TO RESPECT CONTRACTS
WESTERN AND CENTRAL POLO
LEAGUES MAKE AN AGREEMENT.
Contract Jumping and Useless Bid
ding for Players Will Not BE Per-
mitted-Players Signed

The polo players who have been doing a
wonderful business signing contracts with
various clubs during the past few weeks
will soon learn that the polo business in the
West is TO be conducted on similar lines as
the baseball leagues. The Western Roller
Polo League and the Central Polo League
took the first steps yesterday for an agree
ment between the two organizations. At a
meeting held at the Imperial Hotel, in this
city. committees OF the two leagues drafted
an agreement which will be ratified by the
two leagues within the next few days. The
Western League was represented by Mr..
Durbin, of Anderson, NJ. c. Henley, OF
Richmond, and Mr.. Norton. of Anderson.
The Central League was represented by
Foor. of Danville, Bronson, of Terre Haute,
and Barnes, of Kokomo.
Those who were at the meeting yesterday
told of cases where they knew that certain
polo players had signed two. and some OIL
them three and four contracts. The new
agreement will provide for such cases, and
the two leagues will respect each other
contracts. Territorial rights will also be
respected.
Many of the clubs have their teams
signed for the coming season, but a Few
of them are still after good men. Players
are holding out for higher salaries. 1t Is
very probable that the two leagues will de-
eide to open their seasons on the same date,
as it is believed that the clubs can make
better terms with the players.

LAFAYETTE, Ind, Sept. 2O.-Coach
Cults yesterday afternoon divided the var
sity football men into two teams. which
were so evenly matched that neither scored
a touchdown until just before the game
ended, when Mowrey made brilliant six
ty-yard run through a crowded field for a
touchdown. The two elevens played a reg
ular game of twenty-minute halves and the
contest was hard-fought. Captain Osborne
led one team and Collar. substitute quar-
ter back, the other. Osborne had OH his
team Zimmerman and Leslie as halves,
Thomas as full back. Farr and Levy,
guards. Allen and McManus tackles and
Sim Miller as one end, the other positions
being filled by members of the squad. On
Collars team. the varsity men, Were:
Hamilton, center; Rebel guard; Powell,
end; Mowrey and Hotter, half backs;
Adams, full back. Members of the second
and third teams were put in the remaining
positions. In the first half neither side
scored. although Zimmerman and Thomas
made some long gains. Considerable punt
ing was INDUCED in. Thomas outkicking
Hotter. In the second half the lineup
was not changed either line. AS the
game progressed both teams began TO play
fiercely Hamilton at center on Adams S
team outplayed Happy Miller, who was
the keystone Of Osborne's eleven. Adams
made long run that was spoiled by
Thomas and later Osborne started for
a touchdown. but was overhauled by the
fieet-footed Adams. Just before the game
ended Mowrey tore around the end and
fought his way through the members of
Osborne's team. Adams acted as interior
ence and the two sped down the field with
out being stopped. Mowrey was obliged
TO dodge and hurdle to avoid being blocked
On Monday the two teams will line up
again. Coach Cults urges the men to play
their best and never for moment allows
them to rest. The first game of the sea
son will be played on Saturday, Sept. e.

CAPTAIN CLARK's STATEMENT.
He Says the Shortridge Players Were
Roughly Treated mt CrawfOrdsvi1le.

Capt. Hazy Clark. of the Shortridge foot
ball team. last night, in discussing the game
mt Charlottesville with Wabash College last
Saturday, had the following TO say:
During all my experience playing foot
ball / have never seen Shortridge players
treated so roughly as they were at Craw-
louisville Saturday. The first half of the
game was clean and fast. In the second
half the Wabash players began roughing
IL and knocking our men out right and
left The Shortridge boys did get back at
them little. but did not slug as has been
reported. Pratt was laid out of the game
and will probably not be able to play again
this season. In the second half 1 was
kicked on the head and have been under a
doctors care since j returned home. / will
not be able 70 join the squad until the
latter part of the week. The crowd rushed
on the field at Charlottesville and pulled
and jerked the Shortridge boys and we were
otherwise roughly handled. As l have
said we never have received such rough
treatment as did at Charlottesville. 1t
is true that We refused TO play when a
colored man was put in the game by Wa
bash.

