WOLGAST WILL BET He CAN
STOP PACKEY IN TEN ROUNDS

welterweight division and stop making
faces at the 1873 pound boys.
Wolgast and his manager. Cherokee
Tom Jones, called on me last night.
Jones did the talking. Said he: The
Chicago papers which I received today
are full of McFarland's talk about
meeting Wolgast. Nelson and Welsh. I
want to show this fellow up to the pub
lie by making him quit.
Mcfarland says that he is still a
lightweight. and hen in the same breath
he demands that he be allowed to
weigh in as a welter. Now to prove to
you that Packey is not in the light
weight division we make this PROPOSE
ton. Wolgast will bet $1,000 on the
side that he can knock out or stop Nc
Farland in or under ten rounds If
Packey will do 1913 pounds ringside.
IF Mcfarland is. as he continues to
claim, legitimate lightweight he will
jump at this offer. Have him post his
money in Chicago, and we viii put up
ours with you. We won't have much
trouble in finding a club to stage the
battle.
Now let Mcfarland accept this prop
osition or quit talking about being a
lightweight. The public Is sick of see
ing this big fellow trying to bully the
little boys into giving away weight to
him"

shifted from the leading division to sec
on1 place and the Georget brothers and
the Calvin Keegan team went from sec
ond place to third This left seven
teams on even terms for the first money
and honors.
Little Jackie Clarke started all the
trouble. The midget from the antipo-
des hit up a gait that threw the other
riders into fenzy. The stolid Dutch
man. Rutt. alternated with the Aus
tralian, and the way they shot around
the circle made their weakened rivals
pump away like a bunch of demons.
How much more advantage they would
have gained is unknown. Eddie Root
spoiled all their plans by getting into
a mixup with Hehir and Demara and
the sprint ended. Eddie Root saved the
day for his partner, Joe Fogler. Dur
ing the wild dash Fogler was unable
to stand the strain and Root hustled
onto the track and caught the leaders.
FogIer's trainers have decided to give
the oxygen treatment a good trial for
the next few days and have brought in
several tanks and placed them in the
camp at the trackside
In a fail at 1890 mcfarland broke
the middle finger of his right hand A
doctor fixed it up and the Californian
took the track again in his turn.

broke the fifty mile worlds circular

five years. He covered the half cent
ury in 47:1S. as against the old mark

no, Cal. in 1904.
Oldheld got inside the previous rec
ord at thirty miles and broke every
individual mark from thirty up to fifty.
Oldheld's drive was most spectacular as
the track was frozen in places and the
radiator of his car was filed with alco-
hol as the only preventive against
freezing.
At the finish Of the drive, Oldfeld's
hands had to be pulled loose from the
steering wheel by his assistant, having
been affected by the intense cold at so
high a speed.

Suckers and Feeders.

Many prospective feeders who feel
we'll assured that the corn crop will be
very large have shown a desire to buy
rather freely recently, and competition
is stronger than it was a few weeks
ago. There has been no quotable i'm
provement in prices lately because in
creased receipts have counteracted the
gain made in the demand. Indications
are that more cattle of the feeder class
will be wanted from now on, tho it is
not likely that buyers will want to pay
any higher prices. They claim there is
too much risk in the operation of feed
ing and the general impulse is to buy
low or not at all. At the present time
prices for feeders are higher than a
year ago. tho fat cattle are lower.
Traders think that larger receipts
would bring about some reduction in
prices and naturally create little bet
ter demand from the country. Some
extra choice feeders sold at s5@5.25.
with fair to good class at $450@4.75.
and good stockers at $3.75@4.25. A
good many common TO fair light grass
stockers for which the demand is weak
sold at $3.25@3.50.

UNION PRINTERS MEET.

Body Opens in st. Joe.

Fifty-Fifth Session of International
| Body Opens in St. Joe.
| st. Aoe, Mo-, Aug. 9.-The fifty fifth
convention of the International Typo
graphical Union convened today in the
Coliseum, st. Joseph's big convention
hall. Addresses of welcome We're made
by Mayor Clayton. and others, and a
response by President Lynch. of the
international Typographical Union, at
ter which the convention began con-
sideration of a large volume of bust
ness, ultimately adjourning until
Tuesday morning TO hear the report of
the credentials committee on contested
seats
The reports of President Lynch and
Secretary Treasurer Hays show great
progress made by the union during the
last year.
The International Typographical
Union is fifty-seven years old and with
the present gathering has held fifty
five conventions during its lifetime.
The International Typographical
Union has many features that are
unique with labor organizations, and
which stamp this union as one of the
most progressive in the labor field. The
pension policy. for instance. is distinc-
tive with the International Typograph-
ical Union. Under the pension law.
members who have reached the age OF
60 years and are unable to secure sus-
tanning employment at the trade are
paid 81 per week. The payment of PEN
sons has heretofore been considered
the function OF the government, but in
this instance the union evidently be-
lieves thai its veterans should be taken
care of independent of state or nation.
The payment OF pensions began with
the first of last August. and up to May
81. when the unions fiscal year closed.
s67.5S0 had been paid pensioners, while
the administration of the fundhad cost
only $4,000.
The union also conducts home at
Colorado Springs, and contributed dur
ing its fiscal year to this institution
ss651s.31 The actual expense of con-
Quoting the Union Printers Home was
s7259S94, and there was a balance in
the home fund of s32s9763. The re-
ceipts and expenditures OF the home
from its inception TO May 81, 1909, were
1857. So12a and sS35.46S66 The home
property at Colorado Springs is valued
al s1,000oGo.
