JACK JOHNSON TO STAY
IN JAIL FOR RESENTENCE

CHICAGO, July 2s.-"Jack johnson
is in jail and he is going to stay
there until he is resentenced The
Federal Government Is going to fEht
until the last ditch any effort to free
him on bond"
This was the declaration today of
United States District Attorney
Charles +. Clyme, of Chicago.
Jail" he added, lis just as good a
place for him as any" He will find
there plenty of pleasant company of
his own kind. Better men than he are
in Sail. 1t is not the policy of the
Federal Government to show any
leniency toward fugitive from
justice. That Is what he is.
His friends, of course, have plenty
of money to fight the case for him,
but they will find the Government on
hand at every move.
"He will stay in the Joliet Jail
until September, when Judge Carpen-
ter will rule whether Johnson is en-
titled to be admitted to bail again.
He forfeited his bail once.

RUTH MUST MAKE
BUT ELEVEN MORE
Has Fifty-mne Games in Which
To Shatter Perry Wer-
den'S Mark.

Having shattered his own major
league record for home runs in one
season, Babe Ruth is now out to set
a mark never before reached in pro-
fessional baseball in either the major
or minor leagues. Back in 1895 Perry
Werden, then a member of the Min
neapolis Club of the American Asso-
citation, made 45 circuit drives in the
course of a season. In other minor
leagues more than thirty have been
made, owing usually to some particu-
lar nearby fence.
Unless Ruth is forced out OF the
New York lineup by a severe acci-
dent it Is probable that he will go
several home runs beyond the mark
which Werden reached twenty-five
years ago. The Yankee slugger made
his thirty-fifth home run at the Polo
Grounds Sunday, and as the Yankees
have to play fifty-nine more games
to complete their season, Ruth should
easily add twelve or fifteen more cir
cult drives before the curtain is rung
down on the American League race.
He hardly has to pass Werden's :
mark to attain the honor Of being
the greatest long distance hitter in
the history OF baseball, as that fact
is generally admitted. but as long as
there is a record in the offing Ruth is
willing to shoot at II.
Pitchers have tried every known
method to discover some weakness in
Ruth's hitting. but to date mono has
been found. The slow ball plan, SO
successful against siuggers, ordi-
narily does not work against Ruth,
and he has shown an ability to hit a
curve or fast ball out of the lot,
whether II Is high or low, inside or
outside. -
American League pitchers attest to
the fact that Ruth can hit anything
he can reach. and hit IL out OF the lot.
Furthermore, he is credited with pos
sessing the keenest eye in the game,
because he is able to follow the
course OF ball accurately while
making a longer swing than any
other batsman In baseball.

But still it grew colder and colder.
Heavy bumps sounded on deck, prob

were snapped on only to gasp and die
as the filaments succumbed to the

In our state room the air became a

They were hurried to the hotel and

and began looking for our dogs. Or

find them.
Ever lose your dogs? Ever think
Won had? 1t is a horrible situation,
merely the thought of finishing life

that had carried you so far and so

SO we snapped on the light. There
were the dogs, all right But all IRE

Swedish gymnastics restored them 10
life. We went back to bed.
At . o'clock a fog horns cavernous
