TROUBLE AHEAD
FOR ORANGE TEAM
Waverly A. G., a Star Eleven,
on Schedule for Satur-
day Game Here

Saturday will find Orange battling
with another swift football team, their
schedule calling for the Waverly A. G..
OF Philadelphia. This team is com
posed of most OF the players OF the
team which has several times played
here under the name of West Phila-
delphia Y M. c. A. II is composed
nearly entirely OF Prep School and
college stars. They always gave the
locals a hard run but now that they
have started professional ball they
have strengthened greatly and now
average 10 pounds. One of their play
ers Is from Brown, two from Brown
Prep, and their captain is McClain, a
letter man from Penn State College.
He plays fullback and has a great
knowledge Of the game. They have
defeated both Chester and Haddon-
field by big scores, and last Saturday
Haddonfield defeated the Battleship
Idaho team by the score Of "a to 0. 1t
Is therefore seen that Orange has a
stiff game The locals are practicing
hard for this game as they desire to
defeat some one. instead OF playing
tie games, and think the college stars
would be good ones TO start on.
Orange had hard practice Tuesday
night and will have another workout
tonight Two new men are out for the
team and IL is said that since last Sat
urday several old men have got the
fever and are liable to be seen in Sat
urday's game AS the fans do not
seem to want preliminary games these
have been cut out and the big game
will be called at 3.15 o'clock.

CHICAGO. Oct. 2O--The death Of
Stanley Ketchel at Springfield. Mo,
recently has precipitated the middle
weight championship situation into
more or less Of a muddle. -Four claim
ants to the title stand out prominent
~ and of these three have faced the
former champion in the ring Former
Champion Billy Papke, Of Kewanee,
H., now in Australia; Frank Klaus,
of Pittsburg, Hugo Kelly, Of Chicago
and Leo Houck. Of Lancaster. Pa, are
now in line. Papke claims the distinc-
tion by the fact that he was one Of
the very few that ever beat Ketchel
Papke knocked him out in the twelfth
round OF a bout in Los Angeles two
years ago. This is the one decisive
beating the late champion suffered in
his career. although he was downed
for the count In his battle with Jack
Johnson at Colma, Cal. a year ago.
One Of these claimants for the cham
pionship probably viii be eliminated
when Klaus and Houck meet, as a
bout is being planned between the two
in either a Boston or Philadelphia

lFrom the HlIlshoro sentryl

A new passenger coach for the II. &
N. Z. arrived here Tuesday and was
put into service yesterday morning. The
coach is combination passenger and
baggage car and is nicely finished
throughout.
While running lumber through a
planning machine on Monday, Frank
Jefek had the end of his thumb taken
off. The injury will probably lay him
up for some little time.
Mrs. Roy Moore and two children re-
turned to Viroqua, Monday. She was
called here to attend the funeral of her
uncle, Will Mccoy, at Valley, and re-
manned for short visit with her moth
er, Mrs. Mary Ledman.
A runaway occurred on our streets
which developed in serious affair, and
from the result of which one person
may yet lose his life. John Klevecek' s
team became frightened at a passing
automobile and ran up Main street.
Jerry Moore was knocked down and
run over by both team and wagon and
sustained serious injuries. At least six
of his ribs were broken, as we'll as his
collar bone. Physicians did not have
much hopes of his recovery, owing to
his advanced age, but he is still alive
and it is thought that he may recover.

SINE is ARRESTED BUT ESCAPES
Leaps From Moving Train while EnrOute
to This City

As related in last weeks issue, on
July 4th the home of MIR. and Mrs.
Toilet Siverson, who live a few miles
south of town, was entered and robbed
of $500, two gold rings and other val
tables. The finding on the premises of
an insurance receipt caused suspicion
to be directed toward Ole Slime of At
lantic, Iowa, a nephew of the couple
who were robbed. A warrant was
sworn out, requisition papers secured
and the authorities at the Iowa town
notified to pick up Sine. Evidently
Sine was forewarned by friends, for
when Sheriff Helgeson reached there
the burglar had flown. BY searching
the room of one of Shines friends let
tiers were found disclosing the feet that
he had changed his name to Eo. SAVIOR
and Denver, Colorado, would b. his
home for few days The sheriff at
once made request for new requisition
papers and took a train for Denver.
Here by the aid of the police Sine was
picked up as he was getting his mail
under the name of Ed. Sayior. He adj
mitted his true identity and the fact
that he was the author of the crime.
With his prisoner the sheriff started
on his return journey. He had Slime
handcuffed to train seat. When not
far out of st. Paul he removed the
handcuff from the seat and placed it on
the other hand of the prisoner to allow
him better chance to secure some
rest. Later having occasion to leave
the car, Helgeson asked fellow pas
senger to keep tab on Sine while he
was gone. Returning he found his aid
asleep and Sine missing. Although
the train was in motion he had jumped
from the trap door of a vestibule. This
occurred near Jordan, Minnesota, early
Saturday morning. All that day, aided
by local authorities, the sheriff secured
the vicinity of the daring escape but
could find no trace of his handcuffed
prisoner THAT was). He returned
empty-handed to this city on Sunday.
Nothing has been heard of Sine since,
