CHUM BOB'S SPORTING TALK.

New York, July 17-(By Union As
ISOLATED Press)-The first open air
boxing show which John Weismantel
will stage at Ebbets Field, Brooklyn,
during the summer months will be
held tonight. The main bout Of ten
rounds will be between Billy Miske
of St. Paul and Bob McAilister, the
fast and clever ight-heavyweight of
California. Miske's injured hand has
healed nicely and he has been doing
light training for several weeks.
The uncertainty as to whether St.
Louis will hold the national champion
ships is not causing Fred W. Ruben
any ~easiness. Should the Western
city be unable to conduct the contests
they will be held on Franklin Field,
Philadelphia, under the auspices of the
Meadowbrook Club, for the benefit of
the Red Cross Fund.
Joe Higgins the national indoor and
New England intercollegiate champ
ion, has enlisted in the quartermaster's
department Of the army. Higgins is

Secretary John E. Priddy Of the
Findlay, Ohio, Trotting Association
announces that the five $1,000 stake
races for the events of July II to 20
have all been filled with splendid hors-
es, some of them followers of the
Grand Circuit. The three-year-old
trot has the least number of entries,
ten. The 2:1S pace has twenty-nine,
the 2:15 trot seventeen, the 2:20 trot
eighteen and the 2:11 pace twenty.

Much credit is due Miller Higgins,
brainy little leader of the St. Louis
Cardinals, for his fight against dis
couraging odds to place the Cardinals
higher this year than a St. Louis team
has even finished in the National Lea
que. Brand Hickey, the young pres
ident of the St. Louis club, is giving
Higgins expert aid and advice. Rick
ey knows baseball as played on the
field better than any club owner in the
league. He vas a major league play
er himself not so long ago.
According to Willie Lewis, manager
Of Albert Badoud, the w~elterweight
champion Of Europe, Ted Kid Lewis is
not the worlds welterweight champ
ion, ever though he won from Jack
Britton, who has been generally recog-
nized the title holder, Lewis is not
the welterweight champion of the
world until he defeats Albert Badoud,"
says Willie Lewis. "Badoud is the
legitimate title holder of Europe, for
he defeated Johnnie Eastman, the
former w~elterweight champion of
England, in nine rounds" Willie is
negotiating with a fight promoter in
Dayton, o., for a match between Ba-
doud and Ted. If the men are signed
up they will meet for twenty rounds
to a decision.
Ed ,Barrow's International league is

LYNX Meat as Food.

Az an article Of diet the Canada
lynx cannot be beaten when properly
prepared, although this may be a sur
prise to the vast majority OF people
even in the regions where this big cat
IA best known. This statement is
made in the belief that the common
LYNX found in Alaska is the same AMI
NAL scheduled by the natural histories
as lynx Canadensis. If any curious
person will take the headquarters OF Q
lynx in good condition, leave 1t over
night in a bucket Of water to which
a handful Of salt and teaspoonful OF
soda are added, and then roast 1t with
potatoes he will have dish very SIM
liar to mountain sheep, admittedly the
finest meat in the world. An onion or
two placed in the roasting pan VIII
help. In entertaining hypercriucally
fastidious friends it's just as well to
give the dish some other name. IN
which event its delicious flavor VIII
receive extravagant praise.

Tho Eccentric Chinese.

Petroleum may be thing for which
ones taste has to be cultivated. At any
rate, the Chinese dislike the smell and
touch Of it so badly that they are much
In the situation Of the people who
seventy-ave years ago had salt works
In western Pennsylvania-they abomi-
nate the petroleum and abandon a wen
when the proportion of oil to brine
gets high. Their repugnance for crude
petroleum may be measured by the
fact that in China it takes from one
to three generations to bore a well!
For the refined products Of petroleum
they have no such aversion, or even
for the tin cans in which they get 1t
from the United States, making out OF
the latter a source of almost as many
of the necessaries of life as South
Sea islanders finds in his favorite CO.

To Avoid q Double Chin.

Sleep with the head low II you would
avoid a double chin. High pillows
throw the head forward, make fold
Of flesh under the chin, and cause the
muscles to relax. Battle the chin night
and morning with very cold water and
q few drops Of benzoin.
A double chin often results from the
habit Of bending the chin forward and
down to read or study, or 1t may come
from being near-sighted. II from habit,
learn to raise the object up so that the
eyes may be properly focused upon 1t
without bending the head forward
This will also prevent any strain upon
the eyes.

Notice to Teachers
j S Mozart
Lancing, R

The next examination will be
held Dec. goth and 2lst. There
will be no examination on the read
ing circle books, but there will be
a professional examination as pre-
scribed by law.
While this examination will not
be technically based upon these
books, yet the subject treated by
them are so essential, l shall con-
fine the questions largely to these
subjects, any one with professional
judgment to teach school should be
able to answer the questions whether
he has read the books or not.
The last legislature placed music
and drawing upon the list of re-
quired subjects to be taught in our
public schools; l therefore must in
clude these in the next examination,
| can promise your teachers the ex-
animation will be very easy this
time, but will gradually grow more
difficult as the teachers have time
to prepare themselves on these sub
iects.
