" remarked Harry Reed, throwing
down a blue print full of cute little num
ber and city lot linen. "It a all right, 1
nuppoae, to load up with thla new tangled
tackle, flies and wooden minnows and
renin and alnkless floats and snag-lean linen
and weedleiis hooks, and go up Into the
big lakes and cbld streams of the north
after the festive and frolicsome trout

Isn't It with the fishln' we kids used to
do out on the Paplo and 'round the Mis

The real estate man sniffed the spring
breese that came In across the dnk full of
fluttering papers.

"Bullhead fishing, you know, used to
begin Just as soon aa the Ice got off the
creeks. Fancy tackle wasn't necessary.

call a real particular sort of fish. He will

bull-headed beast, he Is. I have tried to
figure out today what was the most fun
getting the tackle ready, whlttlln' out bob
bers and making sinkers and rigging up the
llneo, or the catching of lho fish.
"That was In the days of the simple life,
before some fool scientist-philosopher put
a label on It."
Just a nsr Dream.
It was but a bit of day dream from the
busy real estate dealer. A little journey
that he took Into memory, the like of
which most any of the seriate grown-ups
who In serious guise are hiding boyish
hearts under a cloak of gravity, might
take. It was way back yonder maybe a
good many years ago, but the chances are
that you remembered It the day you saw
that first dandelion In the lawn. Bullhead
fishing la really a part of boyhood's own.
All winter the long cane poles had hung
on nails on the wall of the barn. Likely
enough the tips were bent or broken from
previous service, but this was easily
remedied by cutting off a section close to a
Joint. A coarse bit of line wound several
times about the tip of the polo and with
a spare length carried well down toward
the butt In case an old sockdolager should
break the tip, a good slued hook and a cork
float .completed the outfit.
Moni boys had several poles which,
when In action were net In the bank, their
owner sitting back at ease watching for
the telltale movement of the floats that
teli graphed the news of a nibble. Re
member how you would elide stealthily
down the bank and bend over the pole
waiting for the float to bob clear under
before giving the mighty Jerk that some
times tore the hoek out of the fish's mouth
or drove It so far into the horny Jaw that
a surgical operation with a jack knife was
necessary to remove It.
Matter of the Baek Pla.
Bullheads, as you remember, carry a
spikelike fin on their backs. It is dis
guised to look like an Innocent feeler,
but Inflicts a painful wound when grasped
unskilfully. The boy usually had sore
hands as a consequence of grappling with
that back fin too sore to be used In spad-,
Ing the garden, but still useful for digging
worms. Father some times commented
on this phenomenon, remarking that If
you would only dig worms progressively
Instead of confining yourself to likely
Foots the garden would get spaded after
all.
Of course you could fish daytimes sad

trousers got fearfully muddy during thoso

fishing, however, was at night and It was
with a keen sense of adventure that you
mwered Bill's whistle and set off, pole
n shoulder, right after supper.
If you wire a very lucky small boy you
bad a punt In which to make the trip up
'.lie creek to the fishing hole. The punt
as fitted with oars, and with Bill rowing
ind you steering and now and then giving
i shove with the steeHj.g paddle you could
make pretty good time.
But if you were a real boy you seldom
id opted this practical metod of propulsion.
' No, Indeed. What you and Bill did waa
each to take a paddle and, pretending that
jrou were Ieatherstocklng and Uncas, keep
io the dark shadows and let on that a
swift and hostile canoe was In clone pur

The pretence was kept up until you

places on the bank, protesting against
crowding neighbors. Of course you held
that it was a mean trick for another of
the fellows to come over and throw In
right across your line after you had had
two or three big bites, hut when the fish
seemed to have deserted your line for a
rival's you were Just as certain to move
over and try to steal somebody else's luck.
The noise that you and the others made
would have frightened any fish except
the phlegmatic bullhead. Nothing seamed
to bother him when he wanted to bite
and the only precaution observed waa
not to let any of the balt-steallng sunflsh,
which you hooked when they were large
enough, get back Into the water again.
You despised the sunflsh, but you had a
theory that If you put a fish back ha
would tell the other fish, and so you had
no pity for the little fellows that ought to

exclusively for bullheads.

