smile at home at sacred words sung to
the tune. There Will BE Hot Time in

are thousands of miles from home and
in the fields of France the old tunes
sound good and the sacred words are
not without significance The lassie
furnishes the music. everybody knows
the tune and a little booklet, which
Evangeline Booth has prepared espe-
cially for the American Army, gives
the words. SO everybody sings.

Seven Barrels, Two Boxes, Filled.

Seven barrels of heavy ware and two
big boxes or silver foil already have
been packed in the cellar of Calf &
Bro. in the show windows of which
5ewelry house the Red Cross melting
pot is on display. Two big boxes Of
broken silver and another Of broken
gold are being packed. Henry 3. Berg
heimer. manager. gem expert, is going
over the Jewels that seem to offer spe-
cial value to determine just what dis
position should be made Of them. The
great collection of coins is yet to be
gone over to get out those of merely
current value as United States money
There are some articles of distinct in
terest. historic or otherwise sentimental
value, which must he disposed of in
some other way. Such is the wonderful
French doll, three feet high. in eXqui-
site court costume and garmented in
every small particular; the collection of
signatures; an ancient Colt weapon of
the first pattern of revolving pistol; a
sword, a kiInona, beautifully en-
broidered Chinese fan; pewter bake
pan. which gains its interest from hav-
ing been at the bottom of Havana har-
Dor for many months in the wreck of
the Maine. And there are other such
things. A way to dispose of them is
still to be found out; that is one of the
amazing difficulties to be solved.

Lack of Decisions Make FiaScOS of Bio Bouts
MANY IMPROVEMENTS PLANNED FOR
POPULAR MEADOW PARK GOLF COURSE

Meadow Park golf course, which
Opened as a public links last spring
and later became a semi-public
course when the Meadow Park
club was organized, will be a fully
equipped playground for golf fans
when the spring season opens.
Although the new course was
rough last year, because of its
newness, workmen have been busy
necessarily during the winter in
perfecting the entire prairie field,
and Meadow Park will rank with
any public course in the west this
year.
w. F. Jowders and Clint w.
Beal, owners, have carefully fol-
lowed the plans prepared by Golf
Architect John Ball, with a result
that the course is becoming more
interesting each day. And the in
creased patronage, noticeable even
during the winter months, indi-
Gates that Meadow Park will be
crowded every day of the coming
season.
Many pits, bunkers and hazards
of all kinds will be completed as
soon as the cold weather abates. A
practice green before the club
house will be seeded, as will the
new first green. All other greens
are in splendid shape, not having
been played on during their soft
stages In winter.
Hole II, the pride of Manager
Jowders, is easily one of the most
difficult golf problems in this part
of the country. 1t is only 1913
yards, but the hole is out of sight
down a steep hill from the tee.
The green is completely surround
ed by bunkers. A perfect pitch
shot is necessary, or player can
not keep out of the pits. Many of
the best players in Tacoma have
fallen down on this hole.
The plans call for several other
sporty" holes to be finished in
similar fashion, and practically all
of this work will be finished be-
fore the busy summer season
starts.
Water has been piped to all of
the IS greens. Gas has been in
stalled in the club house for cook
ing and lighting, and modern res
taurant is open at all times.
Meadow Park is Tacoma's sub
stitute for municipal golf course,

This would do away with the

Battling Bunker Of Seattle, the

fight Gus Bloom of Tacoma. This
latter bout should be a corker.

he lacks in science. His entire
repertoire of blows consist of wide
full-arm swings, which he tele-

graphs long in advance. He tries
only for knockout. Bunker can
make a boxing match more anus
ing than anyone in this neck of
the woods, ad although he was
beaten by Val Comstock Monday
night, he is always a popular per-
son on a card. Bloom has boxed
about Tacoma considerably and
should be good match for the
balmy bean boy of Seattle.
The coming Eagle card promises
to be a splendid one. Muff Bron-
son, coast lightweight champion,
will defend his title against
frankie Sullivan. Harry Casey
and Jimmy Maloney, the boys who
knocked each other out simultane-
ously at Seattle a short time ago,
are also matched.
