circuit.
His decision to quit the game in
which he served so faithfully and SO
long has been forced not by a natural
loss of interest or inability to play at
the speed required in the big leagues,
but by grief over the death Of his
brother and father and added RESPONSE
bilities which have developed upon
linn as a result.

Fletcher began his career as pro-

Of 1907 John McGraw saw him for

HIGH DARK HORSES
ON CINDER RUNWAY
IN ACTION SATURDAY

Thinly clads of the high school will
get into action for the first time this
season when they stage a dual match
with the tracksters from Newcastle on
Reid field Saturday afternoon, May Z.
AS this is the first performance of
the local track men little can be said
as to their ability. The local high
school has been without track team
for the past two seasons and the team
is more or less of the dark horse type.
Newcastle comes here as highly
touted team having practically the
same team as last year, which finished
second in the district meet held at
Connersville. The Rose City lads have
a we'll balanced team and the outcome
of the meet is hard to predict.
Opponents Third Meet
This will be Newcastle's third meet
of the season. The Rose City lads are
in high spirits after their meet with
the fast Connersville team last Satur-
day, which they dropped by few
points. Connersville has a wonderful
team this year and is the class of this
district. The close score the New.
castle lads held them to has sent their
spirits sky high.
Coach Null has, been working his
men hard for the past two weeks and
they are in perfect condition for the
coming season. His work has consist
ed mostly Of starts and he has not
held time on any Of the lads in the
practices. Some of the boys, however
are thought to be stepping off some
fast time in the dashes and hurdles.

washington, Sept. 10. - President

Atlantic City last Sunday.
Land grants aHd work are recon-

Disabled Veteran, organ Of the Dis

cation says unreservedly that the cash
bonus should not be passed because Of
the economic burden it would place
upon the country as whole, and
more particularly upon the veterans
themselves.

pay the bonus,' says the veterans
organ, "and he is going to get 1t out
