A THE CREAMERY,

People who do not send milk Go the creamery because they have not yet learned whether it pays, begin to notice with some interest that no less than three or four of the patrons have bought and arc running fine new wagons, every one of them beauties; not cheap things. This isn't because the new owners have any
 inflated ideas. Every one of them ls a conservative, careful man, who pays as
 ne goes. It is because ready money is not so scarce as formerly. The lesson
 10 b. learned is, the keeping of good

Heggerty May Fight Dixon.

A piece of news of interest to boxers
and their friends is the fact that in a
few weeks Charlie White of New York
will send the necessary funds to Tim
Heggerty, the featherweight champion
of Australia, with which he can jour
ney to this country from Melbourne,
where he is now located. If the negoti
atoms are carried out successfully, Heg-
gerty, on his arrival here, will at once
challenge George Dixon for the feather
weight championship of the world and
stake and purse. A club near New
York will make bid for the bout, and
on paper it looks SO interesting that the
clubs will undoubtedly compete at a
lively rate for the purpose of having
such an attractive card. 1t behooves
Dixon to take good care of himself, foI
more than one manager is casting about
in the attempt to find man who can
win the much coveted featherweight
championship. New York Sun.

Thinks stanbury WIN Win.

In speaking of the forthcoming row.
ing contest between Stanbury and Gau-
daur, the Philadelphia Ledger says: 'In
all likelihood Stanbury will start favor
lite in the betting. Although the date of
the race is considerable way off, yet
it may be safe to say that the Aus
tralian will win it. The course is great
ly i'll his favor, as it is straightaway
course. Stanbury at the Texas regatta
showed that he is not at home i'll u race
with turn. Not only Gaudaur, but "a
rover like Peterson, defeated him. That
is proof that Stanbury's abilities cannot
be estimated by his regatta work i'll
this country. He is a powerful rover
and can stay the distance. His perform
ance against Harding not long ago
showed him to be as good as he ever
was. Some people consider him as good
as Searle was, and if he is that he will
defeat Gaudaur just as sure as they
meet. But he does not need to be as
good as was Searle to defeat the Cana
dian. In my humble opinion, he is not
AS good a sculler rs the late world s
champion, but he is good enough to de-
feat Gaudaur. The latter before sailing
for England stated that he never felt
better in his life This is a very salts
factory piece of news, as it means there
will be no excuse for defeat il defeat is
to be the portion of Gaudaur. P"

Shell Game.
"Dickers i'll baseball players are
about as much of Il gamble as playing
the horses, and sometimes there is sort
of shell game mixed up i'll these dick
ers, says baseball magnate. 1.-THE
shells are spelled on you when you buy

ceived letter from An ambitious young

who wanted me to give him chance to
play i'll Washington. He was willing to
work for $75 month. 1 never sign
ball player unless have seen him work,
and couldn't break my rule by signing
this ambitious young applicant, whose
name is Dahlen, and who is now play
ing the short field for Uncle Arson.
"Another player wanted an opening
OH my team i'll 1890. He fixed his salary
at $50 per month. He had recommends
tions to show that he was a promising
young player, worthy of a trial in fast
company. But l couldn't sign him on
the Endorsement of those did not know

now one of the cracks of Ed Hanlm's

Joe Kelley. Still, l have herd it said
that luck doesn't cut any figure i'll base

that it doesn't are the managers who
have enjoyed large share of luck.
"The purchase of young ball player
is as big risk as buying an untried

race horses, have their good and bad
years. ''-Philadelphia Press
