"He's a Bear!" Says
Cecil Donaldson

Although he has Just discarded
short trousers and Is only starting
to wear his teens, Cecil Donaldson,
the miniature Mclaughlin Of the
courts, Is a good sportsman, hence
a good loser.
Immediately after the finish OF
his match with Vincent Richards
yesterday at Forest Hills Cecil was
asked how Richards managed to
beat him. "He is a bear-eat at plac-
ing and he knows how to draw
fellow out of position. And, my;
can't he volley, though" was the
tribute of the vanquished prodigy.

third base. As ne did SO Benny KauR


galloped home with a gift run.
RUDE Benton, in the second inning
with one out, singled to centre field.
Burns forced the pitcher out, but
Georgia made up for it by stealing
second base. The theft was not neces-
sary, as Herzog tripled far over Myers's
head.
New York's last three runs fell in
the eighth. Kauff walked and took
third on Zimmerman's single. Smith
was forced, Johnston to Cutshaw, but
the latter in trying for a double play
threw poor to Daubert. Kauff tailed
on the out and Smith took second on
the error. Robertson hit far into the
right field stand for home run. Holke
followed with a double to left, but
thinking two were already out he raced
around on a weak pop-up to Cutshaw
and was doubled off second base.
In only two innings was Benton seri-
ously threatened. Myers tripled to
right centre in the first But two were
down and Casey Stengel rolled weakly
TO the box. Myers walked 10 start the
fourth. He was forced by Stengel.
Then after Johnston flied TO Kauff
Cutshaw and O'Rourke punched sin
giles TO centre for the run that cheated
Benton out Of shutout.

Boxing News and Notes
nv FRED HAWTHORNE

II you want to arrange TO get your
nose punched in the most artistic
manner. just go to the nearest tele-
phone and call up Summit 3o5, party
NJ. and you will be accommodated.
Party NJ" Is Mr.. Fred Welsh, late
lightweight champion of the world and,
al present writing, a health special
istp on his 162-acre health farm &C
Long Hill, Summit, N. j.
But there are one or two qualifca-
tions necessary before you can attain
tho boon of having your nose punched.
In the first place, according to Fred
dies artistically engraved prospectus.
"a limited number of men Of refine
ment" will be Accommodated, and, Sec
ondly, the whole thing is worked out
on a financial basis, for Welsh is in
the health building business now.
Therefore, if you are sufficiently re-
fined and the financial matter is attend
ed to, Freddie will step right up and
punch you on the nose. OF course, that
is only one feature of the life at Sum-
nit. Afterward the former lightweight
king will put you through a regular
course of training and exercise, regu-
late your diet and make you all over.
But what would happen, we wonder,
if Benny Leonard should glue on some
false whiskers, wear crutch and
apply for treatment in the guise of a
decrepit old gentleman trying to
squeeze a few more years out of life?
"All this airing OF my affairs before
the public has been dreadfully upset
ting TO me, and | really don't quite see
how | can face il; but | feel it my
bounden duty to remind you that Ted
kid Lewis and Mike ODowd are eat
ing raw meat and drinking the blood
thereof in preparation for their FAST
AND FURIOUS FISTlC FUSS at the
st. Nicholas Rink on Friday night. Oh,
must you really put that in the paper?
Well, it can't be helped; it can't be
hclhepped" And James Joy Johnston.
the Brusque Boy Bandit, breezed OUT
into the dark and stormy night.
The featherweight championship OF
the navy yard will be fought for to-
night at the Clermont Rink, in Brook
Ign. when Hughie Breslin and Young
Terry Mitchell open their scuppcrs and
clear the decks FOR action.

Care For Big Crowd
VOLUME 13
~, -Er 22

1t will be Silver Plume's turn
to entertain the Clear Creek
County Commercial association
next Thursday evening, October
Is, and preparations are being
made to care for a big crowd. A
special meeting of the Board of
Mines and Commerce was held in
Silver Plume last Monday evening
to complete the arrangements.
a free dance will be given at
the Opera House and music will
be furnished by Leach's orchestra.
Free refreshments will be served
and big time is planned. Every
one is invited to attend.
The Silver Plume branch of the
county organization, thru their
secretary, Fl. F. hampshire, wish
to thank the association for their
expressions of approval and their
unanimous vote in favor of the
early opening of the Loveland
Pass road and the grading of the
lower end of the Georgetown hill.

interest in Mr.. Hassell's lumber
business and they started yard.
The years 1896 and 1897 were the
best busi n e S years in Mr..
Moscript's long experience. There
was lots of building and improve

porous and bright.
Mr.. Moscript has stayed with the
game thru lean years and fat ones
and has made good In every
movement for the benefit of
Idaho Springs and the county he
has always been in the fore. front.
He is now mayor of the city. and
a most capable one. No public
movement is ever launched with
out enlisting his aid. He is pres
ident of the Clear Greek Pioneers
association, one of the leaders in
Red Cross work, prominent in
Masonry and the Eastern Star.
In the sale of Liberty bonds he is
ready for action. AS an exponent
of good roads there is no more
enthusiastic man in the county.
II might also be said that there
is no buster man in the county
than E. M. Moscript, attending to
his own business, and yet this
man finds time to devote to every
movement for the good of the
community in which he lives, and
that is why the Siftings says it
