Harry Hooper is back in his home in California and,, according to his own announcement, has played his last game in the major leagues. Hooper has been with the Boston Red SoX for ten years and has never played with any other professional club un- der the national agreement, and he thinks he's getting too old for the game. Besides this, Harry is of the opinion that there will be a great change in the national pastime, as far as players salaries are concerned. He thinks salaries are going to be very low, and furthermore, he has busi- ness of his own which he expects will grow so that he will have to devote his entire time to it. Hooper has al- ways been a great favorite with the Boston fans and they look upon his retirement with many regrets.

In the one day tournament held there yestefday by the Women's Met ropolitan Golf association no one of tn contestants could get under 100, The best card returned was 109-8, 101, by Mrs. Philip Boyer of Piping Rock, and it led for both gross and net.
 Because only 16 of the holes are in commission, the 18th and 17th not be- ready, the women replayed the first and home holes in order to make the circuit.

JEM MACEs FIRST VICTORY.

Jem Mace defeated Slasher Slack in nine rounds at Mildenhall, Eng land, 63 years ago today, Oct. 2, 1855, this cling the first of Mace's long series of victories which made him the champion of the world and the greatest boxer of his time. About four years before his encounter with Slack he had met Licker Pratt in the ring, but Pratt was an experienced fighter and much heavier than Jem, and the latter got a good trouncing. Before that time Mace had travelled over England playing the violin and giving sparring exhibitions at country fairs, and his experience with Pratt did not encourage him to keep on as a pugilist Several years passed be- fore he again fried his luck in the arena, and his victory over Slack de- termined him to take up fighting as a profession. Mace had gypsy blood in his veins, although he was not a full-blooded son of Romany, as has been alleged. Small for heavyweight, his science and skill enabled him to maintain for long time his supre- macy among the big fellows of Eu- rope and America.

FOLD" FRED CLARK's BIRTHDAY


 You all remember Fred Clarke, the former pilot of the Pirate craft! Well, Fred will celebrate his 46th birthday tomorrow and thousands of fans all over the country as well as his former associates in the national pastime, will give him a kindly thought Fred retired as skipper of the Pirates at the end of the 1915 sea- son, after having guided their destin- ies for 16 years. Since that time he has been devoting himself to his rich and productive farm of 10000 acres in Kansas Incidentally, he held the long-distance record for the manager ship of one team, until the beginning of this season, when his laurels were taken over by Connie Mack, who took charge of the Athletics in 1901, hay ing completed IT seasons with the Philadelphia aggregation.
 Fred Clarke is a native of Iowa, having been born in Madison county, in that state, on Oct. 3, 1872. He started his career driving @ delivery wagon for a Des Moines grocer at $30 a month. He landed the job in the strength of his baseball talent, for the grocer was fan, and his son was was the pitcher of a "kid" nine called the Mascots. The club needed good second baseman who could hit, and Fred qualified for the place. He had his Saturday afternoons off to play ball. He made his first money from baseball with the semi professional club of Carroll, la, which paid him $30 a month. In 1892 he landed a better job with Hastings, in the Ne braska League, where he made his professional debut as a backstop at $50 a month. From there he went to St. Joseph at $125 a month. He next played in the South, with Memphis, Montgomery and Savannah, and in 1894 he was purchased by Louisville, then in the National League. It was just 25 years ago that he made his start in the main show, and he re- mained there until his retirement from the game.
 When he took charge of the Pirates in 1900 the club finished second, and it won the pennant three consecutive seasans thereafter. and again In 1909

Judging from the countless prepa-

Thinness and weakness are usually
due to starved nerves Our bodies

SEEKS SITE FOR LEPER
COLONY In WEST TEXAS

Austin. Tex. Aug. 12-Dr. ". B.
Collins. state health officer has gone
to west Texas, where he will make
an inspection Of a probable site for
the establishment OF a leper's colony.
as is provided by an act passed at the
regular session Of the 35th legisla-
ture. This law carries an appropria-
ton OF $685. and provides for the
establishment OF such a colony some
where in the western portion of
Texas. anywhere between San Antonio
and FL Paso.
The selection Of a site is not such
an easy matter as may be imagined,
as citizens generally over the state
do not desire such a colony estah-
lished in their immediate vicinity. It
is possible DR.. Collins will be able
to find a site which will be several
niles away from any habitation. An
other difficulty is that OF water and
transportation facilities. As soon as
the site has been selected and pur-
chased plans are to be prepared for
the building Of the institution.
