...That's another of these old maid's games, golf, where you go around after a little ball and only give it a hit about every five minutes.* Where TIME lay down was in not printing some of the real sport news of the week. Why not tell how Babe Ruth socked his 37th, 38th and 39th and 40th homers? Why not write up some of the good fights ? How about the races?

Horace Tracy Pitkin, Congregational missionary at Paotingfu, Chili Province, China, said this one noisome summer day in 1901 to his faithful Chinese letter-carrier and general servant, Kuo Lao-man. Pastor Pitkin had some months before sent his wife and only child, Horace Collins Pitkin, then a scrappy three-year-old, back to Mrs. Pitkin's home at Troy, Ohio. His command...
