Nursing As a Career.

1t IS said that nursing is one of the most inviting fields of human service and that its financial re- turn surpasses any other occupa- ton open to young women.

Room, board, laundering incidental expenses, special financial assistance and railroad fare home on completion of the Course, are provided. Length of course two years. Al so a Special Short Course and q home Study Course for tose who must quickly prepare for self-sup port.
 The Philadelphia School for Nurses is a benevolent institution conducted without hope of gain or profit in the interest of ambi- tious young women.

scrapper, who is known as the Pitts
burg Bear Cat, in the sixth round of
a scheduled ten-session tilt in New
York last night. Three times McMa-
hon hit McKinnon below the belt and
got away with it. The fourth time
that Mcmahon punched the Bostonian
in the groin Patsy Haley the referee,
disqualified him. Haley, however, did
not take action till McKinnon was
grovelling in agony on the floor from
McMahon's foul punch.
Early in the sixth round Mcmahon

to hurl a chair through the ropes at
the referee. Theman was restrained.
While McKinnon was writhing on the
floor Haley waved Mcmahon to his
corner.
Though each of the foul blows plain

ESPECIAL to The FarmerA

Holyoke, May 6-With the score 5
to 1 against them in the eighth, the
Bridgeport warriors waded in and tied
Holyoke yesterday and finally after
an uphill battle won out over the Pa
permakers in the 18th stanza by 6 to
s. 1t was a thrilling battle and only
the gameness of the Mechanics in
sticking to the enemy game them the
final decision. 1t was Hi Ladds two
base smash in the 18th with two out
and Litschi on second that sent the
winning run over.
Uppy Upham twirled for Bridgeport
until to the seventh when Cy Miller
was put in to bat for him. Cy struck
out. Upham had been twirling in good
form. He had allowed seven hits
and three runs. Chief Snyder replac-
ed Uppy and held the Papermarkers
down to two runs and four hits for
the remainder Of the game. Powers,
the Holyoke twirler, gave IL hits.
In Bridgeport's half of the eighth,
with two out and two men on, the
score to 1 in favor of Holyoke, and
the cards all pointing to a Pulpite
victory, Murray, who makes the grass
turn brown in center field, dropped a
liner that Eley obligingly placed in
his hands, and the two base-runners
were over the rubber for a tie.
The Bridgeport stickers were led by
Hi Laid, who d1SprOVed DIR. OSler'S
theory by mailing out three safe ones
in six times up, and one of them was
the double that closed the scoring. Lit
schi was there with a homer over the
left field boards in the 18th that scOr-
ed Eley ahead of him and made the
HolyOke outlook sad for a short while.
In the first inning Duggans hit for
two bags looked good as a starter,
but the next two men were easy outs.
and Eley nailed Duggan at the plate
when he attempted to score from
the halfway station on Murray's sin
gle past short. In the second, after
two had been disposed of a brace Of
errors and a single by Powers brought
James home with the first tally of the
game but in the third Bridgeport tied
1t up on q pass, sacrifice, a steal
and a single by Upham.
In the fifth Baxter was passed, went
to second on a sacrifice by Powers,
and counted by fast work on Dug
gan's single over second. Another

Priest Discovered
Comiskey as Ball Player
President of White Sox Was
Student in College Then

When President Ban Johnson of the
American league, and President Com
iskey of the Chicago American league
club, visited Excelsior Springs, Mo-,
they were greeted with this exclama-
ton: Columbus discovered America,
but I discovered Comiskey.'' The
greeting was from Father j. E Eng
lish, a priest of the Omaha diocese,
who was guest at the health resort
Pressed for an explanation, Father
English said that in 1874, he and Com
iskey were students at the Christian
Brother College at Prairie du Chen,
Wisconsin.
English was a senior and manager
of the ball team. Comiskey, the son
of a Chicago Alderman, was an under
class man. The college team was
contemplating a trip and was short
on pitchers. One day Manager Eng
lish was attracted by the pitching of
the Chicago lad, who delivered a slow
curved ball. a puzzle in those days.
1t was the first curved ball seen on
the college grounds. The manager
decided to take Comiskey on the trip,
much to the delight Of the young
pitcher. That was Comiskey's start
in baseball.

AL KAUFMAN
KNOCKED OUT
BY jim FLYNN
Californian Foored Eight
Times by Smuggling Pu-
eblo Fireman

Kansas City, Mo-, May with
hard right swing to the Jaw, Jim Flynn
of Peublo, Col, knocked out big Al
Kaufman of San Francisco in the
tenth round Of their fight here last
night.
Never before in his career had
Kaufman suffered such punishment.
Eight times Flynn floored him. Three
times the giant California took the
count of nine and after each knock
down saved himself from an immedi-
ate knockout by clinching with his
opponent and holding on.
When the knockout finally occurred
a minute before the fight was sched-
uled to end, Kaufman was a pitable
sight. Blood streamed from his left
eye which had been closed in the
third round and from his mouth. His
face was a mass of bruises. Other
than a badly swollen face due to
Kaufman's left jabs, Flynn apparently
was unhurt.
Flynn fought in his usual bull dog
style. rushing Kaufman at every OPP
portunity. With lowered head the
former fireman would charge his tall
er and heavier opponent, swinging
rights and 1efts to Kaufman's head.

BRONCO BUSTERS
WITH WILD WEST

The bronco busters with the 101
Ranch Wild West are class of brave
and hardy cowboys whose specially is
subduing the equine desperadoes Of
the plains. Busting horses is their
trade. A bucking western horse can
seldom be permanently cured. His
grudge against man grows with each
ordeal of mastery. The most sue
cessful of the men on the 101 Ranch
at Bliss, Okla, rarely last more than q
few years in the desperate daily bal
ties with the brutes.
Sometimes their lungs are torn
loose by the violent joltings of the
wild beasts. Falls and bites are ac-
cepted as matter of course. A BRO
ken leg or arm is a slight calamity,
taken philosophically with the feeling
that it might have been much worse
Horses have been killed in the process
and the buster" has been etimes
the victim.
The struggles between man and
horse are always of a quality to make
the heart of the spectator still in eX-
element Yet the cowboys go about
steadily and methodically, probably
with no thought that they are doing
anything extraordinary, for they have
never done anything else.
Expert equestrians as are the Co.'S
sacks, Indians and Mexicans. with the
big frontier show which will be
here on Wednesday, May 10, hey
will take no chance with the bucking
horses.

the big mitt with all the old dexterity
that made him one of the best back

which is a fair record for a catcher,
and 125 pitched balls a game, Sugden
caught at least PIP, 500 pitched balls in
regular games. Then there is the i'm

figuring out just how many balls Joe
Sugden had stopped in his career as
a professional baseball player. Oscar
Stanage, with paper and pencil, fig
ured out that the number of received
balls would total 1000. 900 or more. Old
Joe himself said he had no idea how
many balls he had stopped, but he said
he guessed he caught a ball lot full Of