NEW YORK. April 30-The new rules
governing foot ball are giving plenty of
trouble to coaches and players at spring
practice. The Yale men are finding It
difficult to adapt themselves to the regu
lations which prevent It diving tackle and
the use of arms In Interference. At Penn
sylvania the coaches declare that the new
rules are particularly difficult for a team
which has been using the Red and Blue
style of play.
Dr. Carl Williams, Pennsylvania's rep
resentative on thu foot ball rules commit
tee, talked to the squad at a recent foot
ball smoker. In speaking of the changes
In the rules, he said that Pennsylvania's
defensive foci ball would be entirely upset
and that her style of attack would be
weakened by the new regulations. One of
the favorite formations of the Red and
Blue attack was to pull the guards back,
and the rule which forces the man run
ning with the ball to hit the line unaided
In a severe blow to the old style. He also
said that Waiter Camp's suggestion which
prohibits the ends from playing outside
the opposing player on the defense will
change the type of players. According to
Mr. William, the end will no longer be
the chief factor In breaking 'up a play,
but the burden of the work will fall on
the guards, who will be obliged to run
out to the end to stop runs. In that case
the guards will have to be fast tacklers
and the ends and tacklers will be the
heavier men.
He agreed with the theory recently ex
pressed by the coach of Cincinnati uni
versity, who believes that the quarterback
will have new duties this fall. Dr. Will-
lams states that the rule which permits
the quarterback to go through the line at
any point will change that position Into
a third halfback. Since the men must hit
the line alone, Dr. Williams believes there
will be practically four halfbacks, ail
light and quick to squirm through open
ings. He said that the new regulations
will make the game very much like Eng
lish Rutfby foot ball, and he did not like
the change. Judging by reports from
Yale, the quarterback runs under the new
rules will reorganize most every system
of defense. During the "Blues' Initial
scrimmage the quarterback plunge through
the line was responsible for frequent
gains.
These new regulations are causing more
earnest spring practice at the various
Institutions than has been the case In the
history of the game. Cornell Is the only
large college which Is not planning scrim
mage practice, and there are but fifteen
men reporting regularly for work at
Ithaca.

INVASION OF ENGLAND
Crimson and Bine to Merge In Org-aa-laatlon
to Meet the Bloom-
lag British.
NEW HAVEN. Conn.. April 30-If the
plans laid by several prominent Yale and
Harvard graduates go through, a Joint
track team will Invade England thla sum
mer to compete against Cambrlde and Ox
ford. According to an alumnus who is well
posted in Eli athletic circle, the plan is
nearly completed. It Is said that the Crim
son athletes are elated over the possibility
and are eager to merge with the Blues In
order that the British collegians may be
met
Acccordlng to authentic sources, the
American universities have made a propo
sition to the Britishers. The letter Is, In a
way, a sort of a challenge. If a favorable
reply Is forthcoming, then an official chal
lenge will be forwarded and negotiations
for the Joint meet started.
The last Invasion by Yale and Harvard
of England was in 1904, when the American
athletes won from the Oxford-Cambridge
team and won six out of nine events. Then
both colleges boasted strong track combina
tions. This year Yale Is not so strong on
the track. The Elis, however, have a num
ber of good weight men, while Harvard
has a squad of fast sprinters and long-distance
runners. Trainer Johnny Mack of
Yale says that an evenly balanced team
could be welded together from the two
universities.
JEFFRIES 'FRISCO FAVOEITE
Bit

NEW YORK. April 30.-In Frisco's lead
ing sporting resorts Jeffries Is quoted as a
10 to 6 favorite over Johnson, with thous
ands of dollars offered on the bollermaker.
It seems to be a foregone conclusion that
Jeffries will rule favorite up to the moment
he steps Into the ring at Emeryville on Julv
4. In fact many sporting men believe he will
received a world of backing at 2 or I to
1 at the last moment. If these odds are
quoted it Is the opinion of many that Jeff's
popularity will be the sole reason. The
widespread desire to see the white man win
will be backed by unlimited money. But
regardless of his color Johnson will surely
find supporters among the speculators who
make it a business to take the short end of
every contert between men or beasts.

