lines of the blade were fine: indeed, 1t
look ed a. II 1t could do all the work tt
self. Mr.. Ames offered Alec IS for it.
AYE, mon," replied Alec, money
couldn't buy yon club from me-"
But Alec was Scotch and he finally
sold the club for $2s-
Mr.. Ames came back to Chicago and
tried the mashie in q game with Mr..
Sellers. He played 1t extremely well
and 1 think that he obtained a shade
of advantage over Mr.. Sellers, than
whom no better long-iron player ever
lived.
Sellers then hid the club, but Ames
and the duel of skill went
merrily on. During that period I had
handled that club thousands Of times
and 1 had not been at all slow in ex-
pressing my admiration for 1t. One
night I summoned up sufficient cour-
age to ask Mr.. Ames to lend 1t to me
for caddies' tournament. Mr.. Ames
suffered for his kindness by having 60
listen to a minute description OF ev-
cry mashfe shot made during the
event.
After a time Ames' skill with the
mashie declined, owing to a new ex-
perimental grip. and he began to lose
confidence, in the club-and a shaft had
to be substituted.
One day he lost an important match
to Sellers on the last hole because he
stubbed his shot.
Il never want to see that club
again! You take 1t. Chick" he said.
1 had tried that club a good many
times before. sometimes openly, some
times surreptitiously. but now that it
was my own 1 did not go home to din
ner. but played into the night. AS 1t
grew darker and darker, my shots
grew shorter and shorter. I remember
/ lost ball, but did not stop to look
for it. Finally is became completely
dark and all my shots were stymie
shots with the little white balls. 1
could not sleep that night for happi-
ness; before my eyes were visions of
undreamed skill.

C[ABBY'S BOXING
DEFEATS BROWN
Chicago Greek Decisive1y Outpointed
in 10 Round Bout i'm milwaukee.
Big Crowd Saw Fight.

Milwaukee, Wis, Feb 4-Clever and
scientific boxing gave Jimmy Clabby
of Hammond a clear cut victory over
George ("Knockout'') Brown of Chi
cago in a ten-round bout last night be-
fore the Milwaukee A. c.
AS predicted. the Greek never had a
chance against the clever Hoosier.
Browns only hope for victory was to
land a decisive right or left swing.
This he failed to do, but Brown must
be given credit for putting up a game
and stubborn fight against one of the
cleverest boxers in the middleweight
division. Clabby's ring generalship
and clever footwork enabled him to
keep out of range of Browns wild and
vicious swings. which the Greek un-
loosed in every round.
The only damage done in the entire
fight was when Brown planted right
cross on Clabby's left eye which caused
it to swell shut in the following ses-
sion. Although Brown was the receiv-
er general for most of Clabbys we'll
aimed and timely punches, the Greek
bore no marks of battle as he left the
ring
1t was an unintresting fight to
watch. There was too much bulling
and wrestling. with infghting. which
the average spectator does not care to
see. Brown was accused of holding re-
peatedly and the Kisses which this sort
of work drew from the spectators was
due to the fact that the spectators did
not understand his style of fighting.
1t is true the Greek covered up con-
tinually and would not box at long
range. In all his battles. Brown bores
in from bell to bell and depends on
body punches to SO weaken an oppo-
nent that he can land one of his wild
lawmakers.
Clabby. on the other hand, gave a
great exhibition of the manly art. He
showed more speed and cfeverness than
in his battle with Brown a year ago
ana his punches were better timed and

RULES
TOO STRINGENT

Stockholm, Feb. 4-The case of Jim
Thorpe, the American Indian collegfan,
who was crowned by King Gustav here
last summer as "the worlds greatest
athlete" continues to cause consider
able stir in Swedish athletic circles.
Many prominent athletes here de-
clare the rules of amateurship are too
severe ever to be adhered to strictly,
an dthey suggest that NV and less
stringent rules be instituted. 1t Is de-
clared that many exceptions are made
to the present rules giving reimburse
ment to true amateurs in the form of
pay for salaries lost during training
This practice of making exceptions,
particularly in the case of athletes
who are poor, has made &c difficult to
tell where to draw the line.

Clabby showed that he Is full
fedged middleweight by easily making
1873 pounds three and a half hours be-
fore the fight. He was In great shape
and was as strong at the finish as in
the middle OF the bout.
Brown was first to enter the ring.
crawling through the ropes at 9:55
o'clock. His manager. Nate Lewis, act
ed as his chief second and adviser. The
Greeks other attendants were Joe
Thomas. Pete Caras and Rudy Unhoiz
Clabby followed shortly after and was
helped into the ring by his opponent
Clabbys manager, Frank Mulkern, the
fighters brother, Eddie Clabby, and
Ted Jessup acted as his seconds. After
posing for pictures the fighters adjust
ed their bandages and gloves and were
called to the center of the ring for in
structions from Referee Harry Stout.
The first two rounds were tame and
uninteresting. Each boxer worked
carefully and did not take any chances.
The Hammond boy opened up in the
third period and won the round by
forcing the fighting and landing clean
err punches.
In the fourth round Brown, after
missing a vicious T1Sht S"AnS, leAi
partly through the ropes, and Clabby
helped him to his feet. Clabby had the
best of the round, also the fifth and
sixth.
Brown showed to his best form in
| the seventh round, when he held Clab-
| by even. Brown landed the right punch
to Clabby's eye which caused the or
gan to close In the next session
/ In the remaining rounds Brown, real

who are I'll.
Swat or otherwise destroy every fly that
gains entrance into the house. a good
fly poison may be made by using half
pint Of milk. half pint of water, two tea
spoonfuls formaldehyde and two tea
spoonfuls of sugar. Small squares of
bread saturated with this mixture should
be placed in shallow dishes throughout
the house and on the back porch. Keep
out of reach OF children and animals.
Sticky fly papers can be used to advan-
tage. To clear the rooms of flies use
