uniforms, swords and gold braid,
and added gorgeous touch to
popular gatherings at the executive
mansion, almost outshinins the
ladies in the splendor Of their at
tire. With the outbreak Of the war,
uniforms, except for service, were
taboo, and no part of the military
dress Of the United States army
could be worn by civilians. Conse-
qucntly, few of the hundred-odd
colonels on Governor Stanley's staff
ever purchased uniforms.
Governor Black during his brief
tenure added fifty-eight to the total
number Of Kentucky colonels, and
Governor Morrow in the month he
has been in Office has created fifty
five aides with the honorary rank.
The first commission he issued was
compliment 20 the mentor and guild
ing genius Of the Republican party
in Kentucky, A. T. Hert, Republican
national committeeman.
Pointing out the fact that the Con-
Istltutlon makes the Governor COM
mander in chief of both the army and
navy Of Kentucky and that the
navy's rights to few officers have
been lamentably ignored, "T1he

Having raised its voice in de
fense Of the Kentucky navy, "The
Courier r-JouTnal' next turned it's at

Kentucky colonels, which as at pres

by MIR. Joseph Alexander, one or the

being chiefly to ascertain public sentl-

civil government was popularity desirable
in preference to the existing naval form
of administration. Mr.. Jas. A. Glen

Mr.. Alexander as secretary, following
which Mr.. Anselm Fabio introduced
the suggestion to request the Governor
by cable to use his influence in having
the ship on which the commission visits

capital, where an enthusiastic reception
has been arranged for, instead OF Fred

FRITZ HANSEN TACKLES
TURNER ON FOLLY STAGE
Conqueror of Silent Olsen Faces
Another Victor Over Mute
Tonight.

Joe Turner, who successfully de-
Tended his middleweight title last
week against Silent Olsen, of Akron,
Ohio, has his work cut out for him
tonight in his bout with Fritz Han
sen, Of Wilmington, N. c., at the Folly
Theater, Ninth street and the Ave
nue.. Hansen has also defeated Olsen
and has been clamoring for a chance
with Turner.
Manager Jack Garrison, OF the Fol-
ly Theater, looked into the Whining
ton mans claims for a contest with
the Washington veteran and decided
they were worth while. SO they have
been hooked up for tonight.
1t is possible that Hansen will be \
few pounds lighter than Turner, seal
ing 1866 pounds to Turner's 16O or so.
However, Hansen believes that his en-
durance Is fully as great as Turner's
and his speed considerably greater.
Tonight's contest will begin imme-
diatcly after the regular performance.

ANNAPOLIS, Jan. s.-Boxing, just
recognized as a competitive sport at
the Naval Academy, has sprung into
immediate popularity. Over ninety

Only about half of this squad was

first captain and manager of the
team.
Only one match will be fought this
year, against the University of Penn

be arranged for next season, and the
Navay Academy will cooperate with
the movement to install boxing as
one of the regular intercollegiate
competitive sports.

meets which will extend from mid
January to Juno.
Georgetown's track mentor expects
to develop several relay teams and
from Indications should succeed in
putting out sprint medley team, a
mile combination, all of which
are expected to be heard from.
During the past two years O'Reflty
has succeeded in developing a num-
Der of first class runners. The sue
cess Of Robert LeGendre, American
pentathlon champion. who dethroned
Bartels, Of Penn, last spring Is we'll
known.
In addition O'Reilly has a number
of likely looking candidates who
should come through this year. In
the sprint medley O'Reilly will have
Tony Doyle, the Worcester schooiboy
marvel of last year, Bob lie Gendre,
Dorsey Griffith. Monroe Sheehan, and
Jimmy Connolly.
For the mile relay Griffith. shee-
han, MCNAMARA, Lc Genore ana ouray
are counted upon to flash through.
Three Of these runners are credited
with doing a quarter under fifty Sec
onds, and 1t remains for O'Reilly to
speed up another runner to the re-
quired time
For the two-mile team O'Reilly will
have Sheehan. Ouray, J. Connolly.
ScuIly, and McDonough. Three OF
these runners have been clocked in
performances better than two min
utes for the half so that still anoth-
er track man capable OF doing two
