AN ELyINs CONTROVERSY

Elvins, Mo-, May 90, 1921.
Editor Pennington Times:---
Dear Sir: In your issue of last
week ] read what purported to be an
interview with the Marshal of Elvins,
Mr.. w. A. Black, wherein he, MIR.
Black, tries to cast aspersions on the
official acts of the new police judge.
Now, being that Police Judge, l ask
that you give me just little space
that may state my side of the case,
so that the people may know and
judge for themselves whether it is
the Police Judge or the Marshal who
are laying down on the job of clean
ing up Elvins."
In speaking about his "call" to the
"old red barn." Mr.. Black. says he
found the house Overlooking" with
scores of men in the yard" "Some
drum, es6me were or had been drink
ingj some seemed to be sober" Fact
is, Mr.. Black acknowledges he Yves not
positive Of sane sober man on the
whole premises. Now read Article

city IN afstate of intoxication in any
way, thoroughfare or other public
place, or on the premises of another,
shall be deemed guilty of q rnisdemean-
or, and on conviction shall be fined not
to exceed ten dollars
Now, Mr.. Black says he was +satis-
fed there was, or had been, bootleg
ging going on there, but was kept

sweet clover from A. |. Root Of Me-
idna, Ohio, which, ! think, isthe same

sample in 1919, and got two plants,
from which i raised two tablespoon
fuls Of hulled seeds. Last year
sowed these two spoons Of seed and
saved a peck Of unhulled seed.
Like biennial sweet clover, it will
not do well On poor or sour soil. If
sown soon and kept moist It win ma

Long Southpaw Traded for
Pitcher Jimmy Ring and

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 23.--Eppa
Jeptha Rixey, the long left-hander
has been traded by the Philhes to ths
Cincinnati Reds for Outfelder
Greasy Neale and Pitcher Jimmy
Ring. 1t was a straight trade, ne
money being involved.
Rixey Joined the Phillies in 1919.
He had been the star OF the Univer-
sity of Virginia nine, and the Wash
ington club tried in vain to sign him.
Umpire Rigler, at that time coach at
Virginia, signed Rixey for the Phil
lies, thereby getting into trouble with
the National Commission. A rule was
later passed keeping umpires from
signing players for clubs.
Ring has been with the Reds for
four seasons. He 10 a capable right

crook when he saw his title slipping
away from him. Attell always was
a rough person in the ring, and he
employed every trick he had learned
in his long years Of knocking around
the country. He had his body cover
ed with oil, and the referee had to
wipe him dry. He heeled and butted
and gouged and once grabbed Kill
bane's left arm in a jiu jitsu lock. try.
ing to break the bones by bending
1t back.
Kilbane relied to a great extent on
left to score points for him. He also
used a right cross at times, but was
too wary to take many chances with
his right. His left jab won him the
decision and the title.
ACTED LIKE A MASTER.
NAttell did his best to talk Kilbane
out Of the fight. He assumed the tone
of a master addressing a pupil, trying
everything he could think Of to sap
the youngsters confidence. Kilbane
must have been greatly impressed by
this. for he afterward adopted the
same trick himself.
Whenever he enters the ring with
youngster he tries the effect OF Q
little salve? BE nice now, kid, and
you won't get hurt" is the general
drift of his remarks. With seasoned
opponents he has to adopt more SUBJ
tie methods of shaking their confi-
dence.
AS Kilbane grows older he Is be-
coming more anA more an actor and
less fighter. He plays to the crowd,
always wearing an expression that
seems to say, what could do to this
fellow would be a shame IL I only
cared to cut loose" But he never
cuts loose. and he never will unless
nature grants him the boon of new
heart and lungs.

Der of frst-class players have been
added to the Rover Club during the
past week and the local organization,

FANNIE DURACK RETIRES
. AFTER A GREAT CAREER

The retirement OF Miss Durack.
marks the passing of one of the
greatest swimmers of either sex the
world has known. AS girl 4, her
teens she rose to international leader
ship, then retained undisputed SUI
premacy for many years, so vastly
superior to all rivals to be abso-
iutely In a class by herself.
In the early period Of her brilliant
career she placed to her credit all the
regulation free-style worlds records
for women from ffty yards to one
mile, and for more than decade
thereafter she alone proved able to
improve the feats she performed that
often they taxed ones credulity.
Champions of all other nations trailed
far behind her.
Indeed, despite the sensat nal
progress made in swimming for wo-
men In recent years, some of the marks
she set remain unbeaten to this Gay.
Her time OF 26.08 for one-mile has
not even been approached.

In those days Attell was in the
same position as Kilbane finds him
self now. Long years of service in
the ring had worn him out and he no
ponger was able to cope successfully
with the younger and stronger set
But he was more-successfu1-i In hfdink
his real condition than Kilbanesis d
the present time. Whenever some
rugged youngster outpointed him in a
no decision bout Attell always sought
to create the impression that he had
saved his opponent up for another
bout.
HE WAS A SENSATION.
Kilbane was something of sensa-
tion before he met Attell. He had
knocked out Joe Rivers, the noted
Mexican, and had beaten many other
good men. Attell had shaded him in
a ten round bout, but that was over
two years earlier, and Abe must have
known well enough thaS he was talk
ing desperate chances with his title
when he consentel to meet the Cleve-
lander in the Vernon arena near Los
Angeles on Feb, %. 1912.
Attell was never a modest violet
when it came to discussing his share
Of the receipts Of a battle. This
match looked very much like his last
as champion and he was in desperate
was wrought up over the affair and
there was no question that it would
attract a capacity crowd, and yet all
Attell had the nerve to demand was
SO, 500, win, lose or draw.
Kilbane was to receive $4,000 for
his end, or less than one-half what
the champion demanded. Attell was
not letting anything escape him, but
it never occurred to him to demand
everything in sight. Ring finance
among the champions had not pro-
gressed so far at that time. 90.
BIG FINANCIAL SUCCESS.
The bout was a tremendous financ-
ial success as viewed in those days.
1t attracted the biggest gathering of
fight fans that ever had attempted to
enter the famous Vernon arena.
Noarly 10000 persons saw the fight.
and more than half that number were
turned away. The receips were close
to $4,000.
Andy CLANCY and Charley Beecher
drew nearly $4,000 for their second
rate exhibition.
The fight was an interesting one al
though not sensational. The maiu

NO PLAYER INDIsPENsABLE.
No ball player is indispensable to
the success Of any ball club. You
may take any ball club and any player
and prove this contention. Too many
so-called indispensable" players
have been sold or traded in the past
without running their clubs or even
making their new clubs contenders.

can get along with Frank Ellerbe and
