J. D., JR. HAS
 TIDY INCOME

NEW YORK, Apr1 9.-The hold ings of John D. Rockefeller, Jr.. in the various Standard Oil Companies, made public in an analysis of testi- mony of a recent inve5tibation in the Senate. show that the Grown Prince of the oil industry has an annual income of approximately $l2,- 900 ,000 from this source alone.
 The present market value of these holdings of young MT. Rockefeller is approximately $4l0000,O00.
 What the income of the venerable golf player of Pocantico Hills is can net be estimated, as this information was not given out, but the senior ROckefcller's share is undoubtedly much greater than that of his son.
 John D. Rockefeller, Jr., holds only 2,261,1 shares of the stocks of the Standard Oil Company of New ter sey, which is about oneninth of the total stock, so that if his father holds only one-half of the remaining stocks Of tho various companies, his yearly income from oil would be be- tween $50,000,000 and S100,000 000.
 The ever interesting question of Who Is the worlds richest man?' must arise when such tabulations arc made, and in this connection a recent report from Detroit estimated that Henry Ford made a profit of $12,000.000 a month or about s150 100000.

The games were close and hard fought, especially the game between the Fifth Avenuei Preds and First Methodist which, ended 12 to II in favor of the Preds.

At the end of the first half the Methodists were trailing II to ?, but in the second half started & rally and the score for the second half ended 15 to 8 with the Handley quintet leading.

LOUISIANA CLUB IS NOT FOR SALE
Secretary Denies Report That Audubon Society Will
 Buy Land

CHICAGO, Dec. 21.-H. c. Gelnaw executive secretary of the Louisiana Gulf Coast club, today denied reports published recently quoting T. Gilbert Pearson, president of the National Association of Audubon Societies, that there were negotiations on for the purchase of the clubs more than 102,000 acres of hunting grounds in Louisiana by the Audubon societies or any other interests.
 MT. McIlhenny, president of the club, has written letter to MT. Pear son asking him why he gave out such & report and & reply is being awaited" MT. Gelnaw said.
 MT. McIlhenny offered to sell this property on two occasions provided the land would be used as a wild life sanctuary and no action was taken on either proposal. In one of these offers, made last August. Mir. Nell henny agreed to donate s50,000 him self, and further, offered to give his time in seeing others who might contribute toward a fund.
 The last word I had from MT. Mo IlhennY, who is now in Louisiana, with some members of the club, after l had informed him of Mr. Pearsons announcement, was that AAlt tihD Is guns eAOao nllh AlS plans to a finality.
 For the edification of those who have not as yet sent in acceptance to Mr. McIlhennys invitation to become a member I would like to say that all money received from members in payment for their memberships is turned over to the Chicago Title and Trust company in it's entirety, no part being deducted for organization expenses, and should the club not be carried out as agreed. the money will be returned to the members intact Any reports to the contrary are un- true.
 MT. McIlhenny has always said that the club idea was his second choice, believing that half 8 loaf was better than none, that he had never received one constructive idea from the clubs critics, nor any of- fer of money to aid in it's purchase.
 There are now many of the lead ing men of the south and north in- cluded in the clubs roster, who ap- prove MT. McIlhenny's idea of prac- Tiral conSerNa ion -

LAYERS GOES TO PINEHURST LINKS
British Golf Star And Partner Will Meet Ross and
 CapeII

NEW YORK, Dec. 21.-Leaving be- hind an impression that they are re- markedly good golfers, Arthur Hav- CTS. British open champion, and Jimmy Ockenden, holder of the French open title. leave today for Pinehurst, N. C.. to put in two days of practice before meeting Alex Ross and Joe Capell in their first exhibi- tion match on this side of the At lantic.
 Havers and Ockenden shoot their sea legs yesterday in a practice tourney over the championship course of the Westchester- Biltmore club, being unable to do every thing except putt, as the permanent greens had been abandoned for the winter.
 The British title holder proved himself remarkably long driver, getting 2S0 yards on his first shot off the tee after leaving ship. As suming that he putted as well as he drove and approached, his card for nine holes would have approximated S35 544 S45-36.
 Ockenden was not in Havers' form and had difficulty in gaugipg his distance. His play indicated, how ever, that he is as sty a player as he has been described, and in travelling with HaVers, will make a good com bination of steadiness and brilliance.
 The critics found Havers an ortho- dox player, possessed of a smooth and free swing, with slightly open chance, and playing the ball well off his left heel. He used the overlap ping grip.
 In a small company Havers was not as reticent as he was to the greeting crowds. He said he began holding a golf stick when three and a half years old and that his ambition all ways was to be a professional golfer. At IA he enlisted in the Royal flying corps and got his first job as pro" soon after getting back to Mufti.

FIGHT OFFICIALS BATTLE GAMBLING
New York Commission Passes Drastic Measures
 Friday

NEW YORK. Dec. 21.-The New York State Athletic commissions s warfare upon gambling took definite form today when the ring solons adopted a new rule providing that persons caught betting, or recognized as professional gamblers. be barred from all boxing matches in this state.
 At the same time, the commission adopted three other rules designed to minimize the opportunity for criticism for fight decisions, which has been particularly apparent since the verdict by which Johnny Dundee regained the junior lightweight title from Jack Bernstein. Ringside opinion in that contest was almost unanimous in favor of Bernstein.
 The new rules In this connection provide that no person be allowed to sit at the ringside on the other side, where the judges are seated except the timek eeper, who must be at least six feet away; that no one may re- main standing during the progress of match at any club, and that no one except managers and seconds may enter the dressing rooms.
 The commission did not discuss the question of mixed bouts pointing out that no official barrier to such contests exists. Nevertheless, it is understood the boxing solons have frowned upon mixed matches of out standing importance and that the way has not yet been cleared for such proposed fights as those be- tween Harry Wills, New orleans negro, and either Luis Firpo or Jack Dempsey.

Gentle Breeze, for the night wind
grew chilly and by and by along came
North Wind for farewell trip and he
nipped little Cherry Blossom so hard
that the next day when the sun came
out there she was all withered.
Poor little Cherry Blossom would
never be cherry now, and when it
was time for her sisters to come out
in their pretty new gowns she had to
wear an old brown dress and cling
close to the bark of the limb where
she lived.
Then later she had to see her sis

which she could not wear, and she
had plenty of time to think over how
silly she had been not to wait patient
ly, as they did, for the warm days to
come. instead of hurrying out ahead of
them that she might have all the
admiration for herself.
The next year she was wiser and
stayed tucked snugly in her winter
bed until it was time for all of her
sisters to put on their summer clothes,
and you can be certain that none of
them looked prettier than the little
Cherry Blossom who the summer be-
