Coast
BY DOUG BILLNIEYER

SPOKANE, Wash, Feb. 5. CUP)-
Once again Esmeralda, versatile,
gay and prankiSh mare has gone
skittering into the national head
lines.
Esmeralda-if the name is un-
familiar - is the alwayS-laughing,
tousle-headed horse who is symbolic
of the Spokane athletic round table,
one of the nations leading organi-
cations for the advancement Of
sports and sportsmanship.
Yes, Esmeralda again is Whinny-
ing in her beer. Through the good
efforts of the round table, the city
of Spokane has landed the ma
tional professional golfers associa-
ton tourney which will be held at
the Manito golf and country club
here Aug. 1920.
Never missing a chance to rib
someone, the club commemorated
this event sending one of its now
famous postal cards to every hotel,
club, lodge, church and sports
writer in the nation.
The card depicts a be-wigged
Quaker in velvet suit and buckled
shoon saying: L prithee, lay thee
off the P. G.. A., equine, we are
most ten times the size of thee"
The Quaker represents the City
Of Philadelphia repeatedly most
non-plussed at missing its try for
one of golfdoms most famous tour
neys
To this quaint speech, Esmeralda
the horse, replies:
Cut the double talk. You mean
you are ten times as dizzy. We got
the P. G.. A. and you can bet your
short pants against the Coulee dam
that well put on the best tourna-
ment yet"
The round table bid $4,000 for
golfings prize package, and then
announced the entire proceeds will
be turned over to charity - prob
ably the Red Cross and Baxter
General hospital for army person.

ounces of a special formula at n
time. The slightest cold, or any
deviation in the regularity of her
life might cause her death.
Mrs. Matthes maintains a day and
night vigil at the crib, feeding the
cid, protecting her from drafts,
and seeing that she is not disturb
ed. And she takes care of her
home and her normal four-year-old
boy, Arnold.
Paul Matthes, the father, a mill
ing machine operator, is busy at
war work and has little time to help
Mrs. Matthes care for the child.
She said she has no relatives to
help and no funds to hire a nurse,
or to put the child in a hospital.
And the doctors tell her that her
care will be in vain.
But I won't quit she said, she's
my baby"

CHICAGO, Feb. 5. CUP) - Baby
Paulette Matthes, who weighs three
ounces less than she did at birth
year ago, smiled Saturday, and a
mother found hope that she may
not have endangered her own life
in vain.
1t was the first time she ever
smiled" said the mother, Mrs. Paul
Matthes. Maybe it means she will
grow now
Baby Paulette clings to the
world by slender thread. She is
the victim of so.netning unseen and
developing. Physicians cannot di-
agnose the trouble. They know of
no cure and expressed amazement
that Paulette has lived so long.
MOTHERS WILL HOLDS
But Mrs. Matthes knows the an
swer. Tie baby is alive because a
determined mother has refused to
give up, and has given the infant
constant care until she has de-
veloped serious heart ailment
Her physician has ordered her to
bed, but she has refused to heed
her advice.
The mother has done wonder
full job with that baby" DR.. A. j.
Nikosia said, but she has endan-
gered her own life through over
work and worry"
DR.. Nikosia said the infants troI'-
BILE is unusual, but not entirely
new.
I'VE cannot say just what caused
this he said. THE wonder is that
the baby is still alive. BY medical
rules she should have died eight
months ago"
On her first birthday Feb. l,
Paulette weighed six pounds, two
ounces. She was of the same
height and of the same develop
ment as at birth.

 Attended by i5.s22 fans. 1t was a bout in which both Negro fighters went all out, although they had do- mated their services. Moreover, both were in unexpectedly good ring cOE- dition despite their lack of cOmpeti- ton in the army, The bout was so close that Judge Prank Forbes voted five rounds for each.

BERTUCCIO SET TO FORM CHASE
 BOCCI ARRAYS

If you bowl. you'll like bocci, says Charlie Bertucclo. Dept. i7 worker at the Factory, who is organizing a bocci lcageu of Chase workers.
 Four bocci. or turf bowling courts, have been installed bf the Chase Foremen's Association on the ath- letic field behind the Noera plant. and they're open daily nadSudn and they're open daily and Sundays to an Chase employees.
 Charlie invites all Chase workers to try out the game and to organize four-man teams for the company league.
 He plans tournament and matches with teams representing Fuller Brush Co. Hartford; U. s. Rubber Co.. Naugatuck. the Scovill Mfg. Co. and American Brass CO and other Waterbury industries.
 Explaining the game. Charlie says eight large balls and a smaller ball, called the jack-bal. comprise thhe entire equipment. In team play each player uses one ball. To dis tinguish the balls in team play. four are plain and four are engraved.
 A player winning toss of a coin at the start of the game losses the Jack-ball down the alley, then throws a large ball as close as pos- sible to the jack-ball. Each suc- ceeding player attempts to throw a large ball closer to the jack ball, knocking the opponents ball away, if necessary.
 The team whose ball is farthest away from the jack-ball must throw until it can place ball closer. The winning side scores one or more points according to the number of balls it has closest to the jack bail.
 The game places a premium on a sure eye and a steady hand and features looping shots through the air to knock opponents balls away from the jack-ball. The game has been popularized by men and women of Italian descent, but Charlie says everybody likes it.
 The bocci veteran says the Noera alleys, which are about 30 feet long and l4 feet wide, are among the best in the state.
