If the local police don't soon decide
| who is the strongest man ON the force
some measure will have to be taken to
solve the problem for them. A loqua-
cious friend of Officer John Goodcn-
berger approached him on the street
yesterday in breathless hurry and
asked him to hurry along with him to
the railroad track. "What Is the trou-
BILE" asked Goodenbcrger "There is
wagon broke down on the track and
they can't get it off and they want
you to come UP and lift 1t out Of the
way of the train" was the reply.
1t IS u noticeable fact that there are
few accomplished horse women in Ak
ron-no devotees of the saddle. 1t is
too bad. Youngstown is far and away
ahead of Akron In this respect. One
of the novel features of the great
stock fair to be held there Aug. 27,
2S, 30, and 80 will be the ladies' saddle
class. The young ladies put up the
purses FOR the class and Secretary
Ashbaugh announces that this special
class will be opened. The conditions
are as follows: Entries must be mares
or gedings up to carry 140 pounds, to
be shown at n walk canter, gallop and
overjump. The overjump performance
will count 60 points. The jump is to
be about 3 feet inches.

son interestedly.
"Yes-now let me see. l would put
Mr.. John Frank of Falrlawn In on first
base. Mr. John Schrop, of Springfield,
could hold down second. Mr.. Samuel
Faublc, of Richtield, is still pretty
fair Splinter they say, and would LET
him have the catcher's place. There's
another Richfield man-- Mr.. l.. E. Hum
phrey-and he might pitch. There's Mr..
Perry &. Ewart, OF Springfield, who
could no doubt hold down third base
like professional. Squire Kepler, of
Norton might play short stop and Mr..
VIM. Warner Of Coventry could go In
right field. Mr.. Levi Kaufman of
Franklin would be all right in left
held, and there you have 1t, an agricul.
tural base ball team which never will
get together, but which could buy IN
a professional team or several of them,

What has that got to do with us p
1T is only a subject for reflection
