their main endeavor to pierce the line
between Yprcs and Armcntieres and will
attempt to hew through further south

Latest Sporting News
SPORT GOSSIP

Pitcher House, recently released by
the Chicago White Sox to Omaha, has
the following story told on him: He
lived with his parents in the Ozark
region of Missouri where it was neces-
sary to plant corn with shotgun and
in the fall stand at the foot of the hill
and knock the ears off the stocks with
a stone. Of course this developed his
right arm. After leaving Missouri he
went to Larned, Kan, and began
working on farm. His employer soon
found that he was not doing a full
days work and would occasionally dis
appear. He watched House one day
and saw him "snek" away, and after
filling his pockets with small stones
start for the pasture. To the farmers
amazement, he found House hunting
jackrabbits. He would throw the
Stones at the rabbits and kill four out
of every five as they started to run.
The farmer, being a baseball fan, be-
gan teaching him to pitch a baseball,
and soon he broke into the game as a
pitcher. His first year was with
Hutchinson in the Kansas State league
in 1911, and he has been improving
since.

CRITIC IN PARIS
SAYS JOHNSON IS
IN GOOD SHAPE
Negro Champion Will Be Right
When He Meets Moran Next
Saturday In France.
CHICAGO BLACK BELT
SUPPORT THEIR PRIDE
Johnson Shows Oldtime Ability
to Box and Stands Punish
ment Like Youngster.

PARIS, June 25.-Jack Johnson, so
far as anyone can tell, will be right
when he faces Frank Moran, the lat
est white hope, here Saturday night
for twenty rounds at the Veledrome
D'Hiver.
I saw johnson Tuesday and watch
ed him carefully. There have, even in
Paris, been many reports that John
son is fat, is slow, hasn't got the
punch, in a word, is all in. He didn't
look like it to me. The big negro looks
fit for fight with any man, and, un-
less the high living Of the past few
years has burned him out inside, the
persons who are putting their money
on Moran as a long shot will never
cash in.
johnson spared with his French
Swiss partners at his training quar-
tiers across from the Bots de Bou-
longe. In the hands of the big black,
his assistants looked like children.
Johnson rarely struck blow, but the
defense which has been lauded as the
most perfect the ring ever saw was
there as of old. Simply crossing his
arms, Johnson received attack after
attack of his sparring partners and
not one blow of note went, home. The
peaked, closely shaver skull of the
champion, rooled easily from side to
side as the whizzing swings went by
Takes Hard Blows.
Then johnson changed his style.
"Wade in, boy" he said, with grin,
and drew the protecting arms away
from his midriff. Bing, bang, slam, the
wallops came into Jonhson's stomach.
signs showed that he was distressed
by the punches-and some of them
were solid, too. If Moran plans to sink
Johnson's ship by stomach punches
he'll sure have to have some punch.

|HIBBnQC IS
NO INDIAN TOWN
Suit to Be Started to Prevent
Closing of Saloons in Part
of Treaty Territory.

ST. PAUL, June 25.-On the theory
that 1.either Brainerd nor Hibbing is
now in Indian country and because of
this the liquor prohibition clause in
the treaty of 1856 is no longer ap-
plicable, suit probably will be insti-
tuted to prevent the closing of saloons
in those districts. Should the suits
prove successful, effort will be made
to extend the action to other sections
affected by the recent supreme court
decision declaring "dry" large part
of the northern section of Minnesota.
This statement was made by F. w.
Zollman, attorney for the Minnesota
Brewers association, on his return
from Washington. In handing down
it's decision several days ago, the Su-
preme court cited the case of Perrin
VS.. the United States, emanating from
South Dakota, drawing parallel be-
tween it and the present situation and
saying:
Cite Clause in Opinion.
eve do not mean to say that if it
appeared that no considerable number
Of Indians remained wards Of the gov
eminent within the territory in ques--
ton, the courts would not be justified
in declaring that since the constitu-
tional warrant for the restriction no
longer existed the restrictions must
expire with it,"
it will be contended, if the suit is
started, that both Brainerd and Hib-
bing are now the white mans country
and that there being no more poor
Los" to be protected, the courts are
justified in leaving the enforcement
of liquor restrictions in the hands of
the state.
Indians Are Scarce.
eve take the position" Mr.. Zollman
said, "that most of the territory men
toned in the treaty Of 1856 has passed
away from the Indians and is not In
dian land any more. It seems hardly
reasonable that Fl, 900 square miles of
this state, having only 1000 Indians,
could be called Indian country"
Mr.. Zollman added that he expected
motion for re-hearing Of the case to
be made in Washington today by Levi
Cooke, attorney for the National
LIQUOR Dealers association. Cato Sells,
commissioner of Indian affairs, has
called in his field crew stationed in
Minnesota for conference over the
| situation.
