JOHNSON FACES HIS JURY CALMLY (Contlnued from first page). sion” with -a dangerous instrument. If found guilty, the penalty is an in- determinate sentence in - the state ‘penitentiary of from five to twenty years. A speclal venire of jurymen was | brought down from the Battle River| and Shotley cauntry by Sheriff John- son this morning. Most of the men are homesteaders and farmers. Near- 1y all had read of the case but those! accepted stated on the stand that they considered themselves fit to give an impartial verdict. The ma- jority of the jurymen are Scandinav- ians. The prisoner is a Dane, aged thirty-four, who has been in ~ this country about ten years. ‘When Judge Stanton rapped for order this morning there were few spectators in the court room and the trial has attracted a smaller aud- ience than probably any other mur- der in this county. 2 Baseball in Canada. “One thing that surprised_me dur- g my recent trip to the Pacific coast was the intense interest taken in baseball in the far west and in the nearby sections of Canada. Of course you all know that there are some crack-a-jack clubs and hundreds of thousands of 18-karat fans out there in our own states, but what you prob- ably don’t know is that the people of ‘western Canada are positively crazy over our national pastime. Of course the Americans from the states who have gone up there and settled are responsible for the game’s introduc- tion, but it has enough followers across the border today to make it a mighty paying venture for the club owners. Our company made one-night stops in such places as SasKatoon, Edmonton, Regina and Calgary dur- ing the time the world’s champion- ship series was being played, and to see the immense crowds in front of the many bulletin boards eagerly watching the scores and plays Tre- minded us of what we had been ac- customed to on such occasions in New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, and Boston.

W HAVE SHOW REDS NO For First Time Cincinnati Club 2 Picked as Winner. Joe Tinker Will Strengthen Where It. Was Weakest—Good Haul i Made When Beals Be.cker Was Secured From New York. { Cincinnati, for the first time in years, is picked to be an acute con- tender for the National league base- Lall championship. due to its having a new and versatile manager in Joe Tinker, formerly of the Cubs. Cincinnati is said to have had a missing link in its line-up ever since Tommy Corcoran left .the team in 1906. Corcoran' played short and the ex-Cub is now expected to supply the missing link that has kept the Reds from winning a pennant. 1t is generally conceded that with Tinker at short the Reds-will be at least 50 per cent. better than last year, when they put up a remarkable fight. Baseball men in President |Lynch’s organization say the -club { would have finished better, and possi- bly would have won a flag, if Garry Herrmann had had an infielder of Tinker’s caliber. They expect the for- mer Cub to place the club in the thick of the battle with Chicago, New York and Pittsbirg. Their confention is that he has men who can hit the ball with any other set in the organi- zation, who can field as well, and who have the speed. If he can ob- tain better than fair pitching, it is thought he will give the first division teams a lot of worry. Tinker's infield, taken at a glance, is not the worst in the league. It was only mediocre last _season, and in spite of that did remarkably well. Tinker's presence will make it one of the fastest in the league. No club in the organization, except Brooklyn, can boast of a better first baseman than Hoblitzell. His true ability has not been brought out yet, but it will be with Tinker at the helm. Egan is a sterling second baseman, but was handicapped by not having an experi- enced shortstop to help him. Assist- ing Tinker at Second, Egan is expect- ed to be a wonder. The right side of Tinker's infleld and half of the left can be compared with any of the other seven teams. Third base is a perpelxing problem for the new manager. He has a com- petent man in Eddie Grant, but the latter has lost much of his aggres- siveness and hitting strength. It is thought, however, with Tinker at short Grant will play as he did with the Phillies. Should he do so, Tinker will have a good infield. He has fair utllity men in Esmond and McDonald. Tinker's duties are light when it comes to choosing men to play the outfield positions, although he did lose Some say the He had been with the Reds so long that he lost his enthusiasm. Marsans, the Cuban player, is an excellent man " Beals Becker. to take his place. He is assured of playing regularly in right field, as he is a natural .300 batter, fast and show- ing development in his hegdwork. Bescher will be in left fleld and to- day ranks as the leader of the league. That takes into consideration his field- ing, batting, throwing and base rum- -| ning. He fell below the .300 mark last summer, which should not have happened, experts say. It is expected, though, that he will climb above this | figure this season under Tinker's sys- | tem of playing. Bescher also ought to be better in base running and field- ing with the spirit and ginger Tinker plans to inject into the club. A fairly good haul was made when Beals Becker was secured from New York for the waiver price. It is not likely he will play center field, as Tinker has a better man in Bates. Becker is fleet, but is only a fair hitter and fielder. Bates possesses all these requisites and like Bescher is assured of a regular berth. He in- Jured his leg last season and played in only eighty-nine games for an aver- age of .289. Cincinnati’s outfield is to be ranked with the best, critics say. Winds Bother Jackson. Jackson, the Boston Braves’ out flelder, declares the eastern winds in- terfere with his playing at Boston, and has asked Manager Stallings to trade him to either Cincinnati or~8t. Louis.

