Rochester, N. Y. The object of the
railway managers is similar to that of
the Minnesotans who are establishing
demonstration farms in twenty-five
places in this state. he railway COM
pany officials very wisely figure that
{ model farm demonstrating what can
be done in agriculture in Central New
York will be worth more than mere
pamphlets and arguments The farm
ers are to be shown just what is pos
sible under the conditions existing In
their own neighborhood.
The company proposes to make the
model farm a practical proposition
rather than a demonstration of the
theoretical methods of the scientific
agriculturists Practical farmers have
been employed to have charge. They
are men who have been successful in
agriculture, who know from experience
what Is essential to winning a profit
from the raising of ere. S. They are to
have the advice and assistance of ex-

culture so that their efforts will be a
practical application of up-to-date

Fight ON SQUARE,
NELSON'S ADVICE

Battling Nelson the ex-lightweight
champion of the world. is proud of the
fact that during his entire career in
the ring he has never been accused of
frame-up or anything of that kind,
and says he never was mixed UP in
anything wrong.
While doing some light training in
Milwaukee lately Nelson was discus
sing the fate of some boxers who have
been mixed up in fake fights, and
said:
ut is worth whole lot of money
to me to know that IL anyone puts
the question to me as to whether I
was ever in fake fight in my life,
can look him in the face ard say no.
There are few boxers, no doubt, who
have been offered the money that was
offered to me to lay down In a fight,
and then declined it.
1.-THE first time that this was tried
on me was when fought Aurelio Her
rera the Mexican champion, at Butte,
Mont. 1t was just at time when I
was coming to the front and had
made several good fights out west
A certain man in Butte, whom / will
not mention, came to me and offered
me $4,000 cash if would agree to lay
down to the Mexican. told the fell
low that he could not buy me for twice
that amount, but that as long as he
wanted to make some money to take
a chance and bet on me, as l felt GER
tain that / could beat the Mexican.
IT don't know whether the fellow
ever bet on me or not, but do know
that / did not get any Of the $4,000,
and I have never regretted having
turned the fellow down.
Following the fight with Herrera
went to San Francisco, and in three
fights, counting the one with Herrera,
cleaned up $11,40o. Now If I had taken
the $4,000 to lay down in Butte, the
chances are 1t would have become
known and | would have been dead
one FOR the rest of my life and looked
upon as a snake. Instead stuck to
the game and got more money out
west, although / had to fight for 1t,
and had the satisfaction of becoming
champion, finally amassing a fortune
of over 100000.
"At the battle with Joe Cans in
Goldfeld was approached by a west
ern man and offered $4,000 cash to
turn trick there. This was also

of the Bresnahan type had much to do
with the downfall of the giants last
season, and that weakness is again APP
parent.
But they won pennants in New York
before McGraw landed on the scene.
In 1888 James Mutrie managed a club
that beat them all out and came right
back with a repeater in 1889. Then in
the nineties the Baltimore team, under
Ned Hanlon, came to the front and 1t
was here that McGraw learned the
trick of winning pennants, and in 1904
he put 1t to use for the giants for the
first time and repeated in 1905. Since
then National league pennants have
come to the western clubs.
With pitchers like Wiltse and Math-
ewson, with chance that Marquard
will improve, that Crandall, Ames and
Raymond will be better than last sea
son, New York can be figured on to
make trouble this season, though the
chance for coping the rag, better than
those of any other eastern club, are
slim.

YALE men DISLIKE
CHANGE IN RULES

New York-April 26.--Several coach
es Of spring football practice at the
different colleges are not exceed Ugly
pleased with the new football rules,
according to reports from various
sources. Capt. DAILY of Yale was re-
Gently quoted with remark to the
effect that he hoped that the rules
committee knew what it was doing.
but that he could see no Improvement
in the game
Harry NJ. Wheaton, assistant field
coach of the 1909 Yale team, and head
coach of the United States Naval Acad-
envy team next fall has given his
opinion on the new rules Coach
Wheaton had two weeks work with a
large squad in Annapolis this spring.
He says that he does not see the adj
vantages in some of the new regula-
tons. The rule sorbidding diving
tackles has not been success in An
napolis. One of the halfbacks broke a
collar bone in an attempt to body
check runner before tackle under
the new rule could be made.
Here is PaIpabie Weakness.
Wheaton also finds faults in the sug-
gestion on which would cramp the de-
Tense in a narrower lateral zone. He
believes that the object of the sugges-
tton was to encourage end runs and
open play by making line bucks diff
f1cult against thickened line He has
found that bucks against the tackles
and guards were responsible for long
gains, These gains were aided by the
elimination Of the diving tackle.
In regard to the forward pass,
Wheaton has suggestion. He thinks
that If the rule were passed providing
that forward pass across tho line of
scrimmage, travelling more than ten
yards beyond the point where the ball
was put in play, he caught and han
died under the same rules which apply
to the fair catch Of kicked ball, trou
bles with the much discussed play
would come to an end.
A Point That's Well Taken.
He gives the following reasons for
his suggestion regarding the play: The
forward passes under such a rule would
be short Halfbacks and end would be
the players to recover them not far
back from this scrimmage line and a
few yards out from the tackles posi-
ton. Knowing that the pass mus. go
ten yards the defensive quarter back
and fullback could reply on their fair
catch rule and the defensive halfbacks
could back UP the line in their old
positions Most of the dangers OF the
forward pass have been support to
linesmen caused by the dropping back
of halfback on the watch for long
heave.
Coach Wheaton says that le rule
which prevents diving tackles is re-
sponsible for more accidents in spring
practice than have occurred before in
the history of the game. The on-side
kick and the four period game are also
disliked by Coach Wheaton.
