undertake to escape from the vessel
before dire results follow. Pordeen has
no fear of the outcome of this feat,
dangerous though it nay seem, as he
has successfully demonstrated his abil-
ity to escape from heavily locked prison
cells. ~locked-up milk cans, ETC., on a
number of occasions. To show his trep-
idity he has offered to be placed in a
mail bag furnished by the Newark
postoffice and locked by, what is sup
posed to be, an absolutely untamper-
able seal, and escape from it.
Another feature of the show will be
a battle royal between four hardy
"dusky mokes." While this amusing
contest is Away great, the inventive
mind of Chuck Connors will be brought
into play in carrying out a new stunt
that should make the bout livelier than
ever. Each of the contestants will be
blindfolded and what will result is
bound to be a battle royal of keen de-
scription.
The list of boxers who have already
volunteered to appear is so large that to
name them all would include the nam
ing of nearly every fighter If repute in
and around New York.
Today the boys will be pared off and
a complete program of the show Will
be published in tomorrow's paper.

JOE M'CINNITY HAS
MARTINS LETTER
OF RESIGNATION
Without Warning Tigers Sec
rotary Says He Wants to
Go to Buffalo.

sky came the announcement to-

r IKE a thunderbolt out of a clear
sky came the announcement to-
day that Thomas Martin had de-
cided to desert Joe McGinnity and the
Newark club, after all, in favor of the
Buffalo club and George Stallings, after
he had told Joe McGinnity that he
would surely be with the Tigers again
next year. Martin ser in his resigna-
ton, or what was practically his resig-
nation, to Joe McGinnity today in a
letter from New York. He stated in a
roundabout way that he had practically
decided to act as Stallings's secretary,
giving as his reason that he preferred
to be with his family in Buffalo as
much as possible. In a statement made
only a fortnight ago Martin denied
that he had even received an offer from
the Buffalo club
The announcement came in the nature
of a blow to the Iron Man, who had
been depending upon Martin for an
other year at least. Joe depended a
great deal on Martin, but he will UNI
doubtedly be able to get a man to fill
his shoes acceptably and possibly more
to his advantage than the Buffalo man.
J. Walter Dobbins, the local baseball
man, will be one of the candidates for
the position, but McGinnity has no
idea just as present whom he will get
for the job.
One thing is certain, however, and
that is that the stories about James
McGraw securing the position are false
and ~groundless. McGinnity says that
he would not take the brother of the
Giants manager for low or money.
McGinnity received the letter con-
tanning Martins resignation bearing a
New York date line with the first mail
this morning. That Joe was disap-
pointed n surprised disagreeably
could be told from his voice.
Martin has been with the Newark
club since 1908 with Stallings. He
stayed here when McGinnity bought
the club with Henry Clay Smith at his
back and served under the Iron Man"
for two years. When Stallings was
announced as the Buffalo manager last
fall 1t was predicted in the STAR that
Martin would go. but he denied it, and
McGinnity spoke in good faith when he
said that Martin had made no intima-
ton to him about leaving Newark.

r EW POWELL smothered Young
Otto in their ten-round bout at
the National Sporting Club in
New York last night. He jabbed Otto
at will, and at the end of the bout
round there never was a minute in
the milling hat Powell wasn't the
aggressor and hadn't a big lead.
In the opening rounds it looked as il
Otto might win by a Knockout. He
kept swinging his right haymaker,
which repeatedly connected with the
Californian's jaw. But Powell bored in
and soon had Young Otto cut and
bleeding n hanging on the ropes.
There was a small attendance of
members, evidently due to-the storm.
Morris Harris, of Philadelphia. went
against San Langford at the Armory
A. A, of Boston, last night and lasted
a round and a half.
The visitor seemed to be thoroughly
frightened, and Langford had to fol-
low him about the ring.
Harris was not knocked out, put was
on one knee, waiting patiently for
the referee to finish counting off the
ten seconds He a had enough, n
did not propose to take any more wal
lops from Langford.
Jack Goodman and Kid Burns, the
promising west side fighter, have fin
ally been matched to meet in a ten
round battle at the National Sporting
Club, New York, Friday evening. De-
cember Is.
Sam Langford will sail for England
either or January 3 or Z.
Johnny Mario, the sturdy light
weight, and Jack Dorman, of the
Bronx, were matched today by Jess
Mcmahon to meet for ten rounds at
the stag of the Olympic A. c., of Har-
lem, on Monday evening, December 10.
Lew Powell made such a good i'm
preston on the members of the Ma
tional Sporting Club by his fast fight
ing with Young Otto that Tom
O'Rourke will try to match him against
the winner of the Kid B~urns-Jack
Goodman battle. Powell and the victor
ought to furnish a rafting fast fight.

That Norman Anderson and Frank

able to hold on to the field.

300 Cars of WatermelOns.

Edgar |. Williams, formerly of this
city, located at Rush Springs, Okla
homa, passed through the city the
first -efthe week, en-rOute to his
home after a successful trip through
the northern states, in the interests
of the watermelon growers of his
locality. Mr.. Williams says that wa
termelons are making the farmers in
his section of the state from $50 to
500 per acre. This years crop is a
good one, and he expects to market
at least three hundred cars. The top
price per car this season was $500
The largest yield of that vicinity was
in 1903, when 322 cars were market
ed. Mr.. Williams reports the cotton
crop in fine shape and says that corn
will make sixty bushels to the acre.

Ozark Interstate Exposition.

Committees representing the Ozark
Interstate Exposition to be held at
Joplin October Sth to nth, arrived in
automobiles in this city Tuesday noon,
proceeded to interest the directors of
the Commercial Club in their project.
H. G. Cook, president of the Com

business men, which was held at the
parlors of the Fraternal Inn, and ex-
planatory talks were made by Mayor
Guy T. Humes, of Joplin, Leo Yount,
Secretary of the Exposition, and j. c.

bibit.
Counties are being urged to make
display of live stock of all kinds and
any and all kinds of products. Suita-
BILE buildings and space will be fur
nished each exhibitor at no expense
to himself, and the gentlemen at the
head of the project state that no entry
fee will be charged for exhibits; the
only expense to which an exhibitor
need will be transportation charges.
The Board of Directors of the Com
mercial Club were requested to act as
a committee to investigate the advan-
tges to be derived from making a
county exhibit, and were authorized
to appoint subcommittee through
out the county to take charge of the
various classes of exhibits.

Interstate Exposition consisted of the
following Joplin gentlemen; Mayor
Guy 7. Humes, Leo Yonnt, T. c.

agriculture. We invite them to do

agriculture. We invite them to do
this and assist in any way they can.
This will do them much good and
their actual experience on many
things will be of great benefit to the
teachers of the county. They cannot
do the teaching force greater SER
vice than in this way and not only
will they benefit the teachers, but we
are quite sure they will get some
thing worth while for themselves.
The teaching of agriculture is one Of
the newest in our course, but one of
the most important, especially to the
farmers and farmers children and no
one can help more on getting good
results than the farmer himself.
Miss Elsie Williams has been en-

The Summer School grades are
coming in, and we are pleased to say
that our teachers have done we'll and
the grades indicate that they were in
school for the purpose of becoming
better teachers. We cannot help but
believe the schools will be much bet
