CLARK COUNTY GIANT
BARS MINISTER'S AND
WRITES OWN SERMON
free Thought Thesis Prepared
by Corpse Only Service Held
at Hoblit Funeral.

Clark, 8. D., Aug. S25.-Information
q reached here OF the death at Chris
toyal, Tex, OF Cation Hoblit, who for
many years was q resident OF Clark
county, and who during his residence
here enjoyed the distinction OF being
the largest man in South Dakota, tip
ping the scales at 512 pounds. About
q year ago a report reached South Da-
kota that he had been shot n killed
In Texas by a Mexican, but this proved
unfounded.
Hoblit was also distinguished as one
of the most peculiar men who ever re-
sided In South Dakota. One OF his
peculiarities was. Illustrated at his fu-
neral, when at his request no clergy
men were present and a funeral Grafton
prepared by him during h closing
days OF his life was read, this being
practically the sole ceremony at n fu-
neral. He was a believer in free
thought.
Hoblit was born December 2. 1850,
or a farm near Atlanta, Ill. At p Tge
Of 10 he began serving In a public ca
pacity az constable, deputy sheriff and
city marshal, c~onsecuttvely, for AZ
years. He was first married In 1871,
his wife dying three years later. In
1877 he married q second time and IN
1882 came to Dakota with his wire,
locating on q homestead In Clark coun-
ty. In 1889 he was admitted to n
bar, but decided not to leave the farm,
SO he never engaged In active practice
as a lawyer. In 1909 he rented his
large and well improved farm near here
and moved to Texas, where he engaged
in the ranch business. About q year
e he was stricken with paralysis and
eve recovered from its enects. 4.

is now Miss Jessie Wilson, daughter OF
president Wilson. Attendance at tne
game will be part Of her honeymoon
She is to be married Tuesday. This
young couple will probably be nearly
as much observed as are the football
heroes.
That's a pretty and interesting story
which is going to the effect that Gov.
Tener, of Pennsylvania, is to be elected
as president of the National baseball
league. I don't mean to say that Gov
Tener would not make a first class
president. He knows the game from
all angles as fine player and $50
degree fan.
He would be an ideal league presi-
dent. but he is also an ideal governor
of Pennsylvania, with another year 10
run. as well as an ideal president Of
two or three manufacturing concerns.
Mr.. Tener knows baseball because
he was at one time a great pitcher IN
the National league and went around
the world with Spalding's team in 1888.
When he is through with his JOB as

governor Of Pennsylvania he might
consent to act as baseball president
for $4,000 a year, provided they give
him four year term, as suggested by
Mr.. Baker, Of the Phillies. But II IS
too tough to think Of the National
league giving up that bunch OF coin
to anybody.
For several years there has been the
annual announcement that Mr.. Brown,
in Louisville, is going to be the prest-
dent, but it never happens.
Garry Herman and Barney Dreyfuss
would like very much to see their old
friend Brown or governor Tener on
the job, but that is purely personal
Both Brown and Tener have been
grand exalted rulers Of the Elzs and
so has Garry Herman Barney Drey-
1uSs, Of PIttSburg. and Mr.. Baker, or
Philadelphia, are naturally strong for
Tener because he is the governor OF
their state. Charley Ebbetts is for

from the same minor league lot. The
Boston Nationals have drafted Larry
Gilbert from Milwaukee, Pete Comp

Zwilling from St. Joseph, and every
one OF them is a Battle Creek player
who jumped to bigger fields Compton
was sold to the St Louis Americans.
Last fall st. Louis let him go to
Kansas City, where he proved a Whirl-
wind.
Zwining came to Battle Creek in
1910 from Bay City. He batted 326.

Larry Gilbert Joined the club as a
lefthanded pitcher. In 1912 manager
McKernan decided to make him an out
fielder for his hitting. Milwaukee
took him in the spring OF 1918.
The 1913 draft included all three,
and by an odd turn OF fate Boston got
them all
