New York - Maybe the unusually
strenuous or at least choatic days
we have ben living lately account for
the rush of people who want to live
all alone on an island all summer,
with nobody whatever within the cir
Gle of the horizon except sea-gulls.
Whatever the cause, there certainly is
a large hermit-minded population
among us. The other day this adver-
tisement appeared in a New York
morning paper:
Wanted - A man to live alone Oh
an island; inland lake; eight miles
from shore; transportation, food, shell
ter, boat etc., furnished; no work; no
compensation. Address Summertime,
600 Tribune Building, New York
Sixteen hundred men applied for
that payless-all alone job! And they
weren't tramps, "down-and-outers'
They were all sorts, able, outstanding
college men for a great part. A Harv-
ard graduate was finally chosen for
the Job. Edward Hatch, Jr., who owns
Four Brothers Island, near Burling,
VT, placed the ad. The island is a
breeding place for sea-gulls and Mr.,
Hatch is tremendously interested in
their welfare. To protect the eggs,
and save the young from destruction
by vandals who visit the island, he has
constituted himself protector of the
breeding ground, and for nine years
has procured a warden for the sum-
mer months. But never before were
so many anxious for the job. Among
the applicants weer naturalists, law
yers, poets, artists, authors, ex-sol-
diers. sailors and ornithologists.
Daylight saving time serves some
one besides the golfers, after all the
lovers George Manning went to court
, the other day about dispute between
himself and his niece who lives in his
home owe rthe proper hour for ones
best young man to bring his evening
calls to an end Its this ways Sale
Mr.. Manning, "My niece has her fellow
in the parlor until close to IL o'clock
say II is the limit. Are you speak
ing of standard time or daylight saw
ings?" asked the judge. The uncle ad
mitted that he had been counting
counting hours as well as others &C
cording to daylight savings time' ant
the judge decided that so old-fashionet
matter as that should be controlled
by old-fashioned time. So it will b.
II standard time or II daylight say

Commissioner Gallatin. The high NOR

Heavy Foot Ball
Schedules Will
Hasten Training
Coaches of All Big Universe
ties and Colleges Preparing
to Mobilize Players
Early.

New York, Aug. 20.-With some
thing approaching nip in the air the
foot ball coaches are beginning to
look forward to their early practice,
especially as many of the schedules
are unusually heavy this year. Pitts
burgh usually gets under way little
ahead of most other institutions, 60
ing up into the hills for three weeks
or so of fundamental drill, so that
the Pitt Eleven customarily takes
the field a shade more advanced
than most teams. This year Columbia
will not be far behind Buck O'Neill,
the head coach, will have as, an
assistant this season, Joe Brooks,
who made reputation at Williams,
and is one of the best line coaches
in the country.
At Williams Brooks had very
light material, but he was always
able to produce a set of forwards
that had a terrific charge. Columbia
also will have in the foot ball
menage, charley Barrett, VINO loi
more than 20 years was the trainer
at Williams.
The project Of sending the Yale
team to Gales Ferry for practice
seems never to have been entertained
seriously, or to have fallen through.
Yale can develop kickers right in
New Haven, however, for in'Dr. Bill
ly Bull the Blue has one of the great
est kicking coaches in the country.
DR.. Bull can be depended upon every
wear to turn out a couple of long
distance punters and at least as
many dependable drop-kickers. -.
Yale, Harvard, Rutgers, Columbia
and in fact every college of any
standing in the east, seems to have
some pet scheme on tap that is CIV
ing its followers something to talk
about.

Advent Of Tricky Australian
Golfer Causes Many Freak Shots
And Oddities to Be Recalled

New York, Aug. l5.-(Special.)-
Ed Sullivan says that the advent OF
Australian Joe Kirkwood and his
kitful OF assorted trick shots has set
the eastern golf area abuzz with
"reminiscences of freak shots that
have occurred on local and semi local
courses during the past few years.
Grizzled old pros and veteran
amateurs alike are scraping their
memories for golf oddities they have
witnessed.
Recently, at the Siwanoy club,
where the metropolitan open was
played, a group OF old-timers were
discussing kirkwood's wizardry with
the clubs. One ventured the opinion
that the Australian player was the
greatest trickster the game has ever
known. 1t was bitter pill for these
veterans to swallow, this admission
that the halcyon days of yore had
failed to produce the equal of the
Antipodean marvel, but the asser-
ton gained the assent of them all.
One pro recalled Willie Anderson,
four time winner of the national
open, as the first really expert trick
player. Anderson, now deceased,
startled the golfing world upon his
arrival in this country by playing
balls off the necks of bottles and the
faces of watches. The clever Scot
alternated these exhibitions by play
ing mashie shots into a given cir
Gle or area and whenever he played
at a course he was always compelled
to show his wares to an admiring
audience. He was the predecessor
OF the Australian.
Since his time several trick play
ers have attained prominence. Mac
Donald Smith, brother of the veteran
Aleck, who is now playing sensa-
tional golf on the Pacific coast, was
one of these.
Macdonald on one occasion, was
playing with Henry ]. Topping at
Apawamis. He wagered he could
play his second shot, full iron, to
the green and within 10 yards OF
any spot on it that Topping would
designate. Topping agreed; one OF
the caddies was sent ahead to place
his hat on the green, and Smith
dropped his ball directly into it.
On another occasion Smith, after
finishing a round at Greenwich, was
sitting on the piazza when friend
ly argument developed as to his
ability to loft a mashie-niblick shot
as high as the eagle adorning the
flagpole adjacent to the clubhouse.
Teeing his ball 20 yards from the
base of the pole, Smith essayed the
feat and on the very first attempt
hit the wooden bird.
Gene Mccarthy, pro at the Jack
sonville (Fla.) club, was playing
with a member, and at one of the
short, blind holes on the Jackson
vile course when he drove, and his
high mashie pitch hit a crow Cir

Doors of Fistiana
Closed on Johnson

New York, Aug. 20.-Now that
Director of Public Safety Cortelyou
of Philadelphia has declared that he
will not permit Jack Johnson to box
Harry Wills or any other man at
any of the clubs in Philadelphia, it
looks as if Johnson had better give
up all ideas of fighting in this coun-
try. Besides being barred in Phila-
delphia, the bars are also up against
him in the states of New Jersey and
New York, where he had expected
to make money by battling the big
fellows. Evidently the only thing
that johnson can fight now is the

that if they do not want the ball
knocked over their heads. 1t goes
with such a swift flight that if they
stood where they stood last year they
would be chasing extra base hits
all the time.
More and Longer Hits.
"!As it is, great number OF hits
get away from us, no matter where
we stand. You will notice that many
long drives are made between the
center fielder and right fielder.
Fans are blaming lot OF in
fielders for missing balls that sail
over them; they are panning the out
fielders for not catching those short
flies.
They are not remembering that
the outfielders are so far back that
it is comparatively simple now for
sliced fly to come down between
the outer and inner defenses and
hop away for extra bases.

it is almost hopeless to nail run

"Yes," Clipped in Thomas Grit

for not throwing when we would be
foolish to throw. A fan does not
notice that we are so or 40 more
feet deeper than we played i'll other
years.
The fan sees a single come to
right with a man on second and
wonders why we do not succeed
when we heave to the plate, or
gives us the hoot when we do not
throw and fail to nail the runner,
