CLOTHING WANTED

Mrs. Cora A. Peddicord, Superinten-
dent of the Maysville City Mission yes
terday asked us to print an appeal for
children's clothing, for youngsters be-
tween the ages of s and 12. She said
that on account of the high cost of
foodstuffs, persons with small salar-
les could not afford to purchase cloth
ing for their children and many were
badly in need of garments with which
to probably clothe themselves.
All persons in the city that have a
supply of old clothes on hand which
they do not need are requested to
send 1t to the City Mission on Sutton
street where it will be sold at a small
sum to those needing it. Mrs. Peddi-
cord says that to sell the poorer
classes things at very low price is
much better than giving as NANNY Of
them are sensitive about receiving
charity. 40

YOKEL WANTS ROLLER
TO REFEREE MATCH

A reoord-brealdns crowd will no doubt
turn out Wednesday night to witness the
Turner-Yokel wrestling match for the
worlds middle-weight championship
Manager Joe Freeman Is rapidly putting
things at the Lyceum Theater in ship
shape for the bout. The sale of seats
for this contest will start Saturday after
noon.
Freeman Is confident that he will be
able to accommodate the local followers
Of the game and is also making arrange
ment for the many visitors who will Jour-
ney here to witness the contest.
Although Turner and Yokel have signed
for this match no official was named in
the articles. Freeman received word from
Yokel yesterday stating that since he
was meeting Turner in his own town that
he desired TO name the referee.
Yokel is In favor OF Doctor Roller, the
well-known heavyweight erappler, act
ing as the third man on the mat, but
Turner favors P. f. O'Connor the local
official. Freeman will straighten out this
argument today and there is but little
doubt Of Roller being named over the 10
cal mat referee.

PLAN TO REVIVE
CALIFORNIA TURF

San Diego, Cal. Jan. Io-Much specula-
ton is being INDUCED in by racing men
gathered here over the prospects for a.
revival Of racing in California. With the
exception Of the brief meeting conducted
at San Francisco in connection with the
Panama-Pacifc Exposition last year,
there has been no thoroughbred racing
worthy of the name in California since
the enactment OF stringent anti-bookmak-
ing legislation in 1911, which resulted in
the permanent closing of the Oakland
track, where Thomas H. Williams had
succeeded in keeping racing going for
two seasons after the passage OF the
Walker-Otis anti-racing bill in 1909
Recently a formidable movement for the
restoration Of racing as one OF the great
outdoor sports of California has been
launched, with the Golden Gate Breeders
Association OF San Francisco taking the
Initiative. Those in close touch with the
movement are highly optimistic over the
outlook for the passage OF legislation that
will permit the resumption of the sport
on a scale in keeping with the best ira
ditions OF racing in the Golden State and
under conditions that nobody can reason
ably object to.

ROWING ASSOCIATION
PLAYING WITH FIRE

Philadelphia, Pa. Jan. lo.-The report
that Tom Rooney. national single scullins
champion, is in danger of being declared
a professional because he is an instructor
in a public recreation park in New York
is not taken seriously by followers OF
the rowing game In the first place. a
certain percentage of the men prominent
in the rowing game have competed pro-
tessionally in other sports, but no COM
plant has been made before: while in
the second place, declaring man pro-
fessional for earning an honest living
would harm the sport Just as much as
the amateur question is doing to track
athletics. Let US hope that the National
Rowing Association does not follow the
footsteps OF the A. A. U. Again We re-
mark that II generally is best to leave
well enough alone.

Dear Folks: Just when I thought rd
Knocked all tn pottery out o. Lon, tn fool
kid looms up this mornin' with tn fol-
lowin' patched up parcel:
When Willie Green was Just so high-not
more'n hve or six
He used to drive tn neighbors wild
playin' "taddy" with his sticks.
Yet not a picayune cared 1 when they d
start in to fuss
Cause plainly seen tn "makin's" In tn
'onery III cuss.
He'd stand close UP. an line 'em out
right through a window pane,
An then you'd hear tn folks all cry,
amt It measly shame
To let that Green brat stand out there
an do Just as he likes
But still I always seen him through, an
looked out for his rights.
He soon grew UP an made tn team they
organized at school,
But tn teacher. an tn other boys said
Willie was q fool
Cause he never knowed no 'rithmatio,
nor could he even spell
Yet when II come to plsyin' bail tn kid
could hit like hell
When school closed down poor Brl cut
loose. an LEFT tn neiehborhood.
Which gave tn folks a chance to cry,
he'll never be no good"
Our lads eln't what they used { be"
said staid old Parson Stout.
But yet still remembered how tn kid
could lace EN- out.
We didn't hear no word of Bill for q cou-
pie o. years or moro.
When one day from ''Th' Bladder Heb
Jones read out tn score
About tn big world series they vas
playin' of up North,
An there, right in tn Boston bunch.
was Bill Green battin' fourth
That fall when Bill came back Z town
red rockets hlled tn air.
TIL church crowd pulled a sociable, an
asked Bill to be Mayor,
But ! really wasn't much surprised. nor
did I rave an shout,
For never once had forgot how Bill
could line 'em out
Note-Lon says IL you find your chief

CATHOLIC U. BEATEN
BY Middle TOSSERS
Annapolis Cadets Trim Fast Brookland
Quint in Slow Game, "a to 13.

Annapolis. Nd. Jan. 10.-Although the
Midshipmen won from the Catholic Uni
versity at basketball here this afternoon
by a comfortable margin. the contest
was the poorest exhibition that the MID
dies have put forth this season. Espe-
cially as compared to their stellar per-
formances In the games with City
College, Of New York, and Yale. both OF
which they won. the former by single
point and the latter by a two-point mar
gin. The final score of today's game was
"a to Is
Today's contest was a remarkable one
for the fact that the second half was
well under way before the Washing
tonians managed to register a goal from
the court. Not much real basketball had
been shown by either team as far as
the finer points of the game are con-
cerned, but this was an instance of the
stiffness of the Navy defense up to that
period, but It is only fair to the Catholic
aggregation to state that they labored
under heavy handicap because Of the
absence OF two Of their regulars from
the lineup due to restriction on ao-
count Of studies
These are Gallivan. the regular center.
and Cartwright. forward, who was the
star of the c. U. quintet last season.
and the fact that the court in Dahlgren
Hall Is much larger than that on which
the varsity boys have been accustomed
to hold their practice work, probably
presented another drawback.
The hitherto rapid FIRE work Of the
Middies only manifested itself in flashes
IN todays engagement, but at that they
put up far stronger game than their
opponents, as the score we'll nigh indi-
Gates. They finished the first half with
the score reading IA to in their favor
and they more than met the challenge
OF the visitors In the nnal stages of
plays. More than nve minutes Of the
second half had expired before the vfsi-
tors managed to score a goal from court.
II was shot by O'Brien after some
clever team work. Blyth and Glascott
followed soon afterwards with neld
goals. o'Brien by the way, was the
malnstay in the Catholic lineup. He
played a strong game in every respect.
In addition to his single field goal, he
was an adept at caging the leather from
the foul line, being credited with a total
Of seven goals out OF twelve chances.
Calhoun, the Navy captain. also had
big day. OF 1t at shooting from the
foul circle. He got the remarkable num-
Der Of twelve goals out of eighteen
chances. which is above the average. In
addition he also got two field goals and
played his usal strong game in other
