BALTIMORE is in the throes of
another municipal election. AS
usual the scrapping Democrats are
keeping up their reputation as log-
gerheads, while the Republicans are
o unit. We thought Baltimore and
the State of Maryland had lately
sahered enough from fractional Demo-
cratic fights to impress them for
many years with the lesson. But it
seems not, and the sympathy of DEM
ocrats elsewhere is well nigh ex-
hausted.

A STEAMROLLER'S GRACE
It Is Displayed by Jack Monroe,
the Butte Pugilist, on the
New York Stage.

Jack Monroe rehearsed his part In the
Road to Ruin strenuously at New York
Saturday. He is about as graceful on the
stage as steamroller.
Z What am going to say?" he asked
the stage manager after his part was
carefully explained.
Say anything you please" roared the
manager, "But whatever you say, blank
ETY. blanket, say it loud" Monroe said he
had a poor voice. He remarked if he had
to make q speech he would go speechless.

naker for the Fort Erie Athletic club, an

x-champion making the offer, and if sat-
isfactory answers are received he will, he
says. at once post forfeit Of So 900 as a
guarantee that the contest will take place
without interference.

asked. $3.50 .-.t, - -
1T is not certain that the match will

It will be remembered, however, that
three championship contests between
lightweights and middleweights have al

there has been no infraction of the law
governing boxing contests
The fight will be pulled off in June if
possible.

Following the lead Of the American

opposition:

IT'S NOT WORTH DENYING
Absurd Story That Fitzpatrick of
Wisconsin, Is After Position
of DR.. Williams.

Manager Fitzpatrick Of Wisconsin and
Andy O. Dea, coach of the badger crew
were in Minneapolis, Saturday. Their
visit was purely of a personal nature,
and had nothing to do with varsity 'ath-
letics. .~E@r.
Fitzpatrick literally frothed at the mouth
when he saw the story in an evening
paper Saturday to the effect that he was
here for the purpose of inducing some of
the gopher football men to desert to
Wisconsin. THAT is the most ridicu-
lous statement I ever saw" he said.
''Why, all the good men Minnesota has,
such men as Irsfeld, Davies, O'Brien and
others whom I might name, have played
in college games, and even if I wanted
to get them to Wisconsin, and if they
were willing to come, they could not play
for us until they. have been year in

GOLF

"A new system OF par handcapping in golf has
been devised 1t was given out by President
Lionel H. Graham at the executive meeting of
the New Jersey State Golf Association, held in
New York. -,
After the meeting called to order Mr.
Graham presented his handicap scheme which,
after being explained, met with the unanimous
approval Of his colleagues In brief, Graham s
method is for the clubs to adopt as a basis for
their handicapping the par score Of their links.
Theoretically, this system is correct. In prac-
tice. however. it will be found impossible to ac-
curately represent the playing values Of the diff
ferent holes in whole figures. The remedy.
therefore, is to allow half strokes, which is the
system recommended.
Par is based entirely upon the playing length
of hole, and 1t has been recommended that
the par for distance be officially rated as fol-
lows:

Suppose the scratch player Of club holds the
for the course is rs. he would receive handi-
cap Of 4, and all the other players would be
rated on the same basis. All that would be
necessary for the Handicapped to do would be
to work out the par score Of his course in ac-
cordance with the official rating just given,
bearing in mind the physical confguration Of the
various holes and adjust his handicaps accord
ingly. 1t is not intended that the boyle of the
various courses be changed. The par score is
only intended for the handicap committees of
the different clubs, in order to enable them to
rate their players on standard basis.
