the SPORTING WORLD

Coming Shot Omnaglon. Wesley W. Coe of Boston is gen erally hailed as the coming champion shot putter. He recently beat the record of Ralph W. Rose, but the mark was not allowed to stand by Secre-

WKHLEY W. COK. tary Sullivan of the A. A. U. However, Coe will soon make another attempt to lower the colors of Rose, who has left the University of Michigan and is now in Chicago. Britt Denies Charges. 1 Emphatic denial is made by Jimmy Britt and his brother, Willie, to the charge made by Billy Nolan, manager of Battling Nelson, that Willie Britt refused to post forfeits for the BrittNelson fighV unless Nelson would agree to “lay down." So Intense is the feeling on the part of the coast pugilist that another match with the Chicagoan now seems Inevitable. When the charge reached the ears of Jimmy Britt the “native son” turned white with rage. Then, shutting his jaws firmly, he “went looking” for Nolan, but did not find him. When he had a chance to cool down he said: “Having gone this far, I think Nolan should come forward with some proofs. Well, I’ll tell you what I will do. If he can furnish one iota of evidence showing that any such tiling as this took place I will give $1,500 to any charity which the newspapers will name. “I will fight Nelson any time. I can lick him any time. I gave him his chance to fight me, and he balked at an agreement which he had already sigped. Coffroth has my contract for a match with Nelson. He also has my contract for a match with White. Which one he puts on first is immaterial to me.”

Heer Establishes a Record.

Breaking 307 targets straight, W. H. Heer of Concordia, Kan., recently established a new world’s record for trap shooting in open tournament at the last day of the lowa State association tournament. He defeated both Fred Gilbert, who holds a record of 392 straight in a practice shoot, and Crosby, 345 In one day’s match. During the three days’ shooting 44,000 targets were thrown, the average number at the traps being seventy-five. The amateur state championship went to A. I’. McDowell of Adair, 98 out of 100; diamond badge, Nell Layman; Smith cup, to Aron; for expert high average, Gilbert, Crosby, Heer, Stannard, Borden shot off, Stannard winning fifty straight: best average for tournament, Heer, 99 per cent, 600 targets. Mlaa Hlgginn Wins Golf Title. Miss Mabel B. Higgins of Chicago has won the chainpionship of the Southern California Golf association, played at the Pasadena Country club. Miss Higgins took part in the women’s championship of Great Britain at Troon last year, the first American to start in a women’s championship of that Importance abroad. In the women's championship of the United States at Marion, I’a., lust fall she was put out by Miss F. C. Griscom by a score of 2 up and 1 to play. Illinois Racing In Dinner. And now the Illinois legislature Is placing racing in hot water—a bill has passed the senate prohibiting pool selling and making It a malfeasance in office if the sheriff falls to punish of fenders. Should this bill pass the house of representatives there would be much trouble in store for the race track pro inoters. Lt would possibly squelch the game altogether in the Windy City. Nick Kahl a. Miner. Nick Kahl, the utility infielder that Cleveland secured from Colorado Springs and who played with Nichols’ western league team, worked in a coal mine for thirteen years iiefore graduating into the ranks of professional base ball players, starting out as a breaker boy. Nick is nearly as wide as he is long, but nearly every one of his 192 pounds is bone and muscle. Graham an M. D. Outfielder Archie Graham of the New York Giants Is a full fledged medical doctor. He graduated from Johns Hopkins university. Eddie Ashen bach says “he is the fastest man he ever saw in a baseball uniform*’ and that “be can easily beat Harry Bay." Brwah m Lent Games. “I am not what Is known as a bard loser in baseball," says John T. Brush, “unless a game is lost through stupidity. I have not a particle of sympathy for a player who makes a stupid play, but never mourn when a game Is lost after having been well played."

