In THE
CONVERSATION
LEAGUE

AL Wheeler jumped to the head
of the Conversation league while
attending the Potlatch. He put
Eddie Hickey entirely in the
shade by batting rings around
1000. and clinching the record
with a genuine home run.
"Mr. Swallowitall, meet Press-
dent Wheeler Of the Converse
tion league" was the way It
started and Mr.. SwallowitalI Iiv-
ed up to his name.
"Oh, yes, just dropped in on
my way home from La Dama."
said Wheeler, starting the terrific
batting sally. "Dugdale has been
having things pretty much his
own way over here and we decid-
ed that We would cut in here next
year. This town would support
our league in great style. In fact,
l don't know of a better place to
start a team. We have interest
ed three or four millionaires ana
have plenty of capital to put this
Northwestern league off the map.
You see"
Right here Mr.. Swallowitall de-
veloped a passion for batting.
Good for you. I'd like to see
Dugdale take a back seat. He
certainly has been dishing up
just what he wanted and not
what the public wanted. I'm sure
this town will give you great sup
port" said Mr.. Swallowitall.

pionship contest with Joe RIv-
ers after, Promoter McCarey con-
tends, his consent was virtually
given.
Wolgast said that he is positive
that he cannot get himself into
satisfactory shape before January
1 next. He realizes now, he de-
clared, more than ever before
that the recent surgical attack
on his appendix has bereft him OF
much of his strength. He In
sists that it is his right to wait
and to wait as long as he pIeases,
before he again risks his title.
"Tell Rivers" the champion
said, that / will box him again
within six or seven months. That
is the earliest. i always keep my
word. Rivers will have his chance
again, but first 1 must be my
SELF"
Joe Levy, Rivers manager, Is
out with statement in which he
questions Wolgast's courage and
accuses him of Crawling before
the Mexican"
Promoter McCarey has not en-
tirely abandoned his plans 70

In costly racing wind-jammers.
The New York Yacht club goes
along ignoring the motor-boat
and relying upon its annual
cruise from Long Island Soundsto
New England to maintain histor-
zeal prestige.
One of the best indications of
the healthful growth of yachting
is in the growing popularity OF
the cruising motor-boat, with
largely raised deck, the owners
being recruited alike from the
ranks of old time sailing men and
new corners.

the above declaration anent the recent
anti-tipping law passed by the general
assembly of Mississippi

rant, cafe, dining and sleeping car en-
ploye accepting tip Is liable to a fine
of from $50 to 800 and a term of i'm
prisonment in default of payment of
the fine.
When the bill was introduced it was
considered a joke, but as the state sen
ators and representatives considered

changed and it passed both houses
unanimously.
"The man who does not give tips is
quickly marked" said Mr. Ap Madoc.
