over before the spectators have an OPP
portunity to get line on the big fell
lows. The sporting writer's throughout
the country are about evenly divided as
to the outcome.
Some claim that Sharkey is going to
have the fight of his life. and they say
that unless the sailor goes after his man
from the cal of time and finishes him in
quick order, he will never do it. Others
say that Sharkey should win the fight
without much trouble. at almost any
stage Still others think the men are
about on even terms and they predict
great battle. There are some few who
believe Russell will win.
1t is doubtful if Russell can win
against the sailor. He. of course, has
the chance that every man who enters
a ring has. but that would appear a
small chance. Sharkey has had great
ring experience. He has fought men in
whose class Russell was never consi1

ShARkfY and RUSSELL BATTLE
IN DENVER TOMORROW NIGHT.

ago 21O pounds and ne is hard as nails.
He says he will get the decision over
Sharkey and that he lis confident that
he Will be. more than mach for the
sailor. Fighters generally say things
like that.
Russell has never had any really good
fights. that is. with men Who are in the
Sharkey class. He met Joe Choynskl in
Denver about six months ago. but ii was
not a fight 1t was simply rough
house with Russell as the rougher.
He showed himself to be strong and
Knocked Choyrski through the ropes.
Still it was not a fight as fights so.
Russells tactics We're such that he
lost the fight on a foul and immediately
he became very unpopular Those who
saw the mill made up their minds that,
while Russell was a tower of strength,
and might some day he taught the game
of give and take. what he did not know
then about prize fighting it should
be would fill a book.
Later. when Russell met Mccormick
of Teas. it was impossible to note wheth-
er he had improved. as the fight did not
go one round. Mccormick going out in
easy fashion. For the brief period Rus
sell was in The ring he handled himself
we'll, but that was no criterion. as he
did not have a chance to lose his head.
When Russell gets ratified he goes Wild.
1t is now stated mat Russell has inn
proved greatly at the game. He has
needed few bits of sound advice and
he assures his friends that he will keep
his top piece" working while he is in
front of Sharkey. If he does he will
have a chance as his great strength
will outlast that of the sa;:or. We will
know all about it after the go. and who
knows but what Russell may prove an
agreeab BILE surprise to his friends?

A BASEBALL RULE CHANGED

The Naional league magnates have
decided to change at least one of the
new rules made last winter. This is re-
garding the batsman being hit by a
pitched ball. According to the rule
which it has been decided to rescind, a
ball which hit batsman would only
count a ball. but now, as formerly.
the batsman will be given his base. This
change was decided upon by a mail vote
of the magnates.
The resembling Of the new rule was in
Difference to public opinion. The idea
of not giving the batsman a base was
condemned all over the circuit, it being
argued that it encouraged reckless twirl-
ers to scare timid batsmen by either
hitting them or sending the ball so close
to their anatomies that only the most
daring would stand close to the plate.
In resembling the hit-by- pitched ball
rule the magnates decided on another
change which will not be so noticeable,
although it is of considerable imports
ance. This is the lines of the batter'S
box.
Heretofore the lines have been so
drawn that one of them was six inches
away from the edge of the home plate.
Now the line will be nine inches away.
The object of this change is blow to
DdtSIlen VINO ike 10 PICK out sou OF
easily pitched balls and permit them to
strike their bodies. The batsmen will
therefore be unable to turn their bodies
so that balls which go over Or close to
the plate will hit them.
1t Is understood that all the magnates.
barring President Hart of the Chicago
club, who is the chairman of the rules
committee, are also willing to rescind
the new rule which calls foul strike.
This change is expected to come later.
for it does not appear to hit tine pub

Manager Davis of the New York base
ball team is again in great luck. Since
his find of the phenomenal pitcher, Billy
Phyle he has developed another likely
youngster for the box, in the person of
Roger Denzer. Manager Davis says the
yOungster is more likely even than
Phyle. He says Denzer can be relied
upon to give good account of himself
during the season.
With such promising youngsters as
Phyle and Denzer added to it's already
fine pitching department New York
should have no trouble winning games.

For the Farmer

/ Nine years ago, when I took the
management Of Deerfoet farm, there
ras large tract Of run out pasture
land. covered with brush and stones,
says e. NJ. Smith In The American Ag-
Ficulturist. l cut out the top stones
and carted them of, then plowed and
followed the plow with men with
Dicks and bars, digging out the stones
IN the bottom of the burrows and
throwing them back. Later they were
carted of. AS l had time after doing
the regular farm work, I kept on and
have reclaimed 20 acres Of this kind
OF land, using most Of the stones In
building farm roads. After the stones
are off, the land is narrowed, and all
roots and niger heads are carted Off
1t Is then sowed to Hungarian grass,
rye or peas and oats, according to the
time Of year we get to it.
After the crop Ia off plow again and
manure and harrow 1t in and seed to

haze had great success cutting good
crops Of hay. The soil is heavy loan,
underlaid with clay, and not adapted
