Have They
!. No Churches

We are in receipt of a paper pub
lished at Ashland, Ore. 1t is very
fine piece of work, giving a full ac-
count of the beautiful village, and it
contained pictures of all the promi-
nent BUSINESS and professional men of
the town. We note a well-known
face among its citizens, F. E. Wat
son, who at one time was connected
with the Wells National Bank OF this
village. Mr.. Watson is secretary of
the park commission and has been
one of the men to use his influence
in making Ashland beautiful. We
have only one comment to make
about the edition, and that is there
is not single picture of any of the
churches of the town nor a single
mention about them having any
Wells (Minn.) Paper.
Editors Note.-True, our write
up on Ashland churches, Ashland
schools and general summary OF
Ashland development, along with pic
lures of the schools, churches and a
number of street scenes, we're crowd
ed out. Room could not be made for
them without adding four more
pages. This the Tidings was flnan-
cially unable to do, for 1t would have
cost about 500 more, and the edition
went to press as 1t was with a fifty
dollar loss to the publishers. We
considered exploitation of the springs
and scenery more important, consid
ering the purpose of the publication
and for that reason selected springs
matter and descriptive rather thar
the others.

Langford and McVey Get
Draw After Ten Rounds
at American S. c.
Ry IGOE.

Sam Langford and Sam McVey Will
he Maid for the part they took IN the
first mo tickee-no washee" bout that
New York ever had. The men tried
their level best at the American Sport
inc Club last night, and when they
shook hands at the end OF ten ROUNDS
it was generally voted a good' nara
draw
Sam L. came within an ace OF TOSS
ing off the bout TO Sam McV. Mc'
early speed and darting left JAP nad
Sam L. bewildeTed. He lost a lot OF
ground. but he made 1t up after the
third round. With the beginning OF
the fourth he got to News body ana
Jaw with solid punches that reminded
the fans of the Sam l.. OF long ago:
With this sudden turn OF the tide McN
seemed to hold Sam l.. in too much re-
spect. This over-caution cost the oh-
nard giant the decision, for the bos-
ton man clearly evened up the score
after that.
There were no knockdowns. Once
Sam L. flung himself off his pins wher
he missed a right that would have up
rooted the beets out in Oxnard had II
landed. As it was Sam came cropper
on all fours. He was up all smiles IN
jig time.
In the eighth round Sam l.. almost
dropped his Colorado Maduro hued Zoe
with a smashing right to the Jaw
McV. was stung to his toes, and wnen
he laughed as the bell came to ms
rescue it was plain that he was hurt.
He wasn't any too clipper as he knock
kneed his way to his corner. II was
the Boston mans one chance fer a
knockout. but the bell spoiled II.
A great laugh went up when Sam l..
entered the ring. He wore one of Nine.
Butterhys cast-of kimonos. weird
effect in pink and green posies. Sam
kept the robe on until the bell rang,
too. for let it be known that he is
terribly annoyed about the unathletic
width Of his girth. The truth of the
matter is, BostoL's colorado athlete
has grown considerably to seed so far
as his middle is concerned. Sam no
longer boasts of g.. perfect 3S figure.
McVey seemed to be in splendid condi-
tion. He didn't have an ounce of ex-
cess weight about him.
Charley White refereed. "Old Eagle
Eve" got a real Tammany sendoif

He was as happy as a schoolboy, nov
that he had his old job back again.
He made the men travel at a terrific
pace. He broke them IN the instant
and then sent them back for more.
One thing was uncovered in this fight
of last night Sam Langford has lost
his old punch. The once famed bone
crusher" has dwindled down to nero
marshmallow denter. Of course, he
was fighting perhaps the cleverest big
man in the ring last night. McVey was
never around when Sam LIS whizzihg
punches flew through the air. Toward
the end. when McVey seemed to tire.
he came down to where Sam l.. lived.
Then il was that Langford spread his
legs and walloped away in his old-fash-
ioned way.

ten-round bout at the Broadway Sport

tributed to the spectators which will
admit them to the next show OF the

their disappointment when Jimmy Cap
