BENEDICTS LOSE T0 SINGLE MEN “Sheiks” at Landers Win First Game of Three Game Series The single men of the Landers, Frary & Clark Co. office force took the first game of a three-game series of baseball from the married men last night at Willow Brook park. It was a free hitting contest and end- ed with the score 19 to 7 in favor of the unmarried men. Jackson, pitcher for the benedicts, was in poor form and he was touch- ed yp freely in the first four innings. The “sheiks” batted around in the second frame. However: lack of support was the real cause of his withdrawal from the box in the third. Gronbach, who succeeded him puszled the night wanderers with his round house curve and he would have held the opposition scoreless had his infleld been able to handle the ball. Hart, pitching for the unburdened single men, had a good mg‘\(’nnd kept the benedicts dumping the ball in the infield where it was promptly taken care of. Holmberg proved to be the heavy hitter for the losers getting lnur‘hus including two doubles, in five times at bat. Maitz and Lindgren form"{l. the heavy artillery for the “sheiks. Maitz got a four out of fl\'o.includ- ing a triple and a double. Lindgren smashed out a triple and a single which went for a home run when the center fielder let the ball go through his legs. Despite the one-sided score, game was an interesting one an much enthusiasm is being shown in the balance of the series. The mar- riad men expect to use their pitch- ing ace, Hayward, in the next en- counter while the singles will use Hart or Recano. “HALT SHOWING OF ‘REAL LIFE' NOVIE Best Citizens Refused to Be “Stfll’l‘fil” — Tampa, Fla., Aug. 6 (UP)—Tam- pa had developed an air of watchful waiting today while lawyers ponder- ed on ways of stopping a court ex- hibition of the famous Key club movie.

SQUAW SAYS SHE 15 115 YEARS OLD Seneca Indian Furthermore, Thrives on Tobacco North Tonawanda, N. Y., Aug. 5. —The incessant use of tobacco in all forms has not stunted the growth of Nancy Blacksquirrel Miller, 115- year-olé squaw on the Tonawanda Reservation for Seneca Indians just outside Akron, N. Y. Nancy has at- tained this ripe old age without once giving up chewing or smoking. The squaw comes from a line of long lived Indians, as her mother claimed to be 150. She died of dropsy more than forty years ago after only a few days’ fllness. A sis- ter, Lucinda Ground, is nearly 100. Nancy doesn’t know what a day's illness means, despite the use of to- bacco and whenever possible of pre- war liquor or what have you? A daughter, Carrie Jones, sixty-seven, who lives with her mother, has suf- fered more illness in the past several vears than Nancy has throughout a long life fraught with hardships and thrilling incidents. When Carrie is ill her mother fre- quently is compelled to wait on her and get the meals. Her favorite dish is fried onions, of which she seems never to tire. Although only one or two teeth are left, she eats with evi- dent relish, and does not find it necessary to diet. Spry as a Girl ‘When Nancy goes from her little two-siory house on the reservation to the store, a quarter of a mile away, she is as spry as the average girl. When seen at her home she wore a rather nodescript dress of calico with a somewhat soiled gingham apron and athletic looking black sneakers. Out of deference to her visitor she went into the house and later re- |returned to the porch with a black vealed that both of Locke's ankles |sateen beaded cap which is the only existing relic of her native costume.

The shirt front was auto- four, her daughter, granddgughter and grandson, with whom she makes her home, are washed by the hands of Nancy. ! Many other household tasks thought burdensome by the average white woman are still indiflged in most primitive style by the. aged squaw. Nancy's bedtime is swratic, depending on the hour of retirement of the rest of the family. 80 long'as any one else is up she refuses to go to bed, and is up with the first streak of dawn, Born in Buffalo Born in Buffalo in 18312. Naney was the daughter of John anq Han- nah Blacksquirrel. Her father was & soldier and did not see his pappose | for some time after her -arrival. Nancy's' earliest recollection of: her father were at the time the Indians were being driven from Buffalo, sev- eral years after the close of the War of 1812, The family finally came :-to rest with a number of their kin, the Seneca tribe, on the outskirts ef what is now the village of Akrenm, where Nancy was reared. “Their home was a log cabin, so she has never lived in the proverbial tepee nor gone on the trail except the en- forced march from their old home- stead when she was a girl. Beveral years ago Nancy was tak- en for an airplane ride. She felt this means of transportation infinitely superior to the old mode of travel when they marched five days te visit friends near S8yracuse. Nancy delights in riding in automobiles.
