J., Jan. 5.—The erec- tion of an athletic stadium for &he Princeton Athletic association, tenta- tively plans for which have been un- der way for some time, is now prac- tically a certainty, according to a statement issued here today by Dean McClenahan, chairman of the board of athletic control. There are still a number of important details which must be worked out before defi- nite announcements can be made, but that the Tigers will have a stadium within the next couple of years is as- sured. The proposed Structure will cost in the neighborhood of $300,000 and will seat more than 50,000 people. It will be erected on the property adjoining University field and will be of steel and concrete, oval in shape and open at one end, similar in form to the Harvard stadium. It is understood that $100,000 has already been collected from Princeton alumni, and adherents. MEETING TODAY OF NATIONAL COMMISSION No Un\:\uu:l Business Anticipated at i Session.

And Luther Never S8aw Much Else West—For One Thing Ma, Was Too Busy Cleaning Sewers. Luther McCarty came in at the right time TLuther was “discovered” when the alr was heavy with white hope expectations, and the country still labored under the impression that men strong and virile, typical American and truly masculine, must come out of the bucskin and colt belt of the broad west. The popular novelists and the fight promoters prepared s grand stage setting for Luther. With him came a good press agent alive to the occa- sion, with his good right gripping the public pulse with a grip of iron. Luther had one thing, size, and he had strength that goes with it (in some instances). Big and strong, Luth- er looked as if he could be made into a white hope. Nothing more was need- ed, but the press agent. He was there. | Soon after the west and the middle west and teh east heard that a new “hope” had been discovered. Last summer there appeared in the smaller citles and towns and villages of southern’Ohio a street fagir of the old school. He looked like an Indian, was tall, massive and silent. He car- ried an oufit with him, several per- formers, such as a strong woman, a strong man who bent heavy iron pars and broke iron chairs; a snhake charmer, two spotted ponies, drawifg an elaborately decorated wagon, a grayhound who . appeared like a worthy member of a worthy breed, and a little dog of mixed degree. The fakir also carried a tent, This Indian called himself White Fagle, and he posed as a medicine man. Now thers is another incident which hitches in here, although it may not seem to have any connectlon with that which has been written before. You will see the connection in the end. One day there came to one of the cities in southern Ohio a masculine | giant, He had two black eves and he| sought police headquarters, He. asked about the street fakir, the Indlan who} called himself White Taele, and sold White Bagle had gene not his present rattlesnake oil and the police knew whereabouts, The veung giant with the twe black eyes sat dewn to explain, His name was Luther MeCarty, and he was a His father was a street fakir tled himself White Bagle.

Reaction in Specials While Standard Issues Are Strong and Active. New York, Jan. 5—The end of the first three days of the new year which Wwas recorded in the half holiday ses- sion yesterday of the New York stock displayed some irregularity in price movements. Specials which had been strong during the earlier days of@ the week had their period of reaction, while some of the standard issues ex- Dhibited strength and fair activity. There was a continued heaviness in Western Maryland, American Beet Su- gar, Mexican and California Petroleum, which tested the strength of other is- sues responsible for the good under- tone of the market as a whole and the gains made on the dav's trading. The action of Western Maryland was gen- erally accepted as indicating the pass- ing of the dividend this week. If the apparent underlying stremgth may be ted as a basis for the further action of the market, considerable en- couragement may be drawn from yes- terday’s transactions. In the meantime, however, the Min- nesota rate case as a’scarecrow ahead, and until a decision is handed down Dby the supreme court there will be an exercise of caution on the part of traders who favor new commitments on the long side. The report of foreign peace negotiations presented the usual daily change from favorable to unfa- vorable and vice versa, and the action of the London stock market and the continental bourses reflected a tone of discouragement of yesterday’s situa- tion, while on Friday cheerfulness pre- vailed. In the home news the im- proved bank clearings afforded an op- portunity for 2 moderate degres of op- .~ The November report of the Northern railway showed an increase of $1,697,000 in gross and a gain of $751,000 in net earnings. Call money indications, accordine to the views of the New York bankers, ere that moderate rates will' prevall, although there is no prospect of very easy money in the near Tuture. 8TOCKS.

