NOTES
SOX DOWN NEW YORK
IN FINAL CONTEST, 81
Duffy's Men Score Early on
Highlanders and Close
Trip With Victory.

New York, May 27.-Walsh won the
maj game of the eastern trip for the
white sox, taking the last contest of
the series with the highlanders by the
score OF to 1. The weather man ffg-
ured in the game more than he usually
does A heavy shower OF rain fell Just
after the sixth inning was finished and
prevented the contest for a period of
twenty minutes, and there was no
more chance for anyone to score when
the game was continued, as the grounds
were so heavy that base running was
out of the question.
The victory yesterday was the third
one OF the trip and saved the Chicago
men from shutout for the series Out
or the four games played with the local
men the sox got one victory and one
tie

kETCHELL WINS
IN ONE MINUTE
Right Hook to Jaw Ends
Lewis Dream of the
Championship.

New York, May 28.-WilIie Lewis
made the mistake of his fighting ca
reer early in the second round of his
bout with Stanley Ketchel at the Ma
tional Sporting club last night. He
kidded himself into the belief that IL
was safe for him to swap punches with
the middleweight champion. Then his
seconds had to carry the Lewis bow to
his corner and work over him some FIVE
minutes before he recovered conscious
ness.
snappy right hook flush on the
point of the jaw terminated the fracas
During the first period few blows had
started, and the fingers of one hand
would suffice to count the number that
landed. Willie jabbed faint heartedly
with his left couple of times. and
then rushed into clinch, where he
held on with viselike grip. Ketchel
needed no assistance from the referee
to shake Lwis off, but Willie came
right back again for the holding stunt,
and the round was tame and unsatis-
factory.
During the intermission Dan McKet-
rick whispered into Willies ear that
Ketchel could not hurt him; that the
Michigan lion had lost his punch, and
here was the chance to make the name
of Lewis famous. Willie gave heed;
hence the fatal error.
After landing smart left on the
face that shook Ketchel to his heels,
Lewis discarded his caution He whip
ped over right that grazed the chin
What Lewis forgot was that Ketchel
has to take couple of stingers before
he remembers that he is in a fight.
As soon as Stanley discovered the
lay of the land he woke up. A left
swing with kick in it missed Lewis
head by the fraction of an inch, but the
right hook that followed fell full on
the jaw. Lewis crumpled up rather
than fell to the canvas, turning COM
pletely around as he collapsed
AS he lay on his back with arms
outstretched Referee O'Rourke made
sort of pretense of counting him out,
but hesitated at five" and bent over
the inert form. Then he motioned for
the seconds and they bore Willie to
his corner

With the Amateurs
on the Diamond
Praying for Good Weather

Be careful Mr.. Comet, with that lon
tail. and don't do anything that viii
result in the postponement of the two
games scheduled with the Orions and
Royal Stars of Chicago. to be played
with the local boys at the Hammond
Athletic associat ton ball park on Sun
day and Monday.
PROVIDING there is nothing like heavy
rain In the region on Sunday or Mon
day, the two games will be PLAYED. The
Orions, who have been successful in
defeating the Tom Murrays and other
strong semi-pro teams this season. will
be here Sunday. The coIored aggrega-
ton will be the bill for Decora ton
day.
Probably the most fitting attraction
in Hammond on Decoration day will
be the contest between the Royal Stars
of Chicago and the local boys The
citizens of Hammond will not be forced
to leave town for some amusement park
or resort to spend the day, for just as
good an attraction can be seen at the
H A. A. grounds. To see a colored
nine perform a baseball diamond is
something that local men have long
looked for. and every seat in the park
is expected to be occupied.
The fans are satisfied with the team
that Hammond has, and it is not only
known in this region but they are also
recognized as one Of the best semi
pro teams in Chica go. Manager Ketch-
ell has made a remarkable success with
the team and the games he has ar
ranged for the local park are the best
that be secured.
Last night the team formerly known
as the st. Joseph club was purchased
by the H A A. and will be known as
the second team. The team will be
strengthened considerably new bat

the infeld are as good as any Of the
amateurs. Frank Baker was chosen
manager of the second team, but Ketch-
ell will see to getting games for the
team. 1t is thought that they Will plav
most of their games out of town. Later
in the season the team will plav home
games before the big contest begins.

