situation SO encouraging that 1t is
about certain that Akron will be the
seventh city On the league. The eighth
plum will very likely 80 to Findlay, un-
less Lima makes better showing,
which is not at all probable. With
Wheeling, New Castle, Washington
and Youngstown in the east. and Tole-
do, Fort Wayne. Akron and Findlay in
the west. the circuit OF the new league
would be a cracker jack and no mis-
take. The population OF these cities
foots up nearly half a million people.
and from that point OF view Is TWICE as
good Il circuit as last years Interstate.

moss grown burg, Columbus, which, by
the way will likely cut a sorry figure in

Special Officer Ryan, the night guar
dian of the Blythe estate property In
San Francisco, has most valuable as
sistant in his dog Jack. Mr.. Ryan has
little to say about Jacks pedigree. and
possibly Jack has no pedigree, al
though he looks more like an Irish ter
rier than anything else. Jack, how
ever, does not seem to care what he
looks like. He Is too busy, and most
of the time he appears as IL his shaggy
coat of dark brown hair had been
combed in a dozen different directions
with a curry comb. When Jack was
still very young he showed strong tall
emit for being a "watchman." Such a
thing as sleeping at night never enter
ed his head, so that Ryan at last got
into the habit of taking him with him
when he went on Glis lonely rounds I'm
the darkness. In less than a month he
knew every door on the route and
would run ahead and jump against
them before Ryan reached the spot.
The more he practiced the more perfect
he became i'm his duties, and IL was not
long before he would put his ear to the
key hole to listen for any sound in
side.
Jack is so well trained now that he
makes several rounds by himself every
night, and If anything is wrong II
doesn't take him long to find IL out
The dog has already been the means OF
capturing several sneak thieves. Tbs
men did not become alarmed at this
sight of a dog. as they would have
been had an officer appeared on th'
scene, and continued their work unit
