Chicago for that purpose. He had
heard, or read, that little grain was
actually handled on the big boards
of trade, that only small part of
the transactions on the boards of
trade of this country were in actual
grain. He had these ideas dispelied
mighty soon and effectually. for he
went on a tour with a grain man
who promised to show him the pro-
cess of grading and handling the
grain sold on American grain ex-
changes. What he saw, any man
would see who investigated any OF
the great primary grain markets.
He was whirled into a maze of
dusty, lofty elevators, he walked be-
side long rows of freight cars load
ed with grain, and he watched with
undisguised surprise and interest
the sitting that the grain was SUBJ
jected to as part of the board of
trade transactions, intricate work
done for the protection Of producers
and the buyers of crops. The bust
ling routine of inspection. sampling
and weighing, was fascinating to
him.
Sampllng Grain-Its Benefits.
Nearly all boards OF trade main
tain departments for the purpose OF
resampling the grain when request
ed. For instance, IL the owner of
a car should be dissatisfied and
thinks that the grain Is graded too
low. or II the purchaser thinks that
II is graded too high, either one OF
them can call npon the board OF
trade sampling department 10 OBJ
tain an official sample and pass up
one the grade OF the grain. The
official samplers mark the grain so
that no one else knows TO whom the
sample belongs. The committee OF
appeals of the board OF trade de-
cides upon the grade of the grain in
case the parties are still further
dissatisfied as to the state grading,
BY this means, the committee can
pass a fair, unprejudiced judgment
not knowing to whom belongs the
grain under discussion.
Better come and see how they
do It," suggested one of the private
samplers as he gathered his samples
together. He led the foreign inves-
tigator past the shouting brokers on
the "Aoor" to the sample tables.
Then they stepped into the elevator
and Il rose, and the voices In the
pit grew fainter and fainter, In
the sampling department OF the
board OF trade, among the thou
sands OF bags of grain, was the busy
chief sampler. The visiting man
saw various appliances for testing
the grain; an intricate machine for
determining the amount of mois-
ture in Il and various other appli-
ances for determining specifically
the grade OF the grain.
Endless miles OF grain cars, OF
bright colored grain. mammoth bins
and dnsty men; these are the fac
tors OF the grain exchange opera
tlons that few people consider or
even know about. These factors
brought the foreigner 10 the reali-

PRELIMINARY FOR
SATURDAY NIGHT

A good preliminary has been ar
ranged for the McFadden-R Reilly go next
Saturday night. Soldier Mccullough
will go eight rounds with Wahilani, the
champion welterweight of the Hawaiian
Islands. This should prove very
lively match and, while both men are
no dubs as far as science is concerned,
they are both hard hitters and there
win be slap bang work from the first
sound of the gong.

without a sparring partner if it had
not been for the kindly offices of Nigel

ONE RUN IN TWENTY
ONE INNING GAME

What do you know about this? Here
is the report of game that took place
in the bush covered wilds of Pennsylva.
MIA. 1t seems that there is a town there
called Shoyerstown and, wonderful to
relate, they actually have ball team
there. They went up against team
from a place called Lebanon, not the
one of biblical fame where the cedars
grow, merely a village where the coal
diggers live.
That game lasted twenty-One innings
and then one Mengert hit the ball over
centerfeId fence and the only run OF
the game was scored This same Men
CERT handed out three triples and three
doubles during. the game, he must have
had poor lot of runners to work for
him. if they could score only one run
off three triples. The official scorer
must have been all right for not
single error was recorded for either side
This report is taken from the Phila-
deIphia Press and, while We do not
doubt the veracitv nor capability Of
that papers reporters, we feel that
twentv-one inning game with no errors,
one run and three three-baggers by one
man must have been hummer.

PURDY AND KAAUA |CRlCKET TODAY
ROPlNG TODAY ALAMEDA VS.. He. C.

This is the day that will decide
whether Ikua Purdy and Archie Kaaua,
the champion steer ropers of the Is
lands, have been able to defeat the
champions from the great cow countries
surrounding Cheyenne.
The Frontiers Day Program at Chey-
enne has such large list of entries
that the contests and celebration will
last three days. 1t started last Thurs
day and is scheduled to be all over
and all winners named by tonight.
The only two items on the program
that the Hawaiians will take part in
are the steer roping and wolfroping
contests. Judging by the records these
two clever cowboys have made for
themselves here, it seems very likely
that they will return with the cham
pionship.
The conditions of these contests, TAX
en- from the official program are as
follows:
Steer Roping Contest for Champion
ship of the World.-Open. to the world.
Entrance fee $1,000. Purse 100000.
First. $4,000; second, $4,000; third,
$4,000; fourth, $4,000. One-half the
men to rope the first day, onehalf the
second day, the choice to be made by
drawing numbers, and the four men
making the best time on the first and
second days rope on the third day. The
average time made at both trials to
determine the winner. Steers to have
90 feet of ropers. Riders to rope, throw
and hog-tie the steer when time will
be taken. If steer is not roped, thrown
and tied within three minutes rider to

