Why Don't McCrory
 Have a Home Guard

We notice that all over our land and country there are or ganizations being perfected that have for the object of their ex- lstence the protection of the home locality, the women and children, surely we think as much of ours as do other vicini- ties and the need here is greater II we will only open our eyes to conditions.
 This Home Guard holds no con- nectlon with the War Depart ment nor State, yet it stands ready and willing to help uphold tne law and be of assistance should their services be needed TOT the protection of home and loved ones.
 In the light of some objections we answer that the business men !he great financiers, whose time IS worth far more than the ma Jorlty, are willingly devoting 'nelr time from the pursuit of sellsh pleasure to measures for ,he protection of all that life holds dearest.
 To say that it is not needed is a' present patent to anyone but

cannot contribute to raising food stuff nor can all of us give money but most of us can give some part of our time in preparation of home security. We notice that home guard was organized by a man 72 years of age, show ing the spirit exemplifed regard less of age.
 Yours for the home,

to say that it will never be need ed is foolhardy and shows that we are not thinking far into the future and should 1t never be needed would be that much more cause for rejoicing, yet prepared ness would cause us all to feel much safer.
 Let us think along this line, and see if it would not be as we'll for us to be up and doing. We know not how long the war will last. We said the Civil war would only be a breakfast spell" but four years is a long time to put in at one time at the table; we said that we would win out in the Spanish-American in such a short time that we would not have time to start, and yet, be- fore it was settled to the extent that we could lay down our arms and turn the business over to other hands, we had found that it had taken us quite a spell, still at that should the war be long or short a Home Guard trained would be a valuable addition to the protection of our locality from lawlessness and an added protection to our homes, to our loved ones and does not add to any horrors nor to any burden, just a little time spent in recre- ation that would be beneficial to the body and mind, and to the tired business man would be re- taxation that he really needs, and for that reason alone 1t would be a paying investment of time, and that is all it would cost. No dues, no expense and no money con- siderations need to be into it, but simply an organization patterned after the army for home protec- tion.
 The editor has been kind enough to give us space in the paper for the discussion if nee essary (which should not bel of this movement, but let us get busy and make plans for home protection and security. All of us cannot go to war, all of us

Tommy Ryan Frequently a
 Victim of Overconfidence

Tommy Ryan, now a Syracuse box
 ing promoter, was a great middle weight in his time, but on several oc-
 casions he was the victim of over- confidence.s That was the case when he took an awful facing from Kid Mccoy at Maspeth, Long Island, early in 1896, and a little later when Tommy fought Australian Billy Me- Carthy in Buffalo his overconfidence almost cost him the victory: It was just 21 years ago today, Dec. 21, 1896, that Ryan and Mccarthy mingled at the Empire A. c. in Buffalo, before a big crowd of fans. Tommy had the best of the first session. but in the second he grew careless and left an opening for the Australian to put through terrible right wallop to the chin. Ryan went down like. a log, and it seemed to be all over, but just as the referee was forming his lips to say the word |ten" Ryan staggered to his feet. He was groggy for the remainder of the round, but his clev- erness pulled him through to the end of the round, and after another round or two he was again on the offensive. By the sixth round he was in good shape once more and in the seventh he put Mccarthy down for the count.

STUYVESANT GIVEN
 SWIMMING HONoRS

New York;, Dec. 21-Stuyvesant High school instead of Dewitt Clin. ton will tonight oppose Erasmus Hall in the Central Y M. e. A. pool in Brooklyn for the dual meets swim. ming championship of the city. This was decided at the College of the City of New York yesterday when Eman- uel Haug of Dewitt Clinton and W. A. White of Townsend Harris, both members of the high schools swin- ming comittee, awarded Stuyvesant the Manhattan title.
 According to the Stuyvesant lads Rudolph Sacks, who won three events for Clinton in the champions ship meet between these schools last Tuesday in the City College pool, was not eligible to compete at that time because of his marks in his studies As a result a swim-off was ordered by the P. s. A. L. This was to have taken place yesterday in the City Col- lege pool, but the Clinton lads failed to put in an appearance. Haug, who represents Clinton, agreed with White that Stuyvesant should be given the. title, although he declared that the. championship meet was postponed affair and at the scheduled time for the meet Saacke was up in his studiess hence thinks Saacke was eligible to compete. Stuyvesant at that tina had the meet postponed. Clinton wilt protest the decision on the grounds metioned by Haug.

