CLARKE MAY GET BACK
IN HARNESS; IS TRAINING

PITTSBURG. June "a Reports arc
living thick and fast here that Fred
Clarke may return TO the Pirates out F
field. OF course the manager denies
the rumor but Clarke's presence in the
game undoubtedly would put more con-
ndence into the team.
Carey is the weak member in the
garden. and. according to the report.
Clarke is practicing in the mornings
with his team, trying to get back into
condition
When Clarke retired this spring he
said il was forever. However. there
are many here who believe that If his
presence would win the pennant for
the Pirates he would jump into the
game Immediately.

1t is true that he scaled In at some
thing like 200 pounds when he
boxed Jeffries, but remember,
please, that that was two years ago.
A man two years older would nat
uraly be this much heavier.
He weighed for me this morning
and the scales showed me 2I9 12;
that's simply great, and all he has
to take off during the next ten days

The feeling is here that the gov
ernor wishes again to consult his
legal advisers in Santa F'e, and, as
they all along have told him that
he is helpless in the matter and
can do nothing the prospects look
bright for the verdict to be favor
able. The governor met with many
old friends here and some of them

Augustan playing with the Rochester
team, may drop out of baseball next year

of the best pitchers the Athletics had
Baseball was different then, a pitcher
being allowed only to throw the ball
underhanded.
Mr., Ward says Joe has been wise and
saved his money, with the result that he
is ready to quit the national game and tC
played third base e' for the Hustiers last
year. and started al playing that position
the beginning of the present season, but
Spencer did not throw much, and a switch
was made, placing Ward at first AL
though he plays the initial sack well, he
looks more al home at the hot corner.

The Contest Editors mail is heavy
these days Among the host Of orders
for Answer Books, Proverb Books, and
back numbers of the Proverb Pictures,
there are scores of inquiries about points
in the rules of the contest that are not
clear in the mind of those who read them.
We are glad to extend every possible
help, but there are so many of these in
quiries that it is impossible to do more than
group them and answer number of them
at one time Watch the columns of The
Georgian each day, therefore, if you have
written us for more light on any point.
Even though you may not see your query
treated individually, you will surely find
the information you want. Today we take
up three questions that have been asked
by many during the past few days
O. What is the meaning of the word
Panhandler' used in the lettering that
accompanies picture Number 54G
A. Slang term for "Beggar
@. Is it necessary to have three Answer
Books if | desire to submit three sets of
answers?
A. The Answer Book provides a means
of sending in three sets of answers in one
book Three answer spaces are provided
on each page The contestant may use
one Of these spaces on each page for each
set of answers sent in
@. How will you prevent the throwing
together of all three sets Of answers In
making the awards if all three spaces in
the Answer Book is used?
A. Very easily The answer spaces are
numbered First Answer, Second An
swer." and 'Third Answer" are the head
ngs that appear over these spaces 1t
follows that the use of the First Answer
space under each picture completes the
first set of answers And the same is
true of the second and third answer
spaces. Bear in mind that not more than
one Of these answer spaces may be used
in any page unless the same number are
used in all Of the other pages.
Inquiries are beginning to come in re
garding the method of wrapping, tying
and sending in solutions. Some nervous
contestants are concerned lest there be
danger that their solutions may be lost
after they are received by us BE assured
that every care will be taken TO safeguard
these packages Ample provision has al
ready been made and we will do our part
to prevent loss or lack Of identification.
II is not too early. however, to warn con
testants that they must do their share
also no set Of solutions should be sent

from Jack Johnson in which
some reference is not made to
the terrible mauling that awaits
Jim Flynn at Las Vegas on July 4.
Now, one might think that hav-
ing so much the better of the pros
pect from the ordinary methods of
doping out pugiistic results. Jack
could afford to be both ehivalrous
and magnanimous and refrain from
the threatening language that ema-
mates from his training camp every
few days; From the fact that ne
continues to shake his horny FIST

self open to the suspicion that he is

about the July scrap as he pre-
tends to be.
One thing is certain. however.
If JACK is bent upon intinidating
Flying his efforts will fall fiat. for
Flying is a fellow whose courage is
undauntod. Pity it is that his
otheg lighting qualifications are
not qlEa par with his grit If they
were. he would permit some of us
to think more kindly of his
ehaaoes,
For veal or woe. Jim will surely
battle like tiger when -he goes
against the champion And even IL
he succeeds no better than he did
when he faced the big colored man
in san Francisco in November,
1907. he will command the respect
Of the spectators For tribute
of praise is never withheld from
the ring man who puts up brave
struggle in the face of the over
towering odds.
Flynn Ran Into Blows.
Just now the sports of the Pa
cifc coast are refreshing their
memories in connection with that
last eleven round bout between
Johnson and Flynn. They recall
that Flynn tried to fight close from
The first smash of the gong and
that even when tossed back by the
forco of Johnson's uppercuts he re-
turned to the charge again and
again He fought right into John
sons hands in fact All the big
negro had to do was to set himself
10 meet Flynn's rush. and the I'M
fortunate fireman kept hurting
himself on the spears.
Friends Of Flynn outside the
ropos-fool friends they surely were
kept urging the fireman to leap
at Johnson. and FLYNN did so I'M
Aiuchingiy. And for fear Flynn
might forget that he was being
urged to jump AT the cannon's
mouth, johnson, with sneerine
sarcasm, kept saving

that day and took ii like a Spar
tan He was bruised and bat
tered but full of fighting spirit
clear to the finish
Toward the end Of the tenth
