II WILL oHiy pe IeW udyS more now until We will know who is the greatest fighteS in the world Jim Jenries and Jack Johnson will step lnto the arena on July 4--providing, ot course, the churches do not manage to prevent it-and there will be a bat tie for which thousands are going to travel many miles to see.
 They have selected Tex Rickard as referee. One thing that may be said ln "Tex's" favor is that he has the requisite nerve to be the third man in the ring with the great white and black giadiators. That referee job is going to be some work. Tex is going to have his hands full from the tap of the first bell. Lots of people thought when he was first selected that 1t was only temporary arrangement and the fighters would get together and pick an experienced man. But Tex" declared he intended to serve and both scrappers said he would suit them.
 Rfckard first came into prominence in the pug world when he pulled off NAO III bduS-ANtlSOu DdttlS. I16 udS seen lots of big fights and knows the game fairly we'll. Of course he is not a Siler, Charlie White or an Eddie Smith, but he always has his wits about him and he should be able to make the big fellows behave. It is fact that the big men are usually cas- fer to control in the ring than the lit fla fellows of al ssFEnyp have such a time of it as some ex- pect.
 When the baseball fans get together and talk about old times it is seldom that somebody does not bring in the name of Amos Rusie, once the star of the New York Giants like Christy Mathewson is now. Ward Jackson. one of Cleveland's veteran bugs" told this one:
 "Rusie, like many another star. didn't twinkle any too brightly when he first appeared in the baseball sky. He had been loaned or 'farmed' out to the Burlington Qa.) team for the final series of games in the old Interstate league between the Burlington and Davenport hines. The Davenport teams star battery of that year was Rhines and Harrington, afterward with Cincinnati.
 Well, anyway, Rusie did his best to earn his money Manager Chamber lain of Burlington had paid for his services, and after losing one game 2 to 1 and winning another 1 to 0 came back to Indianapolis on this day l am talking about.
 Well, when it came time for prac- tise-we were playing Louisville that day-there was nobody to warm up Rusie. Dick Buckley was engaged with the other pitchers. Big Amos wandered about the park disconsolate- ly, occasionally hurling the ball against the fence or grand stand and retrieving it himself.
 Finally Rusie walked over to the stand and, looking up to the first row of seats. shouted: Come down here. Pop. I want to warm up.'
 "A big, red-whiskered man got up from his seat, took of his coat, hung 1t on the back of his chair and, jump ing over the rail into the diamond,

said: All right Amos, my boy. Let 'em come in fast
 Then Amos's father, his whiskers streaming in the wind, pulled on tielders glove and, scorning mask and pad, stood back there by the stand and warmed up his son; warmed up the mighty Rusie who, within a year or two. was destined to become one of the most remarkable pitchers in all the history of the game.
 Amos didn't spare his father. He fed him outcurves and inshoots, high balls and low balls, fast ones and teasers. not even forgetting the jump ball that was destined to make him famous
 And you should have seen the old man. He never side-stepped a thing. Shoot 'em in, me boy he would say. Put something on 'em, Amos You're working fine today That's the way; straight across and fast
 Well, sir, it was a wonderful sight, that middle-aged man in street clothes and with his flowing whiskers of fiery red, standing out there on that blis- tered field, ignoring the taunts and jeers of the crowd, warming up his beloved boy, Amos. who, even then, was giant and hurricane pitcher.
 When the time for the game began Rusie's father climbed back over the rail. Amos went into the box, with Buckley behind the bat and Louisville was beaten 3 to o. When the last one of the visitors had been retired Rusie's father jumped back into the field, took Amos by the arm and walked with him to the dressing room. It was sentimental spectacle, the solicitude of the great pitchers father for his boy and his pride in the young Hercules work
 Poor Amos! Had he only stuck by his good old father and ignored the al legged friends who got him to travelling in the broad road that leads to early retirement, not to say disgrace, he might be in the major league today as famous and as popular as is old Cy Young; earning $S,000 or S10,00O year instead of digging ditches, as he is. for S1.75 a day"

Poison is often put out on grain
at this time of the year to kill the
striped ground 81 uirrel that SO per.
sistently takes up field seeds after
they are planted. This poisoned
grain is too frequently strewn pro.
miscuously around the fields with

upon the birds, quail, doves. .plovers
etc, which are found dead after
poison has been put out. While it
