I'd like to- be q boy once more Back on the old hill farm,
 With birds and brooks, a gun and traps. And all such things to charm. I'd rise at four more willing now, To do all sorts of work;
 Go milk the COWS and feed the pigs, With never wish to shirk. I'd even turn the old grin'stun And sweat with backache pain, And blistered hands. l SNOW I would To be boy again.
 I'd love to hike to the swimmin' hole Some moonlit summer night, To strip and swim, and shout and dive, In care-free nude delight. Methinks cen now l see.that hole Far out of sight and sound, With willow tree a bending OCT And foam fecks floating round. A bed of water cress above, And outbent diving plank, Some blue flag kissing the stream be-
 low, !.
 And oval grass-grown bank. Of all the memories now returned, There's none that thrill my soul Much more than those that cluster
 round
 That dear old swimmin' hole. I'd love to swipe from pantry room Some doughnuts, cheese and cake, A piece of pie, pickle, too, Such as mother used to make. All this and these I'd like to do And once more be boy With hickory shirt, sun-tan'd face And naught of Cares alloy. I'd like to go to school again, To the byway Temple of Lore, With knife-hacked desk, a backless
 seat,
 And well-worn, much-warped floor. I'd love to shout and scrap and play The game of two old cat; Speak pieces, play hockey, get licked, Or catch minnows in my hat. I'd like just now, swear I would. To once more silly be; By playing kissing games beneath The shade of the old apple tree. Or later on to take the chance When with love was smitten, The Singin' school o'er, and Abby out, Of gettin' her-or the mitten. And then the thrill as she smiled "yes," How 1t madeimy heart pit pat; In all the days of life before, There was nothing equal to that! But sweetest of all was the ivied porch Where she and l slipped love, While. new-mown hay perfumed the air And firehies uwinkled above. For she was almost sweet sixteen, And was a silly boy, With love newborn, witching thing, A heav'n-sent. blissful joy. But that was long, so long ago, A leaf from Memory's page; I'm old and cranky, prosy. .now, With pulses stilled by age. Yet the dream returns in spite of care, And all the years thatspart The now from those bright boyish ones, When Abby thrilled my heart. There's only few to count on now Of years; or even days maybe; When l must close my eyes for good, And no more sunshine see. But many or few, I'd give them all For loves young dream again, When she and walked hand in hand Along the moonlit lane... But they can ne'er return to me Except down Memory's nave, For Abby's gone, and forty years Has grass grown on her grave.

JOE O'CONNOR
CLEVER MANAGER
DIRECTS AFFAIRS OF STANLEY
KETCHEL
ONCE A PHOTOGRAPHER IN LOS
ANGELES
Well Groomed, Pleasant Appearing
Chap Looks After the Young
Mlddleweight Cham
pion

If you happen to see quiet, we'll
groomed and pleasant appearing man
out at the South Side Athletic club
watching every move that Stanley
Ketchel makes, do not think that some
one is trying to "kid" you when they
say that it is Joe O'Connor, the mid
dleweight champions manager, for
such Is not the case. Managers, like
fighters, have improved, and, at present,
they are of the highest type of BUSH
ness man.
O'Connor, before he became the di-
rector Of Stanley KetchePs business,
was in the photograph business, and
for the last twenty-nine years has been
known up and down the coast as one
of the most successful men in his line.
Thirteen years ago, when Los Angeles
was nothing but little black spot on
the map, instead of occupying lot OF
red space, as it does at present. O'Con-
nor had gallery at First and Broad
way, where most of the oldtimers of
any prominence had their maps
snapped for future generations to gaze
at.
When he feels in the mood O'Connor
can tell OF many rare experiences in
various parts of the world. He has
been around the world twice and spent
eight years in South America as Of
fetal photographer for the govern
ment. Many OF the plans LOT the great
Panama canal are based on pictures
which he made for the United States,
and his stories of life among the ma
tives are highly entertaining.
O'Connor and Ketchel are more like
father and son than like fighter and
manager. Ketch lives with OConnors
son, Tom, and when not training for
one battle or another, the two boys
go around like any other kids"
The first meeting between O'Connor
and Ketchel took place many years
ago, when Ketchel came to O'Connor
In Butte and asked him to look out
for his affairs. O'Connor declined at
the time, but, after the first fight with
Joe Thomas, Ketchel again made the
request, and this time O'Connor thought
better of it and decided to look out
for the Montanan. O'Connor still owns
his studio in San Francisco but spends
most of his time touring the country, |
Ketchel, and let's his sons
run the photograph business.

