HORSESHOE PITCHERS
WILL HOLD NATIONAL
MATCHES IN FLORIDA

st. Petersburg, Fla, Jan. H.
Barnyard golf, as the sport OF
pitching horse-shoes has come to
be popularity known, thrives in
Florida, which always has been
the mecca of the enthusiasts of the
game in winter. It's supporters are
looking forward to the national
championship matches to be held
here beginning on Washington's
birthday, February 22nd, Cham
pions. ex-champions and would
be champions at present are BUSY
practicing and two dozen or more
courts are kept running here from
morning till night. The cham
pionship matches will attract
crack pitchers from all parts of the
country.
The horse shoe pitchers have
developed the game to a high de-
gree. The equipment of first
class park includes a lodge or
clubhouse for keeping the horse
shoes, small hand laundry to
wash and dry towels for use OF
the players during the progress
of matches, hydrant of running
water for the players to wash their
hands after handling the shoes
which sink deeply into the SOFT
earth about the pegs, q rakerg. 10
keep the earth smooth about the
pegs during the matches, and a
small blacksmith shop to keep
the shoes and pegs in first-class
condition as the game is rough
on them. ..N
The courts require a pitching
distance of SO feet. A match OF
two men is called the walking
game as the players walk back and
forth from peg to peg during the
progress of the match. In four
man match the players play part
ners and remain in their places at
the ends of the court.
In the Journeys so points consti-
tute a game, while in ordinary
contests II points is the total re-
quired by the winner. A ringer"
counts three points. The horse
shoes weigh about two and halt
pounds each. They are regulation
horse shoes which have never been
used on horses. Many fans car
nv their own shoes and bestow on
them the same care that a golfer
does on his clubs.

ed to an attack made on A. c.

leaves the field of opinion and pre-
tends, at least. to state facts, when
he declares that Mr.. Townley and
his tribe fought every war drive,
opposed the sale of Liberty bonds,
refused contributions to the Red
CT oss, discouraged the selective
service law and voluntary enlist
ments, and so on"
The -partisans We're in con-

said, adding:

highest per cent of any state. The
Red Cross allotment was Oversub-
scribed 2SS per cent, standing
seventh of all states. The Y M.

The governor denied that the
nCn-partisan league is arousing
class antagonism.
Our only fight is against the
small parasitic class which, through
the control of agricultural mar
kets, finances and railroads, have
cut the farmers prices in half, de-
