CALUMET man MAY DRIVE
SAYACt'S GREAT HORSES

Joseph Bernard of Calumet is con-
sidering an offer from NJ. w. Savage
of Minneapolis, owner of some of the
fastest trotting and pacing horses in
the entire country, to enter his corps
OF drivers and TO handle some of the
animals in the races i'm which they
appear next summer. Mr.. Bernard
has gone To Minneapolis where he will
confer with Mr.. Savage and If salts
factory terms can be arranged, nego-
tiations will be closed.
most expert drivers in the northwest.
He has participated in hundreds of
race meetings during the past few
years and has experienced remarkable
success. Mr. Bernard was one of the
leading members of the Calumet club
when racing was at it's height of its
popularity here and since then he has
managed and driven a number of
horses on the short ship circuit The
fact that Mr. Savage's attention has
been attracted is In itself a recogni-
ton of Mr. Bernard's ability with the
reins. 1t is considered altogether
likely that he will be handling some of
the prize winners in the Savage stable
next season.

.SWfDES INACCURATE NEW
RULE FOR OLYMPIC GAMES

New York. oct. 26.-As the condi-
tions now stand il is understood that
the Swcdcs are going TO inauguratC
the ambidextrous rule at the next
Olympic games. That is in such field
events as the discus. javelin, shot ana
hammer the competitors will have to
throw with the right and left hands.
the throw with each to be added the
distance achieved 10 be the athletes
performance. This may be all right
for the Swedes, but what purpose IL
serves 10 be ambidextrous at putting
the short or other weight event is hard
TO understand.
Since Milo eof Croton showed his
great prowess at pitching the discus
at Athens and Pdlydamus of Thessalia
exhibited his wonderful accuracy at
aiming the javelin men threw things
with one hand, and it is their one sin
gle effort that has been recorded
Every man has a master hand the
same as he possesses master eye
In athletic exercises, where the hand
is mostly used the performer at all
times makes use Of the better Of the
two. Some men use the left hand
but the majority use the right. but
the man is always sure TO bring into
play the one with which he has the
more power, and IL is n fact worth
remembering that men all over tn,
world today who specialize in field
events have TO develop one hand or one
leg and keep continually practicinl
with that one to maintain their place.
in the front rank OF athletics.
That some athletes are endowed
with a master leg, or one leg which il
better than the other. is certain, anC
! it does not follow that a right-h ande,
man always finds his right leg IN,
strongest. one notable case WORT
mentioning is the holder Of the worlds
broad jumping record at "a feet 11%
| inches. He is a right handed man
yet he always took off with the lef
leg.
| If this ambidextrous rule is allowed
TO prevail at Stockholm it may caus
lots of confusion to the Americans, tin
English and other nations that ar
old i'm the practice of track and fiel'
sports. OF course there is a long tim
FOR men TO get acquainted with Thu
new wrinkle, and maybe the Englisl
and other nations, that will have
word TO say about the final makeup O
the programme may have this rule ex
plunged. If il is not then the worl
may as wen begin TO accustom itsel
to the conditions.

BASEBALL Stars
OWN FINE FARMS
MANY OF DIAMONDS BEST PLAY
ERS WERE RAISED ON FARMS
AND STILL FOLLW THAT
VOCATION.

