whereabout of Sadly, that old girl

attention to the growing list OF
young men banished to the outer
darkness by Judge Lands. One
thing I'll say for the judge: Once
he hits anybody, they stay hit. 1t
isn't necessary to take a recount
on the knockout.
Some of the victims accepted their
sentences in silence and never were
heard OF again. Among the latter
were Gene Paulette, OF the Phfllies;
Joe Gedeon, of the Browns. and Lee
Magee, OF the Reds. None OF them
had any connection with the 1919
scandal beyond the fact that they
were said to have admitted to hay-

the intentions Of the Black SQx
and profited accordingly. Magee.s
name, however, was linked with
other disgusting reports.
Little was heard of Benny kauff
after he was dropped by the Giants
at the solicitation Of Judge Lands.
Kauff's troubles had nothing to DO
with baseball, but out he went just
the same.

rather mysterious. but he never

everybody else in authority had

Jack Horner Wins

twelve and a half feet of water,
Jack Horner came home a win

Jack Horner won a great VIC

Washington will NOT have two
madison Square Gardens"
This was settled today in .
friendly chat between Meyer Davis,
who with George Marshall plans
to convert the old Census Building
into a sports palace, and John S.
Blick, who with his associates has
a similar scheme involving the
Arcade.
Blick will sit tight until April
1. IF by then Davis and Mar
shall are prepared to go ahead
Blick viii switch his, Arcade
plans.
If they call off the deal, which
is thought unlikely, Blick win
proceed with his original plan.
Blick's alternative is to make
the Arcade an immense bowling
and billiard establishment, contain
ing about 20 alleys and as many
tables. The Arcade market will be
maintained in any event, Bliek
said.
Neither Blick and his partners
nor Davis and Marshall have Sc
cured title to the properties in
VOWED. Blick's option cost $I0,O00.
The total cost Of the Arcade, he
said, win be S925,0O0 of which the
initial payment win be $25O, 900.
cit would be foolhardy for US to
attempt to put over two sports
palaces, Blick explained, "but the
city wants one and I believe viii

Personally, I would like to see a.

his twenty-fourth birthday on st.

How well we remember his first
appearance at the Merton Cricket

golf world with his marvellous per-

He was III years old then, chub-
by and round-faced, but despite
his youth no one ever questioned
his great promise.
He qualified easily enough that
year at Merton, making his way
to the third round at the expense
