HAYES SHADES O'BRIEN.

Chicopee, March 13.-Groves Hayes
Of Philadelphia had a very slight
shade on Shamus O'Brien Of Albany
in a fast twelve-round bout before
the New Atlas Athletic club in this
city last night. The go was one of
the best ever put on before the mem
bers, the fans enjoying a rare treat
in seeing these two boys together.
While Hayes outgeneraled O'Brien,
the latter deserves credit for his ag
gressiveness, carrying the fight TO
Hayes in practically every round
The Quaker boy blocked nearly all of
O'Brien's hooks and body blows, and
landed heavily with his right to the
body Up to the fifth Hayes con-
tented himself with blocking, seldom
leading, with O'Brien carrying the
fight to him, although no blows We're
landed by either lad. O'Brien got
through Hayes defense in the fifth
and sixth rounds and landed some
rights to Hayes jaw and head.

ASKS $4,000
FOR BRIDGEPORT CLUB
Says That is Half What He Paid
for Park City Franchise.

Bridgeport, March 13.-Owner John
II. Freeman of the Bridgeport base
ball club has come into the open and
told all bidders that the lowest price
for which he will sell the franchise
is $4,000.
Freeman has just returned from a
trip south. He declares the club is
a bargain at his price, which, he says,
is just about half the amount he paid
James II. O'Rourke for the franchise
in 1910.
Freeman says if nobody wants the
club at $4,000, he will again conduct
baseball in Bridgeport.
Meanwhile Secretary Reddy is sign
ing players so that things will run
smoothly if the club is not sold
Pitchers Dick Tuckey and Blossom
Blum have returned their signed con-
tracts. Tuckey is wintering in
Naugatuck, and Blum in RoXborough,
Pa.
Outfielder Billy Hallman writes
that he will be glad to return to
Bridgeport. He threatened to retire
last season, but when spring rolled
around he changed his mind, as most
veterans do. Mailman has a farm
just outside Camden, N. j.

For sheer ferocity and deVillSh
brutality no other contest in ring his
tory ranks with the bout between
Jack Slack and King Cole, which was
fought $50 years ago today, March 10,
1855, at Kingswood, in Gloucester
shire England In those days prize
fighting was itself a brutal, dangerous
sport but the battle between Slack
and Cole was SO devoid of science and
SO regardless OF rules that it does not
deserve to rank as prize fight 1t
was unique and happily so, In pugilis-
tic history
Jack Slack became champion OF
England in 1850 by whipping Jack
Broughton, the father of scientific
pugilism. That was a combat in
which youth and brute strength were
pitted against experience and ring
cunning. and the former, represented
by Slack, was victorious. In the five
years that interviewed before his meet
ing with Cole, Slack had somewhat
improved in his knowledge of pugil-
ism, and had mastered some of the
! crude science of the game.
King Cole was not a pugilist but
| a miner He was brute and a bully,
and had long terroriZed the rough
community in which he lived. In his
quarrels with other miners he always
invited them to go to a remote part
of the pit to settle their differences,
and some of his antagonists never re-
/ turned. He was accused Of having
killed girl and her lover, out Of
| jealousy, but this; crime could not be
| proved
When Slack was touring the coun-
try, giving pugilistic exhibitions, he
received a challenge from this terri
BILE King Cole, whose real name was
Cornelius Harris Jack had no de-
sire to meet the ferocious collier, but
declared he would fight him for $500
side. King Cole promptly replied
| by putting up the money, which rep
: resented years of savings. The miner
had so terrorized the community tina,
he was given food, drink and lodging
free, and SO had been able to save al
his wages.
with the money up, Slack had nc
choice but to fight the challenger
King Cole had never fought in a ring
and was absolutely ignorant Of the
rules made by Broughton to govern
the game. The miners, almost to
man. hoped that the big bully woulc
DC soundly whipped by the pugilist
put for time it seemed that the!
would be disappointed. Probably M
other pugilist In history was eve
called upon to face so ferocious ant
UNFAIR an opponent. King Cole tough
with the desperation Of a devil. IL

TODAY IN PUGIIISTIC ANNALS.

