Mandot, the Frenchman, in Frank Null
kern's Cream City arena as the open
ing gun OF the 1914-15 Wisconsin box
ing season. 1t is 4 lightweight clash,
a second meeting of the principals and
a mix-up that has all the ups and
downs of 4 popular novel romance.
Back in 1911 Wolgast, then the lead
er of the 132-pound division, met this
soft speaking baker boy in the New
Orleans ball park, and it was here that
he began to show signs of going back
for Mandot, trimmed him decisively

horse in Santiago for S25 or $50 and
for less in the country. In illustration.

by Miss May Crommelin in Mendoza;
up rode a gaucho, dressed in white.
il I remember rightly-no worse than
his fellows, at any rate. He bestrode
a nag, sorry enough, yet still capable,
and wore a medal round his neck. Off
came his hat with a bow of much
grace. but he stretched out his hand
toward the window grating imploring

MAKE CHANGES IN
The ASSOCIATION
Galesburg and Keokuk WabbIy
and Dubuque and Quincy
Seek Places.

The pennant season in the Central
association having been finished with
Waterloo as victor, attention is now
being turned to the makeup of the
circuit for the coming season, the DIS
posal of players by draft and sale, and
the placing of the various managers
who have piloted the Central associa-
ton clubs this season.
The battle for the pennant, which
was won by Waterloo, closed Sept. Z.
and was one of the most exciting ever
fought in the history of the circuit
Waterloo won the pennant in the next
to the last game with Burlington, the
Pilots barely nosing out Muscatine
for second place. The race for fourth
position between Clinton and Cedar
Rapids was also won in the last series
by Clinton.
The makeup of the circuit is as yet
problematical The only two uncer-
tainties are Galesburg and Keokuk.
There has been some talk of the lat
ter city dropping out of the league,
and it is uncertain just what Keokuk
will do. There is a feeling, however,
that Keokuk will stick. the attendance
there having been sufficient to insure
success for a good manager.
Galesburg is not at present in a po-
sition to say what it wants to do next
season and it appears to be matter
which rests with the directors of the
league whether or not that city will be
retained in the circuit.
There are two other cities looking
with covetous eyes toward the Central
association. Dubuque is one, and it is
thought that city will attempt to take
Galesburg's place, Ned Egan going
there as manager with his left-overs
if that city gets into the circuit. The
other city is Quincy, which is said to
regret its leaving the association sew
eraI years ago.

Illinois Head Coach Keeps in
Touch With His Football
Prospects. ,--
CHICAGO HAS STRONG LINE
Shorty Des Jardien, AiI-AmerIea Sc
lection, Back at center-AI-
berts and scanIon Strong.

Urbana, ILL.,, Sept. 15.-Making ready
for his second season at Illinois. Coach
Bob Zuppke is anxiously awaiting re-
ports from several of his stars. whose
eligibility is threatened by scholastic
deficiencies Not until the Illini squad
formally gathers on Illinois will "Zup"
be able to estimate his material. But
it is certain tina: prospects are far
brighter than they were a year ago
when the little coach took a big jump
from high school to conference ath-
letics.
Up in the Michigan woods for brief
rest before the arduous campaign
opens, Sup is in constant CORE
spondence with his players. Captain
tSlooey" Chapman. who has been
pitching hay and running 10 miles a
day at Vienna, ILL.,, sent word this week
that he is in great physical shape.
Harold Pogue, the quarterback SEN
sation on Illinois field in 1913, has
been hard at work at Manistee, Mich,
while Bart Macomber has taken daily
workouts at South Haven.
Chicago Prospects Bright.
That the University of Chicago will
be represented by the strongest center
trio Of the west-if not in the country
is the consensus of opinion among
the Maroon fans. While the more keen
observers of the gridiron sport agree
that this years team looks formidable
from end to end, there has been no In
clination on their part to single out
any special department.
Captain Shorty Des Jardien, center,
ant. Butch Scanlon and John Alberts,
guards, are the men touted as the most
powerful at their positions. The cap
tain. they say, is admittedly the peer
of pivot men. His earning a position
on the 1913 all-American eleven speaks
for itself. He has the size, speed and
strength to go with his innate ability.
Butch Scan1on, also, should be fac
tor in the teams success. Butch al
ways was a fighter. In his first year
the former Hyde Park star was little
else, but two years under Stage have
resulted in his acquiring valuable
pointers as to the way in which guard
should be played, and he has been
changed to an aggressive, hard-work-
ing player.

Another Waddell Story.

