SPECULATION LONG
PREDICTION SHORT
Much Talk Concerning Prob
able New Champions In
dulged In

New York, Jan. 17.-sporting sooth
sayers are long on speculation for the
coming year but mighty shy ON predic-
tions. The fight situation, essentially
a winter game, has an edge on the other
fields in the matter Of general interest
Much of the future talk concerns the
possibilities of new champions in 1916
Kid Williams, bantam king, and Fred
die Welsh, ruler of the lightweights,
were slated for the outer darkness,
with Johnny Ertle and Charley White
strongly pressing toward the golden
limelight. Jess Willard seemed secure
behind his demand for a million or so
for a finish fight and also to defend
himself in limited bout. Ted Lewis,
conqueror Of Willie Richie, was cruis-
ing along as the leading welterweigbt
but interest in that class has been re-
viyed and Lewis will have plenty of op.
position before his claim to the title is
cleared.
The baseball muddle still is too foggy
for accurate representation. No one
knows where Fed players are going and
there is no gauge on the relative
strength Of the teams as they will line
up next year. Boston, Chicago and De-
trcit have nm edge IN the American
league but in the National the veil still
covers league and club conditions. The
Browns, with Branch Hickey 8 excellent
machine and Fielder Jones Fed stars,
also are reckoned seriously in the Amer.
lean league.
Tho football situation too is nebulous.
even the coaches themselves considering
the time too early tor real plans for
the 1916 campaign Revision of the
rules will mako little difference in the
style of next years playing, however,
and the championships ought to be de-
cided under virtually the same condi.
tions as in 1915.

on several persons who are alleged
to have been carrying on a bootleg

little time. In the course of the raid
about fifteen witnesses were exam

ing the arrest of several defendants
was secured. Arrests are expected to

From what those who made the

Der of drunks became so noticeable
lately, among them being several
minors, that it was decided that ii
was high time for the authorities to
step in and put a stop to the illegal
sale of liquor and prosecute those
who had violated the law.
P%lankinton has been dry for some
months, and the temperance element
is determined to keep it dry in fact
as well as in name. The local drug
stores are held to be blameless i'm the
matter, as the authorities learned
that none of them handle liquor.
