To Review Case
The Ohio supreme court on Tues
day admitted for review the case OF
the state on the relation of the super
intendent of banks VS.. Frank A. Hills,
formerly connected with the Gambler
Banking Company, of Gambler, Knox
county. The reversal of the Della
ware county common pleas court and
the appellate court is sought In
the liquidation Of the bank, after it
was closed by the state, there was
found note of $4,000, signed by
Hills. Upon this note suit was
brought, but judgment was denied.
The lower courts held to be good sew
eral defenses upon which the su-
preme court will pass finally. 1t ap-
pears that the note was given for the
purpose of being exhibited as an as
set on the books of the bank at the
request of the superintendent OF
banks so that the books of the bank
might stand examination and contin-
ue in business. 1t is claimed that the
note was not given for value receiv-
ed The claim Is made that the note
was given to prevent the prosecution
of the brother of Hills, formerly pres.
ident of the private bank that preced
ed the Gambler Banking Company.
The answer Of Hills, which was
sustained, contended that the agree
ment of the state, through the bank
ing superintendent, was not carried
out and therefore the state was stop

 New York, sept. 22.--It looks as if old King solomon will hay to jump out of, his sepulchre and give us a ruling on the most pcrplexing prem lem of pugilism. to wit: .t
 Who is bantam champion of the world? Ever since that Kid Williams Johnny Ertle bcnt in s.. Paul on Sep- tembsr 10, there's been all sorts of debating over the peculiar question which that bout brought up,
 Williams, who won the title from Johnny Coulon, was disqualified in the fifth round of the Eftle bout for fouling, the fight was stopped and Referae Bar on awarded the fight to Er le. .A The hcyiag laws of Minnesota sp2- eff ally Dar the rendering of dls cis- ions and Barton apparently had no right to rfnder decision. Hcwi:wer, since the bout, the boxing commission has backed up Barton, in this way seemingly overriding itself.
 Ertle, of course, asserts he is the ncw championship seems entitled to the title. But Williams, claiming the prot3cticn of the sta laws-and being justified in doing so-declared he did not lose the fight because no ngs-eXc:rt in cases of knock. outs are permiss ble-and that Bar- ten was assuming au hority he did not have in awarding the fight to Ertle.

How Connie Mack iaile1 Cap Anson

How Connie Mack rolled Cap Anson.
 Once upon time-in the days of long ago-"Cap" Anson hammered a ball over the fence but refused to ad- vancs farther han third base, al- though he was entitled to home run, and his team was thrf,a runs be- hind at the time. Why?
 Well in those days the catcher play d back until there was a man on base. Connie Mack happ ned to be the catcher that day and Whitney was the pitcher for the club opposing the Caicagoans. Anson figured that if he fingered on third, Mack would hays' l.e' move up back of the batter and Whitney would be forced to pitch slower. Anson knew that one run thought that slower pitching might enabl2I his men to s age a batting ral- ly rts.
 However, Connie fciled the shr,:wd Anscn by taking long chance in refusing to mova up until afte: 'Pfeffer had been thrown out at first. Thsn he took up his station back of he batter and Ed Williamson famed, leaving Anson~ strand.id."on third de- spite the fact that he Inad made a home run drive.

 However, BrainIerd had rounded first and was half way to seccnd by that time. Mollwitz was going to throw to second in an attempt to catch Brain2rd when he saw Lobert also dashing for the same bag. Moll- witz, sensing a mixup, held the ball, running with 1t toward second.
