WHICH +?

Smith was working in his yard,
Pushing his lawn mower hard,
Brown, who happened then to pass,
Asked: "Well, out to cut your grass"
"No," said Smith, "I'm herding whales
In the midst of arctic gales"
Brown walked on, and shook his head,
Musing over what Smith had said.
Smith went in barber shop
Having his hair trimmed on top;
Jones came in with jaunty air,
Asked: They're clipping off your
hair?'
NO." said Smith, we're making brick,
Also weaving candle wick"
Jones walked very softly out,
With his mind quite full of doubt.
Smith was riding on car,
Fretting et the jolt and jar.
Black got on, and asked beside:
"Out to take little ride?" :.>.
NO." growled Smith, 'I'm climbing
trees
To enjoy the evening breeze"
Black got off, and tapped his brow,
Thinking Smith was dotty now.
Smith was lunching in place
Where the busy walters race.
White came in from the street,
Asked: do you come here to eat?"
No." said Smith, "I'm here to sing
Joyous lyrics of the spring"
White walked solemnly away,
And was serious all day.
Brown and Jones and Black and White
Met together that same night
And took steps to put poor Smith
Where he need not suffer with
The delusions that he had
All four of his friends were sad.
But consider it, pray
Who was foolish? He or they?

Battler Fights, and Guides
Moving Picture Men

For the first time in the history of
the boxing game fighter yesterday
fought his own championship fight
and, as a side issue, directed the doings
of the moving picture men he had
hired. This was Bat Nelson's great
stunt. 1t was up to him to get good
films if he hoped to gain financially.
and he did everything within his
power TO make good That he did.
everybody who saw him work will ad-
nit.
Nelson contracted with Miles Broth
ers for II rounds. The picture men
were not to take more than this un-
less directed. They closed their ma
chimes after the seventeenth. but. in
the twenty first. Nelson gave them the
office to go ahead when he had knocked
Hyland down. Just imagine a fighter
displaying such business presence of
mind at such a critical momentI
From that time on Bat measured his
every movement for the benefit of the
picture machine. He made each punch
count and he posed so that the blows
should come out clearly and sharply.
1t was a great piece OF work, and no.
body has any credit coming save the
champion himself.

PERRY LOSES PRELIMINARY
The preliminary was a bloody affair
and Nelson's sparring partner jeff
Perry, lost the close decision to Frank
Perry, last the close decision TO Frank
Smith in 10 rounds. Tiv Kreling was
the referee. 1t was one of those slam
bang affairs In which the boys battered
each other for the 10 rounds.
In the early rounds Perry showed
to advantage, but Smith was one of
those willing fellows who would not
back up, and he was coming on all the
time. There were times during the
battle when 1t looked as IL one or the
other would take the count, as botn
fighters were sending in their best
licks and many of them were reaching
the vital points
Toward the end of the contest Smith
he took the lead. He appeared to
have more effective punches than
Perry, and he kept forcing matters.
He kept shooting in both hands to
Perry's sore nose and kept the crimson
streaming from his nostrils until the
end. Both lads went to it in the last
round and they fought very fast. The
decision was well received.

THIRTY POINTS ON
PAPER FOR THE
CARDINAL
Stanford Figures That Team
viii Bring Back Cup From
Conference Meet

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, May %
There is the keenest interest at Stan
ford over the showing of the cardinal
track team at the big conference meet
at Chicago. The results of the inter
mediate meets with Utah and Colo
rado and the fine performance of the
team last year have all led to the be-
lief that the pennant for this big event
viii come to the coast this time. This
confidence is perhaps due to an over
desire to see the home team win, but
the dope on which it is based is
logical and worthy of serious consid-
Grafton.
Even Trainer Dad Moulton, who
usually looks on the shady sides of
things, has admitted that his charges
have a good chance, and the forecasters
have it all settled and have made
place in the trophy room for new
cup. The undergraduate enthusiast
figures that Stanford should have over
so points when the final count is made
and that this total will be more than
enough to insure a first place. Miller
is looked upon as certainty in the
half mile, and the way in which this
veteran athlete has stepped his eighty
eight during the entire season clearly
justihes such a conclusion. Miller's
defeat of Glarner last Saturday hardly
surprised his friends.
If Miller is sure of his distance.
Wyman should be just as certain of
the quarter mile. Wyman is by all
odds the prettiest runner seen at Stan
ford for long time, and time and
again during this semester has he run
the grueling distance IN close to the
so second mark. Miller can easily
axe second in the quarter if he runs.
but if Stanford enters a relay team he
viii probably be saved for that last
event. Miller and Wyman, then, are
booked to take 10 points. Little Scottie
had bum ankle in the intercollegiate
meet with the University of California.
but he won just the same. In shape
this lad is good for nearly II feet. and
his first place will make Is points
Then big Babe" Crawford is relied
upon to get away with 10 points.
Babe" puts the shot far out of reach,
something like a. feet 6 inches, and he
whirls the hammer out in the neigh
borhood of $50 feet. That makes 25
points.
Reed ran a 10 second fiat hundred
in the Utah meet, and he is good for
10 Is at Chicago at least To be con-
servative he is given third place.
which brings the total up TO 26 points
Captain Horton, although damaged and
unable to step the hurdles, is still In
form with the shot, and his put is very
close to Crawfords. So 3 more make
%. Stolz jumps % feet consistently in
the broad. and a third place there adds
/, and the result is 80.
The cardinal relay team this year
broke the worlds record. and although
the personnel viii not be exactly the
same at Chicago, three of the men,
Wyman, Miller and Stolz, will run, and
a second place is securely counted
upon The final total is 33 points Last
year the conference was won with a
total of IS.
