english FOOTBALL
GETS A SEVERE JOLT
Association Council Officially Decides
Not to Pay Any Players
Next Season.

The English Football Association
Council has decided that there shall not
be any professional football next sea-
son, nor will the English cup and the
amateur cup be run. II also has decided
not to prohibit football altogether. the
view being taken that IL Is imperative
the game should be continued for recrea-
tive purposes insofar as it may be play
ed without In any way prejudicing re-
cruiting or the output Of war material.
It is significant as showing the opinion
OF the governing body Of the game with
regard to the competitive element in the
astime during the war, that such COM
petitions as may be arranged will not
carry with them any concrete reward
in the shape of cups Or medals.
These decisions were arrived at after
a conference with representatives. of tho
two most powerful leagues in England on
July 10 and after other steps had been
taken to ascertain the views of other
important organizations and clubs. 1t is
true that the football association has
departed in vital manner from the de-
clared decision OF the Football League.
as the latter decided by a narrow ma
jority that it would be advisable to pay
s., but as against this there was the
solid recommendation Of the Southern
League that there should not be any pay
ment next season.
There was consequently a large ma
jority of the leading professional clubs
opposed to any remunerative football In
England next eason, but the clubs will
not be asked to make long railway jour
neys. as they will be grouped in geo.
graphically convenient centers.
Nothing definite has yet been done, so
far as the clubs in London and the South
are concerned. but II Is practically GER
tain that league will be formed con-
fined to the metropolitan clubs and 9TH
ers within an hours distance of Lon
DON
The Southern League will not provide
any football next season, but several Of
Its clubs are expected 10 Join with foot
ball league clubs to make interesting To-
cal competitions.

NO DELEHANTYS NOW
in MAJOR LEAGUES
Five Brothers Trained on Cleveland
Back Lots Entered the Big
Shows.

The last of the Delehantys has
passed from major league view. and
for the first time in nearly twenty
five years no member of the famous
baseball family is listed among the big
league stars.
There were five Delehanty brothers.
all of them trained on the sand lots
in Cleveland, and every one of the
FIVE found his way into the big show,
luster 10 the baseball fame Of the
family.
Ed Delehanty was the first brother
to enter the big leagues. He blossom
ed into a major league star in the late
eighties. and from then on until 1903.
when he met a tragic death by fall
ing from a bridge, he ranked as one
of the greatest batsmen the game
ever produced. He hung up clouting
records that remain to this day.
Tom was the second brother to play
major league baseball Something like
hfteen years ago, a short time before
the death of Ed, he landed on the
Cleveland team and played a hne
game.
Joe Delehanty was the third. He
played with St. Louis for number OF
years. Jim was the fourth brother to
enter the big leagues and Jim lasted
a long time as major Lacquer. lie
was a star with the Detroit Tigers
for many years. and ranked as one of
the best infelders in the business. In
1914 Jim jumped TO the Feds. The
other day he was released to the Co
lonial League, the minor organization
of the Feds.
Frank was the fifth Delehanty
brother to play in the majors. He was
with Cleveland for a time and later
played with the Yankees.
And now there are no more Dele
hantys. The last has passed beyond
the big league horizon. and the name
that once was the most famous in
baseball is but a memory.

Past Year.

New York, August Hodge. one of the
1915 turf sensations, was purchased for
$3.50 In a selling race when he was a
2-year-old, and since then has won over
$4,000 for his new owner. And Hodge.
now only at the height of his wonder
full career, looks. good enough to win
another $4,000.
Sixty thousand dollars on a $500 in
vestment-that Is the story that can be
told by w. ]. Weber, who owns Hodge.
The whirlwind thoroughbred was bred
by W. w. Darden, of Nashville, Tenn.
He showed fair speed as a a-year-old,
but no one but Weber could see In him
then the earmarks of a turf king.
After Hodge won a selling race Weber
put in bid for him. Darden topped that
bid. Hodge was by Ivan the Terrible
Nance Hodge. and Darden felt that he
might show some of the speed OF his
famous sire But when Weber boosted
his offer to $3.50 Darden quit bidding
and Hodge became the property Of
Weber.

