Eagle Grove Eagle: when thinking
of candidates for governor in 1916 why
not think of ex-Congressman Birdsall,

Governor Of Colorado.
DENVER, Colo, Jan. 12.-Violence
in disputes between capital and Ia
Dor Will henceforth not be tolerated
by Colorado. This was the warning
sounded today by Governor George
A. Carlson, in his inaugural address.
Capital and labor clasp hands"
the governor declared. I'm this era
OF civilization, neither capital nor
labor should go back to the dark
ages to get weapon with which to
carry their point Henceforth Colo
RADIO Will not tolerate It."
The new governor gave great at
tention to the discussion for bills
for the establishment Of an industrial
commission for the settlement OF Ia
Dor disputes and providing for work
mems compensation, which he Is adj
vocating. and touched upon the re-
cent bloody coal strikes.
Our own state government has
acquiesced In the widening breech
between capital and labor" he de-
clared, "and has made but feeble pro-
test for the inestimable damage done
the state by the recurring and violent
disputes.
The time has now come when
Colorado must cease being merely q
negative force. Our state govern
ment must come to positive and
vital agency TO harmonic our an
tagonistic industrial forces; an
agency to employer and employee and
compel fair dealing between them"
The governor pointed out that here
tofore the state has stood by and
watched labor disputes become more
and more violent, until finally the
militia was called ont. BY the es-
tablishment Of an Industrial commits
sion he said he believed satisfac-
tory solution would be found through
arbitration.

F. GOTCH NOT THROUGH
WITH WRESTLING GAME
Iowa American Heavyweight
Champion Ready to Meet
Any One With Money.

Frank Gotch, the Humboldt, Ia, farm
er, who incidentally is heavyweight
champion wrestler of the world, will posi-
lively not enter the ring again after he
has wrestled a bit this year. He has
said so himself. Gotch has retired sew
eral times, and the only bait that has
attracted him into the limellght has been
n bit OF easy money In sight.
Gotch is going to wrestle the winner
of the New York Carnival, and It seems
Zbysko will be the man. After that
Gotch will meet others and then retire
again with a goodly amount OF green
backs tucked away in his waistcoat.
Gotch is the, wise old boy in more ways
than one, and the frugal athlete is said
to be worth considerable over 100000.
There is one thing every American adj
mires In him and that Is mis- graciousness
to meet all comers when the occasion
demands. Gotch should worry a whole
lot about the result. With his famous
and unbreakable toe hold working right
he Is the most dreaded opponent in the
world.
Two years ago Gotch retired. Then
Gus Schoenlein (Americus), wonder
fully clever mat man, developed so rap
idly that his hackers felt sure he could
wrest the crown from GOtch's head The
match for the championship of the world
WAS hITdHbtui anu liAS hAN'' 80 - - a,
combat in an arena built at an Orlole
City ball field.
Americus, indeed, showed a remarkable
number of tricks 10 the veteran, but the
inevitable happened. After an hours
most scientific wrestling the Baltimore
man succumbed to that deadly toe hold,
and the contest ended there. After 10
minutes rest Americus hobbled into the
arena to contest the second fall. After
entering the ring, however, no was torced
Ia stop because OF excruciating leg pain
II was many a day before Amerlcus re-
gained his usual good health. Since that
time tine doughty Baltimore grappler has
rested taking things easy and ADDING
weight. In the future he aspires TO meet
Gotch again, and promises a different re-
suit.

DUBUC WILL HURL
AGAINST ATHLETICS
Crowell or Wyckoff to Work for
Mack in Detroit Fray This
Afternoon.

DETROIT. July 1s.-Jean Dubuc will
face the Athletics this afternoon In hope
Of making It three in row from the
Athletics. with the white sox and Red
sox battling in Chicago. Manager Jen-
nings believes that the Tigers will be
but point or two behind the leaders
when the Athletics leave town.
The second game with the Athletics
was q slugging match. and the Tigers
were really lucky to win, as all the
breaks of the game went against the
Mackmen. Today Jennings looks for a
clean cut victory, as Dubuo has been
resting for a week to recover from the
effects of ovcrwork. The star hurler OF
jennings stan has not been as effective
this season as in the past, but he has
been improving steadily, and the fans
believe that the rest will do him world
of good.
Manager Mack will use either Crowell
or Wyckoff against the Tigers today, with
chances favoring the latter, as he has
been hard man for Cobb, Crawford y
Co. for two seasons. With Wyckoff in
form, the Tigers are likely to have their
hands full making 1t three in row.

ANOTHER OLDEST BALL
DISCOVERED IN WEST
On June 20, 1862, Latest Find
Was Used in Game Between
New York Teams.

Veteran baseball fans. whose memories
carry them back to the early days OF
the national game, are discussing the
recent report from Pittsburgh that the
oldest baseball in existence had been in
sured for $1,000 against loss by fire or
burglary. This sphere, which Is covered
by one piece of horsehide sewed In the
centre, is said to be SO years old. having
made it's initial appearance in n game
played between the Eclipse club, OF
Kingston N. Y, and the Hudson team,
of Newburgh, n. Y, on June 20, 1852.
which was won by Kingston players. 40
to IS.
While this ball Is undoubtedly one OF
the old-time spheres, 1t Is not the oldest
by some years, IL the records recording
this department of baseball can be re-
lied upon. A baseball which antedates
the Pittsburgh one by five years Is, or
was until recently, in the possession of
p. NJ Wilhite, of Emporia, Kan. This
sphere was used in what is said to be
the first championship game ever played
In this country. 1t figured in the con-
test between the Trimountain Club. of
Boston, and the Portland, Me. team in
game played September 0, 1857.
Like the Pittsburgh ball, It has one
piece cover and measures 10 inches in
cir cumference The contest in which this
| ball, now preserved by coating OF BOlu
leaf and suitably inscribed, was used was
| played on Boston commons, and was won
! by Portland, AZ to ~. The match was
memorable in other respects, since 1t was
the first played under the nlne-inning
rule and the first in which the pitcher
was permitted to pitch instead of being
forced to use the toss or under-hand
threw.
According to F. C. Richter's History
and Records of Baseball" published in
this city the first game of baseball was
played as early as 1925. The first base
ball was a square piece of wood. In the
'4Os the game first assumed Importance
and system. when it was elaborated and
practiced by the first regularly organized
ball club of which there Is any knowl-
edge This was the Knickerbocker Club.
Of New York city, 1872 The first rules
were formulated by the KnIckerbockers
| September %, 1915,
In this city there existed an even older
! club than the Knlckerbockers, viz, the
| Olympic Club OF 1888, town ball team,
a game having some slight resemblance
10 the later baseball game Of the New
| Workers..
