TO Be KNOWN SOON
The Result of the Jackson
Twp. Liquor Fight.

The result of the tug-of-war which is
being engaged in by the "wets" and
.drys" of Jackson township will be
known the latter part of this month.
From reports it is gathered that the
majority of the business men in Cam
bridge City, which is the principal
town in the township, want the return
of the saloons and that they are
leagued with the wet element. How.
ever, some of the business men believe
that the return of the saloons would
be a detriment to the town and there
fore are listed among the remonstrat,
ors
Up to today the 'drys" lacked eigh-
ty signatures to their remonstrance.
If they expect the county commission
ers to refuse the application of Roy
Fraunberg for a license. Previously ii
was necessary for the "drys" to have
ga but at the last election the vote
dropped off and the difference in the
last vote from the previous election re
duceQ the NUMBER OF reIuoHstTaJOTs
necessary to SGT.
In case Fraunberg, who is the leader
of the vets in the fight, is successful
it is probable that three other licenses
will be granted in Cambridge City
alone, as by the last census the popula
ton was 1900. Dublin will be entitled
| to one saloon and East Germantown to
one saloon in case the township goes
wet"

Al Palzer for the white heavy
weight championship at Los An
geles on New Years day, Is being
touted on the coast as one of the
most remarkable athletes of the
times.
Wonderfully built both for speed
and strength, the fighter is SEEM
ingly adding a rapid development of
headwork that should give him a
loolI-in with any of the big fighters
in the game today.
In his early exhibitions McCarty
showed that he is game. can hit
hard and has some speed, but he
has a plentiful lack of experience
that was distressing to his admir-
ers. Since he went to the coast
he has, however, shown great i'm
provement and had little trouble in
stopping the veteran, Jim Flynn.
Now, hooked up with Al Palzer,
the Iowa bearcat, he will get the
test that will show whether he is
to continue fighting or must beat it
back to the life OF a cowboy at $55
per month.
McCarty has had varied career.
He has been a district messenger
boy. cowboy, farm hand, lumber
pack, deep sea sailor, bill "sticker,"
roustabout, and many and various
other things. OF all the fighters
now in the ring he has had the most
picturesque career.
Luther first saw the light of day
March Il, 1892 on a ranch owned
and operated by his father, 80 miles
outside Of Lincoln, Nebr. Luther
was always outdoors and most of
the time astride a horse.
His mother died when he was
less than two years of age, but it
was not until his father sold the
ranch, in 1901, that Luther struck
out for himself, making his first
stop at the home of relative in
Colorado Springs. Colo. Here he
STAYED for nearly two years, at
tending school, much against his
wishes, as he longed for the open
air life. He had no liking for the
class room and to avoid it took
French leave in the night and
started on life's journey alone-and
penniless. He had not yet reached
his twelfth year. Having been
raised on ranch, he naturally
drifted into the corn fields Of Kan

With the corn-shucking season

THE amazing thing about Jor-
dan is that, despite his long
service (and he played three years
before he joined the Crackers, he
is still growing strong.
Last year was his worst in bat
ting and fielding. But his friends
believe, and with good reason, that
his bad showing was due rather to
the friction that attended his dis
missal by Charley HemphiIl and his
exile from Atlanta than 1t was to
any slowing up due to advanced
age.

THERE are "a thousand interest
ing facts connected with the
record Of Otto Jordan. Among them
are;
That Otto has played in 1882
games in eight years, or an average
Of 1870 games a season. Only once
has he failed to play as many as
124 games a season. One season he
did not miss game.
In the eight seasons Otto has
made $50 hits, III stolen bases and
has batted from POS to .272.
In eight years of service Jordan
has had 6,t99 chances. And out of
all those chances he made but 1872
errors, an average of less than "a
a season.
Jordan's grand fielding average
for the eight years is .971. a mark
probably not surpassed by a score
of second basemen in all basebalPs
history not by men who
