champion, being late for an
engagement yesterday after
noon, caused two photogra-

armory to miss getting a pict-

up considerably.
Miss Bjurstedt had just won
an indoor championship, and
as she was leaving the court
the photographers approached
and asked the champion to
pose for her photograph.
The snapshot brigade was a
bit slow in getting ready, and
Miss Bjurstedt, suddenly
glancing at the armory clock,
saw the hands pointing to
o'clock.
"Oh, am sorry, but | can't
wait!" she cried and dashed
away. leaving the photogra-

covered that the regimental

hour ahead by the daylight

Non-Interference With Ship
ping Permits Good
Racing Season
BY Frank S. Cooke

With positive assurance from Uncle
Sans railway traffic commanders that
there will be no interference with the
shipping of livestock this year, that
conditions will be as near like those of
1917 as possible, horse owners through
out the country and the votaries of the
sport of racing are feeling a bit more
cheerful than they were a few months
ago.
Ihe government announces through
w. III. Gochcr, who went to Washington
for the purpose, that there will be no
only such east of that point as may be
necessitated by the shipment of men
and munitions.
This straightens cut what was a
doubtful situation for the Grand
Circuit, the refusal of the railroads to
haul seventy-odd colts from Walnut
Hall Farm, in Lexington, to New York
IN February having set everybody to
thinking.
Now that the clouds have vamoosed
and the air is clear there will be great
er activity in training camps, and some
men who. thought of taking a year off
will be back in the game, which to
them is all of the real sport there is

Friiar S Dean Is

SAN FRANCISCO, March so.-Jack
Gleason is back in California. After an
absence of eight years from the Colder
Gate, the former San Franciscan is In
Los Angeles. Later Gleason will CONS
to San Francisco to attend to soma
business affairs. For many years Jack
was prominent in athletic circles ia
this city. He was at one time athlete
leader in the Olympic Club. Later he.
promoted professional boxing contests
including the Britt Cans and the
ketchel-Thomas fights at the ball park
1t was after the fire of 1895 that
Gleason was associated whit ]. Cal
Ewing in the San Francisco ball club.
Then came his hooking up with Tex
Rlckard in promoting the biggest Of all
fights-the Jeffries-J johnson battle.
Jack was reported to have cleaned up
handsomely on the fight, but he didn't
come back to San Francisco. He con,
go without taking steamer.
Ard here are a lot of people who
will le Lad to see Jack when he strikes
the home town; to talk over old times
and ask him a few questions.
Gossip has it that Jack in his breezy
way promised a half interest in the
Jeffries-J ohnson fight TO any number
of his friends. Since there are only
two halves to any proposition, when II
came to cutting the melon lot OF the
boys who were left out felt aggrieved.
1t is likely that Gleason will seek 70
recover some of the baseball stock 10
held in the San Francisco CLUB. Be.
cause of an alleged failure to pay al
assessmen. the stock reverted 70 thsi ths

money. He may seek an adjustmsns

JACKLING HAS BIG JcB

When the government decided that 500. 900 OOO should he expended for the erection of explosives plants It felt II showed it should be shown where and how the money was spent. So 1t called for Daniel Cowan Jackling and he re- sponded from the Pacific coast.
 Raised In Missouri, Dan Jackling is the very essence of the "show-me" spirit, and when asked by the war de partment to take charge of the build ing of these plants he consented.
 He was born in Appleton county, Missouri, in 1869, where he spent his early school days. He took up the study of metallurgical engineering at the Missouri School of Mines. In 1892 he took a post graduate course and be- cause of his thorough knowledge of the subject was made assistant profes- sor of chemistry and metallurgy.
 His first big accomplishment was in 1897, when he was appointed super intendent in charge of the construction work of the immense metallurgical pla mines in Utah.

SHIRLEY FOR BUDGET SYSTEM

Is there need now, as in the days of peace, for q reform budgetary sys- tenn of national finance for the United States government? Representative Swagar Sherley of Kentucky says yes. He is the chairman of the house com mittee on appropriations, one of the biC finance experts of congress, and he has been budget advocate during the greater part of the 16 years he has been member of the national legisla- ture.
 "I am not blind to the fact" he said the other day in the course of an interview, that there must be and should be a wide distinction between the spending policy of the nation in time of peace and its policy in time of war. Under normal conditions we should consider every expenditure with reference to whether 1t is worth the burden it puts upon the people. In time of war there is only one side to that vital question.
