vermont's Celebration.

| Only in the East would it be possible
TO stage such an old home movement al
Vermont has launched for the coming
summer, as part of the program for this
celebration of the one hundred and TWEEN
! ty.tifth anniversary of her admission to
the union. II means little west OF the
Mississippi, and nothing at all on the Pa
cific coast, where the native hearthstone
of the average citizen lies in some other
part of the country, and the native born
son is the exception. New England is
the mother of the American immigrant.
Her sons and daughters have populated
the prairies and conquered the Rockies,
taking with them to every part OF
the continent the traditions of New Eng
land order, thrift and government. a
home coming of these means something
of vast significance in the history of Que
country and it means something, also, TO
New England, for not a son has left but
can bring an offering with him upon his
return. The old home celebration that
Vermont is talking about would be a
most excellent thing, both for those who
have gone away, and those who have
strayed The former will have oppor
tunity to renew their faith; the latter
to obtain new ideas that have quickened
under the necessities imposed by fresh
environment and strange problems. The
Vermonters Of to-day will show how
they kept alive all that is best in the
character of the Vermont man and wom-
an. The erstwhile Vermonters, or their
or their children's children will
bring needed inspiration to the Moth
erland. IL would be unfortunate If this
project should not be carried forward to
a complete success. Let Nermonters all
over the United States, and those who
are in foreign lands, respond to the invi-
tstions that are being sent broadcast.
Let the green hills throb beneath the
footballs of the pilgrims. Not many
IAN boast a nobler shrine. Wherever they
have gone the sons and daughters OF
have kept alive the love they
bear their native state. Their organiza-
ions are implanted in every part OF the .
They are vigorous and patriot /

Wolgast, who was under the impress

Dayton. Ohio. March 8. 1876
Sporting Editor. Milwaukee Leader
My Dear Andrews: Just few lines
to correct an impression you have re-
garding the recent Graves-Moha bout
in this city. All of the bouts in the
city, and we have had continuous box
ing for more than twenty years, are to
decision. There has never been a
ton and the Graves-Moha encounter
was scheduled for fifteen rounds to a
decision.
1T a practically even affair
until the eleventh round. when Moha
gained big shade and had Graves
rather worried, when the latter struck
the foul blow. 1t is not believed the
blow was Intentional. but neither
Graves nor his manager denied it was
low. was evident to every one of
the 1900 spectators. Referee Bud Lally
of Cincinnati stated after the bout that
if he had had to give a decision on
points at the end of the eleventh
round he would have been compelled to
give it to Moha.
Now. very few people down this way
think Moha is Graves master, but
there is no getting away from the fact
that he more than held his own that
night. and. Furthermore, there is no
argument as to his victory by the foul
route. If Graves had claim to the
welterweight title before he met Moha
the latter undoubtedly has 1T now.
though | understand from the local
promoters he is not anxious for an
other meeting with Graves. The very
best proof regarding the title came
from Graves himself, who said to me
in the News office the next morning:
All | want is another crack at Moha,
for where is my welterweight title
now?"

SENT Fifteen TO BENcI
By ERNEST J. LANIGAN.

When the Superbas go on their travels
this season, Charles Hercules Ebbets
can. II he so desires, call attention to
the fact that in Sherrod NJ. Smith his
team possesses the pitcher who, in 1915,
picked more men off the bases than
any Of his curvng contemporaries in
either National or American league.
Before hostilities began last year two
brainy athletes-John Evers of the
Braves and George Moriarty. then of
the Tigers-were asked to name the
hurlers most effective at holding run
ners up and picking them Off the bases.
The National Lacquer thought Tom
Hughes of his team as good as any,
while the American Lacquer put In
strong boost for Eddie Cicotte and Jim
Scott of the White Sox, and said that
E. Alibi Walsh of the Rowlandites
probably was the king of them all.
Walsh worked In very few games last
year. and Evers, when he expressed his
opinion, had not seen the young Brook
lyn southpaw in action. That Moriarty
and Evers knew what they were talk
ing about is substantiated by the fig-
ures. for Hughes ranked next to Smith
In the National in trapping men off the
pillows and Cicotte stood first and
Scott second in this respect in the
American.
Toward the end of the season a
youngster came into Big Bans league
who, il he is not shunted back to the
minors, may take from Smith his pres
ent honors. The Juvenile in question
is John Nabors, captured by one of C.

Georgia, and first heard OF because he

opportunities he picked eight men of

but he labored in about twenty full
games.