Infield | Its selection is | relic of the early ages of wrestling. It is rightfully barred 3 from championship matches, but still may be an effective means of de- fense in handling a bully or saving one’s life in a personal encounter with a robber or murderer. “I won my first professional match at catch-as-catch-can wrestling with the strangle hold because I didn't know any better,” relates = Gotch. “That was before I had met either McLeod or Farmer Burns. It was in the match with: Marshall Green, the chicken picker, when we wrestled in overalls in the old opera house in Humboldt in 1899. It was a rough and ready battle and both tried for the strangle hold. 1 was quicker than Green and won three straight falls in about an hour of hard work, taking all three with strangle holds. “The strangle hold was a common grip in those days. One professional, Evan Lewis, probably developed the hold to its highest efficiency. He made & world-wide reputation for winning matches with it and was kunown far and wide as ‘Strangler’ Lewis. “It is the most dangerous grip in wrestling, and yet the old timers used to employ it quite often. In my match with Tom Jenkins at Bellingham, Wash.,, when I won the American championship, he put a strangle hold on me after I had won the first fall. His powerful arms and great strength made it difficult for me to extricate myself. . “Maddened over the loss of the first Txm strangle hold is a discarded This Hold Is: Barred Nowadays. years, Jenkins charged at- me furlous ly in the second bout and in a mix-ug worked himse!f behind me. He slip Ped his lefi forearm under my chin and bore the weight of his right arm against the top of my head, tightening his grip and completing a strangle Hold, from which: it would have been impossible for a weak man”to escape. “There is only one way in which to break this hold, and one eannot linger, as delay may prove fatal That is to employ both hands in grasping the aggressor's left member and below the elbow, and-thus lessen- apple. If one possesses great strength it is possible to break the hold. I em. ployed this method in escaping from JFenkins me. It was his last hope of retaining the championship, ard he tried it too Iate to succeed. 4 “Although the strangle hold is barred nowadays, it is used more or less in many matches. Wrestlers. get it when attempting to obtain other holds, sometimes by mistake. It ‘weakens an opponent, and if continued might prove fatal. Jenkins was warn- ed against_the hold in nearly every match with me. Sometimes he secur- ed the grip unintentionally. “Farmer Burns is one wrestler who ‘was practically immune from the stran. gle hold. This was due to the wonder- ful development of the muscles of his neck. The ‘Farmer' defeated Stran- gler Lewis for the American champion- ship in 1895. Lewis bumped into trou- ble when he tried to choke that old fall and the peril of losing the cham- pionship, which he had held for six WO00D AFTER ANOTHER FLAG “Smoky Joe,” Pitching Hero of 1912 Season, Will Try to Beat Last i Year’s Record. Jog Wood, the pitching star of the Boston Red Sox last year, will have a great deal to say as to" whether or not the Red Sox will be able to capture, another " pennant. Connie Mack, of the Athletics, is determined that his team will be in the fight from the start this year and will not allow the Sox toslip anything over on him like they did last’season. Joe Wood was the hero. par, excel lence of the Boston tribe in 1912 Before the season started he was known as a fairly good performer with the gloves. When the season ended he was the most-talked-of ball player in the country. Joe hung up a record in the box thai made the “Smoky Joe” ‘Wood. other box artists in the American league look sick. He won 35 games during the season and lost but 5. Eddie Plank, of the Athletics, was the only twirler who came anywhere near the mark set by.Smoky Joe, the left: hander, winning 26 and losing 6. Wal- ter Johnson, the gregt pitcher of the ‘Washingtons, had 32 victories to his credit and 12 defeats. ‘Wood will have no easy job on his hands to beat his record of last year, but he has every confidencé that he will be able to do it. He has been spending the winter on his farm near Parker’s Glen, Pa.,, and is anxiously ‘waiting the call for the Red Sox to assemble for the spring training. All Married.
