Indian Landmarks in Ohio Woods

In the vicinity of Defiance. O., can be found trees that many would think freaks of nature. Such they are, but they are created by the hand of man.
 According to the stories of some of the old timers, these trees are much older than the present generation has any idea of, and at one time served as Indian guide posts. It is said that in the early days, when the Maumee valley was one vast woods, the h. dians bent these saplings to indicate certain paths. The trees. because of their deformity, grew slowly. and al though they are many years old, never attained the size of their brethren in the forests. Similar trees exist near Fort Wayne.

Closed Doors.

We once knew a bright but
 rather fractious young fellow who carried his mother to an exper- ianc? meeting. When they reached the church they found the doors cosad. Knowing how ardent a Methodist his mother was and real l1lng what disappointment to her to be treated as she was. and feeling that it was an unbearable injustice, he began to try to bet. t'r down the door. Our recol,ec-

KETCHEL HAD SNAP
With HUGH M'GANN

Pittsburg. Pa, May 19.-Six times
last night Hugh McGann was down
for a count of nine seconds in his
six round bout with Stanley Ketchell,
champion middleweight of the world.
Five times in the sixth round he was
saved from a knockout by second.
Twice he was knocked through the
ropes, once clear across thh press
table and into the seats of spectators.
Netchell apparently toyed with his
opponent.
Only the cheering voices of his
champions from the audience inspir-
ed McGann several times to get up
on his feet again after being all but
knocked out. For the first three
rounds McGann fought hard and
landed several times on the cham
pion, but he apparently exhausted
himself in the early rounds and could
not face the powerful blows Of his
antagonist after the first half of the
bout. No decision was permissible
under the Pennsylvania laws. Never
before has so large an audience wit
messed a boxing bout in Pittsburg.
Six thousand persons crowded Du-
quesne Gardens, among them being
men prominent in financial, political
and business circles. Three prelim-
mary bouts were pulled off. Young
Jack O'Brien bested Young Blackall'
both of Pittsburg; Matte McAuliffe,
bested Johnny Conlon, of Pittsburg;
and Jim Perry of Denver had decided
ly the better of Sandy Williams of
Kansas City, each in a three-round
bout.
Prior to the final bout. Toni Caponi
of Chicago appeared in the ring and
issued a challenge to the winner OF
the bout. -----

SAM LANGFORD IS
ANOTHER WALCOTT

Sandy Fergusons ability to hold Sam
Langford to twelve-round draw at
Boston last Tuesday evening caused
some surprise, and / think this is about
the best tribute that could be paid to
Langford, says Malarchy Hogan in
The Chicago Record Herald. He is
really the Joe Waloott OF today. AL
though he scales heavier than the Bar
BADGES colored man, Sam is really only
middleweight The fact hat he is
said to have reached ITO pounds in
his bout of Tuesday does not mean
that he can not get down to the limits
of his own class.
1t is said that Ferguson weighed
fully 200 pounds or more. If this is
The case the esteem In which Langford
is held in fistic way is manifesr.
Langford is built on much the same
lines Of Walcott. l recall one bout
wherin Waicott .-gured with Joe
Choynski. This was Feb. 23. in New
York. Joe was much tine taller OF the
pair and had the edge in weight At
that time Walcott was but little above
the welterweight limit.
Choynski told me that the first inn
preston he received in the bout was Of
Walcott actually leaping up in the air
to land a blow on his chin. The black
man slipped inside the Californians
guard, and as he. was not tall enough
to brace himself for swing at Choyn-
skis jaw, he jumped into the air with
an uppercut The blow was so effec-
tive that the bout was practically over
from the outset. Walcost was credited
with having the ed-e In the seventh
round and the bout was stopped This
was one case where remarkably
light man defeated one whose advant-
age In weight was so far In excess OF
his own that 1t seemed almost impos-
sible that the lighter one could score.

LOOKS LIKE GALLOP
FOR JACK JOHNSON

New York, May 19.-Everything
points to large gathering at the
O'Brien Johnson fight tonight at the
National club of Philadelphia. The
battle will be used as a criterion in
judging Ketchel's chances with the
black, and Johnson's chances with
Jeffries.
In his long list of battles the negro
never showed any inclination to hurry
things, and O'Brien, being a smaller
man and anything but rugged, there
will be little surprise If the bout goes
the full six rounds without even the
semblance of a knockdown
O'Brien has a remote chance of
damaging the black. His hands have
been in poor condition for years, but
his legs, although none too strong,
can carry him at lively pace, and 1t
is possible that Jack will give
pretty exhibition of sparring, as he
did in his memorable go with Ketchel
here in New York.
On dope the affair looks like a GAL
Top for Johnson, but Jack will have TO
tear in and show something to salts
fy the fans, who laud him as the
greatest man in the ring today. Jack
must get close to do any damage, ow-
ing to his short reach, which, by the
way, is almost two inches shorter than
that of Tommy Burns.
1t is hardly expected that O'Brien
will take the aggressive and unless
the negro forces matters the bout may
hang and appear uninteresting.
Jack McGuigan, who will referee
the bout, has instructed both men that
they must break clean, and not stall
in the clinhces. This will help the
bout considerably.

