G. HECOX FOR COACH
Report that Analostan Man Will Be
Made Flattering Offer to
Handle Crews.

Clarence r. Hecox. coach of the
Analostan Boat Club crews, who has
made such an enviable record with the
athletes of the local club, may soon
be engaged to coach the Potomac
Boat Club.
In spite OF a denial made yesterday
by Capt. Frank T. Chamberlin, of Po-
tomac that Hecox had been approach
ed, it is stated on reliable authority
that the Analostan coach was sounded
as to his views on the question when
he was in Philadelphia last indie
pendence Day.
According 20 the same source of in
formation. Hecox has no intention of
quitting his present position with Ana
lostan unless he receives flattering
offer from the Potomac oarsmen,
Claude r. Zappone. one of the hard
est workers in the Potomac club, was
recently given charge Of the crews.
but reports from several different
sources are that this is but temper
airy arrangement until a new coach
can be obtained.
meeting of the racing committee
of the Potomac club is scheduled for
next week and at this time the club
may decide to tempt Hecox with a
flattering offer.

After Jack was beaten he refused to
believe il, and sought another chance.
He got it and slipped the old X. o. over
on Kirwan in the fourth round 1t hap
pened over at Haaons handball court on
Kedzie avenue. A crashing punch with
the right baud put the Mystery down
and out. He decided when he came to
that Moffat was too big for him, which
was the truth.
But that battle was the starting of
Mofats successful career and really the
start of Kirwan's downgrade dash.
Yet kirwan won several surprising
battles during 1897. which was the year
of the second Moffat battle. The .'Mys-
terry was a good card on the Southside,
and one day they matched him up with
colored boy from Memphis named
Chappie Jones. He was a tall, hungry
looking fellow of a chocolate color and
came here with a good record.
Kirwan went at him the same as he
went at the others. His left was stuck
out straight and his right was straight
out behind as far as he could reach with
II. He presented a comical picture as he
stood there. But Jones wasn't amused.
He was there for business. He tented
Kirwan rapidly and then drove home as
pretty a left hook to the jaw as Charley
White ever got away with. 1t landed
flush and stood the Mystery full on
top of his head in the middle of the ring.
George was nothing If not game and
arose blindly without waiting for the full
count. While he was getting his bearings
Jones stepped in with a right swing to
the other side of the jaw and the 'Mys-
terry never knew anything for twenty
minutes.
The contest lasted a minute and forty
seconds and the finish found the big
throng almost as completely paralyzed
as was the fallen fighter.
Three weeks later Kirwan met Jones
again. This time he was trained and
Chappie. flushed with the ease of his
first victory. wasn't Kirwan won in six
rounds. That disguised Chappie and he
sought and got another meeting, just
one month after the second one.
Kirwan knocked him out completely
with a wild swing in the second round
after abusing him scandalously in the
first round.
This shows that some of them can
come back after crushing defeats. Some
can and some can't. Jones was found
drowned in the Mississippi River a short
time after that

This Is a story. The author admits It.
1t came all the way across the ocean
, and through several ears. A certain golf
er heard 1t from another golfer, who
heard it from a certain other golfer. and
so on ad infinitum. Readers are request
ed not to add to the story as here set
down.
1t happened on the old ST. Andrews
course-all agree OIL this. The story Is
all about the only 50O-yard hole that was
ever holed out in one shot. The hero's
name Is a long one and probably has in
creased in transit. Here Is reproduced a
section of the story: Lord William Hir-
shute Chesterton Maths Olfont Joyce
Jamison was 20 years old and one of the
old school of golfers. who used to wear
Knockers and high silk hat when he
went affecting.
On this particular day-and it was in
deed a memorable day-his lordship is
said to have settled his high hat just
trifie more rakishly on his white locks
and to have hoisted his ball aloft with
somewhat more ferver than he had put
into most Of his previous shots. The
ball disappeared In the fog. and he and
his caddy went In pursuit. All efforts
in tired way. wandered down the
course
The turtle as yer ball In his face.
His lordship FASTENED forward and saw
his caddy trotting cautiously beside
large nat obejct which was moving rap
idly toward the green.
The turtle as your ball In his face,
yer iordship." gasped the boy. Lord
Jamison recognized the creature az the
praePes testudo, or pacing snapper.
which moves on land with great speed
Sure enough. the ball was in its jaws.
II moved on the green.
Then It Is said TO have turned on its
pursuers and to have dashed its tail,
emitting at the same time low growl
II then ambled toward the pin.
Ere. ERE. old hum exclaimed his
lordship. and he struck the shell of the
''critter'' with his nibiick. At once the
snapper retreated into his shell and be-
ing right over the hole the bah squeezed
out. dropped in His Iordship and the
caddy tiptoed on the green, and the
turtle emerging cautiously from rs
sheel. soon ran of. leaving the bah in
the hole.

