begin to creep all over me when ]
fancy those six weeks, or maybe it
would have to be eight weeks this
time, of work that would be necessary
to get me into condition.
Now, I've had unpleasant things
come up in my life, and later had to
go through them again. That's the
way with most of us, | guess. But
with training it is vastly different.
The tortures of training never will
be erased from my memory.
People say I get my money easy
because it was just natural for me to
wrestle; well, / have all the natural

Lacrosse GROWING in Popularity.

Lacrosse, the national game OF
Canada, is rapidly becoming a world
wide sport The Britisher has scat
tered cricket, and association football
wherever he has settled. Baseball is
confined almost entirely to Americans
ana Canadians and is being taken up
By the Japanese and Chinese. On the
other hand. lacrosse is played not by
Canadian residents in foreign lands,
but by teams composed of natives in
the United States, Great Britain,
Australia. New Zealand, South Africa,
Japan, etc.

Z The mat game will know it's greatest
exponent, Frank Gotch, no more, ac-
cording Ed Smith, close friend of the
wrestler. Smith said:
The absolute horror of training out
weigh in the Gotch mind the love-or
need, as the case may be-of money.
In other words, the champion will at
tempt to worry along now on what he
has accumulated-and live in peace
and quiet. Also he will live without
the torture of having to think that
within certain time he will have to
start the hideous grind of going on
the road in order to get himself fit
for hard match
Dante never pictured worse tor
ture or narrowed soul with more
frightful ideas of an inferno than
Gotch entertains about training.
Its a strange situation but true
one nevertheless. And other athletes
who have reached a certain stage af-
ter the troublous years of the grind,
talk in much the same strain as does
Gotch. ......
The other day ran into Gotch in
a downtown hotel. 1t was the first
time / had seen him since last fall
when he wrestled Hackenschmidt
here. Clad in woolly overcoat and
under heavy cloth hat, the Iowa star
looks as fat and sleek as a retired
business man, whose one aim was to
exact most of the good things out of
this life.
''Gotch has just closed up the fall
work on the farm and is casting about
for something else to occupy his time
But suggestion about wrestling
again brought out the old Gotch smile

FOOTBALL TOO ROUGH
Pughlsts Dodge Gridiron Game
Because Too Strenuous.
Average Fighter Would Sooner Face
Pack OF Fallen Angels Than Take
Any Part in the Popular Col
iege Pastime.

If you want to get fighters goat
Just ask him to help out some team in
football game" said Bug Slateery to
a party of friends the other day.
writes Walter C. Kelly in the Cleve
land Leader. a.
"How's that, Bug; don't the nitt
artists like the gentle gridiron pas
timer" asked Harry L. Davis, who IL
an enthusiast on all branches of clean
sport.
THE average pugilist would sooner
face pack of fallen angels than take
part In football contest" answered
Slattery. THE professional fighter
has horror of the strenuous college
sport. He does not like the roughing.
and the terrific bumps that the gladi-
ators of the gridiron are so accus-
toned to. A fighter likes to have q
single opponent, and he wants him in
such a position that he can keep his
eyes upon him all the time. He dis
likes to have king upset him from
other chaps stamp all over him and
wipe up the mud with his physiog
nomy
They brought big fighter to Buff
falo few years ago to play against
the Oakdales. The manager of the Wis
iting team thought his fighter could
take care of anything they would
place opposite him in the game, and
he went in there with the express de-
termination to knock out his man. But
he counted without his host. The game
had not gone the first half before the
pugilist was being carried off to the
side lines by his friends. He was g
sorry looking specimen, and SO sore
about the body that he did not leave
his room for a few days. That guy
never tried the college sport again.
II remember some years ago when
the Detroit A. c. brought team here
to play against the c.. A. c., they
brought fighter named MCGEE with
them. 1t was to be his job to put
Sport Donnelly, the C. A. C. captain,
out of commission Donnel1y, who was
great football genius, and a fighter
as well, was put wise to Mr.. McGee's
Intentions, and he watched the d. A.
c. slugger closely. Along about the lat
ter part Of the first period there was
scrimmage near the grand stand,
and when the smoke cleared away
MCGEE remained PROSTATE on the sod
while Sport was in his position inno-
Gently chewing his finger nails.
Il guess the fighters were never
known to make success at football"
said Doctor XVI. They do not under.
stand the game in the first place, new
er having been trained to that sort of
thing. Football is colleGs game, and
it, requires different sort OF lcasring
altogether to develop players thar
what is given the pugilistic gentry.
Then, too, it requires different sort
of pluck to that shown in flstic engage
ments. Football is much more strenu-
Gus, and far more dangerous than
fighting in the ring. The gridiron hero
is more daring and reckless than his
pugilist brother, and the football man
is obliged to train much harder, and
to suffer more hardships. He needs
more moral courage than the fighter"

Word "chore" Not Sianq.

The word "chore,' generally used
in the plural, is not slang, but an Eng,
lish word of highly respectable line
age. In this form it is found only in
America, in England the spelling and
pronunciation being char" though
this is rarely used except in combina
ton with char-woman.
But in some of the provincial dialects
that of Cornwall, for example, the
word chores" is used precisely as we
use chores" All these forms come
down to us from the Anglo-Saxon
word "cerr," or 'cerran," to, trrr

STORING CLOTHING.

Plans for the new Easter outiit
bring to mind that in the storerOoni
there are garments packed away al
the beginning OF winter which might
be brought out and pressed into ser' :
ice for the early spring days.
And glance at these lighter
clothes suddenly makes the heavier
garments necessary for the cold
weather is distasteful and We begin
TO think that it must be time to store
these away.
And the spring housekeeping time
offers an excellent opportunity TO 90
this.
The ulster and heavy tweed suit
which rendered such excellent serV-
ice during the cold weather should
be carefully cleaned and all the
seams brushed.
Any spots which appear should be
rubbed with benzine and all pockets
turned out and brushed. When one
i satisfied that all the dust and soil
has been routed. each garment
should be carefully folded and little
bags containing camphor balls or
flakes laid between the folds.
Each piece of wearing apparel
should then be carefully wrapped In
newspaper and packed away in
boxes.
Oftentimes the business girl has
heavy stuffs which are very suitable
for winter, but which seem out OF
place during the warmer weather.
and these should be washed CAREFUL
ly and packed away in bags without
having been starched or ironed.
1t is a good idea to have little la
bells pasted on each box or bundle,
telling just what the contents are,
and then, If a heavier coat or waist is
needed. the finding of it will be rem
dered much easier.
