On Paragraphir1g

|NNE of Office boys says he wants to become
J paragrapher, or, more particularly, a sports
paragrapher, and he would like to know how to
set about it. Strange the fancies of youth There was
time when we believed could spend the remainder
of days contentedy and prosperousy if we could
own hand organ and monkey and pass the hat on
street Later into more dignified as
piratons and decided to become sreetcar motorman
though that too, cast aside for the minds eye
glories of operating drug store From that time we
possessed of many strange ambitions but none
can remember so prosaic as becoming sports para
grapher These modern day office boys don't seem to
use their imagination like those Of days agone.
Even so paragraphng, sports paragraphing, is
not necessarily the outcroppng of unstable or &C.
centric mind. To be the best sports paragrapher
we happen to know is left handed but you would never
suspect it until he begins to talk. Behold him in free
ringsde seat free grandstand chair and he looks
and acts whole lot like right handed people and non
photographers. Probably it is merely coincidence and
his left handed tendencies have no vital influence upon
his superiority sports paragrapher.

Bout tCalledOff
By Col. Miller

CHICAGO, May 10.--Colonel j. C.
Miller. manager of the proposed heavy
weight championship fight between Jess
Willard and Fred Fulton on July A. to-
night called off the bout because he
found public sentiment opposed to it.
Both Willard and Fulton have been
notified of his decision. Colonel Miller
announced. Willard in a statement is
sued tonight declares that he will
abide by Miller's decision. Fulton is
in California. He was notified bv tele-
graph.
"Finding public sentiment in opposi-
tion to the proposed worlds heavy

pion Jess Willard and Fred Fulton on
July A." Colonel Miller said in his
statement, 81 have called off the bout.
"1t was my first effort in the promo

part 1T was craftsmanship that prompt

for the purpose of staging cham
pionship, and were it not for the fact
that sentiment is against it, due to

planned"
Willard, in announcing his decision
to abide by Miller's decision, says that
he is ready to fight any time public
sentiment indicates that there should
be a championship battle. His state
ment follows:
"At the solicitation of Colonel Miller

Crews Pinned
For Yale-Penn
Races To-day
Visitors Cover Henley Course
on Schuylkill in Fast
Time

PHILADELPHIA, May l0.Yale and
Pennsylvania crews had their final
hard workouts day in preparation
for the varsity and freshman races on
the Schuylkill River here late to-mor-
row afternoon. The Yale varsity work,
while not as smooth as that OF the
freshmen, was powerful, and they shot
over the Henley course in what was
called "fast" time.
"That is fine crew said Joe
Wright. coach OF the Pennsylvania
oarsmen, who followed the New Haven
men up the river to show them the
course.
The Pennsylvania crews took things
little easier. as they arc IN fine con-
dition and know the course thoroughly
A general change in the varsity crew
was made necessary by the departure
for war service within the last few
days OF Weir and Robinson, two of
Yale's strongest oarsmen. The fresh
man eight, according to Coach Abbott
is as fast as any class crew Yale has
ever turned out.
The varsity race will be rowed at
$3.50 o'clock. 1t will be preceded by
the freshmen contest, which will start
about 4:30.
From all appearances the Red and
Blue will undoubtedly have their hands
full in their efforts to bring home the
bacon, for Coach Abbott's proteges
showed excellent form in their prac-
tice. Not only did they swing we'll to-
gether, but from the run" they got
out of the boat it is apparent that
their stroke has great power behind it.
Yale still sticks to the English style
of rowing, using tholepins instead of
swivel locks, such as are used by the
Quaker paddlers.
The Yale varsity have the advantage
when it comes to the weight question,
as they average ITO pounds to man,
while the Red and Blue can boast only
of averaging 164 pounds.

Through a Monocle

WHAT the paragrapher doesn't get in pay he
w more than makes up in general superiority to-
ward mankind. We don't know where most para
graphers born, but all of them were undoubtedly
reared on the shores Of Lake Superior Inasmuch as
the paragrapher deals only with the elementary
and accepted of figures and facts he can afford to look
at the world through monocle He can so to speak,
usually afford it much easier than he can new straw
hat.
1t is this quality of complacent superiority in the
paragrapher that gets the other fellows goat The
paragrapher is we'll of this fact and he lays it on
thcky. Napoleon, they say, rather superior in
dvidua and if this is it is probable that at one time
or another in the Corsicans he did paragraphs
for somebody.
Baseball stories and dramatic criticism are really
exalted paragraphng. If dramatic critic in his OPEN
ing sentence can knock show fiat it's back he is
fairly happy and superior for the remainder of the
week. baseball reporter would rather pull new line
on losing pitcher than open jackpot on a set of
fours The trouble with dramatic critics and baseball
writers is that they cannot always think of something
smart to say and consequently forced to serious
discussion of technique and FORM which represents the
best thought of the best thought of the best thought
that was expressed back in the year of the big wind
