Kohler, the Lansing lad who won
the shot at Lansing, is the subject or
much comment. He is only IL years
old, but has all the marks OF an old
athlete. He put the pill 81 feet 3-S

inches more than the record estab-
lished by Horner, the Michigan ath-
lete and former Grand Rapids boy.

KETCHEL AND LANGF0RD TO
MEET IN A LONGER BOUT
Good Fights by Both Men Tuesday
Night Prove They are in
Shape.

NEW YORK, May 1S.--Another
match between Stanley Ketchel and
Sam Langford is being considered
seriously following their respective
fights last night and the fact that
there was so much doubt as TO the
winner when they met recently in
Philadelphia.
Before the members OF the Fair
mount A. c., of this city, Langford cut
Al. Kubiak, well-meaning and rotund
heavyweight TO shreds and the referee
stopped the fight in the second round
to keep Kubiak from being beaten to
death.
In Boston, Ketchel sailed into Porky
Flynn, the Boston heavy and knocked
him out in what was to have been q
twelve-round go.
Flynn, though much taller and 20
pounds heavier than Ketchel, lasted
just three rounds.

The peril OF the left-handers seems
to have been nobiy lived down by n
number OF teams In the American
m-n league. IL was only
sotfrHpaXys a short time ago
NO LONGER that Boston, De-
TERROR. troit and Cleveland
were regarded as
easy marks for any port-side fiinger.
He was expected to saunter over to
the slab, pull his cap over his eye
and then retire them in order. That
was the way that IL sometimes
worked out. One or two other clubs
were susceptible also to lesser ex-
tent.
But the past few weeks have seen
the teams that used to be trimmed by
the heart-side throwers arising in
ers all over the lot. Tuesdays game
Ina Boston was just an example. The
Red Sox did unkind things to our Mr..
Killian. hitting the ball everywhere
except between his artistically curved
knees, while the Tigers likewise made
life a sad thing for Collins. who was
a terror TO us last season.
CHANGING back over the accounts OF
previous games this spring, the same
thing is found often. The port-siders
have been getting decidedly the worst
OF a heavy batting season. Hits have
been more numerous than usual this
year on all pitchers, except In lew
exceptional games. but the southpaws
have Jared worse than their dexter
handed brethren. There are some Of
them who have been winning right
along, Plank, OF the Athletics, being
an example, but II was more because
they are mighty good pitchers than
because their delivery happens to be
from the of side.
Lester Cannell has certainly had a
meteoric career with the Yankees. He

were playing and Immediately inject

that secured him a home without fur

months or so. Perhaps he will be as
good a player when he comes back as
he was during his brief period OF Ell
trance. But II is TO be doubted
whether he can get going at that speed
again this season. The accident is a
distinct loss for a team that needed

Jack Johnson is going to even up

DULY REFUSES
 EXTRA OFFICERS

l. tile Rock, June 3.-Mayor Duley, at the request of the officials of the Iron Mountain, called a special meet ing of the police commission today with the view of increasing the num- Der of patrolmen around the union station After some discussion, the commission decided that it was not ne- cessary, inasmuch as the recent dis turbances could not be traced to the striking machinists. The machinists attending the conference expressed themselves as opposed to the placing of other men at the depot, on the ground that it placed the men in a false light before the community and before the world. They claimed that the members of the union are all good citizens and law abiding, and that there was no necessity for strength ening the force to preserve order among them.

NO OPPOSITION
 10 COL. TAYLOR BERRY DECLINES HONOR
WILL NOT OPPOSE HIS FRIEND COLONEL SAMUEL M.
 TAYLOR.

