KEENE, International lllustrated News Sports Editor HERE'S ANOTHER raid being planned on the American | Treasury, and no less an eminent dough-getter than Luis Angel Firpo, one-time Wild Bull of the Pampas, is the gent behind the raid aforementioned. Luis doesn’t intend any ring come-back. The walloper who gave Prof. Dempsey his greatest thrill and spilled him into a ringsider’s lap is probably through with the squared circle for- ever, as he has grown fatter than ever, gnd now resembles a super-dreadnought. However, fisticuffs seem to run in the Firpo homestead back there in dear old Buenos Aires, ing his younger brother, Juan, and is getting ready to hop a | steamer and bring him to Ameril up. with his knuckles, and Luis has finished conditi - ican shores for a nice big clean- Juan is a welterweight, and is said to know what to do At any rate, his coming is awaited with interest, not only Ly the denizens of Cauliflower Al ley, but representatives of the Treasury Department, who always display marked vinterest 11 the ccin collected by any Firpo, BANCROFT TO AID WILBERT ROBINSGN IN PENNANT RACE NEW YORK, March 5—“Beau- ty” he was nicknamed years ago, and “Beauty” he still is. - Dave Bancroft, one of the best in the shortstepping line who ever came down the pike, will play with the | Dodgers this year, and in the eyes of Wilbert Robinson, the Dodger boss, Banny looms as‘the same old “Beauty.” Uncle Robbie is counting on Bancroft to plug up the shortstop hole, steady down the youngsters and act as right-hand man in general. Bancroft is nearly thirty-six, old as baseball players go, but ther> will be far worse shortstops play- ing regularly in: the National league this season, and many casier chances getting away than Dave comes up with. OLD TIMERS FIND MEMORIES BLOCKED BY ANCIENT HULL The boat on the beach a few hundred yards south.of Salmon Creek Point on the Glacier High- way, belleved to be the Standard 11, has been the subject of much discussion among Juneauites dur- ing the past few days. " Arguments were opened when two well known Juneau men placed a bet ‘on the length time the ship has’ been on the beach. One declared the boat has been there since 1915 and the other says it has not 'been there that long. o Many “of Juneau's old time: deglare the boat has “heen las long as they can ronu-mber |but nome of them are positive just how long, although they are certain it has been there since before 1915. Different evidence, | brought to light fhrough the| Customs records, those who, claim they put the boat on the beach, would defin-: itely set the date as somewhere! between 1900 and 1920. The boat is believed Standard II, but beam numbers {those on the Customs record, tonnage does not check up. Pos- sibly the boat now on the beach to be the although her timers remember. ——————— ATTENTION If you mneea good carpenter | phone 498. Handy Andy’s Shop. A. P. LAGERGREN, Prop. adv. — .
