war DEPARTMENT IS
LOOKING FOR H0RSESH0Es

Chicago, Feb. IL The Phoenix
Horseshoe company of Chicago, has
received query from the war de-
partment as to how many horseshoes
it could furnish the government in
three months from the time such an
order were given.
John W. Kiser, the president, and
the other officers of the concern regard
this query as significant If filed
1t would break all records.
"The letter we received from the
war department was in the form of an
official communication, with several
blanks to be filed out" said Mr..
Kiser this afternoon. "As we never
had received such a query before 1t
struck us rs unusual.
''We figured that in three months
We would be able to furnish the gov
ernment $4,000. kegs of horseshoes,
and replied to that effect"

ONE RUN IN TWENTY
ONE INNING GAME

What do you know about thisf Here
is the report of game that took place
in the bush covered wilds of Pennsylva-
mia. 1t seems that there is town there
called Shoyerstown and, wonderful to
relate, they actually have a ball team
there. They went up against team
from place called Lebanon, not the
one of biblical fame where the cedars
grow, merely village where the coal
diggers live.
That game lasted twenty-one innings
and then one Mengert hit the ball over
centerfeld fence and the only run of
the game was scored. This same Men
CERT handed out three triples and three
doubles during the game, he must have
had poor lot of runners to work for
him. if they could score only one run
off three triples. The official scorer
must have been all right for not a
single error was recorded for either side.
This report is taken from the Phila.
delphia Press and, while we do not
doubt the veracity nor capability of
that papers reporters, we feel that a
twenty-one inning game with no errors,
one run and three three.baggers by one
man must have been a hummer.

SKIDOO FIGHT
ATTELL VS.. MORAN

After long wrangle Abe Attell and
Owen Moran were matched by Pro-
moter Coffroth to box twenty-three
street Arena. Attell gained his point
so far as the referee is concerned.
Jack Welsh will be the ring official,
and while Tiv Kreling, who represented
the Britisher, endeavored to get Attell
to consent to extending the contest
from twenty to thirty-fve rounds by
Offering him cash bonus of $500, he
only managed to gain an extra three
rounds. Only the calling of the right
side of tipped coin won him this
concession. When Kreling saw that it
was useless to try and induce Attell
to fight thirty-five rounds, he held out
for %, but the local boxer was unwill-
ing to concede even this much and in
desperation Kreling agreed to take a
chance on calling the turn when Cof-
froth suggested that they agree to
split the difference and that flip of
the coin should decide whether it was
to be a twenty-five or a twenty three
round battle. Kreling won the toss
and the "skiddoo' number was insert
ed in the articles. It's too bad that
they didn t make it twenty-five and a
half rounds while they were at it,. That
would have been even more unique
number of rounds than the "skiddoo .
number.
The men will weigh in at 122 pounds
four hours before entering the ring
and are to receive 60 per cent. of thu
receipts, which are to be divided ON 9
so and 40 per cent. basis.
Several times during the two hours
that Coffroth, Kreling and Attell ar
gued it looked as though the match
would be declared off and that the
little Hebrew and the promoter would
come to blows, as there were many hoi
exchanges in, which the lie was freely
passed However, no damage was done
and the signatures were eventually
scrubbed to the slips of paper.

made by Engineer Burbank of the

at present engaged in dredging the
harbor, is carried out. Mr.. Lord states
that he was told that ne would be ar
rested and brought into court, and it
is all over the terms of the contract
There has been disagreement over a
provision of the specifications between
the engineer and contractor, the result
being that Engineer Burbank demand

and taking advantage of the truce the
big scoop dredger Governor was placed
on the marine railway and given an

wanted the contractor to haul the
dredged material to a point farther
away from the starting point than the
specifications called for. Contractor
Lord refused to deliver farther than
the specifications required Of him, and

