James Woodward and Ashland have
sprung into prominence at the same
time.
The Inquiry has gone over Pcnnsyl-
vania. who is James Woodward, tho
aspirant for place on tho Republican
State ticlSet?"
Tho man most interested in tho per-
sonality OF James Woodward, of ASH
land is James +. Woodward, Of Allc-
gheny County. lie has been promised
the nomination for Secretary ot Internal
Affairs hv tho Republican leaders of the
Penrose following.
The Brunihnuglr mon would like 10 sec

Incumbent. named for the position. The
penrose leaders refused TO mdorse
Houck or talk harmony But hc is a
candidate.
With two James woodwurds ON the
ticket on nomination day the voters
would be confused. James Woodward
and James + Woodward look alike when
II comes to voting. As James Wood
wards name would come first on the
ballot he would likely get many more
votes than his opponent unless all the
people knew which was the genuine can
didate
Hence, James f. has taken James into
court to tell the Judges why he so sud-
dency conceived the idea Of being a can
didate. The idea in putting James
Woodward's name on the ticket is to
draw votes from James T.. Woodward
and thus permit Houck to slip In be-
tween the two.
Now. as TO James woodward the
unknown. In the first place. he sud-
denly disappeared after the nomination
papers were filed last Thursday lie ls
supposed to be kept in hiding to prevent
his being summoned into court. For
wears James Woodward has been idcuu-
fed with the Republican leaders Of
Schuylkill County.
He is an everyday sort OF a chap.

married. lie has never held political

 Victory is never more sweet than when taken from the jaws of de- feat This fact was surely demon strated to the entire satisfaction of the high school rooters when with four minutes to play the Juneau boys overcame four-point lead and then put the game on ice by adding another point in the last minute of play.

tinned, they broke the tie, then added one basket for good luck and the score stood 22 to IS in favor of the visitors. With a determina- tion not to taste defeat the high school boys came back in most spectacular way, tied the visitors score and then annexed the winning point.
 AS far as picking the best team is concerned it must be said that the Metlakatla boys were not out played They showed a cleverness that was to be admired, playing fast, clean ball, but the7- Juneau High School boys simply did not know how to take beating and the way they kept in the game is credit both to themselves and their coach
 Each team secured ten field goals, but in the matter of throwing fouls the visitors were less fortunate. Both teams failed to make a good showing on free throws; Juneau se- curing only three out of ten tries and the visitors only two out of eight chances.
 Hodges and Acklen starred for the high school with eight and ten points respectively, while Ridley secured over half of the visitors total by roping in six baskets, or 12 points, besides one basket on foul.

JOnn Lawrence SulHVan was one of the most picturesque characters ein the history of prize fighting For more than ten years, from the time he defeated Paddy Ryan in 1882, in bare knuckle fight under the Lon don prize ring rules, until he was defeated by James J. Corbett, in 1892, his personality and methods of fighting completely dominated the
 In the annals of pugilism in tl;is country two notable distinctions were his: He was the last champion in the United States to fight under the London prize ring rules. In the early days of his career, S1,000 a side was looked upon as a great sum. He received only $53 for the fight that made him a national character in fistcuffs and won him the right to challenge Paddy Ryan for the cham pionship.
 His friends ranged all the way from the ordinary flight fan" to many men of social and financial dis tinction in the United States, and it with the late King Edward VII. of England.
 He began his fighting career soon after he was seventeen, when as the Boston Strong Boy" he took part in amateur boxing contests in several cities in Massachusetts, if Sullivans customary precedence in his early youth could be called boxing. Tac- tics, strategy, plans of campaign were all swept away when John L. ham, mered his ruthless undertaking way to the front His style was atavis- tics, a return to the simple, primi- tive principle> of battering an oppo- nent into insensibility. His success, coupled with his free manners, cer- tain social triumph and his subse- quent position as semi-public char acter proclaimed him sort of dig nitary in the sporting world.
 After his nine-round fight with Paddy Ryan, on the strip of greens ward on the Gulf of Mexico, the word knockout" was manufactured by Billy Madden, Sullivan's trainer to describe the effect of his blows when properly delivered.
 His hardest fight was with Jake Kilrain It was fought near New Orleans and lasted for seventy-five rounds. That was the last cham pionship contest in the United States to be fought with bare knuckles, under the old rules.
 That fight practically decided the uselessness of trying to beat Sulli- van by combating him in his own sledge hammer style. A thirty-nine round fight with Charley Mitchell, a wary and skillful boxer seemed to show fighting managers that the great John L. might be vulnerable to a man who could box well and stay with him long enough to wear him down. The opportunity to try this method on the champion fell to James J. Corbett The purse was the largest ever put up in ring battle at that time. The purse was $25,- 900 and the stakes $20.O00. The fight that was to end John L.'s champion ship was fought before the Olympic Club of New Orleans. When the fight was over there was a new champion of the world. Sullivan was thirty-four at the time of his defeat.
