At the opening OF the season OF l9u9
IL was couservatively estimated that the
American golfing army had reached the
400 900 mark. Thanks 10 the increased
popularity of the game, with President
William H. Taft as an enthusiastic ad-
vocate. it is now figured that there are
at least from $4,000 TO 100000 players
in the country.

NEW YORK, Nov. 6.-Do they ever

Did you play football up TO the time

up for business
If YOU did any of these things, do you
think any amount os training would
make YOU as good today as YOU were
before YOU quit the particular sport IN
which YOU were interested!
Hardly.
Thousands Of good men have tried
il and no one has ever come back into
the old time form, whether his forte
was tennis. or rowing. or swimming, or
shooting, or wrestling, or boxing, OF
riding or anything else.
All this. Of course, leads up TO the
question as TO whether or not Jim JET
fries can ever be as good again as he
was five years ago. He may look as
well and feel as well, but viii his eye
work as quickly as it used to? Will
his feet carry him around the ring as
fast as they did when he was the
champion Of the world? his arms
shoot out with the same force that they
did FIVE years ago?
Six Years Rest.
As a matter of fact, it has been six
wears since Jim JeDries had a real
fight. That was on August il. 1908,
when he put Jim Corbett away IN ten
rounds in San Francisco. One year and
two months later he had his little two
round bout with Jack Monroe, and hc
had spent very little time actually
training for that encounter, He didn {

he must be at his very best TO win

There is another thing TO consider.

easy ono. Very few days havc found

New Machine.

The Yowell Saddlery Co., has in.
stalled a new hot wax harness
stitching machine. 1t is a great
improvement over the old hot wax
machine, it has the awl and barbed
needle and carries larger thread
than the size of the needle max
ing a perfectly water proof stitch
and filling the hole entirely with
waxed thread, this also makes it
impossible to rip a single stitch and
is recognized as the greatest i'm
provement over the eye needle
method. The machine has larger
field of work than most of wax
machines, as fine buggy harness
can be stitched as well as the heavi-
est team trace. The power used is

Four to Zero.

The first game of ball played this
season at Amusement Park was be-
tween the Monroe team, of which
much is expected this season, and
the High School team.
1t was readily seen from the
start that the boys who defeated
Madison Saturday at Paris with a
score of ID to 1 was badly out
classed. The score was 4 to 0 in
favor of the City team.
Some of the City team did ex-
cellent work in spite of the cold.
Negro Shot.
Sheriff Nolen and son were
rounding up some of the denizenS
in the African part of Paris, Satur-
day night and a fellow by name of
Kemper made a break for liberty.
The Sheriff'S son saw the break and
plugged the runaway in the should
er with a ball that tumbled him
over like a rabbit. Then it was
easy to secure the balance.
Hot Chase.
Monday afternoon two young
negroes, yellow and black, supposed
to be fIom Paris, grew cold at the
Katy depot and didn't do a thing
but build a fire in box car.
The agent and James Christian
discovered the smoke and found
the negroes in the car and a fire
burning On the floor. They were
ordered out of the car and Mr..
James ran for a bucket of water
while Mr.. Christian stood guard.
Then the negroes seeing the
Quarrels Jail awaiting them struck
a rapid gait east and it was then
Mr.. Christian brought his gun into
play, but the faster he fired the
faster the negroes put distance be-
tween themselves and the man
with the gun.
