Have You Heard?–
A Scotsman approached an at- tendant of a bowling green and quietly handed him twopence.
"What's this for?" asked the at- tendant.
"A game o' bowls, laddie," re- plied the Scot.
"Yes, but the fee is sixponce. Read that board."
"I hae done, laddie," nodded the Scot with a wink. "It says fees for the green, sixpence a game, but I'm nac green."

YESTERDAY'S SOLUTION
a
I VIE
It is no good disguising ihe fact. that there is belief among many that this in not the case, and recent treatment mét-, ed out to Scott has rather ag- gravated this opinion.
Some Fine US. Athletes.
I have no axe to grind for the Amerleans, says C. W. Packford
| in "Sporting Life" rather the ro- verae, for many of their methods.
Con-
and mannerisms irritate me -and I have spent many years trying to forget that deplorable unsportsmanlike duct of three of their athletes in the final of the 400 metres race in the 1908 Olympic Games when Lleut. W. Halsewelle, the only remaining British compati- tor, was deliberately fouled to pre-: vent him, winning.
We must not judge a sporting nation, however, on an isolated instance of rank bad behaviour. We should remember the many occasions when their representa tives have given Indication of possessing the same regard for "playing the game" as do our own den. I have, known, and still know, many of the athletes we have, welcomed in these isles..
Let me take a few here and there, There have been "Big " Tilden and Francis Hunter in lawn tennis; "Bobby" Jones and Walter Hagen in golf) L ́E. Scholes and W. M.. Hoover in sculling; E. Egan in box- ing; and such athletes as C. D. Reedpath, J. E. Meredith, M. W. Long, W. W. Coe, N. S. Taber, and H. M. Osborn, and there is not ono of these men who has not been the recipient of much friendship from Britons.
Take W. W. Cos as an instance. As a schoolboy I met this sturdy American when he was up at Oxford. To me ha was a Hercules Indeed, for he could put the weight over 45 feet with apparently little effort. He was a man who had the titmost respect and admiration for British sportsmen generally, and be frequently expressed the desire that he could inculcate the same principles among his own country men. That he attempted to do on his return I have little doubt
N. 8. Taber was an American by birth, but a man possessed of those sporting characteristics which we all admire. He wil be remember- ed for his great

The shop had. been in the Jinka's family for generations, so that, when a large notice, "Under New Management," appeared in the win. dow, the villagers were very inter- csted, and awaited curiously, the coming of the new proprietor.
As days went by and Jinks was still behind the counter, and the notice still prominently displayed, one of the bolder spirita asked him
when the new people were coming
in.

"What new people?" replied Jinks.
"You've got 'Under New Manage- ment' on the window,"
"Oh! that. Didn't you know I've been, and got married?"

Jones (to his grocer): "You seem angry, Mr. Brown."
Brown: "I am. The inspector of weights and measures has just been
in."
Jones: "I ha! He caught you giving fifteen ounces to the pound, did he?"
Brown: "Worse than that. He said I'd been giving seventeen."

* "That house I, have taken from you," said the dissatisfied tenant, is horribly draughty. When I am sitting in the middle of the room, my hair blows all over my head. Can't you do something for the windows?"
"Don't you think, air,” replied the agent, suavely, "it would be easier and cheaper for you to get your hair cut?"
