THE TANGO BUG.


The tango bug has hit the town,
And hit it hard, is right.
And everything is Tango now,
At morning, noon or night.
Unless you're strictly tango,
Then you're sadly out of date.
The thrilling, killing, tango bug,
The greatest of the great.
Mother wears a tango coat,
That fits her like sack.
And father sports tango vest,
That buttons on the back.
Sisters tango outfit is
Stunning sight to see.
And brothers tango trouser-legs,
Are split below the knee.
To start the day correctly,
Comes a tango bath at first.
A nip of tango toddy, just to
Quench a tango thirst.
And then tango breakfast,
OF some tango buckwheat cakes,
Some tango rolls and mullins,
And some tango toasted fakes.
we motor 10 the ONCE
In a tango limousine,
And call our pet stenographer,
Our little tango queen.
The tango office boy cuts in,
And hears a lot too much,
And strings us for a dollar,
Which he calls tango touch.
IN hn
If there's tango on the bill,
And hear a tango orchestra,
And tango vaudeville.
The chorus is a thriller,
With its tango suffragettes,
Arrayed in tango atmosphere,
And tango cigarettes.
We meet a little tango girl,
With tango yellow hair,
A tango supper follows
From a tango bill of fare.
A tango waiter tangos in
And serves us with a load
OF tango soup and tango chop,
And tango a la mode.
We sip our tango coffee,
AS we risk a feeting glance,
To see the tango dancers,
In the giddy tango dance.
The tango spell is on us,
In a way we can't resist.
The tango claret thrills US,
And we see as through a mist.
The tango tunes are soothing
AS the motion of a ship.
We feel ourselves a slipping.
And We murmur 'let 'er slip"
We ask the tango favor
OF our little tango girl,
And would tango on forever,
In the merry tango whirl.
We tango slowly homeward,
Rather Shy of tango cash.
Our tango footprints trail us,
Like the Curving calabash.
We tango into dreamland,
Where the world is upside down,
And our prayers are quite forgotte
Since the tango came to town.

body, probably, has noticed that before
a batter goes to the plate he picks up
two or three bats and swings them
around, the object being to get his
muscles accustomed to the weight so
that when he drops all but one, it
seems lighter and easier TO swing, That
is where Clarke's new stunt comes in.
He has ordered as pecial bat about

TOO MANY CHEESE
CHAMPIONS" NOWADAYS.
Willie Ritchie, Who Has Had Just One
2o-Round Battle Since He Won
Title Is Good Example.
JOHNNY KILBANE HAS ALSO
STALLED AROUND TOO LONG
Gunboat Smith Has Been Doing Con-
siderable Fighting, But 1t Is Hard
to See Him Champion.
BY HALsHERIDAN.
Written for the United Press.)

New York, Jan. 29.-Without violat-
ing any condolences or seeming to as.
sumo too much, it might be stated that
the opinion prevails that the business
of fighter is to fight. But as the
fighting must be done by the fighters,
and not by those having the opinions,
there is wide gulf between theory and
practice insofar as few young gentle
men now basking in the limelight as
champions are concerned.
Willie Richie has had everything
but croupe and whoOping cough since
he was matched to fight Harlem Tom
my Murphy. Finally the match was
called off entirely. He has had just
one 2O-round fight since he took the
title from Ad wolgast. That was with
Joe Rivers, and Richie won. He took
the measure of Leach Cross in ten
round bout in New York, but for the
most part Willie has been conspicuous,
SO far as the ring was concerned, by
his absence Some time ago something
was said about the existing crop of
"cheese champions. Every day the
odor gets worse Somebody will have
to invent a new kind of smelly cheese
so that creditable comparison can be
drawn. Johnny Kilbane has stalled
around so long that people have forgot
ten who the featherweight champion
is. He is apparently as careful about
his selection of matches as an old lady
picking out eggs under suspicion.
Gunboat Smith, who disposed Of Ar
thur Pelkey recently, has been doing
considerable fighting, but who ever

side of Smith or his manager, without
more or less of gigglei ,s,a
Poor old Tom Murphy has been chas'
ing the title of lightweight champion
for years. Ritchie could probably whip
him, but what with sprained ankles
and other little convenienees he is not
taking any chances. He probably fig
ures that Murphy is an uncertain prop
osition, especially in long fight, and
that if he licked the Harlem boy he
wouldn't get lot of credit, while at
the same time he would look extremely
foolish if Tommy slipped one over on
him. At all events Richie isn't break
ing his neck to get into fight, thus
digging out place for himself among
the recent champions who have devel
oped the vaudeville habit, and an aver
sion to donning the gloves for a reaI
encounter,