ADAM AND EVE

By Otho B. Senga

Adam—Adam Peyton Randolph lay stretched at full length under a dwarf pine tree. He was big and blond and good to look at He sang "Oh, Maryland, My Maryland!” in a heavy bass which was not at all musical and then laughed at his own failure. “I reckon I wasn’t around when singing voices were being distributed,” he said aloud, “but this certainly is paradise—an Eveless paradise! And that’s what makes it paradise! How a woman would spoil all this! I hope the new owner of Sunny Slope doesn’t intend to live there.” He turned over lazily and lay on his chest supporting his chin in his hand and gazing off toward the blue Chesapeake, from which the breeze brought the bracing saltiness of the inland sea. His Eve was coming, but of this he was blissfully unaware. She sauntered up the avenue of pines, looking delightedly about her. “A perfect paradise!” she murmured. "I wonder if my land ends with my driveway, or does it extend to that one over there.” She pushed her way between the rosebushes and entered the debated territory, wandering aimlessly along, singing softly and caressing the rose she had plucked in passing. At an unexpected turn she almost stumbled over the long, sprawling legs of Adam Peyton Randolph. “Oh, pardon me!” she gasped in confusion. “I did not know”— And then, summoning the courage of possible possession, she demanded, “Doesn’t this strip of land belong to Sunny Slope?” “No, madam,” replied the recumbent one gravely. “It belongs to Peyton’s paradise.” She laughed gayly and looked about her. “So this really is paradise, is it? Andgyhere are Adam and Eve?” “There is no Eve, madam. Adam is the owner of the place—Adam Peyton Randolph.” “Oh, yes, I know. He is the horrid, cantankegpus old thing who was so determined I should not buy Sunny Slope. My agent told me how this old

“OH, PABDON ME!” SHE GASPED IN CONFUSION.

miser kept bidding and bidding until I had to pay twice what the place is worth." The “old miser" sat up with sudden Interest. “Oh, then you are Miss Endicott? 1 am so glad! I feared It was a northerner who had bought the dear old place.” “What possible difference could that make?'’ curiously. “Oh, a great deal," vaguely. “I do not want them here,” "May I ask," with sudden hauteur, “why it should Interest you?" “Because—well," rising and holding out a big hand cordially, “because, Miss Endicott, I am the ‘horrid, cantankerous old thing,’ Adam Peyton llandolph, at your service, and I confess to a decided preference for southern women. I hope we shall be friends." She put her slender hand in his demurely. “I am very sorry,” with pretense of contrition, “but, you see, I couldn't help being born in Massachusetts.” “A thousand pardons, Miss Endicott, I beg. Your name should have warned me, but you look so like a southern woman!" “I consider that a compliment,” smiling. “You may well. The southern women are the most beautiful under the sun, and I repeat that you look a true southerner." The gravity of his manner saved the remark from the slightest flavor of Impertinence, and the girl smiled brightly. “And am I forgiven for being a northerner and for buying Sunny Slope?" He smiled In friendly fashion, but his tone was very serious as he replied: “I am sorry I made It bard for you; but, you see, I really wanted the place. It once belonged to my father. I was born there. Under pressure of circumstances he sold that, as my mother preferred to keep Peyton’s'paradise, where she was born. My mother was a Peyton,” he added proudly. The girl seemed troubled, and It was several seconds before she spoke. “I can’t help being glad that I succeeded In buying the place, but I am

