FENCERS hape greatly lengthened the list of competitions to be decided this season under direction of the Amateur Fencers League of America. The schedule calls for bouts with the foil, .jelling sword and sabre awards. The first tournament of the season opens tonight at the New York Turnvereln, the program calling for fencing with swords.
LONG before sundown it is expected that a line of bicycle enthusiasts, pockets lined with luncheon, and perhaps a few drops of liquid nourishment, will be in waiting at Madison Square garden to see the beginning of the sixday grind. Great things are predicted for the Australian riders who are not only excellent bicyclists, but such good athletes that they can stand no end of punishment. France has a wonder In Perchicot and Italy in Verri, while America has her own matchless Kramer and Walthour. Everything consid
ered, It will be some race. SO THE world tourists are scheduled to show what they can do at Nagasaki is it Japan? today. Well here's good luck to their keen vision and strong arms. It will be some days before communications are received from the Giants and White Sox except by folks who can afford to pay for cablegrams, so the rank and file of us must be patient until details arrive. Of course It's all right for the honeymooners on the trip, but just how the bachelors axe faring would make' Interesting reading. AND still another! Now comes the announcement that the Norwegians are about to grab an American to coach their athletes for the coming games at Berlin. As matters now stand Sweden, Germany, Austria, Norway, and Italy will send their men to the 1916 games coached according to American ideas.

While some of the lines of argument employed may be styled far-fetched. Others certainly possess a gleam of originality. One well-known sporting man has discovered that the Ritchie-Murphy situation at this stage is largely analogous to the Jim Corbett-Bob Fitzsimmons affair at Carson and he evidently thinks that the deductions to be drawn should act as a note of warning to those who are making Ritchie such an overwhelming favorite. He points out that Corbett, a genuine world's champion, he admits, was made favorite on , the strength of an abbreviated record while Bob Fltzsimmons, a man with really a phenomenal record, both as to extent and character of performance, was slighted.

NAMES STAFF FOR -
CUP DEFENDER
Boston, Mass., Dec. 6. The quarter
deck staff of the America's cup de
fender under construction at Bristol,
R. I., was announced today by Robert
W. Emmons II.. manager of the syndi
cate building the boat. Charles Fran
els-Adams II. of Boston will hold the
wheel. Chris Christiansen will be cap
tain and sailing master. The advisory
board includes John Parkinson Jr. of
Boston, George Nichols ot New York,
and George A. Cormack, secretary of
the New York Yacht club and of the
syndicate. Mr. Emmons Is treasurer of
Harvard university.
Walter Camp, a member of, Yale'
advisory athletic committee and one of
the leading football authorities in the country, arlved in Chicago yesterday to look after business affairs. He denied the report that he had come to schedule a football game between Chicago and Yale in 1014, and he also branded as false the stories that he is seeking information regarding the western gridiron reason.
Because of Yale's completed heavy
football schedule for 1914 the eastern critic said it would be out of the question to attempt to list a game between the Maroon and Blue elevens. He also said he doubted if Coach Stagg would be willing to take his squad to New
Haven, as there was not a chance of Yale ever coming west for a football contest.
The easterner said he was glad Stagg
had such success with the Maroons, and he lauded the coaching ability of
the Midway mentor. He also spoke favorably of Norgren's playing. He
refused to commit himself as to wheth
er the Maroon would be placed on his
.Mi-American team.

KEELER ELECTED
BADGER CAPTAIN Madison, Wis., Dec. 6. Raymond
(Tub) Keeler of La Cross was elected
captain today of the University of Wis
consin football team for the 1914 sea
son. Keeler defeated Gelein and Bel

Maroon Football Captain for 1914.
Fred Clarke, chief of the Pirate crew down in Pittsburg, was the big roan in Chicago's Winter baseball league yesterday. Fred arrived during the morning and left in the evening for Pittsburg, and during the day it is needless to say that he was eagerly sought by the army of Winter league scribes. Once located, he declared that he had no news. At the same time a half hour's chat with the Pirate did not fall to give us the wanted inspiration. Did Clarke see Tinker? Why, of course, he did. In fact, we are strong in our belief that Tinker la what brought Clarke to Chicago. But Joe Tinker is still the property of Garry Herrmann's baseball outfit, so It would indeed be bad baseball etiquette to say that Clarke talked with Tinker over
the possibilities of Joseph becoming a Pirate.
But during the afternoon Josephus
Tinker and Frederlka Clarke took quite a long automobile ride together. Tink
er was the driver and Clarke was the
only passenger, Now, we have every reason to believe that the Hon. Garry
Herrmann will never know what Clarke said to Tinker during that auto ride. Neither do we suspect that either
Fred or Joe will put in print Just what they said during the auto trip at
least, not Just yet.
"Did you see Tinker?" was the short
but positive question that we flung at Manager Clarke when we located him
In the lobby of the Brevoort hotel last night. "Yes, and we had a dandy auto
ride,", was the reply. This was, also
spoken in a poslttve manner.
BALLAN ELECTED
TIGER CAPTAIN
Princeton, N. J., Dec. 6. Harold B,
Ballln of New York was today elected
captain of the Princeton football team
for 1914. Ballin Is 19 years old, and was one of the steadiest and at the same the most brilliant player on the Tiger team the past season. He played
right tackle and has been named In
this position on many all-American se
lections. He is a member of the Junior
class.

CONFERENCE PROFS. IN SESSION TODAY New rules and regulations for the "big nine" colleges will be chalked up on the athletic statute book when the faculty delegates of the conference schools gather today at the Auditorium hotel for the annual fall session. The
professors will wrestle with current problems morning, afternoon and evening, and the all-day discussion is ex
pected to result, in the warmest meeting of the last three years.
Whether the conference "profs" will admit Nebraska or Notre Dame or both
is the chief question up for settlement.
with the question of national cham
pionship basket ball games occupying
another important position. The ad
vance predictions indicate that the
delegates will stand pat against ad
mittlng either institution, and a sizzling argument over the basket ball
contests Is In prospect.
Certain of the colleges have already
frowned upon the plan to atage a na
tlonal championship basket ball series
in March between the western and eastern winners, and it is questionable whether a two-thirds affirmative vote
can be Secured. The American title series was boomed by the basket ball coaches and managers last week, and
at that time the representatives of
Wisconsin and Ohio State failed to vote
for the scheme. Chicago is lined up against the extra games, and Purdue
is counted with the objectors.

The readers attention is called to the substantial developement of the Gary Land Company's properties East of Broadway in the First Subdivision this year. During the summer months over a score or more of beautiful apartments and residence buildings have been erected on the East Side. This Company has improved the East side area and next spring it contemplates further work in making the East Side as an attractive residential section as any in the city. There are still a number of East side lots for sale facing this area in close proximity of Broadway. These lots will not last much longer. Next spring it may be impos-, sible to secure one of these lots and prices may advance. If the reader is contemplating the erection of a residence in Gary, why not choose the East Side. Call at this office and obtain a list of vacant properties. Lots S350.00 to $73 MO and! up. (Gsiipy Lfflimtil C0, Fifth Hib- and ffimadunf Gam- imtff-
