KOnetchy Forgot
Own PPOWCSS

1t is an unwritten law that a
pitcher cannot get under a high
fly, but whenever one threatens
to drop near the pitchers box
the pitcher must hurry to one
side and let an infielder make
the catch. How ironclad this
rule is can be appreciated from
what Ed Konetchy did one day
last season when he pitched in
stead of frst-based. Catching
high flies is one OF the first
baseman's chief duties, and Ko-
netChy is an expert at the trick,
but, when on this day, a bats
man hit an inEeld fly toward the
pitchers box, Konetchy side
stepped and let the third sacker
make the catch.

LEONARD TO FACE
BRITTON IN RING

NEW YORK, Nov. SACK Britton,
former welterweight champion. has
been selected to meet Benny Leonard,
worlds lightweight titIeholder. on
November 16 in the big boxing carni-
val at Madison Square Garden for the
United War Work Fund. II will be
their third meeting in the ring.
The first time they met it was for
ten rounds. with Leonard having a
wide margin. The second time was a
siS-round bout in Philadelphia and
most critics gave 1t even, or a slight
edge to BFitton.
Though no arrangements have yet
been made, it is hoped to have Billy
Miske come on from st. Paul for a
bout with Jack Dempsey. condueror

that some years ago she was a Grip
pie, so lame from hip trouble that
any exertion proved an ordeal 10 her.
Formerly a Cripple.
And it was this former cripple who,
in the recent contest, displayed in al
most faultless manner four compul-
sorry dives from the sixteen foot plat
form and six optionals from the tow
ering twenty-two-foot stand, averag-
ing better than eight points on the
Judges awards for execution, and
running up the brilliant total score
of 1913 points.
1t was chiefly exercise which ef-
fected the apparently miraculous
cure. That and no end OF grit on
Miss Bartlett's part. Physicians told
her osteopathy would correct the de-
formity. but only II the muscles were
made strong enough to give support,
and they prescribed calisthenics.
The exertion meant agony to the
young girl at first, but she went
through with it, nevertheless, and
presently the suffering diminished,

 Several days ago a company com mander received the following tele- gram from one of his men on fur tough in a California city:
 Father very low. Kindly grant ten-day extension of furlough. May be the last of dad. Respectfully,

 This was followed by a telegram signed with the name of a physician, saying Private Blanks father was very low.

It is claimed that Nrr. Thompson has not only had long ex- perience in handling cattle. but that he has lGnE service as an officer 10 his credit. On this account he is re- garGed as having superior Gualifica- tiOns for discharging the duties of eat tie inspector. Mr. ThOmpson's ap- pOintment was not tinetured with po'i- tics. but came rom the sanity board at the urgent request of democrats and republicans alike in this community.
 He is g democTEt and has always been loyal to his party and to party candi- datoS. Mir. Thompson left for Phoenix yesterday with a petition containinS the rames Of almost every cattleman in this section and will file with the sanitary board tOsether with his appii- cation fer the position.
