Georgia Boy
Proves He
Can Fight

NEWARK, n. j., Jan. 2.-Coming
north with his whole family to prove
himself, young Stribling, Georgia
light heavyweight did it over
whelmrngly here yesterday when he
defeated Dave Rosenberg, former
New York middleweight champion
i'll a l2 round bout.
"We just wanted to show YOU all
that our boy is going to be the
world S champion and that it WASH Z

down here,' his mother, - Ma "
Stribling saId after the bout
Stribling got lot of boos when
he started but the crowd gave him
great reception when he .jumpcI
out of the ring at the end of the
fight and rushed to the corner
where his mother and younger broth
er were waiting for him.
The Georgia boy so completely de
feated Rosenberg that the crowd
was willing to believe that he could
have beaten McTigue just as easf.y
when they fought some time ago in
Georgia.

FIGHTER MISKE
DEAD AFTER 5
YEARS. ILLNESS

E. MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Jan. e
William "Billy' Miske, well known
light heavyweight boxer, dred he:e
New Years day. He was 20 years
old.
He had been suffering from
Bright s disease for more than five
years but kept fighting until he
was forced to bed a few weeks ago.
For the last four days his marvellous
constitution has kept him alive. He
was unconscious most of the time.
Miske's gameness was a most
marked trait. He was one of the
most popular boxers in the north
west. Often he was in pain when
training and once rather than call
off a fight with Tommy Gibbons
he had physicians lance several boils
and pack him in ice to reduce his
temperature so he could pass the
physical examination.
Miske engaged in 1l2 battles, re-
corded 81 knockouts, ten decisions,
63 no decisions, three draws, lost
one decision, was knocked out once
by Jack Dempsey and found many
exhibitions. He lost a goodly fer
tune in the automobile business in
st. Paul.
Miskc is survived by his wife and
three children.

l4-l4 SCORE AT
PASADENA MAKES
THRILLING GAME
McKee's Passing for Navy
Brilliant Feature of
Event

PASADENA, Jan. 1.-Two squads
of doughty gridiron warriors, who
for nearly five long months have
gone to bed at twilight and eaten
only the most wholesome viand5,
were reveling in the delights of
broken training today and thinking,
along with some 10000 spectators,
of yesterdays east-west game, per
haps the greatest in the history of
Pasadena s annual contests.
From all sides came praises for
both the Annapolis middies and the
University of Washington huskies,
who battled nightly for go thrill
ing mrnutes to a 14-14 tie in the
rose bowl here yesterday afternoon.
"The most spectacular game in
the history of the Rose Tourna-
ment, - "Finest exhibition of mod
ern football a Pacific coast gath
ering has witnessed,' and similar
laudatory remarks were being heard
everywhere. 80
One of the breaks of the game
enabled the Seattle boys to even
the score in the last period, and a
break which was against them kept
the huskIes from winning a few min
utes later.
Facing an almost certain navy vie
tory, with the score IA to T., the
Washington team found its rugged
determination availing it nothing.
Chance for n score appeared very
Slight, until a bad pass to Barchet,
navy baclefield man, left the ball
on navy's 10-yard line, with Petrie,
husky tackle, atop of It.
Mckee's passing for the navy was
one of the big features of the game.
Twenty times did the brilliant quar-
terback or one of his team mates
hurl the ball through the air. Four
teen of the passes were successfully
completed. Facing team 10 pounds
heavier to the man, the navy bic
gains were made by passes, with
them the middies gained 1873 yards.
Washington attempted SIX passes
and completed three.
Elmer Tesreau, Washington full
back, is not expected to return north
with his teammates today. Playing
with a bad knee, the big chap was
forced from the game in the fourth h
period. An examination revealed
the other leg broken in three places

Nothing New On
Postmaster Job

Nc,hing new has been heard on
the postmaster situation, Ross T.
HickcoX, chairman of the county
republican committee, stated today.
The name of Postmaster C. w. Col
Inns has been sent to the senate for
confirmation, and no action has as
yet been taken in this respect. In
event the senate confirms Collins,
he will continue as postmaster.
If it should refuse to nominate
him, the only other candidate is
John S. Carmichael, at present man
ager Of the local Western Union of
fice,. who has been endorsed by the
county Republican committee. This
latter body has protested the con-
firmation of Collins to Senators
Johnson and Shortridge, on. the
grounds that Collins is Il Democrat,
and the belief that the position
should be filled with a Republican.
1t is expected that the senate will
take action on the confirmation in
the near future.

IS CARS FROM
MANY PLACES IN
CAMP CROU NDS
Local Auto Park Proving
Highly Popular With
Tourists

Ell Centre s automobile camping
ground continues to be popular with
tourists, and at 9 O'Clock this morn
Ing, there were So cars camped in
the park. Several ears had left
before Press representative Wis
tied the camp, and one camper es-
timated that there were at least 10
in the group that left.
California led in the number of
cars using the camp ground, there
being 33 from this state. Other
states, and the ears from each were
. Arizona, 3; Oregon, ); British Co
lumbia, /; Texas, /; Colorado, IL
linois, /; Wisconsin, !; Washing
ton, 2; Georgia, l. Oklahoma, /
Michigan, 2; South Dakota, 2; Ida
no, !; Ohio, l.
Many of the tourists carried large
and comfortable tents with them,
and when asked if they had suffer
ed from the cold any during the
night, replied in the negative. The
middle west tourists contended that
last night was not cold in their opin-
ion and they considered the wealth
er here warm compared to what they
would experience at home.
One camper, who was shaving out
side his tent, remarked that it was
no more inconvenient or disagree
able shaving outside in this coun-
try, than it is shaving inside in 9th
er parts.
AL spoke highly of the conveniences
supplied them at the park, and stat
ed that FL Centre S camping accom-
odations are far superior to many
others both in this state and on the
roads from the East. Asked if the
fee of % cents a day which was re-
Gently installed at the local park,
was undesirable, they replied in the
negative. In other cities much
higher rate is charged. The opinion
seemed to be unanimous that the
charge is desirable, as it tends to
keep out undesirables, and as one
camper put it, "Who would not be
willing to pay two bits for plenty of
warm water, electric lights and toilet
facilTties?'

ASKS RICHARD
10 Get BUSY ON
THREE CONTESTS
Gibbons, FirpO, Wills
Seen Likeliest
COntenderS

NEW YORK, Jan. 2.-Jack Demp-
sey wants to defend his heavyweight
title three times this year. He has
asked Tex Rickard to get work for
him on Memorial Day, Independence
Day and Labor Day.
Dempsey left yesterday by boat
for Jacksonville, Fla, with Teddy
Hayes, his travelling companion and
secretary.
The champion said before leaving
that he was going to do little
work but the impression prevails
here that he is going to pick spot
down south for a training camp to
be used in getting ready for a Mem
orial Day fight.
Before leaving Dempsey and Rick
ard had long talk about their 1924
program and they discussed the con
tenders with whom three contests
might be arranged.
Dempsey wants Tommy Gibbons,
Luis Firpo and Harry Wills, in the
order named, but Rickard does not
agree with the champion about Glib
bons as drawing card.
Rickard said not long ago he was
willing to handle Gibbons only i'll a
light heavyweight competition.
"Gibbons would not be a good
card around New York with Demp-
sey,' Rickard said. Gle is too
light to get house around here. y
Rickard is strong for a return bout
with Firpo. He believes by fall con
ditions will be such that a contest
with Wills can be arranged.
The bad feeling that has existed
between Rickard and Paddy Mu'-
Inns, manager of the negro chal-
lenger, is said to have been removed
recently.
