OF NORTHWEST LEAGUE

| Charlie, Cal, Jack the youngest, and
Jeff, and then Lilly, the sister.
Jeff's mother and father were both
big people, and all Of the boys
were big. At four years of age
Jeff was as big as a boy of seven,
and he was mighty strong little
fellow.
HE liked rough play and appar-
emily nothing could hurt him. OF
course he was so young that no
one paid much attention to him, but
he wasn't the kind to have himself
overlooked any. He was just
normal, healthy boy, fond of play
ing like other kids around here and
stronger than the average.
fore they left the old man was con-
verified in the Mt. Carmel church.
The family moved to California,
where the father began preaching.
The last night they were here they
stayed at our house, and the whole
family was vaccinated. l remember
Jeff didn't like the vaccination
little bit, but old DR.. Aldard
scratched his arm the same as the
Others"
Then Kistler rambled from Jeff
to tell about Jack, the youngest
member of the Jeffries family, who
is now training with his famous
brotherS Jack returned to Carroll
for a visit after the Jeffries had
lived i'll California several years,
and he told wild tales, so Kistler
says. about killing tarantulas. The
Carroll boys got tired of hearing of
young Jacks bravery, so they
steered him up against a bees nest,
with results painful to Jack.
"But he didn't tell us any more
about tarantulas," Kistler conclud-
ed, chuckling.
After Jeff won the champion
ship by whipping Fitzsimmons, he
returned to Carroll for a visit
Jim Smith, the Carroll barber, re-
members the visit well, but he
don't like to talk about it. Kis-
tier tells the story.
Jeff wanted shave" Kistler
says, land he went into Jim
Smiths shop, climbed into the
chair and told Jim to get busy.
Now Jim don't usually get rat
tied, but he did this time. Every
man in the town who was around
crowded into the shop to see Car
rolls most famous citizen shaved,
and Smith was nervous. He made
two or three blind attempts to
strop the razor, gave 1t up, and
finally Jeff shaved himself"
Down here they think Mrs. JEFF
fries is the sweetest and prettiest
little woman in the world. She
visited here last winter when Jeff
was touring the country, and they
are still talking about her. Maybe

climbed off the high stool on
which he was sitting when l wan
dered into the bank and put the
question to him, lowered his right
hand down to level with his knee,
and repeated:
Eyes, sir, l knew Jeff when he
was that high and when he wasn't
quite so high as that that. You see,
l am Jeff's cousin, and was his
playmate when we were kids"
The impresarios who are send
ing the glowing news from the
mountains of the Pacific coast,
where Jeffries is training for his
fight with Johnson, send pitiful
tales back, telling how awfully hard
it is to get Jeff to talk. But why
should Jeff talk? He has Jim Cor
bett and Sam Berger, two of the
greatest long distance orators in the
country, with him, so maybe Jeff
can talk but just don't want to.
At any rate, judging from Kistler,
| would not say that inability to
talk is family failing. Kistler
talked long and he talked mighty
Interestingly about Jeff and Jeff's
early days around this little town.
Jeff was born about two miles
out this road here" Kistler said,
walking to the door of the bank and
pointing out along the road which
runs north from the village, land
he was at my house as often as he
was at his own home.
But before we talk any further
I want to tell you that Jeff never
attended school here. You see"
Kistler added, this is to be true
tale, so I'll begin it by telling you
that Jeff was about five years old
when his family moved from this
city. So, of course. he didn't have
a chance to attend the little red
school house just over the hill, and
sticking still closely to facts, l will
say there isn't any little red school

Of the car on which l went to Car
roll from Columbus told me that

been making pilgrimages to his
birthplace. The natives Of Carroll
verified this.

native town, never Jim or James.

NO POSTPONED
GAME PLAYED
THIS WEEK

1t is doubtful from all present in
dications If the game between the
Indians and the Tigers, postponed
yesterday an account of rain, will
be made up here this week. 1t was
at first thought that a double header
would be played Sunday, but late
last night it was practically decided
that such would prove too hard on
the players just before their all
night trip to the coast.
After this week, the team leaves
the city for two weeks, during
which time there will be no North
western league games played here.
The same pitchers who started the
game yesterday will likly officiate
on the slab in today's game, and
Bonner will most likely be reserved
for the Sunday game.

Ladies' Day
Game Here

Old Jupiter Pluvius mixed a lit

fans out at Recreation park yes.
terday afternoon, when he chased
the Tigers and Indians to their
benches-in out of the wet. The
score stood to 2. The first half
of the third inning had been played
and Fred Weed, midst "pitter pat.
ter chorus from the hands of the
multitude of "fanesses," stalked to
the box to kill the pill. The UNI.
pire had called two strikes and one
ball on him when big drop of
rain hit his jumps between the eyes
and he howled, "Time!"
For a full half hour, as per regu-
1ations in well regulated baseball,
they waited-cars. fans and play
ers, no one more anxious to call it
Off than the street car men. and
none yearning more to stay than
the ladies'. 1t was a good. life-sized
shower, though, and lasted till long
after the whole bunch was back to
town, and it is up to the ladies to
wait for another Thursday.
This is but the second time in
five years that a game has been
called on the Spokane grounds on
account of rain. Over in Tacoma
and Seattle, they say it can't rain
enough to chase the players in for
the y get so accustomed to wetness
over there.
The rain checks issued yesterday
that is the few that were-are
good only for today and tomorrow,
not for Sunday. There are signs
posted o nthe gates to the big ball
grounds which read: "No rain
checks after four innings"
Less than four innings were
played yesterday, but only few
got their rain checks. OF course,
as the ladies were admitted free
they We're not entitled to rain
check Some of the male fans
skipped for the cars with never a
thught of mailing check, as Joe
Cohn and his officials at the gates
had closed their office and
"ducked to an obscure place in out
of the wet. After handing out Il
handful of the slips, he was per
fectly safe from further annoyance.
