SELF about the swlfteSt thing that ever
passed thru Renville. He also remarked
that he could beat any horse on earth
On half-mile track-that is il the
horse trotted or paced mile while he
sprinted half. There were boots OF
derision at this, but Brother Jones dug
down in the weazleskin and remarked
that the "tainted talked" Some Of
the scornful also had bit Of the cein
that has escaped Rocky's eye and bet
was soon made, providing that Sam
Smith would let his horse be used in
such an unholy proceeding as race
for dough. Sam reluctantly consented
and when the track was reached it was
found that it was glare of ice. Hero
again the horse adherents thought they
had the ball player, but there were
looks Of dismay when Jones unroIled a
bundle and produced his baseball shoes
with spikes an inch long.
To tell the story is to tell Of the
downfall Of Sam Smith 3 PAGER and the
uplifting Of the colored race. Jones
won. The horse went fast, but the long
legged sprinted fairly melted the ice,
winning by good margin. RenviIle
has less money now, but it knows more
about the relative speed Of horse at
a mile and baseball pitcher at a half
mile. There Is even talk of barring
Jones from the Renville Pinoehle club.
If Jones offered to bet that he could
run a mile in a minute the Renvilleites
would touch wood and cross their I'm
gers.
Jones has them buffaloed.

~ RESIDENT ANGEL, Of Michf-
gan, was the amiable old gentle
man who called that last meet
ing Of the "Big "-nein conference reia-
tive to football when the wheel horses
Of Plato went crazy, took the bits in
their teeth and ram away with them
selves. 1t was Michigan's desire that
western athletics should be lily white
pure as Caspar Whitney alleged Chicago
to be-and in following the Angel
angel idea the Big-nein lost all sense Of
fitness, bearing, wisdom or policy.
Now right on top of this comes the
story from Iowa that Michigan ennis
saries are securing Iowa and getting all
sorts Of athletes to jump the hawkeye
teams and 60 to Michigan. Perhaps
the sponsor for pure athletics viii call
a conference over this, Perhaps
Minnesota's grave, deliberate and lib
eral faculty council will adopt another
set Of rules or regulations set to trap
other schools. So much has been said
and done about football that 1t is hard
telling what will happen.
