Just how much a manager fig
ures In the development of a star
pitcher and just how much needs
to be done, sometimes, to save
good raw material from the Great
Scrap Heap Is shown Thy the
case of Fred Toney, counfed on
to be awhale with the Cincinnati
Reds the coming season.
From the time Toney set
strike-out records in the Blue
Grass league in 1909 until last
season, he was puzzle. He
had wonderful natural ability
and every good baseball judge
who looked at him said he ought
to be a wonder. Wise managers
and catchers tried to make him
the great pitcher he ought to
have been, then gave up hope.
He made five trips to and from
the major leagues.
Finally, last spring, the big
mountainesr found himself out of
Job. Buck Herzog, manager
Of the Cincinnati Reds, was will

This week is an interesting one
in boxing circles.
Besides a number of bouts of
national importance, Tacoma
fans are showing keen interest in
Frank Farmers match at Port
land to night with Al Sommers.
The big logger is expected to
have one of the hardest battles Of
his western career. He has been
forced to train down to 1872
pounds for the match.

The Mike Gibbons-Ahearn fight
in st. Paul is the outstanding
feature of the weeks bouts, as
the affair will have an import
ant bearing on the middleweight
championship. The winner of
this go will probably be matched
with the sensational Australian,
Les Darcy, If the latter can get
away from his home country, and
the winner of this second go will
undoubtedly be crowned title
holder.

DEATH WAS
ACCIDENTAL

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 1S.-A
coroner's jury yesterday after
noon decided that the death of
William G. Lifson, Pennsyl-
vania freshman, was accidental.
Lifson died of suffocation during
the annual bowl fight of the
school. AS a result of his death
all club fights have been ordered
abolished.

them. He taught him to pitch
with his head as much as with
his arm.
In five weeks Toney was ready
and he was whirlwind. Tie
pitcher who had been the big
mystery of baseball for five
years, won II games and lost
only 6, held opposing teams to
less than two runs game and 20
batting average of It's. He
pitched six shutouts.
So, the manager who found
Frank Baker and gave the game
one of it's greatest hitters gave
the game a great pitcher who had
been lost.

This fellow Jess Willard is
about the coldest-blooded
money grabber Of any boxer
who ever gained prominence.
He makes no bones about
saying that his fight with
Moran is simply o business
proposition. It's this same
kind of stuff that has killed
a lot of the sporting interest
In organized baseball, and is
gradually opening the eyes
of the public to the utterly
mercenary unsportsmanlike
work of many Of our socalled
sportsmen.
David Hartsell Bales, pro-
pristor of Ye Majestic Eat

mated. He has retired to the
solitude OF his Kitchen, and
will not come out of his lair

Mrs. Sallie Ann Sweat. an aged
citizen of the Bethesda neighborhood.
died at her home Saturday and was
buried Sunday in the Bethesda ceme-
terry. She is survived by her husband,
Rufus Sweat. She was good
woman.
The remains of 7. J. Ramer were
brought to Kramer from Arkansas for
burial Saturday. lie was tile sun Of Ct
VIM. Ramer, the founder of Ramer
station when the M. & O. was built.
He was a Confederate soldier, aged
Is years. He has recently made his
home with his son at Brinkley, Ark.
The Gooch hotel is now under the
management of Mr.. and Mrs. E. E.
Gooch. They and family of one
bright daughter and three boys are
quite an accession to the town. The
reputation of the Gooch hotel is more
than sustained by the new manage
ment. The limited capacity of the
building with unusual crowds will be
obvious.
The old boy friends Of George W.
Johnson will be pleased to know that
he has grown to mans estate and has
taken unto himself bride: one of
rrenton's fair daughters, Miss Irene
Chandler. They were married Sunday
night, May 27. 1t seems strange that
only few years ago George was a
little devil in Selmer offices. He has
long been leading mechanical en-
ployee on the Humboldt Courier
Chronicle.
