JOE SHUCRUE
WANTS TO BOX
WELSH AGAIN

New York, Jan. 29-Pete Fitz-
gerald, manager of Joe Shugrue, has
deposited with Jimmy Johnston a
certified check for $1,000. the money
to go as side bet for a contest be-
tween Shugrue and Welsh to a ref
eree's decision. Fitzgerald stipu-
lated that Welsh could name the
weight to suit himself, so long as it
was within the lightweight limit and
that he would prefer a finish fight be-
tween the two if bout of that kind
could be arranged in Cuba or any
place where q finish fight could be
held.
Since returning from Australia Shu-
grue has won the popular decisions
over Welsh, White. Cross, Robideau
and a few lesser lights in that diyi-
sion. Willie Ritchie is the only con-
tender he has not fought, and just as
soon as the Californian reaches New
York match will be arranged.
Manager Fitzgerald sees the cham
pionship within his grasp, and in
tends to force Welsh into a. decision
contest with Shugrue. He has posted
a substantial forfeit to go as a side
bet to prove. his sincerity, and will
ask Welsh to do the same on his re-
turn from the west
ssShugrue is the one man in the
lightweight class feared by Welsh, .
said Fitzgerald last night after post
ing his check. 1.-THE champion said
he was stale after Joe beat him at
the Garden, but the truth of the mat
ter was Joe fought him off his feet
giving Welsh the surprise of his life"

EXAMS MAKE HARVARD
ATHLETES HUSTLE FOR
COMING THREE WEEKS

Boston, Jan. 28.=AthIete work for
the athletic teams, OF Harvard, with
the exception Of the hockey men. will
let up for the coming 20 days in. or
der to give the athletes q. chance to
wrestIe with the bothersome mid
year examinations. The ITO crew
candidates and the many aspirants
for the track team will have a vaea-
ton from their customary practice
work in order to give their full time
to the textbooks.
AS. soon as the mid-year period is
over, all the Harvard athletes in good
standing will reassemble and the
work of preparing the crew, track,
baseball and lacrosse players for
their spring seasons will go on with
consi derable vigor. The crew men
have been busy for, the last three
weeks on the indoor rowing machines,
getting their muscles into tough shape
and one day the varsity candidates
had short spin on the river when
the weather was particularly invit-
ing.
The varsity hockey team will have
daily practice during the examination
weeks, for there are the most i'm
portant games of the season still on
the schedule, and Harvard still has
hope of winning the intercollegiate
hockey title, if Yale defeats Dart
mouth and Harvard, in turn. defeats
Yale.

WON'T DlSBAND FOR
YEAR SAYS PREXY


New York, Jan. q s.Fores1den Ed.
ward Barrow gave out the following
statement yesterday in regard to a
story, published in one of the evening
papers to the effect that the Inter
national League was on the verge
of throwing up the sponge:
''PIease deny for me that the In
ternational League has any intention
of going out of business now or at
any other time. The international
League is in the field to stay and it
is ridiculous to intimate that men
like, McCaffery and Solman of Toron-
to, Chaplin Of Rochester, Lichtenhein
of Montreal. Stein and Hart of Buff
falo, Lannin OF Providence, and Eh-
bets and McKeever of Newark, all
having thousands of dollars invest
ed, would lay down after one bad
season.
..The transfer of Baltimore to
Richmond has already been COM
p1eted, and if our plans to transfer
the Jersey City club to Syracuse
should fall through we have other
cities in view for the Jersey City fran
chise. will say further that rather
than suspend operations we are pre-
pared to go along with six clubs for
one season; this action, however,
would only be taken as a last resort. .

ors. 1t was ferocious battle, with
bare fists of course, and during the
first two hours Tom was often so
hard pressed that heavy odds were
offered against him. One of Tom s
eyes was\ completely closed early in
the battle, and after that he had to
depend on one lamp. He used it with
good effect in battering Paulson' 5
optics, and at the finish Harry was
completely blinded. Unable to see

was compelled to give in and admit
that the little Wonder was his

PURITY AND STRENGTH
OF HOUSEHOLD REMEDIES.

That many medicines, such as
spirits of peppermint, camphor and
ginger, which are frequently used as
household remedies, fail OF their 'pur-
pose, is accounted for by the great
variation In the strength and purity
of many of these preparations as sold
in the market. According to an arti-,
Gle recently published by the United
States Public Health Service, there is
considerable variation in the strength
of many Of the common remedies
used in the household.
It is also asserted that the loss of
human energy through sickness and
deaths from preventable diseases
constitutes by far the greatest waste
of our present day resources and that
this waste is due either to neglect or
ignorance so far as the use of pro-
phy1actic or curative measures may
be concerned.
A table presenting a compilation
from the reports of state chemists
shows that of S,472 samples of ten Of
fetal articles that are widely used as
household remedies, examined in
1913, 1889, or 50 per cent, were
rejected as being adulterated or not
! in compliance with the official re-
quirements.
A second table shows that Of 5,347
samples of the same articles examtn-
ed during ds12.g1,861 or per cent.
were rejected.
The preparations included in these
tables are more frequently used as
household remedies than on the pre-
scriptions of physicians, but are
neverth e1ess recognized medicines the
| abuse or misuse of which may lead
to serious consequences.
The author concludes that a more
energetic and active control OF ali
| drugs and preparations is needed. tn G
desirable and only efficient method OF
control involves honesty, knowledge,
vigilance and care on the part of the
person selling the product.
Members of boards of health and
other state and Federal officials en-
! trusted with the enforcement of laws
! designed to control the purity and
strength of medicinal products should
call attention to the desirability OF
having these laws enforced in a way
| to secure for the purchaser drugs OF
/ uniform strength and purity with q
view of minimizing as much as pos
siblea the unfoward or secondary eff
fects of potent medicines irrespective
of whether they are used as house.
/ hold remedies or under the direct su
pervision of a competent physician.

YALE Z lie CAPTAIN
MAY NOT GET

New York, Jan 2s-About the
Yale club in this city there is a.
we1l-def1ned report that Tor the sec
ond time in its history the Yale
Varsity crew will be without the ser
its shell in the annual Harvard
race. Clever oarsnaan as he is, Dem
eyre has some sort OF technical
defect in his Workmanship which
causes him to clip his stroke and so
upset the balance Of the boat.
Coach Nickalls has tried every way
he can think of to make him correct
this fault But it hangs and Capt.
Denegre, rather than risk the weak
ening of his crew, has decided to stay
out of the shell unless he can show
without a question in the races that
are to be rowed on the Schuylzil1 and
at Carnegie Lake in the early season
that he has been able to overcome the
technical fault.
Denegre retains all the responsi-
bi1ities and duties of a crew captain.
which at Yale are rather asutocratic.
and no one wishes to deprive him OF
them. He has expressed himself as
determined to. forego the pleasure
and honor of rowing in a posi- bly,
winning crew for his Alma. Mater. ID
better man can be found.
Changes in the Yale calendar brine
the annual social week, with It's
promenades and receptions into Feb

fore. On that account Capt. fDene-
gre will not call his men togethei
