JOHN ID. SHERMAN.

The nature OF humanity is the inclin-
alton to change. No matter where we
live or what our surroundings, whether
we are prosperous or otherwise, we are
born with a spirit OF unrest and the de-
sire to explore. The state Of New York
gave up many OF her sons to Michigan
for this reason.
Among the people coming west great
many years ago was boy, little more
than baby, who had little to say about
the selection Of home for himself, but
having come with the rest OF the family,
has never deserted, though nearly 10
years heve passed since that time
John ID. Sherman was native OF Lee
roy, Geuesee county, New York. He
was born in 1897, and we know that he
wes only seven years OF age when his
parents came to this place with two
other small children. His father traded
New York farm for general store
here, as every store was at that tune.
and vas located where Il. Smith x Co.
do business today. Al the back of the
store was au addition or annex which
was called porkery in that day. The
proprietor bought pork from the far
mers and packed it for sale and conduct
ed quite business.
The boys school DAYS we're begun IN
the old Godfrey house on Main street.
His fret tescher was Mrs. Godfrey.
School was afterward "kept' 10 the old
porkery building and Mr.. Sherman also
attended there with Miss Philura War
ner as his instructor.
When the family first came to Paw
Paw the locality that we now call Main
street was simply stagnant pond in
hsbited by lizards, frogs, snakes, etc,
aud covered with pond lilies. This was
10 1874, but there were number Of bus
mess houses here, among them Stevens
& Darling, Nathan Mears, Willard IL
Nj iffet. The Old Exchange was the
ion that took care OF the travellers. This
hotel as located where the Dyckman
house Darn now stands, but was later
moved onto Main street aud ia 1860 was
destroyed by fire. The Dodge tavern
was another hostelry that did business
here 10 the early DAYS Of Paw Paw. This
house had the reputation of being one
of tue finest eating houses between De-
troIt aud st. Jo This was the verdict
of the travelling public. This town was
called the city in the woods, beirg
amidst forest OF oak trees and grubs
rhe younger generation can hardly be-
lieve that there was at that time not a
maple tree to be seen, all OF these beau
tiful trees that are our pride now, hav.
ing been set out by the inhabitants OF
those times. This is the way OF the
world-we reap the benefit of the sacri
flee and labor OF those who planned
this beauty spot. but few OF them lived
to enjoy the full consummation OF It's
loveliness.
John Sherman, upon reaching young
manhood, developed a marked tendency
for business and clerked in his fathers
store, and also was a clerk in the hard.

where We talk to Waters He was
afterwards in the grocery business and

Smith Leaves Scott Behind in

SHEPPARD BADLY Beaten
Makes a Poor Showing in the Half
Mile in fist Regiment

Smith. who won his place on the Ameri-
can Olympic team, raced to a brilliant
victory in the three-mile invitation run,
which was the feature Of the annual in
door track and field games Of the list
Regiment, held at the armory last night
Smith won his race by somewhat less
than a full lap, but he beat Louis Scott
the south Paterson speed marvel, by well
over a lap and half
Scott wore his Olympic shirt bearing
the shield, and the colors were loudly
cheered as he crossed the line. Hannes
KOhlemainen, the Finnish runner, was
entered to run in the race against Smith
but he reported sick at the armory and
did not put on a uniform.
Smith never ran a prettier race in his
long career. He hung back in the bunch
for only about three-quarters Of mile
and then with a long, free stride he
moved out, sweeping by his competitors
one after another. At two miles Smith
went out in a wild sprint that carried
him far beyond the reach of Scott The
latter tried to hang on, but he was not
up to the task. Smith simply ran away
from him, and, evidently Disguised, Scott
merely trotted out the rest Of the way.
Mel Sheppard, the once wonderful run
ner of the Irish-American Athletic Club
and hero of the Olympic games in Lon
don, was badly beaten in the half mile
special race. Sheppard was never able to
get going, and twenty yards behind on
the bell lap he threw UP his heels and
Hoped off the track. Abel kiviat won the
race.

Locke Raps Syndicate Ball
and Says DOOM Will Remain
as Club Manager.

PITTSBURGH. Pa, January Twill H.
Locke, secretary of the Pittsburgh base
ball club, is preparing to move his house
hold to Philadelphia. His own statement
last night is that he'll have control of the
Philadelphia Nationals before the end OF
next week.
Locke denies that Mike Donlin is to be
manager. and says Charley Doom will
remain where he is. Gov John X. T ener
Is not financially interested. but Locke
says the governor made the deal posi-
BILE by swinging certain Philadelphia cap
ital into line for him. Had it not been
for Tener. Locke says, he would not have
been able to make the rifle. John P.
Harris of Pittsburgh puts no money into
the Phillies because he Is a stakeholder
in the Pittsburgh club. The same is true
of Oliver S. Hershman of Pittsburgh, who
offered to finance the transfer for Locke.
BY keeping them out Locke has prevented
all protest against syndicate ball. Dis
7tr.ct Attorney William A. Blakeley OF
Pittsburgh is one Of Locke's associates.
Blakeley and Gov. Tener are intimate
friends.
MY cousin, former Police Commits
sioner Baker of New York. will go into
the deal with me. or stay out as / de-
sire" said Locke. "If I need his money
he'll come In. Philadelphia capital is
largely interested in this deal. Gov. Tener
is not putting any money into the thing,
but it was largely through his efforts
In my behalf that l was able to get the
club. He brought in the Philadelphia
capital that I never could have reached.
The governor never has lost his interest
in the game. and for a long time 1t has
been his aim to have the Philadelphia
club owned by Pennsylvania capital.
II made the statement a few days ago
that If I got control Of the club l would
be in complete control and that not one
share Of the stock would be owned by
any man at present connected with base

1t has been some time since a heavy
weight pugilistic contest has found the
two principals even-money choices in the
betting Usually one of the contestants
is a heavy favorite, made SO because OF
past performances. but the Palzer-Mc-
Carly bout fails to furnish such condi-
lions, hence the even-money proposition.
No one has a line on either man

orally admitted. and yet both are young
and strong, and possessed Of a sleep

more experience than his rival, there is
nothing about his accomplishments In the

that he has managerial ability. VIII

will take possession Of the Philadelphia
of deposing DOOM and installing Mike
Donlin. He says he will allow DOOM to
continue. no doubt realizing that under
the FOgel regime Doom really never had
a CHARGE. There is some good material
on that team, and, now that it is assured
Doom is not to interfered with, he
may be able to show desired results.
When Fogel started out to abuse the
umpires and the league president he was
really doing the league great service,
for his remarks caused his own elimina-
ton from the club and game, and placed
the Philadelphia proposition on a solid
basis once more.
1t is doubtful if ever before so many
young pitchers made good in the major
leagues as was the case last year. First
year phenoms repeat. but seldom in the
big leagues. however. SO that those clubs
which are figuring on the same sort or
improved work from these players may
meet with disappointment. There have
been so many one-year pitchers In the
majors from time to time that the fact
that a youngster shows to good adj
vantage for a season assures really moth
ing. There are any number OF twirlers
who. during the first years experience
went through the major league batsmen
like a hurricane. yet failed thereafter
