Newton appealed to me, and I was
racklng my brain, when who should come
along but Jimmy Burge. He had a five
days growth of beard and, with the "a
Tie pipe he had stuck in his mouth look
ed like tramp for sure. I asked Jimmy
II he wanted to fight and he answered
Anybody at any time.
Inc judge looked him over and would
nave passed him up but for my guaranty
that he would give his opponent all he
cared for. Newton thought Morris was
too big and wanted to substitute Joe
Wa!cott, who was just starting in the
business.
r, How Nv much for the big 'un and how
much for Walcott? asked Burge.
=" Five hundred for Harris and 900 for

Burge clinched the argument

He said that he was bit stiff. but
that a bath would put him in perfect
condition. Going down from New York
on the train lots of sports laughed at

dollars that he would be on his feet at

Morris knocked him about the ring as
though he was a punching bag for the

fifth a terrific right swing caught him on

ropes, but when he came to h1s corner

his bloody fist with that last punch

TENNIS Players Play, RS
= ENGLAND

There will be a greater exodus of
american tennis players to England next
year than ever before. Already nj. ID.
NWhltman, William A. Larned, Beals
raymond ID. Little, Clarence Hobart and
William j. Clothier have signified their
intention OF crossing the water and enter
ing the English championships to be held
next July. This is the strongest aggrega
ton that could possibly be gotten togetrr-
ef IN TINS country, and tennis enthusiasts
VIII be sorely disappointed if the Eigiish
championships are not held by American
next year
Next season will see D. M. Whitman
thrice champion OF the United States,
again playing round the tennis circuit
besides crossing the water and competing
IN the English championships. He ex-
poets to enter the Newport tournament
ana try to work his way from the pre-
urinary round to the finals, where he
mas hopes of defeating his old rival,
William A. Larned, and again becoming
the national champion.
William A. Larned has been considered
a champion possibility at Newport since
1857, but it was not until this year that
he captured the national trophy that he
has striven so long and faithfully to win
his game was uniformly excellent, and
he showed to best advantage in big
matches. In seasons past he has played
brilliantly in the smaller tournaments,
put seemed often to lose his nerve in the
more important matches, and would fall
Off considerably in his game on these
occasions.
William J. Clothier besides taking an
active interest in tennis, expect to try
for end on the Harvard football team
next fall He trains faithfully for tennis
and would be in elegant condition for
football after q hard season at the next
game. Some tennis critics say that Cloth
Ter will give Beals Wright a hard tussle
to again win the tennis champioship OF
Harvard next spring,
Clarence Hobart still continues to play
n
he displayed at Newport in the early
nineties He has played abroad for the
last four years. and made an excellent
showing in the English and European
tournaments that he entered. His long
underhand swinging stroke has great
power back of it, and is very difficult for
an opponent to return. Hobart comes to
the net at every opportunity, and uses
rare judgment in placing the bali from
the volley. Mr.. Hobart's wife is fine
player, and made quite a record for her
self while abroad.
Fred Alexander, the present champion
of Princeton university who has been
r. d. Littles partner in doubles the last
two years, plays the famous twist ser
vice invented by HolcOmbe Ward and
Davis play the stroke he began to prac-
tice it, and by sticking everlastingly at
it can now play the twist service as well
as it's originators.
Leo Ware, the ex-Harvard champion,
was looked upon as coming champion
three years ago, but his game, if any,
thing, has deteriorated since then, be-
cause he has not taken proper care OF
himself.

sometimes outdid that Of the managers.
Everyone remembers Kelly's pugnacious
disposition. He was always out to win,
and the umpire was never in the right If
the decision was against him. Tt is said
that one of his old tricks was to go 20
Capt. Arson and offer to bet him $l00 on
the game against the outsiders. Some
times the Gap" would take him up, and
in this event Kelly would see the man
who was to pitch and venture the opin-
lon that the Chicago players did not
stand much of a show. The upshot of it
would be that the pitcher would wager
a new hat that Chicago would win, and
then he would do everything but throw
his arm off in his efforts to win He usu-
ally succeeded by putting unusual steam
into his curves, in landing the game
and then Kelly would collect 500 from
Arson and buy the pitcher a new hat
Frank Lane, the veteran umpire, always
made it a point to tell this story when he
met Kelly.
Twitchell, when he was pitching for
Detroit, would have his sizzling curves
knocked all over the field by the Chicago
ans whenever he met them, and one day
he Is SAD to have gone to the manager
ana endeavored to back out of playing

