BRITISH CHAMP
Will.
MEET La BARBA

LONDON, Dec. 15.--(R-Elky Clark
of Glasgow, British and European fly
weight champion, has sailed for the
United States to fight Fidel La Barba
of Los Angeles for the worlds fly
weight title at Madison Square Garden
January 21. Clark, rated as the best
112-pounder Britain has produced since
Jimmy Wilde, will attempt to bring
back the championship which Wilde
lost at the Polo Grounds, New York,
in 1923 to the late Pancho Villa. The
Briton obtained a temporary release
from contract to fight Alf Barber for
the Lonsdale title belt here In order to
concentrate on the La Barba match.
Illness with tonsilitis twice prevented
Clark from meeting Barbar, and the
bout now has been postponed indef-
initely. Clark has previously won the
Lonsdale emblem fwibe. A victory
over Barber would give him permanent
possession.

WOMAN SETS A
NEW RECORD ON
Elk ALLEYS

Mrs. George s. Cowden, bowling on
the EIks alleys Wednesday evening in
the regularly scheduled game between
the Mohawk team and the AntIers,
rolled up the highest single game score
and the highest three game score ever
bowled by a woman in the history of
the game in this city. The single game
total pinnage was 234 and the three
game total was 573. In order to take
this high game, Mrs. Cowden rolled
three spares game, which is seldom
done even by champion bowlers and a
feat that could be equalled by few
Douglas men.
George Cowden, husband of the
champion woman bowler of the city,
bowled a good game when he hit the
pins for 223 in his second attempt, and
his three game total was SAB. The
Antler quintet was out of luck for the
evening, taking total of 1919 pins
against the 1897 of the Mohawks.
There were no outstanding players for
the defeated team, its high game being
149 and high three-game total but 422.
Mohawks.-Cowden, SAB; Mrs. Cow
den, 573; Briggs, 398; Lange, 4S3. To-
tai, 1897.

PIANO
r RECIT AL WELL.
HE r E

Marmaduke Lander, hailed by
Douglas music critics as a master
pianiste, presented to a good audience
at the Parish house last evening her
piano recital. The program was
greatly enjoyed by the music lovers
of the city and was pronounced of
high rank.
Comment on the remarkably fin
ished technique of the artist was
made by many and the unusual
beauty of her rendition of the Chopin
numbers on her program was espe-
cialIy remarked upon.
Miss Lander was assisted in her
entertaining by her mother, Mrs.
Margaret Lander, who sings with a
rich contralto. Two numbers by Mrs.
Lander We're especially appreciated,
the selections being "Just Smiling"
and Garden Gossips."
Marmaduke Lander is a finished
artist and has studied under some
of the foremost pianists of the musr@
cal world, both in this country ana
abroad, and Douglas is to be con
graduated upon being afforded an
opportunity of hearing both artists.

Jiggs, Maggie and Dinty, those be-
loved characters created by the pen
of George McManus, in clever, fast
moving farce-comedy, provided plenty
of entertainment for fair-sized
crowd of Douglas people at the
Grand theatre Wednesday night. The
plot was slight, depending princi
pally upon ~Dinty's efforts to evade
marriage through a scheme suggested
by Jiggs and frustrated by Maggie,
but it served well as the vehicle for
plenty of amusing situations.
while comedy was the keynote OF
the attraction, it also had plenty Of

CHICAGO Dec. 15.--(R0-The Ameri-

Ban Johnson to the full power and au-
thority which the club owners took
from him two years ago at the behest
of Commissioner K. M. Lands.
Seven of the eight club owners elect
ed Johnson to the major league ad-
visory board, which both the big
leagues are prepared to insist upon
reviving. Two years ago the American
magnates, with the exception of Phil
Ball Of st. Louis, voted strong re-

an equally strong criticism of Johnson

Chicago White Sox restored Johnson to

the commissioner took no notice of the
two major league representatives, who
were supposed to counsel him on league
matters.
The National league representative
has been President Heydler throughout
the commissioners seven-year term.
In adopting the Johnson resolution the
club owners repated their endorsement
of Lands for another seven-years term
but no mention was made of an increase
of salary.

was characterized as the most serious
split in baseball as they departed.
Significance, nevertheless, was at
tached to the fact that Manager John
NIcGraw of the Giants cancelled a
Twentieth Century Limited reservation
to occupy the same Pullman with
Breadon on a Pennsylvania train.
1t is matter of common gossip that
McGraw and his own second base star,
Frank Frisch, have been at logger
heads The Giant leader would jump
at chance to replace Frisch with
Hornsby, not only as move to
strengthen the clubs infield, but also
to provide a counter metropolitan at
traction to Babe Ruth.
The magnates pointed out that prob
ably the Giants or Cubs would be pre-
pared to negotiate for Hornsby, whose
present player contract calls for an
annual salary of $4,000. President
William Veeck of the Chicago team
also was on the same train with
Breadon.

writer, "of a tendency to estab-
lish independent agencies for re-
search, and thus to divorce re.
search from teaching AMI from
the university environment. There
is reason to believe that such a.
tendency, IL carried far, would
be a serious mistake. The uni.
versity is the natural breeding
ground for scientific Interests.
In the long run the teachers will
have to be relied upon to furnish
the scholars, both In their own
persons and in the pupils to
whom theM impart their spirit
and method! To build up a. new
personnel for research would
leave the teaching profession as
overburdened as ever, and would
cut off one Of the principal hopes
of relief. To accentuate the diyi-

search would be equally bad for
the mere teacher and tor the

BILE, that the enforcement of re-

to the disadvantage of both teach

but upon those Tin the high

You know the kind Of husband
1 mean. The Sweet Old-fashioned
Husband, who coddled his wife,
pushed the baby carriage, cut the

Time was when all a woman

Sweet day of the Marrying

In those care-free, beautiful
times, every Western plain ana
township abounded with impress

girl could lasso husband with

back hair with the other-and NOT
miss the sunset either.
Marrying was as easy as rolling
off-a horse; and the girl who
went West" always brought back
a lot of scalps, skins, Indian ar

Once she had her wild bachelor

But, alas, those days are gone,
forever!
The Indians, the buffalo and
the bachelors have retreated to

The only way to get married,

he's too old to care. And after
