fame, sums up as follows the reasons
why Leonard II White should be
matched for a 20 round battle, with
Welsh bound by a hard and fast agree

distance. Smith says:
Both Leonard and White are punch
ers Of the old school. Both have scored
knockouts galore and impressed the
fans with the idea that possibly either

trouble finding a place and q fat purse.
Why not go to it?
There isn't a chance in the world
apparently-of taking Fred's title away
from him in a ten round battle. That
could be done only by somebody hang

of the ten round limit. Everyone of the
good lightweights has tried il and
every one has failed. White had three
cracks at it and couldn't begin to put it
over. There was a suspicion created in
at least two OF these battles that if the
affairs had zone on to 20 rounds White

New York, May 5.-secretary John
A Heydler Of the National league, has
announced that the Chicago club
would have to file a list OF q eligible
players the same as other clubs in
order to conform to the National
league constitution, which limits the
clug roster to q men after May 1.
A special dispensation has been
made in the case Of the Cubs, how
ever. which permits them to carry
additional players on a non-active list
until the opening OF the 1917 playing
season, il desired. At no time during
the season can the Chicago club carry
more than Fl anne on its eligible
list, but players can be shifted from
the ~nOn-active to the eligible list and
vice versa at n time. provided that
such changes are reported to the
league executive officers.
A player shifted TO the ~non-activa
list cannot be brought back into the
game for a period Of ten days. The
81. Louis club, of the American league
enjoys the same privileges.

Do you remember where you stood
when you first kissed her! OF course,
you do. says q writer in the Dayton

which Is craven in our memory for
ever and ever. You felt thrifty and
chilly and warm and were half scared
to death. You saw God In her eyes
and felt him in your soul. Wouldn't
you give all you have, or ever expect
to have. In exchange for the innocence
Of your heart as It beat that day
against the little throbbing heart In
her tender breast?
But did you marry her? Some svr

and promises soon to tell US all about

write letters telling her all about It.
Perhaps you married this little
woman Of dreams, and perhaps you
did not. The chances are that you
did not. But you will remember the
sweet ache that troubled your soul In
the days when you were wooing her
with q chivalry unknown to all who
have passed beyond the heavenland
Of childhood.
When you think Of her now your
soul yearns backward to that never.

OF sweet sad tears Oils your eye.
Did you marry her? Did you!

you take her hand. In the quiet Of q
