GOLD
By Sack Full Found 10 An
Old House at Mansfield

Mansfield, o., August 26--Seven
shot sacks, filled with gold, were
found in the cornice Of the old Dan.
lei Freeman farm, north Of Mansfield,
by carpenters who were working on
the house.
All the coins bear old dates, and
the exact amount contained In the
sacks has not been ascertained, al.
though II will run into thousands.
How the gold was hidden in such
an unusual place is mystery. as
there was an opening only large
enough to get child's hand through.
The elder Freenians are believed to
have put II there years ago
There is a tradition that when Mrs.
Freeman died several sacks of gold
were found in out-of-the-way place in
the house, and It is probable that she
hid this treasure In the cornice and
died without telling the heirs where
she had placed 1t.

Consolation Singles Drawn
And Matches Start
Soon

Before the largest crowd yet gather.
ed at the Knox county tennis tourna.
ment, Kenneth Adams defeated Allen
Sapp In the first division semi.finals
Saturday afternoon at the Round Hill
court
1t was hard fought match. Adams
started out in the first set and gave as
pretty an exhibition Of tennis playing
as has ever been seen on local courts.
There was but one thing that detract.
ed from the excellence of his play and
that was his serving of doubles three
times in succession right at the very
outset. He had Sapp completely at his
mercy and the latter only succeeded in
getting three games in the set, Adams
winning 6-3.
Sapp then took decided brace and
started in using "chop" stroke. This
was very effective as Adams did not
seem able to cope with this particular
kind of return and lost out by the
same score he had won the first set.
The third set then developed into a
fight to the finish, as 1t were.
Sapp, unfortunately for himself,
abandoned his effective chop stroke
in this set and as a result could not
stand up against Adams fierce on
slaught. The set resulted in a vic.
tory for the latter by score Of 6-2.
This places Adams in position to
compete in the final round with the
winner in the second division. The
victor of this match will play Rodney
Morrison, Jr., in the challenge round.
In the first match Of the afternoon,
Michael defeated Kroner 81, SO, but
was forced to yield to George Kelly
later by the scores Of 81 and 3.6.
Gotshall defeated Wood In first class
shape, 60, go. The former. looks like
hard contestant for honors In the
second division and It is likely that
he may meet Adams in the finals II
he keeps up the excellence he has
been displaying in his play.
Harold Stoyle defeated Harold Wal
ton 7-5 and Ga. Stoyle did not let him.
self out to his fullest extent and play
ed only hard enough to win.
The drawings for the consolation
singles were made yesterday afternoon
and resulted as follows: 1st round
Ringwalt vs.. Alderman, Eastman VS..
Ward, Curtis vs.. Alan, Shireman VS..
Welshymer, Strang vs. Harper, Lever

Afer the Mt. Vernon Moose had Sc.

contest with the Newark Moose at
Riverside park Sunday afternoon the
game turned into joke and the three
thousand fans present expecting to
witness hard fought battle were
treated to real comedy show. Every
man on the. local team swapped 20.
sitions with his neighbor. In the
ninth inning the managers in street
clothes did The battery work, Atkin.
son pitching and Rovillard catching.
The large crowd grew disinterested
and was on the point of leaving the
field when the idea Of show entered
the heads of the managers. The idea
was good one and none who we're
there will say that. taking the game
as whole, they did not enjoy 1t.
Popham began the game behind the
bat and finished very creditably at
second base. Sapp came in from cen.
ter field and caught several innings
in fine style while during the last two
innings Porter caught like big
Lacquer. Backstops were plentiful.
Bowden was so good in the box that
the visitors did not get even scratch
hit off his delivery SO Maxwell was
brought in from left field to make 1t a
little easier for them. There was
nothing soft about his delivery either
and he seemed to be about as effec-
tive as Bowden. Finally Rene Mon
dron was put on the slab to pitch the
first ball of his life to batter. Only
one hit resulted from this venture so
Manager Atkinson went in and struck
out two of the last three batters.
Everybody can be assured of some
good base ball next Sunday and Mon
day The All-Stars Of Columbus will
be mere for one game on Sunday and
two on Monday.
