TAKING USELESS RISKS.
The Folly of Leaving Farm Maohip. cry and Tools by the
 Roadside.

Just why a farmer should be con. tent 10 take unnecessary risks in leav. ing farm tools and other implements by the roadside for passing teams to take fright al is one of the things that many people cannot understand. While it is true that a man figures into his holding every foot to the middle of the road. and controls the sides of the highways. ii is. also. a fact that if an implement is left by ihe roadside. and a passing team becomes frightened and runs away. the offending farmer is liable for damages. More than this. if the matter Is carried 10 a court of law. and the defendant is found to have been negligent, goodly retribution may be exacted
 During the summer months it is a great temptation for some farmers to leave implements used in neighboring fields by ihe roadside There is always some trouble. and the wonder is that there is not more trouble than there really is.
 If there is any one thing that a farmer should avoid. says the Prairie Farmer. it Is a damage suit. CT law suit of any kind. for that matter. An ounce of preventive is worth a pound of cure and in the end f is good deal less expensive.

BICYCLING
TAYLOR HAS ENOUGH.

"Majah" Taylor. the negro bicyciist, Is out of the game for all time. accord ing to his own statement His retire ment is not of the usual order. As will be recalled. he signed contract last spring with Beyer X Coquelle, the French promoters, to ride a specified number of races in Europe this season against any riders the Parisian man. agers saw fit to pit. When Taylor learned that Champion Kramer was also going abroad, there was a hitch at once. Taylor was taken i'll. pre- sented doctors certificate, and stayed at home. For this breach the French Cycling association had the negro sus- pended, and asked the National Cy- cling association to do the same. This was done last week. Now it appears that certain promoter is anxious to have Taylor's suspension removed. The French promoters say they are willing to withdraw the charges against the negro if he will send them check for S1,O00, which is about one fifth of the amount they claim they lost by Taylor's breach of contract. Taylor says he will not send the money and adds that he is through with b. cycle racing forever.

 Some of them are from men have never heard about. while others come from wresflers who never had any standing and who never will In order to he accommodating I thought that l wonlc notice them.

GUS RUHLIN
 THE VICTOR
He Put Out Jim Mccormick in the Eighteenth Round Al Neill Was Whipped Other News.

San Francisco, Cal, Aug 12.-About 2,oOO men last night saw Gus Ruhlin of Akron, O., knock out Jim McCor- mick in the eighteenth round of a poor contest. Mccormick was slow and did not show to advantage at any stage of the game.
 The bout all through consisted mainly of sparring and clinchins. Few effective blows were struck at any time. The honors were fairly even up to the fourteenth round. Af- ter that Mccormick was at the mercy of Ruhlin. Mccormick first went down for the count of eight. but on getting up was floored again with a left to the jaw and was counted out.
 Jim Jeffries was at the rlngside. coming up from Los Angeles especially to see the battle. Jimmy Britt was there. too, and so was Nolan. mana ger of Battling Nelson. who is out of town on hunting trip.
 John L. Sullivan, who was in the corner of his protege, Mccormick, got a round of cheers when he climbed into the ring. The old fellow declared that his man would certainly win and laughed at the fact that Ruhlin was a ? to favorite.
 Why. Jim will win sure" said Sul. livan. He is as quick as a cat on his feet. and as he is in better shape than he ever was before. cannot see where Ruhlin has a look fin for the big end of the purse Jim will weigh about 1a3 pounds. which is just the weight for him"
 "Ruhlin is confident he will beat McCorqick tonight" said Madden. and if condition goes for anything look for him to stop Mccormick be- fore the end of the fourth round"

ROSE FOR YALE.
Giant Shot Puttsr Has Another
 Change of Mind.

Ralph Rose, the giant shot-putter of the Chicago Athletic association, who has received so much criticism be- cause of his refusal to compete for the Olympic club of San Francisco, is said to have decided on a new alma mater. According to the report, Rose, who found life at Ann Arbor distasteful, will be found at Yale when college opens in September. This statement follows close on the heels Of Roses declaration that he would not attend college again, and is the result of a three days conference with two Yale men. During the long trip 10 Port land. Ore. from Chicago. these repre- sentatives of the eastern college were very attentive to the big athlete.
 Rose admitted that he was urged to attend Yale, and he felt fayorably dis posed toward taking such steps. If Rose should go to Yale he would count ten points for the blue in the hammer and shot events. Inasmuch as he has been away from Michigan for a year he will he eligible to compete in the eastern intercollegiate meet next year.

NATIONAL REGATTA,
Thfrty-third Annual Event of Ana.
 teur Oarsmen at Baltimore.

BALTIMORE, Aug. l2.-The thirty. third annual regatta of the National Association of Amateur Oarsmen, the first events of which were witnessed by from fifteen to twenty thousand people, has opened here.
 Owing to the scratching of West of the Undine Barge club of Philadelphia, Ten Eyck of the Wachusetts Boat club of Worcester and McGee of the To- ronto Rowing club there were no pre- liminary heats to the association senior single souls, and the senior pair pared shells became the first race of the day.
 The West Philadelphia Boat club crew fouling the Seawanhakas made a false start, and the former lost all chance of winning by getting off their course. The University Barge clubs boat was swamped shortly after the turn, and the Seawanhakas scored a rather easy victory over the Argonauts of Toronto by eight lengths
 In the intermediate single sculls, Craig of the Detroit Boat club and O'Neill of the Atalantas of New York in the first heat and Ten Eyck of the Wachusetts and Stokes of the Univer- sity Barge club of Philadelphia in the second heat qualified for the final.
 Decidedly the prettiest race of the day was the intermediate eight oared shell, the only entries being the Ariel Rowing club of this city and the Ar. gonauts of Toronto. The local crew had the best of 1t from the start and until the bend in the course was reached. when, it is claimed. the Cana. dians cut the course, taking the lead and winning by scant length. The Ariels protested the placing of their opponents first

Waterbury, Aug F, 1905.

NdtCl DW " aus A~' AoNc' Sporting Editor Democrat:
 Dear Sir: l will be at the Democrat office on Monday evening, August l4, between 7:30 and s o'clock, prepared to make a match with the Turk at 116 pounds and will be ready to post a forfeit to bind the same, if the Turk will bet at least $20 on the side. The only fear have had of the Turk is the one that he may not put up his money to wrestle me. He failed to post forfeit when 1 challenged him last May through the columns of your paper. I have personally challenged him, but he has failed to make good. However, if he means business this time let him come to the Democrat office prepared to post a forfeit for a match at 116 pounds and for little side bet. Yours respectfully,
