THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM, SUNDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1908. PAGE THREE SPARRING PROBABLE
Thought Matches Will Be Permitted When New Governor Takes Place.
LOCAL FANS ARE HAPPY.
Will sparring matches be held In this city after the firstof next year? That is the question local sports are asking each other. It is the general opinion that the sport will be permitted, for the hunch has been circulating around the community that after the first of' the year the lid is to be .tilted. Incidentally, it can b stated that this gladsoni action will be assuredly perpetrated if the dreams of the sporting fraternity come true. Already in a few Indiana cities the Hanly lid, whch the so-called "liberals' rose against in successful revolt on a memorable date the fore part of last onth, has been relegated to the discard, and as a result the boxing game is now flourishing, and, be it taid, not to the detriment of the morals of the communities effected. It is openly stated here that when the local police force is Harshallized next month, and Prosecutor Jessup's liand is removed fro mthe helm of the ship of state, the boxing game will not be frowned upon so long as the mills erestrictly confined to boxing exhibitions for a limited number of rounds. By the patronage which has been extended the numerous wrestling bouts held in this city this winter, it is an assured fact that boxing contests, if held here, would be most liberally patronized. Wrestling is a good, manly game, but boxing is more generally favored. ,

GREAT SPORT PROMISED AT DOUBLE HEADER CONTEST -DEM E TRAL UNKNOWN HERE, BUT IS GREAT LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT.
Promoter Charlson was in the city
yesterday for the purpose of making
preliminary arrangements for the big wrestling mill he will pull off Friday evening of this week at the coliseum Charlson states that he has decided to have another double-header bill, and the attraction he will offer this week
will be even better than the two big
matches he pulled off at the coliseum
week before last. Olson versus Demetral and Prindle versus LaSalle, will be Charlson's two big offerings. Olson, Prindle and LaSalle are well known to the local lovers of the sport and need no introduction. Demetral has never appeared here, but his reputation as one of the greatest light heavyweights in the country has preceded him. Prindle, it wilt be remembered, wai one of the principals in the first wrestling bout ever held in this city. He met Busch in that match and was defeated by the German after a hard battle. Prindle's defeat at that time was undoubtedly due to the fact that he was not in the best of training. He has been working hard at the mat game since then, and is now in "the pink." Joe LaSalle went against the Turk recently in this city and gave the big fellow a fight for the money. He and Prindle are very evenly matched and should furnish good sport. The principal feature of the bill, however, will be the match between Olson and Demetral. These men are rivals and top notchers in the wrestling game. They have met twice before, each securing a victory. No love is lost between the two men and the contest is sure to be spicy.

BIG LEAGUERS MEET TUESDAY
NEW PHILLIPS. Vaudeville all week.
Daniel Sully. The attraction at the Gennett Theater Dec 7, will be Mr. Daniel Sully in Ibis latest and best play, "The Matchmaker," in which he plays a role similar to that he created and made famous in "The Parish Priest" He appears as the pastor of a little church In a western cattle town, where the rough and icady people have but little consideration for church affairs and little patience with anything of a religious nature. The good-natured priest, however, compels the respect and wins the admiration of even the roughest characters, and how he does It is told In a charming romantic comedy with a background of delicious comedy and thrilling melodrama. In "The Matchmaker" Sully has the best play he has ever produced and those who have enjoyed his splendid performance in "The Parish Priest" may be prepared for even a greater treat.

