WINTER SPORTING DOPE FROM EVERYWHERE
WoIgast- White Battle Feb. 9 May Be
Postponed-st Quarrel.

Numerous complications, including
a battle between promoters, may
cause postponement of the AID VOL
gast-C Charley White mill, scheduled
for the night of Feb. in Milwaukee.
Tom Andrews, a Milwaukee pro-
moter, has White signed to meet any
133-pounder Feb. 9. Frank Mulkern,
the other leading light in Cream City
fistic circles, claims to have con-
tract with Wolgast. One of these
stage managers must yield, and the
decision will probably rest with VOL
CAST. l.
MUIkern does not approve of the
Feb. 8 date, and advances some ex-
cellent reasons for a postponement.
He claims that the contemplated
scrap follows too closely on the heels
of the Rivers-W olgast tangle, and
will result in a, loss of money for the
promoters.
Evidently Mulkern is differently
constructed from the majority of
fight promoters. In the past men
owning clubs have rushed matters
and punched fights, in an effort to
make quick financial cleanup. The
result has invariably been to dampen
interest in the sport, ultimately caus-
ing the game to become practically
dead.
Milwaukee must depend in great
measure on Chicago patronage for
the success of its fights, and fans
here will not stand the tariff of too
frequent trips to the Wisconsin city.

Four Maps Believed to Have Signed
With Federal League. -.

Continuing their policy OF weaken
ing the trailing teams and the run
ners-up in the two big leagues, the
Feds have torn some important parts
ont of the machine of the Cleveland
Maps, and it is doubtful if this bunch
will IVORY the Athletics much during
the coming season.
Washington is also reported to
have suffered the loss of Clyde Milan,
next to Walter Johnson the most
valuable man Griffith has, star field
er and leading base stealer for the
past two seasons.
None of these reports come from
Federal League headquarters. The
policy of secrecy is being maintained
there, and no information is given
out regarding the signing of players.
Charley Somers, owner Of the
Maps, is authority for the belief that
Cy FaIkenberg, Fred Blanding and
George Kahler, star right-handers,
have thrown in their fortunes with
the Federals.
KahIer is said to be slated for Pitts
burgh, Falkenberg for indianapolis
and Blanding to Buffalo.
Ray Chapman, Nap shortstop, and
one of the best infielders developed
in the American within the past four
years, is reported to have jumpd to
indianapolis along with Falkenberg.
The pair are pals, and Faiky is said
to. have prevailed on the peppery
youngster to desert.

A considerable part of the hard la

Most of the old Belgian forts have
been entirely remodeled; some have
been raised, some lowered, with a
view to greater efficiency of shell fire
or to increasing the sweep of a coun-
try which their guns can command.
There are several false batteries clev-

GERMANY'S MILITARY
MACHINES THE MOST
PERFECT EXISTING
(By Associated Press.)

AMSTERDAM, Nov. 3O.-No better
illustration can be given of the far
sightedness and thoroughness of the
German military machine than the ell
aborate rebuilding operations in
course of completion at Liege. In the
comparatively short time since it's
forts were wrecked by the invaders
artillery, Liege has been rebuilt into
a modern German fortress, and is to
be used as an object lesson for stud
ents in the German military schools.
1t is built as though the Germans ex-
pect to stay. All the Belgian forts
have been repaired, with single ex-
ception; much Of the old artillery has
been replaced with Krupp fortress
cannon of the latest type, and even the
landscape has been remodeled with a
view to defense. All the newest ideas
of German and Austrian military ex-
perts have been embodied in the plac-
ing of ordinance, in the erection of
ramparts, in trenches, observation
places, highway mines, secondary
batteries, and block houses.
There is an intricate system of con-
Meeting works between the various
main points of the outlying defenses.
Great attention has been paid to the
use of villages and forests for conceal
ing Notifications. The trenches are

ATLANTA IS READY
FOR HOG AND HOMINY
CARNIVAL THURSDAY
Especial to Times-Recorder.)


ATLANTA, Ga, Nov. 3O.-Every de-
tail has been arranged for the big Hog
and Hominy carnival here on the af-
ternoon and evening of next Thursday.
December 8. Business organizations
of all kinds have unanimously Endorsed
the project and it will be one of the
red-letter days in Atlanta's calendar.
The railroads have granted special
rates from virtually all sections of
the state, which equal, for the round
trip, one fare plus twenty-five cents.
An influx of visitors is expected.
Features of the carnival will be an
outdoor parade in the afternoon and
a public ball, to which everyone is in
vited, in the evening. In the parade
will be several thousand marchers,
and many floats and exhibits. Mayor
Woodward has declared a half-holiday
to permit masking and high jinks". 1t
will be like the famous Mardi Gras
of New Orleans.
Atlantans are now voting for a
queen of the carnival ball, and the
coronation of Her Majesty, with a
court of % maids of honor, will be a
feature of the ball. Georgians every
where are invited to come to Atlanta
and join in the fun.

PANAMA, Nov. 30.-With view to
preventing accidents, Governor Goe-

canal shall be operated on strictly
sober basis. His order, issued upon
the suggestion of Captain Hugh Rod
man, superintendent of the canal traf-
fic, affects all persons employed on
the canal who possess marine licenses
such as pilots, tug masters, and
mates and those in charge of the
dredges at work in the canal-and the
Incorporating forces. The order,
among other restrictive provisions,
forbids any canal pilot entering a sa-
loon while in uniform.
1t is believed that the order will en-
courage confidence on the part of the
ship-owners using the canal, and pos
sibly have some influence toward pre-
venting increase of marine insurance
rates on vessels passing through the
canal.

LONDON, Nov. 30.-Realizing the
need of recreation centers for women
whose protectors have entered the
army, American and English women
are making an effort in London to pro-
vide wholesome amusements and tenn
perance refreshments for women who
might otherwise go to public houses
to hear war news and discuss the pro-
gress of the armies in Europe.
Lady Henry Somerset and a number
of associates have established a tenn
perance public house exclusively for
women and children, which is the
first of chain they expect to open
throughout London, to Offset the temp
tations of the ordinary public houses
during the war.
A disused beerhouse on Arthur
street has been converted into what
is called the Women's War Club. Lit
tie change has been made in the bar,
excepting that only temperance drinks
will be served.
In discussing the new movement,
Lady Henry said: "The club is being
formed for the wives of soldiers fight
ing abroad and the subscription is to
be two-pence a month.
at will be a meeting place where
these women can talk over the late
war news, read the papers, write let
ters and obtain light refreshments. We
are providing a graphaphone and in
addition will arrange for some sort OF
concert almost every morning.
women will be permitted to bring
their children with them and matron
will be provided whose duty it will be
to assist mothers in looking after the
little folks in room especially ar.
