FINED FOR DELIVERING LIQUOR
Negro Up i'm Police COurt-Get mid.
die Men, Says Starrett.

william Miller, a negro, who was
arrested a week ago for storing and
delivering intoxicating liquor, was
found guilty by a jury in police court
yesterday morning and fined $500 and
costs.
Miller was his own lawyer, and
though eloquent was not convincing.
He admitted that he was guilty of dat
dare charge, but it was the fust time
he eber heard OBJ anybody being
pinched TO- doing anything like dat"
And he thought that he was being
made the goat" of the whole affair.
George Starrett, city prosecutor.
told the jury that Miller was the kind
of mantle middle man-that the
authorities should get and punish.
IF we get the middle man. said
Mr.. Starrett, I'VE are just n step
from the bOotlegger. If we wipe out
amount of bootlegging in two, and l
am here to see that We do it. AS
soon as we convince the negroes that
it is just as much a crime to store
and deliver whiskey as it is to sell
it, the sooner we will rid ourselves
of this kind of cases."
Later MIR. Starrett said that the
man higher up" should also be
reached. ~Bootlegging, he said, would
never be stopped until the importa-
ton of intoxicating liquor into a dry
town was prohibited.

|NEW ORLEANS WON'T
| BID FOR BIG FIGHT
Promoters in Southern State Not
Anxious to Stage Welsh
1, White Fight.

New Orleans, Dec. 11.-New Or
leans will not bid for the Welsh
White championship match, having q
championship contender of it's own in
Joe Mandot. The promoters here dc
not look upon the Welsh-White
match as practicable at all for New
Orleans, but would like to see Freddie
and Charlie go on through witty their
engagement Immediately so Mandot
will not have to wait SO long to meet
the winner.
That is the view Of Dominick Torto.
rich, who said that he considered Man,
dot has as much right to fight Welsh
as Waite has and that he would not
think of going to Chicago for an op.
ponent for Welsh when he had one
right here.
This is tle attitude of the other
promoters here, too, and New Or
leans bid for the match is highly i'm.
probable, unless Welsh will fight on
a percentage basis Then Tortorich
might handle the show.
Another split in the Aanks of pro.
moters today may lead TO still more
bidding for contests, however. Torto.
rich announced that he and Tommy
Burns had decided tsat each shall
paddle his own canoe henceforth. 1t
is rumored that differences grew out
Of the handling Of the Williams.
Burns fight.
Burns has made an offer for my
share in his place, and am gladly
selling" said Tortorich. Il am not
in position to announce my plans as
yet, but will have something interest
ing to say pretty soon. I am work
ing on one or two big matches, and
these l will be fully prepared for as
l still have the west side arena in
MGDonoghville, one of the best in the
the ball park or race track"
Burns probably will retain some in
terest in the Willard-Ful fight, but
Tortorich will manage the affair. Both
promoters deny that there has been
any real fuss, but each says he will
be better off without the other. Burns
has looked after nearly all tle
matches since they have been TO-
gether, and Tortorich's friends say
that the ex-clampion's methods didn't
suit Dominick at all. They say it was
Burns who let the MandotARusskll
match slip through his fingers, due
partly to his unpopularity with both
fighters and managers. Managers get
along better with Tortorich, as rule,
and he has the reputation of being
more liberal.
Tommy tries to shave too close. :
Tortorich told one of his friends the
other day.. "You can't promote box
ing matches if you're tbb stingy.'
~ have been trying to put the game
on business basis" Burns said. "The
fighters have been getting it all
around here. The matchtnakers fall
for anything tie managers tell them"

PAYS TRIBUTE TO
ALONzO STAGG

Urbana, ILL.,, Dec. ia tribute to
Coach Stagg Of Chicago by Director
Huff of Illinois was the result of an
article by an undergraduate wlo as.
serted that the Midway mentor was
probably behind the move to abolish
baseball in the Big Nine.
"Mr. Stagg has no more to do with
the abolition Of conference baseball
than I have" declared Mr.. Huff. I'll.
linois students are inclined to blame
MIR. 'Stagg for everything that does
not satisfy us. While his ideas anc
mine on the solution Of the baseball
question do not jibe at all, he does
not want to see baseball abolished
any more than do.

Stagg for about twenty years and !

'In regard to tle baseball situation,

fields to conquer. As result eastern

elevens from the Pacific coast. and the
Rocky mountain regions will match
gridiron strength and skill during the
football season of 1916.
Interest Keen.
So keen is the interest in these in.
tersectional games that the rival uni.
versities can afford to offer unusually
large sums for transportation pur.
poses, thus removing one Of the ser.
ious handicaps to such contests. While
the subject Of these games has just
been taken up at number OF the
more important institutions, the pos.
sibilities in this direction include
matches between Dartmouth and Hill.
nois, Michigan Aggies and Washington
and jefferson, Harvard and some
prominent colleges of the middle west
Nebraska and Cornell, Northwestern
Bismarck daily tribune., 1915-12-12

and Nebraska, Syracuse and some fal
western college, in addition to the
usual meeting between Pennsylvania
and Michigan, Syracuse and Michigan
Army and Notre Dame and similar
fixtures. The 1916 season will also
be featured by number Of intersec
tional interscholastic games between
tile leading preparatory and high
school elevens of the east and middle
west. .
Rules Committee.
At the coming meeting of the base
ball rules committee of the major
league a special ruling will be, re-
quested to cover the following in
stances wilich occurred on a southern
professional diamond last summer. An
umpire, very recently promoted from
the playing ranks, was officiating be-
hind the pitchers box. With run.
ner off second the batter drove high
line drive over the lurler's head and
the umpire thinking that he was still
shortstopping, speared the ball and
threw to second, thus completing a
double play. .
Lawn Tennis.
Tie ranking committee of the Ma
tional Lawn Tennis association, in
its report to the parent body, AGAIN
emphasizes the unsatisfactory re-
sponses to its request for data upon
which to base it's ranking of players.
According to the committee, the re-
, plies received this year were less than
tne number turned in at the end of
the 1914 season. Blanks wre supplied
through every club holding member
ship in the association to all players
who competed in sanctioned tourna-
ments during 1915.
1t is estimated that more than 5000
racquet wielders competed in 142
tournaments sanctioned By the U. =.
a. l.. T. A., yet but eighty.six singles
and forty.two doubles record blanks
were returned to the committee. AS
a result, portion of the ranking
had to be done upon unofficial and
press reports of the play. Since but
a small proportion of the tournament
players evince any desire to supply
the committee with the necessary
data for ranking purposes, other
methods for recording the progress
of tennis competition will be adopted
before the 1916 season Deg:ns.
President Charles III. Ebbets of the
Brooklyn club is authority for the
statement that an effort will be made
at the coming meeting of the National
league to shorten the senior organi-
zation baseball season. 1t is pro-
posed to cut week off each end of
the present season, thus avoiding the
uncertain weather of early spring and
late fall without reducing t.ae playing
schedule below the 15O-game mark.
During the automobile racing sea-
son just. closed ,$2S2, 900 was distribut.
ed among the drivers of high powered
speed machines. OF this amount ten
drivers divided $4,000, While twenty

of $62;S00. The remaining $4,000
was split among more than twice that
number Of drivers.
