Schaefer stepped {back and Lending toward Sheridan’s ear yelled “JACK SHERIDAN, YOUR TIME HAS CAME.” Schaefer started running just in time. Sheridan ran after him, call- ing him all the names he could think of. He fined Schaefer and he sus- pended him and he promised like treatment to any ball player that would ever ask him why he was sore at Schaefer or any one who ever in any way mentioned the incident. On one occaston Schaefer caused a riot call to be sent in. This happened in St. Louis, where the team was stopping at the Planters Hotel Schaefer and Charlie O‘Leary, his pal and roommate, used to do a two- man minstrel show. Schaefer wanted O'Leary to put on the show this par- ticular evening, but O'Leary refused. Schaefer decided to do the thing alone. alone. Schaefer picked a long settee that stood in the center of the lobby. He suddenly called out, “Evenin’, Mista Bones."

NEW YORK, February 2.—There is a division opinion “regarding the merits of the United States Golf As- sociation’s action in setting the na- | tional open championship for July 116-12. It will be played at the Scioto Count Club, Columbus, Ohtfo. Many critics argue that the change from early June to mid-July permits participation in both the Dritish and American open events; | others contend that the question of weather has been neglected. Bobby Jones, Walter Hagen and | others of husky proportions may per- | spire, vet they can stand the sun's rays, it is contended, while men of the physique of the present cham- pion, Willle MacFarlane, are handi- apped.

Y1 we the question whether the American people have given too much time to training their | bodies and conserving their health, & | study of the draft statistics, which revealed one-half our young men as physically defective, should answer this negatively and conclusively The estimated receipts at American |foot ball games last Fall was about $10,000,000 to $20,000,000, he sald, while the American people spend $800,000.000 a yvear on cigarettes and $50,000,000 for chewing gum. The boys of today, sald Maj. Grif- fith, devour the sports pages of news- papers, and aspire to become Red Granges or Bob Simpsons, instead of Jesse Jameses or Diamond Dicks, as in his own boyhood days. o many of the stories in the pa- pers today are accounts of failure in life, failure to observe the law, that it is stimulating and refreshing to turn to the sport pages and read about the men who won and were rewarded by the plaudits of sports followers,” said Maj. Griffith. “I am not disposed to believe that many boys are spoiled by newspaper prafse. Neither am I unduly alarmed because now and then a college star drops out to play professional foot ball. 1 have known some very fine men who played professional foot ball a season or two, but they soon learned they could go farther in law, engi- neering or business than they could in professional foot ball, and 8o dropped out. “In one of our Western Conference universities it- has been discovered that practically all of the men from that institution who had gone into professional foot ball were poor or mediocre students in college. Possi- bly these men were not qualified to succeed in @ large way in other pro- fessions, and hence remained in the game. “Undoubtedly the play instinct is overdeveloped tn some children and underdeveloped {n some others.

NEW YORK, February 2.—Notwith- standing various issues, a peaceful an- nual meeting is forecast for the United States Lawn Tennis Assoclation here next Saturday. Criticism already has been voiced by officlals of the Western Tennis Asso- clation at Chicago because of an Eastern monopoly on the choice of dates of the outdoor season, but na- tional officers seem convinced that this will not cause any serious differ- ences of opinfon. ‘The player-writer seems destined to remain {intact.
