The Ohio Turnover.

cleveland Plain Dealer)
James NJ. Cox polled 54,044 more
votes for governor in 1914 than he did
in 1912. Two years ago he received
42.3S per cent of the total vote.
This year he received 43.63 per
cent of the total. The official

ton. They show that in 1914 the fol-
lowing vote was cast for governor:
Frank b. Willis .............. .524,625
James R. Garfield so, 971
Scott Wilkins (Soc) ........... 81 .6SS
Two years ago the results on the
governorship were as follows:
James NJ. Cox 439.323
r. b. Brown (Rep) .......... .272, 500
Arthur l.. Garford .............2 PIT ,903

could not keep the pace with the tre-

the impetus of the Roosevelt example.
More voters by 54,044 approved the
Cox administration than approved the
Cox candidacy when it was presented

here or in Brighton. The contests will be in the nature of International affairs, for two of the contestants will be sons of an American, although born in Paris, and the other two are sons of one of the best known sporting men in England.
 The first named are chips of good old boxing stock. One 'is seven and the other nine. Despite their immaturity they han de the gloves with skill that would do credit to boys of much greater age. Their proud father Is Cyrus Cuneo. now one of the leading black and white artists in England. but originally a San Francisco boy who, with his brother, was prominent In the boxing world of the Golden Gate city when Jimmy and Willis Britt were first attracting attention. Cyrus went to Paris. earned his living a boxer and studied art Now that he is the father of two boys he is determined that they shall acquire thorough knowledge of the art of self-defence before they grow to man. hood. With this praiseworthy end in view, he puts on the gloves with them every afternoon. Although Cuneo now weighs close to 190 pounds. he has lost nothing of his speed and strength over a three-round course, and he does not spare the kids little bit Indeed, recently. l found him using a pair of real four ounce fighting gloves when I called at his stu dio in Hammersmith. and caught him in the middle of set-to with the older boy. Nor do the youngsters spare the "old man." The older boy has a punch like a 13-inch gun and. recently, landed on pa pas" jaw so hard that Cuneo could not eat in comfort for week
 It seems that Eugene Corri. who ref creed the Rtchie- Welsh matcn <. Olym- pia, also has two youngsters who are handy with the gloves, and efforts are now being made to bring the Corri and Cuneo hopefu's together. The mothers in each case are opposed to the matches, but the fathers are as keen as mustard

Swimmer Catches Sea Lion

From the New York Sun.
 Hermosa Beach, Cal.-Diving off the new municipal pier in sight of thousands who had come here to celebrate the opening for a second day. George Freeth, noted Hawaiian swimmer, seized the tail of a young sea lion swim ming in the sea, and after battle that lasted for half an hour hoisted the anil maj into a boat. from which the aston ished occupants sprang into the water in their fright.
 Freeth's left hand and arm were badly lacerated in the struggle and patches of skin were gashed from his legs by the animal, which used teeth and fiippers in a mad fight for freedom. When the three boys. who occupied the boat, climbed aboard again one of them was severely bitten on the leg.
 The municipal pier was crowded with spectators. all interested in the diving and swimming races. when their attention was attracted by the sight of the man and the sea lion struggling in the ocean for supremacy. Freeth is instructor of the Los Angeles Athletic club, and was giving an exhibition of his prowess as q diver when he noticed young sea lion in the vicinity of the small skiff contain ing three young boys.
 Freeth swan out to the skiK from the wharf. He got aboard the boat and awaited an opportunity when the sea lion was close then dived after him and man aged to catch him by the tail.

OLYMPIC MATERIAL SCARCE IN ENGLAND Championship Contests Dis appointing to Britishers TWO GOOD RUNNERS Applegarth Equals Worlds Record for 22O Yards - Anglo-American
 Youngsters May Do
 Fistic Battle
TWO GOOD RUNNERS

London. July 27.-tSpecial)-If one is to judge by the performance put up by British athets at the Amateur Athletic championships held at Stamford Bridge, England has been singulary unfortunate in her search for Olympic material rnd the efforts of Knox, the Canadian train er and his score of assistants have large ly been in vain. It was not so much that the times and distances were inferior to times and distances in the American A. A. A. meet of last year, but rather that, with two exceptions. no English athlete gave any evidence that he would be able to show to advantage at Berin In the fast company that Is sure to be gathered there.
 The two exceptions, of course, are w. R. Applegarth, who won the 100 and 22o, and c. w. Hutson, who also scored a double win in the one and the four mile. Applegarth is undoubtedly one of the greatest sprinters. if not the greatest, Of the day. He Is better at 220 than at the shorter distance. In the former event, as you have probably heard. he equalled the worlds record of 15.1-5 seconds held joint ly by Wefers. Craig and Lippincott, but as the Americans accomplished their time on a straight course and Appegarth did his around two bends of curved track. his is undoubtedly the best performance The only thing that mars 1t is that the timekeepers were not quite sure of the time. In fact it was first announced as l5.2-6, equalling the British record. but after a further conference they changed their minds and decided that the worlds record had been equalled. Of course, this is not very satisfactory way of keeping time. but 1t will probably be passed and the record will stand. It is impossible tc doubt that Applegarth is capable of it and no one on this side would be surpris- ed to see him beat 1t in the near future
 Hutson, although he did not equal any records in the two events he won, is without doubt a splendid and dangerous runner. He Is still a mere boy and as English athlets develop late he Is almos certain to improve for the next three ol four years at least. He should. as a mat ter of fact. be just about his prime ir Berlin. with the careful handling he i' now receiving.
 Among the other English performers tho jumping of B. IT. Baker stands out He cleared six feet. two inches, which is good enough to give even an Olympic gathering struggle. and might in ar of year, even win the event. However, Il was not quite good enough to win against Oler. or the New York Athletic club. who got over half inch more after five un successful tries.
