MULE TOOK BAD
CHANCE KICKING JOE
JONES IN HEAD; HE'S
DEAD-THE MULE

Huntsville, Ala, Jan. 20.--The
claim of Joseph Jones of Merri-
mac, to hospital attaches here
that he had "some beam" was
borne out to-day when his story
that he had been kicked by
mule on the head and that as
result the animal was lying help
less with broken leg, was in
vestigated and found to be true.
Jones said his way was blocked
by a stray mule and he made a
threatening gesture to frighten it
away. It refused to stampede,
however, meeting the assault
with a well-directed kick to the
brow. The mules leg was broken
in two places. 1t was pronounced
helpless cripple and shot.

New York-Sixth place in the American League pennant race will satisfy Try Cobb this year. He has hoped, however, that his team may do better.
 If Detroit manages ito finish better than sixth Cobb says he will feel thankful and will be ready to pay his respects to Lady Luck

 SEE BOXERS TRAIN

Two more boxers were added yes teTday to the list now training at the Columbia A. C. quarters, Bud Palmer, popular son of Bridgeport, and Young sherman, of New York, re- porting for work.

 Young Sherman, 1f2 pound boy, was with the A. F. F. and performed for the boys many times while over seas. He is veteran ringster, fast as lightning and packs a punch. Soon after his arrival here yesterday he donned the gloves with Steady Stead man, who is training here for his bout next Monday night under the Columbia'S auspices with Benny Weafer of Norwalk. For four rounds he gave Steadman smart workout and kept the bigger boy busy trying to keep track of him. He is anxious to be tched with any boy not more than 12~ Ipounds-

conditions this year. As result must wait and find out the men who will attune themselves ito my methods. If I should discover af- ter two months or so that certain players cannot deliver the goods, then I would go about making changes.
 Hast year we finished seventh. This year I hope to be able to finish at least sixth. If we should be lucky enough to finish a little higher would feel very thankful.
 "I have never claimed anything for our club or myself as a manager. I am simply going to do my best and finish just as high as I can. One thing sure, we will endeavor to let the opposition know that they are in a ball game every day"
 Cobb's efforts as manager of the ttBengals'' will be watched with keen interest by fans throughout the coun- try. For 5 years he has been the out standing all around star of baseball and his debut as manager and whether or>not managerial duties will effect his playing will hold the at tention of the baseball public.
