SCHEDULE 0FLEA6UE6AMES
Product of Manager Doak Roberta of
' Houston to Guide Middle Texas
Leaguers T1 trough 1915.
Doak Roberts, secretary of the
Houston club of the Texas leacue,
finally completed the schedule con-
tracted for the Middle Texss league
and has submitted same to the presi-
dent of the circuit Mr. Roberts spent
considerable time and effort perfect-
ing this proposed schedule, and too
much cannot be said In praise of his
untiring efforts In getting something
tangible for the league. He came to
Temple tl^e early part of this week
and went over the situation with the
president of the Middle Texas circuit
together In conference with the sched-
ule coulmlttee originally appointed by
the league president. The whole mat-
ter was thrashed out and the sched-
ule as It appears In these columns Is
perhaps the best that could be un-
ravelled out of an Intricate situation.
The league is very compact with the
exception of the break in the trip to
Schulenberg and this coupled with the
fact that Schulenberg did not want
more than about thirty games at home
made the situation all the more com-
plex. Mr. Hoberts has made the best
he could out of a complex matter and
It Is hoped that the majority of the
circuit club owners will not bo too crit-
ical In their dissection of same. Of
course, this schedule is merely tenta-
tive and subject to alteration and
change at the next meeting of the
league moguls which will occur some
time within the next few days, how-
ever, any suggestions of change should
be sent the president at Temple so
that the same may be filed and be In
readiness for action when the meeting
Is held. It will be noted the schedule
equitably distributes the Sunday games
so that each town will get the same
quota of games on this day, which of
course, is the big money making day
of the entire week. It will also be
noted that Austin, Bartlett, Temple
and Belton each have 54 games at
home and 49 games on the road, while
Brenham has 50 games abroad and 63
games at home, Schulenberg having
70 games abroad and 33 at home.
It was almost impossible to make
this schedule conform to the entire
wishes of all the club owners, but the
schedule as near as could be made so
does conform -to the wishes of the ma-
jority of the clubs' wants. Some clubs
desired to open at different places
than those shown and some wanted
other clubs to ©pen with them at
home, however, all could not be sat-
isfied and the schedule as herein giv-
en most nearly conforms to the Ideas
as a whole as were expressed by the
clulf presidents. A league meeting will
be called In Temple within the next
few days at which time the matter will
be thrashed out nnd all changes agree-
able will be made and the schedule
finally adopted. The schedule shows
103 games to be played, while the reg-
ular number Intended was only 100.

Appcndixless Pitcher.
Manager Burleson reported yester-
day the arrival of Jimmy Angel, his
appendlxless pitching wonder who was
signed at the beginning of the train-
ing season, but who unfortunately was
relegated to the hospital ranks for an
operation for appendicitis. Angel
seemed to have played a trick on the
doctors and refused to lose that val-
uable adjunct to his anatomy and has
come to Temple to cast his lot with
Burleson's younglings and he claims
to be In tip top condition. He comes
with a very creditable reputation as a
ball hurler from the Trolley league,
having won the greater majority of
his games in that circuit last year and
the local club Is indeed fortunate In
the procuring of this man. Secretary
Rogers stated that there were two or
three new faces would appear in the
Temple line-up before the beginning
of the season, but he was reluctant to
give out the names as he wishes to
surprise the fans at the auspicious
time when they may see these players
in action.
Manager Hardy Came.
Manager Ellis Hardy of the Navi-
gators of the Texas league stopped off
in "-Temple yesterday between trains
and called at the local headquarters
for a friendly chat with the magnates.
Hardy intends bringing the Waco club
down to Temple Sunday for a game
with the Governors in the afternoon
and he promises a good game to the
fans, as he stated he had the pennant
winners of the Texas league for the
coming season. The game will start
at 4 o'clock and the usual price of
admission will be charged.

HAVANA, April 2.—Jack Johnson
and Jess Willard trained today be-
tween heavy downpours of rain for
their championship fight on Monday.
The storm and a high wind made the
task unpleasant. The road work In
the early morning was lirrht owing to
the wet and slippery roads. Their ex-
ercises at the afternoon exhibitions
was of a harder nature. The chal-
lenger went through his stunt In a
sawdust covered ring before a large
holiday crowd, each of whom paid
forty cents admission. Willard box-
ed three rounds each with Hemphill,
Savage and Monahan, showing un-
usually good form. His In-fighting
was the best he had shown thus far.
Ho tried using the crouch this after-
noon. He was fast with his left, oc-
casionally using his right and slugged
with Savage and Monahan at times.
After the boxing he wrestled and
threw the medicine ball.
Johnson worked this afternoon be-
fore a moving picture machine, de-
serting the regular ring for a restrict-
ed space on the floor. He boxed eight
rounds with Mills, Scott and Bell. His
final round, which was with Bell, last-
ed eight minutes and the champion
Joked with the spectators as he fin-
ished, showing no sign of exhaustion.
Johnson's masterly boxing skill is still
a marvel to the Havana people.
There Is much uneasiness among
members of the fight syndicate over
Johnson's intention to box Sam Mc-
Vey six rounds on Saturday. Appar-
ently no amount of argument can
change the champion's mind. He says
that those of the public who have bet
on him are entitled to get a final line
on his fine condition. The bout Sat-
urday, he asserts, of course will not
be a fight but a hard fast exhibition.
He declares that as champion he
can and should be able to protect him-
self against all comers at all times
and that If he could not he should re-
tire and give others a chance at the
title. Johnson said he broke his arm
on Jim Johnson and then couldn't be
defeated. There Is no chance of his
being Injured by McVey he believes.
McVey says he wants to return to
France with Johnson where he expects
1{, Johnson ts still champion, he will
turn the title over to him when he an-
nounces his retirement from the ring.
Johnson states that he will retire but
Is not certain that he will give the
champion to McVey as Jim Jeffries
did to Marvin Hart
The champion's continued Improve-
ment with the little public training he
has done has given rls^to secret traln-
Ing which Johnson denies wfth a
laugh.

