Jack Johnson Told He Must

Especial Dispatch 10 The CALI

PITTSBURG, June 29.-Jack John
son reached here today to meet Tony
Ross of Newcastle in six round bout
at Duquesne garden tomorrow evening.
There has been posted certified check
for $4,000 to be given Johnson, win,
lose or draw, but the big fellow finds
it is not for him until after the fight
The rumor is circulated here that
johnson was not training or taking
the best of care of himself since the
go with Jack O'Brien at Philadelphia,
and the fight promoters here became
suspicious that they were booked for a
fake match and so when Johnson came
into town today and even this early
wanted to get his hands on the money
he was waved away.
You'll get the money when you
earn 1t and not until then" he was
told. Johnson tamely protested.

Miller was on the mound for San Jose

ball, letting the Invaders down with
nine bingles. The San Jose man, how
ever, had three bad innings. when the
Oaklanders punched their swats, and
this led to the undoing of the Garden

COMMUTERS START OFF.
SERIES BY DEFEATING
THE BEAVERS
Transbay Boys Get All Their
Runs in.fhe First Frame and
Win Right There

Right off the reel the trailers gave
the Beavers setback and the job was
done in the first inning. The represen-
tatives of Oakland came to life in the
opening frame and the way they went
after Collie Druhot would make
any pitcher feel as if he was
busher. The lead of four runs
which the Commuters put over in
the opening period was too much for
the Portlanders to overcome and they
fell one run short.
Carson was substituted and he
pitched a giltedge brand of ball. He
had the transbay crew going from the
second inning, but his teammates We're
not going strong enough with the bat
to overcome the early lead which the
enemy had gained.
CLOSE DECISION RENDERED
In the ninth inning the northerners
came on with q rush, and Umpire Nc
Carthy was called upon to give a close
decision in the last frame which kept
the score from being tied. Speas was
on third with one down when Breen
hit long fly to Murphy. The little
outielder pegged home, and the ball
and the runner seemed to arrive to-
gether. Mccarthy called it out and
ended proceedings.
!, In the third frame Johnson clouted
the ball over the fence with one on
base and this gave the Beavers hope,
but Johnson was alone in his work
Murphy got his team away to a nice
start in the first frame by hitting q
hard one past second. Carroll picked
out nice one and clouted it by the
pitcher. Both advanced when Duffey
Lewis laid down neat sacrifice. Cam
eron hunted safely and Murphy arrived
with the first tally. Hogan kept up
the rally by bingling safely to center,
scoring Carroll Terry McKune hit for
a double and Cameron and Hogan ar
rived.
GOOD NIGHT FOR BEAVERS
;. After this rally it looked good night
for the Beavers.
Boice was on the firing line for the
Commuters and he was working nicely.
His curves were breaking to perfec-
ton and the chances of Mercedes
men did not look rosy. However, they
gave the Oaklanders some concern in
the fifth when they came through with
a temporary batting rally.
Boice got himself in wrong by walk
ing Olson. Breen raped the ball for
three bases and Olsen came home.
Johnson took up the stick and hit the
ball right on the seam and 1t went
for home run. bringing in Breen.
In the eighth Oakland came near
scoring, but fast fielding kept them
down. Score follows:

