What's the use to be all one thing,
Be always in suspense,
And keep both eyes, as Dorothy does
On the items of expense?
What's the use?
What's the use ito get disgruntled,
Think all workmen are but fools,
And cast everything from US
AS Albert does tools:
What's the use?
What's the use to think we're clever
That other folks are dull,
Or that the bard at Hague
Is excelled by the one at Hull?
What's the use?
What's the use if you complain :,
About the way my pills are made
If you do not like the taste,
Fling box and contents down the

What's the use?

By Associated Prrss


 Los Angeles, January 6.-Miller Hug gins, manager of the New York Amer jeans, left for home today, announcing before his departure that he had closed with Babe Ruth to play with New York this year.
 Huggins said that he and Ruth had come to satisfactory terms, and every body concerned was satisfied. He de. clined to state just what sum was paid to the Boston club for Ruth, but said it was about s125, 900. Ruth, according to Huggins, had expressed his satisfac- ton with the change and said he would try to break his batting record this sea- son for New York.
 Ruth said he would not put on a Yan- kee uniform until he had received at least part of his purchase price.
 While admitting that he had te1e- graphed John Igoe, his business agent. that he would not play anywhere but in Boston, as reported by Igoe from that city. Ruth said he had no objec- tions to playing in New York.

BOXING ID BE PART OF YALE ATHLETICS Association to Be Formed. Nose King Will Be
 Instructor

The popularity which boxing enjoyed in the army and navy during the world war has led to decision by the Yale facu'sy to allow the organization of the sport along broader lines than heretofore. A boxing association is about to be formed and bouts will be held by the undergrad uates.
 It is uncertain whether matches v1th representatives of other colleges will be allowed or not, as the sport is not for- ganized among the eastern universit/es but 8 plan which has been discussed is that of having two or three-round bouts as intermisson events during the winter season. For instance, if a Yale-Prince- ton basketball game is scheduled 1t has been suggested that during the iTkAr- mission a three-round bout might be held between boxers of the two univer- sities.
 Moses King. the former Connecticut lightweight champion, will have charge of the boxing classes.

SCARCITY OF CADDIES

Golfers are looking forward to the ap-
 proach of the new season apprehensively all because of the prospective ''caddie'' shortage.
 Back in the old days, before everything took to airplaning, caddie boys were plentiful and could be hired for some thing like 50 or T5 cents for an 1S-hole iaunt. That was when office boys were
 getting A and s week-and congratu- lating themselves on their luck But ever since offices have been pay
 ing s10. SIP and s14 to boys for the mere performance of errand and routine chores, the one-time caddies have quit the links and jumped into commercial
 harness.
 All of which has created scarcity of
 caddies, even though their fees have been doubled and tripled. To lure enough boys away from these s10, sl2 and $14 office jobs with prospects of quick ad- vancement into higher paying positions is the job that confronts golfers in 1920. If they do it they perhaps will pay more per round than they paid for four or five rounds in the days before the war

RUTH'S ECO CAUSE Rv Assoetzted prSss

Boston. January 6.-The passing of Babe" Ruth, slugger extraordinary and pitcher plenipotentiary of highest degree, from the Boston Red Sox, to the New York Americans, for the largest sum of dollars and cents ever paid for any baseball player. was due to Ruth's ego, President Harry H. Frazee said to- day.
 q sold Ruth for the best interests of the Boston club" he explained. The Babe was not an influence for good
 or for team play. He thought only of himself, whether the question was one of breaking contracts or of making long hits"
 The Red Soxs president said he felt 1 the team as it stood today without Ruth and with certain prospective ad- ditions would be 25 per cent stronger. Two deals are pending, he added, both having IS their object an outfielder to take theplace which Ruth filled last year. F'razee said he was prepared to spend a large part of the money from the sale of Ruth to obtain the player wanted.

GREAT INDOOR SPORT
 Bv Assaciafpd Press

New York, January 6-The most pop- ular indoor sport in New York today was guessing how much the New York Americans paid for George H. (Babe) Ruth, the home-run king. The nearest approach to anything of an official na- ture was the smiling admission of Col. Jacob Ruppert, the Yankees president, that he understood an offer of $100,0 for Ruth was refused last summer by Harry Frazee of the Boston club. Sporting writers estimate the price paid from s125.000 to S150,000
 Followers of the national pastime re- called that it was not so many years ago the baseball world was staggered at the news that the New York Giants had purchased Rube Marquard for $11,- 900. Since then the sale of diamond stars has mounted even faster than the

The fans retaliated by boycotting the stadium. Hours before the doors of the arena opened groups of pickets paraded up and down in front of the Stadium and stayed there until the last bout was staged They warned away all who came to seek admission. And the result was a house that was almost empty; a few hundred spectators-many or them com pilmentary patrons-whereas fight stages at the old rates would have packed the Stadium to it's doors.
 FOOTBALLERS WHO PRAYED
 Center college, which created such 8 sensation in the football world of 1919, never sent it's team into battle until the whole school had gathered in prayer of supplication for the success of it's foot ball gladiators-
 Never did we pray quite so fervently as OF the day of the game with West Virginia" relates Dr. w. A. Garfield, president of the little Kentucky college. ''We all knew what mighty football pres- tige would be ours if we could only beat the husky mountaineers So the football lplayers, the other students and the fac ulty, as well as myself, invoked divine aid upon our efforts of the afternoon. And we won glorious victory"
 Bostan boxer named Paddy Duffy, who made a great reputation for himself in the sos, is really responsible for the birth of the welterweight rivision of pu- eilism-unknown or unthought of before his time.
 Duffy, fighting earlier as a light weight, eventually outgrew that class, beaming between 13S and Al. No light weights would mix it with him, and Duffy was too light to take on 15S-pound middleweights. So it looked as though he hwould have to quit the ring when Ed Blanchard, a noted sportsman of that time and a great adrnirer of Duffy, said:
 Lets start a new division in pugilism and call it the welterweight. with the maximum weight 142"

fighters in Duffy's plight. They well comed the new division of pugilism be- cause it mean. fights for them again and against battlers of their own bulk. Duffy took on most of the newly styled welterweights and was victorious in most of his battles.
 A year or so later Tom Meadows, an Australian fighter, arrived in Frisco He wanted to fight lightweights, but coudn't make better than 13S. So they wouldn't battle him Then Duffys packers got in touch with him, explained about the rew welterweight class and Meadows was matched to meet Duffy for the cham pionship.
 The international importance of the match gave it great publicity and as the result of that battle-which Duffy won the welterweight division got worldwide recognition.
