tary. Hotel Victoria, New York.
The flower Of Americas bowlingdom are
already entered, chief among the entrants

Greater New York; John J. VOORHEES,,
whose fame as a bowler extends from
coast to coast; Fred Schwartz, the present
national champion; John Roster, national

eel, manager of the Cincinnati National
League base ball team; Bob Menninger of

kee.
Even though the best of American PIN
knights are entered, it does not by any
means indicate that the expert bowler
stands the better chance of winning the
title. for past records and the fascinating
regularity OF the bowling game show that
dark horses have always come to the front
i'm national tournaments. nor do national
events confine the Instances where dark
horses have come to the front even with
worlds records. This means that every
man, whether an expert of not, has an eX-
cellent chance to get on a winning streak
and perform in a wonderful manner, which
streaks are peculiar to bowling, and make
the game as fascinating as II is.
Besides the individual stars, quite a few
crack teams. particularly from the west,
have entered. such as the Bonds of Co
| lumbus. who took the national champion
ship at Cincinnati last year; the run

YOUNG CoRBErT GAINS SPEED
Better Than at Any Time DurtnE the
Last Five Years.

NEW YORK, May Some say they
never come back, but William Rothwell,
better known as Young Corbett, Is a living
denial of that old adage as applied TO men
of the ring. Corbett today is nearer TO
the weight and form of his championship
days than he has been at any time in the
last five years.
When he started a course OF rigorous
training last winter the former lightweight
champion weighed lac pounds. He had
made several previous efforts to regain
his standing among the lightweights. but
had failed on account OF weight. that made
him slow in attack and on defense. One
thing he did not lose. however. was his
grit and determination
After several futile attempts to come
back" Corbett finally became convinced
that he was through as a fighter. Every
time he went into the ring his aldermanic
psuneh made him appear that he had not
trained al all. when, as a matter OF fact,
he always worked hard to reduce this
front. In all OF his fights with second
rsters he was slow, and they played for
his flabby front all the time and choked
| off his wind.
Friends of his prosperous days began to
avoid Corbett. who had always been a
liberal spender, and after he quit the ring
ne toured the country WITH Terry McGON-
ern. Their boxing bouts on the stage were
joke affairs. Then Corbett came back to
New York and saw a great light. He
knew he was not making any friends by
remaining idle. so he slipped away with
out saying a word and took up his abode
at Johnson's roadhouse.
Corbett remained at Johnson's for some
time before he was discovered. When the
boxing experts went 20 see him he had
little 10 say. TIN COINS to get In shape
II IL takes me six months. ne declared.
and the experts noticed that his weight
was decreasing; ditto his waist line.
And so after two months OF this rigorous
training the former champion went to New
Orleans. He could not dictate terms for
his matches, but he forgot about the old
days aud hustled for matches and small
purses. Coins down 10 New Orleans by
boat. he turned stoker each day so as to
keep his weight down

There was a time in harness racing that
the grand circuit was known as the
$1,000 line, vet the general annual aver
age Tor stakes and purses was not quite
10000, consequently this will be the largest
amount of purse money ever hung up by
a dozen racing associations, and a pros
pective one in the history of harness turf.
In the great western circuit there will he
ten other important meetings besides those
already described, and these will contribute
rot much less than $4,000 to the above
total.
The western associations which are eX-
pccted to add to this amount are, with
amounts estimated: Libertyville, $4,000;
Gale sburg. $15,O0O; Davenport, $4,000; Joliet.

$4,000. or a total of nearly 100000.
Smaller associations and scattering indie

purse money. Take Des Moines. Sioux City

The cost of living enters largely into
the matrimonial problem. A young
gentleman OF Marietta tells US that on
inquiry of heads Of half dozen families,
he " as informed that it cost them about
one hundred dollars each per month
living expenses. This being true, it de-
notes one fact: that the American peo-
pie are not living as economically as
their forefathers, but in the rush of
this progressive age of many artificial
wants, with everything comparatively
cheap, the cost Of raising families is on
the increase. In the ordinary run of
affairs, it takes good business to spare
one hundred dollars per month for liv-
ing expenses and still have ample CAPT
tai to keep that business going. So few
make that sum clear of all expenses,
that it is mystery how appearances
are kept up.

The February American Magazine pub fishes In it's department, "The Pilgrim Scrip" a document of unusual interest in the shape of letter written by 12-year-old girl who pictures in her imag- ination what the world will be like 1000 years hence. Part of the letter Is here quoted:
 Wellesley, Mass, 2008
 Papa gave me the incest little airship for my birthday, and I have taken about every girl here out in it. Of course you can imagine that we have had many exciting adventures. One time we had to leave the machine away down in Ala bama and come home by the gyroscope line, but of course the rail broke when we had come half way, and made us late for our literature. I borrowed one of the girls machines, though, and got it back again the next day.
