Wrong to Buy German Ships.

Paris, Aug. 24.-Edourd Clunet,
former president of the Institute Of
International Law, to-day made
known the result of his examination
into the question Of the right Of
Americans to buy German steamers
now in refuge in American ports.
The French law, M. Clunet found,
since 1878 has forbidden Frenchmen,
when neutrals, to buy ships Of bel
ligerents after hostilities have begun.
France and Great Britain together
it Is claimed, the authorities examin-
ed showed had refused to recognize
the sale Of Russian SHIPS after a war
had begun and the declaration of
London, signed in 1909 by Germany,
Austria, France, Great Britain, ia
pan and Russia, forbids such sales.
An opinion along this line by Rear
Admiral G. II. stockton, U. S. NJ, is
cited by M. Clunet.

Mike Gibbons May Have Made
Big Mistake in Agreeing to Make
145 Pounds for M'Farland Go

Their 1t, would be a real welterweight

The efforts of some fighters who try

failure. There was one man-Bob
F1tzsimmons-who made a success of
It, being both middle weight and
heavy weight champion at the same
time, but there are few men of that
class in the fighting game.
PackeN Mcfarland has tried to
stick to The lightweight class when he
should be in the middle-weight class.
1t is unfortunate that both Of these
boys are a bit light for the heavier
classes they should be in, but, never
theless, they are not entitled to places
III the lighter classes. Gibbons is a
great boxer, and his wonderful show
ing against Bob McAllister, the Cali
fornia fighter, stamps him as a con-
tender once more for the middle
weight crown.

As George Chip has twice put Frank

are some who doubt his ability to do
SO, although his manager, Jimmy
Dime, says he can.

COLLEGE SPORTS
ARE EXPENSIVE
Cost One Billion a Year, But
Money Does Not Pay the
Physical Exercises.

Blommington, Ind. Jan. 23.-Ath-
letic expenses of colleges in the Unit
ed States moun to more than one
billion dollars Il year but the major
portion of the money does not go to
pay for physical exercises of the stu
dents. This information was contain
ed in the report of DR.. Ii. Shindie
Winsert, director Of physical educa-
ton at Ohio State university which
was received by the athletic authors
ties of indian university today,
The majority of students attending
American colleges do not take the
physical exercises necessary to keen
their bodies in a healthful condition,
the report says. DIR. Wingert shows
that of 111,60O students in $50 insti-
buttons only 1889 participate In the
athletic games while in non-varsity
games 1873 men TAX part. On the
sports not played under the direc,ion
Of colleges only $4,000 is spent an
nually.
Out of 143 colleges taking part in
tercollegiate sports 30 per cent take
no interest in fostering any type OF
physical exercise, the report says.
Fifty-one per cent try to create love
for sports, by promoting football, base
ball. basketball and other games.
T~wenty-one per cent give. corrective
exercises; IA per cent Shygeinic Tee
lures; i've per cen require swimming
and two per cent teach dancing.
DIR. Wingert's investigation is part
of the program being carried on -py
colleges to have all students particle

the baseball public just now are
focused in the general direction of
Messrs. Chance, Sailing, Carrigan,
Hickey and Robinson and voices are
asking:
"Whatn you fellows do in 1912"
Anybody who can answer that
question just now will come mighty
close to ~forecasting just what the fin
ish will be in both leagues next Octo-
Der.
The above mentioned quintet con-
stitutes the dark horse element i n
the major leagues. and the II rival
managers are having Nightmares
these winter evenings worrying owe
just what those five fellows will do.
OF the five, Robinson is the only
one who will make his first bow as
manager in April, 1914. The other
four handled the managerial reins for
whole or part of the 1913 season. But
their work was only Of experimental
nature. nothing upon which to base an
accurate estimate of their strength
when once they get under way, as they
are expected to do next year.

milwaukee,. Jan. 23.-Has Mike

Mike Is a boy who never carries

he met Bob Mc.Allister last week he
scaled l52 IL pounds-just ~.
pounds above the weight at which he
agrees to meet Packey. That is quite
a bunch of meat to take off for a mar
who does not carry much extra
weight, and Mike may discover his
mistake before he gets through, with
the match.
That is what killed Eddie Nc
Goorty's chances when he met Glib
bons in New York a little over a year
ago. Eddie trained down to 155
pounds. so as not to lose his forfeit
for weight, which was 1853 ringside.
The trouble was that the Oshkosh boy
got too low in weight and he did not
have his usual strength. and as a re-
suit put up a poor fight against the
shifty Gibbons.
Mike may find himself in the same
boat, II if he does. look out for
Packey Mcfarland, for the Chicago
lad can size up an opponent about as
quickly as any man In the game. and
if he discovers that Mike is not there
with the strength he is liable to cut
loose and take a chance, something
he might not do otherwise.