CHICAOO. April 30-Conteata for all
around championships In swimming, fanc-
.... yreiuig and gymnastics at the Uni
versity of Chicago will be under way soon.
Each sport In which the championship will
be decided Is governed by a special set of
rules designed to Insure fair competition
and to determine the undergraduate student
who Is most proficient. This year the uni
versity inaugurates the plan, which will be
observed annually hereafter, of conferring
a silver medal on the champion In each
spurt. These medals are being struck from
an unusually elaborate die, the chief de
sign of which has been adapted from the
statute representing winged Victory. Men
who In previous years have won auch
champlonahlp events also will rece.lv these
medals.
NEW YORK, April 30 Even the most
pessimistic of lawn tennis players and
there are always a few at this time of
the year are willing to Join with the
optimists In agreeing that the coming sea
son on the AtTH'rican courts promises to
be the most representative that this coun
try has ever experienced. The slgna of ma
terial progress are writ so large that he
who runs may read. Fundamentally, the
remarkable Increase In the championship
and tournament schedule list affords the
best indication as to the growth of the
sport. Then there is the promise of a
visit from famous foreign players, an ex
cellent prospect as to the Davis Interna
tional cup team, drawing from the top
class men, and the stlmulstlon of another
skirmish by the brilliant California wlcld
ers of the racquet upon eastern courts.
Indeed, the program that the officials of
the United States National association
have mapped out is a most Inspiring one.
Carried to completion with a xeal that may
be expected, the standard of the American
game Is surely destined to reach a lofty
place, which will broaden the scope of
lawn tennis In a manner hitherto unknown
In this country. .
To revert to a matter of history for a
brief moment, the effect of the discussion
as to the clay court championship of the
United States, pushed to a successful Issue
by the enthusiasm of Dr. P. B. Hawk and
western players, has been far-reaching In
Its working for the good of the game of
the courts and nets. It forced home the
fact that lawn tennis has become national.
Spirit waa aroused that heretofore had
slumbered and a rivalry has become en
gendered between tho east, the Pacific
coast and the middle west representatives
that Is bound to develop a host of men of
championship caliber.
The aecond visit of the players from the
Pacific coast sounds the note or tnis
rivalry. The Institution of such a great
tournament as the Ardsley casino has
planned strengthens the general belief that
eastern-men realize that the time has come
when they must look well to their laurels
If they Intend to maintain their time-hon
ored supremacy. There Is no question as
to the Interest created In this section or
the country by the ani.ouncement that tho
wonderful pair of Californians, Maurice F .
Mclaughlin and Melville H. Long, are
coming east early this season to piny
through all of the Importrnt tournaments
on turf right up to the national champion
ship at the casino at Nswport, R. I. They
learned the ways of the eastern cracks last
year, and the fact that they reached the
finals causes them to believe that they can
take the honors back to the Pacific coast.
the same as have Miss May Sutton and
ber prototype. Miss Hazel Hotchklss. Then,
the fact that they have been in quest of
the Davis International challenge cup, to
Australia, has given them a world of confidence.
The two Californians are In for some
hard work. Anthony F. Wilding, the great
Australian, is to play In this country also
and, ft course, that means at Newport.
Possibly the English eup team of chal
lengers may be there also, for it Is pretty
certain at present that the team named by
England will cross the Atlantic ocean
again to try the ties for the blue ribbon
of the courts with the Americans In this
country. If the ties are played outside of
Australia.
All this goes to show that William A.
Larned, the national champion In singles,
and Frederick B. Alexander and Harold H.
Hackett, the doubles holders, are In for
the trial of their lives. It Is freely pre
dicted at this time that Larned is due for
a defeat this year. The hope is that one
of the younger Americans may save the
title from the foreign Invasion, for It is
admittedly to be a hard struggle.
Taking all of these things Into account,
the schedule for the season in the east
and especially In and around New York,
has been shaped toward affording all of
the top-notch men splendid championship
nraettoe on turf. There are to be nearly
five weeks of competitions on turf leading
no to Newport. This is more than ever
before. The need of it was felt, however.
It waa first pointed out by Frederick B.
Alexander, the Internationalist, who li a
leallna- sDlrit of the West Side club ana
the Ardsley Casino, located at Ardsley-on
Hudson. He has labored to have the
elBhteen grass courts of the West Side
club, near Van Cortlandt park, put In the
best of condition, and there the famous
metroDlltan championship will be decided
early in June. From those courts the
players will move to Ardsley. There Is a
new championship on the list. To attract
uchx men as William A. larned, Robert
D. Wrenn, Raymond D. Little, Beals C
Wright, William J. Clothier, Harold H.
Hackett, Theodore Roosevelt Pell, Karl
H. Behr, Wallace F. Johnson, Robert Le
Roy and a host of others, the array of
prizes for this tournament Is to eclipse
the value of the gold and silver plate of
fered at Newport.
Following Ardsley comes the Middle
States, at Orange, N. J.; then the New
York state, at the Crescent Athletic club
at Bay Ridge. Already the Crescent lead
ers are preparing' to overtop their phen
omenal tournament last year, and that
club will be a strong factor in lawn ten
nis thla season. The Internationals may
even be decided there, on the historic turf
where the peerless Doherty brothers and
Dr. Johsua Pirn made their great stand for
the cup several years ago. Next In order
cornea the preparatory week on tne velvety
turf of the aristocratic Meadow club at
Southampton. L. I., from -vhich the welld
ers of the racquet move on to Newport.
NEW YORK, April SO A glance at the
dates already spoken for suffices to show
that the ensuing golf season will be full of
action. One of the worxt conflicts In dates
noted In a long while appears for the mid
dle of June, when no less than three events
are carded for practically the same days.
There Is the Montclalr Golf club's Invita
tion tourney June M. 17 and 18, while at
Fox Hills the Staten Island championship
will claim attention the same time. Mote
important still is the national open cham
pionship at the Philadelphia Cricket cfttb
June 17 and IS. With regard to this mix
up it may be stated that Montclalr se
lected its days first and refused to chango
when the national body picked- the snmo
week. The Staten Islanders were the last
to announce. Should Jerome B. Travers be
in form the former amateur title-holder
would have to decide between. Montclalr,
his home course, and Philadelphia.

