JACKSON HOLDS
TITLE

Although it seems to be more
or less of secret, Frank Jack
son, of Iowa, holds the national
horseshoe pitching champion
ship. He will defend his title
at st. Petersburg, Fla, this
month.
This news is surprising, be-
cause it had been believed that
Johnny Wilson won the horse
shoe title when he took the mid
dlweight championship from
Mike O'Dowd.
Even Mr.. Willard has hint
ed that Mr.. Dempsey had
aomeshing closely resembling
a horseshoe in his left glove
at the Fourth of July celebra-
ton at Toledo a couple of years
ago.

TWENTY-FOURTH
IN SERIES

This is the twenty-fourth OF
a series of "Old-Time Fights"
written by authorities on pu-
gilism who were famous in their
day. Others will follow.
This is the story Of the bit
ter fight between Jim Corbett
and Charley Mitchell staged at
Jacksonville, Fla, on January
25, 1896. In this battle Cor
bett knocked out Mitchell in the
. third round of a brutal sham
BILE. His victory finally estab-
lished a clear title to the
"World's Championship"
The gladiators bore enmity
toward each other that was
rabid. Twice Corbett came
close to losing on a foul by
trying to hit at Mitchell when
he was lying on the floor.

II Herb Thormahlen returns to the
form he showed with the Yankees in
1919, the Boston Red Sox will be fairly
well off with him and Herb Pennock.
Thormahlen, who had his first taste
of big league training camp, by the
way, with the Griffs at Charlottes-
vile, looked like a real pitcher in
1919 He averaged 2.62 earned runs
per game during that season COM
pared with 4.16 last year. 1t is pos
sible that he overworked his arm that
year, as he appeared in thirty games,
for last year he was of small use to
the pennant-chasing Yanks. He was
driven from the rubber nine times
and, even when victorious, was hit
hard
Pennock proved himself a hard
worker for the Red Sox, winning six
teen and losing thirteen for Woe
fully weak outfit. Pennock figured in
thirty-seven ball games for Ed Bar
rows brigade in 1920, averaging S.6S
earned runs per game OFF his delivery.
LEONARD MAY COME BACK.
Dutch Leonard, the one experienced
southpaw with the Detroit Tigers,
may surprise folks by staging a
comeback under Ty Cobb's leadership.
Leonard, when with the Boston Red
Sox four or five years ago, ranked
His layoff during the war did him
little good. Then, last season, he
failed to get along with Jack Coombs
or Hughey jennings and deserted the
Tigers before the season closed, VOW
ing he would never pitch another
game for any club handled by Hughey
Jennings.
The appointment of Cobb to the
management of the Tigers, instead Of
keeping Leonard from reporting, has
had the opposite effect. Now he says
he will be right on the job the. first
day the squad goes to york and will
do his utmost to show Coombs and
Jennings know nothing when it comes
to doping out the condition of a
pitcher. IL Leonard does make good,
the Tigers Will be assured of at least
one real pitcher, for he is n crafty
performer out there on the hill.
Harry Harper IL hardly more than
an experiment with the Yankees. He
rallied to make good with the Red
Sox last season, but he may do better
with the New York club. For one
thing, Harper will be close to his
home for half the seass1, and this
means something to him. If he can
show any control. he may win a fair
share Of his games, for when he can
find the plate there are few more ef-
cective pitchers than this same MoXie.
KERR SHOULD SHINE.
Dick Kerr, the midget southpaw
with the Chicago White Sox, though
one OF the smallest pitchers in the
modern game, should shine this sea-
son. He proved himself there in more
ways than one In both 1919 and 1920.
lie will surely settle all his salary diff
,iculties and be on the job for the pill

Carl weilman, the veteran string

with binding speed and fine curve

operation few years ago and has
never really recovered, although he

1t was suggested to the champion
that he make pilgrimage to the tomb
of the hero of the fighting arena of
twenty-five years ago. Such, the
modern Dempsey was told, is the GUS
tom rigidly. adhered to by all great
pugilists visiting this city.
SENDS WREATH TO GRAVE.
The Dempsey who sent Jess willard
to the mat paled at the suggestion
and said no, he guessed he wouldn't
visit the resting place of that other
Jack whose stout heart broke down
when Bob Fitzsimmons. the Cornish
man, wrested from his forehead the
pugilistic crown. He sent, instead,
wreath of flowers to be laid on the
grave of the Nonpareil.

SAYS TAXES SHOULD BE CUT
Expenses Placed Upon Normal, Aftcr-the-War Basi. Be-
 fore December.

Washington.-A1os rigid economies nus be practiced by the government in the next fiscal year That is the decision Of President Harding. who hopes. through the activity ot Gen. Charles C. Dawes, Director of the Budget. and the Committee on Re- organization of Executive Dcpart- ments, of which Walter r. Brown is chairman, to have the expenses Of the government placed upon normal, sane, afterthe-war basis before Cun- gress convcnes in regular session in December
 Acting upon the known desire of the President that taxes should be reduced and not shifted and relief e:9en the taxpayers, the Ways and Mems Com mittee intends 10 report a revenue bill which will moot raise anA Ailiiae like S4,o00,0Q0,e00, together with ;he ex- pected yield from increased custom duties. This decision was reached after recent conferences with the Pres ident, at which the situation as 10 re- duced expenses of the government was discussed. The President is reported as saving that the only WAY tu reduce taYation was to reduce exptn!itures, and accordingly the fax bill will prov idc for raising revenues much be- low tla estimated S4,000, .o0o, which experts for the treasury have declared would be necessary in the next fiscal year.
