Fine Cattle in Obion.

t. L. Bransford, of this city, sold
this week 81 head OF fine thorough
bred Red Durham steers raised on
his suburban farm northwest of the
city. Messrs. Geo. S. Hardy and
" m. Nash we're the purchasers.
The steers weighed LOO pounds
each and netted SAT 80 per head.
Mr.. Bransford became interested
in fine cattle raising several years
ago, and since that time has been
very successful. This country is
we'll adapted for the raising of fine
stock, cattle and hogs. In fact our
farms have as many natural advan-
tages as any country. We can
grow the best IN any l1ne-all kinds
of cereals and grasses, corn, cotton
and tobacco. The last two men,
toned crops we are now turning
our attention to, and before many
years Obion County will be as well
known for it's fine stock as Middle

try of Kentucky.

How can I do without gowns at Bar

CHICAGO. Aug. s,-The women OF the

protests against being called "segs.' They
say they do not object to being called
"co-eds, or the Midway girls. or -Dr
Harper's young women or any Of the
other terms which are often used to de-
scribe them But the word seq" Is beyond
the limit, and the university girls have
started crusade against the Objectionable
term. which they hope will result in It's
consignment to oblivion.
The young women have begun the cru
SADIE by appealing to the press Some Of the
leaders among the girl students got up a
petition to the editors of the daily papers
and circulated 1t among their sisters. This
petition condemns the use o. the word, and
asks the editors to avoid its use In the
articles relating 70 the uniyers s,,sn The
that the word is ugly that only part of
the co-etls are segregated, and that the men
are "segs" as well as the women. They
say they much prefer the less Objectionable
term "co-ed."

OPENING oF.wREsr11Na SEASON
Good Bouts Promised at Odd Fellows
Hall Tomorrow Night.

dall TOMORROW Night.
Wrestler Joe Grant and his manager.
Charley Weiss Of Baltimore, put in good
evening of work at the Columbia Turn
verein Hail. In the southeast, last night.
Many of the members were present and
enjoyed the practice Immensely; in fact,
the work pleased the onlookers so much
that the keys to the hall were turned over
to Manager Weiss, and the chances are that
he will do all his preliminary work there In
the future. Grant has shaped up splendidly
and Is in fine condition for his match with
Pardello at the Odd Fellows Hall tomor-
row night
Instead Of having numerous preliminary
bouts, Manager Weiss has decided to put
on but one, that between Claud Hill and
Harvey Terrill, and substitute two star
events for the opening of the season. The
other big match will be between Boxwell
C'Young Sandow'C of this city and George
Burlingame OF Baltimore. Both men weigh
over 200 pounds, and as there Is consider
able feeling between the two the match
should be well contested and interesting
champion OF the south, and last fall threw
Boxwell twice out Of three falls the latter
getting the first In something like four min
utes This match is to~be catch-as-catch-
can. with the strangle hold barred best
two In three falls. If either man uses the
strange hold the match will be given to his
opponent. If the match goes on for any
great length the wrestling will be stopped
by the referee and the purse awarded to
the man doing the best work There Is to
be no division of the purses. which should
make all the wrestlers put forth their best
efforts at all times.
With Grant and Boxwell representing this
city and Pardello standing for New York
and Burlingame for Baltimore the interest
In the opening matches of the season tomor-
row night should be unusually great.

HARRY vARDoN's ILLNESS.
Great Golf Master Stricken With Pull
monary Trouble.

With the bare announcement that Harry
Vardon, four times open champion golfer
of the world. under Doctors orders would
not take part In any more open tournaments
during the season. none who read it realized
Since the lines appeared, however, it
would seem that Vardon was stricken with
pulmonary trouble, and is now In a SANTA
rum in London
That he will recover and live for many
years to display his mastery skill is a SEN
timent which will be voiced by every player
throughout the continent.
Never strong constitutiOnally 1t was a
break down in health in his earlier days on
the Isle of Jersey which was the direct
est master in modern days, II not In all
times. But for this Vardon might have re-
manned a gardener-his initial occupation
all his life.
In speaking of this during his visit to this
country Vardon said: When 1 was about
seventeen l taken with hemorrhages
and my employer. who was a DOCTOR recon-
mended should be in the fresh air as much
as possible. and at the same time not over
exert myself. With a generous kindness
which l can never forget, he suggested I
devote myself to golf. and until the time
came when l could support myself by the
game he took every care Of me-"
Apparently the old trouble has returned
only temporarily, however, will be the wish
of every one.
Harry Vardon and the late young Tom
list of champions, in that both have won
the worlds title four times. A fifth victory
to Vardon's credit would place him ahead of
all golf giants past or present.

Took Fine Match From Jerseyites by
Four Points

The Oxford-Cambridge golfing combina-
ton won another match yesterday, defeat
ing picked team Of New Jersey golfers
over the Baltusrol links by 10 points to G.
an apparently good margin. but in reality
one Of the closest squeaks the Britons have
had in this country.
After the mornings foursomes the score
showed three matches to two, in favor of
the foreigners. When all but two Of the
days matches had been finished it was
seen that by winning both of these the
Americans could break even on the day.
Both matches had to be carried to extra
holes
The first Of the extra-hole contests was
between Capt. John Low Of the Oxford
Cambridge team and Max Behr, the young
Norris county player. Playing the extra
hole, Low pulled out of bounds. while
Behr sliced into trouble and then made the
mistake of trying to play his brassy from
Indifferent lie. AS result Low won
the hole in 6 to Z.
On Saturday the Britons will play
match at Philadelphia, while next week
they expect to take part in the Ekwanok

KITS HEADY PLAY.
How Keller Outgeneraled the P1ucky
Catcher

From the Philadelphia North American.
During the recent short stay in Philadel-
phia of the Senators they spoke with adj
miration and esteem of a heady play emit
| ted by Malachi Kittridge The little catcher
talks of it himself and claims his foot
slipped at the wrong time-good excuse.
The game was in New York and at the
time Of the heady demonstration Keller
third base and Camel at second.
A ball hit to the infield was thrown to the
plate and Kittridge chased Keller back
toward third. Meanwhile Camel advanced
from second until both runners were close
to the bag. Kittridge had the ball with
Keller penned between the catcher and the
base. Seeing himself done for Keller
paused and handed out some salve.
Kit" he said. you are the only catcher
in the business who ever got me sewed up
like this Let me congratulate you, old
man"
Sticking out his hand as If to shake that
of his conQueror, Willie advanced to the
smiling Kittridge, ducked around him like
a streak and sped for the plate.
You're a nice one you are!" yelled the
and the chase was on once more. Half
way home Kittridge threw to the pitcher,
who was covering the plate. The ball
hit Keller on the head and bounded to the
stand and by the time Kittridge recovered
the ball Keller and Camel had scored
kittridge told us in confidence that the
heady part of the play developed when he
cracked Willie on the coco with the ball
That must be it.
