'| Apother valpable | Curtain rods may be passed THE DAILY BRITISH Sports in a Nutshell The sport of angling has been de- scribed as a line with a worm at one end and a fool at the other, This is not correct. The fools who £0 in for angling are not at an -end. Neither are the worms. In early times anglers generally employed live bait. In the time of Jonah it was used for whales, though there is no record of any great catch. Proably it never had a fair trial, for the fishermen lost their profit by throwing their bait overboard in disgust. The first historical mention of the game of billiards is in the following striking lines from the Persian; The ball no question makes or ayes or noes, But, more or less as strikes the player, goes; But he who whispers asides-- ve TOV oe audible | He knows about it all, he knows, HE knows. . What can avail your highfalutin talk, Your champion cue, the color of your chalk, If your opponent thinks it is the game To pot the white and leave a double baulk? The game of billiards was known in Egypt, though the Pharaohs were more in favor of pyramids. Potiphar was the first player of note, but his | fame was eclipsed later by Marker Antony and Cleopottera. Billiards was introduced into England by \the Lombardy bankers, who displayed the three balls as a sign over their doors. The first historical example of a cycle was that known as the cycle of Cathay. This was used by the Chinese for racing against time. Time won. According to the "Cyclepeddiia Britannica," machines were unknown in the Ring, or eircular track, till the introduction of the Wagnerian cycles. Among the latest developments is the three-speed gear, which enables the cyelist to go simultaneously backs wards, forwards, and sideways at three times the legal rate. Cyclists invariably take a back seat, excepting when riding tandem, Then they sit one in front of the other or one behind the other, ac- cording to the build of the machine, Football can be played in two ways, according to the handling code, and according to the footling code, The handling code always requires more players, and the fooiling gen- erally requires more spectators. The idea of the game is simple, In the handling code the players aim at getting an oblate spheroid to penetrate the superficial area of a Vertical plane bounded on two sides by perpendiculars, on the third by a horizontal, and on the fourth by heaven. In the footling code the object is to get a round ball into a square | hole. The games are played between two sides and a referee who is armed with a whistle. This he wets alter & maich, with the help of the wine ning side. In the agen of a draw the referee is removed by the police, The earliest reference to football in history was when Robert Bruce, the Scottish International, scored six tries against England, Most sporismen are enthusiastic gardeners, not only on account of the vigorous exercise, but also on aoc count of the speculative chances which the pursuit affords. The sporting odds in favor of a sixpenny packet of apple seed, or| whatever it may be, growing up into apples, are about equal to those of the rankest outsider romping home first at 100 to 1. -And the excitement is spread over a longer period. Gardening is essentially an out- door game, and, as such, differs in many particulars from indoor pur- suits which seem to be related to it. Thus, while indoors many first-class gardeners negotiate peas 'with a knife, they would never, out of doors, think of using anything but a fork. Horse-racing is called the sport of kings, after Richard III. who once remarked, "A horse, a horse, my kingdom for a horse," and never smiled again. He was subsequently discovered with a broken, crown ia the last ditch. The object in a horse-race is to get there first, but in spite of this even the slowest horses are frequent. ly, backed. There are three degrees of betting: bet, better, bust. Before a jockey is announced as a winner he is required to weigh out, and his example is followed: by peo- ple who have forgotten to put their money on his horse.--Tit-Bits. -- Calico Forbidden. Calicut, the storm-centre of the Indian riots in Malabar, gave a new "word to the English dictionary by the cotton stuffs originally exported there, and known as "calico." It was calico from Calicut that caused serious trouble in England two centuries ago, when the Spitalfields weavers went about as- saulting anyone whom they saw wearing the Indian cotton goods, which they feared, not without rea- son, would injure their own trade. Consequently an Act of Parliament was passed forbidding the use of calico under a penalty of £300. Now- adays Calicut exports more teak and sandalwood than calico, Coal Powder. "Atomized" coal -- different from merely "powdered" coal because very minutely divided--is a new product that is finding important uses. It is used for making a high-grade paint and also as a substitute for lampblack in the manufacture of ink. employment for it foundry molds, to give 1s in "facing" smooth the surface a through the casng of a curtain far more easily and with less risk of damage to the muslin or lace it the finger of an old kid glove is slipped over the end of the rod which enters the casing first. y Have you read the advertisements?

