PLEASANT TIME IN PROSPECT

Bachelor Brother Now Know* Something of the Duties That Fell to the -Young Mother. "I was visiting my married sister in Toledo last week," relates “Buck" Hawes. “She’s got a three-year-old kid, and, while I am fairly fond of children, I am a bachelor and somewhat sot in my ways. I was rather dismayed, therefore, when, my sister proposed leaving me in the house with the child one afternoon. And here’s what she said: '“Don’t put yourself to a bit of trouble —he can take care of himself. See that he doesn't climb up to the pantry shelves and keep an eye on him so that he won’t get into any mischief. He won't annoy you. Don’t, let him go down cellar and watch that he doesn’t get hold of the books in the library, and he'll amuse himself all right. If he cries, give him a cooky, and if that doesn’t stop him, ride him on your back. But don’t let him bother you a bit I’ll be home in an hour!’” —Cleveland Plain Dealer.

RINGWORM ON CHILD’S FACE

Stratford, lowa.—“Three years ago this winter my seven-year-old son had ringworm on the face. First it was in small red spots which had a rough crust on the top. When they started they looked like little red dots and then they got bigger, about the size of a bird’s egg. They had a white rough ring aitound them, and grew continually worse and soon spread over his face and legs. The child suffered terrible itching and burning, so that he could not sleep nights. He scratched them and they looked fearful. He was cross when he had them. We used several bottles of liniment, nothing helped. “I saw where a child had a rash on the face and was cured by Cuticura Soap and Ointment and I decided to use them. I used Cuticura Soap and Ointment about one month, and they cured my child completely.” (Signed) Mrs. Barbara Prim, Jan. 30, 1912. Cuticura Soap and Ointment sold throughout the world.

BANTAM-WEIGHT CHAMPION NEARING FINISH

After eight years* ring service, little Johnny Coulon, the bantam-weight champion, has reached the staggering stage of his career and It looks to be only a matter of weeks until he will be decorated with an “ex.” Four new dolls are in the running for the title: “Kid” Williams, the hard-hitting Baltimore boy; Eddie Morgan, the British boxer; Charley Ledoux, the Parisian with the funny face, and Eddie Campi, the clever San Francisco lad. .Williams* punch gives him the “ace.”

DAY OF LEFT-HANDER WANING

Slim Sallee, Nap Rucker and Rube Marquard, Southpaws, Are Still In Prime Form, However. Alas, the day of the southpaw pitcher, Is waning In major leagues, according to a recent statement of Scout Irwin. Glancing over the pitchers of the National league, one wouldn’t get that

straight wins were a big help to McGraw. Sallee was the leading twirler of the Cards. When he was in any kind of physical shape he was about the hardest man 4 in the organization to defeat. No one questions the effectiveness of Nap Rucker. He frequently has been referred to as half the Brooklyn team—the other half being Jake Daubeta. How Scott Irwin could get the idea in his head that southpaws are dying off, with such a trio to point to, is indeed difficult to see. We believe that if Irwin’s boss were given his pick of the Cardinal and the Dodger squads the first he would chose would be Messrs. Sallee and Rucker. Then if he were allowed to select from the Giants, Rube Marquad wouldn’t be the last in his mind’s eye.

Gossip Among Sports

Hughey Jennings had only three players who batted .300 or better last season. Mr. Ritchie wants reasonable time in which to recover from those fouls before assimilating more such wallops. The Providence club has sold Catch* er Wade Reynolds to Sioux City and Infielder Jimmy Gillespie to Chatta nooga. Robert Hedges, president of the St Louis Browns, says he is satisfied with George Stovall as manager of his team. It is reported that John J. McGraw, the Giants* leader, has been given a life contract with the New York Na tionals. Pitcher Walter Leverans, the youngster Manager Stovall drafted from the Coast league, is being touted as a great find. Instead of firing all his umpires, Tip O’Neill may sign a few more to keep his Western league magnates within their limitations. Mathewson’s automobile and shooting trips have interfered seriously with his usual winter studies into the science of checkers. Cincinnati offered Larry McLean to Indianapolis this fall and Mike Kelly turned him down, thus eliminating another source of winter dope. Danny Moeller, the Senators’ young outfielder, says Boston won’t repeat in 1913. He looks for the Washington team to put up a better fight. Making wrestlers go to a decision is about as hard on the referee and faithful scribes who remain to the finish as on the grapplers themselves. Manager George Stallings, the new leader of the Boston Braves, says he will play Bues at third base next season. This puts Arthur Devlin on the minor list

