Led q stormy Life.

Very likely Joe Lynch is going
to be as active champion as either
Dempsey OF Leonard even more
active because there are more con-
tendeps in the bantam class. Lynch
has been 4 natural fighter ever
since he punched his way through
the preliminary class, which didn't
take him long.
Joe has had a stormy life. Born
in New York in 1897. at 19 he was
beginning to topple over some Of
the best bantams in the profession.
Joe was clever, and most Of his
fights went ten rounds; but occa-
sionRlly he uncorked a punch tnaI
made his reputation jump. His first
big winning was in a six-round
fight with Kid williams. former
bantam champion. in Philadelphia
Joe astonished the sporting world
-oy knocking out Williams in the
fourth round.
A few months later he won a de-
cision from Dick Loadman, of Buff
falo, twenlve rounds. Later. when
Loadman had knocked out Johnny
Ertle in three rounds. Joe Lynch
and Loadman volunteered to fight
for nothing in the Army Athletic
Fund show at Madison Square Gar
den. July 16. 1918. They fought
whirlwind four rounds.
Lynch was then in Col. Fosters
regiment. and a week later was on
his way to- France. where he was
in the big American push and saw
real fighting.
In a recently held interalIied
tournament Lynch lost a four-roun
decision to Jimmy Wilde - and a
doubtful decision at that. After the
war he met Wilde again and evened
the score.

The Song of n Country Town.
The mocking bird entrances and the
thrush's song Is sweet;
The music of the meadows in the
Maytime's hard to beat;
The South Wind sings of roses,
but the fairest song l know
Is the jingle Jingle jingle OF the
bells across the snow.
Drifting light across the white
Phantom blossoms of the night,
Where the wind is ringing, sing
ing with an echo of delight;
And within the hearthlight's glow
As the shadows come and go,
Drifts the jingle jingle Jingle Of the
bells across the snow.
The poet sings of Maytime and the
melodies of June;
The singing streams of summer and
the silver ripples' tune;
The madrigal of morning when the
world is all aglow,
But for me the jingle-jingle Of the
bells across the snow.
BY the freside's CHEEKY light
" HtH NllC "OAAu Is III IL lAh "AASS
As the starless heavens shower
phantom blossoms of the night;
And in echo soft and low.
Like a song from long ago,
Comes the Jingle jingle Jingle Of the
bells across the snow.
Not Exactly.
"I have heard it said" writes a
fan, that the White SoX last season
would easily have been the greatest
ball club in the game IL the discred-
tied players had only been honest.
1t doesn't strike me they were quite
that good"
The White Sox, in their most hon.
est mood, were never as good a ball
club as the Cubs OF 1906 and 1907 or
the Athletics of 1910 and 1911.
Chance, Evers, Tinker and Stein
feldt-McInnis, Collins, Barry and
Baker; either Of these infields had
several shades on the White Sox
combinations, where only Collins
and Weaver were good ball players.
Ray Schalk Is a great catcher, but
so was Johnny Killing. The White
Sox outfield, with Jackson, Felsch
and Collins, certainly had nothing
on the Sheckard- -Hofman-Schulte
army.
And the old Athletic pitching COM
bination of e. Bender, Plank and
Coombs had a running jump on Cis
cote, williams. Kerr and Faber.
The White Sox at their best were
very good, but not the gres*est ma
chine in history by eight or ten
parasangs.

New National Agreement

Meetings.

CHICAGO, Jan. 9.-Tomorrow Chi

Eof baseball men from all over the
country for a series of meetings
between holders of minor and major
league securities for the purpose OF
accepting or rejecting the new ma

Judge Kenesaw Mountain Lands

governors, will be present, and il
Is expected that Ban Johnson will
be asked to explain some of his
recent bullish actions. A complaint
will be filed by Messrs. Rupert
Huston, COmiskey and Frazee, and
a fierce struggle between the con-
ftcting forces is anticipated.
Col. Huston, it was definitely

VIII Discuss Scandal.
Among the subjects to be dis
cUssed by the governors of the ma
JOr leagues are the speculative Op-
eratiOns Of the world series of 1919.
Court action was instituted here
several months ago against the par
ties accused of corrupt practices
and several indictments were re-
turned. 1t is now doubted that
those indicted can be prosecuted.
and some other action, it is be-
lteved, will be taken to remove the
stencil created by the practices of
those involved in the world series
scandal.

tiOnal League; Ban Johnson, pres
ident OF the American League. and

ent condition of baseball, making
plans for the immediate future and
considering steps which might pre-

The draft, long the bone of con-
tention in the world Of baseball,
it is felt. has attained the proper
tiOns of a serious menace. now
causing dissension among the mi
nors. and for the first time in the
history of baseball the major leagues
lind themselves beyond the zone of
action, spectators desirous of pre-
serving the peace.
Clubs Oppose Draft.
The International League and the
American Association are unequivo-
Cably opposed to the draft, but
most of the other minor leagues
believe it is an instrument which
operates to the mutual advantage of
all those concerned and affected
by it.
It was thought that the new ma
tiOnal agreement would obviate all
possible misunderstanding on the
subject Of the draft, but the agree
ment has not been ratified as yet,
and. in the meantime, certain COM
plications Of d confused character
have developed.

Difficulty of Delivering Beer Re

garded Bar to Large Transactions
Physical difficulties in the way of
delivery of beer for medicinal pur-
poses appeared today to autotmati-
cally forbid sale Of beer in any
quantity by drugglsts-theo only per-
sons authorized to sell beer on permit
under the prohibition regulations.
! Prohibition officials said a delega-
t1on of Washington druggists called
at the office of Commissioner Haynes
early in the week seeking reasons
why beer. instead Of being handled by
druggists. could not be sold to con-
sumers from breweries direct. They
were told that beer must be pur-
chased from druggists and must ac-
tually be on the premises when It IS
sold.
The question then arose as to stor-
age facilities for the large quantities
of beer, which it is believed will be
called for when it is made available
for sale.
no facilities for storage OF quantities
of beer, nor do they have men expert
enced in handling it.. They were told
that It is up to them to take care OF
beer sales and that brewers could not
sell beer direct to consumers under
the regulations.
Beer can be sold to consumers on
prescription from physicians to drug
gists. They would be approved and
signed by the druggist and then for
warded to the brewer, who would de-
liver beer In the amount called for
by the prescription. but storage of
large quantities of beer on druggists
premises is practically impossible. it
was pointed out.
The Abner-Drury Brewing Com
pany. it was learned today, is nearly
ready to apply for a permit to sell
beer on prescription to druggists. The
Christian Heurich Company also Is
