SABBATH IN THE COUNTRY

 The creaking wagons in the shed
 The busy fail is heard no more; The horse is filtered down and fed, The harness hangs above his head,
 The whip behind the door, His Ieathern gloves and hooked bill
 Today the woodman throws aside; The blacksmiths fiery forge is still, The wooden wheel of the olden mill,
 Sleeps in the mill-dam wide. The mller's boat is anchored where,
 Far out the water lilies sleep; You see their shadows mirrored there, The broad white flowers reflected clear
 Within the mill pond deep. The harrow's in the garden shed,
 Hoe, rake and spade are put away, Unweeded stands the onion bed Fhe gardener from his work has fled,
 'Tis holy Sabbath day! Upon the wall inc white cat sleeps,
 By which the churn and milk pans lie; A drowsy watch the house dog keeps, And scarcely from his dull eye peeps
 Upon the passerby. And sweetly over hill and dale. The silvery sounding church bells ring; Across the moor and down the dale They come and go, and on the gale
 Their Sabbath tidings fling. From where the white washed Sunday school Peeps out between the poplars dim, Which ever throw their shadows cool Far out upon the rushing pool,
 You hear the Sabbath hymn.
 From woodland walks and winding ways The old and young, the grave and gay, Unto the old church come to pray,
 And sing Gods holy praise.

Yale Rowing Coach
Warns Undergrads
Against Movies

NEW HAVEN, March a.-Release
from the rigid military programme to
which Yale undergraduates have been
subjected for two years and a return
to college life. which allows late ris-
ing and liberal attendance at moving
pictures and similar entertainments,
has been followed at the university by
an increase in the number Of students
on probation in their studies
Professor Math.r Abbott, the crew
coach, has written a letter to the Yale
Daily News" appealing to the under
graduate to realize that the neglect
Of their opportunity is costing them
one of the most wholesome privileges
OF college life. the opportunity Of tax
ing part in intercollegiate sport, as
we'll as lessening the chances for vic
tory of the athletic teams.
Some faculty members favor sterner
and more immediate measures than
Professor Abbott. They would return
to the early rising military programme
Of the Reserve Army Corps to which
Yale belonged during the wer, and the
morning and afternoon military drill
for ergraduatcs who because Of
neglect of their studies and too lib
eral attendance at social and theatri-
cal affairs, have sunk so low in their
college scholarship standing as to be
deprived of membership on athletic
teams.
Professor Abbott's letter to "The
Yale News" called attention to the
fact that already, since the university
was reorganized on a collegiate basis
January /, the track, basketball, water
polo and rowing teams have suffered
because of the carelessness Of the un-
dergraduates in this respect.

Negro's Return
Report That Jack Johnson
Would Re-enter Ring Stirs
Up Very Little Inieres,
By w. @. McGeehan

Jack Johnson. former heavyweight
champion of the world, from whom
Jess Willard wrested he title, is re-
ported in Havana, eating chill and
breathing defiance Tho Hig Smoke
says that he is wanted for five big
matches. He is more cagcrly wanted
ty many United States marshals for
violations of the Mann act
The negro pugilist's hgntine activi
ties have been confined entirely to
the ring. He was citlzen of Paris at
the opening of the war. When he
learned that there was a possibility of
his being drafted into the French
army at the opening IT the war he
fled to Barcelona, Spain, where it is
reported that he became a toreador.
Inc negro fed the United States
shortly after his victory over James
j. Jeilrles, at Reno. Ihis victory made
nm undlsputcd heavyweight cham
ploh or the world He was held on
charges under the Mann act, when ne
Jumped his bail and fed to Paris.
" nile he was in exile, Jack Curley
and other promoters arranged a match
Tor MN with Jess Willard. The match
vas to have been held in Mexico, but
Johnson feared that he might be ex-
tradltcd and fled to Cuba.
Fortune for Jack
Inc match was finally held in Hav-
ana and Willard was the victor on
knockout. Many experts were dubious
concerning the fight. It is known that
j of
tarls and that he had something like
10000, while Willard returned to the
United States broke The promoters
cleared nothing on the fight itself.
According to reports, johnson now
claims to be in the be st Of condition
and is demanding a rcourn match with
Willard and u match with Jack Demp-
scy. Nobody will ta<e these claims
seriously. The negro also states that
ne VIII return to the United States
when the statute of limitations will
permit and challenge everybody. Even
should Johnson escape the clutches of
the law, it is improbable that any state
Will permit him to enter the ring
again. He is blamed for the senti-
mcnt against prize-fghting and boxing
which swept the country some time
back
At present there is only one pro
motor interested in Mexico. He is
Jimmy Coffroth, of San Francisco. who
owns the Tia Juana racctrack There
is possibility that Cof roth might
match johnson and Fulton there, but
the bout would hardly draW more than
q corporal's guard.
The big negro was perhaps The most
consummately clever Of all the heavy
weights. He also did laore to put
pugilism into disrepute thar any man
known in the game. Promoters resent
his return at the moment when such
strenuous efforts are being made TO