AFTER Spalding had sold Kelly and
Clarkson to Boston for $4,000 each, the
nine nine began to decline. Spalding, mean
time, was beginning to be overwhelmed
with mis- sporting goods business, and in
1881 he r1tired from the presidency of
the club, after he had made a tour of
the. world with two teams of represent
tatlve ball players, the Chicago club and
the All-Americas. The tourists left
Chicago on Oct. 20, went to San Francis
co, from there to Honolulu, New Zeal
and, Australia, Egypt, India, through
Europe, and back to New York
During the last three years Spalding
mas taken a great interest in golf He
now spends large part of MS time in
California, and during the summer he
lives in Chicago or New York
those who are cOnversant with the
politics of professional baseball say that
Spalding is the one man who is capable
of elevating the game to the place it oc-
cupied ten years ago. His policy will
be one of peace. From steps he has al
ready taken he will undoubtedly establish
friendly relations with the American as
ISOLATION and arrange for games with
Ban Jonnson's men at the opening and
close of the season.
He is said to be strongly opposed to the
recent plan of trying to squelch all
teams not affiliated with the league, be-
cause he delights in good baseball.

RRICH TRIBUTE TO
- AMERICAN BOXERS

The London Telegraph, in reviewing
boxing for last year, pays high tribute
to the American boxers, both for their
skill with the gloves and their behavior.
It says:
Compared with the American, Eng
lishmen, as was the case last year, are
second rate-a remarkable fact, seeing
that the gloves were used here so far
back as 1740, while boxing was not prac-
ticed in the States until many years
later. Indeed, We're such thing as An

be that we get none but the elite of the

LINCOLN, Neb., Jan 17-Northwest-
ern university has accepted Nebraska's
terms for Thanksgiving football game
on the campus of the latter at Lincoln.
Negotiations had been in progress since
the gr1diron season ended, but Nebras-
ka's offer was such liberal one that
the athletic authorities Of the Methodist
school gave order to Coach HOLSTER this
week to accept. Notice to that effect
reached Chairman Wyer, Of Nebraska,
today, and contracts have been forward
ed giving Northw estern the option to
make the arrangements good for two
years, If 1t desires.
With the Thanksgiving day problem
out of the way, the schedule of the corn
huskers is practically settled so far as
concerns Nebraska's stronger opponents
in the football world. Minnesota and
Wisconsin are both on the Nebraska
schedule, and while Iowa is in prospect
the Hawkeye management must recant
in the idea OF playing early In October,
or else look elsewhere than the corn
huskers. Games will be booked with
Doane, Drake, Ames and Grinnell col

Kansas and Missouri universities the
schedule will be complete.

Exploring West Side

H. C. Oakley has recently devoted considerable time to exploring the lands lying west of New river, having thus far succeeded in making a very thorough inspection of the lands lying between the international line and Superstition mountains.
 There still remains territory subject to irrigation north of the mountains regarding the character of which very little Is known. One of the most in- accessible parts of the desert lies be- tween the Superstition mountains and lndio, and it will be impossible to look over that region in the summer time, oil account of the distances be- tween water supplies. It is believed, however, that in that section there is a large amount of land which will eventually be irrigated through the Imperial irrigation system.

Protecting CantaIoupes

One of the farmers who has been watching the growth of crops in the valley and who is planning to put in cantaloupes next winter, is planning now for the crop. He will plant strips of sorghum this summer about ten feet wide and 100 feet apart. After cutting the crop ill the fall he will SOW barley in the sorghum. The barley will come on for early protection to the cantaloupes and ill March the sorghum will start growing, making a high wall about the melon vines and giving them ample protection when most needed.
 Experience at Indio as we'll as at Imperial indicates that the cantaloupes and other early vegetables must be we'll protected, as the plan is to crowd the season to the utmost. At Indio this year some of the farmers planted their melons four times, losing three crops of vines, but even then coming in with the earliest melons grown in the United States. It is in triumphing over nature that the greatest profits are made, and there is now hardly a doubt that Imperial will be in the early melon business next year to the extent of several hundred acres.
