The table did look nice, Marga- ret thought. The candles shed a mellow light on the linen, and made the crystalware almost trans parent, except where a rim caught the gentle rays and diffused them. The elder Mrs Bond was talking about her trip, and Margaret stole her first moment of relaxation since Ada Mays arrival behind a mask of polite interest

 Yes, mother" said Elliot.
 I couldn't help but think of him all the hours we spent at the Grand canyons rim" Mrs Bond continued. "The guide threw u stone and told us it would be two minutes before it fell in the river. Elliot's breakfast eggs haunted me the rest of the day"
 Margaret gulped some water.

 It was Mrs Bonds turn to sniff. II did, didn't I?"
 Perhaps you'd like to talk with Ada May" suggested Margaret in discreet voice.
 Mrs Bond considered this a good idea. Ada May appeared when Margaret tinkled the bell. Her curtsey shook the table.
 Well" said Mrs Bond stiffly. Gan you always cook as well as you have to-nisht?"
 'I dunno" grinned Ada May.
 You don't know?" Mrs Bond was irritated. Why not?"
 "Cuz I ain't tech'd a thing yet" said Ada May. Her grin split wid- CT. "All does Is taste. Miss Nah gret dun cooked ev'ry last vittle on dat table,"

THE father Of the new science"
Of pugilism was the fighter
promoter. Jack Broughton,
founder OF the Broughton
school of the bare fist. He first rose
to prominence as protege Of Fig.
Says writer in the Sporting Mag
azine who knew him: THE history of
almost every pugilist sufficiently proves
that the mind, whatever may be
hazarded to the contrary, Is very much
interested in all contests of this ma
ture. 1t is the origin Of motion and
the body is its slave. Broughton was
superior to all others In mental pow
ers. His sagacity in discovering the
weakness of an adversary enabled him
to overcome many to whom he was in
ferior in bodily force. His favorite
blows were straight, and especially one
planted directly in the middle of the
stomach. He used round blows, par
ticularly when he wanted to strike his
antagonist under the left ear"

that State, which are due to start
today with the playing of the Cali
fornia open. However the big show
in California will not open until just
before Christmas, when Pasadena will
stage a $4,000 open event. And along
about Christmas the Australian team
will land in Los Angeles from the
Antipodes, presenting more dire
threats to the men they left at
home.
Runyan, Cooper, Wood, Laffoon
and their pals who have been in
Australia all will play in the Cali
fornia events. Back to Florida they
will come late in February, but the
prize dough so far announced for
three or four events in that State
does not total as much as the dough
put up for the one tournament now
in progress at Coral Gables.
Houghton started the final day OF
the Biltmore tourney today with q
54-hole total of 227, needing better
than rs over the last round to grab
off major slice Of the prize money.
He was tied at that figure with John
Farrell, Tommy Armour, Gene Kunes,
FRANK Walsh and Willie MacFarlane.
Down in the second division Bob
Barnett and Mel Shorey haven't much
chance 10 get q slice Of money with
54-hole aggregates of 239 and 234.
Harry Graham, Rock Creek Park
manager, isn't so sanguine about the
chances of holding another tourna-
ment before Christmas. Looks as
if we are going to have a lot Of
snow this Winter" Harry said. "But
I'll stage another one If we can find
couple of good days." You can't

4--The
First Rules
Of
Boxing

3. Only the men and their seconds
on the stage.
4. The winner gets two-thirds Of
the money, to be publicly divided on
the stage, notwithstanding any pri-
vate agreement to the contrary.
S. The principal will choose from
the audience two umpires to decide
all disputes. If these cannot agree.
they themselves choose a third.
6. No person is to hit his adversary
when he is down, or seize him by the
hair, or any part below the waist; a
man on his knees to be reckoned
down.
The last battle in which Broughton
took part in person brought about
his downfall. At the Hounslow races
he had threatened to horsewhip one
Slack, the Norwich Butcher. The
quarrel was fought out on the stage
of his arena. This Slack was a
notably heavy hitter and stubborn
fighter. He kept his right hand
close to the pit Of his stomach and
had rather be knocked down than
shift his position
He was credited with originating the
chopper" blow, which was the chief
weapon Of the later British-Jewish
champion. Daniel Mendoza. 1t was a
blow on the face with the back of the
hand.

First Rules Drawn.

TROM 1743 to 1749 there were bat
n ties every week at Broughton's
during the season" To in
crease his revenue he opened boxing
school for gentlemen, and to this must
be credited the first Introduction Of
boxing gloves. Says the Sporting
Magazine historian:
"He invited the young gentlemen Of
the army and any other young men
of spirit to engage under his direc-
ton and promised to secure their
arms and wrists with muff1ers so that
nothing might be apprehended by the
softest hand and tenderest skin"
Following are the rules drawn up
by Broughton. probably the first
actually formulated rules of the new
sport:
la square of yard will be chalked
in the middle Of the stage, and on
every fresh set-to after fall, or on
being parted from the rails, each sec
ond is to bring his man to the side
of the square and place him opposite
the other, and until they are fairly
set-to at the line it shall not be law
full for one to strike the other.
2. The second must get his man TO
such square In 80 seconds.

play ball in the same league with
Jeems when the Greek is bearing

cision so far committed here, Christy

on the first tee, with the temperature
