How Famous Ailment
Received Its Name
Eadbourne First Started Now Common
Charley Horse Few
Years Ago.

Why is charley horse? What does
the familiar expression common 10 the
diamond and the turf signify? You
hear ball players tanning at the hotels
and some one breaks in with a tale Of
charley horse sending him to the bad.
The effect of charley horse as OBJ
served by the outsider is lame thigh,
or a stitch of the muscles above the
knee AT least, it is something which
ncapacitates the player and Hakes
his limbs practically useless until his
charley is we'll again.
In a communication from John K.
Brown additional light is thrown on
the origin of the term. Brown says:
While attending game of ball a
few years ago in company with Walker
Miller. an old fan, now the proprietor
Of hotel at Bellefontaine. O., Jimmy

Kentucky Scrapper Who
Would Fight Joe Cans
CoIored Lightweight Has Good Recoro
Behind Him, But Lacks KNOCK
out Wallop.

Jack Blackburn, the Kentucky hsht-
weight who for years has sought un-
avaiHngly to capture the honors OF his
class, has one drawback that always
will stand in his way. He lacks the
knockout punch and is not sufilclehtly
aggressive to enable him to win de-
ctsively on points. He has defense
that is second to none. and he can con-
graduate himself on the fact That II
he does not hurt his opponents they
cannot hurt him. He is entitled to adj
ditional congratulations for the reason
that he has met some of the toughest
fighters in the country, and in a ma
fority of instances has conceded
weight to his opponents.
1t has been Blackburns ambition to
beat Joe Cans, but up to date he has
The Superior times. [volume] (Superior, Wis.) 1870-1912, 1907-04-20

not succeeded. Neither has he been
decisiyely beaten by Cans. The
pair met three times, and in the
only bout that went any distance, Is
rounds, Cans got the decision on
points. In the other two encounters,
six rounds each, in Philadelphia, there
was no decision.
Blackburn has to his credit three
drawn battles with Sam Langford the
Welter who is now in England looking
for bout with Gunner NOR for the
heavyweight championship of Great
Britain, The bouts between Langford
and Blackburn We're 10, II and Is
rounds, and each was stubbornly con.
tested. Blackburn also has a brace Of
draws with Larry Temple, one of 10
and the other of II rounds.
Blackburn, in addition, has three
drawn battles with another hard Gus
toner, Dave Holly. In fact Blackburn
has shown that he is one Of the hard
est nuts TO crack in the Qucensbcrry
game, and if he had a good knockout
punch he would unquestionably get to
tho front
blackburn recently placed himself
in care Of Tom O'Rourke, who has had
great success in handling negro fight
ers. and he may develop a knockout
wallop for his man. Blackburn was
born at Versailles, Ky, in 1883. and is

Charley horse?' I said to Walker
The old fan replied: 1 guess so
Then he asked me if ! knew how the
term originated When | replied no,
he said.
Well, during the late sos the Bos-
ton and Providence teams met in
series of warmly contested games. The
clubs We're so evenly matched that the
scores were always very close. Charley
Radbourne, TO my mind the greatest
pitcher who ever threw a ball, and
who was affectionately called odd
Hoss,' was tossing EN- up. Nava, a
Spaniard, who spoke broken English,
was his catcher.
In one game neither side scored
for more than nine innings. Excite
ment was intense, Naya was dancing
around like a crazy man, shouting in
a mixture of Spanish and English.
Finally RadbOmno landed one square.
" on the nose, sending the bah over
the fence for he only run of the
game
Radbourne hit around the bases
at a merry clip, hUt when he reached
second the players yelled to stop run

Radbourne trotted to third, but after
touching the bag he suddenly deyel-
oped lameness and came limping

Nava. seeing his battery pal in
trouble. raced anXiously to Radbourne
and, patting him tenderly, said:
What's a malta you, Charley

oourne's first name and his nickname
IN the combination, which Brown says
resulted in the term charley

BLEW OPEN SAFES
CRACKsMEN MAKE BIG RAID IN
 LAMAR COUNTY.
over a Thoueaud Dollars in Gold and About Six Thousand Dollars fin Vai- uabIa Securities Were
 Stolen.

