TIGERS COMING.
TOMORROW
FOR SERIES
Ty Cobb Leads His Ferocious
Jungle Cats Into Washing
ton for Four Games
By LOUIS A. BOUCHER
Sports Editor. The Times

Tomorrow comes Ty Cobb and
his ferocious Jungle Cats to en-
gage in the first Of four games
with. the world champion Griff-
men and huge throngs are certain
to be on hand for the series. The
Tigers are the most popular
aggregation visiting the Capital
and Sundays attendance viii very
likely be whatever the park viii
hold.
Against the champions Cobb
win start Dutch Leonard and Earl
WhitehiIl, southpaws, and Rip.
Collins, and the veteran George
Dauss, righthanders. All four have
been producing the goods when
allowed to work in. turn and all
four are usually troublesome to
the Griffmen.
When last the champions faced
the Tigers Walter Johnson was q
mere spectator on the bench. Now.
though, he is sure to face the Jung.
aleers in one OF the four games,
probably Sundays. That makes q
horse of a different color. Barney
has always been effective against
the Detroit club and Bucky Harris
Is confident OF winning that game,
anyway.
Yesterdays defeat set the cham
pions back another full game be-
hind the Mackmen, who defeated
the Detroit Tigers. Two and a
half games now separate the two
contenders for the bunting, which
is just about the distance the Griffs
were behind year ago. They
eventually won and are still con-
fident of repeating.

|Goslin's long fly to- Hooper. And
there you have the entire story Of
the offensive drive Of the Griffmen.
BIanketing the game in the very
first inning, the White Sox achieved
their victory in almost dead silence
The fans could not show any pep,
and the players rapidly assumed
the same attitude. It was an ex-
tremely dull afternoon, II the truth
be known.
However, before quitting this the
brilliant fielding Of Buclxy Harris
should be mentioned. He went over
behind second base to get Thrust.

the first inning. He came within
an ace Of getting Mostil In the same
inning, getting both hands on the
ball, but being unable to throw.

second base to the foul line. His
knocks own-and-d rag-out play on
Falk's savage drive IN the eighth

II you don't believe it, Just take a

Mistakes will happen and some

committed since his interlocutory

Another is his inactivity in per-

Still, she wants Hughey sent
to and stayed put. In other
words, she wishes the separa-
ton to be unanimous and on a
wholesale basis.
Among other things the little
woman declares her husbands
batting eye is so good that he
has started heavy hitting in the
night life Of New York, a
league that you've got to be
very good to stick in.
She alleges that Hughey has
practically asked for waivers on
her and, that if this is to be the
case, she would like it to be
legal and of court record.
The McQuillans have played a
very prominent part in the base
ball disputes around New York
and the separation suit promises
to carry the argument into extra
innings.
It's all right for the big
pitcher to be a baseball star,
but he needn't twinkle so bright
ly that he takes all the spot
light off Mrs. McQuillan, who
iaaat least, his wife.
The judge who hears this
case is ready for anything and
in anticipation of the trial has
provided himself with mask and

Antonio KatOwsky Says
Four Men Attacked and
Robbed Him.
ARREST ONE OF FOUR
Victim Identifies SIan Held in
Jail as One of the
!, Quartet Wanted

As result of story told the po-
lice Saturday, Frank Chikida, Al, who
lives at the Grand View hotel, is to-
day, charged with assault and robbery
The complaint is made by Antonio
Kalowski, of 166 N Fremont avenue,
Kalowski told the police that he
was attacked by four men while on
his way to work at the N. R. Allen
tannery Saturday, and following the
arrest of Chikida, he visited the man
in jail and identified him as. one of
the four engaged in the attack.
Wanted a Match.
It was about $3.50 o'clock Saturday
morning when the attack took place,
Kalowski said. He was on his way
in the frosty air walking towards the
tannery when, at the intersection of
Middle and Chicago streets, small
touring car came along and four men
jumped out.
One of them demanded match,
and this was so civil request that
KaIowski sought in his pockets for
one. Before he could find it, the four
men, so he said, jumped on him and
beat him up. Kalowski said they did
not get much, just package of Gig
arettes, his lunch and $3.50 in cash.
Then the quartet FASTENED into their
car and drove away.
Comes to Station.
One of the men who attacked him
bore the Christian name of Frank
and lived at the Grand View hotel,
Kalowski said. He declared that he
would know the man if e saw him.
He gave a description of Frank" and
Sergeant Emil F. Meissner and De-
tective Perry Tusler went to the
hotel and tried to find the man. He
was not in.
But in the middle of the afternoon
Frank Chikida came to the police
office, said that he had heard the po-
lice were looking for him, and asked
what was wanted. When questioned
about the alleged assault and rob-
berry, he declared that he knew moth
ing of it.
He was booked, however, on the
charge and held in jail.

