HUNGRY CROWS KILLED CAT
Pussy Had No Chance Against the
Numbers and Ferocity Of Her
Attackers.

Fuzzy-Wu, small parti-colored jap
.anese cat, which had been presented
recently by friend returning from
the Orient to Ralph Marion. owner OF
a farm in the Christian Hook section
of Oceanside. L. L., wandered short
distance from the farmhouse and was
stalking sparrows when flock OF
hungry crows descended on it.
The leader of the crows swooped
like a hawk on the cat, attacking with
claws, wings and beak. Fuzzy-Wu
tried to run away, but crows swarmed
in from all directions. From his
house Marion saw the huge black
birds Tapping their wings a few feet
above the ground and then darting
awkwardly downward. When he ap-
preached them the flock took flight,
cawing angrily and leaving on the
ground the remains of a Japanese cat.
I,u. ger. increased by the present
cold spell, is believed to have been
the motive of the crows. which nor
NAL are content with worms, insects
and grains.

WINTER SPORTING DOPE FROM EVERYWHERE
Johnny Griffiths Making Good
White Fights Tonight.

Johnny Grifiths, the Akron, o.,
lightweight, is rapidly winning con-
sideration from fight fans and pro-
motors, both because of his ability
and his willingness to- exhibit said.
ability on the slightest provocation.
Right now the Iightweights are the
popular boys of the ring. There are
any number of good men in that di-
vision, and the scarcity of clever
heavier men gives them greater OPP
portunity to command attention.
Griffiths iS-one of the most willing
lads in the game All he asks is an
opponent. He doesn't first demand
1O1 per cent of the gate receipts, win,
loose or draw. True, Grifiths is no
champion, but there are other aspir-
ants for the title who attempt to
make terms that would be exorbitant,
even from title holder. r..
Grifffths meets Joe Mandot in
Windsor, Ont, the night of Jan. IA.
A fiercely contested battle is bound
to be the outcome. Only recently
Grifiths broke from the oblivion of
Akron, and after a few more sue
cessful fights in the East he con-
templates an invasion of the Pacific
coast, where the top lightweights are
now making their headquarters.
Tonight's fight between Charlie
White and Harry Donahue at Peoria
will not be interfered with by the
authorities, despite the agitation of
reformers. Assurance has been
given the distiIlery village officials
that the battle will be clean affair.
White should be returned winner.
Donahue is by no means soft mark,
but much of the enthusiasm over
him in Peoria is caused by the fact
that he comes from that vicinity, and
the home talent boosters are busy.

cent fights, and the opposition to this

National Commission Meets in Gin
cinnati-Scared.

The National Commission, So
called organized basebaI's govern
ing body, is meeting today in Gin
cinnati, and the members are more
worried than they like to think about.
Notwithstanding bombastic talk
about what the Twill do to the Fed
eral League, magnates Of the two
older circuits are genuinely alarmed
at the strides the newcomers have
made in the last few weeks.
Biggest of all the facts considered
by the American and National was
the signing of Joe Tinker and Nor
decai Brown by the Feds, especially
the case of Tinker. 1t is not looked
on merely as the signing of one man.
In the eyes Of balipIayers, the fact
that Tinker jumped the oldsters for
the Feds is warrant enough of the
new leagues stability They feel
that the money must be there, or an
old head like Tinker would not have
taken the bait.
Magnates realize this, and have
come to a realization that they are
up against real fight. But the
awakening has been too long de-
layed and the Feds ehave secured a
strong foothold right under the
closed eyes of organized baseball.
No longer can the American and
National sit back and await the
movements of the Feds. The latter
have the strategic position, and the
old duo nut take the offensive and
attempt to dislodge them. In the
meantime, the Feds have secured
good sites for parks in all cities
where they will place teams this
year.
Some of the magnates are much in
the position of the gent who slept in
a powder magazine They never
knew when they are going to be lift

their Olavers have fhrOIvn in their
