Why not have boxing classes for
boys in the graded schools OF this
country?
A few of the big colleges have
taken it up. and with success, but lit

and some high schools take 1t up ana

AMUSING INCIDENT IN
BIG GAME ON COAST

At times amusing incidents
creep into football game.
They relieve situations that are
tense.
In the California; washington
and Jefferson game at Pasadena
on New Years day the gridirOn
was covered with Shiny mud.
Before the game had gone five
minutes every player on the field
was covered with mud. The of
ficialS wore white shirts and
trousers. The players finally
got an idea-they began rush
ing up TO the officials. after
each play, and wiping their
hands over their white shirts
and trousers. Soon the officials
were plastered with mud

AMERICAN LEAGUE SUPERIOR
George StalIngs Offers Convincing
Argument Why Play Is Faster in
Young League

George Stallings, who has managed
teams in both the American and Ma
tional leagues, offers a convincing as
well as logical argument for the su-
periority that the American league has
established for years in most clashes
between the two leagues. "OutSide of
the New York club, no one owner in
the National league will spend money
for promising youngsters" says Stall
lings. 'All American league owners
are willing and anxious to bid for such
players. That is why most of them go
to the American league. That is why
the standard of ball is faster"

Virginia. Engle liked his looks and
asked the club president for a price
on him.
Here's q bill we owe that has just
come in and we're short of funds"
said the club owner. You pay this
bill and you can have Rice"
The bill was for $500, as Engel tells
it. The Washington clubs scout made
haste to pay it and claim Sam Rice
as his own.
He's the same Sam Rice who would
bring $4,000 or more on the baseball
market today.

HURST

After several generations of the
hot biscuit that several generations of
mothers used to make, and after a
Broadway chef with a salary twice
that of a college president had put
the Newburg in lobster, an entire IA
ton took to talking in its sleep and
showed a coated tongue. Gluten bread,
beef steak cubes, predigested tablets
and painless pastries began to figure
largely in street car advertising.
That dark-brown taste began to as
sumo national proportions.
Dietetics became a college elective.
The old Cadillac Springs house,
just ready to peter out in favor of ap-
pendicitis hospitals and neurasthenia
sanatariums, was suddenly bought up
by an Indianapolis promoting COM
pany and an eight-hundred Thousand
dollar eight-hundred-room hotel with
three miles of veranda and golf curse
rose from the wood ashes of the for
mer frame hostelry.
Cadillac Springs water, which had
probably for odoriferous and sodium
sulphatic con- gushed up and seeped
back into the floor of the mild old In
diana fiatlands, was suddenly piped,
analysed and advertised to the last
decillion of iron oxide and magnesi-
UNI carbonate.
Men who had long since ceased to
approach breakfast except as a spirit
ed horse is led blind-folded past a
steam roller, with quivering lips and
ready to take fright at a broken yolk
of the poached-on-toast or a tiny
brown stain beside the percolator,
learned here to linger over eggy
dishes and market quotations.
Thanks to the liver, life became
once more worth living, and the great
American porterhouse swan back into
favor on a sea Of best cooking butter.
Marcus Kessler, of Peoria, upon
whom a corn flake lay none too light
ly, retired fearlessly after three por-
tons of pudding a la Cadillac and a
very black demi-tasse. For the first
time in half a year of months, Mrs.
Kessler slept as sweetly as a night
nurse on duty.
As Mrs. Kessler rocked on the great
veranda her fingers flashed busily
through the ~intricacies of crochet,
sunlight teasing at her needle. A smile
out on her lips and a rose grew
in her pattern, and presently a sha-
dow lay across the lace and she
glanced up, still smiling.
Good morning, Mrs. Washauer!"
Good morning, Mrs. Kessler! l

Indeed, no! Since seven | been up

That's what a good night my husband

With a rustling of black taffeta into a
porch chair, laying her short arms out
'ull along the sides.

He rubbed his palms together as if
they were fabricated with the sweet
oil Of success, twirled thrice IN his
heels and swung himself p%erilously
atop the veranda rail, his legs twined
through the palings and lettering back |
and forward to maintain a balance.

Mr.. Gilly tossed his head until the
name of his hair fell over his eyes,
teetered backward for a breath-taking
moment, and swung to his balance.
