The oft quoted Finnigan has a rival in
Pat Donahue. an Ohio freight conductor,
whose train had breakdown recently.
After the accident he sent this message
to Train Dispatcher Straight:

The delegation Of lumbermen who
went to Washington to see what could
be done to relieve situation which
appeared to be threatening the entire
industry in Maine regarding labor
classification, came back bringing as
surances that the matter would be re-
viewed and in all probability adjusted
to their satisfaction. 1t was argued
that numbering was essentially a war

John Pershing for president Of the
United States in 1920 and to work for
his nomination and election"

State Auditor Kositzky is trying to
get himself before the public by re-
fusing to issue warrant to George A.
Mcfarland for $3.50 monthly as al
lowed by the board of regents. If the
state auditor is going to run the bust
ness of the entire state, and the non-
partisans are going about it to draft
bills to put three official newspapers
in each county out Of business and
have just one to be selected by the
league, the legislature might as we'll
abolish the board of regents as we'll as
the rest of the state officials and let
Kositzky do it. We have always
thought the state had too many on the
pay roll, now we are sure Of it. The
board of regents granted Mr.. McFar-
land one years pay in lieu Of vaca-
ton and just why Mr.. State Auditor
should want Harvey Taylor to pay
It back is conundrum. Anyway Tay-
lor is tickled most to death over the
situation and his appetite has not been
impaired by the order of the gentle
man in the state auditors office at
Bismarck.

Tom Mooney says he does not want
to live and serve a life sentence in
jail but would rather die a martyrs
death at the hands of his traducers.
There were many who died a martyrs
death at the hands of the bomb throw
ers in San Francisco for which Mr..
Mooney was convicted as one of the
perpetrators. Now socialists and l.
w. w. together with lot of labor
agitators are now bounding the gov
ernor Of California to free this man
using the club of labor as a threat.
The governor has committed the SEN
tence and until something turns up
to convince us differently we are still
of the opinion that Mooney is getting
off light. Any man who travels with
that kind Of a bunch is condemned
from the start because it is just his
kind that resort to bomb throwing.
If new testimony is produced to show
that he was wrongfully convicted then
we are ready to say that Thos. J.
Mooney should go free, but he was
tried by fair jury and it looked as
if he were guilty of the charge. There
is too much politics mixed in with our
dispensation of justice these days.

The Valley City Courier is no more
but in it's place has arisen from the
ashes The Peoples Opinion. The plant
of the Courier was last Saturday night
purchased by company of Barnes
county farmers and is now their prop
erty and will be published under the
new name. Messrs. Hubbard & Jac-
OLSON have sold out entirely to the
farmers and Mr.. Hubbard will be re-
tanned as editor and manager of the
Peoples Opinion. For long time the
farmers have been dickering for the
purchase of a plant here so that they
could have a paper to meet their politi-
cal views, and on Saturday night the
deal was finally completed and the new
ownership taken over. We are told
that It is the intention of the new own
ers to conduct clean, purely farmers
paper with no desire to sling mud or
in any way to antagonize anybody. If
this line is carried out there is no rea-
son why the rest Of the newspaper
men of the city and the new regime
should not get along splendidly.

FIsTIC HISTORY

It was on April 16, 1896, just TWEEN
ty-two years ago today, that Tom
Sharkey knocked out Joe Choynski
in the eigth round at San Francisco.
Those who saw the contest will never
forgot it. Tom was a raw, rude, star"
just out of the navy, and with no rep
utation, while Choynski was a fin
ished veteran boxer. The sailors in
San Francisco went hook, line and
sinker on Tom, while the wise sports
covered every cent onerec, conrIdent
that Joe would make a monkey out
of the sailor. The veteran had the
advantage in height and reach, but
the Irishman was heavier. At first
it looked as though Sharkey didn't
stand a chance to hold out very long.
Choynski knocked Tom clear out OF
the ring, and the big tar landed on
top of a bunch of reporters. Every
body thought he was out, but Tom
climbed back and resumed hostilities.
A little later Choynski again knocked
Tom through the ropes and he lit on
the floor on his bean. "A little thing
like that didn't bother Sharkey much
except to make him mad, and he
Immediately climbed back into the
ring and started to rough it. Choyn-
ski was utterly discouraged and
fought on the defensive, but in the
eighth Sharkey landed the blow
that put the veteran to sleep.

