Car Wrecked.

A Haynes car, bearing a Tennessee
license tag, was pretty badly wrecked
at the Calls farm on Saturday evening
when it failed to make the abrupt turn
at that point, smashing into the en-
bankment of the upper side of the road
and after mounting it crashed into a
telephone pole with such terrific force
as to drive the forward wheels of the
machine backward until they rested be-
meath the drivers seat. Fortunately
the occupants of the car whose names
could not be learned, were uninjgred.
The wrecked car was brought to Oak
land and will be shipped from here to
the factory for repairs.

BY CYNTHIA GREY ;

OIL am high school girl and l go to great
many shows and dances Now, what puzzles me
is this At great many Of the dances and all of
the shows there are about twice as many boys
that come by themselves, or with other boys as
there are boys that escort girls
What is the reasonY
Is it that these boys cannot get acquainted
with girls, that they don't enjoy the company of
girls, or is it the high cost Of living?
L would like most awfully well to hear from
you, Mr.. Bachelor Boy NORMA.

of boys and of girls to realize the truth of your state

Refusal to Battle Flynn After
Losing Chance With Darcy,
Shows It Fully
REFUSES TO FIGHT
AGAIN IN NEW YORK
When He Met Miske, Critics Set
Fight Down as Victory for
the St. Paul Man
By n. C. HAMILTON.

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
New York, March 1G.-Jack Dillon,
erstwhile Indianapolis bearcat, man
killer and holder Of several other san
culinary titles, is the most unfortun-
ate scrapper 1inhabiting the United
States, lis refusal 4 to battle Jim
Flynn after he had lost his chance
to get on with Les Darcy, brought it
out fully Va @F
Decision for Miske.
When Dillon came to New York not
a long time ago Billy Miske battled
him for ten rounds and did fairly
good job of it. Dillon scored heavily
against the St. Paul false alarm, but
he was much surprised the next day
to discover that nearly every news
paper in the city had come to the con-
clusion that Miske had beaten him.
Then Jack came back to New York
and met Miske again. He didn't make
quite so good a showing but he did
we'll and easily held Miske to a draw.
However the critics again set it down
as victory for Miske.
Then Jack Got Mad.
Then Dillon got mad, He came
to the conclusion that his, former
roughness had got him in bad. He
had made such habit Of beating up
his opponents that critics were unable
to see his side of the bout when he
failed to knock somebody down few
times when he appeared in a ring
So he got himself matched up with
AL Mccoy as a prelude to his battling
Darcy. He whipped Mccoy so bad
it was a shame. but he was incensed
when he awakened the next morn
ing and found himself criticised for
not knocking Mccoy out. In fact,
two rounds Of the scrap were cred
tied to Mccoy by more than one
Took Many Beating.
Mccoy took a beating that many a
heavyweight would have fallen I'M
der. He was hit plenty of times and
he was hit hard. He deserved full
credit for winning the bout just as
far as he did, but he didn't get it. Dill
lon says he won't fight again in New
York. No one can censure him for
such a decision. He was rapidly los.
ing his reputation when he decided to
go back to Indiana.

Inventor of the "Turtle Back" lnfield Tells
Bows How to Lay Out Ball Diamond
Inventor Of the "Turtle Back lnfe
Id and Groundkeeper for the New

am going to tell you how to lay
out a baseball diamond for the bene'
fit OF youngsters who have to lay out
their own playing fields or play on
city diamonds which may not be laid
out properly.
1t makes lot of differcndqif the
dimensions Of ball diamond are
wrong.
A good thing is, to protect spec
tators. Don't let the sun get in their
eyes. For that reason build the dia-
mond, if possible, so line from the
home plate to second base is south by
southeast. This protects both play
crs and spectators.
II this is not possible, lay out the
diamond so the setting sun will Shine
either into right or left field.
Level ground should be selected so
there will be no expense for grading or
filling Clay and sand should be used
to tone up the ground, sand where it
i, too wet and clay where it is too
dry.
If possible the diaL'ond should be
thoroughly moistened before a game
ii the weather has been dry
In starting to lay out a diamond
iet your points from the home plate.
Measuresathrough line l27 feet
% 3-S inches to second base, then
mark off a point G3 feet 7 11-16ths
inches to the center Of the diamond.
At this point draw line at right
angles GO feet I 11-16ths inches each
way to first and third base.
This will give perfect square
with the bases 80 feet apart.
A diamond for amateur teams does
not need to be elaborate, but the ba:-

laid out approximately as shown in

advantage of which is that it sheds
rain, follow the diagram accompany
