SPORTING NOTES.

Willie Hoppe of New York recently
proved his right to the title of the
worlds champion at 10 inch balk line,
one shot in. The young lad was chal-
lenged by the veteran Jake Schaefer
of Chicago, and won at the Madison
Square garden concert hall. Hoppe
beat Schaefer by a score of 500 to 472
in At innings.
Kid Parker and Barney Mullin
fought one of the toughest bouts ever
seen in British Columbia at Phoenix
Friday evening, the referee declaring
it draw after seven rounds. Mullin
floored Parker half a dozen times dur
ing the night, but could not put the
tough Denver veteran out. Parker
finally dragged Mullin to the floor and
the spectators broke into the ring to
settle the fight by popular discussion.
Then it was discovered that Parker
was peculiarly injured and the referee
gave the decision as a draw.
]. E. Mason of Latah, Wash, has
received communications from parties
in New Zealand stating they would
accept his proposition for the pur-
chase of Cyclone" his Kentucky sad
der which he had made them some
time ago. The horse created lots of
comment at the Spokane fair.
George Sutton of Chicago is now
the acknowledged worlds champion
at 1872 balk line billiards.
According to Tom O'Rourke, who
has been watching the prize fighting
game out west pretty closely, Nevada
refuses to be counted out and another
place suitable for ring has been dis
covered.
Los Angeles fight promoters have
hopes of striking pay dirt in Search
light, one of the boom towns in the
desert state. 1t is proposed to bring
Jack O'Brien and Tommy Burns to-
gether there some time in December.
or if this falls through, Jos Cans and
Jimmy Britt.
They are already talking of purses
of $4,000 to 100000, and this should
make Goldfields and Manhattan sit up
and take notice.
Sir Thomas Upton will build a 81
foot racing yacht and enter the annual
race of the Columbia Yacht club next
year for the trophy given by himself.
Joe Cans says he is willing to fight
Nelson again under terms much more
liberal than he gave him. He will
insist on only two conditions, and
they are that the weight be 1873 pounds
stripped at o'clock and that Cans
receive the larger end of the purse.

All the Packing Plants Of the United
States Said to Be for Combine
Financed by English Capitalists
Sir Thomas Thinks 1t Would Be a
Good Thing.

Chicago, Oct 23.-Sir Thomas Lip
ton says he knows nothing of the re-
ported merger of all the packing
plants in the United States. However,
he thinks they ought to be merged
and is sure it could be done without
violating the antitrust laws. Sir
Thomas has been mentioned as hav-
ing come to America to take hand
in the consolidation.
81 am sorry that l know of no such
PLAN" he said, "but it ought to be
true. A merger of the packing houses
would have advantages of economy
and efficiency which everybody, and
especially the consumer, would be
benefited by.
ut would take a lot of money to
handle it, but it would be a good in
vestment. Some day it may be an &C
c0mplished fact.
ut could be done without violating
any laws. If organized in England as
a limited company, with some of the
stocks or securities watered or in
fiated, there is no reason why there
should be a clash with any law or any
government"
State Department Not Alarmed.
The agricultural department Of
flcials are very much interested in
the report, from Chicago that the big
packing houses are contemplating a
gigantic company to be financed by
English capital. They do not look for
the carrying out of any such project.
For years the packing companies
have been straining every effort to
create the impression that they are
acting independently of each other.
Officials at Washington declare that
Notwithstanding the vigorous beef in
spection measures now being en-
forced the packing houses are being
operated with big profit. They can
not see wherein there can be any adj
vantage gained by a foreign holding
company and they can see wherein
there would be many a serious disad-
vantage to the packers as the out
come of such deal, for foreign cor
porations would be absolutely at the
mercy Of the respective states.

Water Need.d nv Cnrn.

Much interest has lately been mani
tested in determining the exact amount
Of water required for the growth Of
plants. This is just as important in
the east as in the irrigated region, for
we often have droughts which made
necessary the most careful cultivation
to prevent plants from suffering. Pro-
lessor Clothier has found that after
corn becomes two feet high each stalk
uses up three pounds Of water a day
until the ears mature. This Is equiva-
lent to an inch of rain a week. In
regions where the average rainfall is
lower, and where a good, milky quality
Of sweet corn Is desired in the garden
during August and September, it is OBJ
viously necessary to have the soil In
the most perfect state Of cultivation SO
as to retain as much moisture as Is
needed.

"The Sion Of the Cross.

The Wilson Barrett spectacular re-

Sign of the Cross" which will be seen
at the Spokane Thursday and Friday,
Oct 1926, is one of the remarkable
plays of the age and one which for the
past seven years has been most sue

Barrett's work deals with the early
years of the Christian religion, when
the faithful Christians were being per-
secuted even unto death in the Ro-
man arena under the terrible rule of
Nero.

,Fatteninw stock.

Weight is the main object Of the
farmer in fattening stock for market,
and this weight is easiest obtained by
feeding corn in order to produce fat.
Farmers have long been taught by ex-
perience that fat is desirable quality,
and that it adds to the attractiveness
Of a carcass on the stall. 1t has been
demonstrated at the experiment sta
lions, however, that the weight can be
secured at less cost, with a greater pro-
portion of lean interspersed with the
fat, by feeding a heterogeneous ration,
which means that, in addition to a lib
eral supply Of corn, an animal should
receive a variety Of food that is not so
rich in oil, starch and sugar as is corn.
This fact is worthy Of consideration.

Heavy Horsea.

The weight Of horse is an import
ant item in estimating his value for
draft purposes, for the fine-boned horse,
with well-developed muscles, may do as
much work as the heavy-boned one for
a short time, and is even better for road
purpose. But in blowing, or other
heavy, steady drawing, the light horse
is less useful. Then. in price, the
weight is an important item. If a good
horse weighs over 2,O0O'pounds he may
possibly sell for as much as 81 per
pound, and from 1900 to 1000 pounds.
for less, the price rapidly declining,

from 10 to 80 cents per pound. though
