SPRINGFIELD. ILL.,, Aug. 9. UD
IN storage for more than de-
cade Santa Ana's wooden leg again
is to be placed on exhibition, state
officials have decided.

Mexico and general of the nations
army, lost the leg at the battle of
Cero Gordo on April 18, 1847,
when pursued by the Fourth Hi
nois Infantry, he was forced to
abandon his carriage and flee on
a mule.
Members of the Illinois infantry
brought the wooden leg to Illinois

the war relics of the state for years.
Until 1924 it was on exhibition in

ANTIQUES ARE
PRESENTED To
UNIQUE HOUSE:

GREEN BAY, Wis, Aug. 9. UP
A Waffle cottage here, now reputed
To be the oldest house in the north
west, recently was the scene OF
commemorative tribute to Nels OF
to Tank and his wife, Caroline, its
most famous former occupants.
The cottage built in 1776 by Jo-
seph Roi, a French Voyageur and
furtrader, is known as one of four
Waffle houses in the United States.
Waffle structure consists of willow
branches erected vertically and
chinked with mud, stone and rice
straw mortar. This makes an
adobe wall of great strength and
endurance.
Tank, son of Carsten Tank, who
was reputed to be Norway's richest
man in the early 1800's, later ac-
qllired the cottage and made alter
ations. Persons interested in pre-
serving historical relics have sought
to restore many of its original fea-
lures.
Easy Life Shunted Aside
Tanks second wife, formerly
Caroline Louisa van der Meulin,
was a descendant through her
mother OF Hollands Baron General
Carl Won Boetzlaar, famed for re-
pulsing Napoleon at Willemstadt IN
! 1897 The baron was a famous art
collector and acquired many rare
antiques in the rich trade Holland
then had with the Orient.
Mrs. Tank inherited some of the
! treasures which her ancestors had
| been collecting for generations. She
gave up an opportunity to partici-
pate in the then glamorous Hol-
land court life to come into vir-
tual wilderness here with Tank, a
Moravian missionary, who sought
/ unsuccessfully to establish Uto-
plan community near old Fort
/ Howard.
Many of Mrs. Tanks rare an
tiques were sold for pittance aI
! an auction sale that lasted tW0
weeks in 1891 Recently numbel
of them have been returned an.
with those that were returned Tank
cottage has been furnished as one
! of the most unusual museums i'll
the nation, containing many val
liable pieces such as even metro
+ politan museums do not possess.
The cottage now is established in
a park which Mrs. Tank set aside
as a memorial to her husband.

Marberry Finds
Umpiring Easier
Than Slab Job

WASHINGTON. Aug. 10. up
Umpi1ing a big league ball game
is a lot easier than pitching one,
according to big Fred Marberry,
former American League hurler
with Washington and Detroit, who
has been appointed the junior cir
cults umpiring staff.
The hardest taks in umpiring,
Fred says. is concentrating on the
game.
Il feel a little out of it," Mar
berry added, but I believe I am
getting over that. l know lately I
haven't felt as much like running
with the players as I did when
first started"
Marberry said that he had ex-
perienced only one bad situation
since beginning what is termed the
most thanklesS job in the world 3"
II had to put Charles OLeary
the Browns coach, out of the park, !"
Marberry said He said I had a
Detroit uniform on me but the rest
of the guys have been pretty swell" !"
To date Marberry has been used
only on the bases. This is the Gus
tom in the American League when
breaking in a new umpire. After
he gains experience he will be used
behind the plate
Marberry, or "Ffrpo,' used to be
known as the best relief pitcher in
the majors. His special feat was
to go into a game in the late in

LONG BEACH, N. J., Aug. TO-
A great change has come over Max
Baer since he lost his heavyweight
title.
Two things have been responsible
for this transformation the rise Of
Joe Louis and his marriage TO
Mary Ellen Sullivan.
Baer is seething inWardly over
Louis dramatic rise to the fistic
heights, remembering his own ar
duous path to the peak. Further
more. he believes he paved the way
for Louis entry into Fistianas Sc
lect circle. He believes he softened
up Primo Camera and King Le-
whisky for the Detroit Sepia Slash

