satisfactory showing.
The press variously termed
Scott's efforts as dismal" dread
fur and "inept"
There was a general feeling that
Scott's fighting days ceased with
the count of 10 last night, the
reviewers StreSsing the fact that
the public never could enthuse
over Painting" Phil even when
ne won.
Stribling, through his victory
over Scott, earned the right. to
challenge Max Schmeling for the
worlds heavyweight champion
ship. He entered the ring weight
18 pounds less than Scott. He
was seldom hit by Scott, who
fought clumsily and who appeared
more like clown than a real
fighter.
Stribling's blows were accurate,
well calculated and telling. He
never, however, was forced to ex.
tend himself greatly and found
opposition in the first few mo-
ments Of fighting only.

Several fans have addressed
this department, most OF them
signing their names, and others
writing anonymously, inquiring
If, in our Judgment, 1t Is wise
for Owner Clark Griffith to
travel with the ball club. as
he did in the recent disastrous
Western swing.
Some of these correspondents
point out that the presence OF
the owner of the team with it
in its Saunters into foreign
fields might have a tendency
to make the players uncomfort-
able. i'll at ease, and under a
strain, both in their hotel life
and on the playing field.

or q "jinx" and that the team
prospers more when he is, not
around. than when he is
present.
Not putting much stock in
the so-called ''jonah's'' or
"jinXes" I can hardly agree
with the latter argument and
as to the former premise, !
believe the actual figures on
wins and losses prove beyond a
doubt the club had done well

GARDEN HEAD
. LANDSBOUT
BY phone

NEW YORK, July 29.-Frank
Bruen. general manager Of Madi-
son Square Garden, had little
telephone conversation last night
that set Madison Square Garden
Corporation back 500, but IT
was worth while.
Bruer landed a corking match
for his shebang. Stribling and
Campolo for September!
Bruen talked to both the
Striblings, "Bill and Pa" shortly
after the Georgia Peach had
knocked out Phil Scott in two
rounds.
Quietly awaiting the time when
he fancied that the Striblings
would be back at their hotel in
London, following the Georgian's
triumph, Bruen sent in the trans
atlantic telephone call for the
famous Georgia dude and dad.
"HOw are you, PAP" asked
Bruen, with as much uncOn-
Germ as il he had been tele-
phOning Bill Carey from the
third TO the sixth floor in
~s Madison Square Garden, once
the London connection was
made.
"I'm fine. The boy just put
over the greatest triumph Of
his life. FOrty-five thousand
people in the Wimbledon Sta
dunn tonight when w. L.
knocked Scott kicking. 1t was q
glorious victory for Us, ~said Pa.
"Hard fight?" asked Bruen.
Nothing to 1t, Mister Bruen.
Our w. L. knocked him cold, in
the easiest kind of fashion. He
didn't get his hair nussed."
Il want him to fight CampOlo
in September for the Garden.
Is that all o. X. with you and
BiII?"
"AlI o. K. for us. We are
leaving Wednesday for the
States" answered Pa.
"WhI you drop in and see me
at the Garden when you get
in?" asked Bruen.
"The first thing" replied Pa.
Here's w. L. now. He wants
to say 'helIO!'" said the elder
.Stribling.
Hello. Billy! Bully work.
Need you here. Your Pa will
tell You about it. How are you?"
asked Bruen.
Fine, Mr.. Bruen," responded
Willie. He was easy. 1t was 4
tremendous crowd. won SO
easily that I didn't get started.
We're sailing on Wednesday"
And then Pa got back on the
telephone and more of shop talk.
The conversation lasted just 10
minutes and the Garden lust
back on its uppers for 500. It
costs $50 to talk the first three
minutes to London and $40 for
every additional minute after
that.
'It was 500 well spent" said
Bruen afterward. 1--WE have
been looking for the right man
for CampOlO.
I I'm glad the boy won. He
rather settled the hash of Mr..
Scott, didn't he?"
/ And so 1t would seem. And
fancy the daring of Stribling. He
knocked Scott out with q body
blow in the second and floored
him the first two times in the
i opening round with lefts to the
body.
i Philip didn't make a single
squawk about low punches. They
came SO fast, and furiously that
he didn't have much of q chance.
Stribling ripped two lefts into
Scott's body right off the reel,
and both times Phil was downed

and in almost every instance there
is some permanent reminder of the
part each played in the winning of
the Northwest; there are cities and
villages, churches, and cemeteries.
In many places one finds that an

westward from these counties.
Meeker county, of course, was lit
tie behind it's neighbor, Mcleod,
and there were even settlements in
the Willmar vicinity in frontier
days, but it was not until the 7Os
that the real movement of home
seekers began to people the state
as far west as the Dakota border.
Northward settlement was still
slower and in the late 7O's and in
the sos the fight against inhospit-
able nature was bitter and prolong-
ed.
Each of these communities has
its peculiar history, it's heroes and
it's Williams, it's highlights and it's
dark chapters. Old battle sites,
where Sioux and Chippewas warred
or where Sioux bands even fought
each other to the death, scenes of
colorful pioneer activities, where
men prominent in the history of
Minnesota and the Northwest wrote
vivid chapters, are encountered
wherever one goes. In truth diff

Red River Trail Important
In Early History Making
Oxcarts Made Pioneer Trek from
Southern Minnesota to Fort
Gary, Canada

This article is being typed at
Grand Forks. North Dakota, after
a trip northward through Minneso-
ia, through areas that were from
tier country less than 80 years ago.
North Dakota was settled in the
early 7Os; that is, the Dakota side
of the Red River Valley was set
tied then. Then central and west
ern parts of the state did not at
tract homesteaders until 10 and 20
years later. The settlement of
north central and northern Mime
sofa, chiefly on the western side,
was largely coincident with the
Dakota settlement. Of course, the
activities of James j. Hill, the
Empire Builder, had much to do
with this development in both
states.
But it was interesting to the
writer to visit cities made historic
by the journeys of pioneers up and
down Minnesota from points in Nc
Leod, Sibley, Carver and other
counties. When Hutchinson and
Glencoe were founded in 1855, all
this region was wilderness, peo-
pied by Indians with a scant
sprinkling of whites, chiefly post
troops and traders. The oxcarts
travelled from southern Minnesota
to the Canadian border and on to
Fort Garry, now Winnipeg. The
writer has seen the old fort at
Winnipeg and the old trading post
erected by Kittson at Walhalla
When these oxcart trains formed
the principal and often the sole
means of transportation over the
state. Mcleod and Sibley counties
were on the outer border of estab
lished settlement and formed the
first frontier.
