CROSS CANNOT SEE THE JOKE
Barely Gets Expenses for LOnGest
Fight In Career

Barely Gets Expenses for Longest
Fight In Career
NEW YORK. July 3.-The joke Of the
season is the purse that Leach Cross pulled
down after being knocked out by Hyland
in forty-one rounds in san Francisco. That
1870 isn't a joke to Leach; it's a tragedy.
Cross has taken in 1880 more than once
right at home in New York for six and
ten-round bouts. And here is the longest,
hardest, most disappointing fight he ever
had, ending in a cold knockout, and he
gets about enough to cover bare expenses.
1t isn't much better than in the old DAYS,
when champions met and fought TO a fin
ish with bare fists for a purse of S10C
or so.
But still Cross has no legitimate wall to
make. He was gambling. He took a
chance and lost. The thing Cross gambled
on wasn't the purse at Colma. 1t was a
far bigger thing he had IN view. He
thought he could beat Hyland. He staked
his future on hat chance. II he had beer
lucky enough to knock Ryland out he
would rave had a chance to fight Battline
Nelson. Even getting as near the light
weight throne as that would have put
Cross in the big money making class. And
even the bare chance Of beating Nelson
would be a prospect dazzling enough tc
any fighter. a champion Of the world car
stage IL and get at least a good living
as long as he cares to.
Cross hasn't lost a reputation. He didn't
have any too much after being defeated by
Tommy Murphy, Packey MacFarlapd and
Jem Driscoll. And the fact that he fought
for forty-one rounds makes him a Better

many months. Cross can come back t

puncher. but is lacking in generalship and
quickness Of thought. He Is as tall and
as heavy as johnson and is dead gone,
but that is about all. II Kaufman should
get a decision over Johnson he would
doubtless claim the heavyweight title, but
such an incident would not interfere With
the negroes fight with Ketohei In October.
II Ketchel should stop Johnson, sporting
men agree, Kaufman would be in line for
a fight with the Michigan Lion for the
rings highest honors and Ketchel would
be heavily backed to win.

Detroit owns It's Park.

DETROIT, Mich, July 3.-The local Amer
lean league base ball club now owns Ben
nett park, where all the home games are
played. The deal whereby the club secured
complete title to the property was put
through recently. Some time g the club
secured a half interest in the property
from Mrs. Elizabeth Burrell of New York,
for H2, 500, and the remainder was bought
the other day from John d. ". Abbott,

William S. Abbott for $4,000. making the

Coffroth. AS In Ketchefs case, johnson
does not want to take part In a bout OF
more than twenty rounds with Delaney's
man, because he believes that he can
stall and win on points in a battle Of that
kind. AS It took thirty-nine round for
Kaufman to make Jim Barry, a second
rater, stop, the opinion prevails on the
coast that the big Californian cannot make
an impression on johnson in twenty
rounds. Kaufman lacks Ketchel's az
gressiveness and speed. He is a hard

AMATEUR RULES ARE CHANGED
New Events 10 BE Added to the Cham
pionship List.

NEW YORK, July Sat the last meeting
Of the Amateur Athletic union of the
United States, steps were taken for impor-
tant changes in the rules governing cham
pionships of the Amateur Athletic union,
and the legislation committee was in
structed at that time to prepare new rules
providing for several new events, namely,
the hop, step and jump and throwing the
javelin. These ave been added to the
championship list, as has also the ten-mile
run. The ten-mile run has not been given
for several years past, but 1t is now made
one of the annual fixtures.
A definition has been provided for Junior
cross-country runners. This is something
that has been needed for some time, as 1t
seemed hardly fair in the past to allow a
man who would win in long-distance cham
pionship races and break records to start
in the Junior cross-country championships.
Other changes in the rules are that win

OF INTEREST TO SCHOOL DIRECTORS.
High Schools Affected by Change in MAX.
ing School Appropriations.

State Superintendent of public
instruction n. &. Schaeffer has
recently issued letter IN regard
to change in law relative to dis
bursement of the state school ap
preparation for the year begin
ming with June 1909. The letter
Is as follows:
"Out of the SAID amount here.
by appropriated (the fifteen mil
lions appropriated for the sup.
port of the public schools) there
shall be set apart the sum of one
hundred thousand dollars (SlOO,.
O00 to aid in paying the tuition
of pupils who attend high schools
outside of their own districts:
and the sum of four hundred and
fifty thousand dollars $45O,OOO)
tor the encouragement and sup.
port of township and borough
high schools, including joint high
schools maintained by two or
more townships, or by a borough
and one or more townships; but
no high school shall receive ap.
preparation as high school of the
first grade, unless it has at least
three teachers who devote their
entire time to high school work
during term of nine months:
and no high school shall receive
appropriation as high school of
the second grade, unless it has
two teachers who devote their en-.
tire time to high school work dur.
ing regular attendance of twelve
pupils dong high school work. "
The appropriation in aid of high
schools for the year ending June,
1909, will be distributed on the
old basis, but the appropriation
for the year beginning June 1909,
which will be distributed IN Sep
tember, 1910, will be subject to
the conditions named IN the fore.
going extract from the General
Appropriation Act. Instead of
establishing or maintaining high
schools with attendance of less
than twelve pupils, 1t will be wise
to send the pupils who have com
pleted the grammar school work,
to high schools in adjacent dis.
trlcts. Pupils who belong to the
seventh and eighth grades can
not be counted as pupils doing
high school work.

Crop Outlook is Good.

The general outlook all over
the State Is for far crops OF both
fruit and gram of all kinds this
summer. This Is the opinion OF
Deputy Secretary of Agriculture
A. l.. Martin, who has been in all
sections of the State during the
past month, and has noted condl.
tions carefully everywhere, with
a view to forming an approximate
estimate of the probable yield.
Apples have probably suffered
more, generally speaking, than
any other crop of fruit or grain.
The damage however, has been
only In spots. Damage to apples
was done principally by heavy
storms, when the trees were IN
full blossom. Blossoms were
swept from the trees IN wholesale
quantities. Damage of this char.
acter was noted 10 the western
part of the State more than else
where.
The apple crop in the produc
tive Cum berland Valley district
will be about the average one for
that locality and peaches, pears;
and plums in the same region will
yield well. The last three named
crops will be fair in all sections.
The excellent condition of the
fruit trees is ascribed to the I'M
proved scientific methods that
are being adopted by the hortl-
culturalists, especially the spray
ing for San Jose scale, the cod.
ling moth, and other pests, at the
proper time. Llme-sulphur wash
and miscible oils are being used
lntelllgently everywhere, and the
result Is very noticeable.
The wheat crop is an exception
ally good one; timothy, clover,
oats and corn are well on the way
to giving the farmer fair returns
while sugar corn is doing well.

Miss Patterson undertook it and
1t was corwnlng success. Over
100 stones were removed, about
