Rossboro one of the old historical
spots of Lawrence County after a long
slumber has again come TO life. II
now begins to look as though it has
come to stay.
We now have saw mill, about ten
dwellings including grocery.
Christmas was most generally en-.
loved by nice little gathering of Ross
borO inhabitants, by all taking part in
a christmas tree treat in the good ole
fashioned style. Music was rendered
and the little tots Of the town were
made happy by each one falling il

deued their hearts.

The boxing fans Of New Haven are
at last to see in action Al Ketchel,
the Yankee boy of Bridgeport, and
against a fighter who will test his
nettle and prove bis calibre. One
Round Hogan's record of sensational
fights may influence many in the be-
lief that he will whip Ketchel decisive
iy. I am quite confident that it will
be the reverse and that when they
meet at the National A. c. on March
81 you will not only see a great con-
test but the Connecticut boy returned
the winner.
Ben Murphy, who has trained Will
lie Lewis, Jack Denning, Joe Jean
nette and Jack Britton, will have

contest with Hogan. Murphy will
take charge of KetcheI Immediately
and they will train for the bout at

INTERNATIONAL INVASION IN
SPORTS DURING THIS YEAR
English, Germans and Chinese Will Visit
j United States Athletes

New York, March 20-The interna-
tional aspect in sports spreading with
each successive year is unusually
dominant in the tentative arrange
ments of the big sporting events for
the summer. The program, now near
1y completed, calls for international
contests in which Americans will par
ticipate in about a dozen branches of
sport The list rangers from chess
to yachting. AS friendly invaders of
the American sporting arena, Chinese
baseball players are coming from the
Orient, cricket players and tennis ex-
perts from almost as far off as Aus
tralia, golf champions and polo chaI-
lengers from England, yachtsmen
from Germany, athletes from Cam
bridge and Oxford universities and
automobiles and aviators from
France as well as the usual influx of
foreign competitors in minor lines of
sports.
Dates for most of the summer
sporting features, both at home and
abroad, have now been set and from a
summary of those available here it
is evident the sport loving public is
to have an unusual variety of events
to follow.
In yachting the Germans renew the
sender or special class races with
the Americans, paying a visit of
nearly three weeks to these shores
i'll August. The races will be held
as usual off Marb1ehead, Mass, the
trials being set from Aug. Is to &c
and the finals beginning Sept. 7.
The golffng season will see the first
team match between American and
French golfers near Paris in the latter
part of June, following the British
open tournament in which a number
of Americans will also participate at
Moylake, June 10 to "a. The national
championships have been arranged
for Brook1ine, Mass. (open), and for
Garden City, L. L, (amateur), the lat

Harvard-YaIe team. The unusual in

JACK COLLINS, OLD
SPRINGFIELD PLAYER.
STARS WITH CHICAGO

Jack Collins, formerly of Springfield
gets this from Malcolm Mac1ean, one
of the baseball writer's with the Chi
cago White Sox who has this to say:
cit has been some time since a great
trio of outfeIders has participated for
the Sox. There always has been at
least one man not in the stellar class.
But things may be different this com
ing season.
Johnston in left, Mattick in center
and Collins in right. Gentlemen, this
is wonderfully fast outfeld. It is
composed of stars. Just size 'em up
! for moment and then gloat to your
hearts content. Collins is of the
cleanup hitting ability, of tremendous
speed, undoubted ability as a fielder
and thrower and a magnificent base
runner-oo sszsEexs -4a~Rf ezss azz%=
The writer is going to digress for
a moment and talk more at length re-
garding Collins.
Here is a man whose shoulder de-
ve1opment is like Heine Zirnmerman's
What more could you claim for any
ball player? The speed possibilities
in this man are unlimited. We doubt
if he's quite as fast Jimmy John
ston, but there's no reason why he
shouldn't steal fully as many bases.
ITO date Shane hasn't let himself
out to his fullest capacity. His pos
says if he should once let himself out
for year he'd make Ty Cobb look
like a selling platter on the bases. He
is like the mountain lion of the Paso
Robes territory.
''This fierce animal is stronger than
most beasts of the west, has beautiful
Zines and muscles. But he doesn't
seem to realize his own powers. A
little fox terrier can stand him at
bay and keep him there while the
humble human hunter dispatches him
with a bullet.
so, as our old friend Virgil said,
is Shane Collins. This is no reflection
on this grand ball player. Merely
a statement of conditions as we see
them. This season we believe Collins
will extend himself. He is going to
start out at right field without hav-
ing any worry of a possible berth at
first base. He is contented, and
probably will get off to a good start

THORPE HITTING
THAT BALL AGAIN
INDIAN MAKES TWO SINGLES
AND TRIPLE AGAINST TEXAS
LEAGUERS.

Waco, Texas, March 2o-EIeven
Giants were detached from the Mar
lin squad yesterday morning entrust-
ed to the chaperonage of Wi1bert Rob
inson and brought over here for a
fling at the Waco Texas Leaguers.
honor, not to mention neatness and
despatch, lowering the Waco colors
by a score of 10 to l.
Jost, a tall spitbaH pitcher of con-
siderable repute, faced the Giants for
five innings and moved them down
swiftly for one inning. After that he
became unsteady and that, with his
wi1dness, New York hits and the I'M
brid1ed capacity of the Waco folks
to make errors, the only question was
as to the size of the score.
The Giants played with snap and
spirit and gave nice display. There
was one thing they didn't thrive at,
however, and that was base running
The Waco catcher threw we'll and
New York attempts to accomplish a
double steal were thwarted. WiItse
and CrandaH had the enemy on the
jump nearly all the time They twirl-
ed with steady effectiveness and kept
the hostile bing1es scattered.
Fletcher i1lumined the battle with
the highest quality of his work. His
hitting was strong and he helded in
fine style He picked up all sorts OF
ground balls and Jim Thorpe, playing
first base, dug up two of F1etcher's
low throws, a la Hal Chase. ''Drags-
His-Rope'' gave a good account of
himself even though his propensity
for fishing for bad balls did cause
him to fan twice. He atoned for
these wkiffs by punching out two sin
giles and triple. He looked much
better at first base than he has look
ed in the outffe1d of late, and as
he got on the bases three times, he
had chance to show his exceptional
speed on circ1ing around the paths
