appeared to hit him in the stomach, but
an examination by the doctor after
wards showed that he had been hit in
the groin. The late Malachy Hogan was
referee at that time and gave the dec1s-
ion to Mcfarland, principally on the
knockout scored by Packey in the
fourth round.
WOISnst Spoiled His Chances.
It was practically the same with
Wolgast and Richie, and as long as the
referee decided that the blow was fair
and gave Richie the credit OF a clean
knOcl1dOWn. it was sufficient to give
the champion a shade decision. Vol
CAST spoiled his chance of winning the
fight on q foul in case it had been so
decided by the clubs doctor when he
arose and resumed the contest without
any apparent protest. Had he asked the
referee for an examination at the time.
the matter would have been settled
then and there. but he did not and as
result the dispute which followed was
made possible.

the big American assault on the Brit

another Of the enterprising moves by
American athletes in. quest of world
wide hOnOrs 1t is considered by ex-
perts throughout the country as a very
wise move and it is only to be re-
GREETED that Frank OUimet the young

selling their stars to the major
lcaguers. In this way some of the
Class "A teams have cleaned up
from $4,000 to $4,000 a year
VIII offer Husky Salaries.
But at the end Of the 1914 season
it's a certainty that the Feds will
offer the star minor leaSuers j
mighty husky looking salary The
Feds don't have to pay for a player
that they get from the minors. The
organized majors do. 10 minor league
club will let a star player go to the
majors for anv price less than $4,000
to $4,000 Suppose the Feds come
along and offer that player $1,000 a
year for three years. That means the
total they will have to pay viii be
only $4,000, whereas. the total the
organized major would nave to pay
would he a bid in excess of $1,000 for
three years in addition to the $4,000
or $4,000 And that means also,
that the minor league magnate will be
out the market value OF each star that
jumps from his club to the Feds.
In face Of these facts does anyone
think that organized baseball viii be
forced to do anything else within the
next months or so than to recog-
nize the Feds as major leaSuers and
offer them the chance to become part
and parcel of organized baseball?
Many baseball sharps contend there
is no room for a third big league
Perhaps there is-and perhaps there
isn't. The 1914 season ought to solve
the problem. If there is room for
the third big league the Federal
league can continue to operate as a
separate circuit even after 1t is taken
into organized baseball. And II there
isn't room the solution of the prob
lem seems to be in forming two big
leagues Of u clubs.

The men were alone at the time and are said to have both been drinking. Tate was taking Goodin home. Goodin assigns no cause for the deed except that he had to kill Tate in self defense. He shot him three times at close range with a re- volver, the shots taking effect in his right arm, neck and breast.
 The two men had been togeth- CT all evening and are said to have been drinking at different places around town. They had

 Immediately after the shoot ing a coroner's jury was sum- moned. It returned a verdict to the effect that Tate came to his death by a shot from a pis- tol held in the hand of William Goodin. Goodin was bound over to await the action of the grand jury, which meets at the next term of the Izard circuit court.
 Goodin is married and has several children. Tate was 9 years old, and married, with one child. When the news of his death was broken to his young wife, her grief was pitiful.

Mrs. Margaret P. \. BOyce.

Inc news Of the death of Mrs. Margaret Boyce, which occurred Monday morning at 12:15, brought sorrow to the hearts of her many friends, many of whom did not know that she was seriously i'll. Mrs. Boyce had been an invalid for long time but 1t was not until last Tuesday that she became worse and was confined to her bed. A very weak heart with general debil- ity was the cause of her death.
 Mrs. Boyce was born in Vir- 'ginia, October, 1880, being S3 years old. In her early woman hood she moved to Marion coun- ty, Missouri, where she lived for number of years, when she and her husband came to Arkansas in 1883, locating near Kenyon, where the deceased's husband died. From Kenyon the family moved to Jacksonport and later to Newport, where they have lived for twenty-one or two years.
 Mrs. Boyce was devout Christian, life long member of the Methodist church, and the funeral service which will be held at the family home Tues day morning at 10 o'clock, will be conducted by her pastor, Rev. B. L. Milford and a former pas tor, Rev. M. B. Umsted. Burial will follow at Walnut Grove, where the body will be laid be- side that of the beloved husband and daughter.
 In the passing away of Mrs. Boyce the city has probably lost it's oldest citizen, one who has lived not only to a ripe old age, but a life filled with usefulness and good deeds. Few there were who knocked at her door for help who went away empty handed. Of a broad Christian spirit she was ready at all times to recognize the spark of good that lay in the hearts of any whom the world would be ready to criticise. Although unable to attend services at her church, she kept up her interest in it's work and societies, always feel ing a keen interest in it's affairs.
 Only one near relative, a son, Judge E. L. Boyce, with whom the deceased had made her home for the past several years, sur wives her and to him, his wife and little son, Edwin, this death comes as a great sorrow into their home. The sympathy of our people is extended to the be- reft ones.
