their old-time class in their opening
game in the Saturday League for

pany, IL to .. Manager. Jonas
sprung a new pitching sensation in
local baseball by sending Jack Hunt
to the mound, and Jack turning in a
no-hit game for his debut.

romped on the Richters Bakery team
in an old-fashioned slugging match,
the final score being 10 to 0. There
were only two games. b.
The Elks had their "wrecking crew"
on duty again Saturday. and the COM
bination of Onion, Sheldon, Calm and
company looks like it's going to cause
a lot of pitchers worries again this
year.
The Elks did not have a regular
pitcher ready for duty, so Manager
Jonas sent in Jack Hunt, who was
an outfielder last year. and Hunt came
through with a no-hit victory. The
two runs scored against Hunt came
as the result of walks and errors.

FIRP0 MAY BE TAKING
A CHANCE IN BATTLE
WITH JACK MAULIFFE
Westerner Viewed With
Apprehension Has
Demonstrated Punch.
By SPARROW MGANN.

Copyright, by Tho San Antonio Light.
New York, April 7.-Firpo is the
guy that is taking the chance on
May IL.
That is the up and up on the meet
ing between the Argentinian and Jack
McAuliffe II, which will take place
in the ring in which Floyd johnson
and Jess Willard are expected to
mingle next month.
When you want real opinions on
pugilistic events it is waste of time
to talk either to promoters or man
ayers. The thing to do is to hang
around where certain close-mouthed
men who back their CURLY expressed
opinions with real money foregather
and listen TO the dope.
The dope on the matter in ques-
ton is that this McAuliffe is a tough
guy and that. if everything is on the
level, the demon of the Pampas is
to have real opposition. As TO being
on the level, no one can see what
newcomer like McAuliffe could gain
by taking it on the ear from the
South American, even granting that
he is the sort of chap who would be
willing TO do so. And he doesn't APP
pear to be that kind of a chap.
Out in the far west they like Nc
Auliffe a lot and the writer has word
from there that the battle last year
between Floyd johnson and Nc
Auliffe-reported in the east to have
been very even-involyed a narrow
escape for the man who is to meet
Willard. He was mighty glad, &C.
cording TO reports, when the six
rounds were ended.
Jack is bigger than Firpo and
younger, being 90 years old. His
strain is a mixture of French and
Irish. his height is six feet three, his
weight is 210 pounds. He is
novice but apparently he has only
to hit a man once in the proper
spot. He has been in seventeen
bouts and Floyd johnson appears
to be the only man who has escaped
a knockout.
The names Of the men he has met
and knocked out include no performer
mains that he has bowled over the
set-ups without any difficulty at all
Ed Kennedy, four rounds; Vic Me-
Loughlin, two rounds; Jack Ryan,
three rounds; Sergeant Norcross, two
rounds: Tim O'Neal, seven rounds
Jack Reed, three rounds: Dummy
Maxon, three rounds; Jack Downey,
three rounds; Tom Mccarthy, two
rounds; Tim Logan, five rounds;
Sergeant Larkin, four rounds; Frank
Bowers, two rounds; Frank Farmer,
four rounds: Bill Reed, six rounds
Jack Doyle, three rounds, and
Walker, three rounds.
Ability to stow away set-ups doesn't
always imply that man can conduct
himself with great success against
class, as George Godfrey's recent blow
up demonstrated. But just the same
We are warranted in viewing Nc
Abilities appearance here with some
idea that he will prove himself to be
no SLOUGH at all.
In the reports from Missouri, they
have it that Willard's physical con-
dition is not so bad as had been
painted and that the coming week will
see him in training again. There
seems no doubt that Willard is earn
estly trying to stage a comeback. The
only doubt has been his ability to get
himself in trim.

WORK In NEAR EAST
Major Formerly Here Is on Duty
With Red Cross.

A large part of Americas relief
work in the Near East this summer
will be taken by Mai Glen Edgar

merly stationed at Fort Sam Houston

cording to American Red Cross an
nouncements. Major Edgerton will

inspector of emergency food, clothing
and medical relief among the million
refugees from Asia Minor and Thrace.
He will visit each of the twelve dis
tricts where sanitation campaigns are
under way, in an effort to prevent
epidemic diseases during the coming
summer.
Major Edgerton is a native of Kan
sas and is a graduate of both the Kan
tary academy at West Point, gradu-
ating from the latter institution in
1908. His first service in Texas was
in 1915 when he was sent. to Texas
City. A few months later he was
transferred to Fort Sam Houston, and
then to Fort Bliss at FL Paso.

