Sioux Nation Powerful and
Warriors Are Hostile

The Sioux nation, flushed with
its success in Kidding the country
surrounding Fort Phil Kearney
Wyoming, from whites and forcing
the abandonment of that post, was
at this time arrogant and extreme
ly hostile to whites. The country
about Fort Buford was infested
with these Indians, who made war
on every occasion on the American
trappers and traders along the
river, as we'll as upon their heridi-
tary enemies, the eros Ventres and
Arickarees. So dangerous was the
passage of the trail between Fort
Buford and the next army post
down the river, Fort Stevenson,
that mail between the forts had to
be accompanied always by an es-
cort of cavalry.
One day, not long after Kelly's
arrival at the fort, the mail car
riers from down the river had be-
come considerably overdue and
the post commander gave them up
as lost. There was important mail
to be carried to Fort Stevenson,
but every soldier at the post was
needed for other duties and there
was none to spare for guarding the
mail 1t was then that Kelly, look
ing pathetically youthful, went to
the officer in charge and volun-
teered to carry the mail to Steven
son alone. A group standing near
by heard the offer and a shout of |
laughter went up. Kelly was re-
fused permission He announced
calmly that he was going to make
the journey in any event, and was
SO persistent that the post COM
mander finally decided to let him
start to see what he could do. They
therefore furnished him with
pony, and with the mail in a sack
he set out at dusk of a winter even
ing from the walls of the post.
Crossing the Missouri river on
the ice he reached a winter camp
Of the friendly Mandan Indians at
midnight, tarrying there for few
minutes only. Then he set out down
he river again Two days later he
1ismounted from his pony at the
gate of Durfee & Peck's trading
post, 200 miles from Fort Buford. ,

Ensley-Shc des-Cahaba Basketball Game
 Postponed

The game between Ensley and Shades-Cahaba, which was scheduled for today, has been postponed until Tuesday of next week. This game was changed due to the fact that an indoor court was not available, and the weather was too chilly for the teams to battle on an outdoor court.
 The Ensley quintet is fast round ing into mid-season form, and is go- ing to make the going hard for the rest of it's opponents this year. The splendid form that the scrubs are showing will cause q changing of the varsity lineup unless they do some mighty fine playing, it is thought.
 The forwards are showing a good eye for the basket, and are fast de- yeloping into good floor men. Zach Walker, one of the veterans from last years team, is holding down one forward and Hassler and Moxley are fighting neck and neck for the other.
 Martin has the center berth about cinched now, and seems to have the making of mighty fine pivot man. He is a good shot and runs the floor well for new man.
 Polly ScolSel has one guard cinched, while Eubank and English are fight ing it ou tfor the other English is tall fellow, and with the right coaching will develop into mighty fine defensive player.

By HARRISON VAUGHN

When Napoleon led hls victorious armies through Europe, his worst en- emies were not the nations defend ing themselves against his smashing onslaught; but he was confronted by the Eraver question of how to provide nourishihg and strengthen ing food for his soldiers.
 The Great Corsican realized long over century ago, as has every commanding general since that mems bodies must be perfectly nourished if they are to retain their natural strength. energy and vigor; in fact, that the very health of the human being is regulated almost entirely by the stomach. Under-feedng, insuffi- cient nourishment. means loss of flesh, anaemia. lack of red blood and subsequent weakness of the entire system.
 What such people need to enable nature to bring back their strength and vigor, restore their lost weight, and put them in fighting trim, with rich. red blood coursing through their veins is TaDlac, the powerful recon structive tonic and body builder.
 A man or woman suffering from sour stomach. bad breath, bilious ness, indigestion or gas on stomach, is unfitted either for physical or mental labor. Sufferers from these ailments find life a burden they look on the world through blue glasses. the joy and rewards of the vigorous. happy, normally healthy person IS not theirs. Their troubles embitter them against the world. destroy their ambitions and make their lives dull and unhappy.
 How foolish to continue in this

