YOUNG JOE SHUGRUE WINS OVER WHITE Chicago Boy Given Hardest Fight ! of His Career by New Yorker Special to The Telegraph New York, Dec. 30.—Charlie White, the Chicago boy, lost to Young Shu gruo on» points at Madison Square Garden last night. White was best man in the eighth round, and the first round was a draw. In all other rounds Shugrue was the aggressor. In the tenth White looked like a down and outer. White towards the end of the fight fought with desperation. Outclassed during the early rounds, the Chicago boxer made a rally in the closing minutes of the battle, but Shugrue, with the fight carefully stowed in his favor, sidestepped his wild bull-like rushes and came to no harm. Shugrue Keeps A-jabbing Shugrue kept jabbing his opponent nil the time. White showed the ef fect of the blows. Up to the eighth it looked as if White was a goner. Springing from his corner like a tiger in the eighth, White pounced up on Shugrue. His whirlwind rights shook the New York boxer's frame; ' his left jabs rocked Shugrue's head. He tried to produce a "haymaker," but Shugrue was calm and again side stepped the wild, frantic rushes. This round was undoubtedly White's. Shu grue held the Windy City boy at his distance in the ninth. The last round proved Shugrue a complete master of the situation, although White was the , leader. The fight was Shugrue's. He fought harder, displayed better judg ment and proved cool and collected under the most trying circumstances.

WEDNESDAY EVENING, FOOTBALL RULES IRE SATISFACTORY Minor Changes May Come Later; One Fatality Reported by Committee Special to The Telegraph Chicago, 111., Dec. 30.—Football rule makers In session yesterday de cided that no changes were necessary. A few minor details may be revised, but important alterations are not likely to be made. Walter Camp, of Yale, attended the conference and discounted any idea of material change in the football rules. "The present rules have developed a game which allows full scope for in dividual excellence in the player," he said. "They are well understood by the public, they are thoroughly un derstood by the players and the sporting writers have grasped their every detail. Under those circum stances there seems to me to be no good reason for any material change." The report of the committee on football fatalities, showing that only one of the thirteen deaths accredited to football in the past year was of a trained college player, was accepted, but the recommendation of the com- i mittee that it would be discharged from further consideration was disre garded and instead the executive com mittee was empowered to consider the advisability of extending the work of the fatalities committee to include deaths from all forms of sports, in cluding hunting, canoeing, swimming, baseball and skating, so that a defi nite defense might be made to the charge that football is a brutal sport.

FREELAND GORDON WILLIE GORDON Quite the most remarkable athletic family in the world at the present time is found in Y'onkers, N. Y. —the Gordons. Willie, Louis, and Freeland Gordon have been cutting great capers on the cinderpath of late. A year ago all were novices, but to-day Willie and Louis hold championships won in national competition, and Freeland is conceded to be ready for the honor, and far away the most promising runner of the three. It's not a hard task to find three athletes in one family, but three brother champions at the middle dis tance game at the same time is indeed a rarity. Jimmy Lee, former Boston professional runner, who has coached the Gordon brothers from the time they broke their novices, figures that the three, at their best, would all finish within five yards in a three-quarter mile race. Willie Gordon won the Baxter mile race from Abel Ki viat at the New York Athletic Club games last winter. He has a record of 4.21 for the mile, Louis has run the half mile in 1.57 and Freeland has a record of 4.23 for the mile. Freeland, the most promising of the Gordons, has a style not just unlike that of John Paul Jones, the great Cornell runner. He runs with a long sweeping stride which with the proper development may make hini one of the greatest milers this country has ever turned out. Just like Jones, too, Freelan'd Gordon, despite bis won derful natural ability, is not so keen for running. It has always been something of a task to get Freeland out to run. He's one of those fellows that possess great natural ability in a sport in which their intrest is just a little more than lukewarm.

MOTION PICTURES OF EUROPEAN WAR The Motion Pictures of the European War that are to be exhibited at the Majestic Theater, beginning Monday, for three days, are the most remarkable films that have ever been exhibited in Harrisburg. They show with elo quence the misery of war, as well as making clear the methods by which modern warfare is waged. One looks on while German shells work havoc in the streets of Termond, Alost and the crowded squares of Antwerp. The ad vances and retreats of the Belgians, the crossing of bridges under heavy ar tllierv lire, the digging of trenches in the faco or a German advance, and the removal of dying and wounded soldiers by the Red Cross ambulances are among the vivid pictures of actual war fare. The (light of refugees from the vaMous Belgian villages and from Antwerp are pitiful evidences of the horrible results of the present war.— Advertisement.

When Mr. Gilbert was asked how soon the Chamber of Commerce would start plans, he said: "N&t very soon. We cannot do anything until we know when the improvements will be ready. The completion of the river wall will be held up, I understand, and the city can give me no definite information as to when it will be completed. The river dam cannot be finished until the wail is completed. "I had hoped to take up the plans early in January and have the big celebration in July, *but it looks very much now as if we cannot celebrate until September.

Though an ardent golfer, Professor Taft is not ambitious to become an expert in the vocal branch of the game. "I think golf is one of the greatest games for the promotion of the health of men of over 45 that I know of," he wrote. "It is an admirable form of exercise; it is consistent with social enjoyment; it trains one in self-re-1 straint; it introduces one to nature in | its most attractive form, and it has no bad results, except that in the outset it may tempt to profanity. "This, however, is of short duration with a man of any sense, because be linds that the less lie resorts to pro fanity and impatience the better his score."
