall defend the title he claimed. Then,
when he shows up again, Wen go to the
floor for the championship that will be
undisputed."
Donaldson means to remain in the
Capital until he is defeated. He says
that means he will become a citizen
of Washington. AS soon as he can
find an opponent, he will commence
training. though he will keep. in shape
continually with light work; Nike Ike
probably work out with him. Shankey
Gardner and Young Montana, two local
boys. will complete his stable Of assis-
tants.
The latest claimant to the Southern
title is not of the rough neck type
Of boxer. On the other hand, he de-
lights to pose as a gentleman boxer,
which is now all the style, since Willie
Richie. Packey Mcfarland, Georges
Carpenter and Fre6tie Welsh drew at
tention to them. AS a matter Of fact,
Stanley Ketchel. late middleweight
champion, was the original gentleman
boxer" spending most of his off-time
with millionaires and society kings.
Donaldson was a sparrtng partner OF
Ketchers for moro than two years, and
his friends are those who followed
Ketchel from coast to ocast to see him
dispose of would-be champions.
"I have been in New York most or
the time since leaving my many friends
heer," said Donaldson today. But it's
sort Of slow up there just now and I'd
rather stick around here. I hope the
Ardmore club gets busy again, for I'd
like to show my friends there what I
can do.

being given to the Analostan Boat
Club junior oarsmen at the Analostan

the race from finer vantage point
than the referes himself. and who is
firmly of the belief that the Analos-

President Pairo will call the water

night, and each oarsmen and the cox

A Star In the Shadows.

Sitting In front of the buckingham
Hotel, in St Louis. the other night. we
had long talk with Three-Fnger
Brown. In this conversation there came
up once again remembrance of one of
the greatest crimes that baseball has
ever known. Brownie was talking Of
the old Cub days.
What a sucker I was he remarked.
when was out there working almost
every other day and warming UP the
rest of the time, pitching my arm on.
Murphy used to come to me and tell
me not to worry. that he realized what
! had done for him, how much money
/ had made for him, and that he In
tended to take care of me for life. Two
months after hurt my knee, with a
three-year contract ahead, he sold me to
Louisville, with the understanding that
was never to be sent back to the
majors. and was never to get over $500
month. Yet there are people wonder
ing why there was any need OF Fed

The National League, as league. was
almost as much to blame for this as
Murphy. That one move should have
driven the Cub magnate out of baseball

fession ever known-and, morally. the

THIS is an age of advertising and a
man who wants to attract the atten-
tion OF the public must advertise, or
the attention Of the public will not
be attracted. IL has been said by a
modern philosopher: "The man who
tooteth o his own horn, his horn
will not be footed" This particularly
applies to politicians, and the most
successful politician is the nan who
tooteth his own horn. They are all
doing IT this pleasant month Of Oc-
tober, and one Of the the most sue
cessful tooters In this state is Hugh
II. Williams. There are two other
men after the job, Mr.. Williams
wants. and the chief charge they
bring against him is that he toOts his
own horn, and condemn him for doing
It, and after condemning him spend

Mr.. Williams has spent most Of his
time, while asting as commissioner in
attending to small things, and point
to the many small cases that we're
brought up before the commission,
and the matter righted, some involv-
ing but a few cents. The American
railroad and telegraph company is the
most impersonal thing In the world.
The average citizen can not get to
those In authority. They go TO the
local agent with a complaint Of an
overcharge, or any other grievance.
He tells them he has no authority to
correct the wrong, but will pass It
along to those In authority, and that
is the last that is heard Of It. 1t is
not the amount at stake, but the
principle Of the thing with him, and
1t makes him sore. Hehas found that
he can take his grievance to the cor
poration commission, and that it will
be taken up, no matter whether 1t is
two bits or a thousand dollars, and
If he has been wronged the wrong will
be rlghted. One prominent candidate
intimates that II he is elected the
time Of the commission will not be
wasted on such small matters. If he
Is elected the mar In New Mexico
with a small grievance will have TO
swallow it as he did in the past. The
commission Of which Mr.. Williams
has been a member has not confined
Itself to the small things. When it
was organized it was a new depart
ment, 1t had to block out a course Of
procedure, and was hampared by the
fact that 1t had no real authority to
enforce its decisions, and If a corpor-
alton refused to do as the commission
wanted them to it had to go to the
supreme court TO have them enforced.
Notwithstanding this the commission
has done some good work. 1t took
up the matter of the adjustment Of
the interstate freight rates, made a
mastery presentation Of the case to
the interstate commerce commission
which has not yet rendered a deci-
sion. Already the rate on sugar has
been reduced from California, Colo
RADIO and New Orleans. 1t has Sc
cured a readjustment Of the express
rates in the state. 1t has regulated
the milage book question, so that now
a man can buy a milage book and
travel with it on any road In the
state. Heretofore a traveller had to
carry several books, and then there
were roads on which none OF them
were good. Oh, yes, Mr.. Williams
and his companions have accomplish
ed much for the state, and If ever
man has served the people so as tC
have deserved a reelection that mar
is Hugh II. Williams.
