The Evening Chit-Chat By RUTH CAMERON

The Men in the Limelight Just After Signing Articles

dl

People talk about suffering- from fear, but It seems to me that a great many people rather enjoy being afraid. How else can you explain the way In which many women coddle and foster and feed their fears? Of course, It has always been more or less expected of women that they should be afraid of thing's. , ' Some men enjoy cowardice in a woman as much as women enjoy courage in a man. Women know this tendency and play upon It. I don't believe one woman In ten is really and truly very much afraid of a mouse, and yet I don't think more than one woman In ten dares to appear not "to be. But it isn't against the young girl who knows that a certain degree of timorousness Is part of her appeal to the other sex, and who therefore cultivates It, that I am Inveighing. I believe too thoroughly that "all's fair in lore and war." It's the grown up women who have long ceased to plot against the other eex, and who still go on coddling their terrors, that I object to. I know s'everal women who are afraid of lightning. Not one of them makes any effort to overcome this terror, but every time a thunderstorm breaks they all give themselves up whole heartedly to the luxury of being ' afraid. ... ; One of them insists- that all her family shall gather around her and sit in chairs each leg of which has been placed In a tumbler. Another flees to a dark closet and crouches in the corner until the storm Is over. All of them talk during the storm of nothing else than the fea.r they have of lightning, things they have read about people who were, killed by lightning, and terrible storms they have known. A woman who lives near me has always been afraid of hydrophobia. She has cocuiled and petted this fear until it has become one of the most absorbing interests of her existence. No mention of a death by hydrophobia or of a mad dog scare In the newspaper ever escapes her. She has read all about thedisease in medical books. She never meets a doctor without getting him to talk on the subject. One of the greatest events of her life was meeting a man who had had hydrophobia and getting him to detail his experiences. And last, but not least, she keeps a scrap book in which she has pasted all the cures for hydrophobia thai, have been published for the last thirty years. She had 137 the last time I saw her. Is it any wonder that she has managed to convince herself that she is going to 'die of hydrophobia, and that the mere sight of a dog fills her with terror? - -" If the women who are afraid of lightning made a point of talking of other j. subjects, reading some especially interesting book or busying themselves "with some exceptionally absorbing task during storms, the chances are that they might forget to be afraid. If the woman who so much dreads hydrophobia puts the subject out of her mind, kept a pet dog, and made herself realize what harmless creatures dogs are under proper conditions, she would probably have nothing left but a vague fear of that undoubtedly dread disease. But the trouble is that they're all rather like the chronic dyspeptic who was found looking unusually gloomy. "What's the matter?" Inquired his friends. " "Oh, dear," groaned the dyspeptic, "I've eaten something that agreed with me."

LOWELL TURNS

The second basket-ball team of the. Baptist Athletic association of Hammond found a bunch of tartars in the Lowell team last Saturday night. The local players were defeated by a score of 22 to 14. They expected to play a team of their own class, but they found themselves outclassed all around, and are ready to admit It. Despite this they made a good showing. It is the opinion of the local players that with very little more practice the Lowell players may easily pit themselves against the best in the county.

Two world's records smashed, two ambitious riders suffering from dislocated shoulders and the elimination of'the Shirley-Germain team from the struggle for first money were just a few of the exciting events of the first day o ths annual six-day bicycle race at Madison Square Garden. Twleve thousand fanatics packed th big arena and spent hours yelling their heads off when some rider would shoot from the bunch and start a wild spurt. "With Logan and "Wiley out of the contest by falls at "death curve" that broke their shoulders, only fifteen teams are left In the race. Shirley and Germain were thrown into the discard when the latter lost one lap after a three-mile dizzy sprint started by Root. Shirley went to pieces and lost fifteen laps more between 7 and 10 o'clock. Shirley, who came from England heralded as a wonder, rode as If he had all he wanted of a six-day grind and his dropping out at any moment would not be a surprise. The cake has to be handed to Floyd McFarland. The bald headed veteran who was doing six-day stunts when some of his competitors were at school. has his rivals, particularly the new comers, on edge. The angular "old man" has the speed and grit and they are afraid he may start one of those hair-raising stunts which may mean a loss of one lap. WAGNER "SORE" ON TY COBB Failed to Find Any Game on Hunting Trip. Pittsburg', Pa., Dec. 7. Hans Wag ner and Ty Cobb have disagreed over the subject of game. The champion of the National league has returned to Pittsburg after a long trip to Georgia in search of game which the champion of the American league had promised to show him. 'Paid Wagner today: "I drilled all the way from Carnegie to Macon, Qa., to shoot game that I had been told 'ras standing about there begging to be shot, but Cobb nor no one else could show me much, so I Jumped the next train and came back home. I never was much for shooting ground squirrels or some other man's chickens, and that's all that showed promise there. If Cobb will come up here I'll show him some real shooting." WARNS ELEVEN AGAINST TOUR Persistent rumors that the football team of the Englewood high school is planning to make a western trip and play games with western teams has led President A. R. Urion of. the board of education to decide upon a i Investigation. The boys, he said will be warned that they must not play as representatives of the, Englewood high school. It Is said that the players expect to make the trip during the holidays and that they will play at Seattle and Butte. O'LEARY SIGNS WITH DETROIT Detroit, Dec. T.