The grand old British game today
at Makiki. The Honolulu Cricket
Club has arranged to play game
with players from the s. s. Alameda,
and both sides state that they have
healthy aggregation to pick from.
The game does not start till 2:15,
and there will hardly be time to play
more than one inning apiece. Of
course, the right way to play this
match would be to do it on the install
ment play and finish up the second
inning the next time the steamer
comes into port.
There is, unfortunately, no specula-
ton in these ATTITUDES as to the state
of the pitch, for sad vandalism is a
necessity and the balls are bowled on
the unpliant surface of a mat.
A mat makes fast game, however,
and the teams should have little diff
Guilty in finishing one inning before
dark if the bowlers have not lost their
art since the desuetude into which the
game has fallen of late in Honolulu.
There will be the usual trimmings
that always go with cricket-tea and
falkland everybody who takes an in
terest in the game is cordially invited
to be there, especially the men from
the British bark Hollywood, who are
requested to steer straight course for
Makiki, huff up and show their weather
Plimsoll lines well clear of the water.
The Honolulu lineup will be r. A.
Jordan. J. r. Mclean, w. T. Brown,
S. Gait, P. J. Harwood, ]. Fl. Fiddes,
S. Lamb, R. J. Buchly, E. Melanphy,
j. C. McGill, j. Fl. Fisher.
1t is not decided yet who will bowl
for the local team, nor are the players
assigned to their positions on the field.
These matters viii be arranged before
the match starts.
The trick lies hidden in the hat,
coyly the maidens elude the striving
bowler, the stumps are up and the bats
are out, so come on, we British cricket
ers, and see the game. 1t ought to be
a good one, even though it be some
what of a resurrection.

MONSIEUR BRITT
PARLE BEAUCOUP

What do you think of this dispatch
from Paris? 1t shows that hope is re-
awakening in the heart OF James Ed,
ward Britt and that he is coming back
with challenge for Battling Nelson.
He is going to retire next year, so he
tells the Frenchmen, but he wants to
take that championship away from the
Dane. Willis Britt, as manager of the
champion and ex-manager and brother
of the California lightweight, will be
in nice state of mind when he gets
the news, and will not know which
way to jump. The story is as follows:
"PARIS, August 12.-James Edward
Britt of San Francisco was strolling
through the Louvre today, looking at
the masterpieces. He said: Next year
I shall quit the prize ring for good,
but in the meantime l shall try to take
the championship away from Battling
Nelson. | have found that in England
boxing is not on the same plane as in
America, and purses are economical, to
say the least.

BILLY DELANEY
ROASTS BURNS

The following article taken from the
San Francisco Bulletin is interesting
as voieing the opinions of that grand
old veteran Billy Delaney. Billy very
seldom gets off on the wrong foot, and
when he takes man up, that man
comes pretty near growing into a
champion.
When Al. Kaufman was training at
Arcadia for his fight with George
Gardiner. Billy was there and watched
the big lad very closely. 1t took AL.
eight rounds to do away with the su
perannuated George, and the fans
raised howl and said that he was
in the n. G.. class for taking SO long
to do an easy trick. But Billy thought
otherwise; he has taken Kaufman
under his wing and proclaims that he
has the coming heavyweight champion
in charge.
This is the article referred to:
Chilly Delaney, the popular fight
manager, dropped into the Bulletin of
fee today ON little friendly visit and
in discussing the heavyweight crop of
pugilists suggested that the various
promoters get together and hold an
elimination tournament, the winner of
the final bout to be presented with a
belt to be purchased by popular sub
scription. What does Tommy Burns
intend to do when he gets through
fighting all the dubs in Australia and
returns to America?' asked Delaney.
Do you think he IL fight any of the
tough nuts in this c0untryg 1t looks
to me as though he is trying to accu-
mulate enough easy money to retire as
champion without defending it against
any hard game. Whenever he is ehal-
lenged by any fighter who is consider
ed to be of championship timber he
sidesteps him by making all sorts Of
ridiculous demands. Now, [ believe
the American public is getting tired
of his nonsense, and in order TO de-
velop white heavyweight champion
to be .pitted against Jack Johnson for
the title a tournament could be ar
ranged in order to determine who is
the best man in the lot. Ketchel and
Thomas are two strong, husky young
heavyweights, and the winner of next
Tuesday night It's fight could be pitted
against the winner of the Flynn and
Al Kaufman bout in Los Angeles the
latter part of this month. If Kauf-
mann wins m willing to sign him up
with either Thomas or Ketchel. AS
Ketchel has challenged Tommy Burns,
he should have no objection to fighting
Kaufman Amy other likely heavies
now in the field could also be paired
off, and in this way the field could be
narrowed down to two men, who could
fight for the belt and the honor of be-
ing matched with Burns for the title,
if the latter has the Island, and the
winner of that bout could be sent
against Johnson.
"The suggestion made by Burns that
Ketchel should fight Philadelphia Jack
o 'Brien before thinking of issuing a
challenge to him was also commented
upon by Delaney. 'O'Brien is one
man that Kaufman wants to fight,
said Billy. He has an old grudge to
settle with the Quaker City boxer and
is just itching to wipe out that seven
teen-round defeat. al. will take on
O'Brien first, and if Burns is looking
for trouble will accommodate him
next. -

That is what is going to be spread

when only their own teams are left? 1t
