Veteran Winfield Hcrseman Dies at
the Home of His Daughter Where
... He Has Been Visiting
for Some Time.

his last race. He passed under the
wire Saturday morning in the home

at { Winfield, Iowa, where he was
visiting.
While the veteran horseman has
| been suffering all summer and was
critically i'll just before the Burling-
ION Tri-State fair, he rallied and de-
lighted hundreds Of his admirers by
driving winning races at that time.
He was suffering then, and has
continued to suffer, but as game as
he expected his horses to be when
he scored them down for the word,
he made light of his illness. Friends
were not prepared for the news that
came from Winfield Saturday noon.
Few horsemen in the middle west
we're better known than Tip" John
son. and none had a greater reputa-
ton of fairness and honesty in rae
ing. He was a great driver of I'M
usual ability.
While Zip" Johnson owned many
good horses in his time and always
, drove the best he could get, he will
nerhaps be recalled oftener in con-
nection with the Wapello Girl,
daughter of Iowa Sentinel, stallion

James D. Smyth, a life long friend of
the dead horseman, says, was one of
the handsomest mares that ever

From France.

Rockford, Ills, Nov. 1.-"After
spending seventeen months in
France, during which time was
gassed,' says George E. Severance
a world war veteran who lives In
Rockford at 1926 West State Street
II realized when / got back home
that my system was in dreadfully
rundown condition. / was so weak
ened and nervous that was really
unfit for any kind of work. The
food Il ate soured in my stomach,
and my bowels would go for three
or four days without an action. 1t
was next to impossible for me to
sleep at night.
II have made gain of five pounds
in weight since / began taking Tru-
tona, and | certainly feel stronger In
every way My food digests prop
erly now, and my bowels act regu-
larly every day, too. Furthermore
sleep as / should at night, also. I'm
glad to make this statement in praise
of Trutona for the good it has done
me. and to help other sufferers"
Now is the time to get after your
rundown system, like Mr.. Severance
did, Let Trutona rebuild your nerves
and tissues, and restore the strength
which hot summer weather has

your greatest asset, and almost in

From q Staff Corresnondent

CHESTER, S. c., April 7. - Barn
storming trips through the "sticks'
have always had their disadvantages
and though the Yankees and Dodgers
this season have taken rather un-
pretenious towns, as compared to
itineraries of other major clubs tour
ing jointly, both are paying a heavy
penalty. No less than three athletes
were disabled in yesterdays game at
Greenville as a result of playing on
a d-baked, clay field, whose base
sockets were set in concrete.
Aaron Ward, Of the Yankees, and
"Chuch" Ward, of the Dodgers, were
injured on one play. Aaron, in sliding
back to second base. spiked "Chuck"
in six places on the right hand, and
at the same time wrenched his own
right knee SO badly he will be lucky
to get back in the game inside Of a
fortnight. Aaron left this afternoon
at $3.50 for New York to have the in
jured knee treated. The knee seems
full of water. Manager Huggins is
hopeful he may be patched up in time
to get in the games to be played at
Ebbets Field.
"Chuck" Wards injuries are in no
manner serious. He might have played
to-day in a pinch, but Robbie decided
to give him a rest. Zack Wheat, of
the Dodgers, hurt his left thumb in
fielding ground ball, and he, too,
seems to need few days rest

BY BRIGGS


V1LLANOVA, Pa, April T.. The
Fordham University baseball team de-
feated Villanova here to-day in a
poorly played game by the score of s
to 6. A high wind blew across the
field, and as result numerous errors
were made by both teams. After the
home nine had scored five runs dur
ing the first five innings, the Maroon
finally pushed run across the plate
in the fifth frame on two successive
doubles by Mclaughlin and Halloran.
Villanova scored again in its half of
the same inning on Cullum's triple and
a passed ball.
The New Workers staged rally in
the sixth round and took the lead by
one run. Fahey and Start walked and
Donovan singled, filling the bases.
Finn was safe on Byrne's error and
Fay scored. Mclaughlin then singled
to left field, scoring Start and Dono-
van. Halloran was hit bv Yadusky
and the bases were again loaded
Buckley hit safely to left field and
Halloran followed Mclaughlin over the
plate with the tieing tally. Buckley
then put his team in the lead by COM
pleting the circuit when Byrne al

TWelve-Round Bouts
Assured i'm New Jersey

TRENTON. N. j., April 1.-THE Sen
ate to-day passed bill designed to
legalize twelve-round boxing bouts in
New Jersey. The bill now goes to
Governor Edwards for his signature,
the measure having recently passed
the Assembly. Boxing bouts in this
state at present are limited to eight
rounds.
Senator Simpson, Of Hudson County,
in advocating the measure, said that
boxing as conducted in New Jersey is
a good, clean sport and had proved
very popular 1t was necessary, he
said, to extend the number of rounds
in order that boxing clubs in New
Jersey might more nearly meet the
onpettion Of other states. The vote
on the bill was II to 0.
