'ENCLISH HAVE
NOT REJECTED
new GOLF BALL

NEW YORK, Jan. 6.-Denying
that a larger and lighter golf ball
recommended by the United States
Golf association has been rejected
by English officials. w. Norman
Boase, chairman of the champion
ship committee of the Royal and
Ancient Golf club of ST. Andrews,
today asserted that there was mo
difference of opinion" on the sub
iect between the ruling links organi-
cations of America and England.
Boase in this country on a busi-
ness trip, declared, however, that
the Royal and Ancient club had not
approved the suggestion that. the
new ball be played exclusively in
1926 championship events in both
countries. 1t was deemed unfair, he
said. to use the championship tourna-
ments for experimental purposes.
He said he feels quite certain
that if and when the two bodies
decide that it is necessary for the
good of the game that the ball
shall be limited, any change that
is made will be made by both bodies
simultaneously"
The proposal of the United States
Golf association would increase the
diameter of the present ball from
1.62 inches to 16S inches, while its
weight will be reduced from 1.62
ounces to 1.55. The general impress
sion had prevailed in this country
that English golfers objected to the
change because it was believed at
mosphereic conditions abroad would
greatly affect so light ball
Agreement between the two bodies
is expected to be finally reached
next summer at the international con-
ference in england, at which w.
c. Fownes, Jr. of Pittsburg, nominee
for president of the United States
Golf association will represent this
country.

CHICAGO, Jan. o-young Jake
schaefer, twice former champion, to-
day regained the worlds title at 1872
balk line billiards of the United
States, when he defeated Edouard
HorenIans, Belgian title holder, 1900
to $50 after three 500 point blocks
of play
The score for the final 500 point
block today was:
Schaefer 500; Horemans 31S.
Schaefer compiled the phenomenal
average of SO 1916 for his sixteen
innings during the two nights and
afternoon of play. 1t has not been
long, however, since the losers av-
erage of 55 1915 would have been
considered excellent.
When the little champion emerged
from last nights play with deficit
of 428 points, his chance to retain
the title virtually was nullified.
Despite Horeman's extremely poor
showing when his total is contem
plated with Schaefers he twice
scored higher runs than the Ameri-
can. Horemans 243 in the final in
ming of the opening block was the
high run of the match, and his 231,
scored today in his dying effort to
retain the championship was better
than anything Schaefer could do The
winners best was a run of 210 scored
last night. 1t was with consistency
and grim determination that Schae@
fer prevailed over Horemans, who
defeated Schaefer for the title only
a month ago by a meager five points
after Schaefer scored 432 points in
a final effort.
In eight of his 16 turns at The
table Schaefer counted more than
100 points, while in only two efforts
did Horemans reach triple figures.
The contest was forced upon Hore.
mans by Schaefer, who threatened
to quit in the middle of their last
contest unless the little Belgian
would agree, winner or loser, to meet
him again inside a month.

TOMBSTONE H S.
TEAMS TO PLAY
HERE FRIDAY

The Tombstone casaba tossing bas-
keteers will invade Douglas Friday
night when they tangle with the
teams representing the Douglas high
school in the opening games of the
southern Arizona basketball confer
ence. The visiting teams have a
number of veterans in Fry, Wyatt,
Dalgleish, Bernard and Morris on
the boys team and Grace Knowles,
Dorothy Krebs and Rose Giacomelli
on the girls sextet.
The Tombstone teams have played
against Pearce and st. David so will
be in the best of condition to take
a fall out of the local teams.
Coaches Van Antwerp and Warren
have the boys prlmed for this con-
test while Miss Hazelwood has been
giving the girls regular workouts
every day for their game.
A definite lineup for both games
will be announced latter as te eligi-
bility lists ave just been exchanged.
Basketball fans are urged to at
tend the first games so that they
may form an idea of the calibre of
the teams being developed at the
high school this year. The interest
in this sport is very keen and the
coaching is the best in years. The
material is also as likely as any
that has enrolled during the past
two years.
Magma, star of last years squad
will enroll next semester and should
prove a big help in the forward de-
partment of the game.
The first game will start at 1880

tional League baseball club has ap-
piled for franchise in the National
Professional Fotball league and plans
if successful, to place a salaried
eleven in the field for the next two
seasons, Secretary Edwin Riley an
nounced today.
The project was + planned partly
as an economic addition Ito the
Braves field baseball park, Riley
said, as the leaders of the national
league club hoped to make up for
many months Of baseball idleness by
filling the stands in the fall and
winter months
The Braves are the first major
league club to throw it's lot in with
professional football, although the
New York Giants last season lent

Boxing Comment

BOXING comment
In sense the baseball and boxing
crowds have much in common. Us
ually a fellow who likes one of the
sports is pretty strong for the other.
In all probability the boxing fan
is the most boisterous, due, perhaps,
to the fact that it is possible to
make himself better heard indoors.
Recently while watching fight
at one of the Philadelphia clubs, l
made mental note of some of the
things hurled at the boxers who
failed to please.
Stick in pinch hitter" was the
shout as one of the fighters appeared
to be outclassed in the opening pre-
liminary
Officer, put them to work. was
the united greeting given two fight
ers who didn't appear to be trying.
The referee later saved the officer
that trouble by stopping the fight.
IF we must have these petting
parties, turn out the lights" shouted
the crowd as two fighters insisted
on clinching and holding throughout
each round.
When couple of the boxers show-
ed plenty of footwork, but little
punching power, every one started to
whistle the Merry Widow waltz as an
accompaniment.
A draw between the basebaII and
boxing fam would, believe, Be re-
ceived as very fair verdict.

