Harry Vardon, English Golfer.
The visit of Edward Ray, Harry Var
don and other English golfers to this
country last year prompted talk In
soiling circles of having annually a
series of International golf matches
similar to thoso of the Davis cup ten
nis series.
Nothing ofllclal has bcon announced
regarding tho movement, but it Is re
ported that ono of the leading golf
clubs In this country Is referring the
2dea to tho DritlBh golf authorities and
SPORTING EVENTS OF YEAR
United States Loses Grip In Bio
Classics Carried Off Honors In
One International Event.
Tho past year has been a notable
one In sports desplto tho blight of tho
Europpan war. Many worthy deeds
have been done and some records
Biavo fallen. Amorlca'a pre-eminence
in sports of other years is gone, for in
only one International competition did
ho United States carry off tho honors.
This victory wns tho triumph of
Harvard's second rrow in tho grand
challcngo cup raco at Henley, Eng
land, England's best and German
and other crows wero beaten. Two
American crows, tho Crimson and
Union CoAt club of Boston, fought it
out n tho duals. Tho trophy gained
-would usually remain in America ono
year, but on account of tho war tho
Henloy regatta of next summer Is to
bo given up and thoro is no telling
how long tho crow will harbor this
blue ribbon of tho rowing world.
Tho Australian team won tho fa
mous Davis tennis cup brilliantly. Dut
lljuirlco E. McLoughlln earned tho
recognized title of tennis champion of
tho worldonly to bo dofeated two
weeks lntor in tho American national
tournament.
In p61o the English Hurltngham
club defeated tho Meadowbrooks in
two straight games. England also won
that an offer of a cup has already been
made by the American club.
British golfers, both men and wom
en, havo at times during the past ten
years played moro or less frequently
In American tournaments, and Ameri
cans have mado still moro frequent np
pcaranccs in England, but tho con
tests havo lacked tho well-defined ar
rangement which would bo brought
about by competition along tho lines
of tho Davis cup tennis series.
. .
NEW WAY TO INCITE
'Mcngo hopes aro said to lncludo a
tt.:e of "Kid" Gleason for Fritz
Mnisel of tho Now Yorks.
It Is announced that Patsy Dono
van and Tony McCarty will bo tho
Boston club's scouts this season.
It's a long wny to Tlpperary, but it's
a longer way to tho homo plato if
you aro a Nap standing on third baso.
"Collins Sold Because ilo Was a
Trouble-makor," says a headline. Ho
was for soven American leaguo clubs.
If tho magnates don't want to wait
for the papers next season to find
out tho scores they might set up tick
ers in tho courtrooms.
Tho St. Louis CardinalB will train
at Hot Wells, near San Antonio, and
will play tho Cleveland team in exhi
bitions in tho early spring.
Tho passing of Wlltso and Donlln
from tho Giants opens opportunities
for minor leagues that want managers.
Both aro heady men In the game.
Andrew J. donkloy, tho former
pltchor of tho ox-world's champion
Athlotlcs, and Holy Cross star, will
coach tho 1915 Columbia university
nlno.
,
During tho spring and summer Er
nest Qulgley umpires baseball; dur
ing tho fall ho's a football umpire and
he puts in tho winter umpiring basket
ball. In tho other seasons ho takes
his vacation.
If it hadn't been for tho Cincinnati
nowspnpors tho Beds would have sup
planted Charley Herzog with another
manager. Herzog, it seems, had all
tho scribes with him this year, some
thing unusual in Porkvllle.
i
INTEREST IN HIMSELF
Al McCoy, middleweight pro
tender, who gained famo by
knocking out Gcorgo Chlj In a
round, seems to havo discov
ered a now way to Incito inter
est In his ring doings. Evident
ly ho borrowed tho Idea from
tho fnko wrestlors, who have
long used tho trick. Thoso gen
tlemen found that when it wob
impossible to gain popularity un
popularity would servo their
purpose just as well. That gnvo
McCoy his cue, and now it ap
pears his ono ambition is to
rouso' tho iro of tho spectators
by making use of ovory foul
trick known to tho ring. The
natural result is that when Mc
Coy's name appears on tho bill
tho clubhouso Is crowded by
by thoso who corao to Boe him
soundly thrashed.

