A UBELJO Herrera defeated Tom 4 A- my Daly in fifteen rounds at Baltimore on this date in 1905. About a. month before Herrera and Daly had fought Q draw in New Orleans. but in inc Baltimore argument Her rera showed clearly that he was Tom my's superior. Herrera was about the best of the Mexican boxers, Joe Rivers being the only other one in the same class.

 c TNCE the death of Albert G, 0 SpaIding the title of Grand Old Man of Baseba1P' has passed to Adrian Constantine AnsOn, for 21 years the leader of the far famed Chicago White Stockings, and, in the opinion of many old fans, the great est figure in baseball history. Pop" will pass his 67th milestone today.
 The daddy of the diamond sluggers thinks that the players of today average about as good as those of his time, but no better. He has always entertained a theory that dia- mond stars were born and not made and that the crop in the good old days was about the same as now. He denies that there is anything new under the sun, in a baseball man ner of speaking. with the possible exception of the spitbau and the sal ary envelope, which has fattened considerably since the days when he wore a. uniform.
 Ansou's major league career began in 1878, when he played third base for Al SpaIding's Chicago White Stockings. and helped the Windy City aggregation to cop the first pen nant of the National League. The following year he was made man ager of the club, and for twenty-Onc years he not only played regularly, but acted as manager and captain He was in the outheld for a couple of seasons, but in 1879 he assigned himself to first base, where he made his greatest reputation as Q. player. During his twenty-two years in the Chicago uniform Cap" played in D. 25O games. In 8947 trips tp the plate he made 1865 hits. and out Of p, 945 fielding chances he fell down on only 596. He made 21, PTS put outs and 1,O71 assists and his batting average for the twenty-two years was 337. There isn't another record like Anson's in the dope book, and there probably never will be-.

 DUsSEIL FORD, who passed out of EA active baseball history in 1915, will celebrate his 36th birthday Friday, as he was born in Manitoba on April 25, 1883.

 In the following year Ford siumped and had won only two games for the Buffeds when he was released in July.

Root and Mo Coy were originally matched to fight for the Iight-heaVyWeigh cham pion- ship of the world at Windsor, Ont, but the Canadian authorities object ed and the bout was made a ten round affair at the Metropolitan A. C. of Detroit. Root was at his best that night, but Mccoy was very evil dently in poor shape. In the first two or three rounds the clever Hoos- fer battled in something like his far mer form, but in subsequent rounds the aggressive Root was the master, and several times landed blows that gent the Kid sprawling. Only his long experience and ring generalship enabled Mccoy to go through the full ten rounds. After that Mccoy qgat the ring, but about a year later he "came back and knocked out Henri Plack 'the Dutch Mountain, 70 who had been hailed as a heavy weight wonder, in the second round of a bout staged at Philadelphia.

LANCER and Hall, the would-be bank
w%reckers, who attempted to wrs:x the
Scandinavian American bank Of Far
60, found themselves 10 aga a,t he
real thing when they had to face the
state Supreme court, for they found
that the judges could not be bought,
and that nothing would go but the
truth, so long before the trial came
off they gave up all hope Of winning
their end, SO the only real mean
thing they could do to harm the farm
mers' bank was to try to delay the
opening Of the institution, as they
well knew that the bank was solvent
and that it should never have been
closed and they began to feel sick and
there was a reason. Should the court
decide against them it meant that
they would have the cost of the court
but their bosses had no doubt told
to pay which would be no small sum,

them what they must do do it was up
to them to get busy or lose their jobs
and the fat payroll which they must
be getting for their dirty work. Well,
if this be the Ease that they r get
ting good pay for such work then we
only have this to say, that it is only
a. cheap grade Of humanity that will
try to hire anybody to stoop down to
pull off such deals, but it is still a
cheaper grade that will accept. the mo-
ney and proceed to do the job for
them. It seems that the state Su-
premee court looks at the matter in
very much the same way, for they de-
cided that the bank was solvent and
that it should open at once and go
ahead with it's business, and it was
further found that LANCER and Hall
had overstepped their authority and
that they had no business in the bank
whatever. They were ordered to keep
their hands off and the Court further
found that it was right and proper
that LANCER and his dubs should pay
all costs and expense which was a re-
suit Of their blunder, and the Court
ordered them so to do.
When the state Supreme Court
hands down such q decision it ought
to serve as an eye-opener to some Of
those who have been condemning the
state and the majority Of the people
as being insane and not capable Of
running their own affairs.

and to try and make the people think
that he is doing something is sending
out letters all over the country tell
