and bright hopes Of another day and an
other heavy string soon.
On Manawa, away from the haunts Of
the boats and almost cut off from 1t by
tho land, there is a little corner of the
lake that teens with bass and perch and
here, too, fishers have rpent their spare
hours and brought back with them pretty
bass and perch and now and then a catfish.
The getting of the fish is easy, the men
say who carry the strings back, but it is
getting there that worries. With Cut on
so handy and near it hardly pays to wander
to Manawa for the fish, as the luck is as
good and the sport as fine at Cut OF as
there.
Florence lake has given forth, as tribute
to the angler, great strings Of bass and cat
fish, although the catfish have outnumbered
the bass considerably. For two weeks they
have been drawing these fnny fellows from
the bosom Of the lake and the sport has
not diminished or the number OF the fish
seemingly decreased there.

MIDWEST AND TRACK EVENTS
showing Made on Franklin Field
Gratifying to the Supporters
of Clean Athletics.

The track athletes OF the middle west
made a gratifying showing in the ninth
annual relay meet held on Franklin field,
Philadelphia. a week ago last Saturday. In
the four-mile relay race, which was the
event Of the day, the universities Of Michi-
gan, Wisconsin and Chicago contested with
Harvard, Yale, Pennsylvania and Columbia.
1t was the cream OF the east against the
cream of the west and it was a proud mo-
ment for the west when Kellog Of Michi-
gan, by a superb finish. broke the tape five
good yards In front of Franehot OF Yale
and gave the race to Michigan. To Wis
eonsin fell fourth place and Chicago fifth.
II was the first time that the west had
really proved itself an equal Of the east in
track athletics. The west had sent men
to the east before and taken an occasional
hrst or second, but these men have been
few and far betu cen. The east said, and
had reason for saying it, The west is be-
hind us in track athletics. They have had
a few men who were able TO meet US, but
they were the exception and not the rule.
They could not send track teams that could
make us work" II was true years ago, but
conditions in college track work have
changed In the middle west as
they did in base ball and foot ball.
The great middle west has come to its
own and will be as great a factor in amateur
athletics as the eastern colleges. The meets
will be few. as the distance is too great for
them to meet as readily as among them
selves at home, but they will establish new
records. even as their eastern college
brothers. But the four-mile relay was not
all that fell to the west. In the 1OO-yard
dash Blair Of Chicago and Hahn Of Michigan
came IN second and third in a heart-break-
ing finish and with only two feet between
the two Of them. and schIck of Harvard.
who broke across the line first. In the high

honors In a close finish.

the season opened very auspiciously SO
far as the umpires are concerned. Not a
kick worthy of mention comes from any OF
the Western league towns. Out In Denver

the enjoyment of the sport was spoiled by

had to put up with during the war days.

another scene on the stage, almost as

did you ever notice the different
actions of women and men when
they gambler" inquired the gray old
croupier behind the roulette wheel
at one of the clubrooms last night.
But few Spokane women frequent
the gambling houses, and those come
on the sly" he continued. but It is
interesting to watch the difference
between the actions of the fair sex
and the men.
Every few can control their feat
ures as a man does. 1 can always
tell when woman has a good hole
card by her looks and actions. Her
physiognomy is the true prognosti-
Gator of the hand she holds every
time. She may try to look uncon-
cerned, but invariably overdoes it
and the result is dead giYe-away.
