FOR SECOND TERM
State Association of Sheriffs Be.
ing Formed and Will Seek to
Amend Laws
SEEK TO MAKE A RECORD

Probably the most important feature
of the Wisconsin Association Of Sher-
ifs to be organized in Madison on the
first Monday in October will be an or
gained effort to secure an amendment
to the constitution limiting a sheriff s
term to four years instead of two
years
This, together with the banding Of
Wisconsin sheriffs for the purpose of
fighting crime and apprehending Grim
mails, will constitute the main incen-
tive Of the organization.
Had there been larger attendance
Of Wisconsin sheriffs in st. Paul at
the convention Of the national associa-
ton, said Sheriff w. R. KneH Of Mil
waul1ee, president Of the national body
'the state organization would prob
ably have been formed there. But
there were but twelve there and we
did not feel that it would be right to
organize out of the state with such a
small number.
There are seventy-two sheriffs in
the state, representing each county. I
believe nearly all will be present. We
believe that a sheriff should have four
years instead Of two because he has
more time to carry out his plans, form
ed when he enters office. 1t is rot so
much question Of the added length
of time, but with four years one can
accomplish more every year, knowing
that he has the necessary time to finish
than one can when his time is too
snort to allow of prosecuting all his
reforms.
"The annual meetings will bring
each sheriff in closer contact with the
others, thus making it easier to catch
criminals. We want clearly defined
laws, giving the sheriff his representa-
tive rights and letting him know where
he's at. -
Sheriff Knell expects to go to Madi-
son soon to perfect preliminary ar
rangements for the meeting and will
be one of the moving spirits in the
organization. The duties of hosts will
devolve upon Sheriff l. E. Kittleson,
Madison, Undersheriffs G.. M. Kanouse
and samuel g. Oakley and Deputies
Gunder Erdahl and G.. 0. Tellefson.
All deputy sheriffs and those con-
nected with sheriff IS offices in any way
will be entitled to membership in the
new organization.

There was comedy Of errors out at
Breen Park Sunday afternoon and it
seeems to be time for Manager Breen
to take another shake at the Kenosha
team and shake out some more of
the worthless ones. The game Sunday
was so Erotten' to use the vernacular
that it was hardly worth further men
ton. Five errors in one inning made
it an easy matter for the Milwaukee
team to get the game by a score of
to 1. It might be said further that
not one of the four nor the one run
was earned. The whole game was a sue
cession of errors which Melted the Mil
Waukee team runs and the Kenosha
players abuse. 1t seems that the
abuse did little good, but it is pretty
certain that falling off in the receipts
at the box office will follow if Breen
does not get out and find some men
who can play ball and play it all the
time.
The first bad news came when 1t was
announced that Smith was sick, but the
Milwaukee manager kindly consented
to loan Cleary to Kenosha for the game
and put in "Cy' Young, a Texas
Lacquer to pitch for Milwaukee. Cleary
pitched good game and allowed but
two hits and Young was just as eff
fective. Young had some support and
Cleary had none. Whenever there was
a chance for Milwaukee to score, one
of the Kenosha players was sure to
make an error. It was simply impossi-
BILE for all the errors to count, but Mil
Waukee got every run on errors. In the
first inning Hickey allowed Loeble to
get his base and after Harvey went out
to left field Leopold got base on an
error by Clearly and Loeble sprinted
clear round to third. Schulz got base
on balls filing the bases and after Bel
sci had struck out, Laabs fumbled the
ball and allowed Loeble to score and
Goede to reach first. Then Jordan sent
out a two base hit scoring Leopoldaand
Schulz When Milwaukee had the game
won Collins managed to throw the next
batter out. There was another success
sion Of errors in the fifth which per-
mitted Leopold who started out with
the only other hit Of the game to score.
Kenosha got her only score IN the
seventh when Wallace got base on
balls and got down to second on a
sacrifice by Roddy. He scored on a
rank error by the Milwaukee first base
man. The score of the game follows:

ing his way through the mud and over fallen
trees, Phil suddenly stumbled on roots, and as he
did SO he displaced number of 'back stones"
that had become uncovered by the washout.
Old Phil had heard the legends of the exist
ence of 'blacl stones that would burn" in the
mountains but he had never seen any of them,
and he and the older mountaineers looked upon it
as a fairy story. He was of nquisitive turn
of mind, however, and when he unearthed the
stones he searched for more Beneath the roots
of a fallen tree he found many of them and he
filled his pockets with them and lugsed them
home.
