INCREASE IN RECEIPTS
. SHOWS SPORT GROWTH

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Dec. 90
Interesting contrasts in past and
present phases of the football game
from the viewpoint Of receipts were
told by Fred W. Moore, graduate
manager Of Harvard athletics, in an
address to 90 members of the Brown
University Club of Boston. He said /:
In 1891 when.I was varsity foot
ball manager, the total receipts for the
season were $3S61. We played thir-
teen football games that year. The
average guarantees were S341 and the
average receipts 1916.
ave offered Brown $50 or half
the receipts TO come to Cambridge,
but John d. Rockefeller Jr., was
handling Brown finances and he held
out for more. The receipts from all
athletic contests during the year Of
1871 were $4,000 and the expense
$4,000. Last year we took in $685.
630 for athletics and our ordinary
expenses were 1854, 300"

LIGHTWEIGHT CHAMP
MEANS LITTLE NOW

Once upon a time when the light
weight fighting championship changed
hands it was an event that called for
columns upon columns in any paper in
the country. Since the New York
commission has been handling things
in its own way it doesn't seem to mat
ter much whether Jimmy Goodrich of
this town or Rocky Kansas of that
one is holder of the bauble. One looks
to be as good as the other, especially
at little distance.
When one comes to look at the
whole situation and to check up on
the characters that are performing in
the 135-pound class there is but one
conclusion to be reached. That is the
fact that the division has a retired
star in there, and that he is so much
superior to any of them that no mat
ter what the New York or any other
commission of Muldoon's and the rest
may have to say about it that he is
far ahead of any of them, and the pub
lie, we opine, will keep on thinking so
until somebody has beaten Benny, or
that he has passed away to some sort
of an untimely end.
Just the other night, in a bout that
was called for the lightweight cham
pionship, and there is a possibility
that it was because there is nobody
left to give argument to the thing,
Rocky" Kansas, n Buffalo italian,
got the decision over Jimmy Goodrich,
another man from the same town, who
was declared the winner of recent
tournament, and therefore entitled to
claim the title. That Goodrich was
not a good champion is shown by the
fact that Kansas beat him in chal-
lenge match, although it must be said
that Kansas is a pretty hard sort of
customer.
Record books do not say so much
about Goodrich, because he hasn't
been in the game for any considerable
length of time, and for that reason
hasn't mingled with any of the best of
them. He has had but few encounters
that might be called real fights, and
it was by the grace of the commission
that he obtained the title. If New
York decisions are recognized around
the country, and for want Of some
thing better to hook the words around,
they say such things, then Rocky
Kansas at the present time is cham
pion of the world. But when one
goes back and skins an eye over the
great men that have gone before, men
of the Lavigne, Erne, Cans, Nelson,
Wolgast, Richie, Leonard type, how
may one become reconciled to the
change in conditions of the present
day?

LIES CENTERS.

The center on a football team sell
dom breaks into the limelight. We
find him making no brilliant runs
around the end. no spectacular
plunges through the line and down
the field. He understands perfectly
that he is not expected to bask in
the rays of glory. But if he is play
ing his position right up to the han.
die he cuts more figure than the spec
tator may realize.
So it is with many men in life.
They toll on unknown and unsung,
making good in their respective places,
throwing back the fierce charges of
business rivals, standing pat and TAX
ing their medicine in the face of
business adversely, protecting those
that depend on them-and receiving
and asking no credit for doing their
plain duty.
Few can be brilliant halfbacks,
lodging, speeding and twisting down
the field in the heat of battle, win
ming the frenzied applause of thou
sands. For this sort of thing not
many are called and fewer are chosen.
But If you cannot be n plunging
halfback or a dashing fullback you
can play your position in the line.
You can take and give the hard
knocks that. unfortunately, count so
much in the grim struggle for actual
existence and possible success. You
can so conduct yourself that those
who have the right to depend on you
will never be disappointed.

MACK WANTS BIG
MEN FOR |NF|ELD

Connie Mack says he is through
experimenting with understood in
fielders. The tall leader of the Ath-
letics insists he wants only large
sized infielders in the future, from
. feet, 0 inches to 6 feet being the
ideal height.
Ty Cobb, on the other hand, is
rather partial to the half-pint sized
infielders. He regards Jackie Tave-
ner, who is the smallest infielder in
the American League, the equal Of
any of them in fielding.
Mack has had the six-foot infielder
in his thoughts for some time. 1t is
said, after he watched the brilliant
play of Wright and Traynor of Pitts
burgh, he was convinced more than
ever that the rangy infielder has the
edge.
Mack not only figures the big fell
low has the advantage in the field
but also dopes it that extra pound
age and height tend to give him
more punch at the plate.

