Canadian heavyweight, at the Dixie Athletic club tomorrow night, is going to give an entertainment this afternoon at the club free to mem bers. At 2:30 o'clock he will start an hour's program, which will con sist of the usual stunts a lighter goes through the last day of his training, including ten or twelve rounds of sparring with his part ners and two local boys. 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. "I don't know much about Keat ing,” said Morris this morning, "but I understand he weighs 228 pounds. If this is so, he will drop heavy when I poke the old sleep producer across. You know what Joe Wal cott said: 'The heavier they are. the harder they go down.’ ” There are two other bouts on the card tomorrow night that should furnish plenty of excitement. Tn the first one Ed Hanlon ties up with Mike Saul. Michael is the boy with the big slam, and if he should happen to place it on his op ponent’s jaw it will all be over. But Hanlon is said to be a very clever boxer, and Mike may have some trouble getting it over. In the other bout, Mayer Pries and Kid Shanley will hold the spot light. There will also be a battle royal.

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 longer 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 he came to the Southern league, but even down here ever and anon he would show a flash of his old form that made oven the ranks of Tus can} unable to keep back their cheers. CLUB MEMBERS KICK: ARE CROWDED OFF OWN LINKS LONDON, Nov. 11.—The Royal and Ancient Golf Club 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 are 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 the 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 Septem* her, when the charge is a shilling a day. Many golfers go to St. Andrews, and players have to give their names to a committee the evening before, and the order o' play is decided by ballot. This year the old course has been closed for almost the entire season on account of its bad condition, due to the great amount of play thereon, and In consequence there have betn still great er crowds on the new cmrsc. and mem bers of th" club have had hardly any j 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 field 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. He could move as fast as the most sinuous athlete and knew more about infield play probably than any man who ever performed in a minor league. To add to his grotesque appear ance, Cupid invariably streaked his face tvlth mud before taking his position in the infield, and it is said that he was the originator of using lampblack under the eyes to STALLINGS WILL TRY i TO LAND MORE PLAYERS • .——— l BOSTON, Nov. 11.—-President James i E.
