MARY had a little lamb,
Its fleece was white as snow,
And every pound of wool it grew

Not very good poetry; it it? But
it's just poorly written version of

In the summer of 1918 a number
of Red Cross sheep grazing on the
lawn around the state capitol build
ing caused great deal of comment
They were no ordinary sheep, It
might be added, and they came of
the aristocratic family of sheep
known as Red Cross sheep
The sheep were sold and Mrs

took the sheep home. Its name was

and before very many days the wool
that had so recently decorated the
backs of Mary and Lottie was being
spun into yarn.
Mrs. Johnson is now knitting warm
SOCKS, coy mittens, scarfs and many
other garments. The wheel with
which the yarn was spun by Mrs
Johnson also has a delightful story
back of it. 1t is more than AZ years
Denmark, and brought over to this
Old and was made in Copenhagen,
country. The carders which are
used by Mrs. Johnson were made at
the same time that the wheel was
fashioned.
The spinning wheel is very small
and delicate looking but very dur
able as 1t is so we'll made. 1t is a
great curiosity to all the callers at
the Waldrip and Johnson home and
Mrs. Johnson usually demon
strates' her spinning wheel. 1t is
run by foot pedal.
The sheep were sold during the
last summer but their wool is still
being spun and transformed into
many useful knitted garments.

AIM AT UNIFORMITY
 IN BOXING RULES
International Sporting Club Off-
 CialS at Work on Code

New York Nov. S.-The Interna- tional sporting club, the most preten- tious organization of the kind ever launched in this country. one of the objects of which Is to bring about worldwide uniformity of boxing rules and weights, made a. satisfactory start yesterday afternoon when the rules and weights committee of the club held it's first meeting at club head quarters, $40 Madison avenue.
 While no decisive action was taken at this meeting, tho subject of rules and weights was thoroughly discussed and plans laid for the formulation of regulations designed to control the sport all over the world. To this end a subcommittee composed of Charles J. Harvey, Tex O'Rourke, Jack Kelly and C. F. Mathison was appointed to complete a draft of tentative rules and submit them to the entire com mlttee next Friday afternoon
 Those who attended the meeting were the chairman, Dr. Joseph E.
 Raycroft, who was at the head of army athletic activities during the war; Capt. Jack Gleason, a sporting
 man Of national reputation; Charles Thorley, boxing enthusiast; Charles J. Harvey, former secretary of the New
 ! eLh pOAlHS commissions: Tex
 O'Rourke, an expert in physical con- ditioning; George Dwyer. American representative of Jimmy Wilde; Jack Skelly, former featherweight boxer and writer. While differences of opinion arose as to many points, yet there Is reason to believe that the members of the committee will come to d general agreement and that the result will be
 a set of much needed rules and scale of weights that will be enforced.

SIX BARTON SHOWS
 VAST IMPROVEMENT
With Hummer in Saddle, Ross
 Entry TriuInphS at Plmllco

Baltimore, Md, Nov. S.--Slr Barton easily beat The Porter, Billy Kelly and Iuc1lllitC at weight for age III the Serial Handicap No. , at the i1mllrt track yesterday. His victory was in striking contrast to the race he ran on Wednesday, when he was beGtcn a dozen lengths by Mad Halter 9vCr the mile and a quarter route. on that occasion he carried l32 pounds. Nes- tcrdav he shouldercd 120 pounds. This difference of twelve pounds in his fa- vor and the improvem ent in the track probably were responsible for his form reversal.
 Johnny LoftuS rode Sir Barton when he was beaten by Mad Halter and BrideSman and kept the great Ross colt in the heavy going next the rail throughout. Yesterday Hummer had the leg up on Sir Barton and he rode a perfect race.
 Sir Barton, under Hummer, had speed to give away yesterday. He made all the running and dominated the situation from the start to the finish. Only once was there the slightest doubt in the minds of the spectators as to the winner. That was when The Porter moved up to Sir Barton for a brief period rearing the turn for home. Sir Barton step ped the first quarter in 24 seconds the half in IS 2-5, the six furlongs in 1:42 2-5 and the mile in 1:40. The track was not really fast, but if had a good firm foundation. His victory, by two lengths, under the cirCum- stances, was distinctly high class
 Lord Brighton, Mad Halter and Tip pity Witchet were withdrawn, which left the Ross pair, Sir Barton and Billy Kelly, to fight it out with The Porter and Lucullite. It was an open betting race, with the patrons of the track supporting Lucullite and The Porter The admirers of the Ross stable would not desert Sir Barton and Billy Kelly.

LITTLE CHANCE FOR l THIRD BIG CIRCUIT
American League Triumbirate COnfideDt Johnson Will Have to to

New York, Nov. S.-Whilc there is no doubt that Charles Comisl1ev. e1arr> Frazec ;tnd Col Ruppert stand oady to launch a third major league 5eS last resort to eliminate Ban RohnSon from baseball, there is little lkeHhood of any such thing taking folace. Future events very likely will prove that the American league tri- pmVlrate-Comiskoy Ruppcrt aud tfazee-not only will beat Johnson thc courts but will beat him in ls own league. It is d. known fact
 mat the triumVirate has several aces TIP It's sleeve to play at the annual |neetlnS Of the American league. Facts SNlll be brought forth then that will pause a wholesale depletion in the 3anlfs of the Johnson supporters The strings with which Johnson holds at least two of the clubs now Supporting him arc very slender and hay even break before the big pres &ure is brought to bear next month. #ohnson fast is reaching the end of his rope and only bluff and brag- Eadocto is enabling him to keep a front. He is giving a semblance of his old time fight, but the punch is missing. Tn the big test Johnson was 3lOt Dlg enough to realize ms mistake Ind mend his fences.
 Though the making public of theN names of Gen. Coleman du Pont,
 Harry Sinclair, Commander J. k. l..
 Ross, Edsel Ford and Price MCkin-
 ley, who are reported willing to join 8he triumvirate in the formation of
 new league with new teams in
 Cleveland and Detroit and the addi- Hon of Montreal and Pittsburgh to he triumvirate'S clubs in New York,
 chicago and Boston was unauthorized,
 is known that several of them are
 ot unwilling to break into baseball. &t only will be as a last resort, how #ver, that Comiskey. Ruppert and 3Nrazee will have any part in the dis &ntegrating of the present circuit.
 Those in position to know say there Mvill be no reason for 1t.
 A significant fact about the situa- #on is that Montreal men, said to be
 lacked by Commander J. K. l., Ross,
 kere in the field for an International
 eague franchise but withdrew their
 fer two days before the recent In
 Bernational league meeting at the
 biltmore. From that it Is to be
 leaned that Ross in the interim de-
 ided to gun for bigger game. Base
 all men say that Montreal offers far
 etter major league prospects than
