Beder. the crack second baseman on
last years team at Tech High, reported
for practice for the first time this year
yesterday. His presence was an lncen-
tive for hard work. The boys got down
to business with a rush.
Capn Jim Parks. Of the Tech High
baseball team says he can see no reason
why his bunch should not romp away
with the prep league pennant this year.
Parks thinks that Tech High has. with
out doubt, the strongest pitching star
and the best outfeld of any team IN the
Prep league.
There are four pitchers on the staff
and two Of them. Parks and Western,
and Thomas, are fast and good batters.
The team al Tech High will play as
many practice games as possible next
week. as the captain wants his men to
be- right when the season opens. Games

East Point and the Tech scrubs.

winners OF each event ranging in value
from first TO third place. These prizes

for.
The Tech High had better get busy If
they hope to win this meet There is not
as much interest shown toward track
events as there should be. while, on the
other hand. Boys High is very enthusiast

NEW YORK. March l5.-Gun-
~ boat Smith, the California
heavyweight, today issued a
challenge to Luther McCarty for a
bout to decide the heavyweight
championship of the world. The
challenge followed Smiths easy
victory over Bombardier Wells in
two rounds at New York last night.
The American proved. without a
doubt, that he is a real contender
for the heavyweight title, and it is
now up to McCarty either to give
him a chance or to dodge the
issue. His fighting last night was
the best seen here in years.
Wells started out like cham
pion in the first round. His clev-
erness seemed TO bewilder Smith.

by a left and right to the wind,

tempts to land. The round ended
all in favor of Wells.

Wells staggered to his feet. but
was hardly able to raise his hands.
Smith crossed his right full to the
jaw. sending Wells down and out.

nON'T forget to touch a runner
that IS running right by you

neatly TO one side by a foot or so

BUSINESS WOMEN AS WIVES

telligence to master the art of stenOg-
raphy, to hold down a good job as a
clerk or bookkeeper, isn't going to let
a little thing like a kitchen range
knock her out
She will get busy with the cook
book, and before you know it she will
make the girl who has learned to do
things the way that mother did them
seem like quick lunch joint compar-
ed to Delmonico's.
ADVANTAGES.
Any woman who can read can learn
months, if she wants to, and if she
doesn't want to, the mere fact of hex
turning out things en- casserole make
the hit or miss cooking of the a la
maitre dhotel that will guarantee that
she is domestic. Mother makes the an
gel cake in many a home where the
daughters sit in the parlor and do fan
cy work.
In marrying business girl there
are many compromising advantages
that make up for her not being a good
free hand cook to begin with. The first
of these is, of course, that the woman
who has earned money is invariably
better manager with it and more
careful than the one who has not.

left hands are cIasped at waist height
and held with unbent arms straight
out ahead of the couple whose heads
are turned forward and whose bodies
are ready for forward motion in the
direction of the outheld arms; the
mans right arm is az the girls waist,
and her left arm crosses his right as is
shown in the first picture. Now let me
add little secret that makes for grace

Tango or any other Tango-the girl
must lean SLIGHTLY hack and away from
