Hit Light On Road.

A characteristic Of the road trip
completed is that the Keoknk team
displayed little hitting ability. During
the home series the fans received an
impression that the team was compos-
ed OF sluggerg and timely hitters but
the road trip which resulted rather
disastrously gives evidence Of less
hitting ability The teams always did
hit better at home than on the road,
as the majority OF them do. and an i'm
provement In this line can be looked
for in the next three games. Reichle
continues to keep up his heavy slug
ging and may lead the league.

Battling Nelson won.

At Croffoth's Arena, San Francisco,
CAL, Saturday afternoon Battling Mel
son, of Illinois, knocked out Dick Hy-
land In the twenty-third round Of a
scheduled forty-fIve round bout. The
contest was one Of the most vicious
even seen in the local ring. The fight
was fairly even up to the thirteenth
round, after which Nelson took the
lead, and Hyland was knocked out by
a left hook to the stomach, after he
lslad been floored several times in the
preceding rounds. The men entered
the ring almost together at 1855
o'clock with the betting 10 to 4 in
Nelson's favor.

EARTHQUAKE COMES.
PREDICTION IS TRUE
Shock in Spain Bears Out
the Theory of Dr..
Kinney.

BOSTON, Mass. March Z.-Rep0rts OF
an earthquake shock Of uncertain eX-
tent and damage i'm the province of
Catalonia in the northern part Of Spain,
tend 20 confirm the prediction Of Dr.
EUnice D. Kinney, of l55 Shirley avenue,
Revere. that an earthquake of consid-
cradle magnitude would occur in some
part Of the world within forty-,ight
hours.
DR. Kinney based her prediction on a
certain peculiar appearance of the sky
and horizor fringing the ocean, which.
she declares, has been an Unfailing sign
OF an approaching earthquake during a
period Of person al observation covering
forty years
The phenomenon by which DR.. Kinney
declares she is able tc predict earth
quakes is described as a vapOr that
rises from the ocean and stands out
against the sky on the horizon, not as
fog, cloud or smoke. but as n simmer
ing haze Of varying color Sometimes
1t is thin, sometimes more dense and
dark, but never obscuring the sun In
variably the denser the haze tho more
violent the shock that follows, she says.

After a strenuous battle lasting nearly
twenty years he has just won an i'm
portant victory against the combined
railroads of the West, and has ceased

Kindel is the man who brought before
the Interstate Commerce Commission a
suit against more than a score of the
greatest railroad corporations In the
country and compelled thereby an order
for {, reduction in the Denver freight
rates from all points east Of the MiS-

was won by him practically singIehand-
