NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-The final
word, save one, sent by Bill Carrigan
to Owner F'razee of the Boston Red
Sox. saying he could not manage the
worlds champions this year, is not
being taken even half seriously by
local baseball men today. They be-
lieve that Bills final notation will be
his name on the reverse side OF a
check for a substantial sum.
II is a well known fact that a
sourse hitherto well informed in
baseball matters. has spilled the
beans by stating that Carrigan is soon
to announce his intention of return
ing to the Red Sox Also, the fact
that Joseph Lannin was clOseted
for time with Frazee yesterday in
New York, was taken as an indica-
ton OF the close OF negotiations for
Carrigan's return. II has been banded
around that Lannins sale OF the Red
Sox carried the stipulation that Car
rgan was to lead the worlds cham
mons in their 1917 campaign.
As a matter OF fact, no one outside
Boston has been more than mildly
interested in Carrigan's return

IN N: Y.
Recent Developments May
Cause Governor to Ask
Repeal of Boxing Law

New York, Feb. g. Developments Of
the past few days has the boxing
game in New York state, as conduct
ed under present laws, staggering and
hanging onto the ropes.
Governor Whitman, Disguised with
charges brought against Fred A.
Wenck, chairman Of the state boxing
commission, and revelations which
have been made in testimony and
of Stephen T. Mcdonald, is said to
have declared that he will ask the re-
peal Of the boxing law. The decision
Governor Whitman is said to have
reached is the result Of careful inves-
tigation into the elements controlling
the largest part Of boxing in New
York city. He is said to have declar-
ed that undesirables have an inside
track in the operation Of fight clubs.
Promoters to Blame.
II boxing dies in New York state
the promoters will have themselves to
blame. Their greed and the loose
methods of conducting fights have
caused free predictions to be made for
a long time that the golden goose was
slowly choking to death. Boxers Of
ability showing in New York rings
have been prone to stall and dance
through the ten rounds permitted by
law, coming out of their encounters
with only a. newspaper verdict stand
ing against them owing to the no-de-
cision feature of the state law.
The New York law has been cited
in other states to such an extent that
it is almost impossible now to find a
large center where boxing bouts to q
decision will be permitted. Conse-
quently the clean. hard fighters are
hard to find. Boxers do desultory
training and are not capable Of going
through hard session when they be-
gin. Ea g.

COMPLIMENT FOR
DAKOTA SOLDIERS
MARsHALLToWN, IA, NEWsPA-
PER PLEASED WITH APPEAR
ANcE OF FIRST NORTH DAKo-
IA INFANTRY-"5oYs SENT,
MEN CAME" ..-LIAI...
,&ANEEl

The First North Dakota infantry Is
given a splendid compliment in an edi-
toriaI in The Marshalltown, (Ia-) Daily
Times Republican.
The North Dakota regiment stopped
in Marshalltown for a couple Of hours
and the officers were entertained by
the commercial club Of that city in q
delightful manner.
The editorial. written following the
stop. of the troops in the Iowa city, is
as follows:
Ofhcers of a North Dakota regiment
that detrained for q few hours on its
journey from the border to Fort
Smelling, where 1t is to be mustered
out of the federal service were enter
tanned at lunch by the Marshalltown
club very recently. They were men
Of affairs at home, soldiers in emer-
gency. One of them had been lieu
tenant-governor of his state. They
impressed those who met them and
who heard the short addresses they
made as men exceptionally well in
formed and of excellent Judgment, the
kind of men whose opinions are given
very serious consideration in their
home communities.
1t Ia remarkable that while PERISH
ing's men are marching out of Mexico
all these officers conceded in the de-
go back The enlisted men with
whom citizens spoke of conditions on
the border agreed. The conviction OF
the entire regiment seemed to be Of
more serious trouble ahead and the
expression was common I'VE shall
have to go back some day soon.
And this was a remarkable body OF
men and OF officers. The enlisted men
young, strong, bold of appearance and
with something in face and manner
that conveyed the certainty that bold
ness was not assumed but that they
are ready and effective soldiers. The
officers seemed Mt TO command sucn
body of troops They were all some
thing more than the soldier who
serves for pay or for love of adj
venture. These were citizens from the
pIoughs and the workshops and trade
and the professions out in the service
or their country as a patriotic duty;
and they saw conditions and situa-
lions as citizens as well as soldiers
And they agree that I'VE shall have to
60 back"
They agree that the movement of
the guard to the border has been worth
while though failing to accomplish
nations. But IL did accomplish this:
the boys who went laughing to the
border came away full grown men
with q. full realization that patriotic
service as q soldier is not junket,
but a grave duty They discovered
also what mobilization Of green troops
means when but $4,000 are to be re-
viewed. Most OF them brought back
with them the conclusion that COM

TO KILL
ANTI-ALIEN Law
IRY Aasociatad Praaa.A

leaders in the Idaho senate decided
yesterday the anti-alien land owner
ship bill, passed by the house, would
be, killed in order not to embarrass
the United States government during
the present international crisis.
A telegram was read in the senate
from u. s. Senator Borah in which he
asked that no legislation Of this kind
be enacted at this time. No formal
action was taken. but q move to kill
the measure by indefinite postpone
ment was started
Japan objected to the proposed bill,
which is similar to California's anti
alien land ownership law. and the
state department asked the Idaho
delegation In congress to use their
influence to prevent It's passage.

this particular point it was easv to
perceive that the need for their serv-
ice in actual defense or offense must
be plain before those men again leave
their occupations and their businesses
and professions to go af1eld.
The guardsmen of Dakota and Of
Iowa and all the guardsmen of all the
states are entitled to deep respect not
only for their patriotism, but to their
opinions and conclusions aided by and
drawn from theirs personal touch with
conditions as they are. The Dakota
regiment like the Iowa regiments
waited long for its equipment. It was
ready and waiting while the war de-
partment delayed. Taken as a body,
Officers and men, the guard has no
reason to fear comparison with the
volunteers of any period or for matter
of that with army regulars. 1t is easy
