between what is ideally and what is practically
right.
The Christian ideal OF marriages. for ex.

and loyalty. But in practise we have to recog.

human nature as II is. and we l~egislate &C.

the same time so dramatic that in spite of
all its horrors and crimes, it awakens the most

Is there no other way Of arousing this moral

William James, OF Harvard. used TO maintain
that one great thing which modern civilization

Wenck Answers Criticisms
of Body Made by
Dunnigan.

New York. March 10.-In answer
to criticism against the state athletic
commission voiced by State Senator
John Dunnigan, who introduced q res
olution in the senate yesterday de-
manding certain Information regard
ing boxing conditions In this state,
Chairman Frederick G. Wenck Of the
commission today sent q letter to
Dunnigap inviting him to inspect all
the records and data on flle in its Of
fee.
In regard to the coming Willard
Moran bout, which Senator Dunnigan
explained was to be staged in an
arena not used exclusively for box
ing, Mr.. Wenck pointed out that the
exhibition was to be held under the
auspices Of the show corporation
which has bona flde lease on Madi-
son Square garden and which is one
Of the most important boxing organ
izations in the state. A bill introduc-
ed by Senator Dunnigan and which is
now before the judiciary committee
would provide that boxing bouts be
prohibited in buildings or enclosures
not used exclusively for that purpose
In closing his letter Mr.. Wenck
stated he could see no objection to
holding boxing bouts on premises
where other forms Of entertainment
were conducted, provided all the rules
OF the commission were obeyed in
staging the exhibitions.
The Dunnigan bill and resolution
have been tabled in the senate, pend
ing the receipt Of Mr.. Wenck's letter
Of explanation and offer to place the
commissions records at the disposal
Of Senator Dunnigan.

METHODS
ARE OPPOSITE
Moran Needs More Weight
and Willard is Training
Down.


One is training to shed weight: the
other to add poundage. This condi-
ton. marked by startling contras SITS,
exists in the camps of Jess Willard
and Frank Moran, to meet March 25,
in New York.
While Willard is toiling daily to
knock off beef-and he still is 25
pounds overweight-Moran regales
his stomach with full portion orders
OF corned beef and cabbage, When a
fighter absorbs that sort OF sustenance
1t indicates he has supreme confidence
in his "tummy."
This repast followed an all-day ses-
sion outdoors while Moran was train
ing at White Sulphur Springs, n. Y.
Plenty of rough work in the snow and
nary move with boxing gloves con-
stituted Moran's training there.
There was not a. glove in the camp.
Moran simply ate. slept. hiked and
breathed
On the other hand Willard, hem
med in by gym idlers. each assessed
70 cents at the gate. finds the task Of
getting down to lighting trim the
hardest thing he has undertaken since
he fattened Jack johnson a year ago.
Twelve months OF rich living played

Wrestlers Battled to a Draw
I'm Athletic Exhibition Held
AT Moose Lodge Thursday Night

Boyington made a great hit with
the local fans and his return to Grand
Forks will be welcomed at any time.
Bun Deitz Of East Grand Forks
challenged the winner, and following
the declaration Of the draw, he chal-
lenged the both, James first and Boy
ington as soon after as a match could
be arranged.
Listlcss Boxing.
The Cassidy and Blanchard boxing;
bout was shortened to five rounds by
the referee instead of six because the
men were not in condition to go six
rounds. The match lacked speed and
there were only a few blows we'll
started and only about half that land
ed where they were intended to.
Taking the rounds and points made
by each. the first one was even, the
second one was taken by Cassidy by a
shade. Blanchard won the third. and
Cassidy took the fourth and fifth.
Blanchard was given the decision by
Referee Quigley on the strength Of his
aggressiveness.
Good Mix Up.
The bout between Sorenson and
Sullivan was the best boxing bout.
! he ,wo boys started in with whirl-
w.n6 rush and did not let up until
the last gong. The bout was called

Basketball Teams Are to
Clash at Fargo.
FINAL CONTEST
SATURDAY NIGHT
Dickinson, Minot, Michigan
and Valley City Schools
Represented.

Fargo. y. d.. March 1O.-High
school basketball teams representing
the four districts of the state are here
today for the championship tourna-
ment which will open at the agrlcul-
tural college gymnasium this evening.
In the preliminary play tonight Mi
not will be matched with Michigan,
and Dickinson. with Valley City. The
winners will then meet in the finals
Saturday evening.
Wcsterncrs Strong.
II is generally believed that the
chief contest will lie between the Mi
not and Dickinson boys. Michigan
has strong team. but the boys will
be handicapped by the large size of
the floor. having been used to smaller
quarters.
Veteran Bunch.
Dickinson is represented by a tea I'M
of veterans which should prove of
material assistance IN the game to-
night. as the older players are less
likely to be affected by "stage fright. 4"
Minot and Valley City both claim
to be represented by teams equal to
any the two schools have turned out.
The quality of the Michigan aggreea-
ton was shown at the district tourna-
ment recently held in Grand Forks

honors.
