Secretary Farrell Awards Dan
Mcclellan to Topeka Club.
He and Monroe Are Cream OF
Tri-State Circuit.

With the announcement made TINS
morning to the effect that Secretary
Farrell has awarded Dan McGeehan'
formerly with the Tri-State league to
Topeka, every member of Jimmy
Jacksons squad was aroused TO tne
fact that only the fittest will survive
the pruning knife, and that there VIII
be competitions for every position on
the team.
Thursday afternoon the announce
nnent that Ed Monroe, also of the TT
State, would be in Topeka IN re"
days brought home the fact to eaten
ers Murphy and Tonneman that the
cinch grip on their jobs had oeeIl
broken and that the only way Iney
can remain on the pay roll is to denver
the goods in a more satisfactory man
ner than Monsieur Monroe. And now
baltimore and the other WouldDe can
didates for the keystone position are
cognizant of having man with d
reputation to buck against
Mcclellan is said to be the real
stuff without alloy and to be heady,
hard working player. Last season ne
led the Tri-State league in long hits'
made a batting average of .3Ol ana
fielding per cent of .944. He is credlt-
ed with 26 two base hits, II three oase
hits and four home runs monroe aISo
was we'll up in the record figures. He
was second in the league in fielding
per cent. He worked in II games and
secured 366 putouts, 100 assists ana
made only 10 errors
Both Monroe and Mcclellan have
been ordered to report at once and
will be here by the first of the week.
The First Yannigan.
Friday afternoon fully 200 fans
were out to see the yam yannigan af-
fair in spite of the fact that the old
windmill in the north was running at
full speed.
The game was rather a one-sided
affair, the regulars taking the big end
of the II to l score. There was ont
much difference between the batting
of the Colts and that of the Regulars,
but the regulars did better work in
the field and made less errors by an
even half dozen.
Sanford, Dashner, Grover, Weide-
man and Bell worked in the box, each
of the first four named pitching two
full innings before retiring. Sanford
got strikeouts, Dashner 4, Grover 1,
and Weidman and Bell saved their
twisters for warmer day. Franken
hoff and Roche both got a three bag
ger and Bill Rapps drove out lone
some two-bagger-

WIN WITH NOODLE.
johnson Thinks Experience
Will Help Defeat Willard.
Negro Expects to Win Monday
in a Few Rounds.
(By Ed. w. Smith.)


Havana. April SACK johnson
thinks he will win from Jess Willard
Monday and that he will win quickly
johnson feels so sure of it he has
ceased worrying at all. In a private
interview with two newspaper friends
Jack made it plain that there is no
doubt in his mind that he will be re-
turned the winner.
Come out in the morning when no
body is around and see me rubbed
down. he said. The rubbers went at
him after his road work and were
with him fully an hour and a half. 1t
was plain from the treatment given
into shape rather than work off the
flesh that is hard to shake Vaseline
is used freely on the big black, almost
a pint daily being massaged in. This
he thinks is soothing to the muscles
and keeps them pliable and free. 1t
never occurred to him that vaseline
might be flesh builder.
You didn't like my work yester-
day, eh?" said johnson. Il am in
good shape just the same and am
thoroughly satisfied with my condi-
ton. Feel what you say is fat. It's
firm isn't it? That shows that 1 am
in good shape
The Same Old Speed.
I'm all right and capable of go
ing at the same old speed. What
makes me so sure that L will win is
just this: Willard hasn't the expert
ence to cope with an old timer like me.
1 will make him do everything he
doesn't want to do. I know he doesn't
like to be tented and 1 will give him
an overload of that right from the
start. I wouldn't be surprised if 1 win
in a few rounds.
jess is strong, you say. 1 don't
know that he is, but I'll bet you some
thing that he isn't as strong as either
Sam McVey or Denver Ed Martin, the
strongest men L ever met. Willard has
what 1 call fictitious strength and he
doesn't know how to use it. He can't
stand rough usage, I am sure of that.
and this is going to be a rough fight.
big punch is no good unless it is
backed by skill. The fighter with
big wallop must know how to get in
well enough to use it and Willard new
er will get in on me. He is clumsy
and slow and doesn't box we'll. Jess
has lots of weak points for man
fighting for the title.
My friends in the United States
must not worry over my condition. I'll
go as fast ever and be the one
standing up at the finish. Yes, I feel
certain of knockout inside an hour

Il Couldn't BE Done.

Somebody SAID that it couldn't be done.
But ne with chucl1le replied:
That maybe it couldn't, " but he would
be one
Who wouldn't say so Till he'd tried
So he bucked right in, with trace of
grin
On his face. II he worried, be hid it
He started to sing as he tackled the
thing
That couldn be done-and he did it.
Somebody scoffed; "Oh, you'll never
do that
At least no one ever has done it,
But he took off his coat and he took off
his hat,
And the first thing we knew he'd be
gun it.
With a lift of his chin and a bit Of a
grin,
Without any doubling or quiddit.
He started to sing as he tackled the
thing
That couldn't be done-and he did it.
There are thousands who'll tell you it
can not be done,
There are thousands who prophesy
failure;
There are thousands to point out 70
you, one by one,
The dangers that wait to assail you.
But Just buckle in with bit of grin,
Then take off your coat and go to it.
Just start in to sing as you tackle the
thing
That can not be done"-and you'll
do it.

A Boston daily in publishing the story
of a young women in quest of employ
ment told of her experiences in the base
ment salesroom of large department
store. The name of the firm was not
given, but one of the largest concerns in
Boston at once withdrew its advertising
from the paper in question and assigned
as reason for its action the publication
of this article. The newspaper says
that 1.-THE issue involved is the funda-
mental issue CT the freedom of the press
from financial influence" and that view
of it is taken by the governor of Massa-
chusetts, the mayor of Boston, and by
many leading citizens. Gov. Walsh says:
ANY attempt to control the news col
umns of our newspapers by the threat
of loss of advertising revenue is, in
my opinion, an effort to tamper with a
free press and will be severely condemn
ed by the New England public" There
should be even greater condemnation for
newspaper that to compel advertisers
to patronize it threatens them with op-
position, declares them dishonest and ex-
tortionate, and thus reflects upon the en-
tire business community.