STRUCK BY POLO BALL.


CHICAGO, Sept. 20.-Nathan Swift, son
Of Louis +. Swift, the packer, died to-day
from the effects of a blow on the temple
with a polo ball at Onwentsia Field during
a game. The accident was at first thought
to be trifling. Mr.. Swift was playing in a
contest in which his companions were Fred
eric Mclaughlin, w. w. Rathbone, Walter
Farwell. Sidney Love, Walter Keith, r. r.
Mccormick and Charles Garfield King.
The ball which struck Mr.. Swift was one
that went high in the air and from the mall
let of Mr.. Love. Mr.. Swift did not appre-
ciate his danger until too late, the glare of
the sun preventing him following the ball
in its flight When the ball hit him he did
not fall from his saddle, and when his COM
panions galloped to his side he was at first
inclined to make light of the injury. He
was induced to dismount and walked with
out aid from the field. Arriving home, he
complained of dizziness, and later he went
into a delrium, which was followed by his
death
The accident which resulted in Mr.
Swift's demise occurred yesterday after
noon. During the night an operation was
performed to relieve ruptured blood YES
sci near the brain. The operation, which
was performed at the country home of the
Swift family, '.Westleigh." in Lake county,
seemed to give relief, but the effect was
only temporary. Three physicians worked
over him constantly until the end
Nathan Swift was born in Chicago ia 1881.
He was an enthusiastic athlete, being
especially devoted TO football and polo.

Country Gentleman.
The best growers of bush fruits make IL
a practice TO carry their fields no longer
than six to nine years. After this time
they are plowed up. new fields being set
in the meantime to keep the crop going.
There are various reasons why bed OF
raspberries or blackberries deteriorates
after a certain number of years. The plants
become weakened with age, they are at
tackled by insects or disease. and they do
not produce young fruiting wood with any
thing like their pristine vigor. Further
than that, the soil becomes exhausted more
or less of elements of fertility. Rotation of
crops Is favorable to success in all lines OF
agriculture, and not less so with fruit crops
than with others We therefore suggest,
as being very strongly indicated by the
symptoms, that IL will be best for YOU TO
set a new field of blackberries at once. and
10 pillow uD the old one as soon as the new
one comes into bearing. In setting new
field, we would insist upon fresh plants
from some good nursery or from some
grower who makes speciality OF growing
plants. 1t is very poor practice and poor
economy TO take plants from an old field.
In case the old field is infected with disease
1t is fatal mistake.

Growing Fence Posts.

Memphis Commercial Appeal
Much interest is being manifested In the
growing of timber trees on waste lands in
various parts of the country. Many are
recommending the catalpa as a rapid grow
ing tree, but in our experience the ravages
of the catalpa caterpillar makes it's culture
rather uncertain. This insect may not be
plentiful in all parts OF the country. but
with us they defoliate the trees every sum-
mer and check the growth to such an ex-
tent as to make them worthless for posts.
The best tree we have ever experimental
with is the yellow locust. known as the
black locust in some sections. We have
trees of this species which In seven years
from the seed were plenty large enough 10
make good fence posts. Everybody knows
the value of the locust for posts. for there
is no wood which lasts longer In the ground.
The trees can be thinned when large enough
for vineyard stakes or other purposes and
a little later another thinning can be mace
for the manufacture OF Insulating pins for
telegraph and telephone poles, for which
this timber il almost exclusively used, and
the mills engaged in this manufacture are
fast using up the natural growth of the
locust in the mountains of the Appalachian
system. The locust sprouts readily from
the stump. and the plantation will rapidly
renew itself If properly thinned.
