DAN EMMETT Deon composed III the very heart of the sunny south in the ordinary fitness of things, but Dan Elm melt was an OhiOan, and "Dixie'' was written and first sung ill New York city, which furnished thousands of the very first troops that went to the front to crush secession.
 Daniel Decatur Emmett, old, poor and broken in health, is still living in little house near Mount Vernon, O. He made great deal of money in his days of popularity, but he spent it as fast as he got it. Now he lives alone in his very modest board shanty and de- votes most of his time to his chickens, his pet cat Chillipaluchia and his Bible. He was born ill Mount Vernon Oct. 29, 1915, and received a very limited edu- cation. From early boyhood, however, he played the fife and violin by ear and displayed marked talent for music. He also possessed very pleasing voice the voice that afterward won him fame and fortune.
 He left school at an early age, be- | came a journeyman printer, and for a | time travelled with a circus as team ster. In 1884, when mere boy of 19, he | enlisted i'll the regular army, and for IA months was fifer in a company of in fantry. He next ran away with circus that showed in Cincinnati and drifted to New York, where he worked on news papers during the winter and in summer l travelled with circuses. One evening Emmett, Francis Marion Brewer, Will liam Whitlock and William Ward Pel- ham gave an entertainment at their boarding house in New York and sang negro songs.
 To heighten the realism Emmett sug- gested that they black up with stove soot. They did so, and their modest minstrel show was so successful that they gave public entertainment as the Virginia Minstrels in Chatham theater. This, the first minstrel show, was ter rife hit, and Emmett's s notable career as black face artist began. While witt Bryant s minstrels he composed numer ous "walk grounds, among them "OlG Dan Tucker.'' One day in the spring of 1859 Jerry Bryant wanted a new "walk around" and Emmett hurriedly composed Dixie" It was first sung il Mechanics hall, New York; it caugh the fancy of the people, and when Sum ter was fired on the soldiers of the Con federacy adopted it as their war song.

colors went down in both races before E. c. Bald. Bald's victories were evidently popular ones, and he was checred loudly as he returned to the tape.
 In the half mile race the finish between Bald and Ray Macdonald, his team mate, was so extremely close that many thought Macdonald the victor.
 The two-third mile open special created the most tumultuous uprOar among the cranks, and eveSy inch of tho ground was pluckily fought over. E c. Bald of Buff falo was just the shadow the best of his field, and Murphy, Porter, Sims, Ziegler, Gardiner, Coulter and Macdonald went down before him.
 There were number of special features sandwiched in between the contests. Sid Black, trick rider, performed incredible feats upon an ordinary safety; two little babies, and years old, rode a third of a mile race, and two quadruplets, the Syra- cuse team and the Berlo team, rode a mile against time. The former, ridden by Cal lahan, MacI4cad, Butler and Haggerty, won the race in :5O 3-5, making a new record for the quad.
 The only Zimmerman also rode a mile against time, and set the crowd wild by making it in the remarkably fast time oi 1:57 4-5.

THE WORLD OF SPORT.

Thus far this season Louisville has paid out $4. 500 to strengthen it's team. which it claims is more than other league clubs have paid.
 Pitcher Breitenstein has won five games from Baltimore this season. Any pitcher who can dd thatIis worth $10,000,. if not more, to clubs like New York, Philadelphia, Pittsburg and Baltimore. i The suggestion having been made that the New Yorks need more scientific base running. the Evening Telegram wants to know "How is man to do scientific base running when he cannot get to frst?'
 The Pittsburg club made an offer for Pitcher Dolan, but the Boston triumvirs would not sell,
 Joe Kelley of the Baltimores thinks it would be good thing if averages were not published during the playing season. He says: "The trouble is that player is apt to think too much of getting a good indi- vidual record when he reads the averages. He sees names of other players who have made good records, and he wants to see his name there too. These individual aver ages are not worth cent as an indication of players value. I don't care 8 conti- mental for hits or errors if we can win the game"
 Barnett of Syracuse has the best curves | of any Eastern league pitcher. Mark Baldwin has been doing some very effective pitching of late. In an interview at Cincinnati. President | Byrne admitted that the league made {
 woeful mistake in letting two such um l pires as Lynch and Hurst go.

COURAGE NEEDED.

Some men achieve great things be-
cause they have the courage to stake
much on final result which they
have set before themselves. Henry
Bodev thinks it more difficult for
Young men to start now, than former
ly. This may be so. | we'll remember
% years ago, the young men OF that
time said it was much more difficult
for them to start than it had been for
their fathers. To such, an old friend
of mine would say: ''You good for
nothing fellows, had YOU been here
when the land was all covered with
forests. would YOU have carved out a
farm: | tell you, it is easier to earn
a cleared farm with buildings on it,
than 1t was for the pioneers to clear
the lard and erect the buildings.
All through the rich valley in which
live are fine farms, owned by men
a number of whom came here as
laborers at so cents day. Some
such men own several good farms,
which cost from $50 to SIS an acre.
How did they secure them: Simply
by resolving to win farm and them
reso'utely setting to work to get It. |

now earning farms for themselves who
began to farm within ten years. They
who have set out to do it will
succeed. have no doubt Of the result

was the quick reply.
He then told me he had supported

four years IN college. He lett college