sorry you failed. I realize that it must be very dear to you.” “You had more money than I or you couldn’t have bought it,” he said, trying to speak lightly. “However, I thank you for your considerate thought Let us be friends anyway, and i>erhaps you will let me come often to my birthplace.” “You shall play it is yours,” cordially, “as the children do—they are so happy ‘making believe,’ you know. And will you let me come Into your paradise once in awhile? Your roses are finer than mine.” , “There is a path leading from your garden Into minp. Come, let me show It to you. There, this little gate at my end of the path shall be securely fasteped back, so,” fastening it as he spoke. “And now, whenever you choose,” with a sudden, strange tenderness ig bis tone, “you shall enter into paradise.” . Three months later Adam stood at the gate of paradise bitterly despondent and unavailingly regretful. There had been a sudden growth of friendship during tue long, bright summer and a leap into love. Then had come the tempter in the guise of a rich and suavely spoken senator from the north, and Adam’s heart had been sore beset with jealous rage. Mot with southern anger, he had accused the girl of trifling with him, of making him the sport of her summer pastime when she had no heart to give him. She had stood, straight and tall and white, looking in her clinging white gown like his boyhood’s idea of a ghost. Then she spoke, and her voice was cold and touched Adam’s heated imagination like sharpened icicles. “I should certainly never give any man something for which he had not asked.” And, turning, she had disappeared down the path leading away from paradise. Man-like, it was hours before Adam realized the true meaning of her words. Then he had hastened to Bunny Slope. “Miss Eve done gone,” the old mammy had said. “Iler ’n’ Massa Pratt done gone together. No, Miss Eve nebber said as when she’d come back.” He had wandered through the beautiful grounds of paradise, visiting the “Rosary,” where he had fostered and trained the most glorious beauties that Eve might have her choice each day of the glad, sweet summer, realizing with a sharp pang that the whole place seemed to share in the loneliness that possessed his heart. Without Eve paradise itself were desolation. Now In the soft twilight he stood at the garden gate looking toward the dim old mansion half bidden in the pines at Sunny Slope. He caught a glimpse of a light in her window. Mammy was likely putting the room to rights. _ “Oh, Eve!” he cried, stretching out his arms toward the faintly gleaming light. “Eve, darling, how could I be so blind and so unjust when I love you so—l love you so?” A quick, light step sounded on the garden path, and a slender, white clad figure rushed wildly toward him. “Adam, oh, Adam!” she panted. “I tried to go away, but I couldn’t Am I too late, Adam? Is the gate closed to paradise?” And he held her in bls strong arms, w’hispering tenderly: “It could never be too late, Eve. We will go together into paradise.”

Disraeli Liked Gladstone.

It is not generally known that on at least four occasions during the decade of the fifties Disraeli offered to sacrifice his personal position to Graham, Palmerston and Gladstone successively for the Interest of his country and bls party. In 1868 and 1869 Disraeli defended Gladstone against the carpers among his supporters, indignantly rebuking the “frothy spouters of sedition," as well as those who “preferred remembrance of accidental errors to gratitude for splendid gifts and signal services.” Gladstone was a worthy foe. Disraeli was as willing to give him praise as he was unwilling to strike him to please the popular passion of the moment, and bis magnanimity was frankly acknowledged by Mr. Gladstone. When Disraeli stood for bls last portrait—although suffering, he refused to sit to Sir John Millais—Sir John noticed bls gaze riveted on an engraving of the artist’s fine portrait of the great leader of the Liberals. “Would you care to have It?” inquired Sir John. “I was rather shy of offering it to you.” “I would be delighted to have it,” Disraeli replied. “Don’t imagine that I have ever disliked Mr. Gladstone; on the contrary, my only difficulty with him has been that I could never understand him.”

In and Out.

A prominent physician tn Baltimore recently perpetrated a witticism at his own expense. It was late at night. The doctor had lost bls night key; the door was locked, and the more he ranff the night bell the more the suspicion grew In bls mind that some one had chloroformed the entire household. Finally, bow’ever, his sister was aroused by a long ring of the bell. Naturally she thought that there was some one at the door who wished to see the doctor ahd that, as the doctor was out, she would herself have to answer the summons, else the caller would keep her awake for a long time. So, hastily throwing a loose gown over her nightdress, she hurried to the door. Opening the door the least bit, in order not to present her dishabille to an intruding eye, she shouted through the crack In r tone of sleepy impatience “The doctor’s out,” and was about to close the door when the physician thrust one foot through, at the same time exclaiming: “Yes, I know the doctors out, but bo wants to get in!”—Harper's Weekly.