Johnny EVERS
QUITS BOSTON

Boston, April 16-Stating that he
considered his connection with the
team thing of the past, John J.
Evers, coach of the Boston American
League club, left for his home in
Troy, N. Y, last night.
Evers did not appear in uniform
yesterday when the Red Sox opened
the season with the Philadelphia Ath-
letics and explained that this was by,
request of Ed Barrow, the manager.
Evers already has communicated
with one National League team in res
gard to a possible playing or coaching
position this season and may also go
to the new International League as
manager of the Jersey City team.
While Evers watched yesterdays
game from the grand stand Charles
(Heinie) Wagner, former captain and
infider of the team, made an unex-
pected appearance in uniform and
coached at third base. Barrow an
nounced that Wagner had been ac-
quired as coach and scout.

MCCARTHY after
PORTO'S SCALP
Hartford Bowler Who Re-
fused to Enter Tourney Is
sues Defii.

Evidently Andy Mccarthy, the
Hartford bowler is getting jealous of
Joe Porto's classy work in the state
individual bowling congress as the
Capitol City man is now visiting the
newspaper offices with challenges to
the Elm City star.
If we remember correctly Mccarthy
was asked to enter the tourney when
it first started but declined. Here
is what the Hartford Courant of this
morning has to say about the pro-
posed challenge:
THE, only reason why a match will
not be arranged is because Porto
may show signs of fear when he
reads the def that Mccarthy has hurl-
ed at him. The Capital City bowler,
announces that he will roll Porto on
neutral alleys for the title McCar-
thy now holds and for side bet of
$500, and to show that he really
thinks that he has an edge over the
New Haven bowler, he makes an even
more attractive proposition. He will
bowl Porto in home-and-home SER
les, an equal number of strings on
the Casino Alleys in this city and the
same number on any alleys in New
Haven that Porto may choose, and
Mccarthy will wager $500 to $500
that he defeats the New Haven duck
pin artist. It is now up to Porto.
Moreover, the return engagement
which Bob Stone has been asking for
with Mccarthy now lies in the hands
of the Waterbury bowler, and the de-
lay in staging it does not rest with
Champion Mccarthy. Somewhat over
ten days ago Mccarthy called Stone
on the telephone, informing the Wa
terbury bowler that he was ready
and willing to meet him in another
match and afford him chance to re-
gain the title that he lost. Stone re-
piled that he would let Mccarthy
know in day or two, but since then
Mac" has heard nothing from the
Brass City. He is waiting for Stone
to say when the return match will
take place."

POP ANSON'S
BIRTHDAY

1t will be Sixty-siX years ago to-
morrow since Adrian Constantine An
son, one of the most distinguished OF
American citizens, first saw the light
of day at MarshalltoWn, Ia Over
forty of these years have been spent
by Arson in baseball, beginning with
a. kid" nine and continuing as player,
manager and in other capacities in
the big league. During his palmy
days as manager of the Chicago club,
Pop" or cap" Arson, as he was
popularly known, was the greatest
pilot baseball has ever produced. His
career traversed the whole history
of baseball, from it's first crude form
to the highly developed pastime of
today.
Forty-three years ago Arson &C
companied the Philadelphia Athletics
on the first transatlantic tour in base
ball history, when the Athletics and
the Bostons gave Englishmen and
Irishmen their first view of the great
American game. When the National
League was organized in 1876 Arson
played third base on the Chicago
team. Succeeding A. G. Spaulding
as manager of the club, Arson built
up a great baseball machine which
became the pride of the Windy City
fans and remained SO for many years.
In 1888 Arson piloted his players
around the world, returning in 1889
to face the difficult situation brought
about by the revolt of the players,
who had formed brotherhood" to
protect themselves in VIII; t they con-
sidered their rights. .Anson refused
to join the instruction, but his play
ers did. That put an end to the glory
of the old Chicago club and it took
years to build up another organiza-
ton which, under Frank Chance
again put Chicago in the pennant
class.

JESS AND FREDDIE
CAN FIGHT IN N. J.

John S. Smith, chairman of the
New jersey Boxing Commission,
yesterday declared that he had no
objection to the W illard-Fulton
fights taking place in New Jersey
ring. Smith admitted he would be
it out in Atlantic City, where Smith
resides, provided the fighters
pledged all the receipts to war
delighted to have the boxers fight
fund.
Smith corrected the erroneous
impression that outdoor boxing
would be taboo in New Jersey. He
said that there probably would be
no outdoor boxing in Atlantic City,
owing to the uncertain weather
conditions at the seaside resort, but
that wherever outdoor bouts were
possible they would be permitted.
Commissioners Grain and Cam also
expressed themselves as being in
favor of outdoor boxing.

Sox, with the mighty Babe Ruth in
the box, defeated the Philadelphia
Athletics in the opening game of the
1918 American League season. The
score was to 1, which about meas

The spirit of the times was reflect
