are making this story into q play
depicting the most important
things in his life.
In English we are doing social

to improve our English in our
everyday life, being sociable in
meeting people and carrying on an
intelligent conversation is only a
small part of our task.
In the Eighth Grade we are
about to begin study of the Civil
War. We are going to trace its
beginnings back to the geography
of our country. We have already
learned that the North became in

agricultural. Later we shall study
the war itself and the effect it had
on the South.
In Science we have been study

The Night Has A Thousand Eyes

The Night Has A Thousand Eyes
Francis William Bourdillon
1852-1921
The night has thousand eyes,
and the day but one;
Yet the light of the bright world
dies
With the dying sun.
The mind has thousand eyes,
And the heart but one;
Yet the light of a whole life dies
When love is done.
The above poem has been choos-
en- as the poem of the week It
was written by British poet and
has attained wide popularity and
has many times been set to music.

Demaret walked and conceded it by

Sarazen wanted to know whv
Damaret would concede such a
tough putt, particularly when it
meant his defeat.
Jimmy grinned and answered:

ing beautiful golf all day and I've
been lucky to stay this far. When
I'm playing this way don't deserve

he said: Listen, Henry. this is a

don't aim to play golf any way but

Legal Battles Threatened
To Iron Out Fistic Rows
By Jack Sords

NEW YORK, Jan. %. (UP)-The
new theme song for Squashed Nose

This refrain seems particularly
fitting. now that Jack KearnS of De
troit threatens legal action against
Mike Jacobs Of New York ct al, and
Mike Jacobs threatens legal action
against the Hollywood, Cal, Ameri-
can Legion ct al.
Jack Kearns. who taught Jack
Dempsey how. to use a left hook and
bow to make and spend several mil
lion dollars, is. shadow boxing with
several Detroit attorneys today pre-
paratory to trying to halt the sche-
duled Bob Pastor-Lee Savold heavy
weight Is rounder at Madison
Square Garden on March /.
Kearns will halt this bout "by in
junction, if necessary" because Pas
tor and Savold were matched onlv
yesterday by Promoter Jacobs.
whereas Pastor previously had con-
tracted to tangle with Red Burman
of Baltimore at Detroit on March
IA in a IL rounder Kearns feels that
monopolist Mike Jacobs is trying to
ruin his independently produced
Detroit battle, by tossing in the
drawing card tPastoD with a very
tough opponent two weeks before.
Meanwhile Promoter Jacobs is
frowning all over his 10th century
offices because of a scheduled mid
dleweight title match between
champion Ceferino Garcia and
Henry Armstrong. at Los Angeles
on Feb. %. Uncle Mike says he'll
prevent that bout if he has to
throw all the barristers in. the
country at Garcia's manager,
George Parnassus, and the promot-
ers, which happen to be the Holly
wood post of the American Legion.
Jacobs says he has both Arm
strong and Garcia under contract
to defend their titles only for him.

Careers End


A man VINO refused to allow q
childhood injury deprive him OF
athletic glory, and whose courage
in competition aided in bringing
track and field activity to the at
Nntion OF the nations sports fans
this week announced he would re-
tire from track at the end of the
season.
His name is Glenn Cunningham
For an athlete Cunningham is not
SO old, only Is. but he has been
at this running business for a long
time. He started when he was eight
years old. when he began to trot
about the Kansas prairie to
strengthen his legs which were
burned so badly in a schoolhouse
fire that amputation was suggested.
Since 1882, when he qualified for
the Olympic team in Los Angeles
and finished fourth to lead all
American competitors home in the
1900 meters, he has been in the big
time. Heart. lungs and limbs can
stand just so much. no more
His accomplishments are almost
too numerous to list. He has
broken records at almost every dis
tance from the 40 yard dash up
to and including the mile. He still
holds every collegiate mile record.
the worlds indoor mile record and
the worlds indoor 1000 yard record
But he rode to glory on the mile
He became the mile king" when
he broke the worlds outdoor record
at the Princeton invitational meet
in 1894. He was clocked in 4:06.7.
but the International Amateur
Athletic Federation recorded it as
1868. He held that record four
years-until Sydney Wooderson ran
paced mile in England in 1864
on August %. 1885
Cunningham crowning achieve
ment came in the twilight of his
career-less than two years ago
He turned in the fastest mile ever
run by man. On DaTtmouth's re-
silent indoor oval-6-2/3 laps to
the mile-Glenn ran. a paced mile
III A:044 for a record that seems
likely to remain in the books for
many day. Cunningham was the
only man that coaches ever pictured
running the dream mile"-in four
minutes flat.
His last start. Saturday night. was
winning one, but a poor perfor-
nance for HIM. He was timed in
4:l9.6. one of the slowest miles he
ever ran.

NEW YORK, Jan. %. (UP) =
Commissioner K. M. Landis' seven

ago, today threatened to ignite the
baseball world into two camps
Chain Stores VS.. Independent Own

Inasmuch as 80 per cent of the
minor league clubs are subsidized
by major league clubs, they would
seem 10 carry the heavy artillery
but Commissioner Lands dictum
of Jan. Is has riddled the minor
league foundation with ammunition
based on the judges contention that
the "prartice of farming is pro-
hibited."
Taking Commissioner Lands in
terpretations as he has handed them
down, the big major league opera
tors of farm systems have started
10 curtail their minor league opera
tions on a scale which indicates
clearly that at least 20 of the 40
''Hgues which operated last year
cannot open the 1910 season.
Conservative estimates place the
amount of capital the majors will
withdraw from minor league opera
tions at $2,0O0OOO. That means the
class D and c leagues will be des-
titute for cash and players.
The trend of events is indicated
by the following:
The St. Louis Cardinals have
withdrawn working agreements in
yolving 10 of their minor league
clubs.
The Brooklyn Dodgers have aban-
doned plans for any working agree
ments with clubs they don't own
outright.
The New York Yankees have re-
called seven working agreements in
volving their minor league tieups.
The Cardinals, Dodgers and
Yankees are three of the biggest
chain store operators and they all
admit that they cannot function
according to Lands recent Ukase
and remain within the law.
Larry MacPhail, president Of the
Dodgers. estimated that his club
will withdraw at least 100000 +, ON