Stanley’s Brother Leon Expects to Be a Pugi Star. Leon Ketchel, the young brother of Stanley Ketchel, arrives in New York on Monday, when he will start his pugilistic career. Ketchel, though only 17 years old, promises to develop into as good a fighter as his brother wos when he died. The youngest member of the Ketchel family to don the box- ing gloves has engaged in five contests of minor importance in Michifan. A few months previous to his death tSanley Ketchel predicted a Success- ful ring career for his brother. He used every effort to dissuade him from becoming a professional pugilist. The following letter, just received from the vounger Ketchel, tells of his hopes in entering the game -that his brother figured so prominently in. “I have just returned from o long hunting trip in the Ozark mountains. I leave for New York by way of New Orleans shortly. I am feeling bully. I am getting blig and strong, and am larger than my brother Stanley was when my age. I am just past 17, ond though I had hopeq to fight as a lightweight at first, Ithink that I am oing to be a little too heavy for the 38 erowd. I feel confident that I will make a eoracking good welter in six months. I weigh now in conditioff 140, I have had a number of fights oround Michigan towns. When I come to New York I want to show the public that there is still a Ketchel in the land. Of course, I won't be se bold as te say that I will be &s great a boxer as my brother, but I just want to show them that 1 n do something on my own account. ey never wanted me to enter the | ring, though he boxed wWith me a great | deal. “I am, and have been, training hard here daily on Col. R. P. Dickerson’'s ranch, the place where poor Stanley lost his life. He has been very good to me, and he has just erected a $2,500 monument over Stanley’s grave at Grand Rapids in the Polish ceme- tery. It was a long time before he would consent to my following in the footsteps of my brother, and he is con- vinced that I will be a credit to_ his memory, and so I'm coming to New York to try my best. I feel just now as if I could go forty rounds like a race horse.” Challenges from Gunboat Smith and Jess Willard were read from the ring previous to the McCarty-Palzer bout at \'emon but the new champion has uoted as saying that Bombar- dler ells of England will get first chance for the title, despite the fact that Paiger eliminatéd the Englishman in a bout here last summer. In View of Willard’s performance against Mc- Carty at Madison Square Garden on August 19 last the big Texas cow- puncher appears to be most entitled to & bout with McCarty. Smith is a more finished fighter than Willard, ang he carries a terrific wallop, but he welghs about twenty-five pounds less than McCarty, and this would prove & big handicap. THE COLLEGE ATHLETE. Not Wholly the Product of the Coach- es Aff One is forced to conclude that the college athlete is not altogether the handiwork of his coaches. Even for him, natural ability is a desirable in- gredient. It may be better to have no abllity except the ability to follow their instructions thon to have everything else and lack that, but as conditions are, there is a multitude of players Who have the requisite physique, and | why may quite possibly be taught the rezt| Why should our college not get | somae of these for its team next year? | Well, our college, if it is up to snuff, | sees no reason why it should fly in the face of Providence in this matter, and it proceeds to do all thot may become an institution of learning in the laud- | able endeavor to “land” its share of these husky young fellows. The ways of achieving this end are as numerous as are those who are bent upon achleving it. One famous coach at a famous eastern university a dozen | Yyears ago was &0 fortunate as to have @ brother who was teaching in a mid- dle western college,e_attended by sin- | ewy farmer boys. Is it any wonder that for a long period the teams of the university were built around stock lods who came out of the west? | A better known Instance Is that of the most famed preparatory school athlete of his day, who as the time drew near for going to college, kept more than one university in more than one state in hot water. In the end, he went | b, the university whose location would naturally have been thought sufficient to decide the point, and gove it four | years of brilliant achievement, which 1t looks back with pri an bccasional sigh, to this day. It is as difficult to draw the tween proper and improper induce- ments to a promising athlete to go to a certain university, as it is to define the difference between speculation and gambling. find A small boy doesn’ it amusing to do the things his parents are willing to let him do. very FOR FLETCHER'S CASTORIA BREAD REGULAR U NAPOLEON R PILLSBURY’S ' Norwich Phone 72 We Are Overstocked On the Following High Grades of | ABOVE PRICES ARE FOR CASH AT OUR MILL l | Children Cry’ I | A Special Men’s Full Dress and Tuxedo Suits In these days of strict social requirements, no man’s ward- robe is complete without a Full Dress Suit, and generally it should include a Tuxedo Suit as well.
