There's the case of Max Canaris, for instance. Max was one of the five male offsprings of a respected Lu- theran minister. His home environ- ment was of the best. Yet in spite of the loving care and religious teach- ings of his parents, he became a pir- ate. Be it sald to his credit that he changed his name before embarking on the career of a bucaneer, and thus the name of Canaris has never been trailed in the dust. This bold, bad man of the Canaris clan carries on his piratical operations from the Atlantic seaboard to the Mississippi, although Pittsburg has long been his main rendezvous. In other words, Max Canaris, is the Ca- rey known to more or less fame an outfielder for the Pittsburg Pir- ates. Max was born in Terre Hautc, Ind., just a quarter of a century ago today, January 11, 1890. In the fam- ily councils it was proposed that M: should follow in his father's foot- prints and preach the gospel. With that end in view he was sent to (‘on- cordia college. As 'a student of theol- ogy he was a bully athlete. shortstop of the college nine, captain of the basketball club, and skipper of the track team. 'This didn't leave much time for the study of theology. His vacations were spent in Terre Haute shortstopping for a nine which bore the ir-religious name of Champagne Velvets. It was at this period that Max sent the honored family name to the discard and adopf- ed the monaker of Carey, which was usually prefixed by the nickname of “Scoops.” In 1909, during the college vacation, (‘arey had his first profes- sional experience as shortstop forthe South Bend Central league club. Tho following year he completed his theo- logical education and joined Soutih Bend again as outfielder. The next vear he became & “Pirate,”” and the dream of his parents was forever shattered. Quite & number of men of Bohem- ian blood have won fame as boxers. Bob Moha, the Milwaukee human balloon, is among the number, his real name being Mucha. Jack Root, a native of Bohemia, was long prom- inent in the middleweight and light- heavyweight ranks, and whipped such good fellows as Alec Greggains, Frank Cralg, Australian Jim Ryan, Dan Creedon, Tommy West, Kid Carter, George Gardner, Marvin Hart, Jim Flynn, Kid McCoy and Dick O'Brien. besides fighting a draw with Tommy Ryan.

After fighting Ad Wolgast a ten-round draw, he was matched with Ad for the title at Los Angeles in 1911, but was knocked out in the ninth chapter. Memsic's last important bout was at Medford, Orve., in 1912, when Bud Anderson knocked him out. CAPT.

Amusements which, to the of the will reap a harvest for thase backing the huge enterprises and at the same time help materially to relieve the good- natured tourists of a large portion of their surplus cash. Racing and boxing are the sports soon ta be launched in the metropolis of the ‘West Indies. Racing, while not entirely new here, never has had a fair trial in Ha- vana. In past years, men who might have known a good deal about gambling. but who were ignorant of | conditions in the Cuban capital, ven- tured into the racing game on a mere shoestring, expecting to come through the season with a wad of coin that would place them on easy street. They found, however, much to their disappointment, that the sportinc nub- lic, especially the Cubans, who must he catered to in order to.insure suc- cess in any field, wanted to be shown according expectations promoters the real article before they would patronize the race track. As a re- sult, ' shrewd promoters soon found a large balance on the debit side of their ledger, and were forced to the wall. Change in Conditions. This year things have changed. The caliber of the promoters, the buijld- ing of a beautiful track, clubhouse, grandstand, stalls for the race horses and a large hotel close to Marianao Beach in the suburbs of Havana, has entirely restored the confidence of the public. Through the efforts of *“‘Curly” Brown, the well-known American pramoter, who is in charge of affairs at the track, some of the wealthjest and most influential citizens of Ha- vana, including President Menocal, have been enlisted in the cause, and with them interested, the Cuban patronage is assured. Senor Munos, editor of Le Munda, on being asked for an opinion an the racing situation yesterday afternoon, said: ““The Cuban public anything about this people have a whole lot of canfidence in Mr. Brown, and in the distin- guished citizens affliated with him in the Havana Jockey club. In addi- tion to that, they inherft the gamb. ling instinct, and any sport that gives the Cuban a chance to indulge in gambling, provided he receives a square deal for his money, is sure to receive the suppart of the natives. “The success of the experiment to be tried by Mr. Brown does not de- pend wholly on the patronage of the American tourists, as some would be- lieve—the ('ubans also must be con- sidered. In the last racing meet conducted here, about seven yvears ago, on a track that no how resem- bled a track, the local public became thoroughly disgusted with the con- ditions in general. Poor talent, poor riders and betting commissioners who robbed the public, discredited the | game.
