Beware of the Shot Gun

Early in the season the boys find it
hard work to refrain from visiting the
melon patches after dark. How unnec-
essary for boy to steal a melon. when
the owner of the patch would a hundred
times rather give the visitor one rather
than see him tramp over the tender
vines. Several of these midnight parties
have come close to carrying home with
them a goodly supply of lead, and this
item is printed in hopes it may prove a
sufficient warning to those who are in
clned to purloin melons rather than
acquire them in gentlemanly manner.

figures that so long as there are school boys and oars, England will boss the ripples.
 "The school plan," says an English pappy with gray hair and russet, waited neck, "is what gives us an ad- vantage on the water and preserves our men in later life. Practice makes for not only skill but permanent physique as we'll" A Sunday on the Thames confirms wthat he says of physique, for there the old boy who looks all in but isn't will pull an oar half the day taking his family for an outing.
 While English athletes claim su- periority for their style of rowing and coaching they wobble in trying to match up the claim with Capt. Guy Nichals' showing at Yale last year. The alibi is that Nichals couldn't be expected to teach his charges what they should have learned as kids and make champion oarsmen of them in the time allowed him.
 Soccer has hit the skids. The kick ing game is summed more and more by the sport elect because the flower classes" have had the distressing gall to take it up. It would play merryelI with the fitness of things if a team of uncouth stevedores mixed with a col lege squad So the game is falling from favor with the athletic all high est and the chance of a deadly para lell between the uppers and the lowers is slight
 Jimmy Wilds, the fly weight holds the spot in boxing, Wilde is smaller than a split second and like most fly weights, hits like Stanley Ketchcll. Clever fighters weighing as high as no pounds have cmled up on the floor under the crushing attack of this 94 pounder. He gave away ten pounds to Johnny Hughes, veteran and flat

tened him as he pleased, so now they've run out old Pedlar Palmeh, oiled up to the patriach's joints and started him off to spar exhibitions with Wilde. Jimmy is no stacker He applied 8 times for enlistment but was so small he couldn't even make the bantam brigade. He's a knockout fighter even if he does hail from Freddie Welsh's native village. Some day Wilde's friends hope to see him matched with Johnny Ertle if Mike McNulty's little charge can be pared down to 1O8 pounds
 Yes, the war has queered the sport business in England. And it hasn't stopped there, but recently reached into the old Folks Home and grabbed Bill Squires in far off Australia. Bill made sure Tommy Burns wasn't fight ing With Germany before deciding to give up his home and enlist, but he's on the way to the front now.

Especial to Gateway by United Pressll

Special to Gateway by United Pressl
 LONDON, Sept 12. - Picture the local ball club down on the border tossing bombs at Mexican trenches; the football; tennis and track star men suddenly whisked from the field of sport.
 Relatively, that is what England is up against. Sport has been put on ice till the bigger game with K. Bill of Potsdam- a game transcending all sport-has been played to gory finish.
 If American ball parks were to be suddenly deserted, with no one to beat back the weeds from the infeld and the papers daily were telling how Matty, or Cobb or Wagner died in a bayonet charge; if sportsmen's bat talions of the country's keenest athletes were being punished under artillery, then the American sport fan might appreciate the English situa- ton.
 In small way the gents of the scrambled ear still manage to oblige, but as a rule they divy their small purses with hospital funds. Sporting sheets, field days and football are nix. Soldier events bring out some of the best of the Empires surviving talent, but the public attends not so much in expectation of a contest as to kid it- self along and give up for the wound ed and destitute.
 English football differs from the American game, but the Cedrics and Cyrls are rough performers just the same. Mostly the college players come from First Families-that series of outer ripples around the big social splash-for "ruggcr" is not for the ordinary gink.
 Their gameness knocks the props from under some mythical American conceptions. Percy may call his friend "deah boy" and turn up his wrist to see the time, but how he bat ties is a story told by the Victoria Cross and the D. s. o. The list of athletic gods who have fallen in ac~ tion, the Mattys and Cobbs of Eng land, daily grows longer Others by hundreds have been relegated to the side lines for good.
 There's not much fear for the oars man. Englishmen think they're no percent good in a shell anyway and patronizingly tell an American why. It's because their school striplings are put in a shell and taught to row; taught to like it so well they get the eager fidgets when they see an oar Therefore the home guard lOgician

that, as heretofore, most of the big
