Sporting- Editor Times,

Dear Sir: Knowing- yourself and

paper to bo staunch advocators of

clean athletics, I think it my duty ns

a fan to acquaint you with a true ver

sion of Monday's contest between the Ncrversweats and Af raldtosweats. Hav

ing interviewed both managers and witnessed the (tame, I wish to present the following- details. Manager "Tick Tock-' Carroll of the Afraidtosweat9 agreed with the manager of the Neveraweats to pfesnt a basketball team worthy of competing with the champions. At 7:46 p. m. the said "Tick Took" stormed All Saints gym with an aggregation that appeared to be a cross between an Ice Hockey team nd a Lacrosse outfit. When the N?vcrsweats started their scientific march to victory, if the spectators had taken special notice of "Wood Butcher" Flynn, "Dutch" Klein and "Broadway" Hanlon, they would have been reminded of the Haymarkct riot. Caruso "Jack" Desmond, "Tick Tocks'' dark horee developed a serious case of cap trouble, which coupled together with a fancy diving exhibition kept occupied for the entire game.

Oscar Krinbill s right hand bower, "Dewey" Carroll, better known as "Baaketaminute" was easily the atar of the evening with "Pop Gleason" Helmbach a. close second. Satchel O'Rnurke's ability to absorb punishment should easily recommend him for Battle Royals. "Blondie" Chartler'a miraculous feat of playing one entire half with a silk f.hlrt on and not losing a button entitles him to . place in the "Whose Who and Why" column. In closing, I wish to announce in behalf of the Neversweats that they

J-are willing to meet ine lernDie xick

The Chicago Big Five ha been found too tough for any teams in this district. Last night before a well filled house this team defeated the East Chicago- club with a score of 30 to 15. A month ago the Big Five triumphed over the local team and as a matter of learning whether there was any question about the superiority of this team, a return game was scheduled. And they came, they saw and conqueror!. There remains no doubt as to the strength of the Chicago team now. In the firj-t half the vlsUing team ran up the wore 15 points as against the Club team's 5. While the Club boys were not discouraged by this advantage, this was too much for them to overcome in tlio last h.-ilf and another game was allowed to pa.s to the B'.g Five. It can be said that the Club team put up a hard fight and took advantage of every opportunity possible, but matched against these veterans fell to defeat.

The Seeing Eye. How do you visualize your Job? The story of the three stonecutters

leaves nothing of wisdom to be said. They were working on a stone. A stranger asked the first what he was doing. "I'm working for $7.50 a day," be replied. "And you?" the stranger asked the second. "I'm cutting the stone," growled the laborer. When the question wa put to the third etone-cutter, he answered, "I'm building a cathedra!." The Christian Register (Boston).
