English Writers
 Laud Mike Murphy

Once in a while our English cousins come right out and give us boost. As much as they are annoyed over suc- cessive defeats by our athletes, one of Great Britain's sporting journals, ssLdfe,'' in It's issue of June 6, actually speaks with eloduence of the late Mike Murphy's capabilities as the worlds premier coach.
 The article was on the front page and the caption read:
 .sGreat trainer and greater judge of mani
 To quote in part:
 Mike Murphy is dead; the news was flashed across the wires yesterday, and a great character has departed. The world of sport is the poorer for his death American athletics was his obsession: the most faithful scr want that could be imagined to Penn sy1vania University, but Mike was at his best in charge of an American Olympic team.
 s.An autocrat of the old school, there was no crossing him; his word was law-and the value of his work need not be insisted upon; to Murphy more than to any other man is the credit for Americas great performan- ces in the Olympic games due.
 'sHe knew all there was to be known in the sport. His theory was that runner were made. not born. A man should run in style Get your form first said he, pace will come along all right.
 Unlike many others of the old type Murphy was not immersed in dogma.

 TeTTe Haute Club

Scouts who arc combdng the minor leagues for Owner Frank Farrell of the New York Yankees continue to find material that appears promising enough for purchase. Following close Iy on the announcement Monday that four youngsters had been captured in the Yankee dragnet comes the pur- chase of a pair of minor league stars, Kroy and Pick, from the Terre Haute club of the Central League, The deal was closed yesterday and the players will report in the fail, after the close of the Central League season.
 Pick Is an infielder and Kroy an out- fielder. Pick was with the Terre Haute club last season and he is cred- tied with 132 hits in 125 games. his batting average being .291- The feld- ing records do not give a. correct line on his ability, as he played three differ ent positions during the year. He played fifty eight games at third base,
 lfty-flve at shortstop, and twelve games in the outae1d.
 Kroy was with the Grand Rapids club Of the same league last season and he played in 116 games. He got 110 hits for an average Of -25T, and he made only six errors during the sea- son. He finished high among the league outhelders with a mark Of .s7s.

.HOLY YOKE DEFEATS
 LOCALS IN I2TH
Winning Run Made from Tuekey
 After Rapp Goes Out

Bridgeport dropped a 12 inning bat. t1e to Ho1yoke in Pu1pvil1e yesterday by to 5. The Springfield Republican has the following account of the game:
 ''Garry's men battled 12 innings with Monte Cross & Co., and the up- river artists yanked out victory through timely hitting, 6 to 5. With one out in this third extra session. Moves secured his first hit of the day and while he was perched on first, Ed- wards connected with the first ball pitched by Tuckey and 1t went for two bases, Moves getting across the pan just ahead of the throw. Catcher Russell had the ball in time to get Moves at the plate but the Holyoker made a perfect slide and the contest was over.
 Previous to then. the game had been apparently sewed up two or three times. The visitors were given the opportunity to tie in the ninth ses- sion through a wild peg by Gleason to third to get McGamWe1 and the run ner raced across the pan with the tying count From then on. 1t was a tight battle. Both Daniels Of Holyoke and Tuckey of Bridgeport got into some bad holes, but they managed to escape without damage
 Rapp was Monte Cross first choice for mound duty, but after he had been hit in punches he was relieved by I1ICkGY In the seventh BT1QS6POTE garnered almost as many hits as did the home team, but Daniels showed his real form in those tight places
 Russell pounded out three safe ones for the visiting tea1ns and Stow, Elan agan and BouItes hit in fine form. Boultes rornped around third in a glee- fu1 manner, while Gleason made soma sensational pick-ups and throws at shortstop for the winners. G1eason's one error was his bad throw to third in the ninth, which gave Bridgeport another life. but in the other parts Of the game he was last and certain
 Bridgeport got rnen on base in the opener, only to have the chances frus- trated through poor base-running- Hol- yoke scored three in it's half, on sin- gles by Gleason, Catterson and Ed- wards and an error by .s8obbie' Stow. Bridgeport got one in the second on a single and & wild throw to third by Daniels. Then the visitors took the lead in the fourth by punching hits three runners crossing the plate. Hol- yoke came back in the sixth and sent two runners over, on hits In success sion by Edwards and F1aherty.

WOMAN LOSES CONTEST
John Mathewson Declared Clerk OF
Brown County.

Hiawatha, Kan, March 1e.-The
contest for county clerk of Brown
county, which has been in the court
since the November election, was de-
cided yesterday afternoon in favor of
John e. Mathewson and against Jes-
sic Campbell. The canvassing board
awarded the certificate of election to
Jessie Campbell. Mathewson contest
ed and the contest court cancelled the
certificate issued by the canvassing
board and declared that Jno. E. Math-
ewson was elected by a majority of
two.
An appeal was taken to the district
court and Judge Stuart decided the
case in favor of Mathewson and sus-
tanned the findings of the contest
court. 1t is said that an appeal will
be taken to the supreme court, but
the general impression is that the de-
cision today settles the case.
An early dispatch reported that Miss
Campbell had won the contest This
has been proven untrue, however.

ed ruler, In the letter King George
expressed his joy at the success of
the Greek armies and at the rapid and
efficient reorganization of the Greek
defensive forces. He told of his salts
faction at the nations display of con-
fdence in Crown Prince Constatine, af-

often had been inclined to abdicate
but would not do so during the coun-
try's unprosperous period.
The letter concludes by saying that
after peace has been restored and the
jubilee Of his reign celebrated, the
king would leave the throne to his son.
He intended to live in Denmark, but
would spend two months of every year
in Paris.
Before settling down, however, his
majesty wished to make visit to the
