Man of Genius Made
Companions of Dogs

In Memories and Notes Of Persons
and Places" Sir Sidney Colyin gives
an intimate glimpse of George Mere
dith's conversation with his dogs.
1.-THE most characteristic strain in
his ordinary manner was this blend Of
the most scrupulous courtesy with the
frankest raillery, both somewhat elab-
crate Of their kind. He would take and
keep the same tone with servants. He
would even take ii with his pet dogs.
l have noticed that the dogs OF men
of genius love them more passionately
and devotedly than they love ordinary
masters, / suppose feeling in them
some extra glow and intensity of the
emotional faculties calling for q re-
Spouse in kind. To the succession of
black and tan or pure tan dachshunds
given to Meredith by various friends,
Koby and Bruny and Pete (for 'Ko-
bold Bruno 'Peto0. and Islet, on
whom he wrote his well known elegy-
to these it was a delight TO hear him
talking eagerly by the half hour to-
gether in terms NOW of caressing en-
dearment, now Of irony, or sometimes,
when the poaching instinct had proved
too strong in any of them, of panied
parental reproof."
And in the same chapter Colvin
quotes Sir James Barrie's account Of
Meredith, written after the latter's
death: "He came swinging down the
path, singing Justify, and calling to his
dogs, his dogs of the present and the
past; and they yelped with JOY, for
they knew they were once again to
breast the hill with him"

Questions From Football
Followers VIII Be
Answered.

Not only is the Athletic Officials
Association of Texas, composed of
local referees and football officials,
preparing to furnish football teams in
this section of the state with expert
officiating at their games, but it will
broaden the scope of its activities to
give the fans and players an authOri-
tative Interpretation in all the dis
putcs which arise over the rules.
President 2. S. ''Spitz" Clark of the
association made this announcements
after having arrived at a working
agreement with the Light sports de-
partment in regard to the manner in
which a question box will be handled.
The Light has arranged with Mr..
Clark and his fellow members of the
association to act as way station for
all requests of this nature sent in.
Upon their receipt by the Light sports
department they will Immediately be
transmitted to President Clark, who
in conjunction with his associate Off
Gals. will render an authoritative
opinion on the point in dispute.
In tbs manner the answer to every
question prOpounded by football en-.
thusiastS will appear in The Light

received.

HOUSTON SELLS
KANE, BENGE
To MAJORS

HOUSTON, Aug. 29.-Shortstop
Johnny Kane Of the Bluffs and Pitcher
Raymond Benge, who is Houston prop
erty but working under the Waco
colors at present, have been sold by
President II. L. Robertson to the Chi
cago White Sox and the Cleveland In
dams, in the order named.
Kane played Saturday in what may
prove his last game in a Buff uniform
as he leaves at noon Sunday for Chl-
cago where he will join the ranks OF
the Sox Tuesday. Later in the year
he will have Catcher Harry McCurdy
as n running mate as Mac was sold
several weeks ago for fall delivery.
FOUR MEN SOLD.
The sale of Kane and Benge in
creaseS recent baseball sales transae-
tons to four. McCurdy and Goodwin
having been purchased by the White
SOx and Cincinnati. Still some avail
able material remains on the shelf, but
none on the bargain counter. The
Bluffs may look somewhat like REM
nants judging from their 16 conse-
cutive losses. but this has nothing TO
do with the merits of the good athletes
who are still on the roster.
Two scouts were in the grandstand
Saturday inspecting the performance
of Homer Peel. He was good enough
to oblige the local owners with a dou-
bic against a full house and a single.
Each of his two hits tied the score
for Houston. That his pals did not go
on and win after those heroic efforts
is no fault of his.
PLENTY OF CASH.
Without committing themselves to
| the actual amounts to be paid for
Kane and Benge, the impression IS
given that the youthful shortstop is
bringing approximately $4,000 and
that the Cleveland club is putting up
about $4,000 for Mr.. Benge.
The Kane deal is somewhat condl-
tional, certain amount being paid in
cash and the remainder to be paid in
case he is retained after April I, 1926.
The Benge sale is a cash transaction.
No players are involved in either OF
these most recent sales, but Houston
get two players, plus cash for Me
! Curdy.

AMERICANS WIN
IN DOUBLES
TENNIS
By HERBERT REED.

Copyright, 1925, BY universal service
LONGWOOD CRICKET CLUB,
CHESTNUT HILL, Mass, Aug. 30.
In an international match that will
long be remembered in tennis circles,
America scored q triumph today over
one of the greatest pairs that ever
has come out of Australia. The hither-
to unbcatcn pair, Gerald Patterson
and John Il. Hawkes., fell when X,
Norris Williams, 2nd, and Young Vim
cent Richards. a combination new as
n team, came through to victory IN the
final of the national doubles cham
pionships, in four sets, 81, $40, Cd,
11.9.
For sheer suspense and thrill there
has seldom been witnessed any court
event to equal this one. The Williams
Richards team represents America $
hope in the coming Davis Cup con-
tests. Paired uD hardly more than
three weeks, they worked out a SUI
perb generalship, heady, crafty COM
bination, which prevailed against one
of the greatest power teams that ever
stepped on a court.
PATTERSON FAILS.
1t was the case of the rapier against
the mace. Both were on exhibition
today, and both were terrifyingly et-
fective at times, but it was Patter'
son, after all, despite his strong ser,
vice and smashing game, who failed
his team in the crisis, and he did
so under the cunning teasing of the
American generalship. From the start
the two American players showed
that they were in no awe of him
They went after him, they drove at
his feet, they slipped quick cut strokes
past him, they kept the ball down
below the high arc of his swinging
racket, they met him face to race
in the close rallies. Repeatedly the
left handed Hawkes. had to save thu
invaders, again and again 1t was
Hawkes. who was the cleverer on at
tack.
Patterson rose to heights toward the
close. but the American pair had his
measure nonetheless. 1t had been
supposed that Hawkes. left-handed
sharp-angle shots across the court
might rout Williams. They die
trouble him now and then, but there
was no routing him.
As far as court generalship was con
| ccrncd, the American pair had q very
real edge. 1t was only in the lack OF
surety in strokes now and then that
they showed up at all badly. But il
must be remembered that had they
failed to take chances they never
would have won, for the only way L
beat the invaders was to meet then
with supreme craft and supreme dar
ing.
RICHARDS SAVES DAY.
In the matter Of heart breaking er
rors. Norris Williams was the prin
cipaI offender, and in that nervc-test
ing second set it was Richards, work
ing overtime and all over the court
making impossible shots, who stave,
off the loss of the set so long. Viii
liams dropped balls into the net, o
flicked them off the wooden frame o
his racquet in way that made tn
crowd groan.
Time and again he all but threy
away his service, calling Richards I
tho rescue. But-and it Is a great bi