BILLY DELANEY
ROASTS BURNS

The following article taken from the
San Francisco Bulletin is interesting
as voicing the opinions of that grand
old veteran Billy Delaney. Billy very
seldom gets off on the wrong foot, and
when he takes man up, that man
comes pretty near growing into a
champion.
When AL. Kaufman was training at
Arcadia for his fight with George
Gardiner, Billy was there and watched
the big lad very closely. 1t took AL.
eight rounds to do away with the su
perannuated George, and the fans
raised howl and said that he was
in the n. G.. class for taking so long
to do an easy trick. But Billy thought
otherwise; he has taken Kaufman
under his wing and proclaims that hi
has the coming heavyweight champion
in charge.
This is the article referred to:>
"Billy Delaney, the popular fight
manager, dropped into the Bulletin of
fee today on a little friendly visit and
in discussing the heavyweight crop OF
pugilists suggested that the various
promoters get together and hold an
elimination tournament, the winner OF
the final bout to be presented with O
belt to be purchased by popular sub
scription. what does Tommy Burns
intend to do when he gets through
fighting all the dubs in Australia anc
do you think he IL fight any of the
tough nuts in this countryf 1t looks
to me as though he is trying to accu
mulate enough easy money to retire as
champion without defending it against
any hard game. Whenever he is chal
lenged by any fighter who is consider
ed to be of championship timber he
sidesteps him by making all sorts of
ridiculous demands. Now, l believe
the American public is getting tired
of his nonsense, and in order to de-
velop white heavyweight champion
to be pitted against Jack johnson fol
the title tournament could be ar
ranged in order to determine who is
the best man in the lot. Ketchel AND
Thomas are two strong, husky young
heavyweights, and the winner of mex
Tuesday night S fight could be pitted
against the winner of the Flynn and
Al. Kaufman bout in Los Angeles the
latter part of this month. If Kauf-
mann wins IN willing to sign him VI
with either Thomas or Ketchel. AS
Ketchel has challenged Tommy Burns
he should have no objection to fighting
Kaufman. Any other likely heavies
now in the field could also be paired
off, and in this way the field could be
narrowed down to two men, who could
fight for the belt and the honor of be
ing matched with Burns for the title
if the latter has the "sand,' and the
winner of that bout could be sent
against Johnson.
"The suggestion made by Burns that
/ Ketehel should fight Philadelphia Jacl
O'Brien before thinking of issuing 9
challenge to him was also commented
upon by Delaney. 'O'Brien is one
man that Kaufman wants to fight,
said Billy. He has an old grudge tC
settle with the Quaker City boxer and
is just itching to wipe out that seven
teen-round defeat. AL. will take on
O'Brien first, and if Burns is looking
for trouble will accommodate him
next. -

ine latest instance concerns a first cousin of Signora Toselli, the notori. ous ex-Crown Prince of Saxony. His name and title are Prince Victor Sal- vator gu Isenburg- -Birstein, and he has been quietly married to poor coun. try doctors pretty daughter, who un- til her marriage. was occupied in man. aging her fathers humble household, and in keeping 1t tidy. Tn spite of all the efforts of the Princes family to stop the marriage. the Prince and Fraulein Anna Rohrer were married at the Registers office in Nuremberg.
 It is only in birth and pride that the Prince and his wife. His means are so small that he has had to get a job at an automobile factory at Mann helm.
 He had loved Anna Rohrer ever since she was a little girl, living in the neighborhood of his mothers cas- tie in Bohemia. But his family are dreadfully mortified at the ''piebian" marriage he has made. and refuse to receive his wife as a Princess. As compromise the Grand Duke of Hesse has conferred upon her the morgan atic" little of Baroness won Rohm- bach.
 Sultan PIacates Soldiers.
 Sutton Abdul Hatid. who owes his army an enormous sum in arrears of pay, attempted in a naive way to pls- cate the rank and file.
 Every Friday the Sultan goes to the mosque for the ceremony of the "So- lamik" driving through the streets between ranks of soldiers lining the route.
 It struck Abdul that while he was in the mosque. the troops would get cold and hungry during their long walt, so he gave orders that they were to have refreshments. Each soldier was soon provided with handful of ''hard- tacks's and a mug of hot tea, which was brewed in huge samovars
 Thus. on the return journey, the Sultan was guarded by a more loyal and contented body of troops than had lined the route on the way to the mosque. s.4t
