No HOLIDAY FOR
BASKET BALL TEAM
Sacred Heart Players TO Strive
Hard for A. A. l.. ChanT-
piOnShiP

With practically a veteran team. Sa-
cred Heart basket ball players are
working hard in preparation for the
coming A. A. L. tournament and intend
to make hard tight for the champion
ship Although the college t1oses next
Wednesday for the Christmas vacation
the players have decided to keep to-
gether and practice during the hoIi-
days
Coach Joe Mil. who was so success
ful with the team Of last year. has
been secured again this season and has
already commenced his work AS the
team has been organized for the last
few months. Mil Will be able to devote
his time to the Improvement of the
teamwork rather than to the selection
of the players.
French. captain of last years team.
is the only one absent from the Lineup.
This clever player is at present at
tending st. Mary's college. His place
will be filed by Heileman. who. so far
this season. has shown considerable
form and whose strong point is shoot
ing foul goals. Dennis, veteran and
captain of the team, will play the other
forward position
At center the team has two candi-
dates in Murphy the occupant of that
position last year and present manager
of the team. and Hurst who has been
registered in the commercial depart
ment for some time, but had refused
to try out for the team until lately
The latter player Will no doubt be Sc

CIaren7Onf Club

The golf season is in full swing and
tournament play will be the order of
the day at all of the local clubs dur
ing the holidays. The tournaments of
the various clubs for Christmas will
be announced some time during the
early part of this week.
Next Sunday Will be devoted to a
professional tournament. Seven play
ers will probably tee off. The
Claremont club will be represented
by at least two and probably three Of
the famous Smith brothers. MacDon-
aid and George Smith are sure to en-
ter and they will have slight advant-
age over the other players, as it is
their home course and they know every
corner OF it. Their brother. Jim Smith,
may return in time to compete. J..
country club, w. J. Bradley of the Pre-
sidio golf club, f. J.. Riley of Bur-
lingame country club and Berrein of
Del Monte will all enter.

POSTPONED Tennis
MATCHES ON TODAY
Final Matches of California and
Golden Gate Club Journeys
Scheduled

The weather prevented the playing
off of the final matches of the tennis
tournaments last Sunday on the courts
of the California and Golden Gate clubs
and, as a consequence, the same card
is on for today.
At the California club an interesting
match will be played in the finals of
the first class. Mel Long and Z. FOtt-
rell will be on opposite sides of the
net. and while the outcome looks a Ger
tainty, some pretty tennis should be
brought out and the match should be
hard one. Long will undoubtedly be
the winner, as he is in class above
his opponent. Fottren. however, is a
tall youth with a long reach and good
style and strokes. and as Long has
not done any practicing of late the
match Should be close one.
The continuous tournament that
started last week sstill continues to
hold the attention of the club mem
bers, and not day passes without
one or more matches being played.
Only one set remains to be played
today In the tournament on the park
courts. Bass and Foley played two
sets few weeks ago with SOnntag and
Easton and won them both 1t was to
be the best three in five sets. but dark
ness prevented the playing of the third
set. Bass and Foley are allowing a
large handicap. but in their present
condition they can easily handle it, and
unless they are entirely off in their
game today -they should win out.
The handicap mixed double tourna-
ment that the club started on Thanks
giving day has not progressed very
far and will probably have to be given
up as it seems impossible to get the
teams together. A number of the
women do not care to play on sun
day and quite a few can not play at
any other time. so such a tournament
seems impossible.

Good Bye Fair World.

Peter Rex young man of some rs to
2S years, painter and decorator, and
who lives with his parents in the Thomp-
son block opposite the Howell Theater,
caused members of his family scare on
tuesday evening by showing them an
empty bottle of carbolic acid and telling
them he had swallowed its contents
Rex had gone TO the drug store and
purchased the acid, at the same time
asking if there was enough in the small
bottle to cause death. After being as
sured there was plenty, he went toward
home, at first taking the precautions to
tell certain parties that he was going TO
kill himself
When he showed the family the emp
ty bottle they sent for DR.. Johnson, who
came in hurry and administered the
proper antidoteS. DR.. Johnson states
that the mans mouth was not burned,
and he inclines TO the opinion that the
poison was not swallowed, but was
poured out. Al any rate he treated The
man Just as if he had taken it.
The young man was all right next day,
physically speaking. That he is a little
off mentally is evident. Those who
know him incline to the opinion that he
wanted sympathy and took this way of
getting it.

