trouble with ringers" Somebody in his
country Is campaigning a big gray trotting
horse that is taking every purse and stake

turf thought he recognized in the winner
an American horse named William c. K.
that in 1895 took a mark Of 2.12.
William c.. K. was sold to foreigners by
A NJ. Kirby Of Detroit and he and his
trainer, jeff Cunningham, have been sum-
moned to Russia by the car, all expenses
paid and bonus besides. to identify the
horse.
William c. K. is by Pilot Medium-Cora
Russell. He Is sixteen hands high and
bears a remarkable resemblance to the ia
nous breed of Russian grays. He was en-
tered in Fasig-Tipton's sale several years
ago, but was sold at private sale to men
who said they wanted to race him at VI
emma.
William C. K. was never heard Of again.

Must Revise Schedule.

Messrs Somers and Kilfoyle, the Cleve-

terday from New York. where negotiations
for peace between the two leagues were
commenced last week.
1.-The prospects for reaching an amicable
working arrangement between the two or
PLANTATIONS at the coming conference" says
Mr., Kilfoyle, lis very bright. The play
ing schedule of the National League will
almost certainly be revised in order to
avoid conflicting dates. ALI litigation and
controversy over players will be dropped.
The American League has never signed a
player who had a bona fde contract with
the National League. AS a result we will
not be required to release single player.
ION the other hand. every contract with
our players viii be carried out regardless
of the salary involved"

Interiors Fine Bowling Won,

High class bowling was the feature Of the
contest between the Interior and War
teams of the Departmental League at the
Palace alleys last night. The Interiors
were in remarkable form, and in the entire
set Of three games, all of which went to
their credit, they did not once fall under
the 900 mark. The War team also bowled
well, but the brilliant work Of the Interiors
swept them off their feet and enabled the
latter to place three straight games to their
credit. In the third game, Cogan of the
War team knocked over 220 pins and gained
the top score honors Of the evening.

CROPS IN THE JIM VALLEY
Harvesting in Full sway and Conssr-
vative Estimates show
Enormous Yield.

HURON, s. D., Aug. B.--(speciai)-
Beadle county and the Jim river valley Is
now harvesting one OF the finest crops Of
small grain ever garnered In this portion
Of the state. A very large part Of the
barley and rye is cut. and oats and wheat
are being harvested rapidly. Every avail
able man. team and machins-harvesters
and headers-are at work; in several fields
women are driving Teams and otherwise as
sisting In the harvest.
Thus far the weather has been perfect
for this work, and 1t Is being pushed with
wonderful rapidity. Scores OF fields were
cut on Sunday, 80 anxious are the farmers
to secure their grain; n this is peces-
STATED because OF q scarcity OF help. The
later isown wheat will not be ready to cut
for several days, meantime there is no ces-
sation Of barley rye and cat cutting.
Estimates OF Yields vary, but there is
no question as 70 the crop Of small grain
being one Of the best ever harvested In
the Jim river valley. while the quality will
be superior to grades OF former years. The
FIRST reports from threshing comes from w.
8. Loban Of Hitchcock. whose barley went
forty-cne bushels to the acre, machine
measure.
Corn Is making rapid advancement; rain
Is needed IN some sections. but the crop Il
generally in good condition. and very prom
good.
Potatoes ara maturing and the yield viii
exceed expectations-the crop will be ex-
c~eptionaily fine. Some are being marketed
