DURANGO. Col, Oct 1s.-The big.
Eest Indian event in years ends on
the Navajo reservation at Shiprock,
IN NJ. when 10000 Navajo Indians
will participate in the little known
fre dance. The occasion will be the
big Indian fair.
The dance Is given only once In ten
years and many Of the Indians are un
acquainted with II. Few white people
have seen the dance and those who
hSye know little regarding its mys-
tsries.
The Indians have been planning for
months for this event. They raised

at Shiprock with his aides from the
vest end OF the reservation In Ari-

corral to hold the 10000 Indians who

strfction Of the corral was hauled ten

done at night and Immediately after

Much Indian magic is supposed to
be used ip the dance. the participants
setting forth che idea that they are
being burned with fire. They are also
supposed to have other hair-raising
stunts
Hundreds OF Indians from all Sec
tions OF the big reservation came to
Shiprock for the event. Even the
most isolated and little known sec
ton were represented in the dance.
For time Superintendent Shelton. OF
the reservation. thought II advisable
to get an airship or two to entertain
| the Indians and white people during
the fair, but abandoned the idea when
advised by the Indians that they
would rather take part In the fire
dance.
The Navajos have long been known
as the most industrious Indians the
government has to deal with, and
their industry will be exemplified dur
ing the fair. Indian bucks will be
seen sandpainting and silversmithing.
The squaws will weave blankets and
in the agency building will be dis
played agricultural products grown

SHECKARD MAY
 TAKE CHANGES
 JOB AS MANAGER

Jimmy Sheckard, veteran Chicago outfielder. is slated to step into Man ager Chances shoes next season.
 Men who play with their heads as we'll as their hands have proved that it is possible to stay long time in professional baseball. There are sew era1 men still very much in the game who may yet break or at least equal Cy Young,s record. They are not, however, pitchers. James Tilden Shechard is one of the veterans in whom the baseball public is very much interested. Jimmy broke into the game as far back as 1895, when he played with the Marietta and LancasA ter semi professional teams Thence he moved to Portsmouth, Va, going in the following year to Brockton in New England.
 Brooklyn corralled him next and after one year with Baltimore he went back across, the bridge again. Toward the close of his season with the Brook lyn team Sheckard's work fell off, and there were those who said that he was shirking. He spruced up promptly when he went to Chicago. Sheckard was never happy in Brooklyn and wac glad to get away.
 There is great deal of baseball left

DEFY. JOHNSON SIGN JENNINGS
 FOR TWO YEARS

Detroit, Aug. S.-Manager Hughie Jennings. of the Tigers, at noon yes terday signed a contract for two more years in his present job.
 HuShie generally postpones signing his new contract until about the tin1e he starts South in the Spring. But yesterday story came from New York, supposed to be inspired by Ban Johnson, that Jennings was to uA driven out of the league because of certain sympathy he displayed with his players in the famous strike" in Philadelphia last May. The yarn had him already linked tip with the Bos- ton Nationals, with a fat contract and large block of stock
 It is estimated that President John- son, when he rushed to Philadelphia to try to find means to end the strike, ordered President Navin to fire Man ager Jennings. When President Nav in read the New Ydrk story he made up his mind to put an end to such reports for keeps. So he had a few minutes conference with Hugi1ie, drew up q contract and HuEhie sign- ed 1t without even moments hesi- tation or argument. In View of the source of the New York story, this is regarded here as a defiance of Ban Johnson's continued attempts to act the czar in baseball. Messrs. Navfn and Yawkey are not the sort of men who are accustomed to take dictation from others in their business affairs. They have decided that Manager Jen- nlngs shall not be kicked out of the American League.
 BaH Johnson's antipatly toward Jennings dates far back of the strike. lie was opposed to Jennings coming Into the American League, and has been unfr1endly to the Detroit club ever since Jennings became manager.

THREE MORE OLYMPIC
 STARS ARE BACK HOME

Three Olympic heroes returned last night on the Oceanic, F. W. Kelley of Orange, Cal, who won the 110-meter hurdles; A. w. Richards of Utah, win- ner of the high jump, and James Thorpe, the Indian, winner of seven teen events of the decathlon, in which he was 800 points ahead of his nearest competitor, and of the Pentathlon, making him the champion athlete of the world.
 Thorpe was presented to the King of Sweden, receiving the royal con- gratulations. All the biz fellows were modest, quiet chaps aboard ships and man and woman shy. Thorpe came across thes bridge from the ship jug eling about 200 pounds of luggage, while Richards had three pieces.

