Hubbard Will Break Broad Jump
Record

Ann Harbor, Mich. - Dehart
Hubbard, local athlete, who wrested
the broad jump title from Gourdin,
former Harvard athlete and holder
of the worlds record of 20 feet-3-in.,
will undoubtedly shatter the latter S
record this spring when the lad will
be entered in the big meets to be
staged by the officials of the "big
ten"
Hubbard yet in his teens, is I'M
doubtedly the greatest jumper ever
exhibited at the age. The lad hurled
his young figure the remarkable dis
lance of twenty four feet five inches,
to finish ahead of Gourdin and Sol
Butler, at Newark
Nothing is being left undone to
see that this youngster has every
thing necessary in his training for a
chance to shatter the present record.
Comes From Cincinnati.
Hubbard halls from the high
schools Cincinnati, where he estab-
lished several high school records for
the broad jump, before coming to
Michigan to resume his studies and
compete for higher laurels.

Louis Fall was born December 10,
1899 From the age OF he became a
hanger on at the docks, achieving an
early reputation as a battler by lick
ing all the kids of his age within a
radius OF twenty miles.
When he was years old he was
begging for pennies thrown by pas
scngers of French liner. making port
from Senegal, a region almost as dark
as the darkest regions of the Congo.
His story does not record whether the
old man wore a nose-ring, but his air
ness OF attire is a recorded fact.
Escaping from the Moors, he fled to
St. Louis, Senegalese port where he
married and where Louis, later to de-
velop into Battling Sikh, was born a
generation afterward,
One of the other boys grabbed a
penny Louis thought was his, and
Louis swung a straight right and
knocked him out. The feat was OBJ
served by Freda Stampich, a Berlin
dancer who was so captivated by the
boy that she kidnapped him and tool,
him to live with her at her villa at
Marseilles. There she sent him TO
school.
In 1911 the dancer decided to return
to Germany and demanded a passport
for herself, and Louis, but it was re-
fused by the French on the ground
that LOUIS was French subject and
could not be adopted by a German
So the dancer left 5000 francs to pro-
vide for Louis needs until he could
earn his living, and, departing for
Germany passed out of her youthful
protege's life.
From then on the boy gravitated
naturally to fighting. He became a
hanger-on at a Marseilles boxing
academy, and showed such proves
that he was speedily acclaimed cham
pion for his age and weight on the
Riviera.
In 1914 when Louis-now calling
himself Battling Siki-was IS years
old, he enlisted in the French army
and in few months arrived at the

Sikh to Movies; Real Champ.

Paris, Nov 9th. = Bottling Sikh,
conqueror of Georges Carpenter and
recognized heavyweight champion of
Europe and light heavyweight cham
pion of the world, has announced
through his amnager M. Hellers, that
he has signed a contract to play for
the movies. Sikh is indeed popular
in France and Europe as a whole for
that matter and this together with
the fact that he is somewhat of
curiosity to the American public
should make the newly crowned
champion go over big with the silver

Not Coming to America.
We are pleased to learn that Sikh
has changed his mind about coming
to America in search for more crowns
to conquer. We have repeatedly ar
gued that the battling one should re-
main in France as America is indeed
no place for a fellow of his type
who has been enjoying the freedom

probable that he could do mach good
in these parts as a fighter, in the first
place we dare say at least two and
possibly three men in this country
are better than the champ. So after
all it is a great thing that he de-
eided to remain in his own country

There will be no football game be-

Neither will there be a Lincoln

Honolulu, T. H., Jan. 10.-While

Pacific, is generally considered the
strategic key to the entire situation
in those waters, await with some

and particularly of the formation of
the proposed quadruple entente, up
on her military and naval defenses.
For, whatever the outcome of the
Washington conference, the cold,

estimated total population of $780,
600 the Territory of Hawaii has less
than 10000 whites all told, while
Of the remaining 100000 114,OO0
are Japanese.
Four coast-defense fortresses com
mand the great semi-circular bay,
on the shores of which stands
Honolulu and of which Pearl Har-
Dor is an arm.
At Schofield Barracks, located up
on the high plateau over which in
vading troops landed upon the
northern side OF the island of Oahu
would have to pass, are stationed
some $4,000 troops of all arms, a
skeletonized division which could be
put into the field, fully equipped,
almost at moments notice.
AT Pearl Harbor, the greatest
naval base in Pacific waters, are
stationed submarines, mine layers,
destrOyers and seaplanes.
And when the American citizen of
Hawaii looks about him and sees a
superfluity of brown faces-and re-
calls that 4,000-the sight of the
Stars and Stripes floating over the
coast defenses and the sight of the
men in khaki, who are always on
the streets of Honolulu, is nightly

Paris, Jan. 9.-With only $1,000
unemployed over the whole of
France, according to a recent Off
cial count, the French people are
now beginning to see the silver
lining in the terrible cloud of the

While the reconstruction Of these

stimulating effect on general bust
ness conditions, which are much
more favorable in France than

One important factor in keeping
down the unemployment totals is
national CONSUMPTION. The standing

In justice to France, however, il
should be pointed out that a large
standing army has been the rule
for the last forty years, and it is
! thus normal that over half million
men should be removed from eco

at the expense of the nation.
The increase in the governmental
