Heroic Rescues Common.

From all parts of Dayton come sto-
ries of heroic rescues. The stolid
volunteers pay no attention to them.
All of them for three days have con-
stantly offered their lives to save
others, Several Of these men have
given their lives on rescue work.
Their names are unknown. Watchers
on the banks saw them trying to
reach persons in floating houses, saw
their boats upset and the men go
down.
Late in the day large frame house
floated down the river. Four women
were in the windows. AS they neared
the Main street bridge they waved at
the crowd on the banks and the build
ing struck the pieces. There was a
swirl in the murky waters and a lit
tie farther down stream the debris
appeared, but none of the women.

would be along the right -of-way of the

tracks, where it was thought ii would be
unsafe for a runner to travel.
About twenty runners will be needed
to make the race, each man to cover five
miles except the last one, who viii have
about eleven to do, and viii be the one
to finish the race and carry the messag ge
which will be sent by Mayor Behrmann
to Mayor RouX, of Baton Rouge. This
was the rock on which the original
plans were wrecked, for II seems that
there was something of matter of jeal-
ousy between the contestants as to who

man decided that the go-as-you- please

1t is stated that handsome medal will

{ Western Amateur Golf Champion.

n HICAGO, Feb. 10.-My atten-
tiou has been called TO an
article which appeared in
Golting, under date of January 6,
concerning the report and balance
sheet OF the Mid Surrey Golf club.
London, The statements throw
suggestive light upon the financial
side of British golf. We learn that
the total income of the club was
D614 pounds, and the editor says,
and we should imagine that so
much money has never been re-
ceived by one golf club before in
the history of the game" There IS
another statement to the effect that
here IN London there is SO much
money spent at one golhng place as
would accommodate the golfng
sheets of a dozen quite good clubs
Of the North"
This remark appears to show
that quite good Scottish clubs
can be run on an income of about
$4,000 a year \ comparison of
these figures with those of known
American clubs makes an interest
ing bit of reading.

pays higher for golf than does
Great Britain. Cheapness of labor
and the kindness of nature partly
account for the difference. The
cost of labor in Great Britain is
low, the courses naturally good, and
the necessity for irrigation is less.
There is another fact. too, in that
the Briton cares more Tor solid
comfort and less for luxury than
the equally well-to-do American.
and in almost all American clubs
considerable money is spent in pro
viding for the ladies'.
70 sum UP the situation. club
houses in Great Britain are less
expensive and there are fewer
"frills.' When all is said the one
fact remains-that in golf the
course is the real thing and in this
respect nature treats the British
golfer unusually well.
There may be a lesson to Ameri-
cans in this comparison of ex-
penses Every golfer is willing to
pay for well kept grounds, and
American labor would not wish
to see it cheap-comes high, but it
is a question for the future to de-
eide whether luxurious club houses
really contribute to the advance
ment of an outdoor game

CHARLESTON, S. c., Feb. 10.-Billy
West, the boxing promoter of Savan-
nah, has closed down the Southern
Athletic club, of that city, temporarily.
and is in Charleston planning to open
the Nonpareil club He thinks that
Charleston offers a good field for high
class boxing shows, and if he succeeds
IN getting control of the Nonpareil
Athletic club, as he is now trying to do,
he will open the sport here this week.
probably on Wednesday or Friday
night. with good man matched
against Soldier Roth, several prelimi-
naries, and battle royal.
Billy West is from New York, and
he has made good in Chattanooga and
Savannah at reviving the boxing game,
for he has a reputation for straight
matches, something that the Nonpareil
club management here always insisted
upon, with M S. Sullivan at the head
OF the organization.
Manager West holds Knockout
Brown, of New York, under contract to
fight under his auspices and if the
Charleston enterprise succeeds, Brown
will come to Charleston.