Burglars in Minneapolis Do the High Wire Act
MINNEAPOLIS. Robbors working In Minneapolis tho other day performed
feats that rivaled anything by the motion picture actors posing for tho
most perilous perils. The safe crackers made their first attack at tho Min
neapolis branch of tho Schlitz Brow
ing company. A string of boxcars on
a railroad spur running alongsido tho
building gave them their chanco.
Scaling tho ladders on tho cars, the
robbors climbed from the car tops to
tho roof of a one-story annex. From
this roof they pried open a second
story window in tho main building
and entered tho ofllces of tho brow
ing company. They knocked the com
bination off the safe, but failed td
throw back tho bolt and gavo up tho
Job. Leaving tho brewery ofllce tho cracksmen climbed back out tho win
dow to the annex roof. Nearly sixty feet to tho north was tho feed store
of Johnson & Olson. In tho store roof was a skylight, Electric light wires
passed from tho roof of tho brewery to the feed storo. They seemed to
offer tho only available route to tho skylight. Tho robbors took tho chanco.
Tracks on the annex roof Indicated that there were two of tho cracks
men. The sagging and twisted wires told the story of the tedious and risky
Journey through tho air from one roof to tho other. Tho two men had appar
ently traveled hand over hnnd along tho wires for tho entire distance.
Onco they had gained the roof of tho storo It was an easy matter to
enter tho place through tho skylight. There they were more successful than
on their first visit. They knocked the combination off tho safe and then pried
open the cashbox. In tho box they found $25 In good cash and three counter
feit dollars that had been taken in by mistake. The robbers counted over
tho money, threw out the counterfeit dollars and left them on tho counter.
Then they left tho building by opening a street door.

Chicagoan May Have Nonedible Watchdog-Goat
j
HICAGO. An educated goat combined goatlng with watch-dogging at the
fruit store of Miko Supalos, West Madison street and in the Supalos apart
ment upstairs. But that was before tho neighbors got Supalos' goat
Ono morning recently tho noble
though slightly odoriferous animal
had disappeared. Supalos called for
tho intelligent animal in the gentlest
tones, then listened In vain for the
plaintive "Erp-erp" with which Stan
ley, as tho goat was named, was wmt
to answer.
Supalos went for a walk in the
back yard. He looked over the fence,
nnd with horror beheld Stanley's
beard and horns. A great rago seized
Supalos.
Supalos took the beard and horns nnd fled to his apartment, there to medi
tate upon vengeance.
As he passed the flat of John and Gus Luntris he smelled a feast in prepa
ration. He sneaked Into the flat and found fried goat on tho table.
"Loafers," he cried, or Greek to that effect, "you cannot fool mo. Even
when he Is cooked I know my goat by his odor."
They did not even invito Supalos to help eat Stanley, so he went to Judge
Caverly. y "
"That goat could make moro noise than a couple of bulldogs," Supalos
told tho Judge. "I want a warrant for that Luntris. Also I want advice
whether I should get another goat or a watchdog. They would not be bo
likely to eat a bulldog, but I like a goat better."
"You may have both tho warrant nnd the advice," the Judge said. "Bet
ter get a bulldog and tie Stanley's horns and whiskers on him. Then you
will havo a noneatablo watchdog-goat."

English Writer Deplores Fact Caddies
Are Necessary In Golf Many
Things Overlooked.
An English writer who has shown
good doductlvo, as well as writing
ability, has very much deplored the
fact that golf is training a nation of
porters mero carriers of clubs. Ho
rogrots that caddies aro necessary and
fools that an army of spoiled men la
constantly recruiting.
