HUGHES WILL SOON BE HOME.

Hughes has Just about completed the swing about the
ce has left nothing conspicuous except trail OF mud
An army have been confused and lost by his ptab
efforts bee the efforts Of another and his lodging OF con-
strucve passed by democratic congress-
His failure state purpose Of his own, to explain what
he would do has left the members OF
his party dazed spirtes and Disguised condition
The independent voter not attracted but on the other hand
repealed by the and revealed weakness OF the can
didate.
Hughes has revealed himself naked of an issue Issue
started his campaign of criticism His acceptance
speech his supporters in the republican party asserted
left all to be hoped for and nothing stated He failed to
strengthen issueess, suberfuge platform Nothing was
held back his speech His recent tour has only emphasized
his weakness his desperate want OF an ISSUE his lack OF con-
srucive purpose ability Above ALL having nothing to of
he made the mistake of trying to tear another to and
to find fault with accomplishment.
The campaign undoubtedly revealed some very valuable
information to Hughes, and supported
he the vicious bosses of his party He discovered that the
American people well fed and well read and that they still
remember the old republican to demands for REFORM
Let well enough aone He also discovered that the people
he addressed have opinions intelligence and IDEALS and above
all that when such Hughes advertised to be such
intellectual giant with such alleged strength of character
and they demand that he to specifications
They also demand intelligent people that he indicate that
he is of such gifted intellectual superiority and force those
whom he harrangues and with whom he pleads pably
for support 1t expected of Hughes that he prove that he is
deserving Of the honor of being elected the position the
superior of his listeners, be their chief capable
executing the great responsibility of guiding the desnes of
nation great as the United States.
Oratorcal flights punctured with vague generaes

pleading for permission perform heretofore violated
by the republican party does appeal and does convince
Such caprap read every parzan publication and
is expected of the man.
Not only the independent voter but the partzan voter is
disappointed with Hughes Hughes going down defeat
and he has started the landslide that will engulf him. His
first appearance will likely be his last Republican campaign

RICK ARD TOO LATE

Kansas City January 19,-Torn Jones, manager of Jessj Willard, heavyweight boxing champion, returning here tonight with Willard from Excelsior Springs, Mo, where he and the fighter had been resting, said that Tex Rickard and Samuel McCracken were out of the running for the 1O-round bout between Willard and Moran.
 "Rickard and McCracken are out Of it; they had their opportunity to get the match and refused to meet our figures, said Jcnes. I've signed with Jack Cur ley and that ends the matter. Morans signature does not make bit of differ ence to us. He is lucky to get a fight with Willard and Willard does not care whether he fights him or not
 Jones said he signed with Curley be- cause Curley ofefred 45 per cent of the gross receipts and 51 per cent of the nov ing picture proceeds. Curley guaranteed $32 300 as Williards share
 "Rickard and McCracken," said Jones, refused to make any percentage ar engagement The guarantee is not the big thing in the fight. I expect Wllard's share under the percentage arrangement to exceed $32, 300.
 Moran can sign the articles with Will iard or he need not. Moran is the man to worry, not the champion.

HAUGHTON MUST
 CHANGE TACTICS
Must Listen to Demands of the Public and the
 Newspapers

Percy Haughton, Harvard football coach, who has become part owner of the Boston Braves and will be president, will need to change some of his ideas also his manners. to get along well as base ball magnate.
 Haughton ruled like a Czar in Harvard football affairs and was up stage in his treatment of outsiders. In baseball he will find there are others who have some thing to say about the conduct of affairs; also that he will be largely dependent upon outsiders. especially newspaper men, for the success of his business.
 Haughton refused to follow the lead of other college officials in placing numbers OF football players, to give spectators chance to know who was who on the field.
 It is said that when the Harvard coach was told the public demanded that play CTS be numbered he remarked he didn't give rap for the public.
 Haughton could get away with that don t-give-a-rap business in college foot ball. but he will have to pay a little at tention to the public if he expects to make a go of it in baseball.
 Newspaper men have found Haughton hard to approach. It is even said of him that many times he even refused to talk with Boston sport writers, saying that If he talked with one he would have to talk with all of them, and surely that would be a bore.
 Men who were in baseball long before Haughton have found that the game wouldn't have a chance in the world to live without the free publicity it gets, and that it is wise to be at least civil in the treatment of newspaper writers.

FIRST CONTEST OF
 NEW CONFERENCE
 STAGED TOMORROW
Central High and Etowah Start Athletics of the High School Con-
 ference

The Alabama Interscholastic Athletic conference will be formally opened to- morrow afternoon when Central High school meets the crack Etowah County High school on the Birmingham Athletic club court Both fives are well matched and the game should be close.
 The opening will be provided with ap- propriate exercises, President Charles A. Brown of the association and Ed Ander- son of the Athletic club having charge Of the ceremonies. The association, which was formed several weeks ago at a meet ing in Birmingham for the betterment of the high school athletics, has never been put into active operation and the engagement tomorrow will do this.
 The game will be one of the best on the locals schedule for the present sea- son. Etowah always has husky bunch of fellows, and will undoubtedly give the local five hard run Central is boasting of one of the best games in a number of years provided the team keeps up the stride they have set thus far, and all though little is known of the Etowah team the rivalry between the two teams should make the game a lively one
 Although Harrell captain and star for ward of the locals, is out of the game with a bad leg, injured in the Birmingham college game, Coach Pritchard expects his trump card to be in good shape for the fray. Montgomery will be used at the opposite forward with Hahn at cen ter. Both Montgomery and Hahn are valuable men, being dangerous at shoot ing and pass work Roberts and Hall, and possibly Dorskey, will be used as guards
 Coach Pritchard has numerous substi- tutes that he may use and provided any member of the varsity slows down in his work one of the ambitious 'scrubs' can be easily rushed in. Central will be pre- pared for Etowah, judging from the spirit and showing of the team to date.
