every way possible consistent with
good public service. BY the first OF
the calandar year the administration
was able to announce that the pros
spective deficit had been reduced to
$1OO, 000, 600 in round numbers. Now
comes the announcement that there
will be nc deficit, but instead there
will be a cash surplus.
Furthermore, as Secretary Mellon
points out, this surplus will be in
existence after charging against the
receipts all possible legitimate ex-
penditures, including expenditures for
the sinking fund and other public debt
requirements 10 the amount of $685.
000, 000.
Another very important factor ex-
lists which was not mentioned by Sec
rotary Mellon. That is the elimina-
ton of the possibility of unreported
deficits coming to the surface the next
session If the Congress, in the form
OF deficiency appropriation bills. For
the first time in the history of the L.
). government, this pernicious and IL
legal practice has been stopped. For
that reason the surplus which Secre-
tary Mellon assures the taxpayers will
exist at The end uf ,.une, will be a real
cash surplus that will not be wiped
out later on by the appearance of
belated bills.

GERMAN BOXERS LOSERS
IN FIRST RING TRIAL s

NEW YORK, Jan. 1S.-Battling
Anton and Urban Grass, two boxers
fresh from Germany, had their
trials in Madison Square Garden
last night, each meeting defeat.
Anton, middleweight, took a
severe beating from Jimmy Canara,
a Brooklyn weller. The German
took a count of five in the first
round, but stuck 1t out to the end
of the scheduled four rounds.
Grass, a featherweight carrying
extra pounds around the stomach
was knocked out in the second

Neither German boxer appeared

DispIease Coast.
Star.

SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 1S.-
Lefty" O'Doul, recently traded by
the New York Americans to the Bos-
ton Red Sox, doesn't take kindly
to the reports that he is to play
the outfield.
O'Doul is southpaw Of no mean
ability. In his last year on the
coast he won something like twenty
five games. When he returned to
the Yankees he was counted on as
a regular.
Shortly after the O'Doul deal was
made, Frank Chance, new manager
Of the Red Sox, announced that he
intended to make an outfielder out
of Lefty" and use him regularly
because OF his speed and hitting.

Boston, feel that 1 can deliver in

tunity. I never got it in New
York. The first thing / am going
to tell Chance when see him is
that l want to pitch for Boston,
not play the outfield.
"If after being given a chance
on the rubber and failing to make
good, will be more than willing
to take a whirl at the outfield."

bons, johnson, or any of the coIl-
tenders. He does fear the outcome
however, and what it would mean
to him to make an Indifferent show
ing against men that do not class
with Dempsey.
He can laugh at johnson and
Brennan. as he did IN the presence
of the writer the day following
their bout, but ludicrous as their
efforts may have appeared to him,
he doubts his own ability to beat
them cOnclusiVely. s5

around offensive ability that Glen
Killinger, of Penn State, could be
outclassed by any other quarter
back who has played the game" is
all Roper has to say.
Ye gods, is there nothing else
for q quarterback than offensive
ability :" Yes; he mentions Phil
King, now q reserved business man
right here in Washington, who
shone for Princeton; Richardson,
of Brown, wonderful runner in
'96, 81, and '98; Charlie De Saulles,
Yale's star. Charlie DAILY, Of Har-
ward, without saying anything Of
his West Point deeds; Stevenson,
of Pennsylvania, and Don Lourie,
of Princeton. But he thinks Kill
linger outclasses them all.
Foster Rockwell, Yale's red
headed quarterback who made the
all-American eleven in 1902 when
it meant something, is not even
mentioned. If we were to choose
we would pick him before Glen Kill
linger, who is Roper's "best for
alI-time in the East"
Charlie DAILY, in his years at Har-
ward and West Point, and they
were many, made a far greater rec
ord than the Penn State jumping
jack. Vince Stevenson, of Pennsyl-
vania, probably was close to Days
equal. Tad Jones, of Yale, was not
far behind.
AS we have said, Roper is a
brave man, doing something so sure
of being opposed. Nevertheless,
we cannot see how he left off Jim
Thorpe and either Charlie DAILY or
Foster Rockwell.

ticism OF the Doubling Thomases,,
IL the failure Of followers Of British
boxing affairs to understand why
Wide should want to take on the
clever young Filipino who holds the
American title.
Wilde IL a wealthy man. He
owns whole blocks of houses in his
ome-Cardiff, Wales-and derives
sweet income from the proceeds
OF g thriving bookmaker's business
at Cardiff.
g b difficult for fans here to
believe that mere financial con-
SldeFatIOns would be strong enough
70 induce Wilde to emerge from
his tWO-yeaR retirement.
There Is also q general belief
that Wilde is ''aII through" as q
fighter and that he knows it. His
bout with Pete Herman two years
ago, in which the American scrap
per gave Wee Jimmy" a terrific
lacing Is regarded as having mark
ed the end OF Wilde's fighting ca
reer.
That fight took so much out of
the little British marvel that it was
generally believed he had lost his
taste for the punishment continued
appearances in the ring would en-
tail.
Despite their doubts, however,
British ring enthusiasts are much
interested in the prospective match.
Wilde always has been a tremend-
GUS favorite in London and through.
out the entire country.
His marvellous boxing skill and
his willingness to take his chances
with many men who 0utweighed
him by all the way from ten to fifty
pounds earned him the respect Of
fightloving Britons.
Speculation a. TO WiIde'S mo-
tiVes for fight : VIIIa-if he does
fight him-ellminates the finan-
cial aspects Of the match and
WINGED himself that ne Is good
enough to give the shifty young
Filipino q hattie. Wilde b very
proud Of his title, and It Is not
believed that he would risk It
lightly.
The British are keenly anxious to
see Villa in action on this side Of
the water. His reputation as a
great little fighting machine has
preceded him to these shores, and
II he comes over he will receive
q tumultuous reception.
II he should capture the title
from the sturdy little Welshman he
will earn the earnest dplaudits of
London fans. even though they will
deeply regret to see their present
idol, Wilde, dethroned.
The present dope is that Wilde
has agreed to fight Villa in Lon.
don some time next May. The state
ment issued by the National Sport
ing Club declares that Wilde has
agreed to terms and that negotia-
tons with Villa are now in prog
Pess.
The date is so far away, how
ever, and the announcement so de.
| nuded of Informative details that
the boxing public here has declined

more than a tentative proposition
which 1t would take keen delight
In seeing transformed into a
