Trip Around World Result of Impulse
 By Owner Comiskey

Sonihody recently asked President Comiskey of the White Sox how he happened to take the trip around the world with the Giants few years ago.
 "It was like this" replied Com iskey, ''the Sox were out in Frisco on our training trip and I happened to be sitting in cafe with a couple of railroad men and a representative of a Japanese steamship line. As we were gossiping, Charley Hughes, then a representative of one of the Chica-

 Any news, Commy?' he asked.
 Mo- l replied, only was talking with these gentlemen about the proposition of our ball club making a trip around the world I said it merely in pleasantly. But he picked it up in a flash.
 Say, that would be a great story for-my paper. Can I use it?' asked Hughes. "'Sure> if it's as good as that I replied. And that was the way the idea for the trip was born"

JACK DILLON WINS
 FROM 0'NEIL BUT WESTERNER STAYS

New York, Oct. 1S-Jack Dillon, the Indianapolis lght-heavyweight failed to score a knockout, over Tim O'Neil, the big Chicago boxer, in their ten-round> bout last night at the Broadway Sporting club of Brooklyn, but he administered to the Chicagoan a beating the latter is not likely to forget for several days to come. It was the initial appearance of O'Neil in local ring, and he gained many friends by his game stand last night He failed to show any inclination to mix matters with his opponent, but he displayed wonderful powers for assimilating punishment. and kept his feet throughout the ten rounds.
 Lt was not an interesting contest from competitive viewpoint, for Dill
 "~ so far his rivals superior in all points, that the contest was one sided. In only the first and second rounds did O'Neil make any serious attempt to retaliate for the punish ment he was receiving, but his efforts only had the effect of increasing the vigor of Dillon's attack. The latter then vent after his adversary in a fashion that made O'Neil wish that he had never antagonized the Indi- annapolis "man killer"
 From the second session until the final round O'Neil did nothing but hold. Dillon worked harder last night than he has done in any of his recent bouts, trying to finish the Chicagoan but the latter managed, by holding and diving into clinches, to hear the ring of the concluding bell, despite the, fact that he was wobbly from blows to the stomach and ribs, and bleeding profusely from cut under the left eye. The weights were. Dill lon, 173 pounds; O'Neil 172 pounds

Persistent Canada Thistle.

The cause Of the remarkable vitality
of Canada thistle and the point that
distinguishes it from other prickly
plants that are commonly mistaken for
it is the long cordlike perennial root
This root psnetrates the soil to depth
of eight to fifteen inches or more and
gives rise at frequent intervals to leafy
shoots. Thus 1t will often be found
that an entire patch of thistles is at
tached to one root and Is In reality
but one plant. The root Is exceedingly
hardy and Can live over winter or
through a prolonged drought In q dor
mant condition. Pieces of the root
that are broken off by plow or cult
vator and carried to other places will
await n warm, moist period and then
begin to send up leafy shoots. thus es-
tablishing a new patch forthwith. II
the leafy stems are cut down, others
will be sent up to take their place and
this process may be repeated from two
to eight times before the root becomes
exhausted.