The result was not unex- pected, but at the same time the sting of the reverse leaves a scar on | the athletic record of the Red and White that will sear for some time. This Queen's team has been the sen- sation of the season, and is probably as good a team as Varsity. Had the Presbyterians shown a bit more con- fidence in the first half against Var- sity last week they might now be garlanding the Tricolor with the championship chaplet. While the Toronto press, as usual, wae unani- mous in its declaration that Varsity were below color on that day, this may be taken with.a grain of the well-known salt, as it would hardly do if a team from a little town like Kingston gave big Toronto something to ponder over in the rugby line. Now After Hockey Honors. Ottawa Citizen. Queen's having come within an ace of winning the Intercollegiate football championship, has started to lay plans to annex the hockey honors. Most of last year's team are back at university, and practically all of the {second and third teams, which won the intermediate and Junior Intercol- iegiate hockey championships. The teams are practising faithfully in the gym 80 ag to be in excellent shape when the new Jock Harty rink fis opned at the beginning of January. The local grads, who have watched the success of the football team this year with unfeigned Joy are looking forward to Queen's winning the In- tercollegiate hockey championship. Lack of a modern rink has handicap- ped Queen's in the past, and they are loyally subscribing to the new rink. Queen's Alumni Association of Ottawa is raising $5,000 for this rink. : ees Great Horse Ran Dead Heat The greatest duel of modern rac- ing in Maryland was the dead heat between 8. L. Jenkin's Polly Ann and Walter J. Salmon's Careful yesterday at Pimlico. These turf queens met in Pimlico serial weight-for-age race, No. 3, at a mile and an eighth, Each carried 117 pounds, with Careful {n- stalled the favorite and Polly' Ann the second choice, Butwell took Careful to the front soon after the rise of the barrier, with Morris dropping into the third position with Polly Ann. An eighth of a mile from home, Polly Ann's head showed in front and it looked as if Careful was beaten, but But- well finally cut down this margin and during the remainder of the trip to the wire turf history was made. Butwell's gallant finish and his mount's gameness saved the day for his admirers, i t---- A White Hope, Ralph Smith"a young giant belon- ging to the Los Angeles Athletic club is being carefully groomed up for heavyweight championship bouts. Ralph is six feet seven inches tall, 20 years oid, and built something like Bob Fitzsimmons, with broad should- ers, long arms, big fists and light legs--the ideal fighter's build. He weighs about 225 pounds--all lean weight, After several months of training in the club gymnasium Smith was star- ted against a local amateur heavy- v ight of less height but equal poun- |dage, Smith won with three punches in the first round, each a knockdown, Now the menagers are trying to grab him and groom him for Jack Demp- sey. A -------------------------- Speed Skaters Limbering Up. Every afternoon the Toronto arena witnesses a large turnout of local speed skaters limbering up for the coming season. Particularly notice- able was the work of Miss Gladys Robinson, wonien's champion of Can- ada and the United States. Miss Robinson won hoth the indoor and outdoor titles at Pittsburg and Lake Placid, respectively, last winter by a decisiive margin and defeated In every event the best that two coun- tries had to offer. She will go to Chicago early in January to compete for the silver ekates, while later engagements will include meets" at Newport, Pitts- burg and Lake Placid. At the two last mentioned places she will defend her title won last year. "Win Raise a Fund, The pennant-winning club of the Pacific Coast Baseball League next year will receive a bonus of $6,000 from the $20,000 fund the league fs to raise, President W. H. McCarthy of the league said on arrival from Los Angeles, where the league meet- ing was held, Six other teams of the league also will share in the fund, re- ceiving from $4,000 for runner-up to $1,000 tor seventh place. The object of the bonus, McCarthy said, is to stimulate interest among the players and keep them on their toes fighting all the time, The fund is to be raised by a con- tribution from each team owner of $2,600 and the sums will be divided among the players. Kingston Runners' Seccess, "Jack" Meredith, son Meredith, Redan street, splendid showing in the five mile road race in Moalreal on Monday last. Mr. Meredith, who is only eigh- teen years of age, finished in third place and at times led the tem cone testants, The race was run in 26.3% minutes, which, considering that the ground was covered with snow ami very slippery, 'Was excellent time. Mr. Meredith's time was 31.11 and, according to the Montreal Gazelte, he finished a long distance shead of Ris opphaent. uearest 4 POOODPOVICLTLC TLC ODC0OO0Y | 4 { | WHIG. v * } New Canadians § in the Making i PPI 004 { Labor may be a commodity, but | the laborer fs a man. | 80 much is| recognized to-day by all patriots.

U. con- sider him as the instrument to be used in bringing about revolution. To social workers he is a problem, but the one thing not to be forgotten. about him is his manhood. - Whether he is a foreigner of the "bohunk" type or an unlucky native born chap, he is a prodigious worker and a wild spender. He migrates be cause he does not marry and he can- not marry for he does not save, or, as some will have it, he migrates because he must find work and the very character of his work makes it dificult for him to be thrifty. The fact remains that he can be a very useful or a very dangerous Person. His work is essential to na- tional prosperity; without him there would be ne railways or Chippawa canals. If organized against soclety, he can be a peril. The man who is likeliest to be used against Canadian institutions {§ the foreigner. Knowing little of our language, he learns only the evil about our people and Government. The first step in his Canadianization is his education. This is being under taken by the Frontier College, an organization which has been at work under several names for a long period, always with the same aim of teaching the alien worker in the camps our language, laws and cus toms. From the members of the college stafr, Young Canadians who work beside him during the day and teach him at night, he learns some- thing of Canadian ideals. All sorts of inlerests are coming to recognize the value of the instrue- tion work in the camps where mi- gratory workers live. The address of a Frontier College inspector before the International Association of Public Employment Services is just one inidcation of the interest aroused by a practical attempt to make good Canadians out of the raw material of the forejgn migratory worker. The Frontier College, formerly the leading Camp Association, hag reached its majority this year, having been es:ablished in 1900.

This first home of the college was called "The Kiichen," writes Rev. R. G. Mao Beth, M.A, in reminiscences of student days under the great Bryce. After several years, Prof. Hart was sent out by the Presbyterian General Assembly to assist in the teaching which was being done in two rooms in Donald Murray's ho Kildonan was almost heartbrok. aen Wine nipeg had taken such a icad that it became wise to remove the college to the metropolis.