1905-Kid Herman defeated Dave
Sullivan in 8 rounds at Hot Springs,
Ark. This was the last battle Of the
ring career of Sullivan who for about
six weeks in 1888 held the feather
weight championship. His rise and fall
was about tho quickest on record. On
Sept. 26, 1898, the little Irishman
annexed the feathcrweight title by
whipping Solly Smith, the Los Angeles
boy who had become champion by
besting George Dixon about a year
before. On the 18th of the following
November Sullivan fought George
Dixon, and the Chocolate Drop re-
covered his lost honors winning on a
foul in 10 rounds Dave was a sort Of
accidental champion, as 1t is doubtful
If ne would have defeated Smith had
not the latter broken his arm. Dave
was native of Cork and he had
been defeated by Pedlar Palmer, of
England, before he became cham

TRI-STATE OUTLOOK BAD.
Only Three Clubs I'm League Are
Ready TO Start Season.

Allentown, Pa, March 13.-Jack
Castle, who last year managed the AL
lentown Tri-State team, sees a gloomy
outlook for the league this season
Castle said only thAee clubs are pre-
pared to enter the circuit and If there
be Tristate baseball this year the SAL
airy limit will have to be cut at the
most to $1,000 and probably to $1,000.
There is to be meeting in Phila-
delphia, March 10, when the fate of
the league is to be decided.
The directors have received word
from the bank that a 5000 note which
represents the debt of last season is
due next week, and they have made

CONNIE SAYS FANS
WILL FORGET BAKER
Mack Believes He Should Worry
About Third BaScman.

Jacksonville. Fla, March 13.-Con
ME Mack is not worrying about the
alleged retirement of J. Frank Baker,
the Trappe, Md, mauler, and in an
interview expresses the opinion that
he could be replaced if he made good
on his retirement.
HAS Baker communicated with
you since his ultimatum that he had
retired?' Mack was asked.
mo, l haven't heard a line from
him. I'm off Baker and he should
know it by this time. Certainly I
would like to see him back in the
lineup, but T have done all in my
power to bring him around.
Not Money Question.
"You see a lot in print these days
about it being a money question with
him. Why, the latest yarn 1 heard
was to the effect that Baker said he
would play ball again if some club
would give him $4,000 year salary.
If ne is waiting for this, then 1 don't
think he will play in the big leagues.
Baker never brought up the money
question with me. l won't believe
he is trying a hold-up game until he
tells me personally that it is a ques-
should be the case Baker will get the
greatest call he has ever had in base
ball.
Can Be Replaced.
Il am not counting on him. He
is not so wonderful that he cannot be
replaced Any one, no matter how
good he is, can be replaced in bust
ness or baseball The fellow who
thinks he is so good that they can't
get along without him is mistaken.
1t may take little time, but the right
fellow comes along sooner or later
Mack then pointed to Sammy Nc
Connell, the recruit infielder, who was
nearby, and in semi-serious tone
said:
They will forget there ever was a
Baker when that little fellow comes
through and fills his place. Baker
would look good with us, but we will
be out there at Shibe Park just the
same if he should stick to MS retire
ment.'
A. number of players have written
letters to Baker at his farm in
Trappe, Md, but as yet no replies
have been received.

KfNNEY'S MANAGER
BALkS AT ARTICLES
Eddie keIChcl May Meet Another al
Boxing Show Here April Z.

