HUMAN HERD BOOK.
Is Advocated by DIR. Kellogg at Race
Betterment Conference.

Battle Creek, Mich, JAM. 10.-A
eugenfc registry ofilce for the purpose
of developing a race of human thor
oughbreds was one of the suggestions
Of DIR. J. HI. Kellogg of Battle Creek,
speaking today at the national confer
ence for race betterment. TT only
takes four generations to make a
thoroughbred, when the principles of
eugenics have fair chance to oper-
ate" said DR.. Kellogg. I'VE have reg
istrtes for horses. cattle, sheep, pigs
and even cats and dogs. If a lady
wishes to establish the standing Of her
pet poodle she can do 80 by appeal
ing to an official record and the puny
canine may lift it's head above it's fell
lows as a born aristocrat. but nowhere
on earth, az far as / know, is there
to be found registry for human thor
oughbreds.
''The hope is entertained by mem-
bers of this conference that one of the
tablishment of such a registry In
deed. it seems the time has fully
come when a eugenic registry office
should be stablished in which may be
recorded the names OF infants who
are born under eugenic conditions and
who In person and pedigree are able
to measure up to eugenfc standards -
DIR. Kellogg prefaced his plea for q
eugentcs registry with q resume of de-
terforating influences now actively at
work-such as increasing insanity, in
creasing crime, high infant mortality
and decreased hfe expectancy. He
emphasized the importance of pure
blood rather than blue blood. Some
Of his recommendations for race bet
terment are greater activity of health
omciab. health education in the pub
lie schools. biologic surveys of every
community. periodical medical exami-
nation. health certificates before mar
riage. sterilization of detectives and
most important of all. the establish
mont Of eugenics registers"

NY experience has taught me that this

discover that hard muscles will slack

wouldn't give a rap for boxer with
out rapidity.
Join an Athletic Club.
my advice to any young man who
desires to become a clever boxer IL
to join some good, clean athletic club
Of amateurs. This no doubt will en-
able him to keep out of mischief and
from taking part in many worthless
things which are of no service what
ever. Any intelligent young man will
learn more from freQuenting clubs of
this kind than by standing on the
street corners. In short time he will
learn enough to put on the gloves
with some of the more unaccom-
plished members. After a few bouts
he will soon find out whether nature
intended him for a champion or not.
All men are not born to become
champions and young boxers will
soon discover this after a few sharp,
snappy settos.
II claim that every healthy young
fellow with a good physique and a
bright brain can become a clever box
er by close attention, hard practice
and the use of good judgment. 1 do
not claim by this that he can become
the fighter OF great note always, as
there are many skillful and fancy
boxers who will not stand before q
man Of less ability and more heart.
When it comes to real fighting the
heart plays very important part for
sure. However, it Is not necessary
for us all to be champions. Some of
our most wealthy and best fixed men
who made their money in the ring
were never champions but were only
good boxers"

but we have our doubts about his abil-

1t begins to look like Joe Tinker will

Frank Isbell asserts that the sport

JAkE'S JUNK.

The future Of baseball in Wichita pro-
bably will be settled today. Whether
Wichita will stay In the Western
League in the face of all that has been
said to the contrary will be determin-
ed at q meeting of the board OF direc-
tors Of the association. Baseball affairs
in that town appear to be hanging on
pivot and several thousand dollars
must be raised. and In short order, If
the team and franchise IL retained. A
call for q meeting to be held recently
was given no attention and now the
board Of directors win make another
attempt.
1t is reported that persons interest
ed in the Kansas State League team in
Salina. want Hutchinson to accept q
franchise for the coming season.
Hutchinson has more than 1900 people
and could support q team. The city
has been without professional baseball
for three years and the fans supported
semi-professional organisation last
season.
The greatest knock recorded of late
in baseball circles originated recently
in the Emporia Gazette, published by
William Allen White, the Progressive
leader. He may be q leader in politics
but-well, Rad it: "A story beng print

IA FEDERAL RAID
Get Signatures of Packard, Ad
Brennan, Killifer and Cole.
Expect Announcement to Cause
Wavering Majors to Sign.

