AUTOS AT A COYOTE DRIVE.
California Hunt Not as Successful as
Had Been Hoped For.

A large crowd of San Joaquin coun-
ty residents assembled at the Boil
linger ranch, in the eastern part of
the county, and enjoyed a coyote
drive, which was not as destructive
as the people of that district hoped
for, as the animals kept out of sight
and only a few were killed. OF late
the coyotes have been killing sheep.
pigs and chickens. The scarcity OF
dead animals has caused the coyotes
to invade the ranches and give the
farmer a lot of trouble AS a general
rule, these animals seldom attack
stock, but when driven to starvation
they become bold
1t was with the hope that large
number would be killed that a general
invitation was extended to the people
to assemble and make a roundup. All
kinds of vehicles, from the old fash
ioned top buggy to the latest in au
tomobiles, were in evidence, and many
men appeared on horseback and join
ed the chase. One drive was made in
the forenoon and another in the aft
ernoon, lunch being served between
the two trips. Later another effort will
be made to exterminate the trouble
some animals.

GEORGE KE IN BUSY.
Matrimonial Engagements Seemed Al
ways in Order.

A well-known Virginia clergyman,
onetime president of William and
Mary college, was married three times
and on each occasion the ceremony
was performed by his brother, an even
more renowned bishop. When the first
marriage took place, the bishop had
to refuse a tempting invitation from
an old friend because-so the letter

The same friend happened to be
on the train with him, years after

second ceremony. Il am going to mar
ry my brother George" the bishop
explained, benignly, after the business
of greeting was over Again many
years passed, and the same journey
was taken once more for the same
purpose. BY a strange coincidence,
the identical friend ran into thc bish-
op as they hurried through the depot
to their respective trains. where go

they grasped hands and dashed by
each other.

This feeling Of unrest and dissads-
faction, this growing demand either for
a careful revision OF the existing rules
or for a separate American code, If
necessary, makes II a matter or super
lative Importance that the United States
Golf Association, the association which
represents and controls the game OF golf
throughout the United States. should
set the facts before your honorable com
mittee for tho purpose Of inviting your

No Radical Change Proposed.
I'VE need not say that our executive
committee does not believe in or recon-
mend any drastic or radical legislation,
We well know that the game Of golf IS
a growth, that the rules OF the game
are a growth and stand for the essential
things which have been brought out by
long experience. We know also that the
rules Of golf committee Is and always
has been composed Of able men and
good golfers, men who have the best
interests Of the game at heart and who
know better than outsiders what the
problems have been. and how difficult
it IS to frame rules which viii meet al
cases.
1T is nevertheless the opinion Of our
executive committee. that the time has
come for d revision OF the rules We
do not mean by this that the existing
rules are seriously at fault. IN matter
OF substance, or that an effort should
be made to throw them aside and at
tempt the drafting OF an entirely new
code, but the existing rules certainly
do need revision. Encouragement and

Effect of Letter
United States Body Kept in Suspense as to How
Its Petition viii Be Received by Royal
ST. Andrews Club.

NEW YORK. Sept. THE official
communication sent by the United States
Golf Association on the subject OF rules
10 the chairman of the rules Of golf
committee of the Royal and Ancient
Golf Club of St. Andrews, is causing
no end of comment
The communication is the result Of q
growing demand in this country for an
overhauIing Of the rules. Just how the
letter VIII be received is at present
largely a matter of conjecture, but from
unofficial advices received from abroad
Il is believed that outside associations
will at last be allowed representation,
The letter reads as follows:
I'VE are authorized by the executive
committee of the United States Golf As
ISOLATION to present for the cOnsidera-
ton OF your honorable committee a
matter which. in our opinion, Is OF the
greatest Importance.
THE United States Golf Association
has always been a loyal supporter and
follower Of the ancient game Of golf
as handed down by your ancestors to
you, and in turn by you to Us. and we
earnestly hope that this support and
allegiance will exist as long as the game
is known and played. IT is this strong
sense Of loyalty on the part of our ex-
ecutive committee that impels US to send
you this communication. because in this
country there Is growing up a wide
spread feeling of dissatisfaction with
the existing rules of the game which
has already gone so far as TO call into
prominence a demand for an American
code of rules. without regard to those
laid down by your honorable committee
Reason for Request
1T is to meet this demand for separ-
ate legislation in this country, for a
breaking away from ancient authority
that leads US to suggest TO you the
need of action OF some kind. We are
sure that you Will feel, with US, that
golf as a worldwide game would suffer
irreparable injury If this country should
be forced 10 adopt a code Of rules diff
ferent from the rules in force in Great

PazSOH Davies
Managed Many
Star Fighters
Jackson, Choynski, Hall,
and Ryan Among
Them.

NEW YORK, Sept. THE news Of the
serious illness Of Parson Davies. at Buff
falo, was received with sincere regret
in sporting circles here.
For nearly a quarter Of a century
Davies, who was nicknamed the Par
SON. by the late NJ. c. Mcdonald. of
Chicago, has been identified with pugi-
lists, one Of his first efforts in the man
ageriaI line being with Charlie Mitchell,
who in 1856 was substituted for Jack
Dempsey in a fight with Patsy Cardin
in Minneapolis.
Davies figured as the promoter Of
nearly all the big hstic contests held in
the old Battery D, Chicago, during the
nineties, and shortly after Peter Jack
son fought his slxty-one-round draw
with Jim Corbett in San Francisco in
1891 Davies became the manager Of the
colored heavyweight. and their business
relations continued during Jackson 5
tour in England and up to the time Of
the latter's death. Davies always be-
heved Peter 70 be the best heavyweight
OF his day.
Halls Defeat Sad Blow.
Joe Choynski Jim Hall, Tommy Ryan,
and Bob Armstrong were all under the
managerial care of Davies. In 1895
Davies matched Hau against Fitzsim-
mons at New Orleans and the four
round defeat of the former was a heavy
blow to Davies and his friends, among
the latter being Squire Abingdon, who
had come oyer from England to see
the 60
OF late years Davies has been connect
ed with theatrical and billiard room ven
lures in New Orleans.
