SOME TIGHT FINISHES IN FAIR GROUNDS RAGING
Preston Wilkes Took the Colt Race Asa Hall Finished First in the $4oo Purse.


 Tuesdays racing at the New Lon don county fair was keen and inter
 spersed with nice brushes between the favorites. It was good driving wealth CT, for the September tinge in the air
 put the racers on edge for strenuous
 squirting and the crowd of spectators was cool and comfortable. The wind
 from the northwest may have slowed
 down the times trifle. but it was not
 speed but closeness that kept the in- terest of the onlookers and the fin-
 ishes were all of them good, and some |of them tight.
 Up in their stand the starter and judges were on the spot bright and early, but the big cattle parade kept the horses waiting until close to 2 o'clock. Then the colts came on for their unfinished race of Monday af- ternoon and after them the 220 and the 2.35 classes. The motorcyclists | finished off the racing programme at
 6 o'clock with a spedey six mile event. Settled the Colt Race. | It took only one trial to decide the colt race, with half mile heats best two out of three. Preston Wilkes owned by Ernest Miller of Preston, came back Tuesday with the same win | ming form she showed in Mondays l last heat and headed the Norwich
 horse. Beatrice, handily. MT. Morgan's s Demon took third money. The sum- | mary:

-E.F
Joe Mandot and Matty McCue' will
be battling for their ring existence in
Racine tonight when they meet for a
ten-round clash. The future of Man
dot, especially, depends on the result.
The little Southerner, at one time
looked on as a leading contender for
lightweight honors, has gone back
since his defeat at the hands of Joe
Rivers, and is now in the second-rate
class. He is fine fighter, but cannot
travel the pace with Rivers, Wolgast
and Richie.
If he is trimmed by Mccue he will
be eliminated from the big purse
scraps, and, according to his own
statement, he hasn't enough money
yet to retire on. He should defeat Nc
Cue. Matty is another fellow who
started like a whirlwind and then
quieted down to gentle zephyr.
McCue is younger than Mandot,
and can rally from the defeat better.
He has lots of time, and can re-learn
the mitt game. In reality, that is
what he is doing. And it is hard work.
McCue,was better fighter as slam
bang waIIoper than an alleged clever
boxer.
President Weeghman of the local
Feds says emphatically that he is not
after Larry Cheney. He repeated that
he would not attempt to secure any
players from the Cubs or Sox.

Cubs, In Bad Condition, Lose-Feds
Thumped In Tight Battle.

Because of the horrible training
conditions they encountered, it is fair
to reserve judgment on the Cubs until
few more games have gone into the
record book. Yesterday was the first
decent afternoon for pastiming they
have struck for nearly three weeks.
So far O'Day's athletes have done
nothing that was expected of them,
with the exception of the pitchers.
Two of the hurlers, Pierce and Hum
phries, have worked in the fashion
that made them stars last year, and
both lost because they did not re-
ceive component assistance from the
other component parts of the ma
chine.
In one game out of five the Cubs
have exhibited the batting prowess
that was to have kited them to the
top rung of the ladder in the early
stages Of the race. In two games the
reconstructed infeld has conducted
itself properly on defense. Such in
consistency will not win ball games.
But there is time, and plenty of
excuses can be made for the falter-
ing Cubs. They are in worse condition
than any team in any of the three big
leagues. This is not because the ath-
letes are drones, but is due to the
succession of cold afternoons spent
on the exhibition trip, resulting in
postponements of games which kept
the players idling in hotel Hobbies.
The infield has been given little
opportunity to work together since
the new alignment was drawn up.
The batters have not faced strong
pitching often enough to accustom
their eyes to break and shoots. 1t is
a fatal combination, but better things
can be hoped for after the squad
lands on the West Side tomorrow.
Beginning tomorrow with game
against the Reds on the home lot, the

STATE SUPREME COURT HANDS
DOWN LENTHY OPINION ON
QUESTION TODAY.

JANUARY 1ST, 1915
Seventeen Circuit Judges and Ten
Chancellors Must Be Voted For a.
November EIection--Associate jus

Special to The Netps.

Special to The Ne,os.
Jackson, Miss, Feb. 9.-The SUI
preme court handed down an opinion
today declaring that the amendment
to the constitution providing for the
election of circuit judges and chancel.
lors, and abolishing the appointive
system, is valid and binding.
This means that the legislature must
now pass an act providing for the elec-
tion of seventeen circuit judges and
ten chancellors at the regular election
in November and the terms of all in
cumbents now holding under the ap-
pointive system will expire on the 1st
of next January.
Two years ago the legislature in
serted the elective judiciary amend
ment into the constitution, it having
been adopted at the general election
in 1911. A bill was then passed pro.
viding for the election of circuit judges
and chancellors, which was vetoed by
Governor Brewer just prior to the ad
journment of the 1912 session on the
ground that it was unconstitutional.

Gov. Brewers veto of the act of 1912
was based on the opinion that the

Jackson, Miss, Feb. "a clash over
the Photographic reproduction of the
voice Of William ]. Bryan is one of the
interesting events on tapis for the leg
islative session this week.
Advocates of the guarantee of de-
posits clause of the Kyle banking bill
want to have talking machine set
up on the speakers desk, and repro
duction given of Mr.. Bryan's famous
speech in advocacy of the guarantee
system.
Opponents of the guarantee system
are determined that this innovation
shall not take place, declaring that they
do not want to be placed in the ridicul-
GUS attitude of the familiar fox terrier
listening to His Masters Voice."
Three weeks ago the legislature ex-
tended an invitation to Mr.. Bryan to
come to Jackson and deliver an ad-
dress on the subject of banking legis-
lation. The invitation was declined,
Mr.. Bryan saying that he could not
leave Washington, owing to the pres
sure of official business.
Opponents of the guarantee system
were not at all enthusiastic over the
invitation extended to the eminen
Nebraskan. but. being good Democrats
they voted for it. Having failed to ge
