MANY SPORTS

Barney Reilly has the distinction of
being the only Irish professional
ski jumper in the world.
Ora Morningstar, the crack billiard
player, has been offered $4,000 sea-
son to give exhibitions in a Detroit
!. billiard room.
Next fall the Indiana university

conference teams, Minnesota, Ohio
State and Purdue.
Boston amateur and semilprofes-
sional ball players will have try-outs

Willie Hoppe is out with an an
ouncement that he is willing to play
any contestant for any balk-line title,
if there is a $4,000 guarantee.
Grant H. Browne has contract for
! Fred Fulton's services in New York
bout, but as yet no opponent has been
selected for the Minnesota heavy
weight.
AS Ty Cobb's contract with Detroit
has two more years to run, there is
no chance for the Georgia Peach to
join the threatened walkout of big
league pastimers.
In an effort to walk one mile in
competition with five women roller
skaters, who covered two and a half
miles in relays, Dan O'Leary, the vet
, eran pedestrian, was defeated by a
margin of five yards in Washington
recently.
The threatened baseball strike evil

Comiskey, since he has practically the

up for the coming season.

423,S00 fans attended the games. To-

MUST PAY
TRANSPORTATION

Woodstown, N. j., Jan. 3O.-After q
fight of more than two years, Clayton
Smith, of Yorktown, Pilesgrove
township, has been awarded compen-
sation by the Pilesgrove-W Woodstown
Board of Education for funds which
he advanced for the transportation of
his daughter for period of two years
from her home to the Woodstown
High School.
Parents of other pupils have been
watching the outcome of the case be-
fore beginning action themselves on
the school transportation issue.
-Four years ago the advanced cours-
es in several of the township schools
were discontinued and the pupils ord
cred to attend the Woodstown High
School. Yorktown is three miles
from Woodstown and Smith had to
pay about $40 year to have his
daughter transported to and from the
school. When he demanded that the
Board of Education pay this cost two
years ago it refused to do so. Smith
appealed to the State Board of Educa-
ton and it directed the local board to
pay. The Board still demurred and
recently Smith instituted civil action.

Governor Edge has the jaw that de-
notes the fighter. He has fought from
the time when, at the age of two, he,
to use his own words, "emulated the
immortal Washington by crossing the
Delaware. He came from Pbiladel-
phia, where he was born, and went to
Pleasantville, N. ]. His parents were
in moderate circumstances. When he
was fifteen he went into the compos-
ing room of the Atlantic City Review.
His business sense took him into the
advertising department when he was
ready for an advancement, preferrine
instinctively to WELD the pocketboo,
father than the pen or the typewriter.
He began his political career on the
lowest rung of the ladder that leads
to the Governors chair. He was ap-
pointed journal clerk in the Senate
about twenty years ago. He took
little time off from keeping the Sen
ator's records and went to the Span
ish-American War. When he came
back he was appointed secretary of
the Senate. But all the time he kept
his hand on the lever of business.
Gradually he acquired two newspa-
pers in Atlantic City and an advertis-
ing agency that has grown to inter-
national proportions. In 1910 he was
elected an Assemblyman and a year
later a State Senator

found awaiting him a letter from G..
A. Sharkey of St. Paul, whom Judge
Harris had known for 80 years.

years at that point, after which he
went as travelling freight auditor for
the Northern Pacific in Montana in
which office he came in touch with
the live stock situation of the big

COAL PRICES MODERATE
HERE, SAYS nARNWELl

Coal prices in Minnesota will prob
ably remain unsettled until the gov
ernment investigation now under
way is complete, is the opinion of
fuel dealers in various centers of
the state
The government fuel director has
set the price of coal at 80 per cent
increase over the price charged in
1915, but Bemidji coal dealers say
they will not take advantage of it.
In discussion with G. w. Harm
we'll, president of the Commercial
club and general manager of the st.
Hilaire Lumber company, today, Mr..
Harnwell emphasized the statement
that Bemidji coal dealers we're not
in the same class with a burglar,
much as some seem inclined to
think.
1--WE are not taking advantage of
what the government fuel director
has allowed u.s. said Mr.. Harnwell.
Goal in Bemidji is selling for $11.75
nut and $115O for stove. Hard coal
would be between II and IL cents
more than we are charging if we fol-
lowed the fuel directors price
allowance. We are not adding that
to prices we are quoting"
