Clancy and Kline Draw.

Kline. Of Newark. and George CLANCY,
of Baltimore. fought one OF the hottest
ten-round featherweisht battles ever
staged here. with honors zigzagging
until the last round. when the ex-
element was rushed to fever heat.
Both men were on their feet ut the end,
and no decision was rendered. In the
early stages the Newark lad had the
better of the argument. and It was only
the remarkable stamina of Clancy and
his capacity to take punishment that
enabled him to stay TO the end.

The time is coming when prices must

must be made cheaper-cheap enough

profit and the player earn a fair liv-

The Washington times., 1914-06-25

Dear Sir: You say that a player
who jumps a signed contract is a
"welcher" and a "crook at hear" /"
How about those magnates who,
with players signed to contracts.
have either released these players or
have sold or traded them, with SAL
aries reduced, to minor leagues? Are
they any better than the player who
jumps his contract? R. z. f.
Not in the slightest Organized
baseball is entirely resporsible for
the deep trouble that now holds the
game. Certain magnatcs have vio-
lated contracts and have in other
ways brought discredit to the game.
Some of these were a good bit lower
than any player who has violated his
signed agreement.
The Washington times., 1914-06-25
The Blame.

We had no intention Of putting the
entire blame for baseball's present
troubles upon the player. The scatter
ing few who have followed our doctrine
know the stand we have taken against
Murphy and others of his type among
club owners.
We have always contended that the
player was the salvation Of the game.
Now, when certain players Join certain
magnates in a wild scramble for the
kale at any cost of fairness or clean
ness, what is left to hold the game up?
Organized baseball could have cverted
all trouble by dispensing Murphy and
others OF the same type years ago, and
by issuing q contract that WAS fair to
all parties. The game has been in
charge of the magnates. and the mag
mates haven't made good. There have
been few exceptions, but In the main
those IN charge haven't been high
enough types as sportsmen OF big
enough II other ways TO hold the
growth of the game IN line.

Old Ely Resident Dies

Richard Polkinhorne who resided
in this city for many years but who
for the past years has been a
resident of Eveleth, died in the
later city Saturday of dropsy after
short illness.
Mr.. Polkinhorne was 43 years of
age and leaves widow, mother,
two sisters and three brothers. He
has been prominent in Eveleth
business and official circles. He
was in the employ of the city as
patrolman for several years and up
to short time before his death was
with the Oliver police at the Fayal
and other mines.
The funeral was held Tuesday at
Hibbing and was under the auspices
of Half Moon Lodge, 1. o. O. F.
of Eveleth of which he was a
transfer member from Ely Lodge
No. 22O. The services were held
at the Presbyterian church and
conducted by Rev. Schwarz of
Eveleth.

appraised of his death and received
the news with profound regret

Christmas Business BEGINS

The mailing of Christmas par
GELS has begun with a rush and the
postoffice fores are kept quite busy.
The insurance feature on parcels
causes considerable extra work for
the clerks and necessitates just so
much time to be given each piece
insured. Patrons of the office can
help out in this matter and mater
tally assist in, the dispatch by get
ting the INSURANCE tags at the
window and filling them out be-
forehand.
The parcel post feature has be-
come recognized as of great
assistance to the shipper of small
parcels. One pound can be shipped
anywhere in the first or second
zones for SC. The second zone COM
prizes any town within radius of
$50 miles of Ely. In the first and
second zones, as high as so pounds
can be mailed providing the parcels
are kept within the prescribed size
limit. 20 pounds can be mailed to
any of the other zanes at one time.
The first and second zone rates are
five cents for the first pound and

