HORNE BEGAN
ON MILK VAN

Worlds champion athletes usually
have no difficulty in recalling, when,
where and how they got their start.
The trouble is, that as rule, the
king pin got a commonplace start.
There was nothing unusual about the
way he began his climb up the ladder
of fame, and an attempt to tell about
it would be uninteresting
However, the case of George F.
HORNE, the worlds champion high
jumper, is an exception to the rule.
His career as jumper started when
he got job driving a milk wagon.
Jumping on and off the wagon in the
early hours, while he was attending
High School at Santa Ana, first made
those muscles CULVER that are now
boosting him up close to #.
HORNE is a memer of the 1913
class at Stanford University He ives
at Palo Alto. His family moved
there from Santa Ana several years
ago. George started in High School
at Santa Ana. On the side, he got a
job driving a milk wagon. Every
morning he was up before daybreak,
doing the work. Schoolmates say
he developed great skill in jumping
off and on the wagon with a milk
can in each hand, while the horses
were travelling at about the best pace
those milk wagon horses could hit.
| This sort of work made George so
agile and "springy" that when he
saw the boys at the High School high
jumping he thought he might be able
to do something along that line him
self But he didn't have much time
to train and he didn't do much in ath-
letics at High School But he kept on
the milk wagon and unconsciously
was preparing himself for his great
performances of the present time.
HORNE is only 81 years of age. He
stands TT. II in and weighs about
14S pounds, stripped. He is long and
slender and the muscles in his legs
stand out like steel cords.

A COMING FANETTE.
The Mournful Ballad Of Girl and

The Mournful Ballad of a Girl and a
Baseball Game.
why is a baseball a baseball? And
why did they make it round?
And why did they coat it with leath-
er? And why does it bounce and
bound?
What did it do to the batter that he
swings with all his might,
And tries to put that baseball far
away and out of sight?
Why is pitcher a twirler? And
why does he stand on a mound?
What makes him want to go up in
the air? Why doesn't he stay on
the ground?
Why is a fielder a fielder? And why
does he so out so far?
Why doesn't he play in closer? He
should use motor car.
Why is a shortstop a sho tstop? Is
a 'Iong-stop" just as good?
Why is the plate made of rubber? And
why is bat made of wood?
And | wonder why is a first base
man? Oh, he's first to bat | sup
pose.
And why did they throw that bottle
and break the umpire's nose?
Now why does that ugly catcher act
so terribly tough and mad?
Oh, look! the balls gone over the
fence. Why isn't the pitcher
glad?
and why did that man yell Rotten! ~
and then say Get the hook?"
Now why do they start to argue?
They called the umpire a crook.
What is a Sub "a subject, or a
submarine diving boat?
Why is fan rooter? Where does
he keep his goat?
Why is the ground called diamond
Why not ruby or pearl?
What is the score now, Tommy? Is
that the shortstops girl?
Why don't they have him arrested
He stole a base, you say,
Why are they yelling siam 'er out?"
why are the ball suits gray?
Where has the foul ball gone, dear?
Why don't they use that too?
Why does the batter spit on MS
hands? Why doesn't he use
some glue?
Why is a bunt a bunt, Tom? Whl
made the sacrifice?
He's certainly a gentleman, and
think he's very nice.
Why don't they bleach The bleachers
and bring the outfeld in?
Why aren't the visitors sociable ana

There is fight talk on every side
now, and there is fight money, too,
heard jingling.
The fans are making Cordell the
favorite over Mccarthy but to those
who follow the puglistic game close
ly it, appears that the two men, tax
ing everything into consideration, are
very evenly matched
When Mccarthy and Cordell step
through the ropes at the Athlete
Park on Saturday afternoon it will be
a case of a young, strong improving
man going up against a boxer who,
a few years ago was all to the good
but who, since then has not done
much. And these prolonged lay-offs
in the fistic game are all to the bad
for the member Of the profesh who
INDUCES in them.
There is Ione thing which both Nc
Carthy and Cordell possess in com
mon and that is plenty of grit and
each well knows the worthiness of
his prospective foe and is taking no
chances in the matter of physical fit
ness.
Cordell has to make 1856 pounds two
hours before the fight and if ever
conditions presented themselves
which promised a good fight the con.
ditions of the battle next Saturday
afternoon certainly do.
Fights and Fights.
There are fights and fights There
is the fight that is one-sided and
where one man takes a licking for ten
or twelve rounds and then goes to
sleep for ten seconds, and there are
fights like that which are good ones
too, for the weaker man by game
ness puts up a good big fight against
superior odds.
There are times when one man mas

Honolulu has seen such fights.
There are also times when one fell
low is a scientific boxer and the 9TH
er a roughhouse man; such fights
have also been seen here. And they
have been good fights, too.
The game on Saturday afternoon
should not be anything like the events
just mentioned. It is safe to say
that it. will not be.
Men Well Matched.
When it comes to the fighting bust
ness Mccarthy and Cordell, allowing
for handicap conditions of weight and
age, should be just about as evenly
matched as any two scrappers could
be.
Cordel may appear with a few more
fancy tlourishes but Mccarthy will be

is that the Irishman will be dangerous