IE BASKET BALL GAI

Wall and Haliburton did the star work for 'Hammond, while Atwood on the Lowell team, a former Hammond high school player, starred for Lowell. Harry Morganau of Hammond refereed the game to the satisfaction of both sides. The lineup on both sides was as follows: Hammond Wall, If; Hudson, rf; Blocker, c; 'Haliburton, rg; Rosenberg, Ig. Lowell Shurte, If; Hathaway, rf; Lambert, c; Nichols, rg; Atwood, lg. The second Baptist team expects to give the Lowell team a return game at Hammond in the near future. ABEY GETS AB1G - JOJJFROM LAD Loser, Scared in -the Early Rounds, . Leads in the Last Three. Memphis, Tenn., Dec. 7. Abe Attell was badly scared by Charlie "White, the 18-year-old featherweight phenom of Chicago last night in their eight round go here. The" champion of all the 122pounders had an easy time In the first Ave rounds, chasing "White around the ring, but In the last three the little fellow from the "Windy City loosened up and had the advantage. At the end Referee Dave Barry gave the verdict to the champion. Had not "White been the victim of a bad case of stage fright, he might have made a great name for himself, and as it was he came out of the ring with plenty of glory. He fairly outboxed Abe in the long range work, landing the more effective punches. His wcrk was a revelation to local fans, who expected to see him hopelessly outclassed by the champion. "White plainly was badly scared ta the early rounds. He allowed Attell to chase him and seemed contented to g-uard himself. In the sixth round, seeing that he probably would be beaten, he tore loose. Hla work then was pretty in the extreme. Attell, who had been smiling at the press box, finally found that he had a real fighter In front of him. "White got several hard rights and lefts to the champion's mouth and Jaw, and, although they did not daze Able, they brought blood from his mouth and made the decision he earned a hair line one, to say the least. Had "White, started his rally a little sooner he would have been entitled to a draw at least. This was the opinion of the majority of those at the ringside. At the conclusion of the fight Attell admitted that he could not knock his foe out. "Whenever I got In close I found "White hanging around my neck," said Abie. "He was entirely too close for me to slip over a telling punch." STA6G HOT PLiflG ' GftITH MICH. Maroon Director Returns and Says He Knows Nothing of "Big 5" Scheme. Coach A. Alonzo Stagg of the University of Chicago will not act as sponsor for the "Big Five" union oi Chicago, Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Illinois. "Upon his return from Hot Springs, Ark., yesterday he declared himself a toal stranger to such a plan. The apathy of Coach Stagg over the rooters' scheme was the final blow to the elaborate arrangements of the fans. With Stagg, the faculty and the alumni solid against any change in the present conference relations, the minority will now have to think up some other plan if they Insist upon the return of the University of Michigan to it old position in the west. Coach Stagg even refused to wax enthusiastic over the prospects for a Chicago-Michigan game, which he once desired. He will spend tills week doping out combinations for games without including the Ann Arbor college in his diagrams. Cornell and probably another eastern Institution will figure in the negotiations. The coach Informed the rooters that the arrangements for the Cornell game are not yet completed. Cornell has not yet asked for the battle, a formality that Coach Stagg considers essential. It is thought, however, that both schools want the battle and the drawing up of the contract is only a matter of time. Minnesota, Wisconsin and Cornell will be the big games on Stagg's list from present prospects. Atoms. Scientists say that an atom cannot be divided, but, all the same, we have seen some of a political type cut in two. . '
