NEW CANOES APPEAR
ON MORTON LAKE
Owners Prepare to Compete
for Silver Cup Offered by
Palladium in Opening Day
Races.

The canoe races planned for open
ing day, Thursday, June II, on Nor
ton lake, are likely to prove worth
while to entrants. This is the only
sport planned 80 far in which any
business houses have spoken of Civ
ready announced it's intention of Civ
inG q silver cup to tEt winner of the
races. The races planned are:
Palladium Race-The distance of
this race will be changed as the length
of the lake is believed too long a run.
The race will be open.
Singlea, Short Dash and a Longer
Race-One man to a canoe will be al
lowed in these races. The prize has
not been announced, but probably will
be cup offered in one of them.
Doubles, Short and Long-One man
padding in the rear seat and one in
front constitute a team in doubles.
Suitable prizes will be offered by the
Lake and Park company or by mer-
chants.
Stage Dumping Contest.
In addition to the foregoing races,
freak race or two will be staged, and
possibly a contest between two canoes
to bump each other over in the water.
This is one of the most interesting
form of freak canoe contests. Expert
paddles are required, and the men
who stand in the middle of the canoes
carrying long poles padded on the end,
must be nimble on their feet and able
to balance themselves. The object of
the contest is for one of the battlers
to knock the other into the water, and
a much more decisive victory is scor-
ed when an adversary is able TO turn
the canoe over.
New canoes are appearing on the
lake every day or so, and there is no
doubt by that canoeing will be the
most popular sport on Morton lake
during the summer. Because of the
nature of the lake, canoes are the
most practical craft.
The new bathing beach at the east
end of the lake will be open for bust
ness for the first time next Sunday
Hawkins pond, which is run by Chas.
Parker in connection with the lake
beach, has been open two Sunday, and
fair sized crowds have been in each
day. and also a few days during the
week

after long string of defeats, jumped

Porter, serving for the Pilot crew,
was dead easy for the stickers of Nat

came in for his share of the spoils,
and when the totals in the hit column
were added it was found that Porter's
slants had been biffed for safeties

Lynn, on the other hand. was eff

LAW INDUCES jim
TO PROMOTE BOUTS
By FRANK g. MENkE,

NEW YORK. May 21-"Sunny Jim"
Coffroth, of San Francisco. who is
making more money in promoting
fights than any other man in the coun-
try, says the secret of success in the
the fight promotion business is to
give the public square deal"
And out on the coast that's exactly
what Coffroth gives fans. He doesn't
boost his "bleacher" prices for the
star bouts and thus freeze out the
fellows who can afford only 81 or 80.
Those prices always remain the same,
no matter what the attraction.
The 81 and 81 boys are the ones
that help me make ends meet when
I'm staging just an ordinary bout"
says Coffroth. Those boys are my
friends and you can bet on it that
have made an ironclad rule never to
increase the price of their seats.
Whether it's just an ordinary scrap
or one in which the championship is
at stake the prices are the same"
Coffroth, although always a fight
fan, never gave the promoting end of
the game thought until back in
1900. Just about that time the Hor-
ton fight law was repealed in New
York state and Jim Kennedy, a New
York fight promoter, landed in Frisco
looking around for site for an arena.
He sought out Coffroth, who then
was secretary Of thesupreme court
in that city.
"'The game ought to make money
out here if ! can get permit" said
Kennedy.
"I'll get the permit if you'll take me
into partnership with YOU" said Cot
froth.
you're on" answered Kennedy
And Coffroth has been ION" ever
since

The Mexican war movie" had moth

that were displayed at Athletic park
last night, when the A. S. Nj. company
team led by George Hodge, of basket
ball and bowling fame, managed TO
annex an 1916 victory over Carl Cut
ters crew of bankers.
The game, or farce rather, was a
five act affair in which every minute
was full of action, tragedy and com
edy fragrant charges of high finance
and graft were made by the money
men to such an extent that the
Jumps who was by the way an en-
ploye of the Hoosier company, had
been land this on reliable authority
paid a big sum as a ransom to throw
the game in favor of the book-keepers.
Among other things, the bankers
also charge that George Hodge alter
ed the rules of the game to suit the
Conditions and circumstances sur
rounding the work of his team. Such
things as calling a man out for the
little thing of throwing clots of dirt
at the jumps: sending man to the
bench for hitting the ball too hard ::

strikes called in succession and saying
things about the form displayed by
Bus Weyman. the hero of the Seed
ers force. are laid at the door of
Hodge.
Use Too Many Pitchers.
And then too. the bankers charge
that the Seeders used unfair tactics
in using three pitchers during the
game. The Bankers used one pitcher
throughout while the BOok-keepers
used four separate and distinct men to
serve EN- up. anyway this is the
assertion of members of the Second
Notional force that participated in the
afafir. According to the leading Off
GERS Of the banking team the result
WAS anything but satisfactory and they
will attempt to sign the Seeders for
a return game said game to be played
fair. so they claim
The SeederS version Of the story is
quite different. The American pen
pushers hold that the victory was won
fair and square by superior headwork,
consistent work in the field and a
superior knowledge of the inside work
ings of the national game. The team
stands ready to let the case go before
an arbitration board and if necessary
will meet the bankers again at any
place and at any time, SO they say.

SHEPHERD RESIGNS
Rheumatism Drives James Conway
to a Modern Apartment.

Rheumatism Drives James Conway
to a Modern Apartment.
New York.-James Conway is pack
ing up his belongings accumulated dur
ing fifty-four years service as shep!
his successor his quarters in the sheep
fold-house near West Sixty-fifth street.
From a sheepfold and park building
with rambling additions to little fiat
will be decided change for Conway
and he is filled with concern about
how the members of his immediate
family, daughter, her husband and
granddaughter of 5, will manage to
adapt themselves to modern city
abode.
Conway says he never could have
lived to be 70 if his life had not been
spent almost entirely out of doors, He
thinks that is the only way to keep
strong and healthy. And if it had not
been for the weather could have last
ed longer" he said, rubbing with
gentle hand the rheumatic knees,
which have at last forced him to re-
sign as head shepherd.
An outdoor life is the only kind to
live" he repeated, "and it was a nice
place to be in," and he gaZed wistfully
over the tops of the trees across the
west drive.
In the many years the shepherd had
devoted to tending the park flock, ever
since the Washington Market butcher
presented few sheep to the flock,
Conway has seen many changes. Those
park trees were mere saplings when he
first let the sheep Craze under their
thin shade, and the drives were not
the wide and well-kept ones now
thronged with automobiles.
Central Park was like a country es-
tate in the early years of Conway's
services to the city. 1t was place for
young men and young women to drive
on Sundays and holidays and children
played there with their hoops and
balls.
"I knew them all then" he remarked.
"Now they have grown up and have
children of their own. Some of them
were not so wealthy, either, as they are
now. But time brings many changes.
And not the least of all is the change
in New York's climate. 1t isn't the
same any more" he said, shaking his
head sadly.
