A. physical direc- tor at one of the "" units at Camp Sevier. is getting good many things started in the baseball line in his sec ton of camp. Molesworth has super vision over the athletic work for the
 depot battalion, which includes about 500 Alabama men, and about 2000 ne- gro selectmen, who came here recently from the District of Columbia and Maryland
 A fast baseball team has already been organized by Molesworth among the colored men. and a game is to be played between that organization and a Green vile champion" team in the city of Greenville next Monday afternoon. it was announced yesterday. ~
 Plans are now being worked out for depot battalion league. There are three companies of white soldiers in the battalion. and it is probable that a league will be arranged in which these three companies will be represented.

II LOOK Mike Donovan just seven years to rise from obscurity to ranking as the acknowledged middleweight champion of 5 the world When George Rooke retired { in 1874 the pugilistic fans almost as q unit declared Donovan his successor g S the wing of middlweights
 Donovan $ success as a fighter through The seven years previous had been pne nomenal. He fought everyone who cared 10 face him, and he whipped each one de cislvely. Donovan never quibbled over spottins foe 10 pounds, or 20 pounds or 50 pounds Opponents were rather scarce in those days, and Mike wanted action. How could he have got it if he had been too particular, if he had wanted things all his own way? Mike loved the lighting game so much that he would have battled every week in the year if he had been afforded the chance.
 As champion, Mike was called upon to light ali the toughest men in his di- vision, and out of it. And Mike did. He was real champion. He accorded .C chance for battle. But as Mikes success continued, the men who wanted to risk the chance of taking a beating from him became fewer and fewer.
 And at last, in 1882, having no more worlds to conquer, Mike laid aside the crown that he had worn so gracefully during all the years of his reign and went into retirement.
 1t was three years before Mike quit Active pugilism-in 1s7s-that a big ben eft was given for him in Boston. Just before the affair was put on, friends sEent to Mike and said:
 You'll please the crowd if you'll box with one of the local boys who is mak- Ing quite a hit around here.'
 . Sure, I'll take him on in an exhibi- fion bout responded Mike. By the way, who is her.
 "Oh, they call him the Boston High lands Strong Boy" was the answer His Eeal name is Sullivan-John L. Sullivan"

HUNTER A PRISONER
ALL NIGHT In A WELL
He Manages To Climb Out Just
As His Companions Find
Scene OF Accident

Bloomington, ILL.,, Dec. 12-Piung
| ing into a well so feet in depth anC
held prisoner for many hours before
his rescue by companions was the ex-
perience of w. A. Schaller while
hunting rabbits near Payson.
Accompanied by Albert Hyman and
Henry Koski, Schaller started hunt
ing. Reaching favorable location,
the three hunters separated, with the
understanding that they would meet
at an agreed spot. When SchaIler
failed to appear, his comrades started
in search. They obtained lights and
the aid of neighboring farmers. Day
light finally revealed the long aband-
oned and forgotten we'll and Schaller
a prisoner, almost despairing of res
cue.
Fortunately the well was dry, but
the bottom was covered by stones.
SchaI er was badly bruised. He had
spent the night in the vain attempt
to climb the sides of the wall. His
calls had failed to reach his compan-
ions. The damp air was sitting and
he feared at times he would suffocate.
As morning dawned, Schal,er dcterm-
ined to make a last effort to escape.
His head was throbbing painfully and
his senses were partially blurred,
but he felt that he must effect his
escape alone or die there. Catching
with Dotn hands on the sides of the
well, he was abe to hitch his body
up a few inches at time and find
foot hold in the stone wall. Hitching
and launching his body upwards Schal-
Ter made slow progress. His strength
was rapidly being Slapped by the se-
we're exertion, and the margin be-
tween escape and death grew narrow
er as he neared the top. With a last
effort Schaller reached the surface
and fell fainting on the edge, when
his companions found him, Schaller
was. revived. 1t developed that the
well had been covered at one time,
but the boards had rotted and the ex-
istence of the excavation forgotten.
The owner of the land has filled the
we'll with rocks.