Now is the Accepted Time

On the second page of this issue
will be found the opening chapters
of the thrilling mystery play, The
Trey O. Hearts" which will begin
the series at the Elco Theatre next
Thursday. The story will be pub
lished complete in the Miner and
the chapters will be just one week
ahead of the pictures at the theatre.
In connection with the beginning
of the story, the Miner has sent
out this week a large number of
sample copies and it would please
us greatly if you could see your
way clear to become a regular SUBJ
scriber.
In addition to a good serial story
weekly, The Trey O. Hearts"
being the present feature in the
serial line, the Miner contains other
features weekly that will appeal to
the reader. The state news feature.
the sport feature and several other
special articles are weekly contri-
buttons besides the local news.
We do not go much on the sensa-
tional and slanderous stuff contri-
buted by string friends to the daily
press but try to get matters as
straight as is possible. Send in

ton and we will send you a receipt

American will be a producer of
iron ore as we'll as graphite. The
Lucky Boy-Anderson property is
the making of a mine, according to
excellent authorities. The Onah-
man Iron company is developing
splendid prospect.
AS stated in the foregoing, big
business men look forward to un-
equaled prosperity. 1t is a condi-
tion which is inevitable, with
Europe flooding our markets with
orders for everything from steel to
mackinaw coats and knit socks.
BUT that is not all, nor even the
more important, perhaps. Advices
from all over the country show that
normal domestic business. unaffect-
ed by war stimulus, is also begin
ming to thrive.
A complete list of the orders
which have come to the United
States on account of the war has
not been compiled, but the follow
ing will give the reader some idea
OF the millions which they repre-
sent, and everybody will under
stand what great impetus they will
give to business conditions in this

Search Unsuccessful

A large crew of men spent all last
week at BURNSIDE lake in an en-
deavor to locate the bodies of the
three men drowned while crossing
the lake in a canoe during the storm
of November 16. Sunday the crew
was increased and an attempt
was made to raise, the bodies with
dynamite. An entire box of the
explosives was shot at various
places in the lake but without sue
cess.
w. c. Keefe of Morton, Mimi.
represented the state game and fish
commission at the search and super
intended the shooting of the lake.
Mr.. Keefe was to ship all fish
killed during the blasting to ST..
Paul but not enough were injured
to make this an object. He was
very much impressed with the
thoroughness of the search for the
missing men. He remained in the
city until Tuesday to supply those
wishing to retain moose or venison
with tags and disposed of large
number. In conversation with a
Miner representative, Mr.. Keefe
was of the opinion that the game
and fish laws needed revision. He
is an uncle of Miss Florence Keefe
who formerly was teacher in the
Ely schools and who is now happily
married and residing at Morton.

One hundred and twenty five hands
are employed.
Duluth Diamond Calk Horseshoe
company was offered tempting con-
tract, but owing to current de-
mands on its facilities was unable
to accept it, and make delivery ac-
cording to requirements.
The foregoing is but a partial
list of the food of orders which are
coming to this country from the
warning nations, and which will
let loose a vast movement of gold
to the benefit of this country.
For example, the Studebaker cor
poration's S orders for vehicles and
other equipment is reported at a
total of 5,O00,0Oo. Kenosha,
Wis. and Jackson, Mich, also
came in for substantial orders for
automobiles. Huge orders for
ammunition, not included in the
foregoing list, have been placed in
Boston, New Haven, Bridgeport,
Pittsburgh and Alton. Boston
alone is called upon for S1S,00O,-
900 worth. A Hartford concern
has an order for gun making tools,
amounting to 81 500, 900.
Eight weeks ago Charles Schwab,
president Bethlehem Steel, said
that conditions in the iron and
steel business are the worst 1
have ever seen. =
Returning from Europe to the
United States, short time ago,
when he declared; [ look for ten
years of unequaled prosperity in
the United States.
In addition to that cheerful fore
cast he brought back orders from
Great Britain and France for $780,
600, 900 worth of steel and kindred
products. The orders will be
divided among plants other than
the Bethlehem. as that corporation
could handle but a moderate part
of the total with any kind of
despatch.
Copper, lead and zinc are gradu-
ally advancing in prices. Ameri-
can Telephone and Telegraph re-
ports traffic at the average for last
year. and showing healthy growth.
The enthusiasm with which for
mer pessimists are joining in the
reception to the return of pros
perity is almost explosive. Every
body will have their coats off in
1915.