Little Rock, June 3.-Word was re- ceived in Little Rock this morning from Bentonville that under no cir cumstances would Senator James H.
 Berry enter the contest for perma- nent chairman of the Democratic state convention, which convenes in Little Rock next Tuesday. Several op- ponents of the administration, after hearing that Col. Sam M Taylor of Pine Bluff was the choice of the gov ernor for chairman of the convention, looked around for suitable material with which to oppose Mr. Taylor, with the result that Senator Berry's name was agreed upon. Parties familiar with Senator Berry's record in the po- litical world knew at the time that he would not oppose Mr. Taylor, because the senator any the Pine Bluff attor- ney have been friends of long stand
 ing, and Mr. Taylor has always es- poused Senator Berry's cause. It is also known that MT. Taylor would not enter contest with Senator Berry.
 The program as mapped out several days ago will be carried out, it is be- lieved with the possible exception perhaps, of the secretary of the con- vention. The administration forces will support Tom Campbell of Ran dolph county for secretary, while those opposed to the governor vii present the name of Secretary ot State O. c. Ludwig. No name has yet been mentioned in opposition to Till man B. Parks for temporary presid- ing officer of the convention, and it is believed that he will not have any opposition. MT. Taylor's selection for permanent chairman is also conceded.
 Chairman R. F. Milwee of the state central committee will arrive in Little Rock tonight to take up the details of the opening of the convention.

COUNTS OLDEST
 WOMAN IS 9l SEES COMET SECOND TIME MRS. NANCY M'CRAIG OF NEAR BRISTOL WAS BORN
 IN 1919.

Bristol, June 3.-Mrs. Nancy Me Craig, who lives with her son, William McCraig, two miles north of Ham, monsville and three miles west of Bristol, is probably the oldest person living in White or Faulkner counties. Mrs. McCraig was born January 4, 1919, and is therefore over 91 years of age. She has had the rare privi- lege of twice viewing Haley comet, being a girls of 16 when it appeared in 1885. There has been much more excitement among the people, she says, at this appearance of the comet than there was in 1885.
 Mrs. McCraig was born in Lauder dale county, Alabama, in 1841. Five children were born to her, of whom only one, William McCraig, is living. She has nine grandchildren, 13 great grandchildren, one great-great-grand child living. Among the grandchil- dren living near here are Mrs. Mary Pairet of Romance, Everett McCraig of Hammonsville, Bernice McCraig of Enola and Leonard McCraig of Mt. Vernon. The great-great-gran is the daughter of Arch Vernon.
 Mrs. McCraig came from Alabama to Arkansas in 1874. Her mind is not in the least impaired by her great age, and she talks interestingly of events that occurred 75 or 80 years ago. She like to tell of her exciting experiences with tribes of rowing h. 1 dians in the early days of the republic. The aged woman has had remark ably good health all her life until two or three months ago, but she is quite feeble now. Her eyesight and hear ing, however, are still good. Mrs. Me Craig is a member of the Christian church and has been a faithful Chris ton for over half century.
 Her husband died in 1863, during the civil war. William McCraig, the only living child, is a prosperous farmer.

FINANCE AND COMMERCE

New York, May 5.-Today's stocl. market showed decreases in the influ- ence of the reports of sales of large issues of American securities abroad. which electrified the market yester- day
 The market was buoyant with re- stored confidence. There was appre- hension at first that yesterdays re- ports might have been exaggerated in several points. AS to the amount of sales some of the estimates of which alleged an amount well over hund- red million strained credulity. Late con- firmation of the St. Paul bond sale ani- mated the whole market. One reason for withholding confirmation was that the announcement had been premature leaving the clog-up of negotiations in- complete. Another modification was the absence of knowledge of the terms on which sales were being made. Broad intimations that attractive prices were necessary in order to en- list buying by foreign bankers left open the problem of the final effect of the transactions on the existing issues at current prices.
 New York bankers maintain an atti- tude of some reserve regarding the outlook for money on account of the extended condition of the banks through the country.
 United States Steel was affected by renewed discussion of the old project to list the stock on the Paris Bourse.
 Bonds were irregular Total sales. s2,475,000. United States bonds were unchanged.
