number of f1ve-men teams. two-men

make 1t possible for the bowlers to
shoot for approximately lee per cent
more prize money than ever before in
this section of the country. Not only
will every cent of the entries be
awarded in prizes. but more than a
hundred of the local merchants have
taken the tournament to heart and
offered to donate handsome prizes to
the cause.
From present indication ii looks as
IL the local entries will be exception

numbers Baltimore and Washington
will send down a big delegation to
take part. while Petersburg, which s

make efforts to take part in one or
more of the events If he cannot get

ever for him not taking part in the

ize the fact that every one has a
chance in contest of this kind, and
he should show his true loyal spirit
by coming to the front and sending

Rowsey at the Palace alleys.
There are only three more days

you should lose no time In sending in

A federal "ofSice OF prisons was

the national committee on prison
labor. at a recent meeting in WASH
ington of the woman's department
of the National Civic federation, at
which Mrs. Woodrow Wilson and
other prominent women were pres

The functions of this new bureau,
ais suggested by DR.. Within. would
be to assist State, county and mn-
ncipal administrators in the devel-
opment of their prison systems along
lines suggested by scientific develop
ment of the federal prison system.
In this work there would he coop
Grafton with the federal office of pub
lie roads in promoting the construc-
tnn of highways by convict labor.
The bureau would also point out the
possibilities for the convict in farm
work when conducted according TO
the methods approved, by the de-
partment nf agriculture, and would
show the opportunity for the use Of
convict labor in conservation ana
construction work as II Is being do
veloped by the department of the

FANS, HERE'S HOW
TOPICK THE BETTER MAN

In the West, where they have State
athletic commissions for the control
of boxing such as we have in New
York, they are interested quite as
much in the question of referees de-
cisions as are the fight bugs of the
metropolis. Since official verdicts are
not permissible. and as every specta-
tor Is his own referee of the merits
Of the boxers and must exercise his
own judgment in reaching a decision,
sport writer's In the West have gone
into the matter of what counts in
scoring points. This should serve as
a good guide.
boxing match Is decided on
points, or on knockout" The
latter Is an iron-clad method Of ahso-
lutely deciding battle. A knockout
in the millionth round utterly wipes
out l most commanding lead accu-
mulated by the other fellow in 999, 999
previous rounds. Now as to points.
First of all, In the matter of scoring
points comes the punches. A clean
punch counts strong and undeniable
point. Ii must be delivered on any
fair portion of an opponents anat-
omy. but blows to the jaw or heart or
stomach count moro heavily because
they are the ones liable to cause the
most damage. The scale of awarding
points for the different punches is II
sliding one and most elastic i'll all re-
spects.
A knockdowu from a punch would
naturally count more heavily than a
blow Just as clean that did not have
the power to lift the recipient off his
feet. Blood draws counts for notN~
ing A boxer may have a bleeding
nose, two cuts above the eyes. a torn
ear and slashed lip, from all of which
wounds q flow Of blood continually
spreads, and yet be able to even it
all up in five blows landed on his OPP
ponent without IA breaking of the lat
ter's skin. A blow to the stomach
evens the cut lips. another to the
heart evens the bloody nose, anothS
and the torn ear. Under these cir
to the jaw evens one cut eye, and two
to the short ribs the other cut eye
cumstances one boxer would be a
pitiful sight and the other without "a
mark possibly. yet the points would be
absolutely equal

points comes footworR Footwork is

.BABB QUITS BALL
TO OPEN GROCERY

MEMPHIS, TENN, Feb. Char
lie Bahb, known to ball fans as the
original boy manager" who man
aged the Norfolk Tars in the Virginia
league a few years ago, has virtually
announced his permanent retirement
from the diamond. Babb has en-
barked in the grocery business.
He has enjoyed q long and honor
able career on the diamond. He was
one of the most earnest players who
ever played baseball. His department
on the diamond was always above re-
proach, no matter whether his club
WAS winning or losing. He never gave
the umpires any trouble, and was con-
tinually instructing his players to
play the game and let the umpire
make his decisions without their re-
sorting to ridiculous pantomime. con-
tlnual grumbling or hectic abuse.
Babb had played ball sixteen years
before he was ever elected from a ball
game by an umpire al l the dictator
IN this case was entirely too hasty, az
Babb had done nothing to warrant

incensed at some of the players on

IA blow knocks a man down or out,
or makes him groggy. or breaks a
bone. 1t must be simply claSsed as one
of a wide and general range OF
punches 1t. is almost impossible for
a sport writer, or any one, for that
matter, to judge as to the power OF
a blow. Therefore. 1t is manifestly
unfair to give a boxer much greater
credit for, say three punches that
seem" hard and let them rise SUI
perior as point-getters to another three
blows struck by the other man which

of a massive swing. a grunt, a visible
fiexing of mighty muscles On the
other hand. some of the most vicious
hitters are able to land their most
effective punches with little bother
and grimace and nastodonic swings.
A punch is a punch, six Of one a half
dozen Of the other.
Then comes the much abused term,
'aggressiveness," Far too many box
ing writers favor this away above what
they should. Aggressiveness should
only count as point winner when

twenty-five clean punches: If in block

power. This method has often been
overlooked in deciding bouts, and yet
1T is admittedly correct. n-jawed
youths with thick, heavily muscled
necks have been pitted against boxers
with no great punch but an abundance |
of cieverness. The bull-neck contin-
ually forced the fighting. He plodded
