(BY BILLY ENANS)

Each year in baseball produces some outstanding star among the younger players,
 The present season is no eXcer- ton to the rule. A number of youngst CTS in the American and National, who for several years have shown great promise, must now be rated stars.
 1 know of no player in the Amcri- can league more entitled to favor able consideration in this respect than Ossie Blucge of the world champions, Washington,
 Bluegc didn't reach stardom over night His climb up the ladder of baseball fame has been a gradual one.
 He looked good in his debut but had faults that had to be rcmedied. By earnest effort and grim determi- nation he ovcrcame the flaws in his play, which largely had to do with his batting.
 Bluegc came to Washington four years ago as a shortstop. But Wash ington was in need of third base man, so he was shifted to that position.
 He immediately gave evidence of being a great fielder but looked none too good at the bat and appeared to be very weak on d curve ball.
 inn, tn shipped to the Minneapolis club of the American Association for further seasoning. With that club he bat ted better than 300. At the close of tho season he reverted to Wash ington
 Now Stars at Third Base
 Coming back to the Nationals in 1923 he battcd .945. Last season his aveage was ,2S1, jump of SC points. This year he has been a 300 or better batter since the open ing of the season and should show at least a 20-pont Improvements.
 No longer is Buege a sucker" on a curve ball. He hits the hook as well as the fast one. Pitchers no longer regard it as his weakness.
 Bluegc, a brilliant fielder when he broke into tho majors, now performs nOthiny short Of sensational around the difficult Orncr.
 Grace PCrsonificd in Field
 There are no bad bounds for him. It is rarity for ball 10 be hit through him. He is without an equal in handling balls hit down the lino, unless it be Bill Kamm Of the White SoX.
 In other words, BIncgc is grace pcrsonfied in tho field. The great Lajoie in his palmicst days had nothing on Bluoge in making hard chances look easy For that reason he fails to get much of the applause that is due him,
 His throwing arm is marvel of accuracy. No third haseman in either major league can get the hall away from seemingly impossible l positions as he does. P Hlucgo is not yet 25 years of age and looks good for seven 10 10 years of active service. When he finally passes out, his name is destined 10 go down with in" greatest third seekers of all lime.

|KAPLAN ID DEFEND l HIS TITLE TONIGHT
Conn. Champion to Appear in
 Own State for First Time

| This is the night when Louis NHid) KapIan of Meriden, meets Babe Herman of California and New York at the Eastern league baseball park in Waterbury m defense of his worlds featherWeight boxing title. It will be the first worlds champion- ship held in the state since Terry McGovern and Young Corbett met in Hartford back in 1901 for the same crown. But it will be fare import ant to Connecticut and New England folks than was that battle of 25 years ago for this time, Connecti- cuts first flstic champion will be defending his title for the first time in ring in his home. That's the romantic setting in which Connecti. cuts battle of the century, will be staged.
 | There's very little more that can he said about these youngsters than has already been enumerated time after time. You all know how Kap- Ian fought his way up through a 1 batted his way successfully through the tournament staged by the New York boxing commission and suc- ceeded to the throne once occupied | by Johnny Dundee. He proved his worth to win his title; he is expect cd to show he is worthy of holding it against the advances of his op- ponent tonight.
 Herman is easily the only man in the featherweight ranks today who has a chance with Kapan, and he certainly. has a good chance with him. Herman vas not picked for the New York tournament but his past tussles with Kaplan prove they are evenly matched. They have met five times before. Each secured the decision once and three times they | fought draws. So there is little to choose between them. Both have shown in their training work that they are at the top form for the impending battle. They appear evenly matched in every regard, So the greatest bout in Connecticut ever held in the state is sure.
 A strong supporting card has also | been arranged. In the semi final, 1 Sheik Leonard and Tracey Ferguson, I long time rivals will meet with the state welterweight title at stake. They are scheduled for 10 rounds. In the eight round preliminary, Ed die Lord of Waterbury meets Johnny | O'Keefe of Hartford while the six rorA1 preliminary brings together ! Buck Kelly Of Bridgeport and Frankie O'Brien of Hartford.
 Promoter George F. Mulligan is making arrangements to handle the largest crowd that ever attended boxing bout in this state. Parking space for 10000 cars will be avail able on fields adjoining the baseball park. There are plenty of seats available yet, good ones too, so that everyone who attends is assured the seat call for on his ticket.

1t Kept the Northwest Under
Our Flag


One February day in 1910 the Brit
fish flag was hauled down from above
Fort Sackville on the Wabash river
In Indiana. George Rogers Clark had
won the old Northwest for the United
States. One August day in 1913, an
army advancing under the English
banner against Fort Stephenson on
the Sandusky river in Ohio reeled back
In defeat before the whitening fire
of its garrison of Kentucky rifemen.
George Croghan, nephew of George
Rogers Clark, had saved the old North
west for the United States.
Fort Stephenson barely deserves the
name Of fort at all. 1t was only a
stockade built at the head of na7i-
cation on the Sandusky river, but 1t
was important because it commanded
the approach to two important bases
of supplies for Harrison's army in the
War of 1912.
When General Proctor with 600
British regulars, accompanied by 5000
Indians under Tecumseh, appeared in
northern Ohio, Gen. William Henry
Harrison ordered Capt George Crog-
han to evacuate this post But Crog-
han believed that with his force of
$50 men be could hold it against Proc
tor, and his confidence was shared by
his six youthful subalterns, none of
them more than twenty-one years of
age Harrison reluctantly gave his
permission for the attempt to be made
and Croghan set to work to strengthen
the old fort as much as possible
He had only one piece of artillery,
a little six-pounder which the SOL
der affectionately called "Old Bess,"
and when Proctor appeared before the
fort with force of 1900 Indians and
regulars and some heavy artillery,
successful defense seemed hopeless.
But Croghan refused Proctor's sum-
mons to surrender and was not even
frightened at the Briton's threat that
he might not be able to control his
Indians If he had to storm the fort
After bombarding the fort all night
Proctor sent storming party of 300
men against the walls and although
Croghan's men met the attackers with
a deadly rife fire. they came on
bravely. Just as they sprang into the
ditch surrounding the fort. masked
portfolio was thrown open in one of
the blockhouses and "Old Bess"
poured out veritable blast Of death
upon the British. That proved the de-
Gliding stroke in the battle. Proctor
retreated precipitately. The American
supply depots were saved, Ohio was
spared the horrors of an invasion by
the Indians and historians generals
agree that the successful defense of
Fort Stephenson saved the Northwest
