owners of Madison Square Garden an
nounce that Tex Rickard, formerly of
Alaska, the successful bidder for the
lease to conduct boxing bouts and
other sporting events, in the famous
arena. Intends to start with an event
that will pack the Garden.
Sherwood Magee has been traded
again, this time to an unnamed west
ern club. Pending official confirma
tion of the deal, it is rumored that
Magee Is slated for the Cardinals.
Magee is probably the most traded
ball players in either major league,
and at the recent National League
meeting was transferred to almost
every club In the Tenor circuit except
New York.
All over the south golfing prodigies
are springing up, and the southern
policy is to pick them green and let
them rigen in transit. There is four
teen-year-old Pollard Boyd of Chatta
nooga, who began three years ago
with toy clubs. Jack Tarrant, of San
Antonia, is 15, while George Maug
ham, another Texan, is almost a vet
eran, having reached his eighteenth
year. And last, but not least, there
is Miss Alexis Sterling, women's na
tional champion, at the age of 18.
“Long Tom” Hughes, remembered
by baseball fans as a demon pinch
pitcher and jinx to the Cleveland In
dians, is now a full-fledged policeman
in Salt Lake city, and claims to have
quit baseball forever.
“Long Tom" was a great character
in the national game and he is known
in every city of the two big league cir
cuits. Hughes' last big league en
gagement was with Washington in
1913.
International boxing will take place
as the result of an invitation from the
Scandinavian countries and it is like
ly that the winners of the national
boxing championships to be held at
Boston next March will be selected
to represent the United States. The
small team of track athletes, consist
ing of Meredith, Loomis, Simpson,
Murray and Ward, made a very fav
orable impression abroad and another
team will be sent to represent Ameri
can this summer if it is found impos
sible for the Scandinavian athletes to
leave their countries on account of
military duty.

Everybody

Ads.
By BREEN.
The time is gone when
the newspaper reader
passed oyer the ad. sec
tion.
Ads. today are eager
ly read. A well worded
ad. is entertaining. It is ||
enlightening. It tells the
reader something. It may
be termed unselfish. The
advertiser has something
you want. True, he
wants something from
you. It is up to you to
decide.
In homes all over the
country newspaper ads.
are read and digested.
The housewife reads
them. So does the big
business man.
Don’t be a dog in the
