At Bantry. N D., he had sister.
It had been a long time since he had
seen ler, SO he thrust his $1,000 in his
pocket and took train for Bantry.
That was the evil moment, says Yor
hanson, when a real estate man got
hold Of him. Yohanson knew nothing
about land; his speciality had been
water, and when the real estate man
began to paint in glowing colors the
life Of farmer, Yohanson felt himself
glowing along with the description.
The upshot of it was Yohanson bought
a farm, a nice fiat farm out in Mon
tana. Having the farm, he also bought
lumber and built him shack Also, he
purchased some cows, some sheep,
some agricultural implements, and
prepared himself for a truly rural life.
Yohanson also dug well. He says
the fact that he dug that well is the
only fortunate experience of the last
six months.
Prairie Fire Comes.
One morning Yohanson heard a fer
rible conmotion outside his shack. ont
he ran, and there was a slerd of wild
horses, tremendously excited. Yohan-
son thought first he would capture all
the wild horses, until he looked arornd
TO discover the cause of their alarm.
Then, coming along behind the wild
horses he espied a wild prairie fire
making straight for him and his farm.
Yohanson did not waste any time.
He jumped down in the well, and did
the best he could to pull the hole in
after. him. After some hours he came
out again, to find that the only thing
remaining of his farm, his cattle, his
sheep, his implements anG his Shack
was the well.

AND HE WILL LABOR
IN THE WORLDS SERIES

Hal Lanigan says In the St Louis
Times:
Up In Chicago, . couple of Satur-
days ago, I was sitting in the press
box at the West Side yard. The Cubs
and Pirates were battling and Mr..
Rigier was the main umpire on the
Job. Harry White, the White Soxs
illustrious southpaw, was in the next
seat. Rigler had his troubles with
both teams right from the start. Ear
ly, a. early a. the third inning. White
remarked: II have seen a lot Of um-
pires, but that man Rigier is the
worst Of the bunch. He's already
missed moro strikes than I ever saw
utssed In Q whole game" National
League umpires. In holding them
selves up a. models. and limiting
strongly that st. Louis Is the tough
est town on the circuit to please,
have oftimes declared that they new
er have any trouble anywhere else.
Rgler was az good as mobbed in
New York little over a month ago
and was the recipient OF the worst
gruelling from the press a big league
arbitrator ever received. Then, the
day In question In Chicago, he was
hissed from first TO last, and at the
end Of the combat was escorted on
the feld by the police.

Any exaggeration of football In

press Is greatly to be deplored. That
1t Is easy to exaggerate was proved
last winter when conservative west.
ern paper gathered from apparently
trustworthy sources a compilation or
fatalities and injuries which. together
made a strong Indictment against the
game as played by our colleges; but
q later and more thorough investiga-
tion not only disclosed unwarranted
exaggeration, but proved that many OF
the accidents and fatalities attributed
to football were due to other causes.
Football is undergoing crucial
test as a sport fit for our colleges and
schools, and. while 1t should be able
to stand the limelight Of truth. 1t

WHY WHIP THE TIGERS
ANY MORE THIS SEASON

A Detroit critic ridicules the all
star" team that Is 10 oppose the Ath-
letics Just before the opening OF the
worlds series and suggests that Con-
ME Mack could learn lot more by
playing with a team made Up largely
OF Detroit Tigers. II is pointed out
that inasmuch as the Tigers have on
two occasions been well whipped by
the Cubs in worlds series they could
tell the Athletics just how the Cubs
go about il when they administer a
thrashing.
But what would be the fun In whip
ping the Tigers any more this sea
son? The Mackmen have taken so
many falls out OF the Tigers that II Is
getting monotonous. They need some
thing new TO keep up the interest.
Anyhow Cobb Is on the "all-star' team
and he should be able to give plenty
Of dope on how the Cubs do IT.

key Mcfarland expects to four-fush

forth the fact that Mcfarland refused
to weigh in and was pounds over

was cinch. He IL best at 130 pounds.
Mcfarland refused to weigh In at all,
despite the fact that 1856 pounds is

As q matter OF fact had Mcfarland

FRANTIC EFFORTS
TO RETAIN MONEY
ALI-srAR BAcKERS FALL FROM UNDER PROMOTES
FLETCHER AND TRY TO CREATE SENTIMENT
AGAINST PLAYERS cASHING THOSE
$500 CHECKS

In this al-star. tour, one finds that II Is
made up OF men whose work has done
much 10 improve the high standard OF
base ball as the national sport during
the past few wears. No word OF sus-
picion as TO tneir honesty as players
at any time has ever been breathed
against them. They have not only
been OF monumental assistance TO
their respective teams. but their hon
est efforts and magnificent results on
the field have been inspirations TO the
rising generations Of baseball players
who pick models and try to copy
them a. closely a. possible. II Is
not reasonable TO suppose that these
men. honored by the followers OF the
game and idonzed by the young play
ers now making their way to the top,
would destroy their high standing
with the vast American public and
the members of their own profession
by stopping to take advantage OF
technicality In order to add few
dollars to their assets.
There Ia no honest argument In fav-
or OF these players retaining the
checks that were given them-no
foundation upon which they can base
q claim for the money that was TO
have been paid them had the tour not
been called on by the national COM
mission as being contrary to the laws
of organized baseball.
Livingston and Wtlbern are ready
even now to carry out their end or
the agreement into which they enter
ca with the playerA provided the con-
sent Of the national commission can
be secured.
There In every reason to believe
that the players are being urged to
report here In Cincinnati ON the day
originally set for the beginning Of the
all-star tour, and thGt Fletcher. who
originally plannsd the enterprise. is
advising them to have their checks
Dashed as soon a. they arrive and are
informed that the games viii not be
played.
It u plain that Tletcher's attitude In
the matter n that Of q man seeking
self-gain, for thsre could be no other
object in his persistent agitation OF
the alleged rights Of the players In
the case. unless II was to benedt him.
The future Of these players, % Tar as
organized baseball is concerned, evi-
denkly = of no moment to Fletcher.

COBB PLIERS HOME
DON'T FORGET M0HARTY

Ty Cobb stole home n We'd
nesday's finale and gret credit
should attach both TO aim and
to George Mortarty. Without
detracting any from Obb's per-
formance, the chances are that
he would have been ttired but
for the efforts In hisbehalf by
Moriarty. Having pofited ex-
tensively by similar work on
the part OF his fellws Morry
came through with the stutr
that baffled the Mas defense.
In the third inning Cobb took
a good lead and hied for the
plate. Moriarty stod still in
the batter's box, efusing TO
bulge an inch. Cbo slid on
the inside and L,nd had ~
reach around Mortrty to put
the ball on. BY tie LINE that
was accomplished Cobb bad
crossed the plate In safety. The
throw from the pitcher was
there in time to get Cobb IL
Morry hadn't held his ground.
II was a well executed play
both on the part o. Cobb and by
Moriarty.