It before anyone else had done 1t, y
said Baer as he sat on the porch
Of the white house where he has
lived since his fiasco with James
J Brad6ock.
Now that he has been matched
with Louis for late September, Baer
is deadly serious about getting into
shape and winning back his repu-
tation as fighter, not TO mention
the cash reward which he can use
very conveniently any time now.
SIX weeks Of married life has left
its impression on Baer. It has
tempered him. He hasn't been out
at night for two straight weeks
and what's more important he's
beginning 10 like home life Parties
and pals. highbails and hilarity-

Friends who have been close TO

PACIFIC COAST
LEAGUE GAMES
BY United Press

SiIAACa ASSo
Three balloon ascensions made
changes today in the Pacific Coast
league standings, shifting pennant-
contenders around and keeping the
San Francisco Seals rooted on the
top
The ballooniSts were old Clar-
ence Mitchell, the Mission Reds
vintage southpaW; Dick Barrett,
ace of the Seattle Indians; and
Paul Gregory, hard-Working right
handler of the Sacramento Sena-
tors corps. Their late inning ex-
plosions after pitching alright ball
previously cost their teams import
ant games last night.
Mitchell bounded into the strato-
sphere in the eighth inning of the
fourth game of the tight Mission
Portland series. Before Gabby
Street could get the Mission ship
back to earth, the Beavers had the
game won by q IA score and were
in second place, dropping the Reds
to third.
Barrett and Mike Nicola of Los
Angeles locked horns in a tight
struggle that produced only one
run in six and one-half innings, a
marker tailed by the Angels in the
second.
In the last half of the seventh
the Seattle right handler lost con-
troll, issued a few passes, was nicked
for five hits, and watched the An
gels sail through a 60 victory.
Gregory's explosion was as spec
tacular and as costly. The Sena-
tors had a ia edge on the pace
setting Seals coming into the sew
enth and Gregory appeared strong
enough to hold the lead. Then
things began to happen and be-
fore the fire was put out by Hart
wig the Seals had six runs and the
game by a 10-7 score.
Oakland and Hollywood played a
doubleheader with the Oaks win
ming both but only one of them
counted on the records.
The first and official game re-
suited in a 80 victory for the
Oaks in hurting duel. The wind
up, carried over from the post
poned game schedule OF the first
half of the season, produced an 81
victory for the Oakland outfit

you're crazy" said the fellow
with the whisky sour. That
johnson had a yellow streak"
The big fellow smiled.
SO he had yellow streak, eh?
Where was it? Who ever found it?
Would a guy with a yellow streak
in him do what that johnson did
to Ketchel? I saw that Ketchel,
who was a killed if there ever was
one. knock Jack flat on his face,
and in those days you stood square
over a guy waiting for him to get
up. johnson got up at four, walk
ed straight into Ketehel and, grab
bing him By the shoulders, picked
him up ike a baby. Ketchel was
mad as a cat, but Jack just talked
soothing talk to him.
" You're nice boy, Stanley, yes
sir, you're a naturally nice boy,
Jack said as he toted him around
the ring, but I'm gonna get you
down in a minute, and after while
when I get ready, I'm gonna knock

son was Walter Monaghan of 'Fris-
co who. since 1906. has travelled the
face of the earth, and always with
a fighter. A fighter himself at first,
he quit it to train and manage.
And he had some OF the best, in
cluding Willard. In fact, 1t was
Walter who trained Big jess for the
fight in which he knocked out
johnson for the title But Walter
doesn't like to talk OF that one.
Asked about it, he said jess was a
good guy-a lot better fighter than
you think" and let it go at that.
It's a long jump from the black
and blue of professional prize-fight
camps to the social purple Of Palm
Beach and Southampton, but Wal
ter has made it. In the winter he
teaches boxing 10 the blue book
youngsters in the south, and the
summer finds him continuing his
lessons at Newport and South
hampton.
Somebody asked Walter to name
his all-time fighting lineup, from
the heavies to the flys.
That's ea.l1. Just put Johnson
as the heavyweight. Fitz at IT'S,
Langford as the middle, Walcott
as the Welter. Cans as the 1885,
FOUNDER. Owen Moran as the feath-
er. Frankie Neil, who you never
heard much about, as the bantam,

were 100 to ! against capturing !
first place in the American league |
