can be arranged. Kllbane has considerable respect for White and will demand that, the Chicago boy make 122 ringside, but White can make this weight, and will do so for the champion. White is matched with Johnny
Dundee for a ten-round go at Syracuse, N. Y., July 23. This boyt is thought to
I be one of the best arranged for some j time, as Dundee has proven to be the
class of the eastern feathers. The Syracuse promoter was at the
Thiry Going East Today to Accept $10,000 From "Tim",.
"fight he congratulated White on his
showing and offered the Dundee go. White is to get a guarantee of $600 for this affair. New York promoters also want White to meet the winner of the featherweight elimination contests being held there, but the guarantee for White Is but $200 and Nate Lewis.
White's manager, is not willing that his j boy shall fight for such a small amount.
Hurst of Garden Club.
Emil Thiry, manager of Packey McFarland, will board a train for New York today to close a match between the sensational south sider and Matt Wells ;Of England . for Madison Square Garden on April 23. Yesterday Tim Hurst, who controls the Garden club, wired Thiry that he would guaranlee Packey $T0.000 for ten rounds. Also that he would give him a privilege of 25 per cent of the gross or 25 per cent of the pictures. Thiry has not decided Just what to accept yet, but said last
a cer-
night he considered the match
tainty. , liurst's offer looks good to me," declared Emil. "That $10,000 is about as much as anybody can ask for ten rounds, and Packey can trim Wells.
The Englishman will give him a hard I fight, but my man carries too many I guns for him. I expect to be back by J
me ena oi mo w ecu wnti me nseu articles in my pocket. Johnny McFarland will handle Packey in his Thursday night fight with Willie Schaefer at Qulncy."

Pennant Hopes Into Chicago.
Primed for the season's battles and
making a "noise" like a pennant troupe
the main squad of the White Sox re
turned to Chicago last night from the
wild , and wooly training trip. Earlier
In the day a bunch of baseball harb
ingers consisting of "Walsh, Sullivan
Iange, Delhi and Tannehlll showed up
at Comiskey's office with a hatful of predictions to the effect that the White
Sox are going to win the pennant, a prophecy that does not harm this time of the year. .
The regulars who trimmed Davenport In the farewell setto caught the rattler Immediately after the game and arrived in the city at 9:30 last night. The majority of the players disembarked at Thirty-first street. Before the party broke up James J. Callahan, come-back manager and optimist, unburdened himself of a few choice predictions, all strictly In line with what Walsh, Sullivan and the rest had let go of earlier.

Minnesota Daily, the official student publication. The Dally presents to the
students a ballot in which it asks for a vote on the question of withdrawing
from the conference. It saya in part:
"After months of dickering, subterfuge,, measures, of circumvention and
eleventh hour vetoes the conference question is the same status as it was last fall. The "time has come for the
students and, faculty of the University
of Minnesota to take a stand one way
or another.
"We believe the conference has
ceased to serve its purpose anl justify
its existence, so far as Minnesota is
concerned. We believe that Minnesota
should sever Its connections with pres ent entangling alliances."

' OUT ON
LAKE
Madison, .Wis.; April 10. After a delay of nearly' a month the Wisconsin crew managed to get out on the lake for the Initial row of the season here today. The men rowed about five miles, and Coach Vail was more than pleased with the showing. The crew boated as follows: Tasker. stroke; Samp, No. 7; Captain Pollock, No. 6; Masmiller, No. 5; Dreutzen, No. 4; SJoblom, No. S; 3elein, No. 2; MacLeod, bow; Fletcher, coxswain. Mackmiller is the man who was put off the crew last year for failure to live up to the training rules. The athletic board took both his crew and football "Ws" away from him, but he won his football letter back last fall. He was given his old position at No. 6. The outlook points to the most powerful Crew In the history of rowing.

There wm a time when the umpires had to protect themselves against the crowd, but this la not th case now, for except In rare case do players or fans show any physical violence toward the men who make the decisions. They do, however, carefully protect their bodies against injury. Augie Meran Is one of th vim pi res especially careful In this regard.

It Is evident that Jack Croak con
tlnues to climb up the rungs of the pugilistic ladder and by defeating some
of the boys In the east, he is gaining
for himself a record that Is hard to
equal.
In the past year he has been averaging two or three fights each month and
not only has he been fighting, but he
has been stowing his opponents away
in great fashion.
Last Thursday night he bested Young
Wilson, a bitter rival for fistic honors in a ten-round go which was the fast-
est that has been seen In Buffalo In many months. Both men scaled under 130 pounds and were in the pink of condition. They were In action continually, each working his hardest to outpoint the other. Each aggressive at all times, carried the fight to the other and every round was characterize! by the brilliant footwork and hard hitting of Croak, which gained him a shade on points. . Croak Is to box Hugo Clement of Albany at the Olympic A. C. at Rochester this week. Clemont is some tough lad from all reports, as he has boxed all
the tough ones from New York and has yet to lose a bout. Croak is In the best of shape. and ought to show the downstater that-he is outclassed.
