u NE beer a day is the allowance
made by Manager Johnny
Evers to his players who are
training at Tampa, Fla. One beer
day to some players is like one
peanut a day to a peanuteater
With the general run of men, If he
tries one peanut he can not stop
until the whole bag is gone. So
with beer and some ball players.
But to hold the allowance down to
one beer is something that will be
found hard to accomplish. Looks
like a foolish rule on the face Of it.
What is one beer? Either the
players should be allowed to drink
as many beers as they desire Gin
moderation) or they should cut it
out altogether.
I Asst season McGraw won the
i flag with the Giants because he
got flying start. While his team
finished staggering, the players had
enough left to pass under the wire
first. viii he repeat? Last year
h. was one of the early birds at
training quarters. He worked his
players hard. They were in fine
shape when the season opened, but
did not the strenuous work in
training camp tell on them toward
the end Of the season?
This year the Giants are again
the first to start spring practice.
They have been at Marlin Springs
several days, and they have a big
start on all the other National
league clubs except the Chicago
cubs. If, next fall the Giants
fa,ter again, it will be pretty good
proof that their training season is
too long. Three weeks of the right
Kind of work ought to be enough,
far as the physical end of base
ball training is concerned. More
than that tells on the players. They
grow tired of training camp. They
long for the season to open. They

HURST SUGGESTS FINES

NEW YORK Feb 25.--Tim Hurst. the
veteran boxing referee and baseball UNI

IF man persistenuy refuses to brea *

Of $25 would make him obey For the use
OF the kidney blow soak him $50 II he
hits on the break away take $50 more
But, of course. those fines world apply
only TO big bouts i'm which the principals
could afford to pay heavy penalties In
the smaller bouts fines Of s. aud $40
would be sufficient

pion.)

@ OMETIME last fall l Joined
y the noble army of journal
istic martyrs and selected
the best sixteen golfers in Amer
lea. now propose to give each
week, If possible, a little golf biog-
raphy Of these successful players
and begin the series with the man
who was second in the list and
probably deserved first place.
Warren X. Wood began his golf
life on the short course at Jack
son in 1899, when he was about
twelve years old. His golf equip
ment at that time was composed
Of one 95-cent cleek and Var
don flyer.
He played his first real golf,
however, at the Tuscumbia golf
course at Green Lake. Wis.
Mr.. Wood played his first tour
nament at Milwaukee in 1901. He
qualified second but was beaten
in the second round. During the
same year he broke the record Of
the Tuscumbia course and thus
won his first prize, q cup which oc-
cupies a prominent place among his
trophies. The following season he
went again to Tuscumbia and put
in the whole season practicing un-
Ter Joe DeMoss' careful study of
his game.
Mr.. DeMoss died a short while
ago and every golfer mourned him;
he was an exceptional player him
self
In 1902 Mr.. Wood won the inter
scholastic championship. In 1904
he was selected for membership on
the original Olympic team, and he
won the first fight cup at the
Olympic championship at ST. Louis
In the fall of 1904 he went to Law
renceville academy and played on
the LaWrenceville golf team.
In 1906 Mr.. Wood won the Unit
ed North and South championship
at Pinehurst and the Glen View
and Onwentsia open tournaments.
That same year he was runner-up
to ID. e. Sawyer in the Western
championship at St Louis, and he
was not beaten with the thirty
seventh hole He also played on
the Olympic team.
New Record at Jackson Park.
In the next year he played in the
National at the Euclid club, Cleve-
land, and was defeated by jerome
Travers on the last green. This
was rather an unusual defeat in
which the winner had higher
medal score than the loser; it was
73 10 70, In the same year Nh
Wood played i'm the Western open
at Hinsdale and obtained fourth
place, d great distinction for an
amateur That year he won again
the Glen View cup and made rec
ord OF SO on the short course at
Jackson Park. This probably is
the only score below 90 on record
for eighteen holes.
In the Western open at Nor
mandie at St Louis in 1908 Mr..
Wood finished fifth, making a new
amateur record for the course.
During this year he won the
championship of Pinehurst and the
annual spring tournament, leading
the qualifying fields in both events
He did not enter the United North
and South championship. This.
too, was the year In which he came
into final possession of the Colvln
cup at Green Lake, Wis; he also
won the Glen View open for the
third time, giving him permanent
possession Of the huge cup.

In 1909 Mr. Wood was medahst.
with final score of 146 in the

of the House in fierce debate was
presented to-day when Representa-
tive Serene E. Payne, of New York,
for thirty years a member of the
House, and Speaker Champ Clark,
twenty years a member of that body,
got into a controversy over the ques-
ton of a secret caucus. Payne at
tackled the Democrats for not per-
hitting any bills to be acted upon ex-
cept those approved in caucus.
Are you Democrats afraid of your
selves asked Payne.
Speaker Clark surrendered the
chair to Representative Moon of Ten
nessee and walking oyer to where Mr.
Payne sat. replied that the Democrats
of the House ara responsible to the
country for tariff and currency legis-
lation and amid applause of his COL
legues asserted the country approves
the Democratic stand.

ed before the conferees and argued
against the clarke amendment,
3. Senator Ellison D. Smith, Of
South Carolina, appeared before the
conferees and argued against the
Clarke amendment.
4. A member of the conferees in
timated afterward that he thought
the compromise amendment of SEN
ator Hoke Smith, of Georgia, would
be accepted and incorporated in the
bill.
5. Chairman Simmons, Of the Sen

livery with the further provision that
if the seller delivers to the buyer the
grade of cotton specified in the agree

established by the United states
Government, and provides further
that if the cotton delivered by the
seller is not of the grade specified in

to the buyer the difference between
the price of the cotton he delivers

Restraining Order Filled by Former
Husband in Battle Over
Child Ignored,

Mrs. Jacque Bradley Swift. against
whom notice of a temporary restrain
ing order was filed Tuesday by her
former husband Charles Thomas
Swift. known TO hundreds of friends
as Tom Is reported to be dying in a
private home in Atlanta.
Surrounded by few staunCh
friends, Mrs. Swift is said to he APP
preaching death as the result Of an
illness from which she has suffered
for many weeks. Her condition first
became dangerous several weeks ago
when she returned to Atlanta, after a
summer spent at Wrightsville Beach.
She weakened rapidly and all efforts
to stop the ravages of her illness have
been futile. DR. w f. Yankey who
has offices in the Empire Life Build
ing. is in attendance on Mrs. Swift.
Mrs. Swift is making no move to
fight the restraining order. While
the purport Of the order has been
carefully guarded by Swift's attor-
neys, it is supposed to involve the
custody of the 3-year-old Swift child
The child. though awarded to the
mother at the end of the divorce suit
is now in the possession of Swift
Friends OF Mrs Swift declare that the
dying woman expressed no interest in
this action of her former husband;
that she has rallied all of her fighting
strength toward but one thing-to
save her own life.
In striking contrast to the beautiful
and vivacious woman is the Mrs
Swift of to- day. Once a popular stage
favorite and a sparkling follower of
the White Way. she has been trans
formed into weakened and wasted
woman who lives but with one desire
that she may continue to live.
Swift is reported to be in Atlanta
now consulting with his attorneys on
the proceedings which he has insti-
tuted. He is the son of Mrs Lena
Swift Huntley, of Peachtree and Fiji
tenth streets, who is said to be
worth several million dollars.