are not sure whether Johnson is in
such good shape us he claims. They
say that while the champion is fit In
appearance they cannot tell liis aetuul
physical condition since they have not
seen him in a test fight. They assert
that they aro sure he is slower on the
offense and defense than he was when
he fought Jeffries at Reno In 1910.
The battle they believe will go twenty
rounds at least and they express the
opinion that Willard will enter the
ring an even money favorite.
Many backers of Johnson apparent-
ly are not anxious for bets and Wil-
lards' followers are gaining confidence
as a result. Requests of three to one
last week dropped today to eight to
five. Tom Flanagan, Johnson's chief
adviser and former manager, refused
to give these odds. He says he has
much money to bet but only at even
terms and will get these before Mon-
day. The continued rain Is worrying
the promoters, but the fight Is sure
to be held oil the date set, the pugilists
if necessary fighting under a canopy.
This would mean no moving pictures,
entailing a great decrease In the
profits.
It rained hard at times during the
day and natives say that the storm
may contirrue for several days.
The American fight followers are
arriving on every steamer. The Key
West boat which arrived late today
having been delayed by the storm, had
250 fight rans on board. The steam-
ers are making special trips as fast as
they can cover the distance.
Referee Welsh cabled tonight that
he had been unable to get passage
across from Key West and has char-
tered a special steamer which Is due
late tonight. Passengers arriving to-
night from Key West say there Is a

ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING

made-at-home products and trade-at-
home customers.
Judge F. M. Spann declared that he
merely wanted to present one feature
In his talk, and that a commendation
to the Telegram for the splendid
Home Industry campaign, and which
should have the co-operation of every
person in the city and county. "I
have wanted some one to come and
Interview me on this trade-et-home
proposition. I have even sent word
to the Telegram office that I stood
hitched—-ready to talk for publication
In support of the greatest feature that
was ever started, and one that should
receive the very best efforts of every
cltlsen In this city. I am a Home In-
dustry advocate. I believe In staying
at home In every way pbsslble and
here snd now want to lend my en-
dorsement to the good work that Is
being done."
W. A. Brady presided at the meet-
ing, calling the gathering to order and
acting as toastmaster. Following In-
vocation by Rev. B. A. Hodges the
new Ad Club song "Boost Temple,"
composed by H. P. Robertson, Jr., was
sung to the tune of "My Old Ken-
tucky Home."
A wrestling match by two young
men, members of the Temple Y. M. C.
A_, proved an interesting feature of
tho program, refereed by H. I'. Rob-
ertson.
Miss Vesta Cooper rendered a solo,
responding to an encore, the prettiest
and most enjoyable part of the entire
program, concluding her distinctive
place in the evening's entertainment
with a happy speech following the
presentation of a beautiful boquet of
Temple grown flowers from the Ad
club. Hon. N. I". Woodward, on be-
half of the organization, presented
the token of appreciation and ex-1
pressed the unanimous thanks of the I
membership for her presence and the |
song feature. |
Sam I'. Shutt, one of the most ac- j
tive members of the club, declared the i
meeting but the beginning of a new-
era in the life of the Temple Ad club. I
lie complimented those present for
their interest, urged them to keep up
the *ood work and to join hands for
the city, concluding with the assertion
that by co-operation the new organi-
zation will make a place development
of Texas as unusual as it will be
strong.
The man of "Hog-club-fame," a cit-
izen of Temple but a few months, but
a worker and a booster, was intro-
duced. The call was greeted with ap-
plause, with added hand-clapping
when H. C. Poe arose. His talk was
distinctively of that boosting, get-to-
gether and pull-together spirit, of and
for Temple, Bell county and Texas.
Mr. Poe Introduced the Home In-
dustry resolution that was so unani-
mously adopted.
Calls for E. K. Williams, owner and
editor of the Telegram, brought forth
the assertion that "I'm no speaker—I
came to eat, look and listen."
"Tell us about this campaign—this
Home Industry move—give us the
plan," came from various quarters.
"It IS too big, it would take too long
to tell It. All I can say Is keep read-
ing the Telegram."
A committee composed of Dr. Dienst
and R. E. L. Hartmann was appointed
to canvass the new members obtained
by the four hustlers who scrambled
for prises. They reported as follows:
O. O. Kuler, 47 members.
P. L. Downs, Jr., 44 members.
T. C. Walker, 17 members.
Sam P. Shutt, 12 members.
Mr. Kuler was awarded the travel-
ing bag, donated by H. C. Poe; Mr.
Downs was awarded the shaving set,
donated by W. A. Brady, and Percy
Smith was declared the winner of the
prize for selling the largest number of
tickets to the dinner. The prize is to
be a hat or bos of cigars donated
by J. M. Carroll.
As a member of the Chamber of
Commerce committee C. B. McLain
asked that committee of three be ap-
pointed to meet with their represen-
tatives and discuss the suggosted plan
of merging the two organizations. A
brief eklrmish threatened an argu-
ment, hut the "not debatable" plank
checked It, and the motion, offered by
Mr. Hartmann, was carried. H. P.
Robertson, R. D. Morgan and J. M.
Carroll were named by President
Brady as the committee.
A report of the conference and re-
sult Is be made at a called meeting of
the Ad club to be held Friday night,
and at which time officers will also
be elected.
President Brady announced that it
was the last meeting that he would be
the presiding officer, his term having
expired with the "get-together meet-
ing." He extended thanks to the mem-
bers for their co-operation and in
making his position as head of the
organization pleasant. A resolution o\
thanks was extended Mr. Brady unan-
imously. The resolution was offered
by J. 1?. Daniel.
Resolutions of thanks were extend-
ed Secretary Wolfe of the Y. M. C. A.
for the excellent spread, to Hans
Schroeder for the splendid decorations,
to Miss Cooper for her very pleasing
part In the program, to the Telegram
for its efforts in behalf of the club,
and for the Ad Club Smile; to W. V.
Crawford for his presence and his
entertaining talk, and to the ladies
who assisted in the program by wait-
ing on the table.

