WANTED A SHOPPING AGENCY.
Two Men Decide That Woman Who Opens
One Would Make Money.

What this town needs is a shopping agency"
said the morose man in the car, "a place where
a fellow could go and put down his little money
and a list OF the people to whom he wishes 10
give Christmas gifts. and let the agency do the
rest"
1T isn't feasible" said his next door neighbor
GROSSLY. Nothing so Utopian could possibly
come to pass"
Yes, it could" replied the morose man For

this: Present for young woman who says she
is twenty-five but looks twenty-five. Already

chatting dish. Has been heard to say she needs
a mufr Present not to exceed So
Present for elderly man who smokes nothing
but Pittsburg stosies and who does not shave
himself. Will not wear slippers. doesn't read
anything except newspapers and has no fads
I'll bet that would be a poser for the agency.
They'd give him neck thing to wear with
his dress suit. whether he had a dress suit

before.

what in the world could the agency make
out of that?''
''If IT had any sagacity 1t would make out

pense of the Bayonne combination which had
been leading AS the situation stands. Rose
Vile is showing the way, with ten games won and
five defeats, closely followed by the Jersey City
club with nine wins and six defeats.
Jersey City performed creditably for the reason
that the team succeeded In winning the odd game
from the strong Elizabeth Club five on the lat
ters alleys. BY winning two games from the Pas
sale Club the New York Athletic Club pulled up a

lost. is tied with Newark Bay for third place
In the individual average race Meyer, or Jer-

pins behind the leader Van Ness passed Meyer.

SPORTS PURER AND BETTER.

The revision Of the rules of American college
ball, which not only saved the game but provided
better one, stands out the legislative feature
OF the year just closed and of hardly less impor-
tcnce the progress made by the intercollegiate
Athletic Association of the UniIed States looking
to the publication Of sports q whole and their
better regulation, and the individual stand taken
by most OF the larger universities TO the same gen.
eral erd. Prosslyting, than which perhaps no
greater evil existed in college sports is practically
q thing Of the past. and under the eligibility
code there Will be less commerciasm and more
sport for sports sake than has beer the case in
years. The housecleaning was delayed all too long,
but when it came it thorough enough to satisfy
even the most radical reformers. The Amateur
Athletic Union carried along the good work in its
field and put obstacle IN the way Of the larger
clubs drawing promscEously from the college ath-
letes to strengthen some weak point. The rule
herdly drastic enough, q loCpkole was left but
il a step forward The Jockey Club made
some needed changes in the rules of racing, and
IS considering further amendments which
will make for good. The National and American
leagues continued to rule wisely and well in pro-
fessional baseball while IN yachting. golf, lawn
tennis all other branches OF sport the govern
hng bodies worked with the single purpose for ad-
vancement, and succeeded in the main. There Is
need for continued vigilance and further legisla-
ton. but these will follow as the needs arise, as the
uend is upward.

THOROUGHBRED RACING.

though the best horses in training have been
named. The chief strength lies IN the three-year-

occasions. Conroy and Irish Lad won the Brook

SPORTING COMMENT.
Nezcs and Vie1cs on Current Topics,
amateur and Professional.

In looking backward and considering the world
OF sports for 1906 fail to be impressed
with the forward strides made. both from legis-
lative and performance standpoint, and in looking
forward 10 the year just begun the feeling grows
that there win be backsliding. but rather
further development along the lines which will
make for purer sports and for better regulated
sports than before The outlook is bright
indeed. as there does not appear TO be a single
branch Of sport that Is not in strong and
healthful condition, and consequently open TO a
broadening out and general advancement. 1t is
cause for congratulation that the high standard
TO which all true sportsnen have aspired is being
maintained. or, at least. closely approached in
both the major and minor sports, and that there
Is wider participation from year TO year in all
forms OF healthful outdoor and indoor sports and
recreatons; It IS cause for particular comment
that some OF the performances last year were
truly remarkable and reflected credit this coun-
try In a marked degree. 1t is not the purpose of
this article review in detail the sports of 1906.
but it might be well TO begin the new year with
the salient features fresh in mind, to the end
that in making resolutions a full realization OF
what must be done and what is required TO meet
the standard should be plainly outlined.