Birmingham, Ala, Sept. 1e--A spec ial to The News from Suligent. sayS that cracksmen made 6 raid on Vernon. the county seat of Lamar County. last night and hlew open the safe in Tom Guyton's store and secured over $1,000 in gold. They also cracked the safe of J. A, Cobb, another merchant, and se- cured $50 in cash and S6.000 worth of valuable papers. Then they stole the aherifrs horse and escaped. The sherin organized a posse early today and near Gatman, Miss. fifteen miles from Yer non, they got near enough to the rob- bers to capture the stolen horse. The posse Is still in pursuit and a battle Is expected.
 Sheriff Higdop, of Jefferson County. was telegraphed to send hounds to as- sist in the pursuit. Lamar County is where Rube Burroughs, the noted train robber lived, and announcement of the burKlaries and safe blowing aroused more excitement than ever was heard of during the days of Burroughs.
 A report from Lamar County is to the affect that the sheriff and posse are de- termined set of men and nothing will be left undone to catch the safe blowers, who are undoubtedly profes- sionals in the business and when over- taken will shot fight. Every telephone in Lamar County was used this morn ing calling on town and county officials to lend assistance in catching the men who performed the work at Vernon.

 CONTINUED.

 hama Attorney.

selxna, Sept. 1e.-(Speoial. )-The case of the State against W. w. Ouarles was called in the Circuit Court of Dallas County this afternoon, and after much arguing by the attorneys the case was continued until the next term of the court.
 The case Is a disbarment proceeding which has been before the State Bar Association for two years.
 When the case was called this after noon Solicitor Thompson asked that 1t be continued, saying that 1t was such an important case that he himself wanted to conduct 1t for the State but that he could not do 1t at this term or the court as his father was very SICK and he was compelled to accompany him to North Carolina this week where if was hoped that his health would be benefited.
 Hon. Syd J. Bowie for the defend- ant pleaded that the case should go to trial at once; that 1t had been hanging for some time and that his client wanted 1t disposed of so that 1t could clear his name, as the case was hurt- tug him and all that he held sacred
 MT. Bowie said that in Assistant so- licitor R. H. Mangum the State had representative who was capable of talk ing care of its interests and he urged that 1t be taken up at once.
 Hon. H. s. D. Mallory, who also represented the defendant. argued along the same lines as MT. Bowie for an immediate trial.
 Solicitor Thompson again asked for continuance. saying that for the wei fare of the State 1t was necessary tha. he should conduct the case, and that at this term of the court he could not do SO.
 Judge Miller granted the continu- ance.
 With this case disposed of the petit jurors were discharged and the court adjourned for the week.

Hon. Seaborn Wright, of Rome. Ga. who Is being spoken of as a candidate for the United States Senate from that State. left here today for his home, after delivering two powerful addresses on prohibition in this city.
 Last night he adressed the laboring men. and told them of the amount of money they are daily and annually expending for liquor. He related that last Saturday the liquor men making deposits in one of the five banks of the city. deposited over 5000 as one days receipts. and he had not learned the amount deposited by saloon men in the other banks.
 His addresses were largely attend ed, and his eloquence and the forcible manner in which he presented facts probably won many converts for the prohibition cause.

Accident to steamer.

The big British steamer Petunia. which had completed 8 cargo of lumber and timber. and was ready to proceed to sea, struck q log end or dead head. in the harbor early this morning as she was backing into Muscogee wharf. and a large hole was knocked in the hull on the starboard quarter below the water line.
 The water rushed into the vessel at such an alarming rate, that she was quickly moved to Perdido wharf. west of the city and carried into as shallow water as possible. There she sunk. but the depth of the water did not al- low 1t to reach the decks. Today a diver went down as soon as one could be secured, and made an examination finding the hole and caulking 1t temp orarily. The pumps were then started and it is expected that by tomorrow morning the hold will be clear of water. which had gained a depth of aDout six feet.
 The vessel will then be lowed to deeper water and a more complete ex- animation made, and if 1t is found that she has sustained no further injuries. the damage will be repaired and the steamer will proceed to sea It Is ex- pected that a portion of the cargo will have to be discharged in order to raise the steamer.
