Russian forces from Przemysl are rein forcing troops which for weeks past have been striving to carry the Carpathian passes in the face of stern opposition by the Austrians and Germans. The pres ence of one Przemysl division on the Car pathian front is noted in the Austrian official communication
 That this is struggle of the greatest importance. the result of which will lex ercise strong effect on the entire stua- ton,i' is pointed out by Major Moraht, military critic of the Berlin Tageblatt, who adds "The supreme army command has grounds enough for employing all dis possible forces to avert Russian irrup- ton into the Hungarian plains

NEW YORK, May 22-Lawmakers
planning TO enact statutes permitting
boxing would do well to pay a visit
to the Atlantic feet and learn how
the great little game of fstcuffs is con-
Quoted in the navy. Boxing promot-
ers who want to stage real fights also
would do well to make similar trips.
And Old General Public. if he wants
TO see regular scrap, should look
up the date of the next championship
fight in the navy and engage himself
a ringside seat. He'll see a fight that
is a fight.
New York got a demonstration of
boxing as il should be when the At
lantic fleet visited the big town re-
Gently. Two OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
and light heavyweight-were decided
in one afternoon. Sam Taylor, of the
Michigan, lambasted NJ. Davis of the
New Hampshire, for the light heavy
weight title The featherweight belt
went to Dennis Whalen of the Michi-
gan. who whipped Joe Fisher of the
South Carolina
There are many peculiar features
about boxing bouts in the navy. In
the first place they are limited TO six
rounds. The rounds are of but two
minutes duration instead of three as
in most professional bouts in Amer
lea. There are decisions but they are
not given by the referee. Two judges
officers selected from other ships
sit at the ringside and decide upon
the winner.
Championships are big things in
the navy. They are previously guard
ed and they are we'll regulated. A
champion has tc defend his title on
thirty days notice. No rabbits" can
get by as champions in the navy.
They've either got to fight or give up
the title.
II more than one challenger ap-
pears on the horizon At the same time
| elimination bouts are held TO deter
mine who shall meet the champion.
A regular belt goes with the cham
pionship in each class. In addition
to this a $50 purse is hung up at
every fight.

MORE Than MUSCLE
TO BASEBALL GAME
Great Athletes Not Players,
Passing of Thorpe
Proves
WAS CHAMPION
OF ALL CHAMPS

That a great athlete cannot neces-
sarily become a skillful baseball play
er has been shown rather conclusive
" in the recent release of Jim Thorpe
TO Jersey City club of the Internation-
al league. The American game, it
would appear, has a whole lot more
to II than an exposition of brawn
and MUSCLE for Thorpe was no dwarf.
Thorpe" says a writer, the great
est athlete America ever produced
the man who was honored by the King
OF Sweden-after two years Of effort
has not been able to make good as a
regular on the New York Giants. He
was the fastest runner on the club,
with the possible exception Of Hans
Lobert: he was the strongest of mus
Gle by far; he was the best wrestler;
he had a swing that could throw a
weight farther than any man on the
club. and he could outjump any mem
Der Of the team by many inches. Still,
Thorpe was not a ball player. That
is. not the kind McGraw must have.
Jim Thorpe, the champion OF all
athletes, could not be depended on to
hit a ball in a pinch, and he could
not be counted on 10 capture a fly ball
. hit far over his head. Neither could
he be absolutely accurate in throwing
to the plate. Why?
Our best is that Thorpe's mind was
not of the peculiar calibre necessary
TO outguessing a pitcher while at bat,
and he was not I'm the game often
enough TO develop coordinate
thought with the runner he was try
ing to advance. As pitcher-re-
member, he went TO the Giants as a
pitcher-he was not strong enough,
or cunning enough of arm TO fool an
old Lacquer. so McGraw tried to turn
him into an outfelder. After two
years of infinite patience the Giant
manager has turned the remarkable
aehlete who is known in foreign coun-
tries where Christy Mathewson. or
Larry Doyle was never heard of over
to Jersey City TO see If continuous
work will develop him George Wiltse
may bring out the latent qualities,
but that remains TO be seen.
"This experiment with Thorpe
means and II is a question, that has
been discussed among athletes for
years, that a topnotch athlete is not
uVltrchln9 a hdiihAo9tit ohN 'hnN
ballplayer is not necessarily general
athlete The making Of a diamond stai
requires a mental quality more than
mere physical ability.
'McGraw tried Thorpe as a regu-
lar at the beginning of this season
figuring that he was ready now or
would never be- Occasionally the In
dian could hit the ball a mile but more
frequently he would strike out He
apparently lacked the baseball in
stinct which. strangely enough, is pos
sessed IN large quantities by even
runts who are not strong OF muscle
and who could not win an athletic
prize TO save their lives.
"The. only thing left is for Thorpe
TO feel his way as a regular. II he
can do better by working every day
McGraw will give him a chance at the
end OF the season. II he cannot he