OLIVES PLAN GROWING IN FA-
VCR AND APPEARS THAT HE
WILL SUCCEED IN EFFORT.
An Atlanta special says:

The amendment by Mr.. Olive of
Richmond, 10 the Jones automobile
tax bill, providing for the use of the
money raised in this way, above ac-
tual expenses to go to the purchase of
free textbooks for the first two
grades Of the public schools, has gath
cred considerable force, and the in
dicatlons are that the bill, when pass
ed. will carry that SOFT of a prOyis-
ion. 1t may be that he method of
making the Distribution will be chang
ed somewhat. In fact, Mr.. Olive has
himself been working 70 perfect his
idea, during the day t. day, and very
probably will have bro Ight from the
committee on ways and means a con
siderably changed bill from the one
which was under consideration in the
house when it adjourned Friday eve
ming.
While it was not the motion of Mr..
Sheppard Of Summer " III ended the
consideration of the bill 'riday, his
motion, made in behalf ~ Mr.. Olive,
would have cut off furtl. n debate on
the bill, as was shown when that point
in business was reached in Tie house
today.
The speaker announced under the
head of unfinished business that the
automobile bill was the business be-
fore the house and under that head
the motion of the gentleman from
Sumter, to recommit the bill to the
ways and means committee was be-
fore the house, and ruled that the
motion was not debatable.
When the vote was first put it APP
pcared that the negative had it, and
Mr.. Sheppard called for division
which, on count, stood 81 to 81 for the
motion, and the bill was recommitted,
Announcement is made by Mr.. Olive
that he is gathering important infOr-
nation and data to go before the COM
mittee in the interest of his plan to
use the surplus money for free school
books, and that he will urge the adop-
ton of that idea. The committee
will probably bring out that kind Of
a bill.

Editor News:
We are elated over our new public

THE "BoYcoTT" DoDGER.

An anonymous dodger, calling upon those who live outside of the city limits to boycott Juneau and It's business men because of the decision of the city gov ernment to make tuition charge for pupils who do not reside in the city but who attend the city schools was given circulation in Juneau yesterday. The crcu- lar also declares against joining the city of Juneau
 or course the dodger have no effect People who are worth while do not follow those who either thoughtessy or mallciousy attack from ambush nor can they afford to accept as leaders those who seek sometimes for nothing Those who live just outside of the city limits but object to coming into the city are es,opped as matter Of equity from complaining about paying for the benefits that the city has to offer i they want the benefit of the municipal government of Juneau they should come into the city. The people outside of the city limits but who want to come Into the city and assist in bearing the responsibilities of citizenship in it. are the only people who have any just reason to complain on account of the tuition charge
 Juneau citizens. and in this include those who live within the city will resent the indirect attack live within the city will resent the anonymous attack on the city council contained in the dodger Notwith standing that many citizens believe that the tuition charge is not wise they appreciate the work the coun c is doing for Juneau-for those outside of the city as well as those within it. Juneau has excellent city government and it is the duty of all citizens to aid 1t n it's task of city building with limited revenues
