WHEAT PROSPECTS GOOD.
Smaller Acreage Than Usual But Con-
ditions Indicate Big Crop.

Arkansas City. March THE wheat
prospects in this part of the state at
present are excellent. Old wheat
raisers, who We're interviewed say
that the prospects are better by far,
than last year at this time The
wheat is growing nicely and has taken
root well. In speaking of the rain
today. they say the weaother could
not be better for the crop. This is
especially true if it turns off warm
after the rain is over. In case it
freezes it Will not be as good for the
crop. Every farmer is looking for
a big crop. providing the conditions
from this time until harvest are at
all favorable.
The acreage of wheat this year is
less than last Some estimate that
there has only been about so per cent
of the wheat sown for this crop as
compared with last. This condition
is said to prevail generally over the
southern part of Kansas and the
northern part of Oklahoma.

NfcALEER VIII sHIFT.
Browns VIII Show More Changes
Than Any Other Team.


Than ANY Other Team.
st. Louis, March There will be
more changes in the Browns than in
any other American league team this
year. Hedges and McAIeer, after the
poor showing of the team last year,
went forth into the highways and by
ways of the baseball world and gath
cred up every likely looking youngster
they could draft, beg, borrow, or buy.
The result is a big squad of material,
much of which looks promising. But
as to what it will develop into no man
knoweth. AIcAleer is in cheerful
mood over his good looking bunch,
and predicts a much better nine than
sported the historic brown trimmings
last season.
The men who are away on the
training trip in Texas are: Heidrick,
Hynes, Jones, Padden, Morgan, Mo-
ran. Peitz, Howell. O'Connor, Sudhoff,
Glade, Gleason, Sugden, Smith, Weav-
er, -Koehler, Frish, Rockenfield, 'Buch-
anan, Sti1lman, Van Zandt, Edmund
son. Starr, Stone, King, Clarke,
Matthews and Ragan.
Frisk, Buchanan, and Rockenfeld
are recruits from the west, who come
with great regulations as minor
league players. Rockenfield will con-
test with Padden for the second base
position. Buchanan was a pitcher at
Oakland last year, where he had
things much his own way.

FIGURES DOPE ON JOHN L
Billy Madden Tells How Sullivan Won
His Ring HOnOrs.

New York, March Numerous in
quiries have been received as to
whether John L. Sullivan was ever
champion of the world. This is how
Billy Madden figures it out:
MY opinion is that John L. Sui
livan was champion of the world.
I managed him in his palmy days
and can truthfully say that he was
always ready to meet all corners and
he changed from London prize ring
rules to Marquis of Queensberry rules
and then met defeat at the hands
of a younger and more adept expo
nent of the new style of boxing.
1.-The argument people use to prove
that Sullivan was not the worlds
champion is that he never met for
eigners. What's the matter with All
Greenfield, Jack Burke, Charles Mitch
ell, Tug Wilson and others?
Sullivan was champion OF the
world, because he won the Champion
ship from Paddy Ryan. Ryan won
it from Joe Goss; Joe Goss won it
from Tom Allen; Allen had it present.
ed to him by Jem Mace, who for
years previous had been looked upon
as king of fighters. Peter Jackson,
Frank Slavin, Jem Smith and others
were not in the front rank at that
time.
"Corbett won the championship
van Fitz took the title away from
Corbett and then came Jim Jeffries,
who is now the undisputed champion,
but still that does not take the honor
away from Sullivan of being the
worlds champion in the days before
the Queensberry fights were intro
duced into America

GRIFFITH HAS THE PITCHERS.
Manager of the Highlanders Plans

OndOIng Oh the BatIerS.
New York, March THE notice
able feature of the makeup of the
Highlanders for this season is the re-
markable pitching staff Manager Grif-
fifth has gathered to strike terror to
the hearts of the batters. First of all
there is Chesbro, king OF them all,
who, with his mysterious "spit" ball,
has even mighty Napoleon Lajoie at
his mercy. Besides there are Powell,
Clarkson, Orth, Whitley, Putnam,
Newton, Holyeross, Starkells, Hogg
and Manager Griffith himself.
Chesbro, Powell and Ortb, who
worked regularly last season, will be
REINFORCED by Newton and Putnam,
two good left handlers. If put does
not deliver the goods this year in the
most impressive fashion it will sur
prise many. Then there is Walter
Clarkson. in whose ability to make
good both Griffith and Chesbro have
so much faith. The group of young
pitchers who are to be tried out con-
sists of the following: Fred w. Met
calf, a local semi professional; Pearl
Holycross, James Whitley, Con
Starkells, and William Hogg. Trainer
Mike Martin will again accompany
the team on all it's trips.
