LOCALS WIN
FIRST LEG
Beat Champs in Pretty
Game 8 to d.
TAYLOR WAS REAL STAR
The Big Rush Gagged Seven
of the Eight Goals.
Tonight will be Played the Second
Game--It will be a Benefit for
Baseball Club = The Dope.

In pretty game at the rink
last night Marion put the big
cleaner on the Ashland Champs
IN the first game of the post-sea-
son series to A. 1t was Marion
all the way and the great Champs
were powerless to stop their op-
.Tonents.
The wonderful playing of Taylor
was the bright particular feature
of the game. The big rush worked
faster than in any game this sea-
son and there seemed to be no feat
that he could not perform. lie Gag
ed seven of the eight goals secured
by Marion and the greater part
OF them were shot from a most diff
lcult angle.
The work of the other four
players on the local team was ex.
ceptlonally good. Hickey played
well in front of the cage and made
some sensational stops. Huckey
and Eddie Devlin put up great
defensive game and Shaw helped
Taylor materially. Hughey Devlln
Gagged one goal but the ball rolls1
out into play again.
For Ashland. Fletcher was the
star goal shooter Fahner was no.
working as well as usual and had
much trouble carrying the ball past
the Devlins. O'Metz played his us
ual good game in the cage.
Marion tok the lead at the outset
and was never overtaken. Amid
some of the most vocifenous root
ing that has been done at the rink
this winter Taylor got two past
OMetz in the first period, while
Ashland could get but one Grad
ually during the remainder OF the
contest Marion pulled away from
the Champs and capturing the
first leg OF the exhibition series.
Tonight the second game OF the
series will be played at the local
rink and the game will be a bene
tit for the Marion Baseball club.
Ashland humiliated over its defeat
by second division club can be
depended upon to fight hard 70 :
the game as should Marion win
the contet will be over, and it will
be unnecessary to play the thiru
game at Ashland. The local play
ers have wageret their money on
the game and are confident that
they will win tonight AMI make
the third contest unnecessary.

COINS AND FACES ON THEM.

Features Of Rulers Abroad, Here the
Emblem Of Liberty.
Coins Of most Of the nations bear
upon them the faces Of their rulers. In
the United States each coin has an en-
blem Of Liberty.
The frst coins struck after the for.
nation Of the federal union bore the
face Of George Washington. General
Washington disapproved Of the custom
and It was dropped. 1t has never been
revived.
Portraits Of prominent Americans
appear upon postage stamps, internal
revenue stamps and paper money, but
never on coins. And It has been the
custom to use no portraits Of living
men even on the currency and the
stamps.
In England as soon a. King Edward
succeeded Queen Victoria the Queens
face gave way to thnt Of Edward on
all the coins and stamps In the British
empire. The accession OF new ruler
In most monarchies means an instant
change In the designs Of the coins.
But there 10 an exception to the rule
Of no portraits on American coins. The
emblem Of Liberty on the i-cent coin Is
the goddess In an American Indian
headdress. but the face shows no char
acteristics Of the North American
abOriRine.
