Victims Pay at
Lemon Dance

CALIPATRIA, March 13.-A
number of young men in this city
know what it means to be "handed
a lemon The knowledge was gain
ed at the Baseball dance Thursday
evening when several "lemon"
dances were featured, and while
they created considerable merriment
! they Were the means Of parting sew
oral dimes and quarters from their
owners. The "lemon dance is in
the nature Of robber dance. AT
tel the dance commences, a number
of men start out with lemons which
they hand to one of the dancers, at
the same time relieving him of his
dancing partner. When the music
stops every man holding lemon is
fined, and as the music had an an
noying habit of stopping at the most
inopportune moments, the dance was
exceedingly lively as everyone with
a lemon was seemingly anxious that
someone else SHOULD have it when
when the music stopped. The money
collected by these dances was given
for the prize waltz, which was won
by Miss Ruth Johnson and Ladimer
Mashin. A miniature baseball dia-
mond was made on the dancing
floor around which the contestants
danced, accomplishing this difficult
feat very cleverly.

TILLMAN MEETS FINLEY AT B. A. (. RING MONDAY NIGHT
CHESS IS NOW IN SPORT SPOTLIGHT

NEW YORK, Dec. 2.--The whole- hearted snore of the chess fan as his hero struggles for dear old alma mater on the checkered arena of the chess board has now become the dominant sound in the sporting up- roar if New York.
 Football has come and gone and even the baseball club owners will deny New York the usual privilege of a good laugh this winter.
 The magnates have elected to hold their meeting in Chicago, and there- fore the public of that city will have their first snicker when the procla- nations issue from the meeting room reaffirming the moral value of base ball to the American community and the altruism of the club owners.
 There are no very good fights brewing, the wrestling business is still in some disgrace as a result of the fakes of few seasons ago, and the big indoor track meets are some distance away.
 The Garden club is trying to whip up interest in the second return fight between Harry Greb and Gene Tun- ney, two weeks hence. But they have fought twice before without knock down, and no championship will be at stake in the impending rukus.

WRESTLING AGAIN ON M NEW YORK

NEW YORK, Dec. 2.-When sev- eral thousand wrestling fans went through their gas mask drill perfect ly, Sunday afternoon, the last ar rangement was completed for the second series of wrestling bouts of the season. Jack Curley, promoter of the bout between Wladek Zbyszko and Richard Schikat, said the gas mask had become purely perfunctory item of the wrestling fans uniform, held over from the days when wrest- ling had an extremely ripe fragrance and gas masks were a vital bit of defense apparel.
 Wrestling is pure now" MT. Cur ley said, and this news was contra dicted with the greatest of all Cur ley's wrestling promotions the sec ond Gotch- -Hackenschmidt bout in Chicago, which was not up to the standards of the present pure wrestling law. Hackenschmidt. it may be recalled, entered the ring on a stretcher and there were cries of fake" and "frame-up" when gotch rolled him for two straight passes in few minutes.
 It is noticeable that purity and poverty are concurrent afflictions of the wrestling business. When the wrestler is wealthy, as he was A few years ago in New York, he passes the championship around from man 10 man, according to whose turn if is to hold the title. But when the wrestling business is on the slide the wrestlers become pure and gran pie sincerely for their falls

Sabres To Play Polo Game With Atlanta Quartet


 What is expected to be the feature game of the Birmingham polo sea son has been scheduled for Roberts field on December 15, Saturday, and will be played under the auspices of the Junior league. The Governor 3 Horse guards of Atlanta will be brought to Birmingham for the game and the Birmingham Sabres will take the field to uphold the local colors against the invaders.
 The Sabres are practicing regu- larly and hard for the game, which they expect will be one of the hard est that they have played this year. Captain Hurt is coaching the Sabre four and will play No. on the team.
 In putting the game over Captain Carter of the Sabres is bringing to Birmingham a team that he believes will draw a record crowd to the field. In all branches of athletics. whether tiddled de- winks or footbal, Birmingham Atlanta game draws the crowd. When the Junior league was looking around for means to raise money to take care of the heavy expenses of their charity work during the Yuletide season, Captain Carter offered his idea, and it took For two reasons such a game would do good in Birmingham. The first and outstanding reason is that it would bring money into great or ganization for charity work, the local team gets nothing out of the game The second reason is that 1t would give the Magic City fans a chance to really see a good polo game and pass judgment on this hitherto little known sport In Birmingham.
 It was only at the first of this year that the Birmingham Polo as- tnv, Ln f,-,,,t ,r-l., t.,.a teams were organized and they have played a good many games with teams here which have been given good support, but 1t is the plan of the local teams to really make polo one of the most popular games of the Birmingham sport category and with this in mind the Atlanta game was scheduled.
 The Sabres boast of several star players on their squad and have been making a good showing this season. They have played several teams from other cities and several games with the Birmingham Polo association quartet. With the practice that they will get before the date set for the game the team should be working better than at any time this year. Their practice periods are made long and hard and in their eagerness to be at their best for the Cracker state team.
 The Atlanta four has been making good record this season also They defeated the strong Anniston team which came out second in a tourna- ment held at Anniston this summer in which five regular army teams competed. The Governors Horse guards is one of the oldest organi- zations of it's kind in the south, be- ing formed before the Civil war, and has many expert riders, on it's roll. Under the direction of Bertholet the team is practicing regularly for the game here.
 The probable lineup for the Sabres will be Corporal Lambert, No. 1 Cap tain Hurt, No. ?; Captain Carter, No. 3. and Sergeant Coley, No. 4, with Lieutenant Coleman as alternate These men have been playing to- gether all summer. with the excep- tion of Captain Hurt. who has just taken up the work of coaching the team and make up formidable polo machine.
