trials by Detroit and Washington.
However, a trick football knee
ruined his big league days.
Gagnon broke into the college
football limelight with the

He enrolled in Holy Cross in 1919

left-haIfback for three years and
starring against such teams as Har.

Georgetown.
He Joined the Detroit Tigers after
finishing his college course. but that
football knee, which he favored
when fielding and running bases,
was a drawback and he was shifted
to Rochester of the international
League. He was sent to Washing

Pitcher Francis to the Tigers, but
failed to stick here. He afterwards
played with New Haven of the East

without losing their balance and tipping over
ON their sides with resultant spill.
The usual procedure is for one member OF
the crew to stand In one end Of a car, with q
second man at the door. The others, with the
milk station employees, are stretched out in q
line to wherever the cans awaiting the
loading. The starter takes can, tips it on
one edge until it is balanced and then sends
1t spinning toward the next man, maybe 2
feet away and maybe 40 feet This man,
without even stopping it, seizes 1T and gives it
a fresh whirl and so on until the man at the
door catches it on the roll and 0iverts it to
the last man waiting in the car, who places
it in position.
1t is remarkable how quickly few men can
load car Of milk by this method, with only
very rare instances when can gets away and
spills.

Kozeluh, the Czechoslovakian professional cham
pion, the greatest net man cz the day. As yet,
though, professional tennis remains putout at
first base.
In golf and tennis, not only do the stars of
the Old World come over, but our own bright
est young men go across for the British and
French events. The French have as yet be-
come no threat in golf, but perhaps it is just
as well they do not go in for it when you con-
slider the success they achieved in tennis
Bill Tilden probably will tell you himself that
he won the national singles championship in
1928 largely because there were no Frenchmen
lurking about the courts It seems that, in
tennis at least, as many million Frenchmen as
you care to mention can't ever be wrong.
THERE is little doubt that Henri Cochet is
- the greatest amateur tennis player In the
world today. That might be changed to read
greatest player in the world" but for the fact
that there is Czech who may be even greater.
But here the woefu1 fact Is faced that the
Czech, Karel Kozeluh. accepts checks for his
services and thus is barred from meeting Cochet
here or any other place.
If an open tournament In tennis could be
arranged to bring together the great amateur
and professional stars such as Cochet, Kozeluh,
Borotra, Brugnon, La CoSte, Tilden, Lott and
the ladies' Helen Wills and Suzanne, there
would be a concrete way Of deciding the cham
pionship. But this seems to be farthest from
the minds of the q. S. L. T. A. and the other
tennis governing bodies. The very possibility OF
q stirring final match between Cochet and
Kozeluh would be one of the greatest things for
tennis that ever occurred. But let us not be
wasteful of words.
In womans golf there is an international an
gle which the United States seems unable to
fiatten. The big part of the angle is Miss Joyce
Wethered, the British wonder. For the fifth
time, Miss Glenna Collect, our very best golfer,
is going to Great Britain in May to try to win
the British open.

Welc0me Game Preserves.

IN spite OF closed seasons, bag limits and
other means of preserving the wild life Of
the country, the Nations supply of wild fowl
is getting every year smaller. The opening
of the hunting sport to thousands of men
through the automobile has, of course, had
much to do with the declining numbers of birds,
but decreased acreage Of water and marsh land
is playing an equally important part.
The passage of the game refuge bill viii be
a long step toward the rapid defamation Of the
f1ocks of birds, but much is yet to be done In
making effective the game preserves provided
in the BILL At present, there are 81 refugees
set aside by the Federal Government, but much
work must be done in getting them into active
working order.

can beat any golfer In the world except Miss
Wethered. The year 1880 also holds delightful
possibility of Miss Wethereds coming to the
United States to show one and all how golf
should be played. The possibility of her being
beaten at this stage looks to be remote.
british golfers who played in the amateur at
Pebble Beach this year, led by Cyril Tolley,
may return in 1880. They must be taken Seri-
ously of course, as anybody with set OF golf
clubs and some balls to hit has possibilities. But
this phase of the international invasion will not
go very far. One great reason is Bobby Jones.
other reasons are a few defending golfers who
play nearly as well as Mr.. Jones.
Mr.. Jones himself was defeated in the anna
teur this year, and short time ago there was a
rumor TO the effect that he would retire When
the golf season rolls around-for regions not
blessed with the sunshine of the South and Pa
cifc coast-the world shall see what is what
about Mr.. Jones' retirement. It Is the personal
desire and belief of every follower of golf that
Bobby Jones will not retire before the age of S6.
The reason for both desire and belief IS the
Same-that Mr.. Jones plays golf.
Time after time millionaire from Great
Britain, who Is also gentleman, has come to
America in the heroic effort to win the Amer
icas Cup. which is regarded as the yachting
trophy without peer. The same gentleman, Sir
Thomas Upton is coming again in 1880 to see
what he can do about 1t.
Four American yachts will vie for the honor
of representing America against the Shamrock
v, which is the Upton challenger. During July
and August a series of contests will be staged.
The international series, to be decided by the
best four out Of seven races will be started of
Sandy Hook beginning September 13.
The Upton invasion is one which a great
many yachting devotees regard with kindly
eyes. Sir Thomas is old and he has spent for

in defeat, and has returned to try again. If a
popular vote were taken and the contest decided

= ish, too. The English will send team to
try to win the historic Westminster Cup, with
about as much chance of winning as cowboy
has of riding from here to Bombay on the back
of centipede.
Three times have the British tried to win that
award, and each time have been repealed The
Nottingham Club which has charge of the ar.
rangements in England has named as captain
of the challenging team Capt. Charles H. Tre-
competition. The British team will be found
to have a rating of 80 goals, while the Defend

jr, has 35-goal rating.
Wrestling offers the same international angle
that prevails in boxing and needs only some
lucky and wise promoter to realize a nice profit.
Gus Sonnenberg remains champion by virtue Of
his defeats of Stranger Lewis, in so far as q
great many people are concerned.
New York, Pennsylvania and flock of other
States, however, do not seem to know who Mr..
Sonnenberg is, and have acclaimed as champion
OF champions Dick Shikat, burly German.
Eventually the two may be brought together.
Forecasting about foot ball for 1880 would be
a polite but empty gesture. Every Friday dur

"Nothing-With those you have

Were you wearing such shirt
and tie on Friday night, Bailey?"
McMann demanded.
''Well-what if [ WASP" Bailey re-