.EKERN FILES REPLY
In BOUNDARY SUIT
At Same Time Congress Decid-
ed State Dispute.

Washington, D. G. - Al - At
torney General Ekern, of Wisconsin,
has filed in the supreme court the
brief of that state in the boundary
suit brought against it by Michigan.
Summarizing the contentious of
Wisconsin, Mr.. Ekern pointed out that
the boundary of Wisconsin territory
was established at substantially the
same time as congress defined the
line in dispute in the act admitting
Michigan to statehood. The only diff
ference, he declared, was in the Wis
consin territory boundary in the
Green Bay region where the line was
made to follow the main channel
michigan now claims" the brief
said, "that when congress said the
main channel Of the Montreal river
should form part of the boundary, it
did not intend the Montreal river but
intended the west branch of the Mon
treal river, because, so she claims,
the west branch is larger stream.
"She also claims that when con-
gress said the lake of the desert was
to be one of the points in the bound
airy line it did not intend to specify
the lake that had heretofore been
known by that name and by that of
Lac Vieux Desert for over a century,
but rather referred to a group of
lakes, and that in this group was Is
land lake, then unnamed and I'M
known but forming part of group
of lakes known as Pine Wood Lakes
and situated so miles west of the
country where the Lake Of the Desert
or Lac Yieux Desert is located"

SCHOOL BOARDS
RIGHTS DEFINED
Can't Work on Buildings
Over Which They Have
Voting Control.
SALES ARE RESTRICTED

Madison, Wis. - ,AKS - Members
of board of education who work on
school building over which they have
control are liable to prosecution, re-
CARELESS of whether their action was
approved by voters of the school dis
trict, Assistant Attorney General Arm
old held.
Olive j.. Strang, district attorney of
Burnett county, informed the attorney
general that he had been asked to
prosecute the clerk and two members
of school board. Electors of the
district voted to build schoolhouse,
he said. They also voted that the
clerk should supervise building opera
tions and the other two members
should constitute a building commit
tee. Each man was to receive 80
cents an hour. Each received more
than $100f for their service and some
of them also worked as carpenters on
the building.
The action of the electors does not
operate to relieve the members of the
board from the penalty provided by
the law, Suel O. Arnold, assistant at
torney general, stated.
In another opinion under the same
law, Mr.. Arnold held that member
Of board of vocational education is
prohibited from selling anything to
the board except where the total
amount Of tn esale does not exceed
$500 in any one year. However, the
law does not prohibit member of the
board from selling supplies to city,
he stated.
In a third construction of the law,
Mr.. Arnold ruled that employment of
town chairman by county highway
commissioner to work on the roads is
not a violation.
Funds of a person under probation
are subject to garnishment, the attor-
ney general held. They are subject
to garnishment, however, only after
the order of the court placing per-
son on probation and ordering GER
tain payment to be made has first been
satisfied.
Fees collected by deputy sheriff
for serving a criminal process in a
county where the sheriff is serving on
salary cannot be retained by him,
but must be turned over to the coun-
ty, Mr.. Arnold advised Cad Jones, dis
trict attorney of Waushara county.
However, the right of constable to
fees is not affected.
Copies of amendment to articles of
incorporation filed with the secretary
of state shall be duplicates, G. A,
Erikson, deputy attorney general,
ruled. The law is not comblied with
by submitting ole original certificate
of amendment and one verified copy of
the certificate, he held.
