NOTABLEHGlRE,
GASSAWAY DAVIS,
CALLED BY DEATH
tcontinued from PAGE onel

tContlnueo uom page oneJ
The great wealth of Senator Davis,
estimated at $50, 00O, 900, was acquired
by his far-sightedness and his ability
to take advantage of opportunities.
He was the eldest OF five children,
and at an early age, on his fathers
death, became the bread-winner of the
family. At 10 years of age he was a
farm hand on a Maryland plantation,
having relinquished opportunities for
an educaeion in favor of his younger
children.
His great business career began
when he became a brakeman on a
freight train. His rise was rapid. At
that time railroad trains did not run
at night--it was too dangerous. At
the approach OF dusk they made for
the nearest stations and waited for
sunrise.

DODGERS WIN BY
THAT OLD FIGHT
When They Look Like They Are
Ready to Crack They Re-
turn Again to Form.
scRAPPY SPIRIT DOES IT

New York, July 15.-The Brook
lyns may not win the pennant; it
may be, as so many critics insist, that
Uncle Robbie has a team which
lacks certain qualities that are indis-
pensable to championship aggrega-
ton; it may be that the Brooklyn out
fit will crack on the western trip, but
if this team from over the bridge
does suddenly tumble down the Ma
tional league ladder it will have to be
separated from its remarkable recu-
peratiye power before such thing
happens. One of the strongest things
in the Robins favor is their ability
to come back after taking a beating
More than once during the last
month the Robins have looked as if
they were about to lose their grip on
first place, but they have always man.
aged to keep up there, and always
at the expense of one of their closest
rivals. The Phillies visited Brook
lyn for series recently and when
they took the first three games the
cry went up that the Robins were
crumbling before the assault of Nor
ans men. Brooklyn then won a
double header from the present
champions, and followed that by
breaking even with the Giants in six
games. Recently they struck a snag
in Boston and dropped three games
out of FIVE, but they have had con-
siderable comeback with the Giants
as the victims. Chief Meyers sized
up the situation accurately: 1T
amuses me to hear people shouting
that the Robins are beginning to
crack just because we lost some
games in Boston," said the chief.
well, we'll show 'em. We had a
pretty tough time up there, and we
played lot OF bad base ball, and now
that we have it out of our system,
we'll go right on winning. If you
think the boys are discouraged, just
watch them play.
These fellows have the right spirit,
and we'll give anybody in the league
a run for their money. What l like
particularly about this team is their
gameness. They never know when
they're licked, and in consequence
win lot of games that seem hope
lessly lost"
What the Indian backstop says is
true.

Scarlet Fever
Among American
Marines in Peking

fcorrespondence OF The Associated Press)
Picking, July l0-Scarlct fever
broke out among 200 American ma.
fines stationed in Peking as guard
1t the American legation. In an effort
10 prevent the spread Of the disease,
Colonel Neville, commandant OF the
guard, ordered the men to move out
81 the barracks and placed them under
canvas, with only two men In each
rent. The tents were pitched on the
recreation ground adjoining the lega-
ton compound and outside the COM
pound wall, where all Chinese could
see them plainly.
Immediately rumor was circu-
lated that the American legation had
brought extra troops from the Phil
ippines to protect foreigners against
possible rioting which might result
from the unsettled political conditions
and the financial stringency brought
about by the moratorium. This rumor
grew, and added to 1t was report
that the Japanese were also to bring
in thousands of troops from Tsingtau
and Japan for the protection OF Tor
eigncrs.
These reports became so insistent
that the Chinese government issued
q formal denial, explaining the rea-

STALLINGS BAWLS
OUT OWNER EBBETS
"A Yellow Yelp from a Yellow
Man is Way He Speaks
of Brooklyn Boss.
OVER BEAN BALL SCRAP