MEATS AND VEGETABLES

Certain meats are as closely allied
to certain vegetables as is the long
meter doxoIogy to Old Hundred. 10
seperate them seems almost desecIa-
ton.
Thus stewed chicken without mash
ed potatoes and pork without apple
sauce lose half their Zest.
Fried onions fairly Cry aloud for
juicy beef steak, and roast beef
without potatoes Drowned under the
meat never tastes quite the same.
Potatoes are an accommodating sort
of vegetable. They are good with all
meats, though their digestibllity when
served more than once day is ques-
tionable.
With roast meats, sweet potatoes
are appropriate as are squash, toma-
toes, asparagus and stewed onions.
Baked macaroni is fitting accom-
paniment to roast, so are Brussels
sprouts and scalloped or creamed
caulitower.
Turnips, carrots, parsnips and cab
bage are generally eaten with boiled
meats while peas, beets beans, corn
and tomatoes are good with either
boiled or roast meats.
Rice should be served with stewed
chicken. Roast duck demands both
apple sauce and slowed onions. Tur-
key without cranberrles would be as
lost as venison without currant jelly.
Celery should never he omitted
when serving poultry, and is an in
variable accompaniment of soup. 1t
is specially good for the nerves and
is fittingly served with all meats.
Sqaubs and all game have lettuce
with French dressing served with
them and lettuce must be eaten with
Virginia ham.
1t is no longer correct to serve
more than two vegetables with the
meat course. though with poultry,
cranberries are counted as an extra.

ANCIENT BURYING GROUND.
OF Mammoth Race of Indians IN
covered Near Chico

A discovery of the greatest interest
to biologists and scientists has just
been made on the famous Leland
Stanford ranch at VIVA, twenty miles
south of Red Bluff. 1t is nothing
less than the uncoverinR by the recent
FLOODS of an ancient burying ground
of a mammoth race of Indians.
Below the mouth of Deer creek the
Sacramento river makes an almost
right angle turn toward the west, aud
the raging torrents of last week cut
into the rich alluvial bank at the
bend in savage manner and carried
away thirty or forty acres Of rich
soil, and it is possible that sooner or
later the main channel of the river
will go through this cutoff.
The skeletons of the Indians we're
found at depth of twelve feet, where
the land had washed away, and
twenty or more skeletons have been
found already. The iawbones we're
half again as large as those of
grown man and the thigh bones to
the knee we're considerably longer
than those of man six feet tall
Mortars that we're used by tho Indians
in grinding corn we're found, also
largo quantity of flint.
The discoveries were made by Will
Barues FRANK HOLMAN and Charles
Dicus, and further digging may result
in the finding OF many other relics
and valuable trophies.
Being on the Stanford ranch the
discovery will doubtless be of the
greatest interest to the Stanford uni
versity and the old burying ground of
the ancient race of noble redmen will
be fully explored and exploited.

The Cause of the Delay.

Our small boy. Arthur, had long be-

desirable, since most of his playmates
came from homes provided with this
adjunct. In good time his mother told
him confidentially that his oft ex-
pressed wish for family baby would
probably be gratiied. The news was
too good to keep, and Arthur was
promptly Boosting to his nearest chunl.
"But when are you going to bare
it?'' demanded the friend.
"Oh, / don't know-'fore long, l
guess" answered Arthur.
"Huh," shifted the other, whats
the use of waiting? What goods a
baby if you can't have it when you
want it? Why don't you get it right
away?"

LINCOLN DAY POEM

Written by Mrs Julia Ward Howe
in her goth year, and read by her al
the Symphony Hall celebration of the
Tooth anniversary of the birth OF
Abraham Lincoln, Feb. ~, 1919.
Through the dim pageant of the years
A wonderous trace1y appears;
A cabin of the Western wild
Shelters in sleep a newt born child.
Nor nurse, nor parent dear can know
The way those infant feet must go;
And yet nations help and hope
Are sealed within that horoscope.
Beyond is toll for daily bread,
And thought, TO noble issues led,
And courage, arming for the morn
For whose behest this man was born.
a man of homely, rustic ways,
Yet he achieves the forum praise,
And soon oarth's highest need has
won.
The seat and sway Of Washington.
No throne of honors and delights;
Distrust of days ard sleopless nights
To struggle, suffer and aspire,
Like Israel led by cloud and fire.
A treacherous shot, sob Of rest,
A martyrs palm upon his breast,
A welcome from the glorious seat
Where blameless souls of heroes meet;
And, thrilling through unmeasured
days,
A song of gratitude and praise;
A cry that all the earth shall heed,
To God, who gave him for our need.
