English golf authorities have de- cided that sheep grazing on a golf course do it no particular good, even though they do it no particular harm, and accordingly all of the leading English courses have removed the sheep. The placing of sheep on golf courses has never been popular in this country. A few years ago number of sheep were placed on the Baltrusol course but it was found they did more damage than good, and they were withdrawn immediately.
 Calesthenics are playing an irnpor- tant part in the preseason work of the Philadelphia Athletics.

First of Barons Haue Arriued in Town

(This is the second of a series ar
 ticles which deal with the ring career
 of lem Belcher, the goth heavyweight
 champion of the world.)
 Jem Belcher was one of the most active of the old time ring champions. This was due to two reasons. Pri-
 marily, he was a fighting man who loved nothing more than Eng actitity. Secondarily, ther was in Nhe British Isles at the time many fistic perform CTS who had the idea that they could whip the champion.
 The first real battle which Belcher fought in defense of title was against
 Andrew Gamble This youthful husky l was champion of Ireland and had
 whipped dozen of the greates glad iators in Erin. He challenged Belcher for $500 side bet and the result was
 their matching for a contest which was staged December %, 1890 on Vim bledon commons.
 GAMBLE OUTCLASSED Gamble lasted ust nine minutes be- ] fore the furious Belcher onslaught. He was reckoned as a great fighter in his own country-and his friends backed him for more than $100,0 900. But he was just a novice when faced by Belcher and was really whipped WltH tIle IeW punches. put pN d SpieA- did show of gameness Gamble lasted nine minutes before he was knocked unconscious,

PILLS SETTLE DOWN
 ID SEASONS GRIND
Gravy Cravath Leads Hopefuls Out for First
 Day of Practice

With friendly sun beaming down upon his efforts. and gentle southern breeze ito temper the weather conditions, Gavvy Crsvath has successfully launched his 1920 spring framing season. Early yesterday morning Cactus lined his hopefuls up, and sallied forth to Redwood Field, where. with traditional gravity, the first ball of the season was tossed out and as eagerly snapped up by the bowling mob O. candidates.
 Despite the fact that dark hints re- garding wearing toii with medicine ball, and dull setting-up exercises have been circulating around camp, Gavvy pulled the somewhat unexpected and failed to put his players through any such calis- thenics at all. On the contrary. he set tied right down to baseball. and. dis regarding gymnasium antics, set his play CTS to tossing baseballs around. He seems to be firm believer in the theory that baseball is baseball, and conditions his squad accordingly.
 The whole gang is in now, with the exception of Emil Meusel former Baron ial outfeider, who went up to the big top a couple of seasons ago, and one or two recruits Some prodigal ones reported to Gavvy Sunday night, and after re. ceiving the paternal blessing, were tuned
 into the fold.
 Gavvy NCravath seems to have no kick to make regarding the weather condi- tic ms in BiriningffIm. He expressed him. self as perfectly satisfied with the way things are turning out, and stated that if he has no worse luck during the re- mainder of March than has already at tended his efforts, he will be as happy as is possible for any baseball manager to me. However considering that March weather is the most unreliable thing in all the universe, Gavvy, course, is looking for some adverse days.
 With the squad under the expert su- pervisioa of Trainer George Miller, Gavvy is looking for a very successful spring training season this year.

utilizing the first four rounds more for the purpose of getting a line on Berks than in an effort to whip him. But in the fifth Belcher got under way and from then on had an easy time of it, and knocked out Berks in the sixteenth round after twenty-five minutes of fighting
 POLICE RAID FIGHT
 Almost immediately after the fight had ended the police swept down up- on the scene. Belcher escaped, but the bleeding and battered Berks could mot make his getaway. He was ar rested, taken to jail, tried and sem fenced to four months imprisonment. Upon his release Captain Fletcher Reid matched him for another fight with Beleher to take place on June I17, 1902.
 However. the police again interfered and the fight date was postponed. The men met county fair in August and so bitter was the feeling between the two that they took off their coats and started a brawl hen and there. Friends stopped the fight before it had gone very far, but as an after math the two men agreed to fight the next day, at sunrise, for a purse of s15o of which s12S was to go to the winner.
 On August 20. 1902 they met for the Berks so terrible a beating that in the thirteenth round Berks pleaded with bis seconds to surrender for him For answer, they stuffed handker- chief in his mouth to stop him from further winning" They sent Berks to the center of the ring for the four teenth round but he collapsed after two punches-and once again Belcher demonstrated his superiority as champion. |, (The third and concluding install ment of the Belcher series will appear in the column tomorrow.)

Menace
Is Moving East

Japan is taking steps to halt the adj
vance of the reds before it reaches the
very threshold of Manchuria and the
island empire itself.
Among the ignorant masses both of
China and India there is great oppor-
tunity for the bolsheviki to spread
their doctrines, and if these countries
embrace the propaganda, the sequel
will be written in the bloodiest chap
ter in history.
But it is not against Asia merely
that the bolshevists are plotting. An
invasion Of Europe is among their
plans. All recent developments indi-
cate that it is the program Of the
reds to bring military pressure to bear
against the Baltic provinces, Poland
and the new nations which the Yer
sailles conference has been erecting in
central Europe and that the soviet
military machine will this year be
hurled against that front.
1t is idle, nay, it is criminal to talk
of peace while bolshevism remains in
Russia, ever threatening to spread its
accursed cult throughout the world.
