A New Story on John L.
 Sullivan - Good Battle in New Bedford-Be stein May Meet Hanlon

The following looks like story that has not told before in print. Any way, it is about John l.. Sullivan. And that ought to make it go:
 In Liverpool hostelry he was ac- costed by half-starved man with five children. Sullivan gave him sover- eign, and asked how much it would cost to clothe the family. The man smiled incredulously, and shook his head. Sullivan gave sufficient money for the outfits, and requested him to be on view the following morning.
 Sullivan thought no more of the man until passing the hostelry next day he was reminded of his appoint ment. He was astonished~ on entering the public to see the recipient and the ''kids'' handsomely equipped. They rose to be admired, and Sullivan, bind ing the bargain little further, pre- sented the man with another sover- eign.
 a And a sovereign or it's equivalent, a five dollar note, looks big to John l.. at times now, notwithstanding the fact that he detains an earning capaci- ty on the stage of over $500 a week whenever he deigns to work.

4.738.9s5 bushels; Belgium almost as much, and France, Italy, Spain, Brazil, smaller quantities.
 The production of maize, or Indian corn. in the Argentine Republic, while it9has been going on for many years, is only now developing into great in- Gustry It is just growing out of the primitive methods that have been hold ing it back and which still prevent farmers from realizing much more than half what they might. The results they achieve are due to the marvellous fer tility of the soil and the perfect climatic conditions, which, in spite of bad meth ods, neglect, and general ignorance, give hountiful harvests to men who would ut terly fail in the corn belt of the United States if they farmed as they do in Ar gentina; and these men cannot long con- tinue in this manner where they are.
 Every colonist wants at least 100 hec- tares, equal to PAT acres, and sometimes he succeeds in getting more. This is, however, the usual limit for family, unless there are several large boys. The rule on some large corn farms is that 25 squares or about 104 acres, shall be al- totted to every able-bodied working hand. Farming as they do, man can work that amount of land in corn until the gathering is upon him, when he must have help or suffer heavy losses. a
 Most of these "colonists," or renters, are from the north of Italy, and are very industrious and thrifty. They work and live under conditions that would not be endured by the poorest farm hand in our country. Yet they have here a chance that they could not have at home, and most of them become well off in a few years.
 The Italian renter builds mud house with a zinc rccf. all the materials being furnished by a patron" the owner of the land. Several hardwood posts are set in the ground and small boards nailed across the top. The sheets of zinc are then spread over the frame for a roof, with a slight pitei. Wire is tied from post to post and cornstalks are woven in. the wire holding them up. Mud is plastered on both sides of the stalks and soon dries. A hole is left for door, and perhaps, but not always, a smaller hole for window, and the house Is done.
 Planting of corn may begin as early as August 15, but generally not until three or four weeks later, and it may be as late as January 15, though generally it is not considered quite safe to plant later than December 20. On an 1S,OOO- acre place at San Jose de la Esquina some planting was done as late as Jan uary F last year and fair crop secured The early planted corn was ripe at the end of January, but harvesting was not commenced until the latter part of February.

Tom Jenkins Busy.

Tom Jenkins will be busy wrestler for the next few weeks if his manager keeps on making matches at the pres ent rate. Besides his contest with Hjalmar Lundin, which takes place February IT, at Prospect Hill, Pros pect avenue, Brooklyn, he will tackle Hansen, the Danish champion, in a mixed style match at Perth Amboy on the 18th, and on the 23d he will meet Emil Selva in a handicap match at Paterson.
 Jenkins is working faithfully for his match with Lundin, as he realizes that the Swede is one of the best Greco Roman wrestlers that he has ever tackled, and as the bout is mixed one he will have to meet Iundin at his own style of one of the falls.

Uppercut Did It.

New Bedford, Mass, Feb 16.--An up- percut in the eighth round last night in fierce battle between Willie Schu- maker of New York and Albert Del mont of Boston, knocked Schumaker out for the count.
 It was to have been a fifteen-round go, but so fierce was the fighting that eight rounds settled the contest.
 Both men were evenly matched. In the first two or three rounds the blows were exchanged evenly. In the fourth Belmont got in two effective swings. In the fifth q straight right arm punch, followed by two swings by Belmont, dazed Schumacher and in the eighth the uppercut put him out

WRESTLING.
SLAP AT
 JOHN KELLY.
Jackson of BrOcktOn Waxes Sarcastic as We'll as El- 0quent-His Case May be Attended to Later.

Should John D. Kelly be successful in his match with Billy Cnaki on Thursday night at City hall, he will be prepared to go after Charley Jackson, of Brockton, and ease that chap on some of his newspaper articles. Kel- ly is in great shape for his contest Thursday night, as are all the other contestants. Cnaki is coming up with plenty of the long green from Bridge port. OConnell and his friends are coming from New Haven with a big bunch to back him against Jack Roach. Young Pedigard, of the South End Athletic club, and Dan Pickett, of the Washington Hills, will have a big crowd of sympathizers ready to make all kinds of bets. The simons- vile Athletic club under whose aus pices the tournament is given, aught to make some money, because it is the best session of wrestling ever given in the city. s@.
 The Brockton Enterprise is respon- sible for the following slap at John E. Kelly:
 Charles Jackson called at the Enter prise office Saturday evening. He is hard at work training for his match with Charles Reinecke of Worcester, which takes place at A. O. H. hall Thursday evening of this week. Nego- tiations are now on between Jackson and Alex Swanson. Jackson is per fectly willing to wrestle Swanson at l5O pounds if the latter can get to that weight, Jackson says that if swanson does get down to weight the match must Ee for not less than $5O d side, and more 1r"eferred.
 As regards John F. Kelly of Water bury, Jackson says that he can tie the Untin hin again and have him on. the way home to Waterbury before Kelly Nali~ns that anything Eas happened F.c knows keily's style, having seen him wrestle mary times, and knows what he C:in do to' him.
 Rlt re doesn't feel like pulling him self down to 143 pounds in order to tccon2modits Kelly if he is going to wreStle Swanson at 15O soon. This is :.QCd logic. too and Jackson can't be blamed. In case the Swanson match drops through, or just as soon, as the heavy Reinecke and Swanson have been disposed of it will be Kellys turn, and Jackson will take off his sr1- perf1uous weight and meet the slippery John E. / Jackson says that this match must be for not. less than S1O0 a side, with five times that amount preferred.

 Chicago Nationals are going to give Clancy a chance on first base. If he is the same Clancy who grew chicken hearted in Philadelphia they will need to build their fences higher to keep him in the lot.
 The ball player who likes to make trouble on the field, should be pleased to learn that Tim Hurst has retired as an umpire. Tim sometimes conn., manded the respect of the. unruly player by giving him a punch on the jaw.
 Jake Beckley. who is regarded as one of the best first basemen in the country, and who has been holding down the initial bag for the Cincin- nati Reds for many se--sons, will play first base for the Philadelphia Ma tional league team during the coming season.