OUTLOOK BRIGHT FOR
WATER POLO SEASON
Interest in Tournament Being Ar
ranged for Winter Months Increas-
ing and Public Is Taking Mo-
tIce of the Sport

The outlook for a successful season
of water polo never was brighter In
Southern California than it is at the
present time. Foremost in the move
ment for the popular sport Is Secre-
tary Leslie Henry of the Southern
California Swimming association. The
best proof that the proposed tourna-
ment to be held during the winter
months will be interesting Is found in
the number of spectators who have
attended the various practice games
which have been played at Venice dur
ing the past two months.
Without a doubt, the final struggle
will be between the water polo team
Of the Los Angeles Athletic club and
that of Venice. Both of these teams
will have in their lineups champion
swimmers and men who know and play
the game to it's limit. The new Y. M.
C. A. team is more or less a dark horse
at the present time, but no doubt will
develop into one Of the strongest, IL
not the strongest, teams of the league.
Secretary Henry has not yet announced
the date Of the first game of the series,
and probably will not do so until he
has meeting of the managers Of the
different teams which make up the
league.
Nothing definite is known at the
present time regarding the new Long
Beach team, as the players of that
city are rather slow in getting to-
gether. 1t is rumored that the owners
of the Long Beach bath house, where
the games would be played, does not
look with favor upon the proposed adj
vent of water polo into Long Beach.
This view may be due to ignorance
regarding the sport than which there
is no cleaner played or prettier from
the spectators point, in the aquatic
world. However, If Secretary Henry
desires to establish water polo team
at Long Beach, 1t IS. safe to say that
the team will be established.

WHERE TO FISH

Fishing conditions were not improved last
week and the sport along both the south
and west coasts was poor. San Pedro alone
of the west coast resorts gave fair return
to the sportsman. At the other points even
the small fry were scarce. Along the south
coast fairly good catches OF yellow I'm, surf.
halibut and bass were made. All ran small
in size, however. At San Pedro the chan
mel furnished good fishing several days in
the week to those who took row boats and
fshed near the big dredger Croaker, bass
and yellow I'm predominated ana some good
sized fish were caught.
Redondo furnished the sportsman yellow
tail for one day in the week and Playa del
Rey reported pompano running on two days.
Outside the fishing continued good and az
Catalina and San Clemente tbs fishing was
improved considerably and splendid catches
were made every day in the week
The wise fisherman will remain away from
San Clemente during the coming month and
thereafter as the danger of sudden and vio-
lent storms which will swamp an ordinary
fishing boat is too great
Tide viii be high Sunday at 1858 a..
with q rise OF 5.2 feet and low at 4;40 p
m. with a drop to Ia feet This VIII make
a gentle current in the bays and channels

landowners and night hawks.

HUNTING AND FISHING

About thirty members of the South
ern California Rod and Reel club at
tended the regular monthly meeting
which was held Thursday night at Bur-
bank hall. President Ed Hedderly pre-
sided. while Recording Secretary Roy
&. 3. Shaver and Financial Secretary
r. r. Abbott read their respective re-
ports, including that of the last meet
ing. Many of the members gave inter-
esting talks regarding conditions and
offered suggestions whereby existing
evils could be overcome. The particular
subject OF the evening was the scarcity
of the crawfish, which in each year is
becoming more pronounced, largely due,
one member said, to the unlawful fish
ing of the Japanese fishermen.
AL Green Of Playa del Rey attended
the meeting of the California Rod and
Reel club Thursday night. He brought
with him few heavyweight fish stories
which he attempted to spring on the
unsuspecting audience. The first, how
ever, was enough. 1t concerned a few
pet swordfish which AL had tied to one
Of the posts at the wharf at Playa del
ReY.
Fritz wager will leave the city today
for a weeks hunting trip at Acton.
Fritz already has killed one big buck
has the hunting fever.
The few hunters who are returning
from trips of late report that the best
hunting is to be found in the lowlands.
They give as the reason for this the
fact that the mountain streams are
drying up and the deer are compelled
to come into the valleys to drink. Many
Nimrods are planning to pass the week
at hunting in the nearby mountains.
Ed Colder, jr., who is only 16 years
old, is the proud possessor OF a large
bucks head which he killed yesterday
at Capistrano. At the time of the kill
ing he was accompanied by his father
and II. o. Steffron. All three of the
party fired at the animal at the same
time, but the boy was the only one
who hit 1t.
S. S. Spier will be one of a party
which will make trip to Clemente in
the near future and attempt to catch
one or more record fish.
Jay Welton will pass next Sunday
morning in San Fernando valley, where
he expects to bag the limit of doves
within two hours.
]. Brown, accompanied by his wife,
will pass the coming Sunday at Bal
boa. Brown is an adept with the light
rod and invariably brings home a good
basketful OF fish.
The record British salmon weighing
108 pounds was caught in the Forth In
1902, but the announcement is only
made public now by the report of the
Scottish fishery board, whose expert
heard of the capture last winter. He
slyly remarks that the matter was kept
secret as the possession of the fish
was fraught with certain amount of
danger to the captors,' but after full
inquiry he is satisfied that he records
the greatest known weight for any
British salmon. The next heaviest was
"a pounds, caught in the Tay In the
same river 61h-pound fish was taken
by the rod last year, which was re-
markable for the number of heavy sal
mon.-Irish Times.
