Neither Walter Hagen nor Joe Klrk-I' wood uses a baffy on the putting greens not even ln tho case ot snow, j ; Football Is a game. Games are necessary. Football players take hard knocks for a common cause THAI' is a lesson. Genius Is defined as an Inflnlto capacity lor taking pains. ' Football teaches young men to take Infinite pains That, too ,1s a lesson. I A season leads to one big game to j victory or failure. There are disap polntments ln life as well as ln foot-, foot-, ball. Football teaches young men to ' absorb defeats and to prepare for I victory for next year. It Is easier to teach boys and young men the fundamentals funda-mentals of life through games than by books. Tho football season is not a TOTAL waste qt time. PAGE A SALE8M N. At a dinner recently held In honor of a well known tighter ln Boston, tho guest of honor lingered long on tho subject of saving money and ad-vised ad-vised all the boys to lay up enough I for a rainy day then closed his re-marks re-marks With "Every man should leave '. his wife enough life Insurance to in-j in-j tercst a better man tho next time." A mouthful. The nlhjjiil fr.imc-up between Rattling Rat-tling sikl ami ;eorges Carpontli r i- huge joke.

"In fact Carpentler's own -.purring partners could knot k vki for goal, in my opinion, Sikl is making his bast standi his popularity having dropped materially within tin- jei-t few weeks. His victory startled the world at the lime he managed to defeat Carpentler, Carpen-tler, but I am sure that his alleged frame-up story is his final trump ! card. He will in all probability bv barred from the ring in tho lending ountties of the world as the men at the head of "lit affair, put little thought to his yarn." GOLF PSYCHOLOGY HERE. Golf psychology as applied to confidence con-fidence in a club Is an unknown quantity, and sometimes results In queer quirks. A few days ago one of-Philadelphia's of-Philadelphia's most enthusiastic and popular golfers started out In a four- jH some and en the first gTeen mined his putter He sent his caddy back to the locker lor It, meantime borrowing borrow-ing a club from his partner. He promptly ran down an 18-footer. Elated by hlj euceess ho continued j( I to use the borrowed Club throughout the round. On the first nine holorf he sank five putts of ten feet or over, and to the end never missed a short one As a result he achloved a very tancy ocore, and eventually annexed a n.-w putter. In all golf strokes, tho ! confidence gained by a successful ef-forl ef-forl helps more so in the matter of I putting tnan ln any other department, Inasmuch as on the. green, tho physl-. physl-. al lemeint is minimized. If you should wander to a ball yard nowadays, dear fan, and sec a big league team spill twenty-eight errors i in ono matinee, you would do one of A,, things, demand your money back l or feel that the performance was so (' rotten that It was good, and let It go at that, writes A- H. Tarvin, ln the Sporting News. Such a record A was hung up by the Brooklyn American Amer-ican Association team on June 17, lv:,;, the record still standing on tho llr ord chart Four days previous to i the establishment of this record the Louisville club tallied 20 errors. They had a lot of Hague and Hague, And some Geneva, too; , Results are what you might expect- They all left ln a stew. 9 The Ke'l Harvard gridiron sohed-ule sohed-ule will be for eight games, one less than the schedule of this season. Princeton will be played as usual, two weeks before the game with Yale. Centre will be dropped. Virginia or Ii rth Carolina may talce tho place of Florida. Dartmouth will ln all probability prob-ability remain on tho schedule. In-stead In-stead of opening the season late ln .September, the schedule for tho Harvard Har-vard warriors will not open unth October G. U Promoters are making another effort ef-fort to draw Johnny Kllbane into the ring and have him risk his tttlo. If the Clevelander refuses they want him to renounce his title and give someone some-one else a chance- We fear Johnny won't consent to this, and yet you .ant tell when they'll abdicate. Only tho other day Senator Newberry re-; re-; signed. LYNCH ON SCENIC TOUR. Joe Lynch, bantamweight boxing champion of tho world, Is slated to journey to the Pacific coast within the n t few' weeks for a number of engagements.
