Taken T7nder tbf Wine of the Amateur Athletic Union Where Deaf Have an In Im- door Society has taken up ring tossing, which found favor earlier in the season at some of the colleges for young women.

It is an excellent game for the fuir sex for the reason that ic uuikc's the players raise their arms, square their shoulders and throw- out their chests. It is played with two sticks lot of or hoops of various diameters. The sticks are held ono in each hand crossing each other like a pnir of shears with long handle. By putting the sticks through a ring and pulling them abruptly apart the ring i-s sent sailing off through the air. Practice enables the stick holder to aim with considerable accuracy, and this power to determine the direction of the ring makes a game possible.

The Amateur Athlerac union is determined to protect the games of basket ball from the mint of professionalism. Beginning with the new year all basket ball teams will have to register their players with the Amateur Athletic union. It will be also necessary to schedule all games, unless between home teams, with the district; association the A. A.

Chicago is disposed to continue foorball all winter in the Coli.scnm. The fact is noted thai; in the game between the Indinn and Illinois teams no complaint was made by the Indians of the Colisoum Jield bu- yond the simple statement of Captain Bemus Pierce that the indoor field is not; so good as the outdoor gridiron to play the game upou. The Illinois players say that' except for some spots where the field sur- face was evidently sornewhiiC for fast, work and for some other places where the ground was too hard for tackled men to fall without seeing stars, the Coliseum field was ideal for the game of football.

Some local lovers of the game took opera glasses and lieldglasscs with them to the Indian-Illinois game, and pronounce the experiment a great success. the players were grouped in the center of the field, the ordinary opera glass brought the men out in pleasing prominence and made them appear as they would to spectators upon the side lines 25 feet away from the players, and when the play took the athletes to a remote end of the field the glasses again served to "move the players up To Walk tbe Atlantic. It is announced that Captain William A. Andrews, who has crossed the Atlantic several times in small boats, and C. Oldricve, a water walker, have made, a compact to cross the big pond to Havre, France.

Captain Andrew-; will go in a 14); foot canvas boat, which can be folded when not in the water. Professor Old- rieve will wear the shoes with which he has strolled over New England waters and the shores of Cuba. By the terms of the compact Captain Andrews must; keep Oldrievi; in sight and provide him food when he is, hungry and rest when he is tired. When in need of rest Oldrieve will get into the boat, which must be sailed in a circle while he sleeps, so that it cannot be said that he did not walk all the distance. .4 Ottsint Photograph Frame.
