HOW FIRST FELT
HAT WAS MADE
John B. StetSon, to Entertain
and Convince Friends, Made
Novel Experiment.

Ebert Hubbard. in mis- Little Jour
ney to the Home of John B. Stetson. -
relates the following story which tells
how Mr. Stetson illustrated many years
ago the methods Of felting the fur.
which is the first process in the manu-
facture of either a stiff or soft felt hat
It Is the basis of hat making.
The thing that Stetson explained to
his friends was something they had
never heard Of. and at once it caused d
big argument. Things people have
never heard Of they usually denounce
as impossible. And while they are
saying that this thing can never, be
done. some fellow just goes ahead and
does it.
The question turned on getting cloth
for shelter tents. One man made the
fat, dogmatic statement that cloth was
made by weaving, and that it could not
be made in any other way. stetson
explained that there was another
scheme for making cloth. Stetson ex-
pounded TO them the science of felting.
Stetson took some Of the skins that
his friends collected. sharpened up his
Ratchet on a convenient stone and
shaved the fur off the skins.
Taking Fur From Skin.
He then cut bit Of a hickory sap
ling, sliced off a thong from one of the
skins and made a hunters bow. With
this bow he agitated the fur so as to
keep it in a regular little cloud in the
air
Stetson kept the fur in the air and
then it fell gently by It's own weight,
and was very naturally distributed over
a certain space As it fell. Stetson,
with a mouthful Of water after the
manner of John Chinaman, blew fine
pray Of moisture through the fur. Soon
here was a mat Of fur that could be
lifted up and rolled. 1t was like a thin
sheet Of wet paper.
There was camp fire near and a
pot OF boiling water and into this boil
Ing water Stetson dipped his sheet Of
matted fur.
1t began to shrink.
BY manipulating it with his hand and
rapidly dipping 1t in the hot water, he
soon had little blanket, woven soft
and even Of perfect cloth The argu-
ment that the thing could not be done
faded away into nothingness Nobody
said, 81 told you So"
Then He Made a Hat.
There was the actual thing-cloth
made by the felting process-one of the
oldest devices Of the human mind.
To'amuse his friends Stetson made a
hat out of the felt. 1t was big and pic
turesque, 1t protected the wearer from
the wind and rain, as we'll as from the
scorching sun. Besides all this. It at
tracted considerable attention. 1t made
the wearer the object OF envy. ridicule
or admiration, as the case may be.
This was the first genuine Stetson
hat made and sold.
That 1t would eventually lead I'D to
great industry no one guessed; but it
was the germ of an enterprise that was
to be world-w in it's influence.

Bob Fitzsimon's Boy is
 Future Pueilistic Hope

old Bob hasn't said much about his offspring but he hopes to see him wearing the crown as champion some day. Already he has commenced to teach the boy the art which made the name of FItzsimmons famous the world over
 And Rob Jr.." Is an adept. With every natural advantage, he has taken to boxing as naturally as a girl 10 bon bons and if his dad Is to be be. lieved. he can hit with terrific force and wonderful precision.
 With such mentor. young Fitz- simmons ought to enter the ring per feotly equipped to battle to the top, within the next four or five years. It is certain. that if he picks np the tricks that made his father famous. few heavyweig'nts of today will have any business exchanging compliments with him
 Father and son spend their time on' the farm. In. summer they till the soil. but the winter months are spent in training and boxing. And winter and summer the out-of-door life is giving Bob Jr.. a constitution like a grizzly bear.

You do not hear much about Bob FitzsimmoDs these days. but unless the signs are awry, it won't be long before the name of the old gladiator will again ring across the land.
 For Ruby Robert he of the freclles and terrible punch who low cred the colors the best until he bumped into young Jim Jeffries, has planned to regain the heavyweight worlds championship.
 No. folks, Fitz has no intention Of returning to the ring But the ex- middleweight and heavyweight cham pion has a broth of a boy on the farm al Dunnellan, N. J., who although but l6 is six feet in his bare feet and weighs l60 pounds. most of which is bone and muscle.

He has a bet ter physique than his sire boasted Of in his palmiest days and is built as symmetrically as an artists model. his weight being distributed evenly. instead of over shoulders and chest, as was the case with Fitzsimmons pere

Will Attempt to Demon strate Eye on Ball
 Unnecessary

LONDON. Feb. 27:-British golfers are agitated by the controversy as to the merits of the old dictum, keep your eye on the ball" The other day a well-knOwn player. Guy Livingstone, ventilated the doctrine that the stand and swing were the main things and that the man who stood and swung his club properly and accurately need not bother looking about for the ball.
 As the outcome of the contcoversey a professinal named TOogood is matched to play the amateur Tindall Atkinson at Sunningdale tomorrow. Toogold playing blindfolded
 MT Hilton, amateur champion of England and the United States. con- tributes an interesting letter on the subject to today's Daily Mail He says the enigmatic statement of Liv- instone that it is unnecessary to keep the eye on the ball is amazing to a great number Of players.
 Nevertheless, Livingstone may not be SO far from the truth as so many think. lt is probably that in many strokes the player has not 8. sight of the ball al the moment of impact. IIe says:
 T feel assured that when a strong forcing player is hitting his hardest he | ceases actually to focus the ball. At { some point in the downward swing he may still be looking al the ball, or rather have every intention of looking a. it, but the very energy of his effort will tend to disturb the focus.
 Personally, I am convinced that when driving from the tee never do actually see the ball during the latter part of the downward swing.
 ''ln fact, photography goes a long way to suggest that 1 very nearly close my eyes altogether at this point ot the swing, but 1 am peculiar in this respect, perhaps.
 With the. shorter class of shots l do think it is advisable to look at the ball as closely as possible, not that the actual continued focusing on the ball may be of any great service to the player, but it precludes the possi- bility of the head being jerked, and, moreover the eyes are great aid to concentration all the time.
 Saying keep your eye on the ball might be advisedly altered to Look at the ball As l look at it there is no absolute necessity of keeping your gaze closely rivetted to some spe- cific portion of the ball from begin ming to the end of the swing as, to my mind, such procedure is apt to re- strict the freedom of the swing.
 "Toogood playing blindfolded is taking a big contract in tackling Tindall Atkinson. It is a little bit difficult to imagine him emerging sue cessfully from the ordeal. had an idea he may find the mental strain of playing without the advantage of his eyesight a pretty severe one"

 Abe will return to San Francisco on Monday next, when he will be able 10 explain more at length his side of the case. The newspaper accounts from the south were unanimous in holding up the verdict as a proper one. but a talk such as Attell announc- ed immediately following the match stirs up suspicion in many a mind.
 The writer is open 10 conviction. but from long distance reports it would look as ii Abe had been a trifle too long in the game, and that a younger man and with all of the old time Attell speed wresteu his honors from him.