CHANGE PICKS
 SENATORS TO
 DEFEAT RED SOX

! Philadelphia, Aug. s.--Frank Chance declared here that he will close his career in baseball this year with an- other pennant for the Cubs and that his pennant will be the worlds cham pionship one. The fight will be be- tween the Cubs and Senators, he said.
 '''All that the Giants ever had was their pitchers" he said and they haven't got them any more. Unless half the Cubs get in jail or are mur- dered we will win the National League pennant.
 Washington looks to me like cer- tain winner in the American League race. They are playing far more con- sistent ball than Boston and in John son they have one of the greatest pitchers in the game The Red Sox are likely to go to pieces at any time but there is no reason why the Sen- ators should not keep their present pace. until the end of the season.

a righthander and has won s15 out of hts last 16 games. Down Dallas way they call him Old Doc, Jr., chief ly because he does more CrandallinS for the Dallas club than anything else. He has finished and saved more unhealthy looking games than any other pitcher in the Texas League.
 F'echtenbach has him all disposed of, and is now trying to persuade Me- Graw that he'll make the mistage of his nagerial career if he doesn' t recall Evan Evans, a lengthy south paw, who trained at Marlin with the boys last spring. Up to three weeks ago, when Fechtenbach left Texas, Evans had won eighteen out of twen- ty-five games and was still going strong. A couple of days ago he shut out San Antonio, the hardest hitting club in the league, with four hits.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1912-08-08

The fine fielding of Fletcher, Her zog and Doyle has been one of the features of the recent games.
 The Athletics are now but four full games behind Washington. Connae Mack refuses to consider ms team out of the race and the Philadelphia fans are inclined to agree with him. The worlds champions have vet eran aggregation, which may be de- pended upon to make a strong hnlsn.
 George stallings, Hughey Jennings and Jake Daubert have all been men toned as possible managers for the Brooklyn team next year. The hrst two have the advantage Of experience which is a big item in leading a ball club. Cleveland, Cincinnati and the Boston Nationals are all led by men new to a managerial position this season and not one of the three IS in the race. Chase proved conciu- sively that a great player sometimes makes a poor leader.
 There were eight home runs made on the Polo Grounds last week: or these Merkle got two and Doyle, Becker, Murray, Bescher, Marsans the first circuit c1out of the present week just nine ninutues after the opening of the game on Monday. Crandall and Doyle made good tries for four-base hits Tuesday.
 An, well! Nate Fechtenbach is having a good time of it if nobody else connected with the New York Club is. Nate is secretary of the Dallas Club, of the Texas State Lea que, and McGraW's special agent in that country. Every year he comes to New York about this time and gen. >erally succeeds in selling a few ball players to the Giants. Now and then one of them makes good.
 So far Nate has slipped McGraW one pitcher and rather expects to pass on another One Bader, first ac- quired for Fall delivery, has since been ordered to report to McGraw al St. Louis on August IS.

Young Jack O'Brien. the 18-year-old brother of Philadelphia Jack, bit off more than he could chew when he tackled Leach Cross of the East Side in the St. Nicholas A. C., New York. last night. The largest crowd that ever packed the old fee rink saw the clever young Quaker get a trimming but admired his gameness and style of milling. Cross was too tough and strong and carried too much of kick TOT the youngest scion of the fighting Hagan family.
 O'Brien was built on springs. how ever and possessed so much of his brothers speed, science and skill that at times he bewildered the fighting dentist. Cross beat down the young ster's defense and robbed him of mucl, of his speed before the bout had gone many rounds. O'Brien flashed last- round rally that made Cross look cneap, but it was too late to turn the tide.
 In the other ten-round bouts, Phil Cross outpointed Johnny Lore and Johnny Dundee won from Patsy Kline. The Dundee-Kli1e bout was a corker. with the two boys battling like same. cocks all the way.
 The rink was damned to it's utmost capacity when O'Brien and Cross crawled through the ropes. Thousa nds were turned away at the doors and the streets for blocks around were crowded with disappointed fight fans. The annouHcer did not make known the correct weights of oBrien and Cross, simply saying that both men weighed in under 135 pounds. Cross appeared 10 have several pounds the advantage spf the weights.