DAVIS CHALLENGE TENNIS MEET
England and Anatralaala Preparing
for Preliminary Matchea.
NEW YORK, April 30-England and
Australasia are already moving toward the
deciding of the preliminary tie matches
between the British Isles team and the
Americans for the Davis International
Challenge cup, either at Wimbledon, Lon
don, or In Australia.
The Australasians have cabled the Eng
lish association with the view of so ar
ranging the competitions, probably for the
courts at Chrlstchurch, New Zealand.
Secretary Newburn states that before re
plying to the Australasians he has of
fered the Americans, through Dr. James
Dwlght, president of the United States
association, the choice of either playing at
Wimbledon, London, or In New Zealand.
The English association stands ready to
guarantee to the association of this coun
try the same amount of expense money,
about $2,000, that the Americans guaranteed
to the English last season for the tie
matches, which were decided upon the
courts of the Germantown Cricket club,
Philadelphia. This country has not yet
accepted or rejected the proposition.
It is Intimated that in any event no
British Isle team- will visit this coountry
for the International lawn tennis cup ties
this season. Last year the Britons nar
rowly averted a split In their own asso
ciation because of sending a team to this
cot-ntry. A prominent player stated that
It was his opinion that the proposition of
the English association would be ac
cepted, as less expense would be entailed.
It was learned that the subject had been
discussed officially In this country, and
that there was the possibility of William
A. Larned, the national champion, and
the ex-champion, Beals C. Wright, taking
their places as the leaders of the Amer
ican team that would Invade England. ,In
any event, according to the rules, the men
need not be named before August, and
probably would not sa!l for London until
after the national championship tourna
ment at Newport had been decided.

CHICAGO, April SO The Weatern Golf

the suggestion of several professionals.
Followers' of the game In thla country
have been for years looking forward to the
day the "proa" would be called to fight It
out at match play for their national
