Milwaukee Fighter Shows He Is of Championship Caliber. When Ad Wolgast, the great little Michigan lightweight, some mouths ago announced uU intention of going after both the feather and light weight championships critics throughout the country, unacquainted with the youngster, raked him fore and aft for his AD WOLGAST, WHO IS AFTER BATTLE WITH NELSON. presumption and ambition. It was pointed out that never in ring annals bad a fighter held the title in both classes, and because it was a record unheard of the wise men immediately pronounced Wolgast's declaration foolhardy and nonsensical. Wolgast's decisive victory over Lew Powell, the Pacific coast 133 pound star and the boy regarded as the runner up in the lightweight championship situation, boosted the stock of the hardy little Wolverene to a point where he now is conceded everywhere to be the logical opponent of Battling Nelson in a title match. Wolgast is at the beginning of his career, while Xelson undoubtedly is losing much of his power. He cannot expect to go on fighting forever, and It is natural that the turning point will come soon. In a young opponent of the strength, and skill of Wolgast the Dane may meet his master. Marriages In Portugal. In Portugal "men" frequently marry at fourteen and "women" at twelre years of age.

Attorney A. M. Gardner, who was

elected to the 1909 session of the In diana legislature, as joint representative from Wayne and Fayette counties, announced this morning that he would not be a candidate for re-election. He explains his refusal to make the race for a second term Uecause he has been appointed city attorney by Mayor-elect Dr. W. W. Zimmerman. The question of a successor to Mr. Gardner will now have to be determined upon. There are no candidates in the field as no one desired to oppose Mr. Gardner, as it is customary to give the joint representative two terms in office. Undoubtedly, there will be several candidates in the field, it being expected that some of those figuring on making the race for representative, will now announce their candidacies for joint representative. Wayne county is entitled to the office. It has been the political policy to give the office to a citizen of Fayette county for two terms, and then to give a Wayne county man the office for the succeeding two terms. Mr. Gardner filed the office but one term and accordingly, this county is entitled to it for the 1911 session. CULL 10 GUARDSMEN Governor of Illinois Ready to Send Troops to Belleville.

Happiness is not to be procured like hard bake in a solid lump. It is composed of innumerable small items. The recipes for its acquisition are simple, and therefore we ignore them. Love in marriage, fidelity in friendship, affection between parent and children, courtesy in intercourse, devotion to duty and perfect sincerity in every relation of life those are the ingredients of a happy life. In the quest for happiness one could not do better than put into practice the precepts of the great Persian, -Taking the first step with the good thought, tbe second step with the good word and the third step with the good deed, I entered paradise."

As a matter of fact, I believe him to be equally as powerful as llaekeuschmidt. He lacks the cleverness of 'the Russian Lion, however. My meeting with Zbysco has taught me a lesson I am not likely soon to forget. When I met him I had not trained, as I thought he would be an easy victim. But I must confess that he did give me a bard battle. If I ever meet blm ZBTSCO, THE POLISH WtcBSTtiKR WHO WAiiTS ANOTHEB CHASCK AT GOTCH. again 1 will prove that be is no match for me." The following is what the Tole had to say of the battle: "If I meet Gotch again I will defeat him. I am sure of that. I bad him pretty well tired out, and in a battle to a finish I think I would stand a tine show. I want to meet him again, and I will how the world what I can do to his toe hold." S.noe the bis? Tolish wrestler has met Gotch he bas received any number of! challenges from various mat artists all j over the country. He bas accepted quite a few of these and from now on will be a busy man.

New Hockey League. The Increasing popularity of the game of ice hockey is evidenced by the many projects for organizing leagues that are arising in different sections of the country. Talk is still rife of a league to include Cleveland, Chicago, Pittsburg and New York and one or two cities across the border. However. It seems as though this plan has not taken tangible form that would lead one to expect developments this season. On the other band, the organization of minor amateur leagues throughout the middle west and the evident booming of the sport at the eastern colleges lends color to the thought that the game of the crooked stick and rubber disk wtll In a few years attain really big proportions.