Philadelphia Club
 Is Fined By Landis

Chcago, January 25.-The Phila- delphia club of the National league tonight was fined $200 by Judge K. M. Landis, commissioner of baseball, for entering into secret agreement with Outfielder Earle Neale, who had presented a claim of $500 as back salary due him. The claim was al- lowed but Nea.le himself was fined s100 because of the secret agreement
 When Neale signed with Philadel- phia last spring, a secret agreement was made in which 1t was stipulated that Neale would be paid at the end of the baseball season. Subsequently, however, Neale was released to Gin cinnati and the existence of the se cret arrangement did not become known to the Cincinnati officials un- til month after Neale reported.
 The Cincinnati club declined to pay Neale for the entire season but he was paid for the period he re- to Judge Landis to settle the dis put and produced the secret agree ment as evidence.
 In another decision the Chicago club of the American league was or dered to pay the Sherman, Texas, club s1,750 for Charles c. Robert son. who was purchased Tn 1917. Only S250 of the purchase price was paid at the time and it was agreed that the balance would be paid if Robert son was retained after May 10. 1918. It developed that Robertson was sent to the Minneapolis club under an ,ptional agreement instead of being returned to sherman.

ASSOCIATION NOTI
 WILLING TO ENTER INTO AGREEMENT
Draft Proposal Voted Down By American AsSocia-
 tion MoquIS

Chicago. January 25.-Club owners of the American association today declined to enter into any draft agreement with the major leagues. The proposal for the restoration Of the draft carrying with 1t & price of s7,5oo for each player drafted, was unanimously voted down at a special meeting called to consider the sub ject. The major leagues, if they de- sire to obtain star players from the American association clubs, will have to purchase them outright at what ever price demanded
 The proposal to amend the agree ment between the major and minor leagues relating to the draft came from Judge K. NJ Landis, commits sioner of baseball: President Heydler of the National league and Ban John son of the American league, consti- tuting the baseball advisory council, Judge Landis held that restoration of the draft was necessary so that baseball players could advance in their profession.
 The American association mag mates. however. declined to accept the proposal, they being permitted either to reject or accept 1t. The club owners declared they could ob- tain better price for any stars de- veloped by selling them rather than being forced to accept the $75o0 draft price.
 The American association Is the second of the three Class A leagues in organized baseball to reject the proposal for restoring the draft. The Pacific Coast league voted 1t down at it's meeting several days ago. The International league, according 10 baseball leaders here tonight, is ex- pected to follow the action of the American association and~the Pacific Coast league.

Mack Is Rebuilding Lowly Athletic
 Aggregation

Philadelphia. January 25.-Connie Mack's Athletics vii bealr watching once more.
 January is early to give vent to a statement like that, and particularly after Comics seven lean years.
 But the long leader has been busy, and trades and dickerings with other clubs in the circuit and out of it have led to the belief that the Ath- letics will not be rank tail-ender in the future.
 When Mack let Joe Dugan go to Boston he made a wise move. Dugan was a despoiler of morale.
 Dugan is crack third baseman, ard he was good enough for Kid Gltason to lay s30,0o0 in front of Mack's eyes a year ago.
 His value was offset by his tenn permanent, however. It will be sport watching what Hugh Duffy does with the ambidexterous Joe.
 Mack Rebuilding
 Slowly but surely Mack is rebuild ing. The old ones hied themselves hence some time ago.
 Mack traded Edgar Collins and gave some cash for Frank McGowan of Newark not long ago.
 The scout who sent McGowan to Mack said the player would take a steady berth away from one of the present outgardeners.
 When Dugan went to Boston Mack got Joe Acosta, the Cuban pitcher, and "Bing' Miller, home-run hitter with the Brewers a year or two back.
 On the surface it doesn't look as if Mack received much, but on sec- end inspection one remembers that Acosta has pitching heart and Miller. can crown that ball fero- ciously.

Troop q Quintet Is Improuing--To Meet
 Leeds Fiue

Troop 21's cagesters will journey down to Leeds Friday to play the basketeers of Leeds High school. The odds favor Leeds to win, but the local troopers are planning to make the game a close one.
 Coach Buddy has worked his charges hard for the past week. The forwards, Greco and Grabin, have at last rounded into mid-season form. and the Leeds guards should have a time holding them in check. William son will probably be Coach Duddy's pick for the pivot position, although Wood is fast looming up as a con tender for this place.
 Mccoy and Sanford, who have fin almost every game started at guard, will probably be sent in against Leeds.
 At meeting of the team last week B. c. Mccoy, a two-year man, was elected to captain the team this year. Mccoy was a forward on the troop championship team of last year. but has been shifted to guard this year.
 Others who will probably take the trip are Jones and Copeland, for wards Both are veterans of last year, and will probably play part of the game against Leeds tomorrow.

