all sides, but more eager to know the

Carl Thompson May
Be Signed by Smith

Carl Thompson, former University
Of Georgia star, may be signed by
Manager Billy Smith to take the place
OF one Of his waveEing hurlers-
probably Paul Musser. It win depend
on what terms can be agreed upon.
Thompson has had a bad season
with Birmingham and was finally
turned back by Molesworth on the
New York Americans. They wanted
to send him to the New England
League, but he preferred to pitch in
the South. If Smith can make a deal
with him he will probably give him a

We used to sit on the bench and file

spikes when l heard a guy on the

Who will get the next chance at VIII

that is worrying boxing fans these days.
Freddie Welsh, Leach Cross, Tommy
Murphy and Jack Britton are all clam

Al the present time It looks very much
as if Cross will beat his rivals to the
big bout. Cross recent victory over
Anderson has made him big card on
the coast. The dentists great punching
power should give him a great chance
to cop the championship from Richie.

who won the national A A. L. title
at the Chicago carnival on Saturday

On his native heath, Kelly has
eoualed the worlds record of 10 sec

this feat for young man of p is
unprecedented in the history of ath-
letics. What Kelly will do to the rec

be imagined.

The citizens of Los Angeles con-
tributed the money to take Kelly on
the Olympic team, and their gener-

since, and Kelly by his great per-
formances, has shown that his admir-
ers made no mistake.

The Mills of the Gods.

The expression the mills of the
gods'' has been used in various forms.
According to "Bartlett's Quotations, .
the first form of the. saying is from
George Herbert's "Jacula Pendentum'
and is as follows: Gods mill grinds
slow, but sure"
In F. Won Logau's "RetributiOn,"
translated by Longfellow. the senti-
ment appears as follows:
Though the mills of God grind slowly, yet
they grind exceeding small.
Though with patience he stands waiting.
with exactness grinds he all.
This quotation will be found among
Poetic Aphorisms,' by Longfellow,
translated by him from the "Sinnge-
dichte'' of Friedrich Won Logan. The
first line of Won Logau's is said to
have been taken from the Greek
"Oracula Sibyllina," Will, IA, 1.-THE