Ho may have good grounds for his
lamentation, ns affairs aro ordored in
England, but my limited oxperlenco
hero In Amorlca inclines mo to tho
opinion that tho boys who aro caddies
develop much quicker and surer into
bottor positions than they otherwise
would, solely bocause as caddies they
nttract the attention of men ahlo and
willing to help thorn, says a writer in
tho Milwaukee Sontlnol. Surely it can
not bo truo that Englishmen fall to
noto energy and brightness and will
ingness In their caddies and noting,
neglect to help tho little follows who
display such characteristics! How
ever that may bo, hero In Amorlca wo
help thoso kind. Personally, I know
of ono Ilttlo country club whoro at
least ton former caddies havo "good
Jobs" becauso as caddies thoy attract
ed tho attention of men who could and
did glvo them a chance. Don't thoy
think of these things in England?

New York Is Filling Up With High Class Crooks
NEW YORK. Now York Is full of high class crooks and fllmflammers.
Europe has literally dumped her whole museum of artistic blackmailers,
swindlers and light fingered gentry Into this country. With Monto Carlo,
Paris and London dead, they have
como here to make a "living." Tho
cafes and lobstor palaces along Broad
way nt night are now dotted with this
new class, who aro the real elite in
the ranks of unlawful money getters.
There aro among them be-dlamonded
adventuresses, comely as Cleopatra,
with wits keen and over alert for un
suspecting gentlemen who havo weak
nesses for feminine charms; there aroW
counterfeit counts and earls galore, all
on tho still hunt for tho long green.
Tho night Hfo o'fEuropo Is under military regime to bo exact but to thoso
who thrive in the shadows It Is dead, inert. Their mecca now is Now York.
Horo thoy know thero is always a fresh crop of thoso Individuals vulgarly
known ns "suckers."
In ono prominent Broadway lobster palace tho other night a detoctlvo
who spends much of his time ferreting through tho night life of this city
counted half a dozen strangers, all foreigners, and all branded with that unmls
takablo stamp of dishonesty that a good dotectlvo recognizes on sight. Tho
women aro moro artful than the men in slipping into a nlcho in tho night
life. Most of them aro stunning of face and figure; their foreign manner
isms aro rcsistloss to many opulont individuals that frequent tho cafes. Tho
problem of these foreigners baB already been felt by tho pollco. Stool pigeons
are dally bringing In reports of this and that now arrival, or how so-and-so
was relieved of a quantity of money and was afraid or ashamed to roport
it to tho pollco. ' (
Omaha Officials Want to Know When Is a Child
OMAHA. when 13 a CMiat uno question lias oeen pui up io vjuy Auurney
Rlno, tho Omaha city commission, tho Omaha Street Railway company
and the tcachors In Crelghton university and it has not yet been solved.
A city ordinance provides that
tho street railway company shall sell
at certain reduced rates tickets good
for tho transportation of "children at
tending school."
Several days ago a party of
Crolghton unlvorslty students boarded
a Harney streot car and tendered the
conductor tho reduced rato tickots.
Tho conductors refused to accept
them, and tho young men refused to
either pay tho full rato or got off.
When tho car arrived at tho univer
sity grounds thoy got off and went their way.
Later n committee of tho studonts called on tho street railway officials
nnd another committee went to seo tho city commissioners and then to City
Attorney Rlno.
Mr. Rlno looked in tho dictionary and found various definitions of tho
word "child."
"Wo como under overy ono of those definitions," argued tho twenty-elght-year-old,
six-foot "child" at tho head of tho committee.
And City Attorney Rlno had to acknowledge that ho was right.
"But tho ordinance says theso reduced faro tickets aro good for children
only," tho lawyer reminded them.
"And If wo aro not children, then tho dictionary is wrong," quoted tho
six-foot "child." Aud so tho caso Btands.
