items of interest which Mr.. Fossum,

his wife and five children, accom-,
panied by his aged mother, boarded

in the harbor of the city OF Chris
tiana, Norway, bound for the Prov
ince of Quebec, Dominion of Canada, of
which /, a thirteen year old boy, and
the second oldest of the family was
one of the five children referred to

in crossing the North Sea and the
Atlantic Ocean, amid icebergs and
shoals of whales, we arrived at Que.

than that which developed here late
yesterday when the entire fire depart

I-year-old boy, Nun1fo Pipitone, who
had turned in false alarm Chief
TAYLOR observing the child running
from the alarm box as his automobile
approached gave chase The driver
of the motor hose truck which follow
ed the chiefs car supposed TAYLOR
was leading the way to the fire and
followed and the remainer of the ap-
paratus uailed along. Into an alley
lodged the frightened boy, followed
by the chiefs car, the motor truck,
m extension ladder truck, horse
drawn hose wagon. a motorcycle cop,
a second hose wagon and scores of
small boys and others on bicycles,
afoot and in automobiles. by making
sharp turns into private alleys young
Pipitone managed to keep ahead OF
the procession for two blocks before
Taylor leaped from his machine and
captured him, Long before that,
however, the cumbersome fire appa-
Ta.us had become blockaded and was
not in at the death.
The Pepitone youngster pleaded
that he merely had experimental

worked, so was delivered into the
custody OF his mother, who began
punitive proceedings in the presence
of the fire chief and an interested
crowd.

remaining a few years in the con-

living in California.
The two boys were making their
home in Sacramento, Cal. when one
day few weeks ago an old friend of
the family travelling through Califor-
mia, saw James in the street and per-
ceived the family resemblance. He
questioned James, VINO told him that
he was James Cehand.
The visitor then informed the boy
that he thought a man named Cehand
whom he knew in Texas was probably
his father. Upon returning to this
state the family friend informed the
elder Cehand of his discovery. Let

young men came here and rejoined

Sir: To help settle an argument, has the East or the West produced the leading college athlete this season; I mean in track and field sports? L. J. P.
 We should say the two leading ath- letes of the year from the track were Bob Simpson, Of Missouri, and Ted Meredith, of Pennsylvania. Both were marvels. Meredith's record of 14 3-5 for the 12O hurdles was the star achievement of the season-one of the greatest performances of all time.

We'll Balanced Power.

With four such entries as Giants, Robins, Braves and Phillies it is fairly certain, or approximately so,
 that an Eastern club will win the National league pennant this season.
 But the reported weakness of the Western clubs hasn't shown as yet. All four are showing much better stuff than they are supposed to have
 the Reds and Cubs especially show ing surprising strength. Two months
 play is generally sufficient to show a good test of comparative power. This being the case the National league mas the keenest balance it has ever known. In 1908 three clubs were almost tied on the final play, less than game apart. But for 1916 the

Tn that time Freddie has re- fused to meet any first class man ever the twenty-round distance. Yet promoters and the public at large have let him get away with it.

 Welsh has come fairly close to vrecking the lightweight industry, but he is only partly to blame. The expressed desire of the tight-loving public not to sec Freddie dance fo: ten rounds would have changed his schedule in about seventen minutes.

The Change.

Baseball for 1916 in both maJor leagues has come to one blg change. In the old days there were always three or four clubs to the circuit that were the softest sort of picking, clubs that would yield three games out of four to the flag con- tenders. But there is hardly a soft mark now among the sixteen clubs. Even the Mackmen, with Myers or Bush pitching, are likely to rise at any moment and sting the leading entries in spots said to be quite vul- nerable.

St. Louis, June 8.-Ray Heating seventh inning yesterday but he couldn't make it stick. The further the game went, and it went twelve innings, the more ardently Heating was hit by the Browns, and defeat came to the Tanks by a score Of to 5.
 The battling was hard and trying. II was a gruelling encounter. Keat- ing went the whole twelve innings for the Yanks whereas the sad faced Jones had to dig up four different pitchers His first candidate was the aged Plank, the men who more than any other pitcher can make ball games drag by his inexcusab ble slow ness in the box. Plank was knocked from the rubber in the seventh in- ming when the Tanks mixed hits with home errors and shot to the front.
 It was a virile, bruising scrap in spite of the dilatory tactics of the an- tiquated Plank person. The Tanks could not find the range of any Of the other St. Louis pitchers and the only reason the gloomy visaged Jc1es made subsequent shifts on the mound was to slip in pinch hitters The Tanks were outbatted and the hitting of the Jones-Browns not only was more frequent but cleaner than that Of the KniCkerbocker clan.
