Lincoln Institutes fast football
team DEBATED G. r. Smith College in
a decisive victory on Lincoln's grid
iron. This is the second team this
season. These two teams have played
George R. several weeks ago. Lin
coins scientific, fact and brawny team
was the victor in both battles. Below
is a few facts relative to Saturdays
game. G.. r. received the kickoff and
were downed within fifteen yards of
their goal line. They were held for
downs, the ball then came in Lincoln's
possession, a short forward pass was
then made by Smith of L. l. to Jack
went over for a touchdown. Smith
missed a goal kick and the first quar-
ter terminated in a score of 6 to 0
in favor of Lincoln.
Second quarter Lincoln received
kick, raced twenty yards, eight backs
tore through, making substantial gains
while the line was invincible-a quick
forward pass by Smith to Watson;
| Watson sprinted forward and Melted
the second touchdown for Lincoln.
Smith again missed the goal and the
second quarter ended with the score
standing ~ to 0 for Lincoln.
Second half, Lincoln kept the pig
skim on G. RS territory a large part
of the time and drew close enough
to attempt drop kicks but failed. At
the opening of the third quarter Lin
coin carries ball to G. RS five yard
line by successive line plunges and
fake plays where Smith, the clever
half back, went over for a touchdown
1t was easy seen at this juncture that
G.. r. was outclassed and the remain
der of the game became disinteresting
and the game ended in a score of As
to 0. Below is Lincoln's lineup, viz:
Watson (captain), L. E.; Martin, L
T.; Moore, L. G.; Lane, c.; Mansen.

New Years Day.

Chicago, ILL.,. Dec. Much to the
surprise of thousands of colored peo-
pie in this city it was announced to-
day that the Lake Park Avenue Hos
pital Association had purchased the
Lincoln Hospital at 4147 Lake Park
avenue, situated in the most exclu-
sive Kenwood district on the South
Side. This beautiful hospital, over
Lake Michigan, will officially open its
doors to the public on New Years
day.
For a long time a new hospital has
been talked of in this city by both
physicians and laymen, growing out
of the fact the present hospital is not
large enough to meet the demands of
the fast growing colored population.
The new hospital has a hundred bed
capacity, nurses home of twenty-four
very modern and up to date equipment
and will be known as the Lake Park
Hospital and Training School for
Nurses.
Well known Chicago physicians are
back of the movement. DR.. George
W. Prince, specialist in children's dis
eases and a graduate of Northwestern
University Medical School, is presi-
dent of the association, with DR.. S. w.
Smith, treasurer and DIR. l. N. Hollo-

have been saved. She has revived
the churches and has done good

to fit the ham-like fists of Fulton or
Dempsey would weigh mighty close to
eight ounces.
There are any number Of bosKy dells
in Jersey where Fred and Jack could
have their little tete-a-tete. Eight
rounds seems pretty short m which to
obtain a satisfactory ending TO bout
between big men, but both Fulton and
Dempsey have been knockin' 'em dead
in their recent fights in less time than
that, and it might happen again.
1t is a matter Of common report that
several New York promoters are ready
to grab off Dempsey-F Fulton bout and
start the boys fighting at any one of
the places mentioned. but all these
plans, of course. will be knocked
galley-west if Wizards chalIengers de-
eide to go twenty rounds at New
Orleans or some other more distant
city. But think how the Jacks and the

ing 1t after that bout if IT'S to be held

Boxing News and Notes
FRED HAWTHORNE
BY FRED HAWTHORN

There is going to be lot OF high
and lofty bidding among the various
fight prom oters in The vicinity Of New
York within the next few weeks or we
miss our guess, because there's going
to be something worth bidding for. We
don't have to tell you that we refer to
a bout between "Fierce" Frederick Full
ton and Jack Demon Dempsey? OF
course not. so VIC won't.
There does not seem to be any way
in which Fulton can avoid a meeting
with Dempsey before there is any def
mite talk of either man fighting VIII
lard for the heavyweight title. We do
not know that Fred actually has struck
Jacks name off his telephone list, but
such are the reports. 1t won't do, Fee
rocous, it will not do.
Now that we've waited so long for
anything like an opponent qualified to
give Jess rub for the championship
it would be a pity. having TWO such
men, not to pit them against each
other and then let the survivor of such
a bout try and knock the circus freak
from under his title crown.
Right here is where the bidding
comes into this story. There are
number of towns and cities within e
few hours ride of New York where a
limited round bout between Dempsey
and Fulton could be staged. Baltimore,
for instance, where fifteen round bouts
to decision are held. is not SO mac
cessible that goodly number Of Man
haitian devotees would not make the
pilgri mage.
New Haven must not be left out Of
the reckoning, either. when it comes
to selecting a meeting place where
Fred and Jack can mingle. New Haven
is a live town for the boxing game, and
has the facilities for handling a big
bout. Let's go!
II, as seems probable. Governor Edge
signs the new boxing bill in New Jer-
sey, the home of the malicious mos
quito will be able to stage eight-round
bouts with cight-ounce gloves. The
latter clause should not worry the
boxing bugs any, for any glove built