Sam Acted Accordingly.

Why is It." asks Q pugilistic fan,
that Sam Langford knocks out some
men In one or two rounds and lets
others stay the limit. although the
others look like dubs?"
The answer is simple. At the begin
ming of each bout Sam counts the
house. If it's a slim house Sam knows
there's no chance for a return match.
whereupon he finishes the other guy
as quickly as possible. If it's big
house, Sam let's the other guy stay
the limit SO that a return match will
be a good drawing card.

A SNAKE OF A MAN.

Somebody poisoned my dog today,
Though he never did anyone i'll,
And so he is through with his canine
play
And his wagglety tail is still.
No more shall ! walk in the fields
with him
Along at my side to jog;
And don't care if my eyes are dim,
Somebody poisoned my dogl
He was homely, know, as dog
could be,
And only mongrel, too;
But | loved the old fellow and he
loved me
AS people and dogs may do,
Nothing on earth could disturb his
trust
Or his love and his faith befog,
And now he lies here at my feet, in
the dust
Somebody poisoned my dog
He crawled to my side and licked my
hand,
And then with gasp he died;
though some people can't UNI
derstand-
/ patted his head-and cried!
For it isn't funny to lose a friend
From off of this earthly cog,
And he was loyal unto the end
Somebody poisoned my dog!
| wonder how anyone could have done
This poor little fellow harm;
But there he lies-his race is run
Though his body's still soft and
warm.
My life is lived on peaceful plan,
My pace is quiet jog,
Butt wish | could find the snake
Of a man
Who poisoned my little dog.

TO LONELY MAN OR WOMAN!
CHURCH IS PLACE FOR YOU.

Let us consider this Go TO Church
movement-no doubt you've heard a
good deal about it recently
your viewpoint, Lonely Man or Wo-
man.
Why should you go to church?
In the first place, you have a right,
there. The church is Gods house,
the house of "Our Father which art
in Heaven" AS we are his sons and
daughters, the subjects of his loving
care, we should frequent His house
as we are glad to visit the house of
an affectionate parent. No one may
bar our way to that house; no one
may shut in our faces the doors of
Gods holy temple wherein He abides
to welcome us when we commune
with Him. In time of joy or time of
sorrow he awaits US there.
Therefore, Go to Church!
In the second place, you will find
there not only spiritual comfort, but
also the presence of kindred souls.
Drown to the altar by human loneli-
ness and the need of feeling Gods
presence ever near and dear, you will
find assembled in church the RIGHT
SORT OF MEN AND WOMEN with
whom to form earthly relationships.
Their presence in church is guar
antee of their innate goodness Of
heart The wastrel, the immoral
character, the idler, do not go to
church. reverence does not appeal
to them. The services tire them.
They can find more congenial com
partnership elsewhere.
Church is not for them unless they
enter it with sincere desire to re-
form. Then you may extend to them
the hand of fellowship. The clergy
man, minister to Gods people, will
aid you in determining to whom you
may open your heart. He will be
your safeguard when you
GO TO CHURCH.

VINEGAR RIDGE,

Vinegar Ridge, Feb. 3.-Bryan
Gamer has been away from home
since Friday.
The Lang saw mill blew out one
day last week. 1t might have been
a bad accident, but fortunately no
one was hurt.
Bryan Gamer went to Belington
Friday to wait on W. S. Davis. He
says when he got in town over on the
Will-o'- the Wisp he started to go the
old tow path, the nearest way to
Huffman. The mayor of the town
called to him, saying, "You can't get
through that way on account of the
creek" which was nice of him, and
the duty of all officers.
| was rather surprised when | read
the Wolf Run letter last week to
think that the ladies called on a
young man to decide the question. If
he had been cracked over the head
with broom as I've been he would
have rendered different decision.
On returning home | asked Bryan
what was the news. He said nothing.
