IN THE RING

Chicago, Feb. 16.-"Punchless jim
my Clabby," they are calling him on
the coast. 1t seems that the Ham
mond flash, though winning by a
bucketful of points over Petroskey,
did not make as favorable an impress
sion with the critical Los Angeles fans
as he did with those of San Fran
cisco. They like the man with the wal
lop in southern California and they
are convinced that Clabby is minus
that asset Reports of the controversy
say that James set himself time and
time again and shot his right square
ly to the chin point without making
the sailor back up. It's too bad. A
Clabby with punch would be ring
marvel. They give James credit for
being an Attell for cleverness, but
thew ask more than skill in the West
We would advise T. McCarey to
send for George Chip of Scranton
Pa, if he desires middleweight wha
can! clout them to sleep. When the
Lithuan hits a foe cleanly said foe
sits down and blinks.
Clabby and Chip would make fine
match over route, because, while
James may not be able to punch, he's
mighty hard man to whip, just the
same.

A Musical Instrument.

A MUSICAL Instrument.
What was he doing, the great god
Pan,
Down in the reeds by the river?
Spreading ruin and scattering ban,
Splashing and padding with hoofs
of a goat,
And breaking the golden lilies afioat
With the dragonfy on the river.
He tore out a reed, the great god
Pan,
From the deep, cool bed of the
river;
The limped water turbidly ran,
And the broken lilies a-dying lay,
And the dragonfly had fled away,
Ere he brought it out of the river.
High on the shore sat the great god
Pan,
While turpidly fow'd the river;
And hack'd and hew'd as great god
With his hard, bleak steel at the pa
tient reed,
Till there was not a sign of the reed
indeed
To prove it fresh from the river.
He cut it short, did the great god
Pan
(How tall it stood in the riverD
The drew the pith, like the heart OF
a man,
Steadily from the outside ring,
And notch'd the poor, dry, empty
thing
In holes, as he sat by the river.
'This is the way" laugh'd the great
god Pan,
Uaugh'd while he sat by the river)
"The only way, since the gods be-
To make sweet music, they could sue
ceed." ~
Then dropping his mouth to a hole
in the reed,
ne OleW III power ny tiie iiFSA'
Sweet, sweet, sweet, o Pan!
Piercing sweet by the river!
Binding sweet, O great god Pan!
The sun on the hill forgot to die
And the lilies revived and the dragon"
fly
Came back to dream on the river
Yet half beast is the great god
Pan,
To laugh as he sits by the river,
Making poet out of man;
The true gods sigh for the cots ane
pain
For the reed which grows never more
again
AS a reed with the reeds Of the
river.

Reform Work.

London, Feb. 16.-Prebendary Car
Isle, head of the Church Army, was
received by the king 1T Buckingham
palace. The king said afterward:
81 feel the greatest sympathy for
those who have made a slip IN life
and now, without means or charac-

good citizenship"
At the gates of the palace Mr.. Car
Isle met an ex-convict who had beer
reclaimed by the Church Army.
Mr.. Carlisle led this man back to
the king. The king on seeing the man
remarked that he remembered that
this was the man who had obtained

King Edwards coronation and who
expressed regret that his late ma
jesty was not crowned every day.

Gibbons seems to th;nk that he IS
as much of a drawing card as Me-
Farland and he is now insisting on
$4,000 guarantee. It is the two
fold insistence that keeps tie match
from being made, as the Garden A; c.

Bv O. B. Keller.

~ RESIDENT o. B. ANDREWS. of
the Chattanooga club, may
have the same initials as we
have, and all that, and. of course, we
feel more or less drawn toward him.
But we simply can't let him get away
with this compressed schedule hunch.
Not without at least one long ana
loud chirp of protest
OF course, if President Obediah
didn't say 1t, all this doesn't go, you
understand.
But If he did say it, as quoted,
we're agin him.
Mr.. Andrews is said TO have said
that if the Southern League decides
to adopt the 154 game schedule TO
replace the usual 140-game program,
it ought to be played in the same
length of time as the 140-game sched-
ule.
EVEN IL we weren't disposed to take
Il the part of the ball players, al
ready worked pretty nearly TO the
limit by scheduled double headers
and those resulting from postponed
and tie games, we would let out a
roar of protest against having to sit
up in a press coop and watch the
overtime slaughter.
Not being entirely selfish, we Will
protest in the name Of the ball play
ers, taking the position that the pub
lie is able to protect itself by not
going to double headers if it doesn't
want to. 1t usually does, for some
reason. But that fact doesn't entitle
it to any defense
THE 14O-game schedule fills com
l fortaSly all the space now pro-
vided for it. and supplies quite enough
double headers, given even talr
break in the weather conditions.
PLAYING or attempting to play,
fourteen more games in that period
would make that Augean stables job
look like a contract to keep the BIOS
SONS picked off century plant.
Under absolutely ideal weather con-
ditions It night be done. But It
would be a fearful grind for the ball
PLAYERS and for such patrons as were
in anv sort of sympathy with the 5.
p. c. A.
Az OREOVER, that sort Of thing APP
wi peaIs to US as no sort of sug-
gestion to pull at this Juncture in the
affairs of men.
Here is the Federal League, going
out after ball players in every direc-
tion-and getting them, say what you
please about it. Without praise or
blame of the Feds, it may be said
fairly that the 154 -games-in Ave
months plan offers more inducements
10 southern League ball players to go
and play ball somewhere else than
anv other idea that could be uncorked.
And the Southern League ball play
ers have, as rule, shown themselves
very loyal this winter in the face of
good deal of temptation.
THE 154-game schedule, with fit-
l teen days added to the length OF
the playing eason, would be pretty
neat move to combat the depreda-
lions Of the Feds, 1t would give

WILL
HAVE A PUBLIC
GOLF COURSE
New Western Links Will Include
Land Set Apart for Chill
dren's Playground.
BY Chick Evans

a FRIEND has sent me from
~ Seattle a plan of municipal
links that is now being con-
structed in that city When 1t is
completed it will be. | believe. the
only public golf course west Of the
Rocky Mountains. Robert tombstone
professional of the Seattle Golf and
Country Club. designed the course,
and it is being constructed under the
direction of the Seattle Park Com
missioners. The new links, includ-
ing the land for a children's play
ground, is composed of one hundred
acres, beautifully situated on the
crest of Beacon Hill and commanding
a fine view of the city on the west
and with towering mountains stand
ing like sentinels around.
The course will consist of eighteen
holes, with a total length of $3.50
yards. The first nine holes are 5000
yards long, and the second an even
5000 yards.
THE lengths OF the various holes
are: First, 300 yards; second,
430; third, 800; fourth, 1850; fifth,
260; sixth, 40; seventh, 200; eighth.
$50; twelfth, 800; thirteenth, $50;
fourteenth, ESQ; fifteenth, $50; six
teenth, 200; seventeenth, 400; and
eighteenth, 400.
Seattle, be it known, has a very
fine system Of parks and boulevards,
and to f. c. Cheasty Of the park
board, belongs the credit Of the idea
that public golf course would prove
very beneficial and attractive ad-
dition to the park system
g cattle has already two fine
- courses-the darlington Golf and
Country Club and the Seattle Golf
Club. There IS also a smallcourse near
the University of Washington, where
the faculty OF that institution play.
In Seattle golf can be played practi-
cally the whole year round, and few
cities Of its size in the country Of
fer more to the golfer. With the
completion OF the public course, the
less well-to-do players will be fur
nished healthful recreation, and ! am
sure that it is step that the city
Will never regret.
