The big white hope looks to be in good condition, and he figures that he will put the Canadian away in about five or six rounds. “1 don't know much about Keat ing," said -Morris this morning, “but 1 understand he weighs 228 pounds.’ if this is so, he will drop heavy when 1 poke the old sleep producer across.

No. 10--■ ‘Cupid* Childs Didn’t Look Like a Player By Fuzzy Woodruff. HE looked less like a ball play er than any man who ever cavorted for the populace of Dixie and he came mighty near being as great an athlete as ever pulled on a pair of spiked shoes. And his name was Clarence. The past tense in the aforegoing sentence is used advisedly. For not lunger ago than Saturday there were obscure paragraphs in the pa pers telling that Clarence L. (Cu pid) Childs had passed from this world. It will never be known whether his physical being or the name his parents gave him was the greater handicap to Childs, but, despite the face that he was built like a bar rel and bore an appellation that stands next to Algernon in the es timation of the jokesmiths, Childs rose to a point where he was at one time considered the greatest second baseman in the game. Veteran When He Came South. He was on the down grade when lie came to the Southern league, but even down here ever and anon he would show a flash of his old form that made even the ranks of Tus cany unable to keep back their cheers. CLUB MEMBERS KICK: ARE CROWDED OFF OWN LINKS LONDON. Nov. 11. —The Royal and Ancient Golf < "tub of St. Andrews has become dissatisfied with the treatment dealt out to it by the town council, and members say that unless their griev ances arc remedied they' will have to acquire another course. Complications have arisen because there are two golf courses at St. An drews. which are kept up by the club at Die expense of many thousands of ‘ dollars a year, the public having the right to play on the old course all the year round and on the new course ex- • cept during July. August and Septum- • tier, when the charge is a shilling a day. Many golfers go to St. Andrews, and ‘ players have to give their names to a f committee the evening before, and the 1 order of play is decided by ballot. • This year the old course has been dosed for almost the entire season on ' accounlt of its bad condition, due to the great amount of play thereon, and In ‘ consequence there have been still great er crowds on the new course, and mem bets of the club have had hardly any ‘ chance to play.

Childs would have looked just as natural as life with a white apron and jacket behind a bar, but it was difficult to conceive how he could carry his avoirdupois over a ball lot with enough speed to intercept a ball going at even a rate as slow as the coming of reward for De mocracy's patriots. His every appearance on the Held was the signal for the wit of the faithful to be exercised to a de gree. A fat man named Clarence has a fat chance on the ball lot. Was Fast For Heavy Man. But Childs’ fat was deceiving. There was a lot of strength in his lumpy form.
