It was Colonel John who first stood out In front of the tent and who first shouted: "He eats 'em alive" According to P. T. Barnum.

Colonel John was It was In ths 1894 year that Colonel Hopkins conceived the Idea of increasing the area of hls vaudeville circuit He made up hla mind to Invade England and Australia. He did Invade England, and then net sallfor Australia. Arriving In the latter country, he thought of Bob Pltxalmmons and Youtyr Griffo. who came to America from Kangaroo land and whipped all the boxr-- s without half trying. Haven't you any more boxers like Fits and Griffo?" asked the colonel of a Kan garoo. "Plenty of 'em," was the reply. There's Pan Creedon, our best middleweight Just now. He lives over there In Inveraorglll, New Zealand, and can beat all the Then there's Tommy Troeyr rlght here In Melbourne, who has drubbed the life out of all the lightweights.1 "Trot them out, said the colonel, "and I'll take them back to America with me and match them against the beet we have over there." middle-weight- t i I d, Students of University Plan Send-of- f for Tecan y of changed to Southerners Beat New York ers by Small Margin; Virginian Individual Star.

Another month wTU see th southern courses open-n- g up and the great number of winter golfers will follow the good example of the birds and seek a warmer climate. Years ago, or when golf was in Its Infancy m this country, there were few good golf courses available fof winter resort players. Now there are hundreds of o ones. Florida alone, hn more than fifty, and other points In the south have many good one There are rumors cf more to come. The purpose of this article, however, was rqt to discuss golf courses, but the plavers who frequent them, I called attention some Time ago to the great amount of golf played by the golfers on a tour. Jim Barnes and myself had a long siege of It last winter, and It looks as though I am going to do some more this season, hut with another partner. After we finished our three and a half months' trip Jim and I were pretty tired There is no doubt but what our golf showed It In the very first tournament we took part 'in after landing In the south. A big tquestlon is How much golf can a player stand and not feel the effects of the strain of traveling? There le the deeper Jumps, the taxi to and from the clu and the thought of catching trains always uppermost In. ones mind. The best of golf cannot be played under these conditions. Hagen and Kirkwood had their' fling et tha touring golf this psst summer. Hagen waa In wonderful form st the time he won the British championship and hls game did not show the least signs of deterioration in Chicago, unless It was Just a trifle ragged Jim Barnes and myself were M splendid condition abroad, but we after the Chicago affair, Golfers often think that the more they play the better the become. Thla Is true for a short period, but only a short stretch of time. I never knew anyone who could go through a season at top speed, playing day in and day out. flrst-cli.r- "o' dalasi 4 'if L, --- Regular Cords I t half-centu- Admissions Satisfactory. fell-awa- e. : . nd Inrtiei. 5 WORLD SERIES PLAYERS GIVEN THEIR REWARDS Mile relay race- Mississippi, New York, Nebraska Louisiana ' Time, 47 seconds. minutes, 49 Final point score: MissisNew York, 47; Nebraska. 27 CHICAGO.

Duncan and Mitchell were able to weather the trip here this year a little better because It was an old story with them. At times the golf displayed by the Britishers has been wonderful to behold Taylor and Hurd proved to fee an Interesting combination. They took part lit many matches, but there was mors of a strain on each one of them. Both have passed the mark, and thirty-si- x holes a day is a hard grlnu. fin some They played golf here, and at other times were beaten hadly.

Exhibition matches have been popular hero this summer, with teams doing exhibition practically nothing else hut look work. Clubs hsve begun to Upon as this sort of thing a leading feature of the summer season. The members ask for these matches and are willing to provide the funds. A popular way of raising money for exhibition matches has been In charging admission. This tax of one or two dollars per person hat not been a drain on anyone's packet and the club Itself came out on the safe side. A club that cannot see its way clear to give this kind of entertainment and have something left over is not managed as It should be. Serving numerous dinners and luncheons, besides the large number of soft drinks, brings In a lot of revenue. One New England club guaranteed the and then players a thousand dollars charged gate money. The revenue taken In was. surprising. Indeed. Not only did they clear the purse offered four' times over, but there was some revenue left on soft drinks and luncheons. The United States Golf association charged admlas on for the first time thisseason, and the result was highly satisfactory. fiometi hing close to 230,000 was raised, which 4111 go Into the treasury the work planned a year ago.
