Ohio State University
An Island Castle

In the summers from 1865 to
1904, strangely varied professions
moved across Ohio toward Gibraltar
Island in Lake Erie.
On this island was the summer
home of Jay Cooke, Civil war fl
nancier. There he received his
friends in cordial hospitality, held
audience with visiting delegations
Of political, financial, and military
leaders, and in it all found a mea-
sure of rest and recreation from his
far-fung business responsibilities.
The story of Cooke and his is
land home is told in a new book by
Prof. James E. Pollard, acting di-
rector of Ohio State University's
school of journalism, to be publish
ed soon by the university.
The Cooke family was intensely
religious, and in period of nine
seasons $50 different ministers
were guests at the home Sunday
school classes were entertained fire.
quently. Devotions were held twice
daily, and each Sunday the finan-
cier and his family travelled across
to Put-in-Bay for church.
One of the first guests to visit
the island home was Senator John
Sherman. Among other notable
guests listed on the family records
were General W. t. Sherman, Gov
ernor and Mrs. Rutherford B. Hayes
and the famous preacher, T. Dewitt
Talmage.
European financiers came at
times, and even Bismarck was con-
sidering a visit in 1870 when the
Franco-Prussian war developed.
From the island, Cooke directed
part Of the financing of the North
ern Pacific railroad, in which he
was interested. From there also he
wrote in 1867 a spirited defense of
the national banking system.
At one time Cooke gave $4,000
to endow chair in Bexley hall,
theological seminary at Gambler.
The financier suffered heavy loss
es in the panic of 1873, and for
eight years the summer home was
closed. In 1880 it was re-opened,
and Cooke resumed his annual pill
grimages unto 1905, when he died.
The island is now owned by the
university, as the site for its lake
laboratory where each summer ad-
vanced study is offered in biology
of the lake region.

Erosion Service Warns OF Danger
From Grass Fires
(By J. r. Benjamin.

(By j. r. Benjamin)
At this season of the year many
land owners and tenants have the
mistaken idea that fires should be
started to burn off dead grass and
weeds. This is a mistake for many
| reasons, and should be discouraged
except where there is some special
reason for the destruction. Most
important is the danger to build
ings and persons. Any fire draws a
draft of air toward it, and a SEEM
ingly safe fire can become danger
Gus one almost instantly if a breeze
should fan it. In recent years much
damage has been caused and many
buildings burned from grass fires.
Much money has been spent and
many hours put in fighting fires
that should never have been start
ed, to say nothing of their ever hav-
ing been permitted to get out Of
control. The writer saw Is acres of
splendid timothy hay burned last
July in an adjoining county, and
nearby threshing crew were COM
PEELED to leave their work and spend
half day fighting the fire in order
to save two groups of farm build
ings that were endangered. Also,
last fall Camp Morgan spent 1853
man days fighting a woods fire on
Oil Spring run that was caused by
g fence builder dropping match
n IL
the fence line. Nearly every CCC
camp in Ohio has been called out at
some time in the past year to fight
fires that were unintentionally or
maliciously started, or were started
on purpose and had gotten out Of

- ANDWICHED between a couple
of thousand single-spaced lines
- Of typewriter paper, which is
q carbon copy of Secretary Maj.
Heinie Miller's first annual report of
the District Boxing Commission, re-
leased yesterday, is an item that once
and for all should kill the general
idea here that the eight-ounce gloves
prescribed by law are too billowy to
satisfy the blood-thirsty boxing
bleacherite.
There was a general howl this time
last year when the most liberal boxing
law in the country contained a clause
prescribing eight-ounce mittens in
stead of the five or six-ounce gloves
used by a majority of the States. The
general idea that the larger sized
gloves would make knockouts prohibi-
tive did not help the ring game any,
especially after Matte Brown and
Johnny Risko waltzed 10 rounds in
the opening show without jarring
their mouthpieces.
Ten thousand people watched
that show and 1t Is not hard
to believe that many have
stayed away from local boxing
shows ever since.

Call Off Regatta
ForCarnegieCup
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
ITHACA, N. Y, May 18.-After
first deciding to hold the
Carnegie Cup Regatta races
tomorrow. Sunday, athletic di-
rectors of Yale. Princeton, Navy
and Cornell changed their minds
tonight and cancelled for this
year the regatta postponed tonight
because of rough water and dark
ness.
After returning in the black
of night from the wind tossed
waters Of Lake Cayuga with 1000
other shivering and disappointed
celebrants of Cornell's annual
Spring day festivities, the officials
held a second meeting after their
impromptu decision made earlier
to try again Sunday.
Malcolm Farmer, for Yale;
Lieut.. Comdr. ]. H. Brown, for
undefeated Navy; DR.. Duncan
Spaeth for Princeton, and Prof.
Herman Diederichs for Cornell,
issued the following statement:
THE regatta could not be rowed
today. Because of the rule of some
of the colleges against Sunday
competition and because Of con.
fiict with imminent examinations
at others, it is found impossible
to stage the Carnegie Cup Regatta
at any other time or place this
year."

And Figures Don't Lie.

n UT If eight-ounce gloves are knock
d out-proof then Tony Canzoneri
is a preliminary boy. Secretary
Maj. Heinie Miller's figures show that
an eight-ounce glove on the fist OF
guy who can punch is about as
safe as jay-walking on Thirteenth and
F. The big mittens prevent many
of the cut eyes and lips inflicted by
flve-ounce gloves; they do not prevent
knockouts.
A total of 588 bouts were fought
since legalization of boxing in the
District, according to commission fig
ures. This includes professional pre-
liminaries and main events, amateur
and college bouts, white and colored.
And exactly lat of these scraps ended
in knockouts.
In other words one-f0urth of
the legalized tusSleS, all fought
with eight-ounce gloves, have
been terminated by knockouts.

Saved Underpinning.

THE only uncertain point about
Canzoneri in his scrap with
Ambers seemed to be his legs.
After 10 years of high-class ring war
fare, legs begin to 90. Tony wisely
saved his pins against Ambers. While
Lou danced in a circle, Canzoneri
stood in the center of the ring, waited
for Ambers to get within range, and
then shooting a snaky left jab and
right cross. Ambers' plan of battle
made Canzoneri look to be the best
135-pounder in the world.
While not terrific puncher, Klick
is a two-fisted. walk-in-and-slug type
of battler. To remain in one spot
as he did against Ambers might be
difficult for Canzoneri on June 10
against a fighter of Kicks type. And
f1ghtlng in a long battle against a
ranking foe for the second time
within month may be more than
the veteran Canzoneri's legs care to
take.
The fight crowd always likes the
hungry" fighter, and this is a sec
ond theory advanced by those who
think Klick is in the right spot. Not
that frankie is starving but, unlike
Tony, he has no 100000 plus in the
bank, half dozen clothing stores,
and a 41-acre estate Klick never
has won a major championship. Can
zoneri has worn four crowns. To
Klick this fight means far more
than it does to Tony. A defeat auto
matically would shove frankie from
immediate consideration as the logical
135-pound contender.
