PROKOS IS WORTHY SUCCESSOR TO DUBIE Yesterday afternoon Prokos, so call ed after the famous Greek wrestler, tfee bull dog belonging to Louis Pinkham, journeyed out to Springfield. Now, Janies, the faithful bull dog of Coach Forbes, lives at Springfield. When James saw I’rokos gaily trotting down the sidewalk, he appointed himself a committee of investigation, tie report ed by ordering Prokos off the sidewalk. Prokos declined with thanks. They mixed. It took the combined strength of our husky coach and six mill hands to negotiate a cessation of hostilities. Finally I’rokos was induced to let go of James' ear, and James to stop trying to swallow Prokos’ collar in a vain en deavor to get at bis neck. Considering the youth of his nine months old dog, “Pink" is very well pleased with the outcome of the com bat. lie thinks that be will prove a worthy successor of the invincible "Dnbie" lost in Astoria and mourned by all who knew him. In fact, he is so well pleased with Prokos—who by the way is a faithful son of the South and growls tit the mere mention of the fif teenth amendment—that he challenges all comers in the juvenile class.
