 She is The Girl who Worries. Winifred worries because the table cloth is little longer on one side than it is on the other. She worries abou every dish and cup and saucer, about thu thinness of the cream and the thickness | of the toast She worries everyone out of the house from her father to her smal sister. And when they have been driver forth she worries about the state of the house-the sagging of the parlor cur. tains and the inevitable dust which every morning appears just as though the furniture had not been polished the day before.
 On the way downtown Winifred frets about a stray cat. She is certain the cat, so long, lank and mangy, is carrying some germ, maybe typhoid, maybe one of those deadly diseases cats get from rodents.
 She worries about the nursemaids car. ing for small babies. She is sure they bounce the babies too much and induce early hiccoughs. She worries about everyone she knows, but more about those whom she does not know. She is sure they are starving, sick, etc.
 When she goes to market she is in her element looking for germs. Every trades man avoids waiting on Winifred. What one looks for one usually finds and Win ifred's excavations and proddings some times. bring to the surface those things which she seeks.

PARIS, July 14.---Eollowing Ameri. ca's triumph in the track and field sports of the Olympic games, the varied activities in other lines of athletic en. deavor; which made up Mondays pro- gram were in the nature of an anti climax.
 There were rowing, fencing, tennis, wrestling, swimming and basket ball in scattered sectors. The tennis tourna- ment is the most important struggle now going on, from the American point of view, but the matches thus far may be regarded as prefiminaries. Miss Helen Wills advanced by the default of Miss Marnet of Spain and will meet Mrs. Satterthwaite of England, Tues day. Mrs. Satterthwaite won from Miss Forlain of Italy by another de- fault. Miss Lillian Scharman of Brook lyn was put out of the tournament by Miss Alverez, the star of the Spanish women's team, 6-2, 60, and was the first American casulty of the tourna- ment.

 Reed Wins Title
 In the wrestling tournament Robin Reed of the Oregon Aggies won the featherweight championship by Hopping Charles Newton of Portland. who was rated the runner-up. Naitoh of Jap an was third.
 Lookabough of the United States won the welterweight title by defeating Gehri himself raised few bowls. He made a formal protest and the cham pionship therefore is under cloud.

 Garrett Gilmore of Philadelphia de feated J. Beresfofd, the. world cham pion sculler and the holder of the dia- mand sculls in the third heat of the championship rowing races.

took one of Jimmy's on the rsnout. He seemed a bit overconfident, Or possibly 1t was carelessness. In either case he was awakened from his reverie with rude shock in the third.
 What was destined to be the last round opened with Finley a little more determined to break up Carson's left ing. He began shooting across a few rights and threw few lefts for gener- osity's sake while rushing Carson to the ropes. They were in the center of the ring after about half of the third round was history, and Finley rushed, an ex- change followed and then Carson checked out on Finley's right.
 Preliminaries Good
 The preliminaries brought out some hectic battling. Two or three encounters of the breeders were slam-bang bat, ties. The most sensational of the lot was the semi-final Red Burke, a speedy boxer, and Steve Sarron, a terrific slugger, collided. Burke showed a much improved style of battling over that dis played on his last appearance here and put up great scrap with the Boys club terror until the third round, when Sarron landed terrific right blow flush on Reds mouth, which split his lips badly and knocked him flat to the floor. The gong sounded before the count was completed. Sarron dislocated his thumb, which he had previously hurt, when he landed the blow. Neither boxer was able to continue, but -Burke's sec onds had thrown in the towel first.
 Another terrific slugging match was between Sailor Simpson and Boiler maker Kelly, four-rounder. Kelly rushes were met with terrific rights, one of which closed his eye, and another brought blood from his nose. He con tinued to rish his opponent to the fin ish. but Simpsons killing rights landed frequently and he won the decision. LayOy Wins

 Trials

ARGENTEUIL. France.

FINLEY KNOCKS OUT :.
 CARSON IN THIRD
Louisville Slugger Lands Solid Right To Jaw In
 Putting Away Opponent

Johnny Carson. late of the Pacific coast, and later of Louisville, Ky, ear ried on an outrageous filtration with the wicked. walloping starboaTd wing of Jimmy Finley, Louisville sluggef and southern welterweight champion and met his Waterloo in one swift stroke of the sluggeF's right in the third round of a scheduled 10-round bout al the Birmingham Athletic club Monday night.
 Faced with an agile comedian-boxel who trailed around the ring. crouched hands swinging in a kindred manner te our alleged (by BarwinD anthrOpoid ancestors, Jimmy was somewhat. at 6 loss as to what method of attack to ust during the first two rounds. Fast Carson was a near-stReak as he flung his left glove with 1ightning-iike quick ness into Jimmy's face time after time during the second round. He had Finley frankly bewildered There seemed nc style of defense against such tactics and he bobbed up and down as Jimmy swung rights and left that sailed harm lessly over his head.
 A Queer Bird
 He was character, an unsuaf Tint man, to say the least. He apparently was not troubled by Finsey's blows tt the head during the first two rounds and was not averse to letting Jimmy take a few clean wallops at his bobbinl head occasionally.
 The Pacific coast flash was outflashet in the third though, for Finley eamt over with q terrific right cross whicf caught the squatty little boxer fusE on the jaw and he kissed the mat for thu contact. It was solid blow, probably the only one. or at least one Of very few, landed during the fight.
 The trend of the first round was to ward plenty footwork and little glove work. However, Finley slapped over few nice jabs while the boy from tht movie coast also passed across few light ones to the face.
 Carson Uses Left
 In the second round the flashy op ponent of Finley literally puzzled thu champion. He swung stiff, sidearn left from the shoulder that landed clear with regular monotony; He had Jimmy up in the air and he played nponke, antics on the ropes for the fans amuse ment. He put up a nonchalant battle and was apparently uncOncerned wheth CT his blows went true or whether h'

what do you think of baseball as a profession?
 Answered by
 HARRY HOOPER
 Outfielder, Chicago White SOx. famous for the sensational catches which he Baseball is a good profession to adopt if you wish to get bit of capital quickly and If you are good enough to make a major league. My personal feeling is that if you are not major leaguer, and have but little chances to become one, get out of professional baseball. Minor league baseball doesn't pay--save in rare in- stances. If you treat yourself well. base ball Is not the terrible physical grind which some players make 1t out. The worst thing against baseball as pro- fession. so far as can see.
