HERO IS WITHOUT A JOB
MseaIs Even From Carnegie Are Not
Legal Tender, says Calvin
c. Williams.

Calvin G. Williams, 81 years old. is
walking the streets Of Washington
looking for work. He carries in the In
side pocket of his threadbare coat. in
velvet lined case. Carnegie hero
medal" a huge bronze medallion, a
beautiful example Of the highest art
OF the goldsmith. and a letter, dated
May 1, 1911. from the Carnegie hero
fund commission, Pittsburg. Pa.
promising him, in addition to the med
al. cash award of $1,000.
Williams, formerly a hotel clerk,
after desperate struggle, saved two
young girls from drowning in Wreck
Pond, at Spring Lake. N. j., on August
7. 1908.
His was a conspicuous example OF
those acts of heroism to reward
which the Carnegie hero fund was es-
tablished. But hero medals are not
passports to employment, when one
has reached the age OF 81, and prom
ies OF $1,000 rewards are not legal
tender for board and lodging" VII
liams said.
Il have been trying in vain to find
something to do" he continued, re-
placing the black leather case in his
breast pocket and carefully buttoning
his worn coat across his chest, ''but
my age is against me. / had planned
to invest my $1,000 in a little restau-
rant, but ] have never received #,
though repeatedly / have written to
the commission pleading for the re-
ward which came to me unsolicited"

One of the most remarkable base
ball games ever played on any univer.
sity diamond was that of last Thurs
day on Boyd field. The Sooners and
Oklahoma "Aggies" battled for twenty
innings with the score of one to one.
The game was finally called on ac-
count of darkness. The contest has
been pronounced one OF the best base
ball exhibitions ever given by amateur
teams. Billings and Courtright. the
premier college twirlers, were pitted
against each other. Billings struck
out twenty men and Courtright fifteen.
Billings allowed but eight hits and
Courtright five. Both pitchers eYinc-
ed marvellous control at all times, kept
the hits well scattered, and neither
showed signs of weakening at any time
during the long ordeal. Neither slab

violent weather. Each carries a
crew of from thirty to forty men, and
the value of ships and cargoes totals
nearly SO, 0 200.
Among the overdue ships are the
Whitman, $3.50 tons, which left
Baltimore for Rotterdam on Novem-
Der 20; the Birchtor. |, 200 tons, which
rassed Newport News on November
25. from Galveston for Dunkirk; the
Snowdsn Range. 5000 tons. which
left Philadelphia on November % for
Leith, and the Barbara, 300 tons,