Boston, Mass, July ia yellow
yelp by a yellow man." is the way
Boss Stallings of the Braves charac-
terizes the charges made by Owner
Ebbets of the Brooklyn club against
Pitcher Barnes of the Braves, Tes-
reau of the Giants and Bender of the
Phillies.
Ebbets came out in print to affirm
that the three hillmen named en-
ployed the bean ball' against the
Dodgers, and to state, moreover, that
he had made a formal request to
President Tener to penalize the use
of the obnoxious and dangerous de-
livery"
The comeback by Chief Stallings,
as might be inferred, was very, very
hot. Manager Pat Moran of the Phil
lies, was bit more conservative. At
that, though, Pat put over a neat re-
ply to Ebbets after stating that, in his
opinion, no pitcher deliberately tries
to bean" a player of the opposite
side.
Said Pat, IF Ebbets has as good
reputation as a clubowner and direc-
tor of a ball club as Bender has as
a pitcher, he would be pippin."
But to return to George T. Stall
llngs, who could not see such poor
loser as Ebbets get away with such
a raw one" as he is trying to put
over.
Quoth George, This is the time to
invoke that old one about persons
living in glass houses retaining from
throwing bricks.
Just imagine Ebbets having the CO.
lossal effrontry and superb hypocrisy
to come out with charges like those
when it is notorious fact that his
own club has the most consistent
users Of the bean bali in the National
league, if not in both major leagues.
"Ebbets has Vanguard, Dell and
Pfeffer. Marquard has been heard
to boast openly about his ability to
dust 'em off. Dell has made the
statement that there is only one way
to pitch, to set them down and get
it over
Finally, the use of the bean balr
by Brooklyn pitchers was to be OBJ
served right here in Boston only
few days ago.
"Konetchy was hit by Pfeffer and
not by Slow bali, BY any means.
Magee, Meanwhile and Evers were
set down frequently. They had to
fall down repeatedly in order to es-
cape being hit. That, however, is
nothing new where Brooklyn pitchers
are concerned. The point is that
other clubs were game enough to take
their medicine and win ball games
without reverting to hypocrisy and
running in cry baby fashion to the
president of the league"

WILLARD READY TO
RETIRE FROM RING
One More Fight and Big Jess
Will Shed Spangles for
Good.
DOES NOT LIKE TRAINING

New York, July 15.-Advices from
the west state that Jess Willard will
fight but one more bout before re-
firing from the ring. According to
these reports, the glamor of the ring
no longer lures Jess. He has basked
in the popularity that goes with a
worlds champion, and, while he ap-
preciates the money making propen-
sites of champion, he has collect
ed such a goodly amount of the coin
of the realm that he feels he is com
fortably" fixed and has nothing much
to worry about.
1t is a known fact that Willard
does not like to box. Nor does he
like to wade through the long siege
of training that is necessary to get
him in shape to enter the ring prim-
ed to do justice to himself and those
who pay to see him. He is inclined
to take on weight very rapidly. This
fact was emphasized when he was
preparing for his bout with Frank
Moran in this city last March.
Furthermore, Willard aspires to re-
tire champion. Once he retires there
will be no chance to coax him out of
retirement, for he will quickly be-
come far too heavy to ever think of
training down to fighting weight
again.
1t is known that he has virtually
given his word that when he COM
pletes his contract with the circus
he will soon thereafter begin prepare
ton for what may prove to be his
last bout. The chances are that he
will elect to do battle with Fred"
Fulton, unless that worthy is dis
posed of by some lesser heavyweight
in the meantime. 1t is said that Will
lard practically agreed to this when
he was compelled to decline an Of
fer of $45,000 to box ten rounds with
Fulton at St. Paul on Labor day.
Willard is reported to have saved
100000 from his earnings in the lit
tie more than a year that he has been
champion. 1t is also said that he
has made some good. investments.
lack Dillon remarked recently that
he was sure Jess Willard would not
fight again. willard" said Dillon,
has more money now than he can
spend and l happen to know that he
means to retire. He doesn't like
fighting and he's getting too fat to
train. When Willard quits III claim
the title and ] don't think I'll have
any trouble defending it."

Hupp Corporation
Complies Figures
On Plants Output

Records recently compiled show
that the Hupp Motor Car corporation
sells 50 per cent Of its output to for
mer Hupmobile owners. In many
cases motorists have never driven
anything but Hupmobiles since the
first Hupmobile 20" was brought
out in 1907.
Probably no other car has so many
supporters among the youngsters as
the Hupmobile, and in many families
in which Hupmobile is owned, the
children have grown up with their
Hupmobile, which developed from
the little "20'' roadster to the pres
ent powerful machine. In Kansas
City one of the most enthusiastic
Hupmobile owners is DR.. H. P.
Kuhn, who declares that there is no
other make of car which can nego-
tate the steep Kansas City hills like
the Hupmobile.
A cable from Sampaulo, Brazil, re-
ports another victory in foreign
chimes of the four-cylinder Hupmo-
bile. The Brazilian agent, Chaves,
was the winner of the race in which
practically all makes of cars repre-
scented in that country competed.
The event was nonstop run OF 40
kilometers over rough and mountain
GUS roads and sandy regions. The
winners time was ten hours And
fifty minutes.