BETTING FADES SPORT

American Sprinter Makes Study . of Game Abroad. Contestants Wish to Fool Handicapper and Races Are Marred by Trickery Caused by Wagers, Say* _ Charles E. Holway. .. ? -... .. Charles E. Holway, the American professional sprinter, who has donned spiked shoes 'and competed in various countries, declares that if there was not so mueh betting England there would be better athletes in that country. English professionals, he says, waste time and energy trying to fool the handicapper, and, this spoils them In the long run. Holway has met and defeated some of the best professionals in the world and has much information concerning athletic conditions the world over. Some day, he says, Australia will produce an athletic team , that will surprise the sharps. The'climate there, he adds, is just suited for athletics, and only the small population prevents it from keeping abreast with the countries which enter teams in the Olympics. In his travels Holway had an excellent chance to observe conditions and the methods of various athletes in training. In speaking of his wanderings and observations Holway says: "If there was not so betting there would be more good athletes in Great Britain today. A professional runner wastes half of his career' trying to fool the handicapper and waiting for the mark he considers good enough to win comfortably. There are always five dr six like that in every handicap, where a man will be on limit, say sixteen yards, when he should be allowed about ten. The handicapper says‘Well, here is a lad that has never won a heat,’ so hl& limit is fixed at 16 yards in 130. Some one must be on that mark. The fellow who has fooled the handicapper gets on this big mark and the scratch man has no chance. A man may have a couple of runners and if there is not much betting they are saved for another year and sometimes two years, and they get so used to not trying that they never get to be good runners. Here is the secret of the American athlete’s success. He is always trying. In England the athletes do not try, and I include both amateur and professional—one is as bad as the other. Simply because one amateur athletic meeting has given a >IOO watch and chain runners wait for this prize. * “I like England land was used well there by hearty everyone. They are very hospitable. The reputation all American athletes have when in England is shown thus: The English will say, ‘We can back So-and-So; these Americans are always triers,' and I have always felt proud to hear that said. "Mik “Now, in Australia and New zdjr land, professional athletes and professional athletics are thought more of than the amateur, because the best times are set up by the professionals, and the people seem to want to see the best, no matter whether professional or amateur. “The climate is superb for athletics, and when one considers that there are more people in Greater New York than in Australia, New Zealand and Tasmania ■ combined, I think it is a wonderful country to turn out so many good athletes. “Everyone loves sport in general and there are few that do not indulge in some pastime. I think the Australians are the biggest hearted people In the world. They certainly like Americans, and I find in many thing* they copy American methods. "In South Africa the climate is very hot. I could not produce my best results consistently, although at times I ran faster in Johannesburg than I ever ran in my life.”

IN PRAISE OF SOCCER GAME

No Place for Dissipating' Athlete and Develops Real Athletes—Purely Scientific Game. « Footfall the schoolboy or college student, but I think many will agree with me when I sav it practically ends there, and I think it is wrong When the college student sacrifices his life for such a dangerous game and disappoints his parents, who invested their saving! in him in order that he might earnr hls bread and be of service to his country. The high schools of Chicago are waking up to this fact, and more interest has been taken in soccer than has ever been before, writes Robert Smith in the Chicago Tribune. . As a winter game it has no equal. Here is where the dissipating athlete meets his Waterloo. Soccer cannot use the smoke fiend or the beer drinker, and If Chicago had more soccer players it would have more real athletes. While it is purely a scientific game and requires a fine degree of accuracy and of brain work, the player will always come out on top who observes the laws of physical culture.
