The Kenwood pro is DESTROYS
of keeping Kenwood in the head

Of the pros hereabouts do, that

Inaugurates Plan
Therefore he has inaugurated
a plan whereby a section Of his
shop will be turned over to a
publicity division. Herein will be
names of players-plenty of them
tournament schedules, handi-
cap figures, newspaper clippings
and whatever else is needed to
incorporate in a firSt-clasS pub
licity department. One of WIFI
fy's assistants will be placed in
charge of the Kenwood Bureau
of Information, and will phone
in tournament scores and other
choice notes daily to the press.
Such a bureau can only be re-
ferred to as gen." or something
along those lines. And it would
be tip for other pros, who have
an eye for modern improvement
to rip a page or two from WHY'S
book of tricks.
Played at Charleston
Due to ailments and one hard
luck streak after another during
the past winter, Cox was unable
to play in more than four tourna-
ments. And just when he started
to get "hot," 10, and behold! the
Southern play was concluded. For
tunately, however, he did play in
the Masters, the Augusta, Pine
hurst North-South and the pic
turesque Gardens tourney at
Charleston, S. c. It wasn't until
he hit the Gardens, however, that
he really hit his stride.
But he is back at Kenwood now,
starting his second year, and rarin'
to so. He has yet to draw up his
schedule for the coming season,
but he claims this will be ready
by the end Of the week. He is

SON PLANS TO TAKE CASE TO JUDGE Lands
Phil FUR Loses,
But Fans Differ

Phil Furr's admirers don't know
whether to laugh or weep.
Phil, you know, is the Districts
welterweight champion, and last
night, after a heated bout with
tough Werther Arcelli, veteran
Boston boxer, the invader was
given the verdict, although Phil's
admirers thought he won by a
city block and Arcelli's supporters
felt certain he had won by the
same margin. To add further
mystery to the whole affair, some
critics figured the mixup exactly
even. Apparently it's a case Of
take your choice and give the
devil the hindmost.
Boo Decision
It seemed to an outsider that
most of the 1900 spectators
seemed to think that FUR had

"He knew what to give every

American Association was loaded
in those days with smart fellows
who were fresh back from the
major leagues and who, with
their Smart-Alec stuff learned

tricks of terrOrizing the pitchers.
Good as Griff was in the run
of the mine game, he seemed to
almost Guido his normal cum
ming when a game was tight or
when a crisis was at hand.
"He had a slick curve that
baffled the best of 'em, and. too,
Griff knew how to save himself
when the score warranted it.

init a little hitting and give a
base on balls or two.

There were no knockdowns.

AMUSED SELF BY PLAYING
WITH BILLS ON HER FLOOR

The millions Mrs. Ida Wood used
to strew on the parlor floor to amuse
herself are little closer today to
the pockets of her heirs-whoever
they are.
Judge James A. Foley, of surro-
gates court in New York City, an
nounced he was ready to begin sift-
ing out the 1,107 claimants to the
eccentric widows wealth. Claims to
the fortune Mr.. Wood carried around
in paper bags will be entered until
April 80.
The problem is one of the most
complex in the history of the New
York courts. 1t was made so because
the little old lady willed all her
money to two people who died be-
fore her death in March, 1882.
Degrees of kinship are expected to
decide who gets how much of a
board that goes back to gold rush
days and was estimated in 1886 at
$877, 1882.
Benjamin Wood, the old lady's
husband and owner of the old New
York Daily News, won much of his
wealth in gambling. After he died,
Mrs. Wood sold the newspaper for
$4,000.

STRIKERS IN HUNGARIAN
MINES FIGHT UNDER SOD

Seventeen miners, most of them
staggering and bloody, escaped from
a strike-locked coal mine the first Of
the week with grisly tales of fighting
below between self-appointed pick
cts, armed with hatchets, axes and
picks, and other miners who wanted
to quit a stay-down hunger strike.
Fourteen of those who reached the
surface were injured because they
had to fight their way past the pic
kets, who, they said, were "crazy."
They reported several of 100 men
still in the mine were almost dead"
Three escaped by ruse.
Some of those who escaped said as
they left the mine they heard sounds
of battles continuing below as 9TH
ers, firing of the hunger strike which
BEGAN last week, tried to fight their
way out.
Tension increased in the mining
town. Several miners were arrested
for violating orders posted against
lettering or collecting in groups.
Attempts to negotiate settlement
were deadlocked. Strikers refused
to enter a conference when they
learned work was going in other pits