Williams news., 1910-06-04

THE NEWS does not believe the better class of the business men of Flagstaff will stand for such abuse of Williams as appeared in the Democrat last week. As to the private correspondence that passed between the base ball managers" no one in Williams ever heard of it before, and it shows bad faith on the part of the Flagstaff manager" to publish it year after the alleged correspondence is supposed to have taken place. A little investigation on the part of the editor of the Democrat would soon convince him that the least said about that base ball game the better it will be for all. and drop the hard talk about the matter.
Williams news., 1910-06-04

WILLIAMS big Fourth of July eel ebration is going to be a hummer, and the money to help along is coming in nicely. The program of sports will be a good one-horse racing, base ball, foot races, etc., all of high class. Several of the best horses in northern Arizona will be here. including the crack racers from Flagstaff. Quite a number of the leading business men of the county seat have notified the chairman of the celebration com mittee here that they will leave nothing undone to make the event success. They are the kind of business men who believe in keep ing their word, and Williams can depend upon them.

It is an assured fact now that the old 'hoss" is going have the new saddle; and he is. going to look good in his new attire, too. Why. he doesn't look bad considering the heavy loads he has pulled through political campaigns. He has been promised oats for his services many times, but when the oats was being passed somehow or other-not in: tentionally of course-the old 'hoss' was forgotten. Now, is it not cruel for the nags that have been eating all the oats from the county crib to say that he won't look good with a new saddle? It is not only cruel, but it shows the lack of good 'hoss' sense.
Williams news., 1910-06-04

IT certainly was news to the busi- ness men of Williams in particular and our citizens in general, to learn from the Flagstaff Democrat that base ball manager" stopped us from celebrating on the Fourth of July last year. The citizens of Williams believe in keeping a prom ise when once given, and cannot be forced into breaking that promise by a few disgruntled individuals who imagine they can make few dollars by celebrating this year, a large force of men at work near that town.

HOW ADVERTISING
 WAS MADE TO PAY

In one of the small eastern cities the leading department store had daily receipts of $2O,OOO during the holiday rush.
 The owner of this store was only a few years ago plodding the coun try roads with pack upon his back selling yankee notions.
 He made little. but, in propor- tion to his earnings, saved much and one day he hazzarded begin ming as a storekeeper in the city where he is now located.
 There he got along at snail's pace until persistent friend who solicited advertising for a daily newspaper had an inspiration. the result of which was that he offered to give the small merchant bit of newspaper space free of charge, if after using it. the merchant found that advertising did not pay.
 The offer was accepted, line of cIoaks at bargain prices were chosen for the test, and the advertisement was printed in the newspaper.
 The effect was electrical. The stock of cloaks was closed out to the last garment within 24 hours, and great light dawned on the erst- while pack merchant.
 With his new knowledge he quick ened his pace. business grew and be became as great as his competitors. In what seemed to be the height of his prosperity a fire wiped him out, but instead of breaking his spirit it only gave him a new start and better opportunity.
 Some of his competitors of today were in college when the packman was driving bargains in farmhouse kitchens.
 That was his college-the college of life. It is a mistake to assume that one may not be we'll prepared there.

THE glorious land of sunshine scored again during the transit of Halley's comet. The astronomers sat up all night on Mount Wilson and saw about as much of it as person in Williams would see from 8 cellar. The usual unusual" fog and clouds obscured it of course. Those fellows have read the "sun. shine" rot in the Los Angeles papers so often they believe it. The as- tronomers see stars once in a while there when they fall down stairs in the fog.
