path several feet away.
I've often heard the question ask
ed. who is the best open field run
ner In Wilmington? Gillespie OF
Defiance tops the list. He employees
the criss-cross style bathing taolSlers
completely without checking his
speed. Lowell, another Bulldog ranks
with those at the top. He achieves
unusual results without extreme
speed. Hayes OF Parkslde uses a hip
action that seems TO carry his body
out of danger and IS one Of the hard
est 70 down.
MONTH OF the Cats is extremely
fast and shifty. Shaal and Doherty
of Diamond State are also good.
Shaal Is much sought after because
OF his wonderful foot action while
under full steam, and Doherty Is az
hard 20 catch as a runaway horse.
Burke and Reese OF Salesianum
rank high. Burke achieves results
more by Sheer starting speed and
determination than by broken feld
work. Reese with his snake ike runs
should be a world heater II injuries
do not cramp his style.

NEW YORK, Nov. s.-Onited

petty larceny and grand larceny
managers william Muidoon, chair
man Of the New York Boxing COM
mission. breaks out with a novel
idea.
Muldoon would give all the man.
ayers the air and let the Commission
handle their affairs.
He thinks well OF plan 20 have
4 booking Office in the headquarters
OF the commission where boxer
could register for work.
Five per cent. OF the boxers purse
would be exacted as a commission
for the expenses OF maintaining the
employment agency.
Il sounds fine and the theory f.
we'll intended, but It never would
work.
There are some managers who
would benefit the sport by accepting
the gate but there are many others
who are OF more credit TO the game
than lot Of the boxers.
Good management IS a tremend-
1us factor in the success Of a young
boxer. The mentality OF the aver
age fighter is not geared high
enough TO handle his own affairs
As a rule the boxers are poor bust
ness men and even IL their man
ayers didn't get a big cut OF their
money the promoters would.
The commission has tried to place
a limit on the percentage which
manager can demand from the earn
ings OF his charge; but It did not
work out.
For FORMS sake a manager can
file a contract with the commission
showing that he is asking only 10
per cent. for his share, but he can
have an outside agreement standing
for another 40 per cent.
Many managers have only YER
bal agreement with their boxers.

said to work on a $3.50 agreement
but they have nothing but a verbal
understanding. Billy Gibson and

went at them and soon had them

passengers he would be able to ar

to have a special boat take the stud

Battle-AXe Editor,
Dear Slr-The passing years are
supposed TO bring about improve
ment and when It comes to artful
lodging on the field, this season is
wen ahead of the past, especially
in Wilmington. Dodging is an art
that few develop. There are few
true dodgers who can hold their
speed, as they shift like shad ows

stride of a football runner carrying
the bail Is feet. This shows the

Snearhead Fire Basket.

One OF the art magazines of the cur
rent month gives an interesting
treatment of an ugly CRATE fireplace
in the living hall of country home
which was remodeled for modern
uses The fireplace was torn away
for the entire space occupied by the
ornate mantel. \ stone shelf on
stone brackets was laid at the top
OF the bricks, which taking away the
mantel left exposed These bricks
were treated just enough to remove
the toughest parts and were careful
ly pointed. Instead Of an oval, the
space for the fireplace was made
square and instead Of the hanging
plain barred CRATE, a fire basket of
wrought iron. with rough spearheadS
set in the base, was placed In the
opening Chimney arrangements were
not changed, and draft properties
Of the fireplace were unimpaired. The
effect was surprisingly good.

WHEEL LONG USED
Has Been Known to Men Since
the Earliest Times.
Abundant Proof That Invention Was
by No Means New Some Thou
sands of Years Ago.

Father" said little William, "who
Invented wheelsl"
Wheels were invented by" here
father paused 10 consult the encyclo-
pedia.
Jumping Jimmy! This youngster had
struck the weakest link I'm the whole
chair of mechanical knowledge. Even
the erudite compiler of facts had
lodged that query Ii is riddle that
has never been solved.
What next? Well, father remem-
bered that Homer thousands Of years
ago had written upon the subject. He
was astounded 10 discover, however
that wheels running upon fixed axles
and removable at pleasure were just
us well known To Homer as they are
10 the owner Of the fiiyVer of today.
He tells us In his description Of a
chariot that while Juno was giving
the biz 10 the horses Ilebe fastened
the wheels 10 the iron aXleS. "These
wheels had eight braZen spOles and
the felloes We're of gold and the tires
of brass"
All the epithets that could convey
an idea of swiftness were exhausted
by Homer on the chariots of his time,
SO that the wheel, running indepen-
IDENTITY upon fixed axle. could hardly
have been n new invention even then,
observes a New York sun writer.
The spinning wheel has evolved into
the sewing and weaving machines and
the automobile has taken the place Of
the chariot, but this principle OF the
wheel has been retained in each. Still
there must have been an intermediate
step before the wheel ran independent
~ Of the axle. No doubt the first axle
and pair of wheels We're gouged out
OF an immense tree and were all In
one piece Before that people dragged
their loads. That absurd rolling
thing" must have been a great step
in progress In that day.
The next step may have been the
result of inspiration rather than In
vention. Perhaps some chariot racer
on one of the racetracks Of city
more ancient than ancient Troy, fired
by genius and the desire 10 cash Il
winning bet, suddenly hit upon the
idea that wheel that turned and an
axle that stood still was just the
proper caper
How the bookmakers OF those days
must have laughed when they viewed
the sorry nag which he had purposely
harnessed up 10 disguise the larceny
Of his intentions. Confident of their
knowledge of the comparative value
OF everything In the horse line, they
probably nudged each other as he
showered his gold upon them, inquir
ing OF him sarcastically If he got II

the remark was about TO recoil upon
themselves. what howl they must