Cobb is just beginning to develop his
1907 and 1908 form, and seems to be
rapidly rounding to- He led the Amer
lean league in batting in 1907 with an
average of $50. In 1908 he was only
passed by Chriss of ST. Louis, who par
ticipated in but 81 games, and who had
accumulated an average of .341. Cobb
was really again the leading batsman
of the season, with an average for 150
games of 1924. In the 1908 worlds
championship series Cobbss batting was
phenomenal with an average of 1858,
although he was unable to accumulate
any of the hits after extra bases, for
which he is usually famous. While his
batting has not yet become phenomenal
the present season his fielding contin-
ues to be perfection and his base rum
ming is still the wonder and admira-
tion OF American league fans. No
greater tribute could be paid to this
batsman than lies in the fact that he
stole two bases on Killing in Chicago
during the worlds championship series
last year. when his whole Detroit team
was able to steal but five bases in five
games.

st. Paul. May 1s.---Anyone of half
a dozen healthy. full grown and re-

the manner in which the Manchester

The official count at the end of the
slaughter stood North Dakota 8,
Manchester 6. The Macs had the game
turned away in the most secluded cor
ner of the ice box for the greater
part of. the contest, but the Flicker
tails, as in the game at Grand Forks,
won out in the ninth.

BOWERMAN ROASTS
The TICKLE FANS

Don't quit so soon. Give the boys o
chance" With these words Frank
Bowerman, the new manager of the
Boston Nationals, justly rebuked some
New York fans who, sitting In the
front row of the grand stand at the
Polo grounds one day last week, had
begun to jeer at the giants before the
fourth inning was over, simply be-
cause Boston had won two games and
appeared to be on the high road to
win another. The baseball-loving pub
lie of New York is tickle, more so, per-
haps, than in any other city, and dis
posed to cry Fraud" when there is
no fraud and to sneer when little
real support would do world of good.
Frank Bowerman, one or the most
popular Players who ever wore New
York uniform, was walking from one
players bench to the other, when he
felt called on to make the apt retort
to some expressions .,eing hurled at
the home team.
1t was characteristic of the man,
who, keen as he was to win, could not
brook the lack of fairness and sports
manship of those who were there, pre-
sumably, to encourage the home team.
AS il turned out, Bowerman's words
were prophetic. The giants did not
quit, even If some OF the crowd had,
and by hard work pulled out victory.
Then came rejoicing, and those who
had reviled were the first to cheer;
but who can say that the cheer when
it did come was any real help? For
tunately this lack of fairness and good
feeling was confined to a few, com
paratively speaking, but unfortunate
ly. those who are disposed to KNOCK"
make the most noise, and consequently
work an injustice on a whole crowd.
Just because the giants are not out
in front leading the race for the Ma
tional league pennant is no reason for
giving up hope of ultimate success, or
of casting disparaging remarks about
McGraw and his men individually and
collectively. The race Is not always
to the swift, and the end is far off
in October. New York has strong
team, and when 1t settles down and
the weather gets warmer, IL is more
than likely to justify the confidence
of it's friends who are expecting, IL
not counting, on the championship. A
better start was looked for, but 1t
must be remembered that the team
has been under more or less of a
handicap from the start. with Nc
Graw nursing an infected finger, and
with one or more of the regulars out
of the game from time to time. The
men have not been batting any too
well, but this does not appear to be
an inherent weakness, as, am con-
fident, will be proved latter. Once the
men get their eye on the ball there
will be a different story to tell, and
while 800 hitters are scarce, there is
not man on the team. barring the
pitchers, who should not bat over
.260, and that will be a majority Of
games. The unfortunate accident to
Seymour in the first inning he played
this year after reinstatement came at
a bad time as his batting might have
helped lot. when good hitting is sad
ly needed.

Chicago. H., May 1s.--The senators
needed ginger; the willy Cantillon
knew the man who could inject the
ginger and landed him. 1t was George
Browne of the Chicago cubs.
So sudden was the Transformation
from cub to senator that the fans
gasped when they discovered him
paving up the dust around the plate
impatiently awaiting the gong. The
deal had been pulled off quietly and
without sound of whistles while
Chance and his regulars were in New
York.
He is full of pep and ginger. He is
gingery by nature and by complexion
and that blue suit that he wore great
ly enhanced his particular style of
beauty.
Manager Cantillon gets the credit
for furnishing his men with what
was needed to iiven them up. But
George Browne, late of the worlds