Every story told of the late George
"Rube" Waddell isn't true. When
starring in "The Stain of Guilt" Wad-
dell's press agent dug up the files of
long ago and made him the hero of
many escapades, much to the players
delight.
There's one the press agent didn't
evolve, however. It's been told on
Waddell by gentlemen of veracity.
Back in the days when the corsairs
roamed on Smoky Island, Waddell had
habit of loafing around the club Of
fee, sticking up officials for passes.
One afternoon while the rush
through the gates was on, Waddell
CHANGED to be in the office. The phone
bell sounded. Next to a fire alarm
there is nothing "Rube" admired
more than a phone call. He raced to
the receiver, yanked it from its perch
with a loud Hello. What's the mat
ter?"
Waddell listened to a mortal at the
other end of the line and then glanced
into a corner of the room. wait
minute" yelled Waddell into the trans
mitter With a bound he darted to
that corner, grabbed up an umbrella,
and rushing over to the phone, held it
in front of the mouthpiece and reared:

to sunset in order to make a living.
He believes that the time has arrived
when the American farmer is not
drudge, compelled to work from early
morning until late at night without
any of the benefits of Goth century
civilization. He believes that home
is omething besides a shack where
whole colony can content themselves
in less space than an American family
of half dozen. He believes that
schools and churches are to be used
for making a pleasanter and better
life for his people.
All of these things do not appeal to
the Oriental, who settles among US.
He is willing to slave early and late
and economic in his living expenses
in order that he may accumulate
something for his family and his
country. These are laudable ambi-
lions. We do not blame these Orien-
tails who come among us to better
their conditions, but we must face
the psychological fact that the two
races cannot mix. Twenty centuries
of environment, education and meth
DDS of living have raised a barrier
which cannot be overcome. They
come among us equal in intelligence,
more ambitious perhaps, and with
fewer demands in their methods of
living. While these are admirable
qualities in themselves they only add
to the impossibility of the two people
living together in harmony. While
we admire these qualities and their
courage in leaving their home and
settling where they can better their
conditions, we realize the impossible

admissions as they choose, Americans
have no trouble in passing over the
line. In fact they are anxious for
them to do so. Although it is part
OF English territory and England gov
ems India still little is said about
the passage of this law, which look
ing at it from world wide stand
point is decidedly unjust But when
our country attempts to pass much
milder law for our own protection we
are met with a statement that we are
violating treaties with friendly ma
lions. We believe if President Wilson
understood the situation won held

ity of harmony where they settle in
any numbers. We believe that the
first duty of our nation is to protect
its own citizens.
For this reason congress should
pass the Oriental exclusion law, bar
ring more laborers and farmers from
this country. If law passed for the
protection of our own people cause

tons, this nation should not hesitate
to prepare itself for conflict that

ORIENTAL IMMIGRATION.

President Wilson has disappointed
his warmest friends by opposing the
literacy test for foreign immigrants.
In this his opinions differ with the
best thought of the members of con-
gress as we'll as the American people.
It is surprising in man of so broad
craftsmanship as the president, and
can only be accounted, for from the
fact that he is working out a very
delicate problem with the Japanese
government. The American people,
especially those on the Pacific Coast
we're deeply disappointed in the
action taken by congress a few days
ago regarding the Oriental exclusion
act. Evidently the government of
Japan has the state administration
"butfaloed. - The law as finally draft
ed will exclude only the Hindus. The
Hindus being unorganized and I'M
able to protect themselves will be
compelled to obey this law while the
Japanese who are active and have a
strong navy are relieved from its pro-
visions.
The United States government wi |
never have a better time than at
present to outline its future course
in regard to Oriental immigration.
The trouble is that only we OF the
Pacific Coast realize the danger. The
great mass of American people know
nothing of the danger because they
see none Of it's effects. People Of the
Pacific Coast, have plenty of evidence
OF the effect of an over-supply OF
Orientals, whether Hindus in the
mills, or Chinese and japanese on the
farms. 1t proves to have blighting
effect wherever great numbers OF
these people congregate The ability
to pay high price rental for Wash
ington and Oregon lands and hereto
fore to buy high priced land in Cali
fornia gives them entire control OF
communities in a short time.
The American farmer will not and
cannot stay in a neighborhood of
Japanese. They can live cheaper and
they work longer hours, nave less ex-
pense and therefore can sell cheaper,
so a white man cannot compete.
Some will say that the tittest should
survive and if the American cannot
meet the competition he should be
eliminated This appears plausible
in theory but in practice the Anglo
Saxon does not take kindly to eliml-
nation. He believes and justly so,
that he has a prior right to the
benefits of the great nation which
has been built up by the blood and
Drawn of his ancestors. He believes
farther that we have passed that age
of labor conditions where the mother
and wife is compelled to go to the
field, working long days from sunrise