English is being studied as never

FOUR DESCENDANTS OF
DERBY WINNERS HAVE
CAPTURED RENEWALS
Only Once Has Son of
Winning Horse Taken Ken
lucky Classic Honors.

Louisville, KY, April 1T has
long been held in Kentucky, and else
where, that the hardest task that may
be set before the son or daughter of
Kentucky Derby winner is the win
ming of another renewal of the spring
special for three-year-olds. Only once
in As years has the son of one Derby
winner managed to get down in front
in another, although twice have grand
sons and once has the granddaughter
of q victor scored. Halmo, winner in
1895, was a grandson, through Han
over, of Hindoo, winner in 1881. Ben
Brush was the grandfather of Meri-
dian, winner in 1911 and Regent win
ner in 1915. Regent is the only mare
that has yet won a Derby revival,
in 1902 Alan-a-Dale, son of Halma, de-
feated Inventor and The Rival, earn
ing $3.50 for Major Thomas Clay
Mcdowell who bred him at Ashland,
which, for 30 years was the home Of
the illustrious Henry Clay, Major Nc
Dowell's great-great grandfather.
But it looks as though new era has
dawned. In the past strenuous efforts
were not always made to prepare for
Derby renewals first-rate sons of
earlier victors. Only since 1914 has
the Derby purse been a compellingly
attractive prize. This year, with a
value of $4,000 to $4,000, plate
included, it will be the most desirable
from a pecuniary angle of ali Ameri-
can races, as it was last season. As
long at this high value is maintained
it will inevitably bring to the post
colts that will be worthy as regards
breeding and in the attributes of speed
and endurance under weight to go to
great studs to carry on the thorough
bred line. These coming Derby win!
ners, year after year, will sire other
derby aspirants of the first quality.
Possibly the event will show that
George Smith. derby victor of 1915
when Star Hawk. an English colt that
afterward won renewals of the Law
renee Realization stakes and the Louis
vile Cup was the contender. will have
sired the winner of the 10th Derby.
This son of Out of Reach. grandson
of Permission and great grandson of
the celebrated st. Simon, is the only
winner of the past with representa-
ton among its 245 nominations. He
has one genuinely formidable potential
starter in Aspiration and there are
possibilities in The Age, Rusticator,
Daily and Playful Miss, other. sons
and daughters of his that may race
with Aspiration. Aspiration will bear
the silks of Benjamin Block of Chi
cago and New York, the same under
which Norwich won the 4Sth Derby
last spring. Mr.. Block bought Aspi-
ration at the auction block at Licking
ton a fortnight since. The colt was
cheap at S27 600.

CAN SELL WHISKEY
Failure to Receive New Permits Not
To Disqualify Drug Stores.

Although applications to sell whis-
key in the retail drug stores have not
been received by a number of drug
gists throughout the country, legiti-
mate business can be carried on if
each druggist sends registered let
ter to the National Prohibition Com
missioner, Washington, on or before
the 10Th of April.
This was made public in an article
published in the n. A. X. ID. Journal,
published in Chicago, March 20.
Because of the enormous amount
of business to be transacted by the
prohibition department, a delay of
three months in making out new per-
mits has resulted. In order that some
of the druggists may not suffer
through not having received their
new permit, while others have been
more fortunate in receiving theirs, the
plan of sending letter to Washington
stating that the permit has not been
received and asking permission to do
business until they are informed that
their permit has been either granted
or rejected, was devised.
Treasury Department order 339S,
approved October 3, last. and now in
effect. provides as follows: s..
permits expiring December 81,
1922, for which renewal applications
have been duly filed, in the absence
of express action. continue as re-
newal permits until April 80, 1923,
only, except that il any permittee
who has not received notice Of action
upon his application on or before April
l., shall notify the prohibition COM
missioner, Washington, ID. c.. by reg
istered letter mailed between the first
and fifteenth of April that such ap-
plication was filed (giving the facts }
and that no notice of action thereon
had been received, then his permit
may remain in force as a renewal per.
nit until such application is acted
upon. Any permittee, operating al
the approval hereof by virtue Of .
permit for the year 1921, extended
| by virtue Of Pro. Min. 239, may op
crate under such permit as il it hat
been, expressly renewed for the year
1922, unless hereafter expressly dis
approved. Such permittee, If he de
sjres a continuation of his permit
privileges in 1923, shall file applica
ton according to the regulations, ant
shall have until one month after tn,
