Tips on Playing Basket Ball; Correct Rule BY ED THORP. LEEP is of prime importance S to any athlete. Some pcople do seem to be able to get along with' less sleep than others, but so far as we are able to judge efficiency is lost. Others also seem unaffected by having their sleep cut short a few hours for several nights. There is a great deal of difference, however, between what seems to be 50 and what rcally is. Any loss of sleep means a lower vitality and a lessenéd efficiency. To get the greatest valuec from sleep it should be regular and un- disturbed. One should develop the idea of going to bed at a certain hour andsgeuing up at a fixed time if he wishes to play good basket ball all the time. In most cascs, if #his rule is followed, the player will be able to fall asleep immediately upon going to bed and to sleep through until mornind.

Six bouts were ofe fered, two ecnding kncckouts and two others of a red-hot variety filled with action from start to finlsh, The program was as entertaining as any ever conducted under the auspices of the Fort Myer Athletic Assoclation, The feature of the card, a sched- uled six-rounder between Private Willle Ptomey cf the 16th Field Ar- tiller¥, headquarters detachment, and Machinist's Mate Patsy Mozier of the Anacostia naval alr statlon, 145 pounders, was declared a draw, aftor the men had fought an extra round Mozier was a great favorite, due to e ience, but the Fort My boy, who practically novice, proved the greatest surprise of the evening and the sailor was fortunate to get a draw.

FRANCISCO, March 7.—James ]. Jeffries, former heavyweight champion and oil promoter, who filed a bankruptcy petition here last week in the United States district court, according to friends, was a victim of the “get-rich-quick boy: who, it is said, have enticed a goodly part of the reported half-million-dollar fortune which the foriner title holder earned in the ring. In his petition the big fellow admits ow- ing $292,183, while his total assets amount to only $130,950, consising of real estate valued at $125,500 and stocks said to be worth $3,000. It is the belief of sporting men here that the big fellow, who went in for evangelistic work about a vear ago, will resume this practice with more enthusiasm than ever before, now that he is “broke.” Friends of the champion are won- dering if this hero of the roped arena believed himself when a year ago, in his first evangelistic sermon, he said: Let your conscience be your guide. noh busine if 1 want to swea smoke and drink so long as my heart is right.” Wanted 1o Get Rich Quick. “Oby with the millionaire ‘bug. that is the way one of Jeff's henchmen explained it. “Result of coquetting weth the fickle Lady Luck, instead of a bunch of roses, slipped the big fellow a clean solar plexus punch.” Big Jess Willard struck oil.” ex- plained another follower. “Jeff tried to strike it, but landed a right hook on a flock of phony stock while the go-ge em boys counted ten.” And while Jeff's friends and follow- ers are trying to figure it all out the big question is, “Can he come back”” What's he going to do?
