Wolga 1 mott, better known as "Dud." G. M. Roberts, former district attorney is attorney for Wolgamott in these suits. McMahon, although always having the reputation of being a good, active Xand fearless officer, was given more local fame through being championed openly at the recent Bulgin-Lewis re : vlval campaign here.

Here are reUHutis advanced by somo of base bull's leaders in explaining the in creased long distance hitting: Tris Speaker, manager of the world champion Cleveland Indians "Inef fective pitching is the cause. They've burred the emery bull,' the spitter and nil the old deliveries. The pitchers huven't anything left but a glove and n prayer nnd they work the prayer overtime." Johnny Evers. manager of the Chi cago Cubs "It's the lively ball. The ball is so fast the players can't handle it and the force that used to be used in bunting now puts the ball out of the infield. The fast ball Is crippling int'leldeis and spoiling the gnnie.". John Hevdler. nresident of the Na- oplnlon Wolgamott was not drunk butlttonul league "Babe Ruth caused it. had been drinking.

He charges thaf they ; threw him with great force against a door jam, causing injuries, and then .wrongfully and erroneously accused him of being drunk and arrest ed him and Incarcerated him in the county jail for an hour. The petition then goes on to relate that by reason of '.'disgrace, shame, humiliation, sor row sand mental anguish suffered by the plaintiff," he should be awarded the sum of $2800 for damages.

KUI (ileuson, nmnager or. ine i ni- cngo White Sox "It's partly the fust bull and pnrtly the fact that tile weather has been so bud in the cen tral west that the western clubs' pitchers are not in condition. Most of the heavy hitting has been In the east by eastern clubs against western clubs' pitchers." Frank Navin, president, Detroit American League club "It's not tho lively ball, for there is no such thing. The balls nre all the same. Tho hit ting is caused by tho rules prohibit ing a pitcher from doctoring the ball a little. He'd rub dirt on it to roughen it up a little, spit on it and do lots of other things to enable him to get n better grip. ThCHe things aro burred now, nnd tho pitchers aro inef fective as a result."

Ring Sketches of Bygone Years CHICAGO, June The Waseda uni versity buselmll team of Tokyo, Japan, which has just started a second in vasion of the eastern states on its fourth quadrennial Amerlcain tour, left Chicago on points scored with 02 runs to t3 for their opponents.

After Jess Wlllard won the heavy weight ehamplortHtilp of the world, he became a circus performer. In an off-season 'for circuses in 1 ! 1 C. he fought ten rounds with Frank Moran tit Madison Hiuare Our den and won a popular decision. Mo ral, following his defeat by Johnson, had triumphed over Jim Coffey, an other aspirant for the championship, and was considered eligible for a crack at .the titlp holder. He was no match for the Kansan 'giant, who outweighed him almost CO pounds. Wlllard allowed the chal lenger to do the leading, but Moran could not inject sufficient punitive power In his blows to oven leave a scratch upon his big opponent. In a manner of speaking, WJllard whipped Moran uith one hand, and in a literal manner, too. The fore finger .of his right hand was broken In the third round in a collision with Mornn's elbow and after that only the left fish was of much use to him. With that alone he could not knock out his opponent, ho the lust round ended just as Pollyanna would have wished. Mo oio was hurt, and both men were a great deal wealthier than before they met. ... Wlllard salted away the $47, GOO which t'ame to him from the purse and went back to the circus unwor- ried by what the future held In store. DEATH OF KING PETER IS ALSO EXAGGERATED BELGRADE, June 23.

Is the "Man of Destiny." No more do they doubt the ability of this man, decorated for bravery during the world war, to defeat Jack Dempsi-y on July 2, than (hey doubted the abil ity of the allied armies finally to over, come Germany. They have followed the steady rise of the young pugiltNt from the days when, ns a bantam weight ho first gained nationnl note. They have studied accounts of his his tory befoiv that lime. In their minds, Depipsey will be unable to fell this na tional hero, just us German machine guns, which are said to have riddled his plane repeatedly, were unable to bring him down. Carpentier's ofth-ia) war record. In vestigated recently, revealed that the boxer spent IS mouths at the front, flying a two-seater observation plnne. He received the Croix de Guerre and the Medaille Mllltalre. . The record shows that Carpentier. enlisting as a chauffeur in August, 1014. received a license to pilot a Farmen airplane in May, 1 !U 6. He wus sent with a squadron to the front, remaining three months and then whs assigned to general reserve aviation as a spare pilot. On August U8, HUIi. Carpentier suf fered a log Injury but recovered rap idly nnd was sent to the front with the Farmnn- Escadrtlle for reconnai- sanee work in preparation for the Champagne offensive, which began Sept. 25. 1915. . 'Carpentier's citation, which result ed in the award of the -Croix tie Guerre, reads: "Sept. 2ft, he did not hesitate to fly during misty weather and rain less than 200 yards above enemy lines. He has given proof in ninny circumstances of sang frold, never returning until his mission was accomplished, often with his machine riddled with bullets and shell splinters." On Nov. G, 1 ! 1 ft. Carpentier receiv ed the Medaille Mllltalre for heroic action. ' In December, liUti, he was forced to quit the front because of illness and never returned. In May, 1917, being declared physically unfit to continue as a pilot. He watf do tached from aviation and detailed as army physical Instructor near Paris. Six months after the armistice, he was transferred back to the aviation and demobilized. . .Carpentier's , courteous demeanor and evident culture, unusual in a box er have created the impression In America that he is the son of wealthy parents. This Is not bo. . The son of a miner, Carpentier was born in Lens, tho coal-mining center of France on Jan. 12, 18U4, He start ed, work as an offiee boy in a brew ery!. The ring called nt an early age, hpwever, and when only 14, ho took up boxing, then being popularized in France by the visits of "Kid" McCuy and other American fighters. At the same time, he was dancing and sing ing in the cafes and restaurants of his native I-ens, with Francois Descamps, who has ever since been his compan ion, guardian and manuger.. It was pescnmpB, who discovered In Carpen tier tho requisites of a potential boxer. He-attempted, one day, to punish the youth, using boxing gloves rather than trio American "switch." In the midst of the scheduled "punishment," Des camps relates that "Georges side stepped with agility and ponf! the lights suddenly went out on me." jj rom mat,, moment, wcorges was boxer. Descamps. somewhat of a fighter hlntself, took the youth Into his' gymnasium to train him. He fought three four-round battles in that first year and his total ring earnings amounted to J1H4. He will rej-eive that much for each two sec onds of his bout with DempNcy, pro vided the match goes the scheduled 12 rounds. Since that time, Carpentier has climbed steadily and slowly. Some times ho has slipped, but the progress has been consistently forward and upward. CORNS Lift Off with Fingers Doesn't hurt a bit!
