UNIQUE COLLECTION.

Robert Young, ironmonger, Edin.
burgh, who passed away recently,
was known far and wide as a collec-
tor of horseshoes. Row upon row,
on the walls of his shop, hung shoes
dating from the time of the Roman
occupation (those having been found
in Monmouthshire) down to the
present day. Among the latter were
included shoes worn on the day of
the race by such famous derby win
ners as Lord Rosebery'S Ladas and
Sir James Miller's Rock Sand. Ev-

No man is so we'll qualified to write
an accurate and comprehensive his
toy of the Indiana Democracy as the
Hon. John B. Stoll, the eminent editor
and author, of South Bend. He has
always been one of the chief counsel
ors Of his party, has never held polit-
ical Office or INDUCED in a factional
fight. Mr.. Stoll will trace The birth
and development of the party from
1916 to 1914, and give every man his
rightful place in history, condemning
the selfish and overambitious and the
charlatans, and praising those who
have battfed during the dark days of
Republican supremacy for the rights
of the people and who are deserving
of space in the hall of fame.
The history will not be confined to
Indiana politics, but will cover the
party's achievements in national af-
fairs, particularly the assistance given
President Wilson by Indiana's distin-
guished sons, Thomas R. Marshall,
Benjamin F. Shively, John w. Kern,
and the thirteen able Representatives.
At no time in the history of the coun-
try has one State contributed such
galaxy of brilliant men as are repre-
sentlng Indiana at the national capt.
tai and at the State house as at the
present time.
A Democratic History of Indiana is
particularly opportune, and should
have the encouragement and support
Of every loyal and patriotic Democrat.
1t has the endorsement of every lead
ing Democrat in the State from Gov
ernor Ralston down, and every county
should see to it that its prominent
Democrats are represented in the
work, for it will serve as an imper-
ishable record of the party's achieve
ments.
Special reporters are now visiting
the various counties throughout the
State, procuring the biographies and
photographs of the prominent Demo-
Gratis for the history, which will prob
ably be ready for the press in the late
summer or early fall.
Those Of our readers who have. any
old clippings relative to old-time Dem
ocrats are invited to send them to the
Indiana Democratic Publishing Co. of
Indianapolis, as such information will
be greatly appreciated and will help
In the comprehensiveness and accur-
acy Of the work. -.----

Grow Alfalfa.

An acre of alfalfa yields $3.50
pounds of digestible matter; red clo-

In every dollars worth of alfalfa
there are thirteen pounds of protein
In every dollars worth of corn there
are only eight pounds of protein. The

CH|CAC0ANS Want
BOXING LOCALIZED
Efforts Will be Made to OBJ
tain Law Similar to
Wisconsin's.

Milwaukee. Sept. 11.-Chicago box
ing followers are to make another
attempt to pass a boxing bill similar
to the Wisconsin and New York meas
ures. 1t has been many years since
the game wa stopped in Chicago fol-
lowing the McGovern-Gans mixup in
1900.
That was the blow that killed the
goose. M the promoters in the Windy
City have never been able to recover
from It. 1t is proposed now to intro
duce a bill that will provide for six
round bouts, with a man like Jim Cof-
froth of San Francisco in charge for a
period of six months, after which the
task will be left to a commission, the
same as in Wisconsin. -.
Regulation Needed.
There is no reason why Illinois
should not lave a boxing bill. There
are thousands of followers of the game
in that state, even outside Of Chi
to have the contests held under proper
regulations than under present condi-
tions. Many of the towns in Illinois
permit boxing bouts and many battles
are held in the heart of Chicago, &C
cording to statements of Chicago
sporting men, and this is just what a
boxing law will prevent.
Ready to Help.
Milwaukee promoters have drawn
heavily from Chicago when high class
bouts have been staged, but just the
same, in justice to the followers of the
game in Illinois, the fans and pro-
motors Of Milwaukee would like to see
the game legalized in the neighboring
state, and if the men who helped to
pass the Wisconsin law can be Of as
sistance they stand ready to help Chi
get such a, law.

words, the second string beavers have
not appeared on the mound much
more than once a week.
James a Glutton.
Big Billy James is the real glutton

than either OF the other two. and his
record of wins and losses speaks in no
meek tones for the big fellow. 1t is
generally recognized the country owe
hat James. Rudolph and Tyler are
doing great work. but the real figures
on what they have done are a little
more than startling.
James heads the list, having started
23 games and working as a relief in
several others. Rudolph has been sen
after the opposition 16 times. and Ty-
Ter 16. OF the others. Crutcher has
started 4 games, Hess 3, Perdue and
Cochrehan 2, and Cottrell, Davi and
Strand l each.
Taking the foregoing as a basis for
figuring the remaining contests. it is
probable that the big three will start
2S of the remaining 80 games. If that
program goes through they will have
started 80 out of 81 games in the drive
through the last three months of the
hottest pennant fight the National
league has seen for a score of years.

CUBS CANNOT MAKE

expedition to Cuba is off. President
Charles Thomas of the West Side club
yesterday announced that he would
not allow any of his players to visit
the island to play a series of games
with a Havana club. The jaunt was
to have been headed by Rube Cook.
the Cubs secretary. and fifteen mem
bers Of the team had expressed their
Intention of going.
Thomas ultimatum followed a
complaint made by Manager O'Day.
The Cub pilot was strongly opposed
to the idea. and he informed the club
president of his attitude. Thomas
then thought over the matter and de-
cided to put the lid on the trip.

Yost Lines Eleven !.

Ann Arbor. Mich. Sept. 1o.-Field-
ing H. Yost sprang surprise No. q
in the training camp yesterday when
he lined up a complete eleven and
sent them down the field in forma-
tons just "a hours after he had call
ed his squad together for the first
practice of the season..
The advent Of three Of the Wal
verine's most seasoned veterans was
the probable cause Of the unexpected
move on the part Of the wizard coach,
but this did not serve to lessen the
amazement Of the camp followers, who.
in the past have been taught to wait
at least q week before the first ink
ling of a possible 'Yost eleven made
itself apparent. Captain James
Raynsford had charge of this first
eleven and worked at his old tackle
position. y
Hugitt, Lyons and, Catlett were the
veterans to arrive in camp today while
the others to come, in were Burge, q
former University Of Washington
player; Hildner, Norton, Patterson
and Whalen. Harry Hammond, once
Of Chicago and a former Michigan
star, was in camp this afternoon and
promised to come back with hts broth-
er Tom before the Harvard gamesto

ANSWER r CALL

Fargo. N. D.. Sept. 11.-About 81
candidates for the Fargo high foot
ball team answered the first call of
Coach Robbins yesterday afternoon.
Plans for the season were discussed.
All the candidates were enthusiastic
over the plans as mapped out by the
coach and the prospects for a cham
pionship team this fall are very
bright. AS yet no captain has been
elected and will probably not be elect
ed for a month or so.
Only two Of last years team are
back, Boise n Sullivan. 1t is not
unlikely that one Of them will be
elected to the job. Both men are well
qualified for it as they have both had
two or three years experience on the
team. Tomorrow afternoon the first
practice of the season will taxi place
and the boys are all a%nxiously await
ing the tryout.
