Is TURTLES REPORT AND
BEGIN HARD PRACTICE

MEMPHIS, TENN. March r.
Eighteen candidates for positions on
the local team reported to Manager
Bernhard this morning for the first real
practice session of the season. Infield-
er Ward was used at third base and It
is considered probable that he will be
kept there, though he is down as sec
ond baseman. Pitchers, Schneiberg
and Kroh, the free agent division Of
the squad, look surprisingly good and
indications point to their being serious
contenders for regular positions.
Nothing has been heard from Bales.
McCrone and Oriet. the 300 hitters
who threaten to desert. Bernhard
wired McCrone this morning that it
was not necessary for him to play here.
He told him he might lay off for sea-
son.

TOE THOMAS. a black haired
lad from New Orleans, gave
- championship exhibition of
boxing at the Orpheum theater,
when he defeated Tommy O'Keefe,
a game. stocky young man from
Philadelphia, in the fastest ten
round bout ever seen in this part
of the good old L. s.
OKeefe was on the receiving end
of a continuous bombardment for
seven of the ten spasms. In three
sessions he held the wiry, fast and
hard hitting Pelican even. The
first, eighth and ninth rounds were
even. The others were Thomas by
a city block.
IN his battle with Frank Whitney
Thomas displayed a heap of
good boxing ability. But last night
he was just twice as good as he
was against the Fighting Carpen-
ter. He was faster, hit straighter
and his blows carried more snap.
At range he boxed with the clever
ness of an Attell. In the clinches
he displayed all the famous quail
ties that made Joe Walcott buga
boo to champions.
O'Keefe has two lightning fast
hands, but fast as he would jab
with his left or cross with his right
Thomas nine times out of ten beat
him to the punch. Joe didn't have
to block Tommy's leads. Instead
he simply got his own blows home
first, the best kind of a guard if 1t
may be called such.
Thomas has as good a pair OF
legs as he has hands. He stepped
around O'Keefe as though he was
a bantam, and lefts and rights, some
straight and others hooked, kept
battering off O'Keefe's head and
wind.
nKEEF'E looked like ali even
~ money shot at the end of the
first round. For three minutes the
lads stood off and snapped punch
es. Thomas appeared to be little
off in his Judgment of distance and
at the bell right hook that landed
hard on the jaw just did give the
Pelican an even break
In the second round Thomas
opened up with everything in MS
battery. He worked into close
quarters and ripped up two right
uppercuts that hurt O'keefe. AS
they broke Thomas worked right
hand half-pivot wallop to the vino.
Four times did Joe jab without
return and then as O'Keefe came in
with lowered head. Thomas caught
him with terrible right to the jaw.
A straight left opened a cut on
Thomas lip.
The third round opened with
Thomas shooting three lefts to the
head and at close quarters two
rights to the stomach. Thomas
then jabbed seven times and
O'Keefe couldn't seem TO fathom
any way to stop the punches. A
belonged to Thomas.
Thomas swung both hands TO the
head in the fourth and Okeefe

bombardment that looked as though
it would surely stop the Quaker
But Tommy Weathered the storm.
O'Keefe swung a left low and Ref
cree Saul cautioned him. In an
other exchange O'Keefe again hit
low. but it was an accident and the
boys shook hands. At the bell
Thomas swung a terrible right to
the jaw and O'Keefe was a bit
groggy as he went to his corner.
The fifth round found both boys
willing to do most of their milling
head to head. The round was fast,
but the blows landed were hard to
see. Thomas had O'Keefe weak

Big Judgment Here
Now Being Pushed

1901. In 1904 litigation commence
ed, and since that time the case haD
been in the courts, state and federal.
Anderson organized mining compan-
les, the white Star Of Texas; later
the White Star Of Illinois. The
claim was worked by these compan-
les, and the Judgment given in the
Kansas court at Abilene six years
ago supposedly represents the
amount OF gold extracted from the
claim. Federal courts have sus-
tanned the judgment.
Approximately 100000 has been
recovered on the judgment by the
church corporation. The White
Star Mining company of Illinois
furnished $4,000 and the sale OF
the Alaska claim went to make up
the remainder.
On the other claim Anderson had,
staked originally in his name, ne
grew immensely wealthy. When he
returned to America he bought land
in Dickinson county which explains
the presence of the case in the coun-
ty court. He owns property in Chi
cago. 1t is said that since the time
he grew rich in Alaska he owned
diamond mines and coffee planta-
tions in South America. Where he
is now cannot be learned.

HEADED THIS WAY
A NEW RAILROAD PROJECTED
THROUGH DICKINSON.
Charter Taken for Line to Run From
Hutchinson to Fairbury, Neb.
May MateriaIize Some
Time.

Topeka, June 16.--The public
utilities commission has granted au-
thority to the Hutchinson & North
ern Railway company to begin busi-
ness as a public utility in Kansas.
It is one of the numerous north and
south railway lines projected in
Kansas in the last few years. 1t is
to build from Hutchinson to Fair
bury, Neb.
The company proposes to build
fourteen miles of line this summer,
from Hutchinson to Burton, to give
the Frisco an entrance into Hutch
inson. The extension of the line
across the state will come later. The
utilities commission granted the
company permission to issue S125r
900 in common and preferred stock
to be sold for cash and at not less
than eighty cents on the dollar to
start its construction work.
The company plans eventually q
road traversing Reno, Harvey, Nc

WILL DRAG STREETS
AFTER EACH RAIN.

Ten miles Of street, to be drag
ged after each rain, at a cost of S11
was the plan evolved by the city
engineer, Kenyon Riddle, and adopt
ed unanimously by the city commits
sioners when presented to them at
their meeting this morning.
The streets comprise g district, in
cluding Buckeye, Third, Walnut, the
Golden Belt, and other arteries OF
traffic. The plan calls for drag
ging after each rain. Rains. 1udg-
ing by the average, occur 20 times
yearly.
The advantages Of dragging are
manifold, according to the city en-
gineer. Weeds are kept down. dust
Is eliminated to a great extent,
drainage Is improved, and the ex-
pense Of grading is greatly reduced,
to say nothing Of vastly improved
traffic facilities" he said.
