SIGMAN AND STONE
 HAVE A FISTIC DUEL

The climax of the fighting was a fistic battle of one fast and furious round by Sigman and Pitcher Lee Stone of the Travellers. Stone was coaching at third in the first inning and he and Sigman exchanged com plments, while the rest of the BIr- mingham club was gathered around Umpire Harry Johnson, protesting over his decision that McGinnis' drive, which rolled under the bleachers in right field, was a home run. Johnscn held that the ball had gone out of sight, but the Barons held otherwise.
 While they were at it, Stone rushed on to the field. swung a wicked risht to Sigman's jaw and the two clinched and went down in a pile. Players, po- lice and umpires pulled them apart and both were sent out of the game. Stone alleges that Sigman used abusive language toward him. Sigman had been hit for five runs and Molesworth was about ready to take him out.
 Coffindaffer went in and pitched good ball until the seventh, when he weakened. With two runners on an7 three balls and one strike on Bacon, Crews went in and finished walking Bacon. Then he famed Karr and Frierson. He famed Kinsella and Grimm in the eighth. The Travellers put one over in the ninth, but Crews stopped them before they could tie the

He HAD NOT A FRIEND?
Now CIemcnccau Has Changed
His Mind About Matter.

Paris. Feb. 20.-Premier Clemen-
ceau not so very long ago used to say
that he did rot believe he had a real
friend in France. He still cherished
that belief after the victory over the
Germans. but it would seem that ne
can no longer do SO, for this morn
ing's Paris newspapers are a unit in
expressing sympathy for and praise OF
the wounded statesman.
Two extracts from newspapers of
widely varying views may be cited in
this connection Says the Humanite,
the Socialist organ: Premier Glenn :
enceau was yesterday our determined,
formidable adversary and he will be
tomorrow. 1t leaves us only the freer
to stigmatize the idiotic attempt from
which he has happily escaped
On the other hand, the Libre Paro-
leuj, the royalty and anti-Semitic
newspaper. says: ''AlI Frenchmen, no
matter If they disa gree with Premier
Clemenceau will deplore the attempt
and rejoice that the results will appar-
emily not be serious"

SIDEWALKS IN COUNTRY
Amos Bill, Favored in Senate, Pro-
vidcs Pleasure Highway.

A nice, clean, hard sidewalk placed
and laid along the edge of a country
road
Such a disVensation at the hands of
Providence seems almost impossible to
realize-yet a bill by W. M. Amos in
troduced in the house some time ago
and providing for just such a blessing
was recommended for passage by the
senate Wednesday.
Under the terms of the bill cit shall
be lawful for the township board of
any township to establish and main
tain a sidewalk not more than five
feet in width along the outer edge of
any highway whenever a petition for
such sidewalk is signed by the resi-
dent owners representing one-half or
more of the property abutting upon
the improvement sought to be made
As originally intended the bill would
have affected cities of the first class,
but as it stands now the bill affects
even the country districts and makes
possible a cross-state or an up-and-
down-state sidewalk for pedestrians.

CALL BILL A FREAK
Kansas Auto Dealers Frown on
Schoch Mechanic Measure.

Kansas automobile dealers as rep
resented by the Kansas Automobile
Dealers association, which met in To-
peka at the Elks' club Wednesday, en-
terrain an opinion that the Schoch
pure mechanic bill is a freak and
should be carefully skidded from the
consideration of the present legisla-
ture.
The dealers say that it is next to
impossible to license mechanics in any
fair way either to the men them
selves or to the patrons of the repair
shops for motor cars. The dealers
point out that many repair men now
working in Kansas shops are special
lists and could not pass a general ex-
animation. The Schoch bill was intro
duced in the legislature two years age
but received scant consideration.
Schoch fntimates that the bill will be
introduced again at the next session
of the legislature if the present body
fails to pass the measure.
