Plenty Seats Available
for Football This Fall

About 100000 seats will be avail
able for western conference football
fans each Saturday during the cam
paign this year. And there will be
10000 extra seats for overflow
crowds. The new stand at Chicago Is
responsible for most of the extra
seats. About 1900 more fans will
see the Maroons play than last sea-
son. Northwestern's new stadium
will seat about 10000 now, and near
10000 when completed. Chicago will
seat 10000 when present plans are
realized. Ohio State has the largest
stadium in the Big Ten, with ca
pacity of $4,000, and 10000 more when
occasion demands. Illinois can seat
about $4,000 with extra space
for 10000. Indiana has nice little
memorial stadium, and it seats about
$4,000. The Big Ten is gradually COM
ing around to the big stadium idea,
and before many years the ten schools
will all have large new arenas.

Bull Ring Gives Way to
Boxing Game in Mexico

Blood and sand are fast giving way
to canvas and resin in the Republic of
Mexico with the sports element of the
South stunning the arena of bull
fights for the squared ring Of boxing.
Just few steps over the interna-
tional boundary line at Nogales, Ariz..
is bull ring erected several years
ago on an suspicious occasion when
Juan Silveti, ace of Mexican "torea-
DORIS" visited there and fought. The
ring saw its debut and finale on the
self-same day, for with the conclusion
of the Silveti appearance no further
bull fights have been given.
Then came boxing, general re-
building and new sport. Within the
arena there appeared tiers of seats,
a ring and thousands of followers of
the padded fist Bull fighting gave I'M
contested supremacy to fighting.
The applause and plaudits of the
public, once directed at famed torea-
doris, are now for the slugger and
puncher.

Longest Grid Run Made
on Lardner's Kickoff

There always has been some dispute
as to the longest run ever made in a
football game.
The longest run ever made in a
football game was reeled off by East,
halfback on the Niles high school
team Of Michigan, date 1904.
In that game East ran back a
mighty kickoff delivered by Ring
Lardner, of the high school veterans
team, just $50 yards. Impossible? Here
Is the evidence from the Niles Daily
Sun of % years ago, presented in a
story of the game:
"a feature of the game was East's
long run for touchdown, catching the
ball 20 yards back Of the goal line
on Lardner's record breaking kickoff
which carried over the goal bar. East,
from 20 yards back of the goal line,
traversed the entire field and ran 100
yards to touchdown"
The field In those days was no
yards in length, so the added 20 yards
sets a record which probably will
never be broken.

"a boy" shifted Levine, land who'd
have mothered little Patience If she'd
been a boy?"
That's right-yet, look at that lit

Both the men smiled while Lydia
blushed.
"What are you going to do with
that doll furniture, Lydia?" asked
John Levine.
"I'm going to make doll house for
little Patience, for Christmas" Lydia
gave an uncomfortable wriggle.
'Don't talk about me so much"
You're working long way ahead"
commented Amos "That was your
mothers trait. l wish I'd had 1t.

Lydia rose reluctantly, her book un-

went on; "go to bed and to sleep, d.

Lydia looked around for safe
place for the book and finally climbed
up on a chair and laid it on the top
shelf Of the sideboard. Then she
came back to her fathers side and
lifted her face for her goodnight kiss.
Goodnight. my child" said Amos.
"How about me-" asked Levine.

He pulled Lydia to him and kissed
her gently on the cheek. IF you

"Then we'd travel" said the child
with happy giggle as she ran out

There was silence for moment,

she does the rough work, and she's
honest and fond of the children"
"Still Lydia ought to have better
chance. / wish you'd let me-" he
hesitated
Let you what?" asked Amos.
Nothing. She'd better work out
ting to notice things around the house
as she grows older"
''It Is the DEVILS own mess here"
admitted Amos. I'm going to move
next month. This place has got on
my nerves. I've got to get into a
place where can have a garden. If
we go further out Of town we can get
more land for less rent"
.'It's good idea to have a garden"
said John Levine. 81 tell you, take
that cottage Of mine out near the
lake. I'll let you have 1t for what
you pay for this. It'll be empty the
first of September"
"T1l go you," said Amos. TITS as

Again silence fell. Then Amos
said, John, why don't you go to con-
gress? Not today, or tomorrow, but
maybe four or five years from now"
Nice question for one poor man
to put to another" said Levine, with
short laugh.

her head and her eyes little heavy

morning of play, made her look

wouldn't confess, even to himself, how
fond he was Of Lydia.
"Here," he said gruffiy. 81 can't

she asked.
"Mardyl Mardyl" screamed Pa
tience, tugging at her leash.
"Oh, rats, It's Margery Marshall.
Look at the buds on her. She makes

"Shes crazy about little Patience"
answered Lydia, $50 l put up with a
lot from her."
She loosed her hold on Patience.
The baby trundled along the sand to
meet the little girl in an immaculate
white sailor suit, who approached
pushing doll buggy large enough to
hold Patience. She ran to meet the
baby and kissed her, then allowed
her to help push the doll carriage.

ed Patience.
Margery's black hair was in a long
braid, tied with a wide white ribbon.
Margery's hands were clean and so
were her white stockings and shoes.
She brought the dolls carriage to
pause before Lydia and Kent and
gazed at them appraisingly out of
bright black eyes-beautiful eyes,

"She isn't in 1t with Florence Dom

During the game of pirates, Flor

willow branch, in lieu of yardarm,
and had remained dangling there in
the wind, forgotten by her mother.
Kent placed her in Patience's car

American golfers have kept the
Walker cup ever since 1t was put up
by George Herbert Walker, former
president Of the United States Golf
association, in 1920.
They say there are over 5000 golf
courses In this country. In time we
suppose our people may abandon the
drudgery of the farm and put all the
terrain in golf courses.

signed a football stadium In which

Bird Sacred to Indians

The ptarmigan, like the Indian, Is
susceptible to civilizing influence.
Since the Indians of the Glacier Ma
tional park reservation took up agri-
culture, this mountainside bird has
come down into the valleys, even to
mingle with the barnyard chickens and
eat of the Indians wheat.
The ptarmigan turns pure white like
snowshoe rabbit In the winter time,
and the Indian has sacred regard
for the feathered creature in this Inn