WEINERT CAN LICK
JESS, SAYS WELSH
Lightweight Champion Offers
to Bet Ten Thousand on
Charley.
BUT Is NOT ENOUGH MONEY

New York, July l5.-Charley
Weinert's manager says that Freddie
Welsh is ready to back that heavy
weight for $4,000 against Jess Will
lard. That is a very modest sum to
tempt Willard, who recently turned
down an offer of $4,000 to box Fred
Fulton ten rounds on Labor day.
Just at present it looks as though
it will be Fulton who will get the
next match with Willard. Although
Fulton appears to be no more prom
Using than he was when public opin-
ion caused the promoters to call off
the proposed match at New Orleans
last winter, Wizards hackers are
showing no disposition to discuss the
chances of any other candidate.
However, it is more than likely that
the big money talk going the rounds
is merely press agent work. None
OF the regular promoters have come
forward with an offer for a Willard
Fulton match. If the men ever sign
articles the storm of indignation will
break. If the Dillon-Moran match
which looked like a regular fight
could draw less than $4,000 despite
all the advertising it received, one
sided affair like the Naturalization
thing hardly could be made to pay.
A championship match, like any
other, needs plenty of favorable adj
vertising. No sporting writer would
care to say that Fulton looks to be
good match for Willard. Fulton
positively refuses to tackle any of
the live contenders. Jack Dillon re-
Gently told the writer that Fulton's
manager had begged him to let Full
ton alone and not show him up by
challenging. Fulton refused to meet
Frank Moran, setting his price so
high that the promoter was forced to
drop negotiations at once. Charley
Weinert also is taboo as far as Fulton
is concerned -...
As the men mentioned are the only
ones rated any way near the top OF
the class, it is plain that Fulton has
no confidence in himself. By defeat
ing any one Of the leaders in de-
cisive way he might obtain recogni-
ttion, but he seems to prefer being re-
garded as joke to taking the chance
involved. Even Jim Coffey and Carl
Morris are considered too dangerous
by the Rochester string bean.
So far, Fulton's most ambitious
effort was his affair with old Porky
Flynn, whom he outpointed in
twenty rounds at New Orleans, &C
cording to Referee Tommy Burns,
although the decision was not con-
CURED in by a majority of ringsiders.
His more recent defeat of Al Reich
was even less impressive, for Flynn
had twice defeated Reich. AS mat
ter OF fact Reich could have stopped
Fulton in any round if the former
had been willing to try to fight.

Ocean Freight on
American Lumber
Increased Ten Fold

CORRESPONDENTS Of The Associated Press.)
Rome, July Ocean freights OH
American lumber have increased ten
fold since the war began and the Ital-
ian government is beginning to make
inroads on its own precious reserve
stocks of standing lumber. There are
about 10000 square miles of forest
area in Italy, or one-seventh of the
total area of the country. Most of
the timber wood is found in the Apen-
nine mountains, which follow the en-
tire length of Italy, beginning north
OF Genoa and rising out of the fertile
plains of Piedmont.
The wood is being used by the gov
eminent in large quantities for the
construction Of soldier barracks at the
front, for Strengthening trenches, for
railroad and foot or wagon bridges
along the countless new roads built
at the front, as part of the armys
transportation system. Much of this
lumber is carried piece by piece far
above the timber line OF the noun
tains where the soldiers are fighting
on barren glaciers.
The kind of wood being cut in
Italy's forests is fir, oak and syca-
more, woods formerly imported from
Austria. Until recently many ship
loads Of pitch pine, mostly from the
gulf ports of the United States, were
delivered into Italy. But the freight
and handling cost has made the price
prohibitive. Anderson Polk, an Amer
lean timber agent travelling in Italy,
stated to The Associated Press CORE
spondent that the value of the cargo
Of one of the last ships to arrive at
Genoa from Tampa, Fla, was, board
measure, costing SIS per 1000 feet at

POWELL WINS In
CITY TENNIS MEET
Beats Joe Adams in Field Club
Courts in Five
Sets.
HARMON OUT OF THE CITY