ing plans to make it, or help mtke
it, bigger and better. Temple will

when the proper time comes.
"We want Waco to come to see us.

Ad Club Side Lights.
The feast prepared for the Ad Club
was one of the best ever, and many
were the expressions of praise for
Secretary Wolfe.
One hundred covers were laid at
the banquet—Indicative of "some^hlnz
doing'' by the Temple Ad Club.
W. V. Crawford declared r ght.'y
that It's the chance to "go some—and
the club is already on Its way.
Three of the programmers were ab-
sent, two out of town and one sick.
The absentees were Hon, Wlnbourne
Pierce, A. J. Jarrell, George Houghton
and Col. R. O. Gresham. They missed
something worth while.
Speaking of newspapers and the
kind—but wasn't the Ad Club Smile
a cracker-Jack? "Nick" Woodward Is
accused of being the editor-in-chief
and he only smiled when arraigned.
Watch the next one—coming soon.
The diversified farming campaign,
launched by Col. P. L. Downs right in
the banquet hall of the Y. M. C. A.,
and which has attracted so much
attention throughout' the state, was
given a splendid boost by Mr. Craw-
ford. He's alive and watches live
things.
P. L. Downs, Jr., said he won the
set by a "close shave." Mr. Hartmann
told him to shave the brush and get
more new members. P. I.,., under
breath, "I warn you."
Nearly every member signed the
card suggesting a line or work. Trade
trips are Included. The Ad Club Is
busy.
Home Industry Is the biggest ques-
tion in the land and the movement
the biggest in Texas—the opinion of
live Ad Club members. It's a Tele-
gram Idea and a Temple plan. Watch
for developments—the Ad Club Smile
said so.
It's never too late to do good may
be an excellent maxim, but Mr Craw-
ford goes a step farther and says
"It's also never too early to do good."
And on that proposition he mentioned
Waco's Cotton Palace last night, and
Invited Temple to begin now to make
ready to attend In full force. Mr.
Crawford Is actively Identified with
"the acute crisis in the dyestuff* In-
dustry at present confronting this
country and urge in the strongest
terms that such steps be taken as shall
relieve the situation."
It was said by several speakers at
the conference that the supply of dye-
stuffs now in tlie United States would
last only about two months.
Accused Man Released.
Fort Worth, Tex., April 2.—E. S.
Carroll, held by county officials here
two weeks pending investigation of a
charge of kidnaping Robert Allen
Striker from his.mother, Mrs. Charles
Richter of Brooklyn, N. Y., from a
hotel at St. Petersburg, Florida, De-
cember 12, 1914, was released today
on a writ of habeas corpus. Carroll
when arrested had in Ills custody a
small boy who denied Carroll's claims
of parentage. An effort will be made
to have the boy declared dependent, it
having been definitely ascertained he
Is not the Striker child.
Ladies, have you seen those Faster

Convicted Mwrderer Sentenced.
El Paso, Tex., April 2 —W. E. Mul-
lln, convicted of murdering Maurice
Rosenberg, formerly of San Francisco,