world who could not win a berth OF

Death of a Pioneer Citizen.

Mr.. John i. Her died Saturday.
Feb. 6, at the home of his youngest
son, V. B, Tier, in Paducah, Ky.
The deceased was born at Posini
in Ohio County, Kentucky, AnS. 10,
1927. In his early life he moved to
Obion County near this city. 1t was
quite interesting in his life to hear
him tell of the formation of Union
City as town, he having known
this location when it was a complete
forest and witnessed the first logs
cut and rolled over our present
town site. He made this county his
home until about twenty years ago
when he moved to Ballard County,
Kentucky. He lived in Ballard until
about six years ago and then moved
to Paducah.
He has been in feeble health for
several years due to the infirmities
of old age. About year ago, when
he thought death was near, he made
the request that his remains be
brought to Salem for burial. He
professed faith in Christ in his
younger life, and in his old age he
was a close student of the bible.
The deceased lived a true Mason
for IS years and was greatly loved
by his fellowmen.
Mr.. Her is survived by three sons,
w. L. Her, of Evansville, Ind, G. P.
Her, of Crystal, Tenn, and V. B.
Her, of Paducah, besides several
grandchildren and one great grand
child.
The remains were brought here
early Monday morning and then TAX
en- to Salem church where Rev. H. H.
Drake, of the First Baptist Church
of this city, in most beautiful
manner conducted the funeral serv-
ices. The Masons took charge of the
burial. The sacred ceremonies of
the order were read by Mr.. John
Hef1ey, of Woodland Mills.
Thus sleeps one of the first set
tiers beneath beautiful floral offer
ings of loving friends.

rived too late for the funeral on &C

Road Drainage.

1t will not make much difference
what kind of roads we build if we
do not have the proper drainage, land
one of the methods of drain is tC
put in sub drainage, one main with
arms every rod, capped with gravel
and running to the ditch, or two
parallel lines in road bed from ten
to twenty feet apart, owing to the
width of the road. This will drain
any kind of road, and no road will
hold without drainage. The next
plan is to raise the bed of the road
with twenty feet of land on one side
and a ditch on the other feet
deep and 10 feet wide, dumping all
the dirt out of the ditch on the road
bed; then subdrain in the ditch and
cap with tile and porous soil. Then
we are ready for any kind of a road
the majority wants.
This is the plan for black bottom
land, which will give a gray cap
ping, the best for winter. Third,
let every farm take it's own water,
unless the farmer takes it into a
private ditch, and this places the re-
sponsibility for caving where it be-
longs.
Now, we have an old chimney
corner road law, which does not pro-
vide for the proper transfer of land
FOR road purposes, and then after
some years and change of ownership
he lines of the road are obliterated
md more land for road is needed
md more money for the same.
am trying to make three points:
First, drainage; second, drainage;
bird, drainage; fourth, public own
.rship of the roadway, with deed
executed and recorded.