Ralph Powell proved that he had
the right to be in the finals OF the
city tennis tournament, even though
he had not had hard game in his
half Of the drawing, by beating Joe
Adams on the Field club grounds yes
terday afternoon. The match went the
full five sets, the scores OF the sets
we're 6-3, SO, 90, 81, 60. Russell Lar
mon, who holds the title from last
year, is out Of the city for the summer
and will be unable to challenge Pow
ell. Both players suffered from the
heat and had to rest frequently dur
ing the course OF the match.
Plays Back Court.
Powell, as usual, played the back
court game and Adams crowded the
net most OF the time and most of the
points were scored by placements
along the side lines or by short plays
over the net and across the court.
There was little lobbing in the course
of the match. Powell had Adams 5-3
in the fourth match and one game
would lhave won for him, but Adams
rallied and took four games in row,
winning rs and forcing the fifth game
of the match.
A good gallery watched the match
but spectators were largely Of the fair
sex, most Of the men preferring the
perils of sunstroke at the Speedway.
As first prize in the singles tourns-
ment Powell wins fine black leather
suit case, the gift of the Brandeis
stores TO the tournament players.
Adams wins a pair Of silk shirts.

LAJOIE AND WAGNER
NEARING The FINS
Strain is Beginning to Tell on
Veterans and This Year
May Be Their Last.
HAVE HELPED GAME MUCH

New York, July l5.-Base bali
fans are keeping close tabs on the
work Of the games famous veterans,
Larry Lajoie of the Philadelphia
Athletics, and Hans Wagner Of the
Pittsburgh Pirates. According to
certain diamond experts, this will be
their last season in the big show. As
these two players have helped make
base bali history during their long
careers in the game, their passing
would be sad loss to the followers
of our national pastime. Both La
joie and Wagner started the 1916
season in fine style, and have done
much to help their respective teams
win games, but as the campaign
lengthens the strain may tell.
Larry Lajoie, who looks younger
and lighter this season than he has
for years, is playing steady game,
Larry, who for years was one OF the
greatest stars Of the game, was real
ly given to the old Philadelphia club.
That club sent scout to get Phil
Geier, a Washington boy, who was
then much in demand because he was
the best Of the youngsters. He and
Lajoie were on the same team and
when the scout purchased Geier they
threw in Lajoie for good measure.
He developed into one OF the best
ball players and hitters in the his
tory Of the game.
Hans Wagner had a similar exc
perience. He was turned down by
many scouts who went to see him
play because they all reported that
he was too awkward, but when he
had been with the Louisville club for
a few weeks he demonstrated that
he was fast man and soon develop
ed into one Of the greatest ball play
ers that ever lived. 1t is question:
able whether the great Cobb, now
the wonder Of the game, will be able
to equal Wagner's long record, de-
spite the fact that Wagner has been
continually playing the infield, which
is naturally much harder than the
outfield, ~

Polish Farm High
School to Reopen

Correspondence OF The Associated Press)
Pulvay, Russian Poland, July TO-
October is to see the rcopening, with
the Polish language in vogue, Of the
agricultural high school, which, so
far as Polish is concerned, has been
closed since 1868. The Austro-H Hun

the reorganization and conduct Of the
school to Prof. DR.. Stefan Surzycki
of the University Of Krakau.
The Pulvay High school, one OF
the biggest educational institutions in
Russian Poland, was closed in 1868
by the Russian authorities because its
pupils had taken par. in the revolu-

SPANISH GOLD DREAMS LURE
Californian Seeks Diving Rod to Dis
close Some Buried Treas

As soon as he is able to find min
eral rod with which to continue his
work, ]. o. Butler of East Colorado
street, Pasadena, will renew his hunt
for buried treasure in the neighbor-
hood OF the old mill on the Hunting
ton estate.
Butler has sent to New York in the
hope Of locating the instrument which
he expects to use in his search for
several gallons Of gold supposed to
have been buried century ago by the
early Spaniards.
Eight times have l dreamed of the
buried treasure" said Butler in dis
cussing his plans. AT first l paid no
attention to my dreams, but they re-
turned over period Of five years, and
when the details in each were the same
! made Investigations, and was told
OF the early Spaniards who buried
treasure in the district where the old
mill now stands. I went there, and
found the place to be exactly as my
dreams painted it eight different
times"
Butler went on to describe the old
miller who was supposed to have been
murdered while guarding the treasure
for the old San Gabriel mission, and
said that several old Spaniards Of San
Gabriel had recounted the exact cir
cumstances to him, the same as in his
dream.
The treasure hunter says wealthy
woman Of Los Angeles has offered to
finance his work If he viii give her
half Of the find. Butler refused, and
says she now threatens to buy up all
the land and conduct her own search.
