Customary Kettles for Nickels

The old familiar Salvation Army

The football season of 1915 was Of
ficially laid away under the covers

The affair was one of the most
elaborate football feeds Washburn has
given in years and was largely attend

POSTMASTER and master of ceremonies
for the evening and music was fur

WALTER CAMP QUITS YALE.
Father of Football Decides to Give Up
Active Athletic Work

Philadelphia, Dec. 11.-Walter
Camp is through. The man who made
football the game it is today, the real
father of the sport, has decided to give
up his active connection with athletics
at Yale university, where the name of
Camp. football and Yale are synono-
nous.
Camp was in Philadelphia Friday
and told of some of the reasons why
he had decided to give way to other
men at Yale.
Il intend in the future to follow the
game just as closely as ever, to sug-
gest whenever 1 can anything that
strikes me as beneficial to the sport
and to write a great amount of mat
ter; but officially 1 am through.
Football is the breath of life to
me. and 1 am sure that when I have
ceased thinking, talking, studying and
dreaming the game, 1 will have passed
out of the world. But the many
duties L have had in my thirty years
connection with Yale athletics have
taken so much time and bound me so
closely to one spot that have not only
been forced to sacrifice business but I
have also been forced to forego the
chances to broaden out 1 should
like. Therefore I am severing my Of
fetal connections"

TED LEWIS KNOCKS OUT
JIMMY DUFFY FOR $500

Not to be outdone by Charley
White, of Chicago, Ted Lewis has
entered the ranks of the quick K
O. artists. When the EngIishman
flattened Jimmy Duffy in Boston
the other night, he accomplished
a feat. Duffy had never lost a
contest in all his career. Never
had he been knocked off his pins,
yet Lewis walked out in his first
round, raped him on the chin and
Duffy hit the floor eight different
times before the referee mercifully
stepped in and called a halt. To
show the nerve of Lewis. let this
bit be told. Before the fight some
one was teasing Lewis about the
whipping he was to get. Lewis
boldly replied that he would knock
Duffy out. Jimmy Johnston,
Lewis's manager, almost tainted
when he heard that Ted had wager
ed $3.50 against $500 that he would
knock Duffy out. Johnston tried
to get the bet off but couldn't, and
Lewis took down the easiest $500
of his life as a consequence. Lewis
must now be counted in as con-
tender for Welsh's title. The pub
lie demands that he get a chance
for the crown.

GLOOM IN HOTELS
NO HOLIDAY CHEER
Topeka Hotel Men Do Not
Share in Christmas JOY.
Everyone Is on His Way Home
Passes by Old Haunts.

While everyone is happy these days
before Christmas the hotel men or
Topeka have a crouch. Christmas time,
is a bad season for hotel-keepers.
Everyone is on his way home instead
of away from home.
'I wish this month was in the dis
card" said a hotel clerk today, De-
cember is worse than July and August
for us. The statesmen all go in to their
houses because it is too late for winter
deliveries and too early for spring
sales. The merchants are interested
in disposing of the stock they have
on hand and don't want to buy more.
Consequently the hotel becomes a
blank. True there are a few prune
peddlers who come around right up
until a few days before Christmas but
they are so few that they cannot put
any excitement into the situation. It's
awful. 1 tell you. These are the grey
days.
Just about this time of the year
the hotel registers begin to look more
like doctors prescriptions than paving
petitions. AS the holiday season grows
nearer the registers become weaker
and weaker. Everybody is happy and
anxious to get home but the hotel
man. He just frowns and curses his
luck

PITCHER BILL O'HARA
JOINS BRITISH TROOPS

AS far as is known, Bill O'Hara,
formerly a member of the New
York and st. Louis teams of the
National league, is the first mem
Der of the baseball profession to
enlist in the war on the other side.
A dispatch from Toronto says that
O'Hara has been granted a COM
mission in the British royal navy
air service, and would leave at once
for England to complete his course
of training. Only because baseball
is not played very much in the
British empire is the reason that
O'Hara is the only tosser on record
to enlist. There are teams in Can
