He came on to beat George Nichols

A record such as this by Jones should
have put him at the top of the heap
And it should have enabled him to buy
corn pone for the rest of his life. But
when the boys who piloted Billy through
the maze of intricacies which bind box
ing got through paying off for the op-
portunity given Billy to meet such
tough opponents, there was nothing
much left for Williams wallet.
Then Jones hit another phase
of big-time boxing. Boys whom
he could whip refused to give
him return bouts, and boys who
thought he could whip them also
Joined the banning society. As
a result the sable socker found
himself to be the greatest draw

equally emphatic in their declarations
that the deal is completed, despite the
cancellation made by Griffith after the
latter had been informed Gray had a
sore arm and was not physically fit for
service on the hill
The Browns have released Gray and
so notified the player. They have in
formed him he is the property Of the
Washington club. So far as Gray knows,
they have washed their hands of the
zeal
Gray has not had on st. Louis
uniform since the deal was supposed
to have been completed and thinks he
is to leave with the Nationals when
they finish the series here. But Clark
Griffith insists Gray does not belong to
the Nationals, nor is he particularly
interested in getting him.
RIFFITH claims he had perfect
I right to cancel the deal, as ''the
Browns failed to play square" with
him when they said nothing about the
pitchers sore arm when he was nego-
tiating the deal.
There ,oas only an informal
conference between Griffith and
Leo McEpoy, vice president of the
Bro,uns, today. At its finish,
neither had yielded.
So Judge Lands had better be pre-
pared to settle an argument. Griffith
is not in a mood to pay for what he
saws he has not received. The st. Louis
officials want their money for player
they say they have given up, and Gray
wants to get on the pay roll Of some
club, preferably the Nationals. as they
seem to be due for a slice of the world
series melon. But he'll gladly take his
pay from the Browns if necessary.
rvEINIE MANUSH is all set to try
II for the leagues consecutive-game
hitting record this season as the
Nationals plunge into their double
header with the Browns tomorrow. For
the second time in the campaign the
big Dutchman now has behind him a
string of 26 games in which he has
driven the ball to safety. The string
in which he set the season record was
snapped in Chicago on June "a. The
present string was stretched to record
tying length today as he tripled in the
first inning.
Should rain prevent the play
ing Of one or both Of the games
scheduled with the Browns here
tomorrow, the Nationals will re-
main until Monday to try to
complete their years schedule
in Sp0rtsman's Park. Other
wise, they'll head for Detroit
right after the Sunday twin
bill.
The Capital clubmen need but one
more win to give them the edge over
the Browns for the entire campaign.
That victory yesterday was the eleventh
for them in 16 games and they have
but six more meetings with the Hornsby
horde.

Two reasons why Ohio Wesleyan is
leading the Buckeye conference bas-
ketball race are shown herewith.
Clarence Hendricks, Findlay, veter-
an center on the Bishop team, is up to
his old tricks of being the teams high
scorer. Last year his 1913 points took
scoring honors in Ohio college basket
ball. This year he has made 112
points and the schedule is only half
completed.
Harold Duncan, Cleveland, is MAX
ing a strong bid for all-Buckeye hon
ors this season. He is a guard who
not only always plays we'll defensively
who who also is dangerous scorer.
Ohio Wesleyan's team this week is
taking a rest due to semester exam
nations at the university. The Bish
ops will begin the second half of their
20-game schedule next week with
games against Denison at Granville,
on Wednesday night and Ohio uni
versity at Delaware on Saturday night
Feb. T. The latter game will be a
battle for first place in the Buckeye
conference.
Ohio Wesleyan has scored 435 points
in its ten games to date, an average
Of 43.5 points per game which is bet
ter than a point a minute. The team
threatens to eclipse its record of 864
points in one season, that mark having
been set in 1928-29. In six seasons
under Coach Ray Detrick the team has
average exactly roo points a year.

13-SPEClAL NOTICES-13
Lists Township
Expenditures

The township governments of Ohio
handled over IL million dollars in
1881, or an average of over $4,000
per township. The range in expendi-
lures was from $344 in Sunfish
township, Pike county, to over $140,-
900 in Chester township, Geauga
county, with q townships spending
over 100000 each during 1881. This
study recently completed by John F.
Dowler, rural economist of the Ohio
Experiment Station, includes 1887
townships of the state and is the
most complete compilation ever made
of township expenses and receipts.
The major portion of township ex-
penditures was for roads. Over two
thirds of the total expenditures, or
$6,028, was for the maintenance of
township roads. The gasoline excise
tax allotted to the townships supplied
% per cent of the money for roads,
and the remaining 72 per cent was
derived almost entirely from uniform
property taxes and special assess
ments. Real estate still bears the
burden of supporting township roads.
The highways classed as township
roads form about 50 per cent of me
total road mileage in the state.
Expenditures for general govern
ment, including compensation to the
trustees and clerk, expenses Tor
township hall or office, legal serv-
ices, and general office supplies
amounted to 1868 for the average
township in 1881. Other expenditures
were S769 for charities and hospitals,
1862 for cemeteries, 1924 for fire
$44 for Libraries and
parks, S26 for hawk bounties, and
S123 interest on bonds and short-time
notes.
Besides the above expenditures the
townships, on the average, reduced
their debt by $682 in 1881. Some
townships increased their indebted
ness, but most of them paid off
more debt than they created.
