Statement of Judge Curtis H. Lindley, spe-
cial counsel for the city:
"It is the intention of the charter that the

Correctionville won Sunday after
Moons game from Norfolk; score to
2.
1t was a pitchers battle. Young
held the visitors down to a zero up
till the first of the eighth with not a
hit against him. 1t was all Norfolk
game till then, when Rice put out a
two-bagger, bringing in two men, tying
the score and saving his team from a
possible shut-out. And another score
in the ninth won the battle.
The features of the game were Buck
masters three-bagger and the fine
catch of Gaspar when he collided with
Page.
All through the game fine team work
on both sides was displayed, with
spicy playing on the part of both
teams.
Although this was one of the finest
games pulled off on the local diamond,
the attendance was very small.

TAFT's BOXING is DENIED.
President Bames Physical Instructor
for Stories of Pugilistic Prowess.

President Blames Physical Instructor
for Stories of PugiIistic Prowess.
Beverly, Mass, Aug. 2l.-President
Taft is angry enough with his physi-
cal culture instructor, DR.. Barker, to
put on the boxing gloves and hand
MIN a knockout punch on the jaw.
The boxing stories which have been
printed broadcast throughout the coun'
try have caused the pre- 7idential
wrath to reach the boiling point and
Barker is blamed for their distribu'
ton.
AS q consequence, the anti-fat man
is doing a tremendous lot of explain
ing and denying, and the harder he
tries to sidestep, the more certain the
president seems to be that 1t is all
his fault.
THE president is not taking boxing
lessons, has never taken them down
here, and in all probability will never
take them in the rest of his life, -
declares Secretary Carpenter in reply
to the avalanche of queries he is re-
ceiving as a result of the pugilistic
gossip.
But the papers have declared he
was almost knocked out by his in
structor," said one of the questioners
well, / can't help what lies are
sent out from this town." cried Car
penter at his wits end. "All there is
to these stories is that the presi-
dent is taking morning exercises regu-
larly under the guidance of physical
instructor He exercises with weights,
dumbbells, Weighing machines and
other gymnasium apparatus. Barker
came to the white house for couple
OF months before the president left
Washington, and his duties here are
no different from what they were
there"
81 never said that the president was
taking boxing lessons" said Barker
today. 81 never said that the presi'
dents weight was this or that. have
never said he would make fine prize
fighter or wrestler, with a little more
practice; | never said any of these
things some of the papers say. 1t is
shame and no wonder the president
is feeling sore about it,
