“BACK AGAINST WALL By BARRY FARIS John McGraw has his back against the wall. The doughty little mana- ger of the four-time pemnant win- ning Giants is at last taced with the prospect of piloting a trailing team. That the outlook doesn’t set well with the “Little Napoleon” is plain- ly evidenced by the cyclonic shake- ups that he hands his line-up. He hasn’t quit yet. The word quit doesn’t appear in his vocabulary. The pounding that his club is getting from the others in the Temer loop will only serve to make McGraw fight harder than ever. But his most ard- ent supporters admit that this year his fight looks like a loosing one. To many it looks like the old Giant machine has crumbled. And it 18 an odd circumstante of fate that the once powerful aggregation f{s withering away just as two famous machines of other days that cracked a few years ago are getting back in- to power. These two are the Tigers and the Cubs. The Detroit outfit is run high back to the fore as a con- tender in the American league under the same leader that piloted it in the winning days of the past—‘Eee Yah” Hughie Jennings. The Chicago gang is being pulled back up the ladder of fame by one of McGraw’s old lieutenants, Roger Bresnahan. Frank Chance guided the destinies of the oldtime pennant copping Cubs —and he was there when they hit the skids, too. It is the indefinable “something” which is missing from the Giant ranks— that ‘“‘something” which a club has to have to stay on top through the long, hot days of August and September when the weak sisters who flash in the spring wither away. The old stars are mostly with the club and seemingly they still deliver the goods. Their batting averages all look good but when you watch their work day after day you see that the ‘“punch” is gone. They are not able to rise up and crush opposi- tion in the crisis anymore as they used to do. Probably the hardest individual blow McGraw got was a wallop by the National league club owners. They reduced the number of players any club could carry to twenty-one. MecGraw was the hardest hit of any National league manager. Last year when the Feds were raiding the ranks of organized ball McGraw, to protect himself, signed most of his veterans under long-time contracts. Now he hasn’t room for the youngs- ters that*he needs in order to build up a club for the future. Obituaries have been written about the Old Master—Christy Mathew- son—year after year. Already he has been consigned to the boneyard this year. But he is still out there on the Giant bench and he will be on the firing line many times this season. And when the hot sun of July and August-melts the kinks out of his arm the “Old Master” will chalk up many a victory on the Giants’ slate. Big Jeff Tesreau, the least bashy Greatly Benefited by Chamberlain’s Liniment. “I have used Chamberlain’s Lini- ment for sprains, bruises and rheu- matic pains, and the great benefit I have received justifies my recom- mending it in the highest terms,” writes Mrs. Florence Slife, Wabash, Ind. If you are troubled with rheu- matic pains you will certainly be pleased with the prompt relief whici Chamberlain’s Liniment affords. Ob- tainable everywhere.

He is big and capable of working often and McGraw is pushing him to the limit until some of his others get going. Rube Mar- quard flashes a few games and then slumps. There is still the chance that he will get right and stay there and if he does he is unbeatable. After he handed the Cubs a beating in the first game of their series here, Roger Bresnahan was heard to ob- serve: “No club in the world could beat that fellow the way he is going to- day. If he keeps that up McGraw won’t have to worry.” Young Stroud, a ‘rookie, surprised McGraw and thousands of others, by breaking a losing streak for the Giants.. Since then he has worked often and he has pitched good ball consistently. Restored to Good Health. “I was sick for four years with stomach trouble,” writes Mrs. Otto Gans, Zanesville, Ohio. “I lost] weight and felt so weak that I almost gave up hope of being cured. A friend told me about Chamberlain’s Tablets, and since using two bottles of them I have been a well woman.” Obtainable everywhere. SECURES PERFECT RECORD (Continued irom Page 1.)

Of this excess, I claimed such part as was needed to satisfy the lien on each particular tract for which it was obtained, should be held by the county for that purppse. But the land department at Washington ruled differently and refused to issue patents until such part was remitted to them. Must Pay For Own Improvements. “Under protest, this was done, but am still urging a change in the ruling as great injustice is done' the pur- chaser by compelling him to pay, not only the $1.25 per acre which: was the price asked by the government for lands that were not worth anything until drained, and assume the ditch ‘tax, which in some cases amounted to $2.50 per acre, but the added value caused by the very improvements for which he has to pay himself, which added value is plainly shown by the bidding at the annual sales.

Would Amend Volstead Act. ““The Volstead act should be amend- ed in such a way that it will specific- ally provide for the above. . “Why should the government bene- fit by the improvements which they will not finance themselves? The purchasers are the proper parties to profit by the improvements which they must pay for themselves. “If you were to purchase a vacant wild tract of land adjacent to St. Paul, and spend thousands of dol- lars to improve same, and then se!l at a profit, the party whom you pur- chased from, wouldn’t be entitled Lo it, would he? Excess Would Pay for Ditches. “If the above change can be made at the coming session of congress, I would almost guarantee that the ex- cess taken it at the sale of 1916 would pay for the ditches for which the taxes were sold. At any rate, for 76 per cent of them. “And a maintenance fund would be provided for, which would enable the county to keep up and improve the ditches when necessary. Under the present system, a new issue of bonds must be provided for by the county, new liens filed, which with other proceedings necessary, add to the cost. “I would like very much to know that you were sufficiently interested in the matter to take it up’ with the proper parties, who would use their influence to pass such an amendment. “Please pardon this long letter, but T am interested in giving you all the information possible, and showing you that, as far as Beltrami county is concerned, drainage is what is need- ed and what is necessary to put the swamp lands into use, and will pay for itself if allowed to.” MANY WITNESS DEMONSTRATION Rose Baumgardner, Richard Simons, James Lappen, Irene Gillean, Mar- garet Backlund.

On the Nels Willett farm, six miles southeast of Bemidji, a stump blow- ing demonstration was given Friday by representatives of the Pluto Pow- der company and the Bemidji Hard- ware company of this city, agents in this territory for the Pluto company. A number of farmers and several townspeople witnessed the work. Sixty pounds of dynamite were used in digging a ditch 60 feet iong and from three to four feet wide, blowing out several large stumps and an im- mense rock found on the Willett place. George Schroeder and Harry Brown, of the Pluto company, and Clyde Petrie, of the Bemidji Hard- ware company, put on the demon- stration. A contest of blowing a stump was held, one demonstration ! being given by the powder men and the other by Olé Moen and Gus Radi when the latter two gave a splendid demonstration of their ability in handling the explosives.
