DULUTH PAPERS GIVE
JOHNSON RAW DEAL
Gave People Impression That
Local Boy Was Given a Hor-
rible Beating in Match With
Jack Whitaker.

The Duluth papers did not give
Battling Johnson of this city very
favorable writeup on the boxing
match staged at Duluth last Friday
evening between Johnson and Jack
Whitaker.
Johnson was outpointed in this
fight, although he had the Superior
lad groggy in the 3rd and 4th rounds
of the match, when he slipped over
two or three haymakers.
The Duluth papers stated that
Johnson stopped everything that
came his way, lost several teeth, had
his face and head battered and was
worsted all through the fight.
Johnson was in poor condition for
the fray, having had but two or three
days training before the match, and
because of this fact he was not as
active as usual During the first
two rounds of the match Whitaker
showered in his blows but aside from
having a cut ear and few scratches
johnson was not hurt. During the
third and fourth rounds Johnson
landed several hard wallops which
made the Superior lad groggy. The
5th and 9Th rounds went to the
fighting Finn although no damage
was done to the Battler.
The local boy was not hurt in the
match, the Duluth papers to the con-
trary.
An effort is being made to match
johnson and Whitaker for return
match to be staged at Ashland. The
Washburn boy promises to be in
shape for his next match.

The long undefeated Ashland High

day night, when she went on to the
court of the local Y. NJ C. A. No
game nthe history of Washburn has
ever created such comment and ex-
citement as did this game.
After two or three years of hard
practice our boys accomplished the
one thing for which they have al
ways hoped, in this glorious defeat
The old line up was on the floor from
the start, and finished the game
Blexrude, Warden, Wedin, Morris and
Beck.
Ashland fought hard and played
well but her boys were absolutely un-
able to stand up against the consist.

offense of the Washburn quintet
Every time that Washburn recovered
the ball Ashland would throw ur
her supposedly inpenetrable i've mer
defense and just as often as she die
it Washburn broke it UP for her
While on the other hand the Ashland
boys could not begin to get through
our defense and wore themselves oui

FINE RECORD
FOR SAFETY
PLANT COMPLETES PERIOD
WITHOUT ACCIDENT
Entire Plant Goes for a Period
of Ten Calendar Months With
out Single Major Accident.
A Fine Record.

The employees Of the du Pont Pow
derCompany at Barksdale and their
safety engineer Mr.. G. L. Knots
have reason to feel mighty proud
ever record which is being made at
the Barksdale works for safety, the
entire plant having completed a
period of ten months without single
major accident.
BY major accident it means that
no man in the employ of the Du Pont
company has been compelled to lose
more than one half day as a result
of an accident.
Some departments at the plars
have gone for a period OF more than
year without a single accident, but
the record now given is for every de-
partment of the plant under the
charge Of the du Pont company, and
considering the number of men en-
ployed, is record that would be hard
to beat and shows to what extent the
company and the employees 60 In
order to prevent accident.
The strictest safety rules and re-
guations are in force at the works,
machines are guarded as well as It Is
possible to guard them, and men ara
given instructions as to how to
avoid accident. aI
The record is a fine one and every.
one is proud of it The company and
the men hope to complete year with
out major accident and with two
months more this objective will be
accomplished.
The Barksdale schools have asked
the du Pont comany to install safety
methods in their schools, and Mr..
Knotts will hold the first safety
meeting at the Ondossagon High
School on Thursday of this week.

The Scouts basketball team took
trip to the Twin Ports last Friday
and Saturday ,and played two hard,
fast games, both Of which were de-
cided by close scores. In Duluth,
the Boys Dept. Senior Y Team nosed
them out in the last few minutes Of
play, by the score of 16 TO IA, on
Friday evening; the next night they
tackled the Monarchs, of Superior.
and emerged on the long end Of a
|10 to score.
In the first game, the Duluth boys
apparently didn't intend to take the
Scouts seriously, and on the strength
| of appearances, it looked like prac-
tice game for them, up to the time
| it began. Duluth scored first, after
about two minutes of play, and al
most Immediately afterward, Hag-
lund rolled in one for Washburn.
This seemed to tickle the Duluth
players, who smiled knowingly at
each other, as if to say ,"Well, well!
Isn't that peculiar, now? That
couldn't happen again in thousand
years. y" They seemed to think that
their small opponents from the back
woods had blundered somehow into
making a basket, but before they had
gone much further, they found that
the hicks from Washburn were saw
ing wood at an alarming rate The
half ended with the Scouts ahead by
the score of to s, and the Duluth
Seniors gathered together in solemn
colniclave, with much knitting Of the
brows, to see what was to be done
about it.
The second half was slamrbang,
whiri-wind affair, with the Scouts
getting the worst of it. Duluth
played five-man defense and q
four-man attack, and the latter event
ually wore down the Scout defense
by sheer weight, enough to pull the
game out Of the fire. Shoresman and
Cease covered themselves with glory
lin breaking up this attack-Shores-
man By mailing the ball and stopping
at dead, and Cease by his old slight
of-hand stunt Of shaking the ball
out of the ness, and going up the
feer with it before his opponent miss
ed 1t at ALL The other three boys
all played hard, but seemed to have
difficulty in connecting with the bas'
ket when it was most needed. Duluth
ran up a 4 point lead, which Cease
cut down to two with neat basket
just before the whistle.
