Reolution.
Be it resolved, that we, the board
of supervisors of Decatur county,
Iowa, in regular session assembled,
do hereby condemn the action Of the
State Highway Commission, and es-
pecially the member from this dis
trict in his actions in arbitrarily
changing and selecting new roads
where there were no contests, viz:
In vacating the Ocean Wave Trail,
connecting the town of Davis City,
Pleasanton and Lineville, and the
highway connecting Garden Grove
and High Point, and vacating Sec
ton of three miles from Garden
Grove to the Wayne county line, al
so from Decatur to Delray.
Be it further resolved, that all the
above named roads are practical, of
great value for traffic and can be
built up to the standard as required
by law without any great burden to
the taxpayers.
Be it further resolved that said
Highway Commissioner is acting ma
liciOusly and in bad faith and with
out consideration in the least to the
taxpayers of Decatur county, in ar
bitrarily selecting certain new high
ways some of which were never Pc
titi0ned for and which are Of minor
importance, not practical and not es-

WELSH AND WILLIAMS ONLY
NEW CHAMPIONS THIS YEAR

downfall Of the accepted white hope
champfon-Gunboat Smith. Sam
Langford definitely disposed of the
Gunner when he laid him low in the
third round of a contest at Boston a
few weeks ago.
In. the light heavyweight division
there have been no startling develop
ments. Jack Dillon. of indianapolis,
has performed the most consistently.
Among the middleweights, Jimmy
Clabby, of Hammond, Ind and Mike
Gibbons, of st. Paul. Mimi, are
looked upon as the leading contend
ers for the throne left vacant by the
peerless Stanley Ketchel.
The only blotch on Clabby's es-
cutcheon was plastered there by one
JeH smith, of Bavonne, in far-away
Australia last summer Smith was
given credit for having beaten Clab-
by on points in a twenty-round tus-
sic. Clabby contends that he was
not in the best of shape FOR that
match, due to the fact that he held
Smith too cheaply.
So far as the welterweight class Is
concerned it looks as IL this one-tine
notable division of pugilism is pass
ing into oblivion. The reason. for this
is attributed to the lack of high
class performers There are fewer
good we'ters than is the case in auy
other classification.
In the lightweight class the reier
of Freddie Welsh is not received WITH
favor because he is not the type ol
champion that finds approval from
boxing followers. Welsh undeniablN
is marvel of ring skill, but he does
not cart the heavy punch to make
him popular idol.
Many reports have been circulated
| regarding the increasing poundage q
Johnny Kilhane, boss of the feather.
| weight Brigade. but IL the word o
| Johnny himself is worth anythin.
! then he can easily make 122 pou1.d
If he finds it necessary to defend hi
championship.
The lack Of classy 123 Founders ha
forced Kilbane to accept matche
with lightweights, and it Is likel,
| that he viii continue battling Ii
that division until some good feath
erweight is developed to give him
match.
The leading contender just now 70
Williams's crown is Frankie Burns
of JERSEY City. who recently defeate
Pete Herman and "Chick" Hayes
Burns and Williams may meet in
championship battle in New Orlean
early next year.

villain and so is Cameron, but
Grim was a great gamester as a pu-
gilist, and Cameron is at least his
equal in cycling. 1t was said of Grim
that he didn't know when he WIS
beaten. The same can now be said
Of Cameron. George received a fall
last night in the race at the armory
that left him covered with bruises.
yet he fought with Manager Mac
Farland to be allowed to continue in
the grind. His forehead was laid
open with a cash that required sew
eral stitches, and his head and face
were otherwise badly bruised; still
as his wounds were being dressed
he prayed to be kept in the race and
declared that he and his little ANA
teur partner, Kaiser would win out
at the finish. Cameron is a notorious
"buller." as the boys say, and some
of them thought that George was
only bluffing in his desire to cons
tinue the race. It didn't seem possi-
BILE that any sane man would want
to ride a bicycle with such a head
as Cameron had after his terrible
fall

With the approach of the end Of
1914 the fans who are interested IN
things pugilistic are beginning TO
sum up the noteworthy events that
have featured the past twelve months
in the domain of pugilism.
First and foremost in the category
of history-making happenings is the
fact that only two ring champion
ships have changed hands.
Willie Ritchie has been stripped ot
his lightweight toga and the crown
now adorns the curly pate of slim
limbed Freddie Welsh, Of Wales.
Kid Williams, heavy handed
Dane. Of Baltimore. has succeeded
Johnny Coulsn as the reigning ruler
of the midgets in pugilism. Will
Jams won the bantam championship
when he stopped Coulon with a
punch in the third round of their
scheduled twenty-round contest al
Los Angeles June last.
So far as the other ring classifica-
tions are concerned the situation is
practically unchanged from what II
was when 1914 dawned
Jack johnson still is the king
among the heavyweights, and his
rule is likely to continue indefinitely
There Is serious talk Of a champion
ship match between Johnson and jess
willard, but so far the negotiations
have not progressed beyond the sign
ing of articles.
Jack Curley, famous as a wrestlinl
promoter; Tom Jones, manager o.
willard. and two or three eastern

plan to bring about a title bout be-
| tween the big smoke and the giant
Kansan, and it is possible that theS
may succeed in staging the mattel
before many more months elapse.
! whether Willard is the mai
| destined to bring back the cham
! pionship to the white race is an opei
| subject for debate. Willard is a gian
| both in statue and strength, and hi
| punching power Is tremendous, bu
! in the science of boxing he is a ray
novice.
True. he is showing signs of i'm
| provement in each succeeding con
test, but even at his present day de
| velopment he would be no equs
match for Johnson if the black cham
| pion were anywhere near the forr
| he enjoyed four years ago. Th
doubt that prevails over Johnson
condition is the only reason VIII
Willard is conceded possible chanC
to whip the negro.
The Kansan is young and can h
q fearful blow, but whether thes
qualifications are enough to max
him an even match 10 Johnson onl
the test of actual battle will detel
mine.

he is not particular where the money
Rupert. jr., whose name has been

Mr.. Farrell rarely has anything TO
say about baseball or even about his
own club. He doesn't have to, for he
is always able to find eight or ten or
a dozen intelligent dopesters who
know a hanged sight more than he
does about his own affairs. This goes
in other directions also, but it goes
double with Mr.. Farrell and the
Yankees. Strange, though true, is the
fact that almost any man in New