Anciant ideas of Africa.

In mediaeval times Africa was an
unknown continent us well as Asia.
Until few years after the discovery
of Columbus no one had sailed around
1t, and it was quite generally thought,
as 1t had previously been thought In
regard to Asia. that the African COLI
tinent extended Oh and on indefinitely.
1t was supposed that far TO the south
was the zone of heat, in which no hui
man being could live. This was by no
means an unreasonable Inference to
the ancientS. They knew that the far
ther they sailed to the north the colder
1t grew and that in the extreme north
was region of perpetual snow. They
also knew that the farther they sailed
to the south the warmer it grew, and
what was more natural for them to
suppose that If they went far enough
in that direction they would come upon
lands that were parched and baked
and upon seas that boiled. where moth
ing could live but salamanders?

Quit Selling Booze.

"Forbearance has ceased TO be vir-
tue" with Judge Wills in dealing with
the dispensers of blind tiger booze who
are convicted before him. This kind
hearted Judge has exercised clemency
with this class of lawbreakers in the
past, only to have some of them appear
at the succeeding term of court charged
with a repetition of the offence. Thurs
day morning, when prisoners were ar
raigned to stand before him for sentence,
the first case was that of white man OF
good family who had pleaded guilty TO
selling liquor in dry county. He had,
a few years ago, served sentence oil
sixty days in the city Jail for the same
offence, and the Judge said he was very
sorry there were no grounds upon which
to exercise the leniency the man asked
at his hands. He therefore sentenced him
to twelve months in the county Jail at
hard labor. A negro accessory was given
the same Sentence.-GaineSville Sun.

INTERLACHEN ITEMS.

Mrs. John Hester, after pleasant visit
with Mrs. E. A. Brush and other friends,
has returned to her home at Hollister.
Mrs. Jenkins, proprietress of the
Brown House, has closed her boarding
house temporarily, and has gone to
Jacksonville to remain some time, visit
ing relatives and friends in that city.
Chas. Brush, formerly of this place
but now one of the prosperous young
business men of Augusta, Ga, is here on
a vacation trip, and will remain until
after the Fourth.
Hector V. Pannacoucke, accompan-
led by his wife and four children, and
MIR. Carl Hecketeer, all from Belgium,
have been sojourning at the Lake View
for the past week, while making ar
rangements to move to their new home
recently purchased by Mr.. Pannacoucke
from the Palatka- Burbank Colony Com
pany. Mr. Pannacoucke is the first col
oniSt to arrive for this colony, and if
those who follow equip their farms
with new and improved machinery, and
high bred stock, as he is doing, coupled
with the proverbial Belgian thrift and
industry, the prosperity of the colony is
assured Just by way of illustrating the
pluck and perseverance characteristic
OF the Belgian people, this incident
might be of interest. On Monday Mr..
Pannacoucke, accompanied by his son,
slender lad of fourteen, went TO Palat-
ka, and there purchased fine horse and
saddle. Although not accustomed to
the winding woods roads of our State,
and unfamiliar with the care of horses,
the lad begged TO be permitted to ride
the animal from Palatka to Interlachen,
and made brave start. But, when
three miles from town, Master Jules dis
mounted, the horse broke away, and al
though the boy gave chase, following
tor two miles or more, he could not
succeed in recapturing the beast. I'm
daunted, he made arrangements with
several persons on the homeward route,
for taking up and caring for the animal
if recovered, and then he pluckily start
ed on the long homeward tramp, dinner.
leSS-having left Palatka before noon.
AT seven p. m, tired and foot-sore, he
arrived at the hotel, after a tramp of not
less than fifteen miles through our Flor
ida woods, not small undertaking for a
slightly built city lad.
News has just been received of the
marriage of Mrs. John Hunter TO Mr.. ].
w. Sweet of St. Louis, Mo. Mrs. Hunt

here some two years ago and having
buried here her first husband, Capt.
