There lias been considerable sup
pressed excitement the past few days
when It became known that suit fur
J2SH0 damages and for Jlitou for exam
(ilary damages has been brought in
circuit court against former Deputy
Sberif J. J. McMahon and Wither
Jacks, (or alleged fulso imprisonment
on the charge of intoxication and ul
'leged personal assault in connection
j with that arrest, by Ernest S. 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. It is-understood
; that the Law and Order League organ
I lzeil as an outgrowth of that campaign
! will take In hand the raising of a
; public fund for the defense of Mc
! -Marion. In this connection it is inter
, eating to know that the First Metho
i dlst 'church last Sunday voted $200
for the support of the Law and Order
1 league.
! The damage suits are the outcome
of Wolgamott's arrest at a public
dance In Orth's hall at Jacksonville on
the night of April 23rd last by Mc
Mahon on the charge of Intoxication.
In arresting him, testimony at Wolga
mott's hearing, showed that Wolga
mott was either shoved or fell down
i stairs. Testimony on this point var-
j led. Wolgamott was taken to the
county juil at Jacksonville where
he was held about an hour
until released on bail, and during
which time Dr. Sweeney of Medford
was summoned by the arrested man's
friends to care for him
At his ' hearing in Justice Taylor's
court many witnesses were examined
nnd the testimony as to whether Wol
gamott was drunk was about equally
divided; until Dr. Sweeney, the Inst
witness examined declared that in his'
opinion he was not. Among . those who
testified that Wolgamott was intoxi
cated were Deputy Sheriff. McMahon,
Wilber jacks, who-managed the dance,
County Jailer Bert Moses and Sheriff
Terrlll's son. The sheriff who had
been called to the county jail shortly'
after the arrest testified that .in hlsl

TRY TO EXPLAIN
B. RUTH'S SECRET
CHICAGO, Juno 22. 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.

against a door jam, causing injuries,
and then .wrongfully and erroneously
accused him of being drunk and arrest

then goes on to relate that by reason
of '.'disgrace, shame, humiliation, sor

the plaintiff," he should be awarded
the sum of $2800 for damages. Includ

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. In
the hit column, 'the Japanese .out
numbered their opponents 1 12. to 104.
The Japanese have played practi
cally every large college -and univer
sity in the country since they landed
in Ran Francisco on April !t0. All of
their Ramos have been ciose, no op
ponent scoring more than nine runs in
a game, while Waseda took North
western to a neat trimming of 17 to
1. The Jnps lost to Harvard, Ynie,
Illinois and Pennsylvania by one point
In each game. '
Baseball, as played by Americans, is
exactly the same ns played In Japan,
hut the teams are, ns a whole, much
faster, according to M. Nukamura,
graduate manager and scorekeeper of
the "Waseda nine.
"And your western . teams are
stronger than the eastern ones," ho
added. "Illinois has a much stronger
team than Harvard or Yale, I think."
When the Japanese team completes
its second trip through the eastern
states, the men will return to Seattle,
where they will be tho guests of the
University of Washington for; 10 days
before sailing for Japan on July 14.'
This Is the first trip abroad for the
present team, although Waseda has
previously sent three teams to Ameri
ca, paying a return visit the year fol
lowing the University of Chicago's
Japanese tour every four years.
The team is accompanied by Prof.
I. Abe, known as the "Father of Jap
anese Baseball,' who is dean of the
department of political science at Wa
seda, and. H. B. Bennlnghoff, an
American and professor of political
science, who Is acting as business
manager. . , " .
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.

NEW YORK, June 23. Georges
Carpentier, to the French people. 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.