with faith enough in the gullibility of
fight fans to offer Carpenter fifty
thousand dollars to fight here again
Carpenter will be foolish not to
accept such an offer and the fight
fans will be foolish if they pay to

that the promoter is foolish to offer
Georges such a sum-but promoters
are not foolish. They feel the feverish
pulse of the fight public and profit
accordingly. Do not be surprised,
therefore, if you are given the op-
portunity of watching a twice-defeated

BAD LUCK
STARTED BAT PLANT

Pete Browning, star in base
ball of the early eighties, when players
fashioned their own bats by hand and
we're untroubled by regulations as to
weight, length or thickness. broke his
favorite stick one afternoon, with an
important game scheduled the next
day. it is related.
So Pete went to cabinet-maker
named Hillerich and they spent the
night making a new bat.
Hillerich saw a field for bat-maker,
with baseball growing rapidly in pub
lie favor, and that was the start of the
Hillerich and Bradsby Company of
Louisville, the largest bat-makers in
the business.

BIG GUNS
Leading Stars Of Game to
Come Here From
Los Angeles.

When the fifth Texas open goli
tournament is held here January IA,
10 and is, all the well-known Amor
lean golf professionals, excepting
Walter Hagen and Gene Sarazen, will
WELD their clubs over the Bracken-
ridge municipal course.
One hundred and twenty-five golfers
who derive their living from the fair
way and green will compete, as well
as large number of amateurs, ac-
cording to figures arranged by Jack
OBrien, in charge Of the tournament
publicity.
Jock Hutchinson of Chicago. Leo
Dicgel of New York, Bill Melhorn of
Chicago and formerly Of Shreveport,
Joe Turnesa Of New York, defending
champion, and Cyril Walker of New
Jersey, will be entered, although the
complete field will not be known
until January 10, entries being per-
mitted until that date. These pro-
fessionals will come direct from com
peting in the Los Angeles open which
ends January 10 and which, with
$4,000 purse, is The richest meeting
in the country.
MONEY TOTALS $4,000.
The Texas open this year will have
$4,000 to attract professionals of the
first class. This purse is being given
by the San Antonio Chamber Of Com
merce this year; in past Journeys it
has been made up by subscription.
Among the amateurs expected here
are Chick Evans, Chicago veteran, who
also will enter the Los Angeles open,
and Clarence Hubby of Temple, Texas.
At Temple the golf enthusiasts are
confident that Hubby, who was run
nerup last summer in the Western,
will give professional and amateur
alike, stiff competition. and they
wouldn't be surprised if he came in
ahead of the field.
Actual tournament competition will
occupy two days. Thursday being
devoted to amateur-pro team play and
a driving contest. All the competition
will be medal play with SO holes being
played Friday and sc more Saturday.
To facilitate moving the large field,
the golfers will be off in threesomes,
four minutes apart, starting as early
in the morning as feasible so that the
last trio will have as much daylight
as the first.
NO ENTRY FEE.
The Texas open is singular in that
no entry fee is required of the play
ers or is any admission charged for
the gallery. In past years as many
as 1000 persons have tramped the
fairways TO watch the meet, and as
the tournament is held during the
height Of the tourist season, it is as
sured Of good-sized galleries.
The Breckenridge links has a par of
~ and is some 6,400 yards long. 1t

eight water holes and the fairways
are narrow, necessitating straight and
accurate shooting.

hand, including l.. Ert Slack, former
United States district attorney; DR..
Carleton McCullloch, twice nominee

and George Butler of Evansville,
however, were present and were dis
cussed as eligibles.

Prince Ahmed in Insane
Asylum Near London

London.-Languishing In an insane
asylum here Is a multi-millionaire
Egyptian nobleman who considers
himself a modern Monte Christie. The
man is his highness, Prince Ahmed

King Fuad of Egypt and the pOssessor
Of an income of more than $5OO,OOO a

For % years he has been kept in an

Prince Ahmed Is descended from
Ibrahim Pasha, second son of Me-
hemet Ali, who In the days of the great
Napoleon conquered Egypt by intrigue
and battle. His sister was married to
Prince Fuad. In 1898, after she had
told him something about her husband
which enraged him, Prince Ahmed
seized a revolver and fired at his
brother-in-law. wounding the latter.
He was arrested, tried by an Egyp-
tian court for attempted murder and
sentenced to seven years penal servi-
tude. This term was afterward re-
duced to four years. In addition he
had to pay the expenses Of Prince
Fuad's illness, which cost nearly
$4,000.
After serving his sentence in an
Egyptian prison, Prince Ahmed was
brought to England, declared insane
and placed in the asylum where he
has been ever since. Prince Fuad
had, meanwhile. divorced Prince Alb
med's sister, and she disappears from
the story.

But there is an aged woman living
In Constantinople, Prince Ahmed's
mother, who longs for the return Of
her son and has never ceased to work
for his release from the asylum. Time
after time she applied to the British
government, but without success. Now
