Still, it is not all beer and skittles,” said Slim, “For >xample, the kaiserin is too good a ; mother not to have a few qualms about her sons indulging in a sport, ! which, though useful ewmough, is not | very popular in Germany and meets | with a good deal of prejudice among army officers. f “The kaiserin watched with inter- est the exercises I was putting Prince Oscar through the other day, but I think she is always a little nervous about it. ‘“Are you sure Oscar is' strong enough for boxing? she asked me when I first went to Potsdam as ' trainer, and I had some trouble to| reassure her. I was asked to tea with the royal family. A special room | ‘was reserved for me at the palace,’ but what rather amused me was that most of the time I had to go about in evening dress. “As for Prince Oscar, I can only tell you that he is a pretty sturdy fellow and the kaiserin need have no anxiety about him. He weighs about ' 165 pounds, and he is so quick on his feet that sometimes he beats me. The kaiserin was really anxious. I think as to whether boxing was not injuri- ous to the heart.” Jack Slim has a busy time trying to carry out Prince Oscar’s impetu- ous demands for his presence. “One day after Christmas,” said Jack, “I got a telegram telling me to be at Wildpark, Potsdam, at four o'clock. There was no train that would get me there in time, so I just took a mo- tor, and, my, but that josser hummed when T gave him the address. All the way the German bobbies were putting down the number of the car as we tore past them. It made me laugh. I told Prince Oscar all about it, and he laughed quite as much as I did., e speaks English better than any | of his brothers; in fact, he is more like an Englishman than a German,i any way.” Good Year for Basketball. | Basketball promises to enjoy 8 boom this winter that it has no known | heretofore. Leagues are being formed > on every hand and the interest in the ' game has grown to large proportions. | Lovers of the sport look to see it be { come the most popular of indoor pas | times during the cold weather.

Harvard and Yale are already clam- oring for revision of the football rules. Princeton seems to be satisfied. Baseball was played by the Hittites 4,000 years ago, and today Frank BaKer is the best hittite in our midst. ._ China may become a republic, but she can never become an American republic without a Honus Wagner or Ty Cobb. Football netted Yale about $80,000 this year. We should like to know about ‘how much it costs to run a football team. Every team in the National league, except St. Louis, has a man ahead of the first Cub player in the list of bat- ting averages. China has organized an eight club baseball league, but it will be a long time before it is able to get a major league franchise. “Women are subject to hysteria” says a Russian doctor. Evidently he has never seen a crowd uf male be- ings at a football game. Since so many “appointed man- agers” of the Cincinnati club have proven “jokes,” when the real leader Is chosen he may be overlooked. Frank Schulte won’t worry over the loss of a single home run. He could run it down in quick order with that smoke wagon if he wished to do so. Officials of the minor leagues have voted to reduce the salaries of base- ball players. Is there no patriotism left in the officials of the minor leagues? ‘What, indeed, is in a name? The dispatch to the sporting department that “One Round” Hogan knocked out “Knockout” Brown in the seventh round! Picking all-star football teams is delectable pastiming, but in the ab- sence of a real gridiron battle this is about the only thing left for the dyed- in-the-wool enthusiast. N A New York paper has discovered that the game of baseball is 4,000 years old; “having descended from the Hittites to the Giants.” Correct. There can be no doubt that the Giants have descended from the Hitt~ ites.” Baseball fans in every part of the TUnited States were shocked over the injury to Hugh Jennings, but imagine the feelings of the Detroit Tiger fans!

Announcement was made recently of the appointment of Joseph D.

According to the news from the Indian “lodge” the aging West siders are to be turned over as payment for the services of Charley Smith, the lean right-hander who joined the former greats late in August. Smith, who is now rusticating at Cleveland, is regarded by Chance as one of his most promising hurlers for the coming pennant dash. He is no juvenile, by any means, having el- bowed his way from the minors to the American league, thence back to the small fry, and again into the exclusive set. On form displayed while with the Cubs this year Charley looks fit and able to lend a substantial hand for at least two more years.

At about the same time Bill Collins, one of the outfielders se- cured from Boston in the eight-man | trade, was turned over to Newark. Sub- | sequently the cubs got titles to the services of First Baseman Joe Agler and Sou’paw Walter Nagle. The pass- Ing of Kitty and Deerfoot Tom is said to be a part of the transactions where- by the young bloods of McGinity's come to the machine commanded by Chance.

ROSE HANGS OUT A SHINGLE Giant Shot Putter Takes Up Perma- nent Residence in San Francisco— Keeps Up Training. Ralph Rose, the giant shot putter, has taken up a permanent residence in San Francisco as a lawyer. There| was not much opportunity for the dis-i play of his ability in his native town, Healdsburg, so he thought he would try Frisco. Whether he is swamped\ with briefs is not known, but he is not | negiecting an occasional heave of the | shot and frequently he can be seen| out at the Golden Gate stadium ar- rayed in his athletic toggery and work: | ing as if his life depended on every try. Rose has his eye on the Olympic team next year and Intends to be inm the best possible shape. He is de- voting most of his attention to putting with his left hand, for the two hand competition is on the Stockholm pro- gramme along with that of the best hand. \ It is said that Rose can make a to- tal of 90 feet for the two hand com- petition, so that he is a pretty sure point winner in two events for Amer- ica.

The clerk of a supply store in southern Colorado did not know In- dian nature very well when he invited a Ute chief to a boxing bout. After explaining the use of the gloves, which the chief seemed to readily under- stand, they went into a vacant room in the rear of the store to spar. The gloves were adjusted, and the clerk invited the chief to hit him. This, of course, he failed to do. as Indians nev- i er strike with their hands in conflict. | All at once the clerk struck out, and. catching the chief under the ear, land- ed him-on the floor. This was enough. The Indian sprang to his feet, pulled the clerk had to run for his life. For- tunately he managed to keep out of | reach until some friends caught the | infuriated Indian and held him until | he cooled off. Then the clerk explain- ed the joke, but with very poor suc- cess. The chief consented to forego vengeance for the insult, but he was never friends with the clerk again.— St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Ornamented With Scars. | The natives of some of the islands of the Pacific are always glad to see | the doctor on his periodical visits. At | Kaiser Wilhelm's harbor the German | government has stationed Dr. Heise- | gang as medical officer. He is a busy | man. Natives by the dozen come to him, not to be treated for illness. but to get the benefit of his professional opinion on how to scar themselves ar- tistically. The natives are very fond of scars, and nearly all of them are covered with specimens which have resulted from self inflicted wounds which were kept open by frequent scratching or by the introduction of foreign substances like sand, bamboo., shells and so forth. The excrescence which results from the average vacci- nation is scratched off at the proper time, and the resulting large scar is‘ very dear to the native. A young islander whose face and body are a | mass of cuts, bruises and scars is con- sidered the catch of the season by the | dusky belles. They Couldn’t Help It. During the American invasion of | Porto Rico, in the course of the war with Spain, General Tasker H. Bliss with his troops, was stationed near a village held by an overwhelwing force of Spaniards. Orders were In'keeni his “eye peeled” and. if he heard any- | thing suspicious, to fall back about elght miles. Instead of this his men turned in one day and captured the village, chasing the Spaniards out, The next day the commander of the an forces came along to find ss sitting in front of the home of the chief man of the village. The com- mander asked him why he bad attack- ed the Spanish force. when he knew that he was outnumbered. *Couldn’t help it,” said General Bliss. “You see, my men have been hungry for some days, and the wind blew toward them from the village. and some squaw was frying onions over there. - And so”— Argonaut. —_— Fine manners need the support of across from postoffice, phone 129.
