Freak Incidents
Dear Sir-In calling your attention to the
record of the Birmingham CLUB, Which
scored three runs in three days and won
three games, another record was overlooked
Some years ago Cincinnati journeyed to st.
Louis, and in "a four-game series scored nut
one run while st. Louis scored eleven, yet
the Reds got an even break on the series.
The scores were: st. Louis, IL; Cincinnati,
O (: Cincinnati, st. Louis, 0 Cincinnati, D I;
St Louis, 0; Cincinnati, 0: st. Louis, 0.
Here are few other odd achievements
gather from my eight volumes of dope;
Bender one year pitched one ball in
game-and lost 1t. Bluejacket, with the
Brookfeds did not make a single pitch. yet
was officially credited with a victory. Here's
another odd one: In Scranton-Elmira
game the bases were full. The Elmira
pitcber threw to third and caught the rum
ner off the bag. After considerable tossing
hack and forth the Elmira pitcher found
himself three feet from third base, ball in
hand. with three runners on third base. He
Iunged at the group. which scattered, and in
the throwing which followed, after the
smoke had cleared away, Scranton had her
three runners back on first second and
third without an error charged.

"A illumination contest" said Bobby.

Gunnis, as he dived into his inside pocket

Bobby has the goods and he put over
clever piece of work in signing Whlte Ior
the three matches. Tillman and Dundee
will meet the Chicago mauler, and the boN-
ing fans in Philadelphia will have an oppor-
tunty to see the principal contender for the
lightweight title in action. Charley mas
made quite a name for himself, and some OF
the critics believe he has better chance
than Dundee to take the title away from
Leonard. He punches harder and his string
of knockouts is long one. He has dropped
many aspiring boxers and put the fnishlng
touches on Sam Robideau at the National
couple of years ago. His last appearance
here was with Johnny Nelson and John
spent most of the time on the floor.

White Wants Crack at Leonard

White has been one of Leonards most
persistent challengers, but, to use the par
lance of the ring, the champ has not given
him tumble. He now realizes that the
only way to get a crack at the title is to
force Benny into a match, and that can be
done only after he has cleaned up all of
the good men in the lightweight division.

The Will of a Worker.

| We shall lose the inner meaning of
| Gen. Daniel G. Remich's will if we permit
ourselves to think only OF some 100000
! distributed among various institutions,
schools, churches, hospitals and the like.
We shall still miss the point ii we think
of it as benefitting abstract things like
education, religion, and morals. Only
when we visualize the living men and
women who are to be helped in the strug
gle of life shall we really understand
what this warm hearted, hard fighting
north country man has done. Seeing
them, we appreciate the will as an act of
self-expression. Seeing whom Mr.. Rem
ich is to help, and TO what he is to help
them, being dead, we know better where
his interests were when living, know bet
ter the sort of a man he was.
Now, while he gave some things, like
Kilburn Dells and Kilburn Crags which
make for pure delight, it is noteworthy
that the great bulk of the estate goes to
the assistance of struggling humanity.
One does no violence to the facts by in
terpreting them in this way He gave TO
the church, which represents mans strug-
gle upward morally. He gave to the Ii
DTdfy. Symbol ui man = struggle TOT
knowledge. He gave for y. NJ. G. A. or
civic center. point of support in the
struggle against community deteriora
ton. He gave for the hospital. thereby
aiding in the struggle for health. He
gave TO the Mercy home in this city,
where strong, tender hearts and hands
help the erring back to hope and useful
ness. And he gave largely to the eolored
men and women who are graphing with
the facts of the world and seeking to
turn them to account in the uplifting of
a race.
1t is a characteristic will General
Remich was worker and fighter for
right. Now that he is dead, he still
works and fights for human uplift. Liv-
ing men and women are to be aided in
their fight against great odds by him.
His nature was such that he could not
leave an endowment for an art gallery
or an historical museum. Desirable and
useful as are these and similar things, |
they must come from men of different |
temper. To him, life was battle in
which the strong must help the weak,
and so he has perpetuated his influence |
in behalf of men and women who are
up to hope, health, knowledge |
and usefulness.-Maneheste Union.