Football closely follows golf and

OF a :
man

PRINCE ALBERT makes the kind Of
cigarette any regular, two-fsted man
likes. A satisfying, full-bodied smoke.
A cool, long-burning smoke. Because,
its that kind of tobacco! You'll notice
what we mean the minute you roll one
with P. A. and light up.
Prince Albert is crimp-cut and stays
put. The tobacco goes into the cigarette
NOT all over the floor. You don't need
a carpet-sweeper when you roll 'em with
PA. We mentioned ''cool.'' P. A. can't
bite your tongue or parch your throat.
The Prince Albert process fixes that.

Yes, SIR! And here's another hunch:

Critical Fans

OF the many species of sport fans,

rotten golf, but he doesn't.
Follow the players in silence, is

Turned the Joke
During the past season, American
League ball players have had lot
of fun kidding Catcher Val Picinich
of the Boston Red Sox about the
trip made to Europe last winter as
member of the two American teams
that toured that country.
Pcinich, who has a sense of humo4
could hardly wait ur til the players
arrived at Dublin. On the same team
as picinich was Mike Cvengros,
scuthpaw Of the Chicago White Sox.
when Cvengros and Picinich is
announced as the battery in Dublin,
J. am afraid it will start another
riot" was the way Val put it.
However, there was no reason for
any fear on the part of Picinich, for
just &c people paid to see the ball
game at I,uDlin.
why, we lad twice as many IAN
players as there We're spectators,
explained Picinich. I've could have

The other players on both teams,
however, blamed the small attend

pected to see two AlI-Amcricam teams

American Writer Who
Turned to Buddhism

1t Is common for people of other
lands to come to America and be-
come citizens of the United States but
we seldom think of Americans taking
out naturalization papers and so be-
coming citizens of some other country.
Yet one famous American writer did
just that.
This writer was Lafcadic Hearn,
who was really an American, al
though he was born on a Greclan is
land of an Irish father and a Grecian
mother. At the age of sixteen he ran
away from London, and then came
to this county, where he worked on
a number of newspapers. Later he was
sent to Japan to write articles for a
magazine. He became so fond of that
country that he spent the rest of his
life there, adopted the Buddhist re-
ligion, became Japanese citizen,
dressed In the costume of the cOun-
try and married Japanese wife.
Hearn thus became almost com
pletely an oriental, and better than
any other occidental he has told us
about the people of the Far East. Hav-
ing himself become one of them, he
was able to understand them more
fully than any other westerner.

Travellers VIII Miss
OH Dutch WindrniLLs

The picturesque Dutch windmills
are fast passing from the landscape
of the land of bikes. The Dutch
millers are undermining their mills
and turning to electricity. They are
right of course; but along with the
great blades and stubby towers there
will vanish much that Is quaint and
pictorial in tradition as well as In
architecture, for the miller has made
his mill, through many generations
show and express his joys and sor-
rows.
Always the Dutch miller has given
his mill a Name and called 1t by that;
never just the mill" When a daugh-
ter Of the household married, the mill
was gayly adorned; when a member
of the family died, the mill was put
into mourning, and the degree Of that
mourning was governed by fixed rules
Of windmill etiquette. If the owner
died, all the 20 boards in the arms OF
the mill were taken out, and the mill
stood motionless for a given time, as
If in grief over the loss of Its owner.
When the church bells tolled, marking
the procession of the funeral from
church or home to the cemetery, the
boardless blades were turned in uni
son with the bells. When the wife
of the miller died, 10 boards of the
blades were removed; for child of
the family, 10 boards; for the miller's
parents, II boards, and so on down
the line Of relationship to the children
of cousins, for whom one board was
emOved.-YOuth's Companion.

struck, although considerably more
sherry was involved in the transac-

Origin of Flowers' Names

The purple fox-glove, which blooms
in its greatest profusion on Irish hill
sides, is so called because it is be-
lieved that tho fairies use these
blooms for gloves during some of their
ceremonies. The rosemary, an ever
green shrub of the mint family, is
native of the Mediterranean regions,
and takes its name from the Latin
word, rosmarinus, which means sea
dew. This is accounted for by the
fact thar when this shrub is seen in
massed form 1t looks like blue gray
mist blown over the fields from the
sea. The iris comes to us from the
Greek word meaning rainbow. The
primrose is derived from the Latin
words, prima rosa, the first rose of

Forest Fires

The forest service says that the
amount of damage caused by fire to
forests depends entirely on the type
of fire. There are three classes of fro
superficial fire, which burns leaves
of the trees and is not necessarily
dangerous; crown fire, which burma
through the branches and kills them
and is very dangerous and disastrous
deep ground fire, which burns off the
roots deep under the trees and de.
stroys the trees and makes very dan
gerous fire. In burning land the fire
consumes all the rotted leaves and
destroys the SOIL leaving the mineral
element.