By Orville Brunson. There are six fundamental and very necessary institutions In every community home, school, church, business, government and society. And these institutions are maintained to meet the needs of the people of the community. In a city, however there are certain well defined and very important needs which these institutions cannot or do not supply. The Y. M. C. A. is an institution which endeavors to fit into the life of the city as a suppliment to all these other institutions. It does not wish to oppose or to compete with them but rather to supply to the young men and boys whatever these other agencies do not give. In accordance with this principle "meeting the needs" all the many activities of the association have come into existance. They have not been thought up and forced upon the people by some inventive genius for the purpose of making his name great or a few people rich; but, on the other hand, the growing complexity of our modern city life has forced certain problems upon the association and it has tried to -solve them. For instance, there are many things that every boy ought to have, which neither the church, the home, not the school can furnish. The association is naturally and fun
damentally a part of the church. It does for the churches of the city collectively what none of them could do individually. It conducts Bible classes, Mission study classes and meetings for men and boys in a way that churches could not do. The boys and
men themselves have a share in the promotion and the management of these activities. It is work for men by men, and work for boys by boys. The association night school is the answer to the call of ambitious young men for a chance to advance in efficiency in his chosen line of work or to increase in general culture, even while compelled to work during the day. The association will conduct evening classes In any subject for which there is a demand. If eight or ten boys or men wish to study any particular subject, the opportunity will be provided them in the association night school. For many reasons boys in a city are deprived of the requisite amount of exercise which is required to complete their development. Long hours at school and little or no exercise at home before and after school or long hours spent in store, office or factory makes it important that a suitable place for exercise be provided. The gymnasium with all its varied activities is established to meet this condition. The aim of the Y. M. C. A. gymnasium is to offer corrective and recreative exercises and games to as large a number of boys and men as possible. It differs from an ordinary athletic association in this: it does not try to develope a few fine athletes or a star athletic team that can defeat every other team In its class. But it seeks to encourage the masses to develope latent abilities and to Interest every man in the wellfare of his own body. Every boy should know how to swim, not only foi the recreation that attends it but for the sake of his own
safety. Therefore the "City boys' swimming hole'' has a very useful and attractive place in the list of rfisociation privileges. To be able to swim the year round in a large, sanitary pool, with an instructor always near in case of accident or to teach the graceful art this makes the city boys' blessings far ahead of anything that the country boy may boast of from "The Old Swimmin' Hole?" Perhaps the most recent develop
ment in association work, is the dormitories. Twenty years ago the idea of a home for young men in connection with the Y. M. C. A. was unthought of. Even ten years ago there were but few places than advocated such a thing. But not a new building goes up now that does not make ample provision for dormitory rooms. This is one of the most practical ways that the association can serve the young men of the community. Business Side of Work. And now a word about the business side of the Y. M. C. A. work. Perhaps the most difficult problem that
faces any association is that of the financing. Here is an institution with large running expenses whose work is for men and not money. Here is a plant that it takes thousands annually to maintain, whose avowed purpose is to serve the boys of the city with never a thought of declaring a dividend. If we figure on a membership of 800 in Richmond, it will take $15 per member annually to meet the running expenses. To ask every man and boy to pay this amount would mean that many would be prevented from becoming members and thus the very object of the association defeated. The fee must be made small enough so that it will not prevent any boy or man from joining. Accordingly the rates are reduced to $4 to $6 for boys and $10 to $15 for men. Under this policy, the amount collected from
membership fees will be about half enough to meet the expenses. The
remainder of the cost will be secured
from the rent of the dormitory rooms and from the donations of men and
women who are interested in the wel
fare of such a work. Only through the continued efforts and interest of a large number of big-hearted men and
women can an effective and progres slve association work be done.

sion by the member fathering it. As the rules of the senate forbid any business of this character until after the receipt of the president's message, the brain product of the senators will no be revealed to the public until Tuesday afternoon. The first real business in either senate and house will be the presentation and reading of the president's message, Tuesday. Message Is Ready. President Roosevelt has his message ready. He always has his messages ready. It has been intimated that the one to be ready next Tuesday will be a "characteristic" message. He will reiterate the demand for those things which congress hasn't yet got around to giving on the strength of former demands, and will come out for some new features of progressive legislation. The president will not take up the tariff, it is thought, because that task has been relegated to the new congress and the new president. Among the subjects, which, it is believed, Mr. Roosevelt will discuss, are: Amendment of the Sherman antitrust, act. Extension of the powers of the interstate commission in the matter of controlling rates. Liberal appropriation for the continued enforcement of the uniform railroad accounting provisions of the Hepburn act. Passage of the government employes' liability act. Increase of the naval establishment by the construction of two new battleships at least, and probably a renewal of the request for four.