Some doubt as TO whether Frank
kenney of Hartford win bo Eddie
Ketchefs opponent in this city on
April 2 has been caused 10y the de-
clination of Samuel Carlisle, manager
of Kenney. to sign articles presented.
TO him by "Tippy" Fay
Carlisle, Fay and Jack James,
KetcheTs manager. met yesterday af-
ternoon and talked over the situation.
The articles as presented by Fay
were read by the others and James
said he was willing to sign. Carlisle
baked over one clause. He didn't like
line stating that each of the con-
testants was to box to the best OF his
ability or run the risk of forfeiting
his share of the wad. Carlisle
seemed to think that something was
being put over on him but according
TO James, that clause is in every we'll
regulated set of articles as the pro-
moter must protect himself. James
read the articles and was ready TO put
his John Hancock at the bottom but
Carlisle declined He took copy
of the articles away with him and
said he would have his man look theW
over.
Jimmy Taylor Arrives.
Jimmy Taylor, who meets Young
Marine in fifteen round bout at
Turner hall next Tuesday night, ar
rived in town yesterday and had
workout in the afternoon in Hadleys
hall. He went through shadow box
ing, skipped the rope and then waded'
into his sparring partner and local
amateur for two or three rounds each.
Taylor is a chunky sort OF an in
dividuaI and must come down bit
if he wants to box at the advertised
weight. He appears TO have consider
able avoirdupois more than Is called
for in the announcement of the show
but of this weight there lis not an
ounce OF fat He is bundle of
muscles from the tip OF his toes to
his scalp and unless Marine can
stand plenty of punishment, which
they say he can, Silvey Burns pro-
tege Will have things pretty much his
own way.
While in town yesterday Carlisle,
kenney's manager. told a Herald man
that he was ready 20 put kenney,
Red" Ames OF Hartford or Kid
Thompson of Holyoke against any
men of their weight in this state.
Kenney and Ames scale at about las
pounds and Thompson at about 1873.

AnaeI d tha aattIefleId.

Mrs. Maria Magee of Tipperary, who
Is, according to records, the second
Oldest Crimean veteran of her sex In
the world, was one of the veterans
present at the coronation dinner Civ
en- In Belfast. She has been in the
firing line in many hard fought ans
historic battle. and has soothed the
last moments OF scores Of British
soldiers dying in foreign lands. She
Travelled with her husband through
India. Egypt. New Zealand and the
Mediterranean stations. Asked what
her &C., were when in the thick
Of tn ing with the bullets
rhistllrA ound. Mrs Magee said:
Il didf think OF it, I was looking
after he poor wounded fellows
Everyone was shouting for his moth
er. or his wife. OF lis children That's
what the dying soldier always cries
tor and he loves to send them a las.

The Parma herald. (Parma, Idaho) 1903-1917, 1915-04-08

"Once to every man and ma.
tioh comes the moment to decide.
in the cause OF Truth and Error,
Tor the good or evil side" For
tunate or otherwise, it has been
our prCvli ce to be mixed more
or less intimately for a lifetime
10 the realm Of politics. And,
looking back through the years,
there is one fact that stands out
above every other, and that is
the ingratitude and the incon-
slstence OF the people. No two
men ever went into Office with a
higher sense ofduty, and great
or desire to serve the people Of
their state than John M. Haines
and M. Alexander and no two
men ever met with more abuse
and utilization. No trupr man
ever sat in the Idaho guberna-
torial chair than John NJ. Haines.
Unfortunately for himself and
the people OF Idaho. he was sur.
rounded with hirelings of preda-
tory wealth. He was bound hand
and foot with Boise capital.
The banks OF Boise never even
gave him a chance to make good.
What do you know about a ma
tional bank being fined for vio-
Iating "a criminal statute? And
that is exactly what happened IN
Boise the other day. And the
bank pleaded guilty and paid
the fine. The unmerited penalty
fell on Governor Haines And
Governor Alexander is getting
the same dose. The people OF
Idaho wanted economy. They
gave us Alexander for economy,
and a republican legislature to
prevent anything along that
line. Along with Alexander they
gave us Barker and Peterson.
Frankly, the Herald expected
Barker to make good, Barker
was trained in the newspaper
line, and ought to have been
right. However, he is just about
as efficient Ms a mans teat. And
he doesn't know enough to en-
pIoy a stenographer to keep the
"E'' off the end Of veto. But, as
we said before. the Inconsistency
aud the ingratitude of the peo
Pile will make Alexander pay the
penalty, just as they made
/ Hainaa do H. And lfa all WRONG.
