STATUS OF FEDSIHE SHOULD WORRY
Willie Richie Has Made a Sue
cess of Ring Game.
He Capitalized His Youth and
Saved His Money.

New York, Jan. 3.-"I am merely
capitalizing my youth. Every young
fellow should do the same thing.
Some don't. They live to regret it.
often"
This is Geary Anthony Steffens'
idea of preparedness. The public
knows Geary Anthony Steffens better
as Willie Richie. formerly champion
lightweight boxer. The public sees
him as a courageous fighting man
who seems to like being punched on
the nose.
But, privately, Willie Richie is an
eager young chap not a whit different
from the average student at Columbia
university. The comparison is made
because the former lightweight cham
pion is now a student in the agrtcul-
tural school at Columbia.
True, Willie's face doesn't suggest
classic sculpture. There are adequate
proofs upon WilIe's countenance that
he had dealt in recreations that do
not tend to perpetuate beauty. But he
might tell a stranger that he accumu-
lated these indentations and clefts on
the gridiron. And it would be quite
within the realm of belief.
Il have taken up scientific agricul-
ture because the time is coming when
Willie Richie will not be able to
fight" explained Geary Steffens to-
day, after classes. Il have been more
or less successful as a pugilist. There
are those who will sniff at my taking
pride in such success. And there are
those with whom 1 am hugely I'M
popular because, as a champion, 1 did

JUDGE LAMAR FUNERAL
Late Supreme Court Justice to Be
Buried at Augusta, Ga.

Washington, Jan. 3.-Arrangements
are being made today for the funeral
of Joseph Rucker Lamar, associate
at his home here last night of gradual
heart failure. He was So years old
and had he lived until noon today he
would have completed a service of
five years on the supreme court bench.
Although Justice Lamar had been i'll
several months, the news of his death
came as a great shock to his associates
on the bench. Following custom, the
court after meeting today, is to ad-
journ imme diately in respect to the
memory of the late justice.
The burial will be at Augusta, Ga,
for many years the home of the late
justice. The funeral party, which
probably will include his associates on
the supreme bench, will start for Au-
gusta Tuesday afternoon.

ZEHRUNG IS ON THE JOB.
New President of Western League
Assumes His Duties.


Lincoln, Neb,, Jan. 3.-Frank c.
zehrung, ex-mayor of Lincoln, slid
into his new official position Saturday
that of notwithstanding treasurer
of the Western baseball league. His
induction into office was more than in
formal He gave the easy chair at
his Oliver theater office desk few
turns Saturday pumped his frame
into the seat and announced to him
self and a few callers that he was on
the presiding job.
The absence of an inaugural cere-
mony is easily explained. The ex-
mayor was officially informed by E.
j.. Haulon of Sioux City several weeks
ago that he had been chosen to ad-
minister the business affairs of the
Western league and that his term Of
office was to begin the first day of
the new year, so Prexy Frank auto
matically assumed his new title with
out formality or flubdub.
The first formal function which will
confront the new president of the
Western league involves the turning
over of the books, records, bank ball
hands of Tip O'Neill, the former exec
utive. President Zehrung could not
say definitely when this event would
take place. He related that he re-
Gently received a letter from the ex-
prexy written at Oakland, Cal, in
which the latter predicted a prosper
Gus and successful baseball season in
the Western ciS>uit and conveyed his
compliments to the new boss of the
league.
Mr.. Zehrung responded in a similar
vein, but took the pains to ask the
ex-prexy just when he would be ready
to make the jump to Chicago so that
the league property might be formally
conveyed to the club ownerE and the
new president of the league. No an
swer has come to date.

BROWN LOSES TO w. S. c.
west Again Triumphs Over the East
in Gridiron Test.


Pasadena, Cal, Jan. 3.-Playing in
a. rain that marred the tournament of
roses, the Washington State college
football eleven defeated Brown univer-
sity, IA to 0, here Saturday in a game
that featured the city's annual New
Year festival. Vigorous assaults on
the Brown line and constant bucking
tactics kept the Rhode Island athletes
continually on the defensive.
They held Washington scoreless in
the first half of the game and even
iruperiled the westerners on one or
two occasions, but they finally were
beaten back on the water-soaked field
in the third and fourth quarters, get
ting touchdown and goal in each
quarter. Boone, who replaced Hanley
at right half for Washington at the
opening of the second period, scored
the first touchdown and the plunging
Washington fullback, Dietz, put over
the second one. Despite the wind

A gentleman of leisure dropped into
the office the other day and proceeded
to try to convince US that city boy
makes a better athlete than a country
lad. His argument was that the city
boy leads a more strenuous life, that
he dissipates more and that his con-
StitutiOn is accustomed 20 standing
more wear and tear under pressure.
1t was not necessary to look at the
hands of this gentleman of leisure to
know that he never was a country lad.
He never had to get up at a. m. to
feed the stock and milk six cows; he
never followed pillow from sun to
sun; and he never had to go home
after all these things were done to
milk the six cows again, feed the
same stock, cut a cord of wood, carry
four pals Of water, and fasten up the
hen house before going to bed.
The city boy may dissipate more
than the clod-hopper, but whenever
strain because of this dissipation, he's
off his track.
