Boxing Notes
BY Fred Hawthorne

Life Is o strange bird, Aunt Eleanor
in Madison Square Garden, having
been sentenced by Il cruel sporting
editor to "six days in the mad house"
and about our third day of servitude
we thought longingly of the freedom
in the outer world and of what life
of ease and luxury we had been liv-
ing, and of what "elevating" work we
had been doing. No, we don't mean
the kind Of job those West Indians
have in apartment houses, but work
hat elevated the well known human
race, as Captain Franklin ?. Adams
Will soon be saying again in the
Coming Tower"
How would the world struggle along
without Boxing News and Notes" to
read every morning, was what we kept
asking ourselves, and we thought of
the many (see circulation tigures), des-
olate homes that would be created by
our absence, and of how the honest and
hard-worklng head Of the family would
say to his bee-yu-ti~ful young wife
across the table, "Aren't there any Box
ing News and Notes THIS morning.

linen handkerchief, and sob: NO,
Ronald, there are none again this
morning. The baby is crying for them
every day, and | don't know WHAT to
do. Can't we write to President Will
son, or Beatrice Fairfax, or somebody
and see if something can't be done
about it. think it's just horrid.
But we managed to live out the week
somehow, and then when we were rid
of the sound of the Garden song
hounds and the squawks from the gal
lery and the sausage statesmen in the
Garden cellar we rushed straight down
to our trusty typewriter and got ready
to write two columns of the very best
boxing news and notes we ever con-
ccivcd.
Just as our index finger was poised
above the palpitating keys the sporting
editor came over and growled: "What's
the big idea? What are you about to
perpetrate on an unsuspecting public
now?"
Boxing News and Notes." said we,
without batting our boyish blue eyes
"Why, we have been getting along
very we'll without them. In fact, sew
eral thousand subscribers have written
in this week saying they never saw
the sporting page looking SO we'll as it
had during the past week. But there,
don't feel SO cut up. We were to have
run an advertisement for firm sell
ing SOLID CONCRETE, but | guess
we can lift that out and put your
notes in that space. It's just the
place for them"
That's all-there isn't any more.

Now that the war is over, the Met
ropoitan Golf Association. at its an
nual meeting to-day, which is to be
held at the Office of Cornelius J. Sulli-
van. 81 Broadway, at D. m., will
doubtless decide to renew it's activities,
which were suspended when war was
declared. AS the same officers have been
renominated, it is more than likely,
IN case the championships are resumed,
that they will be given to the same
ubs selected for 1917. The amateur

championship to the Siwanoy Country

Each club in the association is en-

receive some attention among other
business to be brought before the

farming of players, said that at his
suggestion joint meeting of commit

go into the meeting prepared to show

Jake Daubert, first baseman of the

course so skllfully that the two barks
did not collide. Jake. of course. has
a suit against Ebbets for pay on an
ironclad five year contract, which in
the opinion of Squire Ebbets was cut
short by the early close in face of the
work or fight" mandate of last sum-
mer. If Jake wins this suit it is
cinch every major league player will
Immediately get busy in an effort to
collect the extra five weeks pay on last
years contracts.
1t is felt in some quarters that or
ganized baseball will never let the
Daubert suit go to trial. and it would
not be surprising to see a compromise
before the end of the week. Whatever
the result, it is sure Daubert is through
at Brooklyn. 1t was rumored yester-
day that McGraw will make an effort
to land Jake in case his difficulties with
the Dodgers are adjusted. McGraw

Injury to Peterson Sets
Back Columbia Mat Plans

Wrestling at Columbia received set
back yesterday. when Gus Peterson,
coach Of the team, fell heavily on the
mat with a student wrestler and had
his right leg so badly wrenched that it
may be several weeks before he is able
to get on his feet again.
1t has been planned to go ahead with
wrestling on the usual peace basis, and
Peterson had just begun to whip his
material together for team that will
take part in the intercollegiate cham
pionships and also the Amateur Ath-
letic Union national championships
next spring.
Peterson has drawn heavily on the
football squad for material for his
wrestling team. Fargo, centre Of the
eleven, and Canapery, a back, have both
reported, and Houlahan may also come
out if he does not fit into the basket
ball squad.
