Indian Runners Start 480-Mile Foot Race San Francisco, Calif., June 14.—(U l’> Something new in foot races—a 480-mile marathon, open only to Indian runners — was to start today when 11 young braves leave San Francisco for their long trek northward in quest of cash and glory. Zuni and Karook tribes furnished the entrants, trained and hardened after weeks of preparation. These youths’ names—" Flying Cloud," "Falcon." "Mad Bull." smack of their tight-»-ig ancestors, but in reality they are quiet mannered folk, looking much like school or college athletes. To win the main prize of SI,OOO. the first Indian to finish must arrive in Grants Pass, Oregon, in 15 days. Towns along the Redwood highway, over which the race will be run. have contributed smaller purses for the first runner to reach their community, so it is possilde for the winner to earn several thousand dollars. 0 * Bobhy Jones Eclipsed In National Golf Meet Oawmont Country Club. Hulton. Pa.. June 14—H'nifed Press) —The temporary eclipse of Bobby Jones, the champion, was the first outstanding feature of the National Open Golf Championship today. Struggling as he seldom has had to do on a golf course, with rain beating in his face and trickling down his neck. Bobby went around in 76, four strokes above par. No sooner had the champion finish ed his round than "Lighthorse” Har-. ry Cooper, fiom the west, came dripping in with a 74. o BASEBALL’S BIG FOUR (By United Press) Ruth made a double in four times up.

Collins was batting for Joe Boley. In a game which boiled over with home runs, the New York Yankees beat the Cleveland Indians, 14-6. Ben Paschal got two homers, while Lazerri, Dugan and Collins collected one each. Four Cleveland pitchers — Shaute, Karr, Levsen and Buckeye failed to stem the Yank attack. Elam Van Gilder pitched gilt edged ball for the St. Louis Browns, blanked the Boston Red Sox, held them to five hits and knocked out a home run. The Browns won, 2-0. The skidding Chicago White Sox collected only three hits off Alvin Crowder of the Washington Senators, got 15 off Ted Blankenship and Elmer Jacobs. Washington, 10; Chicago, 0. Lashing out their ninth consecutive victory the Chicago Cubs held on to their second place position in the National league a game and a half behind the Pittsburgh Pirates. Sheriff Blake pitched good ball and beat the Giants for the third game in a row, 6-2. Paul Waner's home run plus Ray Kremer’s pitching accounted for the Pittsburgh Pirates 4-3 win from the Brooklyn Robins. Kremer went seven innings and then left the mound in favor of Hill. Kremer made his first start since early May, when he wa« injured in Brooklyn. — o Toledo —Tlje Milwaukee Brewer — Mudhen game was rained out. Springfield, 111. The bill to put amateur boxing under the control of the state athletic commission will not pass the house of representatives, it was evident today. The bill was attacked bitterly by Representative Thomas O'Grady, who said it was presented to freeze out other promoters and allow Jim Mullen to dominate amateur as well as professional boxing.

HIGHWAYSIN | FAIR CONDITION Maintenance Men Are At Work On Roads Throughout Adams County Adams county roads are in fair condition, according to reports of road workers from afl parts of the county, and the county highway men ire busy every day dragging the roads and getting them in shape for the summer traffic. All roads have been improved the 'sst few weeks, and new stone has been rolled Into the ruts made by the heavy spring traffic. Township road workers have been dragging the roads the last several weeks, and report most of them in good condition for travelling. A few roads, where the spring rains made it impossible to work on them earlier in the spring, are still rough, but highway workers say that they will be in good shape within the next few days. I As a rule, the north and south roads are in better condition than tlio cast and west roads, but several of the east and west roads have been conditioned the last few days. Work is continuing on the federal road south of Decatur to Monroe, where a tarvia surface is being installed. The road will probably be closed during most of the summer. The Monroe road is the only closed road in the county at present. o REV. SCHMITT SAYS HIGH MASS (COXTIM F.I) FROM PtGE OXEI qcolytes.

FLAG DAY FLAG DAY T uesday, f : 1 Tuesday, June 14th % June 14th SUNRISE WAITING with eagerness the dawn, the Eastern sky prepares her weave of filmy cloud. Stars of first magnitude, midst ripening blue, still hold their vigil. Broad bands of silver and crimson creep up from the horizon, gloriously tint the mists of night and give the morning kiss to the stars. The banner of the new day is complete. • ' Swift following, the lancers of the King of Light swing down their spears and drive the night before them. Then comes the royal chariot in view, arousing the sleeping world to action and sending the slinking beasts of darkness to their dens. The banner is already far in advance, heralding the Sunrise to a benighted people. For how long a time did civilization Drepire for the coming of the dawn of Liberty! The night of tyranny and oppression seemed endless. The minions of hate roamed unrebuked ant stalked their prey, equality and freedom scarce daring to venture forth into the open except "i * the doom of martyrdom as their menace. But g earning through the darkness shone the etetna stars of God's thought for humanity, the vital principles of man’s brotherhood under His Fatherhood. A new sun was born, centering within its'lf all the pure qualities of human relationship, sending its hone rays against the protesting clouts of despotism, paralleled bv the crimson flow of sacrifice, which ever travels side by side with the progress of idealism. The stellar vigil hai - ed the coming of a new day to Liberty. The glorious ensign of Freedom’s reign spanned tm sky and the chariot of human brotherhood, the United States of America, brought the Sunrise of universal equality. What brnner could more certainly typify the dawn of a new epoch in civilization than the Stars and Stripes? Whether it shall continu? to lead the vanguard of a brotherhood, untie the principles t ecreed by the Father when the exrth was given to man for a heritage, is you problem and mine. The day following the Sunr!se is ours. Charles E. Whelan. We join with all the Patriotic Citizens in Saluting the Flag Today. Cloverleaf Creameries Inc.