BARROW TO TAKE CHARGE OF RED
 SOX IS REPORT

Chicago, Ill. Dec. 21.-Edward G. Barrow, president of the Interna- tional league, will soon take over the active management of the Bos- ton Red Sox. according to reports
 If the deal now on between liar ry Frazee. president of the club, and Mfr. Barrow goes through, the latter will be made vice president and general manager of the club.
 MT. Frazee, in that case, will practically retire from the game, devoting most of his time to his theatrical interests.
 Negotiations between the two have been pending for some time At the American league meeting here in Chicago they practically came to an agreement. The only difference concerned the authority of the new officials. MT. Barrow insisted that he should have full control in the playing end of the game. The salary arrangements were said to be satisfactory

It is understood that Sinclair and the. Wards have never received the pay.s ment that organized baseball agreed to make to them when the outlaw cir-t cult was laid away in camphor severaIi years ago.
 Giving Baltimore a big league franchise seems to be the easiest way out of the difficulty. If the Interna.i tional League suspends for a season. as seems probable, q pig league team of any strength should make money in the Maryland metropolis.
 Of course, neither of the Philadela phia clubs will have much to offeri Baltimore except the franchise The Baltimore owners will, have to go out and dig up team. If they are lucky! enough to get the franchise of the Phillies in the National League they will at least secure a first class mans ager in Pat Moran and q good short- Stop in Dave Bancroft.
 The question of the Baltimore suit and possible settlement through the; transfer of big league franchise will be the most important question up for consideration when the National Com~i mission meets in Cincinnati next month. The reelection of Garry Hermann as chairman of the commis4i 1 sion is a practical certainty.

Philadelphia, Dec. 21-As a result of the recent spectacular sale of Alex, ander and Killifer by the Phillies and Strunk, Schang and Bush by the Ath- letics, it is not improbable that Phila. delphia may have only one big league club next year. There is a possi bility that either the National League or American League franchise of the Quaker City will be transferred, to Baltimore
 Such shift would relieve the tive major leagues of the burden of fight ing the pending Baltimore Fedora! League suit for $900,000 damages. It is believed that the Baltimore base ball men would much rather have a big league franchise than themoney. And as both owners of the Phi1adel- phia clubs are in bad, with the fans 1t is possible that one or. the other of them may be induced to stand for the move to the Oriole City.
 Although organized baseball men may seem to laugh at the Federal League suit the laugh is not on the level. They take the suit seriously enough. Particularly as there are rumors that Harry F. Sinclair, the Wards and other wealthy former Federal League owners may aid the Baltimore stockholders in the fight.

ST. PAUL'S SEVEN
 BEATS NASSAUS

New York, Dec. 21-With every cog of it's machine working as per- fectly as of yore, the St. Paul School hockey team of Concord, N. H., show. ed a big crowd that filled St. Nicholas Rink last night how the popular sport should be played. Opposed by the Nassau Hockey club, composed of Princeton undergraduates, the New Hampshire lads displayed a knowledge of the game that was a revelation to the crowd They outplayed the sturdier collegians and won by a score of to 1.
 After the first minute and a half of play the Tiger was never in the hunt The St. Paul boys were the masters at all stages of the contest and in every department of the game. As in former years, when they earned fame by trouncing Yale. Harvard, Prince ton and other big college sevens, in divfdua1 stars were missing. The seven lads worked in unison.
 Nassaus Start Strong.
 The Nassau men started sof as if they were going to sweep the New England boys off their feet. After playing only one minute and 20 sec onds F. Wintersteen. a Princeton sophomore, got the puck near his own goal and carrying it down along the border, whacked it into the cage for the first tally of the game. The Princeton mem did not keep the lead long, for 30 seconds later Wilson of St. Paul took the disc out of scrim- mage and shot goal, tying the score.

