Prof Hall devoted some time to the
review of the experimental work at the
university. He stated that this is
carried on not for the especial bene-
fit of the pupils studying agriculture
there but for the benefit of the peo-
pie of the state at large, as well. In
fact the first aim is to work along the
lines that the people of the state desire

Work of Judging.
The process of corn judging was
rather laborious pne. There were As
samples of 10 ears each submitted
to ]. w. Winter, the expert from Wi
mona, ILL.,, who had the work in charge.
Each ear had to be measured and the
depth of grain and the shape ascer-
tanned and recorded Then five ears
of each sample were shelled and the
shelled corn and the cobs weighed.
In awarding the prizes perfection in
the ears. character and depth of the
kernels and the relative weight of
shelled corn and cobs were taken into
consideration.
Scarcely less arduous was the task
set for the committee named to award
the prizes for the best report on the
manner in which the corn was grown.
The committee consisted of Willard
Parmenter, John Hofer and W. Fl. Ash
down. Each of the As reports were
carefully read and judged for COM
pleteness, conciseness and neatness.

NJ. H. Sexton, president of the Rock
Island Baseball association. today was
summoned to appear in the Mclean
county court, in Bloomington, on Feb.
next to defend the application for
injunction that has been filed in behalf
Of the Rockford association in its en-
ieavor to- regain the berth it formerly
ield in the Three-Eye league. The
summons was served through the of
ice of Sheriff Heider. Similar writs
have been served on the presidents of
the clubs in the other cities of the
league
THE fight that Rockford is making
the merest child's play" President
Sexton said The harm has already
)een done. and l can't see how an in
junction can be gotten to prevent an
act that has been committed.
Protected by Bylaws.
THE bylaws of the league are plain
On the proposition giving the right of
the league. through its directorate. to
displace any city that may. for bust
hess reasons. be no longer desiratle
as a member. True. there was ract.
by resolution, entered into by which
the eight cities agreed to remain to-
sether for term of years. but in or
Ter TO make this hold the bylaws had
% be changed. This was not done. so
for my part l can't see that Rockford
has leg to stand upon. The fran
chise has been transferred to Poor a
and an association has been formed
there. manager appointed. and the
work of signing up team is being
proceeded with.
Only Few Behind Move
Rockford is out, and doubtless will
remain there. The conservative ~
ment that has supported baseball in
that city, while naturally not pleased
with the action of the league. under
stands the situation, and apDreciat"s
it, and that is simply that Rockford
had come TO be a financial burden
rather than a benefit. and it was neces-
sary. following out the law of self
preservation, for the directors to do
just as they have done There are a
few fans there who imagine that the
DISTINGUISHING of their city was
prompted by other than business mo-
tives. There have been disputes be-
tween the several cities over Ques-
tons affecting the league at different
periods of its existence, and these men
have gotten it into their heads, or they
are trying to create that impression,
that there was conspiracy between
certain of the cities to get even with
Rockford for old scores by pushing
that city out of the organization. Ev-
cry one who knows the situation in

that is dope purely"

SALT LAKE, July 5.-There is the
usual amount of conversation going on
in pugilistic circles, but there Is mighty
little doing at the present time. Tommy
Reilly wants to meet Billy Woods, a
colored middleweight from the coast,
in this city. and Manager Fisher OF the
Salt Lake club is trying to get the
men together. Jack Kelly of the
Shamrock club is trying to get a match
for Jerry Mccarthy and has been dick
ering with Jack Reilly and Nose La

either of them. The game Is dead in
this city for time anyhow and 1t is
not probable that any one will be al
lowed to pull off a fight here for some
time.

Story Of How a Young New
Yorker Won the
Championship

John Rodenbach, the New York youth
went to California and wrested the
amateur heavyweight championship Of
the world from Sam Berger is an in
teresting story. He is only 20 years
fiat, and works from midnight to
o'clock In the morning as flOorman
In the department Of street cleaning
stables, in Fifteenth street.
The title which he has won has not
given him any notitions of entering
the prize ring, either, and an amateur
he says he will always remain II he
lives to be hundred years old.
Rodenbach has been amateur middle
weight champion Of America since 1899
and when he discussed going to Cali
fOrnia to fight Berger wise men ad-
vised him to stay away. Berger is a
head taller than you." they told him.
"He has Knocked Jim Corbett down
and closed Fitzsimmons' eye. He'll put
It all over you."
But what "Dody" did to Berger is a
matter Of pugilistic history He went
to Frisco, boxed the wonderful big
Berger, outfooted and outpunched him
from the start. and won such a clean
cut victory that the two judges al
though friends Of Berger, awarded the
decision to Dodenbach without mo-
ment's hesitation.
The triumph was the most notable
ever won by an amateur fighting man.
Rodenbach. weighing 1855 pounds and
standing feet Sk inches In his shoes.
outfought Berger. who weighed 1872
pounds and stood feet ~ inches.
"Berger's a powerful fellow" said
Rodenbach. "and he's as fast on his
feet as Jim Corbett. but he has to set
before he can hit. while I can let go
punch any time, whether I'm going in
or backing away or side-stepping
That's how beat him. Maybe was
a little quicker, too, but the punches
that came at him without any warn
ing were too much for Sam Berber.
Every time saw him getting set Just
skipped out Of his way. He only
caught me once or twice on the body
and then I was going away from the
blows
Il went back to my corner at the end
Of the first round and told my second
Paddy Moran. who has trained me for
all my championships. that II was go
Ing to be easy. Just keep him guess
ang.' Paddy said. and don't take any
chances with him. And that's all I
had to do.s
Rodenbach laughs as he shows the
cup. emblematic Of the championship
ne won. to his friends. 1t Is a hand
some silver vase. standing on a ped
estal Of polished ebony. and is more
than two feet high This Is the story
OF the cup, as Rodenbach brings II back
from the coast:
Berger went to the silversmith's with
the committee who had the fight in
charge. and when he was shown a cup
much smaller than the one now in
Rodenbach's possession ne objected.
IT'S pretty enough" said Berger,
but It isn't big enough for the anna
teur championship of the world"
1T won't grow any bigger" said the
committee. We've put too much money
into It now"
oh. very well: II I must, must,-
Berger remarked. Then he gave the
silversmith 31s5 more out OF his own
pocket and had him make larger cur.
or course, he was confident that he
would win the bout"