Chicago. Jan. 10.-Gene Packard.
pitcher for the Cincinnati National
League club: Ad Brennan. and William
Killifer. pitcher and catcher respective
ly. for the Philadelphia Nationals. and
Leonard (King) Cole. pitcher for the
New York Americans, have signed
three year contracts with the Chicago
Federal League club. Their salaries
have been guaranteed
The amount OF salary the men will
receive was not made public.
Other contracts had been signed. but
announcements will be withheld for q
few days. Within q week the name Of
the manager Of each Of the eight clubs
will be made public.
This deal went far towards providing
a full pitching staff for the local club.
Joe Tinker Is said to have declared
that Packard, WHO was with him last
year In Cincinnati. is the most prom
ising young left handed pitcher in or
ganixed baseball. Packard went to Gin
cinnati from the Columbus club of the
American Association.
Kinifer started playing professional
ball with the Kalamazoo, Mich, club
going to San Francisco and returning
to the Texas League. In 1910 he ap-
peared with the st. Louis American
League club but was released to the
Buffalo club OF the International
League, from which he was drafted by
Philadelphia
Ad Brennan From wichita.
Cincinnati bought Brennan from
Wichita, Kan. in 1903, and let him go
in the trade with Philadelphia by which
Red Corriden went to the Ohio city.
Cole pitched brilliantly for the Chi
cago Cubs in 1910. but was traded to
the Columbus Association club, from
which he was drafted by New York.
The four players are in the youngster
class. according to Weeghman, who
said Tinker considered them especially
desirable members of the club because
of that fact. Tinker il on the road and
1t was said additional contracts will be
announced within few days.
The Philadelphia club was the hard
lest hit by the announcement. Otto
Knabe. who deserted the Phi1adelphias
to sign as manager for the Baltimore
club. was here when the signatures of
his former teammates became public.
He rejoiced when he heard they had
entered the new league and said he
knew several stars who had been Of
fered Federal places. but who were
waiting to see what other players left
organized baseball to cast their lots
with the Federals-
wavering Majors May Sign Now.
He expressed the belief that the
signing of the four players would re-
suit IN swinging several others who
have been wAvering for several days.
Reports were persistent that Vic
Sair. first baseman with the Chicago
Nationals. had signed contract with
the st. Louis Federals. The rumora
were not confirmed and Knabe inti-
mated that he would visit Sair's home
In Lansing. Mich. and try to sign him
for the Baltimore club. Knabe spent
several hours with Gilmore and
seemed disappointed that Tinker waa
not in the city.

Gonzales stated his own force now
numbered 10000 men. while rein
forcements were arriving from other
places. Villas strength was not given
in the message from Gonzales.
II is believed that decisive battle
will be fought in the vicinity of Que

GONZALES APPEALS
FOR PEACE IN MEXICO

EI Paso, Tex, Nov. 12.--Offieial re-
ports from Mexico City today said that
several chiefs headed by Gen. Pablo
Gonzales, Carranza's principal leader,
has sent messages to the first chief
and Provisional President Gutierrez
appealing a second time that both
Carranza and Villa resign their posts,
II was also reported. but unconfirmed
from the Villa side that Gonzales had
deserted Carrnn2a and offered his
services to the convention.
The signers of the two kilograms
included Gonzales, Gen. Lucio Blanco
and Gen. Antonio Villareal, who had
acted as president OF the convention
before the election of Gutierrez. They
asked Carranza to resign Sin order to
prevent circumstances growing gray-
err" They advised the first chief that
they also had sought the elimination
OF villa.
Should he not retire absolutely"
they said, we pledge ourselves to
subjugate him to law and order"
From Gutierrez they requested that
he order villa TO leave the country.
They promised that they would also
arrange for carranza to leave Mexico.
The affair has evoluted into mere
ly a renewal of Carranza's original
proposition that he resign with villa
which had met with a deadlock, and
was taken as a final effort TO adjust
peacefully the old factionaf quarrel.
Rafael Il. Muzquiz, Carranza's con-
sular chief, stated today that he had
official advices from Mexico City that
4 total of 10000 troops had remained
loyal to the first chief Villa agents
never have claimed more than half
that humber in the regular division
commanded by the northern chieftain.

The high privates in the rear ranks
Of the army of good citizenship are

he and the members Of his family not

this. If the wealth Of the city had

Big Money Coming Late.
IL is not to be understood, however,
that the men of the city, able to give

fused to do so. In fact, the soliciting
committees have been able to see but
n few of these who are In position
TO say Just what they will give. There
have been no refusals from the
wealthy: il is simply that they are
waiting. Some of them are out OF the
CITY. others must confer with bust
ness associates or with boards OF di.
rectors. while others have asked Tor
time in which to consider what
amount they can afford 10 give.
In view of the fact that compare .
lively few of the Weather men OF
the city have been reached, the pres
ent showing of $3t, 1858 is remarkable,
and the daily totals may be expected
TO reach ten thousand and over az
the subscriptions Of these men ne
gin to come in Y M. C. A. headquar-

buttons are expected.
An urgent appeal Is issued to all
automobile owners 10 contribute the
use of their cars for one or more days
of the campaign. The soliciting COM