nuSSANE ADDS TO CONQUEST RECORD

New York, Dec. 21-Yusiff Hus- sane, styled on the program as the Balkan Bonecrusher," kept his rec ord clean by winning another fall in the wrestling tournament at the Lex tngton theater last night. The dark skinned strong man proved too much for Charles Poshshill of Bohemia.
 Hussahe, who wrestled in his bare feet, became annoyed when PosfshilI forced him to re1inquish two good holds by tickling the soles of his feet. Finally Hussan partly turned his man with wrist lock and then quickly working in a crotch and half Nelson subdued Posishi1l. The time was 11.42.
 There was real comedy when Sula Hevonpaa, the Finn, and Henry .vogel, the Saxon, did about every. thing that wrestlers are supposed not to do. The crowd, however, enjoyed the farce immensely. Hevonpaa sud denly got his man down with a body hold in 12 minutes and 49 seconds. This was the first bout the burly Sula bad won in many day. pr. B. F. Roller displaying a va- riety of holds and grips, scored pop ular victory over Fred Pilakoff. In the early part. Pilakoff, inclined to take the affair lightly got grip on Rollers big toe. whereupon the doctor complained to Bothner. When cau- toned, Pilakoff replied that he only had half a toe hold.
 | Roller had a hard time getting loose from wrist lock which his op- ponent applied with a steel-like griI and the Finn also had Roller in trou. i ble with a head hold. They had been grappling for half an hour. Roller who had been on the defensive, sud. denly shifted and like flash got 2 scissors and body hold that did the business. He threw Pilakoff in 31 minutes and 14 seconds.
 Ed. (Strangler) Lewis, the favorite to win chief honors, conceded to z request of the management by agree ing to wrestle George Manich of Ser. via with the headlock barred Thi, affair didn't take long, Lewis throw ing his man in trif1e more, than fv, | minutes.
 As it stands now, Lewis and Illus sane are the only entrants in tn, tournament who haven't been thrown

 Neither was considered to have a chance of victory before the contest and as a result both were neglected in the betting. Sir Raymond was guided by that popular little Brook lyn rider, George Walls The appren- tice lad made no mistakes. He got his mount away in good fashion, held him in a commanding position until fur long from home and. then put up a whirlwind finish.
 Obert had the leg up on Mary Warren and like Walls rode a perfect race.

Chicago, Dec. 21-Jess Willard has modified his early statement of sign ing with Fred Fulton or some other worthy man for a championship bout, the proceeds to go to the Red Cross. Jess will defend his title, but he now stipulates it must be in a ten round 20, with no decision. In other words he will battle, but with safeguards to some extent. against the loss of his Championship. Willard wants to make sure that only Il knockout could strip him of the title he won when he defeated Jack Johnson.
 Yesterday was the day set by Mike Collins to declare Fred Fulton heavy weight champion if Jess didn't come to bat, but the champion is on the job.

AMERICAN JOCKEY
 PRAISED IN LONDON


 Skeets Martin who finished second in the list of winning. riders in Eng land during the racing year ust fin ished, is spoken of very highly by Vigilant in the London Sportsman. Vigilant appears to be very keen for the lad who went abroad in the latter sos when the became fearful he would not be able to make the weights allotted, inasmuch as he felt he was picking avoirdupois.
 As a veteran rider and one who had made his mark on this side of the water, Martin is fine example of what good living will do for a man who takes up even the exacting task of riding thoroughbreds.s He seems to have fitted in well with turf doings abroad and has generally been well up in the running as to position among the riders of the tight little isle
