Russell Lawson Cannot Live.

Columbia, Feb. 24.-Mr. Russell
Lawson, the 19-year-old boy, of
Greenwood, who was seriously in
jured when his automobile crashed
through the fence at the race track
during an automobile race a week
before Thanksgiving Day, continues
critically i'll in Columbia.
He was carried home several weeks
ago, but was since brought back to
Columbia and placed in the KnoWl-
ton Hospital. Mr.. Lawson's back
bone was broken in the accident and
his suffering is terrible. It requires
at times a grain and a half of NOR
phine to quiet him.
Friends of the young man realize
that he cannot live. He was a daring
driver and was very popular in auto
mobile circles.

thrilled the throng of bridge prone
naders more than did the appearance
of a dashing young blonde on the
great thoroughfare late this after
noon. She was attired in the new

MARQUARD'S GOOD
 WORK PROVES FINE JUDGMENT OF M'GRAW
Giants Manager Stuck to Rube When Knockers
 Were Roasting Southpaw

Another case of Manager McGraw's s fine Judgment is that of Rube Mar quard. This large and awkward southpaw was secured from the In- dianapolis club in the fall of 1908 for s11,O00 in cash, which at that time was the largest sum ever paid for a minor league player, says the Cincin- natl Enquirer The first game he pitched was against the Reds late in September of 1908, in the first game of double-header at the Polo grounds. Rube lasted five innings. The Reds knocked him out of the box hitting him viciously in every in ming, and made him look like a very poor investment. That was nearly three years ago. Since that date Me- Graw has been frequently. criticised for holding on to such a lemon as Marquard, but he kept him and work ed him consistently. For two years the Rube showed little. He could not be used in his regular turn on ac- count of his extreme wildness and his tendency to blow up. He was con- sidered by nearly every critic and manager as an investment of a costly nature and they all thought that Me Graw was just hanging on to him to protect his investment. Scarcely any one thought for a moment that Mar quard was worth half his salary.

won and he has better record 70 date than the sensational young twirler of the league. Grover Alex ander of the PhilIies, McGraw had re- cognized the ability of this awkward and apparently useless young fellow, stuck to him through all kinds of criticism, and today he is reaping the reward of his patience and good judg- ment.
 If the Giants win the penant, as they seem likely to do, it will be the wisdom of McGraw in holding on to Marquard which gives it to them more than any other one thing. Matty has slipped badly this year and is hit hard nearly every time he appears. but Marquard has taken his place as the star twirler of the team. At the same time that the Rube was pur- chased by New York, the New York club also secured Bull Durham, pay ing $6,000 for him. Many who had followed his work in the American association thought that he was much the better of the two. But Durham was released by New York early in the following spring and he has nev- CT done anything notable since. Only last week he was around begging for a job with the Reds, having been re- leased by the Charleston club of the South Atlantic league. Just another case where McGraw knew which one to keep and which one to let go.

Cleveland. Aug. 12.-"Cy" Young. the grand old man Of baseball, declares he owes much of the success he had had to "Chief" Zimmer, who caught him when "Cy," a green countr5 youth, pitched his first game for Clsve- land.

"The thing that stands out most vividly, though, wal the fact that I crossed Chief Zim~ mer in a pinch, handing him a curve ball when he had called for a fast on his bare hand. Then he started to the box.
 CT expected to get a good call-dovns In fact I wouldn't have been surpris< ed if Trimmer had started by swinging his right Here's I was. a green kid pulling off a bonehead that might have laid up one of the leagues sta1 catchers. I'll remember my surprise ts my dying day when Trimmer said:
 ''Now, look here young fellow, you must learn to watch my signs Httle closer. I called for fast one and you gave me a curve. thing nks that might have lost us the game. You're just starting in.

 Surprised, was I? We'll, slightly. And I made up my mind right thers that the finest man God had evef created was my catcher. 'Cnief' Zfs< mer. I don't know that Tv really changed my mind either.

HIS FIRST POEM
James Whitcomb RiIey's Tribute to a
 Deceased Friend

Washington, Aug. 9.- Though countless gifts, usually more notable as curiosities than for their merit, are received at the White House, Sec retary Hilles the other day found in the Presidents mail an offering, of considerable literary value. It was nothing less than a copy of hither- to unpublished poem by James Whit comb Riley, which he himself has said was the first poem he ever wrote. It has been omitted from all collec- tions of Riley's verse, owing to it's purely personal nature.
 The verse is dedicated to Hamilton J. Dunbar, who died in Greenfield, In- diana, September 5, 1876. It is as follows:
 Dead! Dead! Dead!
 We thought him ours alone; And none so proud to see him tread The rounds of fame, and lift his head Where sunlight shone; But now our aching eyes are dim, And look thro' tears in vain for him. Namei Name! Name!
 It was his diadem;
 Nor ever tarnish, taine or shame, Could dim it's lustre; like a flame Reflected in gem,
 He wears it blazing on his brow, Within the courts of Heaven now. Tears, Tears! Tears! Like dews upon the leaf That burst at last from out the years The blossoms of the, trust appears That blooms above the grief; And mother, brother, wife and child Will See it and be reconciled.
 In 1876, according to the letter sent with the copy of the poem, Jas. Whitcomb Riley was 23 years old, and engaged in the occupation of painting signs in his native town of Greenfield. Dunbar was one of It's best beloved citizens Riley knew him we'll, and idolized him.
 Twenty years after Riley told preacher, Rev. Henry A. Butchel, Methodist,
 When the services were over I went home and wrote a poem on Ham Dunbar. It was the first poem I ever wrote and it gave me the idea that after all, I might be something more than a sign-pointer."

Johnny Coulon, bantamweight cham pion, will not be seen in the ring for several months, owing to the death of his father, who had acted as his manager and chief adviser ever since he first started boxing.
 When Freddie Welsh, the English lightweight, and Ad Wolgast meet in bout for the championship of the world in September it will be case of the scientific boxer pitted against the rugged natural fighter. Western critics favor the chances of the title holder They claim Welsh's only hope lies in being able to last the en- tire distance and outpoint his oppo- nent, as Freddie has no punch. Time will definitely decide the question.
 Eddie Dennis, the featherweight champion of the Pacific Coast. will be seen in action at the Brighton Beach A. C. with Billy Galley, the English boxer. who knocked out Dave Dillon on Wednesday night. Dennis is also matched to box Boyo Driscoll and Joe Coster in Brooklyn in week Or so.
 The boxing lid is off in Kenosha, Wis, and Aug. 19 is to see the re- vival of the glove game there, when Phil Schlossberg, the navy champion and Tony Caponi clash in ten-round contest.
 It was first planned to match Schlossberg and Jim Flynn, but the two could not agree. Then Eddie Mc- Goorty was suggested, but a hitch oc- cured there also. Finally Capon1 was brought into the arguments and he was accepted. Steamboat Phil, as Schlossberg is known, has engaged in only one fight before a Chicago crowd, his match with Tim O'Neil at Ham mond, but he established himself then as one of the most dangerous rings ters, ana he will carry quite a follow ing to the Winsocsin town where he clashes with the Italian. He showed that he needed experience, but this he has picked up since that fight, having worked with several good men since, and he should put up an interesting affair with Tony.
 Caponi has fought the best of them, even the great Sam LAhgford, and has stood the test. He isn't a champion, but he can take the gaff and he can deal out a bit of punishment. He stood toe to toe with Papke and a number of others, and is deserving of a place near the top in the middle weight ranks