Central Quintet Has TWo Games This
 Week-End

The thin clad warriors of Coach Sandy" Meyers have very busy weekend, and are hard at work pre- paring for the game with the Wild cats of Jefferson County Friday aft ernoon at o'clock. and the fast trav- cling five from Dora High at 3 o'clock Saturday evening.
 Coach Meyers is still not satisfied with his varsity team. as the frequent changes of his lineup show, and there will be different combina- tion in action Friday than the one used against Morris, unless the rail- birds miss their guess.
 The forwards are we'll taken care of with Ace" Anderson and "Curtie" Byrd. These men are both good shots, while Tom Anderson is also a good floor man and a hard man to guard. Byrd, while a good shot, has yet to learn how to run the floor When he does this. he will be a fine forward. The team has a wealth of good subforwards in k. Moore, Sell CTS and Jaffe.
 The pivot is at stake between Red" Cook and "Cy" Anderson, with Cook leading at present. The red-head boy is a good shot. but is still weak at running the floor and guarding his man. c. Anderson is a good shot, but cannot run the floor like he should.
 The guard positions are the places at which the Crimson machine has been showing up weak all season, and until this spot is strengthened the Central quintet is going to have rough going, The guards have been lax in getting the ball cut from under their goal. This Is where Meyers is making most of his shifts, and where he is devoting most of his time. He has been shifting the following men in and out of these positions; McRob- erts, Lillian, Moore, Mills and Holder. All of these are green men, but no doubt will soon come through.
 McRoberts and Moore are the two best shots of the guards, while the others are good floor men.
 The Central five will more than likely lose the service of A. c. Young for the rest of the season, as he thinks he has not the time to give to bask ketball.

BOTH DRAAK AND
 BINCKLEY READY
 FOR SCRAP HERE
Belgian GrappIer Arrived Yes terday For Bout at B. A. C.
 Friday Night

Birmingham wrestling fans should see a genuine bout at the Birmingham Athletic club Friday night, when Cliff Binclley, ."Birmingham's favorite wrestler" meets Tom Draak, the Bel gian champion, in a finish match un- der the American catch-as-c catch can rules.
 Interest in the bout has been high since the announcement that the two mat stars were matched for the bat tie. Both Draak and Binckley are now in the city. and will put In some hard training for the match. an im- portant one for both of them.
 A Scientific GrappIer
 This will be Draak's first appear ance here in two years. The Belgian has always been regarded as one of the most scientific grapplers that ever appeared in a local ring. The Belgian grappler arrived here yester- day morning and looks fit for hard battle. During the past two years Draak has devoted the most of his time on his health resort at Green wood Lake, N. Y. Outdoor life, com bined with plenty of swimming, row ing handball is the reason Draak gives for his excellent condition Draak has recently defeated some of the fast heavies through the east. and says his ambition to meet Zbyszl1o in a titular bout has been foremost in his mind since beginning the season
 With two mat artists like Draak and Binckley pitted together in the Sama rinC corna infarasffno work can be expected by local fans. Draak is said to have developed a great de- fense on the mat since last appearing here. Draak believes that he will have no difficulty in securing win over the Ohio State lad Friday night.
 BincIxley's Big Bout
 That Binckley realizes the import ance of his match here with Draak is evident by the way he has been work ing the past few days. Binckley is out on the road each morning before the milk man has completed his rounds. The after session at the club always finds Binckley on hand with several wrestling partners. Binckley @oes not intend to let lack of condi- tion hinder him in securing a clean cut victory over Draak. Should Binckley fail to win over Draak, he will have lost the opportunity of re- taining his following among the local wrestling fraternity. Binckley for his short stay in Birmingham has won the admiration of all the local grap- bling enthusiasts and is fast becom- Ing a local idol
 That the Binckley-Draak bout will be one of the fastest wrestling en- counters ever staged before the local fans is the opinion of all the critics who have seen the men in action Binckley established himself as a grappler of unusual ability in his match here last week with Strangler Lewis. He is the first man who ever succeeded in securing a clean-cut fall on the Strangler, and it Is the opinion of nearly all who saw that bout that Binckley would have beaten Lewis had he not become over anxious after scoring his first fall
