CURTIS LOSES
TO KETONEN

Grand Forks, N. D., March 2S.-
Waino Ketonen of Duluth defeated
Loren Curtis of Grand Forks here aft
er one of the greatest wrestling
matches ever staged in the northwest,
curtis won the first fall in 361A min
utes but Ketonen came back and won
the second and third falls in IL and 20
minutes respectively. 1t was a great
victory for the Duluth man and the
Duluth fans who took the long trip to
Grand Forks will go home loaded with
Grand Forks money. r. B. Liggett of
Duluth. ("Bruce"), sporting editor of
The Duluth Herald, refereed the
match.
The people of this city were Curtis
crazy and after Curtis victory over AL
Francis Of st. Paul, believed him un-
~beatable. Curtis is a great wrestler
but ketonen is q greater one. Despite
the fact that he was ~outweighed sew
eral pounds, ketonen showed himself
TO be the best man at all stages and
after the first fall went after Curtis
like a mad
!, The opening fall came as a surprise
20 everybody in the house. Ketonen
was caught by surprise in a hammer
lock and his shoulders went to the
mat after 36h minutes of hard and
fast work. ~
1t was right here that Ketonen on
ened up with his whole repertoire of
holds and tricks for the first time
since he has come to the northwest,
TuEtis seemed hewildered by the
lightning in which the Duluth
boy slipped first from one hold to n
other and in just IL minutes the ref
cree slapped the Finn on the back,
Inc third fall was bitterly contest
ed, but Ketonen kept out of danger
aud opened up with more Of his STUFF
every minute. After 10 minutes of
wrestling, Ketonen got what looked
IKE a dangerous wrist lock on Curtis.
The latter made a great effort to GET
out of it and Ketonen worked one of
the prettiest pieces of wrestling that
mas ever been pulled off.
Slowly relaxing his wrist hold Ke-
tonen led Curtis to think that the hold
could be broken and the Dakota how
u all his strength into the effort.
Suddenly Ketonen let go of the wrist
hold and before Curtis could guard
himself the Duluth boy had clamped
on a hammerlock and head scissors
AFTER the match Curtis declared that
ketonen can beat any middleweight in
the world. ~

Winona, March 2S.-Lefty Davis, on
a scouting trip through Wisconsin and
Illinois writes the local management
from Winowac, Wis, that he is on the
trail Of a first rate catcher. who he

player in question belongs TO Chas.
Moll, owner Of a Wisconsin, Illinois

Davis says that he will probably be
able to land him for the Winona club.
Besides the catcher in question, Lefty
has several other players under sur
VCilance, whom he thinks would make
good with the Winona team.

mrs. CANTILLON
Laid TO REST

ST. Joseph, Mo, March 28.-Mem-
bers Of the Minneapolis ball club gave
little thought to the national game
yesterday. Their uniforms were not
taken off the hooks in the clubhouse
at League park.
With the members of the ST. Jo-
seph club, the Millers attended the
funeral of Mrs. Joe Cantillon. Eight
of Manager Joe's men bore the body
of his wife to it's final resting place.
1t was the saddest duty they ever per-
formed for their beloved boss.
Funeral at 10 a. m.
The funeral was held at 10 a. m.
from the home of ]. G. Elliott. the
dead woman's brother.
From early yesterday until late last
night there was a steady stream Of
messengers from the downtown dis
trict to the Elliott home bearing floral
tributes from the Cantillon's host of
friends. st. Joe florists were almost
swamped filling orders that had been
t~elegraphed from all parts Of the coun-
try.
The orders came from Minneapolis,
Chicago, New York. San Francisco,
New Orleans, Washington and other
cities. The names signed to che mes
sages would make a good foundation
for a blue book of baseball.
Among the names were those Of
Charles A. Comiskey of the White
Sox; Thomas C~hivington, president Of
the American associations; presidents
and managers of all the clubs in the
associations; big officials Of the Ma
tional and American leagues and dig
nitarieS from many Of the minor
leagues. Minneapolis and st. Joe
players added their quota and lifelong
personal friends of Mr.. and Mrs. Can
tillon sent their last tokens of esteem.
Minus their manager, the Millers
went through two quiet practice ses-
sions Yesterday. No one has men
toned baseball to Joe since the death
Of his wife. All day yesterday he kept
a steady vigil at the Elliott home.
Had Two Workouts.
The players held a quiet consulta-
ton in the morning at the Metropole
hotel and decided it would be better
all around to hold practice than do
nothing. The day was beautiful for
the work and the men put in about an
hour in the morning and another in
the afternoon.
Mike Cantillon arrived in ST. Joe
Yesterday morning and now is in &C
tive charge Of the team. He will take
Joe's Ilace until the brother is ready
to resume his work. E. J. Archam-
bault and wife of Milwaukee came for
the funeral.
Joe Lake I%ndisposed.
All the players are in tip-top shape
with the exception Of Joe Blake. He
has been feeling poorly for several
days but will be able to attend the
funeral.
Baseball will be resumed tomorrow
and the Miller will play the Local
team. Another game is on the boards
for Sunday. Lou Fiene has organized
a Yannigan team and it will stage a
few games with the rest OF the MilIers
next week.

John Brown began to "snuff coke

in a big bank. His salary was $500 a

First to Use SEWING Machine.

There. you are the first woman in
this world who ever took a stitch on
"a sewing machine" Howe said to
Miss Kilbourn when at his invitation
she tried the machine. Miss Elizabeth
Kilbourn, now over eighty years old,
was then teacher in private school
in New Hartford, and was interested
in Elias Howe's inventive work. She
is at present ill in Connecticut hos
pital. Elias Howe was very poor in
those days and sharpened knives and
did odd jobs for living in his base
ment shop. When he had perfected his
sewing machine he went to Bridge
port, and shortly afterward Wheeler
and Wilson moved there from Water
town. Conn, and the three combined,
and Howe died rich.

NapoIeon's Last Hope Crushed.

One hundred years ago Napoleon,
surrounded by few of his marshals
who still remained faithful, was in bit
ter meditation at Fontainebleau. APP
parently he realized for the first time
that detection and opposition were
getting too strong for him. When he
learned that the allies had captured
Paris he gave way to the whole fury of
his Corsican temperament. But his
indomitable spirit was not yet crushed.
Despite the discouraging outlook he
nourished a faint hope that he might
recapture the city and regain his
throne. To gain time to work out his
plans he sent two of his marshals with
an offer to abdicate in favor of his
son, the young king of Rome. This
offer was rejected without ceremony
by the allied sovereigns, who had al
ready agreed upon the restoration of
the Bourbons.
