JIMMY SHELDON ; ; - QUITS HO OSIERS j Blooming-ton, Ind., Nov. 12. "Jlm,.my" Sheldon, for eight years coach of ; the Indiana university football squad, ! surprised the student body last night in the announcement that he had ; handed In his resignation to President i William Lowe Bryan and Dr. C. J. Sembower, head of the Indiana ath
letic committee. Sheldon came to Indiana in 1905 and previous to that time was a star end on one of Coach Stogg's elevens at Chicago. Indiana never turned out a winning team until Sheldon took charge, and this fact has endeared him to the entire student body.
Chicagoan Outpointed by Minnesota Boy. Superior. Wis., Nov. 12. Johnny Tillman of Minneapolis last night outpointed Jimmy Murphy of Chicago In eight out of ten rounds and finished with a margin over the aggressive Chicago boxer. Murphy forced the milling, but lacked the class of his opponent.' The bout was fast and full of hard hitting. Jack Whitaker of Superior and Kid Coffey of Depere drew in the eemi-wlndup, and Young Nelson of Superior knocked out Art Godfrey of Minneapolis In the preliminary.
JERRY DALTON TO FIGHT SMITH Louisville, Ky., Nov. 12. Jerry Dalton of Indianapolis, a well - known f eatherweght, who has been doing his

Minneapolis. Minn., Nov. 12. The Minnesota football team will play the crucial game of the season against Chicago on Saturday without the services of its captain, Donald Aldworth. Although the official sources of information have been closed tightly by Coach Williams, it became known yesterday that the Gopher leader has had a recurrent attack of rheumatic fever and is confined to his bed. Aldworth appeared in togs this week and took part in the signal practice, but did not appear in scrimmage. The coach had hoped to tide him over for the Chicago contest, but Aldworth probably will be out for the rest of ths
season. Fournier, who was put out of
the Wisconsin game for rough play,
may play left end. Fournier has not
been in good shape this week and his place at practice last night was taken by Fegan. McAlmon, who was absent from practice Monday night, supposedly on account of illness, was back. He will lead the Gophers for the rest of the year. Practice was of the grueling variety. The men were given a hard scrimmage by the scrubs. It is estimated that 1,000 seats for the game are in the hands of scalpers, and the athletic authorities are uniting with the police in an attempt to enforce the anti-scalping law passed last year. So far there have been no arrests. More than 10,000 persons from outside the Twin Cities will attend the game. The Northwest is aflame over the approaching battle. Manager McBean expects a record crowd of 22,000. A Chicago game has not attracted as much advance interest and aroused as much enthusiasm in a decade. The students are talking a lot, but betting little. They are afraid of the score sheet for the season, which seems to give the Maroons an advantage in the dope.
RENSSELAER
IS COMING SATURDAY (Special to Tki Times.) " . ' Rensselaer, Ind.,' Nov. 12. Coach
Parker Is putting the finishing touches on the high school football team, which 1b to go to Hammond next Saturday to play the strong team of that city. Hammond's strength is measured
by the fact that It placed a tie game
ith Morocco at Morocco, the score be
ing 6 to 6. A comparative Idea of the strength of the teams can be arrived
at by the fact that both Morrocco and
Rensselaer defeated Chicago Heights by overwhelming scodFs.
The absence of Paul Miller from th
practice for the past week has interrupted the back field considerably, but his return has put new steam in the home team and great hojnj of victory is evidenced.
On Thanksgiving Rensselaer will
entertain a Chicago team, the Bowen high school, and another good contest is expected.

PELKY Ai BURNS VISITJN CHICAGO
Former Champion's Pro-
tege to Meet Gunboat Smith.
Tommy Burns .former heavyweight champion, brought his candidate for the championship, Arthur Pelkey, into town yesterday for a few hours. They were on the way from Chatham, Ont.. to Calgary, leaving at 6:30 last evening for the second named Canadian city. From there they will go on to San Francisco as soon as they get word from Promoter Jim Coffroth. Burns has matched Pelkey for a twenty-round fight with Gunboat Smith, but Coffroth has yet to pick the date. Burns suspects the mill will take place on New Tear's afternoon, and asserts that the winner will be the undisputed white heavyweight champion. He makes this statement without regard for the feelings of Jess Willard. Carl Morris and Frank Moran. It has been six years and over since
Burns was in Chicago. On that visit
he was here with the moving pictures of his second fight with Philadelphia Jack O'Brien, the battle he won, and on which he based his championship claims. Burns boxed nightly with
George Memslc, then a challenger for
Joe Cans' title, after the pictures had been flashed before the eyes of the fans. - After a Jaunt with the pictures Burns went west and stopped BUI
Squires, the Australian champion, in a
round. Then he sailed for Europe, where he whaled the best, and to Aus
tralia. John Artha Johnson finally cornered him down below at Sydney and took the title away from him in fourteen rounds. Burns has done some
battling since, but is a manager pure
and simple now and claims he has the coming champion in Pelkey, because,
he claims, Arthur has something the
other hopes do not possess, a knockout wallop. Gunboat Smith no doubt will

Burns and Pelkey wandered Into the

W1L.I INVESTIGATE HAMMOND, It is understood that when Dr. Gott

A corporation is formed by the fakers and some young licensed physician whose practice has been poor is secured to prostitute his legal rights in order to advance the scheme of the crooks for whom he is working. In my investigation I found what I am convinced are two cas;s of this sort. At the next meeting of the state board we will probably revoke the state licenses of the two young doctors who are connected with the corporations and whose names have been used In the literature advertising the schemes. The men higher up who are the real crooks will be dealt with by the authorities at Gary." HOW THEY WORK IT. The plan of the crooked concerns Is to establish an office and to place one licensed physician in it. Advertising matter Is then distributed stating that? the office is that of a number of specialists. The Ignorant poor people are the prey of these concerns, the physician informing all visitors to the office i that they are afflicted with some dia-
