Minneapolis, Administrations of
seven Indians were discovered in Way
zata by members of boy scout troop
No. SO while they were digging a hole
to erect a flagpole on the crest Of Bald
hill. They were bones of man, a
woman and five children. With the
exception of the skulls, the bones we're
badly crumbled.
Arrow heads were also found Scout
Junior B. Buck has been awarded the
credit Of making the discovery.
1t confirms the old legend, accord
ing to the members of the troop, that
Bald hill was the scene of a tremend-
Gus Indian battle many years ago. 1t
is also considered probable that the
entire hill is honeycombed with Indian
graves.
If permission can be secured, the
members of the troop will conduct a
systematic search of the hill next
spring, unless a regular archaeological
expedition takes charge of the inves-
tigatfOn.

For several days l have observed q

he was longing for a trip out into the
country. In his conversations he spoke
of the cheStnuts and acorns; he men
toned the rabbit; he spoke of the fall
Gpple, and so | knew that he would
take a day off soon and refresh his
bOyhOod memories.
Mr. Bowser came down to break
fast one morning prepared for a jaunt
and he said to me:

sumter around and see farm scenes.

cheStnuts under the trees. | want to
pick the golden pippin right off the

Then you can carry the hive between

to help me, and, of course, | was
willing he should. We had to pass
over some rough ground to reach the

WILLARD MUST FIGHT se6
 FULTON OR DEMPSEY
Or Lose All Public Respect-Is Sell
 fish Gold-greedy Sportsman7

Jess Willard, the tallest circus man who ever held the heavyweight cham pionship, after much futile oratory at last has been pinned down to an un- dertaking the fulfilment of which he cannot escape without the loss of the last shred of public respect
 The champion has publicly announc- ed that he will box ten rounds with the winner of a contest between Fred tuiton and Jack Dempsey and as bout between these leading contenders for the honors will be staged in May It does not appear that Willard can avoid meeting the winner in July Should the champion attempt to wig gle out of battle with the man who is declared victor of the Fulton and Dempsey bout, Willard would meet with pugilistic ostracis.ns " H.: lard made himself unpop liar with ttiel public when he indulged in loud but apparently empty talk of figntin~ q battle for his title with Fulton Ard giving the entire proceeds to the Red Cross. and he did not heighten pubic esteem by his action in ,cancelli1lg his match with Fulton because the Minne- sotan made a poor showing against Miske.
 Willard's declaration that he can get more money for boxing ten rounds In the east than he can for fighting 100 rounds in the west and that he is not in the boxing game for his health diseloses the selfish attitude of the man. Unless he quickly changes his manner Jess eventually will become the exact antithesis of John L. Su1- livan who was the most popular cham pion in the history of pugilism.
 It would be an excellent idea for the promoters of the Fulton-Dempsey match which doubtless will take place in Milwaukee, to appoint three experts to judge the points. and if the bout goes the limit of ten rounds let the selection of the opponent for Willard hinge on the verdict of the judges.
 On the form shown by both Fulton and Dempsey the bout should prove to be one of the most interesting in history. If Dempsey can defeat Full ton there is small question of the abil- ity of the Salt Lake boxer to at least outpoint Willard in ten rounds and thus force the title holder to a longer bout for the championship.

NAVY TO TAKE PART
Walter Camp Recommends This Ac,
 na ton. ~

Announcement was made recently by Walter Camp, commissioner of ath- letics for the United States navy, that he will recommend that the track ath-s letes of the navy take part in the Pennsylvania relay games as generally as the commanding officers at the United States naval stations advice, establishes the certainty, of large entry list of some of the finest track stars of America at the Philadelphia meet. MT. Camp wrote to George w. Orton of the relay meet committee. pledging his support to the movement and endorsing a possible army-navy relay event
 It is still uncertain what form the entry of the navy men into the games will take,- but a large list is available. Commissioner Camp gave his permis- sion for the athletes to enter the games in accordance with the policy he expressed some time ago, when he stated that he would encourage the men in the navy camps to enter as many meets as is consistent with the plans of the commandants at the sta dons for military service on the part of the athletes.
 During the past few weeks MT Camp has taken the question of rec reational sports in the navy camps with all the commandants, and has received pledges on the part of all that they heatily endorse the plan of ath ietics and physical fitness, as carried out in the setting up exercises intro duced by Mir Camp, and that they be- lieve that the camp discipline, the morale and enthusiasm of the men fb, their military training are increased by them.
 Johnny Overton. the former inter collegiate distance champion, and the Yale track team captain of last sea son, is at Newport station and in the two meets which he has already en. itered this winter has shown his for. mer brilEancy. The permission giver ] by Commissioner Camp will allow
 track stars from any of the naval sta, tions on the Atlantic coast to entel the Penn meet, under conditions ore scribed by the commanding officers The matter will also be taken up witt the officers at the Great Lakes, Hi
 nois station. where Athletic Directo
 Herman Olcott has a long list of tracl stars in charge.