New York, oct. 26.-One Of the most
interesting things connected with
baseball is the players life after he
has practically passed into Oblivion,
for a time at least, after the close OF
each season. There was time when
professional baseball did not enjoy the
elevated plane as a profession tina. it
now does. when the mapority of the
players did little but loaf during the
off season.
That period has passed, and such
players are decidedly in the minority
today. The great majority of them
have some profession other than
chasing the horsehide. which claims
their attention when the bat, ball and
glove have been relegated to the shelf.
These professions are many and
varied. Practically every walk of
business nfe is represented in the ma
tional pastime. Some are lawyers and
not a few doctors of medicine, dem
tistry and surgery. Others are estab-
lished i'm business of their own. And
there are some VINO are political lead
ers, but there is no profession. which
claims more followers than farming
Many Buy Farms.
1t is surprising to ascertain how
many of the big league ball players
have purchased farms, ranging from
small ones of a few acres to vast
stretches Of land where il is necessary
for them TO employ several farm
hands. Aand another and deeper din
into their private lives reveals that a
good many of them were born and
reared amid burrows, blowing ma
chimes and general wholesomeness.
The natural thing to do is to won
der why such should be the case, and
the only logical answer that can be
forwarded is the fact that the farmer
boy has considerably moro room TO
practice baseball than the city-bred
! chap. 1t is true that the farmer does
not have great deal of time, but 1t is
light until late i'm the evening during
the summer. and after he has finished
his work there is nothing to prevent
him from playing baseball.
Some Notable Examples.
And strange TO say the majority Of
those farmer players are among the
best ball tossers in the business Larry
Lajoie has farm just outside Glove
land. Tyrus Cobb has farm in Geor-
gia. Russell Ford has a big wheat farm
in Manitoba. Mig Clarke, the Cleveland
catcher, is a farmer during the OFF
season.
Billy sullivan and Filder Jones.
both former managers OF the Chicago
Whitcsox, have an apple orchard to-
gcther in Oregon Walter Johnson has
fertile stretch in Idoha. Street is an
| Alabama exponent of the hoe.
Manager Frank Chance Of the Cubs
can practically be called farmer. He
has a big orange grove in California.
So has Orville overall, the Cub pitch
er. Clarke Griffith has a ranch in
Montana. Tommie Leach of the Pr
rates is a chicken farmer. Lou Criser
and Frank Laporte have farms in
Ohio.
George T. Stallings. former manager
of the Yankees, has a stock farm and
cotton plantation in Haddocks Ca.
Fred Clarke, manager of Pittsburg,
has grain farm In Kansas
These are just a few Of the more
prominent players who arc engaged In
| farming

MUCH TO BE ENCOURAGED ABOUT
Good Prospects and Feeling Of Security
AmonR Growers

Up to last Thursday night there had
, been no frost sufficient to Ictard growth
and maturity in the field of late tobac-
&C, and until about that date the last
of the crops were not finally housed.
Ideal weather for field and shed curing
has been with US through September
and thus far in October. There is a
feeling Of security among growers that
they are to have the finest crop with
more ample prices than for some years.
The shortness of acreage is to be re-
GREETED. Concerning conditions else
where we CLEAN from the Edgerton To-
bacco Reporter this much:
There seems to be a desire on the
part of some dealers to put sample lots
of the new crop over the sorting tables
and determine what percentage of
available binder leaf it will yield before
increasing their holdings. They belieye
they would be aCle to buy more lntelll-
gently if they only knew how much
worm and grasshOpper eaten leaf must
be thrown out in warehouse handling 10
bring the grades up TO standard. Fore
armed with this information, they
could then be able to better tell what
they could afford to pay for the running
lots as it hangs upon the poles or in
bundle.
1.-The holding off Of killing frosts I'M
til into the third week Of October, has
given growers ample opportunity to-
harvest the very latest Of their tobac-
co fields this season, which is such a
rare occurrence as to deserve mention.
Ordinarily the 10Th of September is as
late in this state when tobacco can be
safely left standing in the fields. Such
splendid casing weather Of late too
gives hope that even the late cutting
may have chance to cure down and es-
cape the danger from the first hard
freeze that enters the sheds.
1.-The buying movement in the new
crop bears evidence of tagging some
what. There is some riding in the
growing districts and contracts closed
for both the better crops and for low
grades around prices before quoted for
these goods, but no great activity is
developing. There is more life, how
eyer, in the search of old leaf remain
ing in growers hands, which, in the
aggregate, is moving quite large guam
titles.
1.-The weather up to the present writ
ing has been decidedly favorable to the
curing of the shielded crop, but the
prospects point 10 cooler weather ana
season of rains.

At the Opera house, last Saturday
night, the republican campaign was
opened in this county by a speech from
our congressman, Hon. A. w. Kopp.
The address was thoughtful and en-
PERTAINING exposition of issues and was
listened to with the most careful atten-
ton by the audience, and we are sure
was voted a candid and earnest presen-
tation of issues and facts on which our
party asks success nationally, state and
local. Mr.. Kopp spoke for nearly an
hour and half, treating fairly every
subject taken up. He said that be-
cause of contention among republicans
in the late session of congress the par
ty was no less devotee to the system
of protection to American industries
and institutions and earnest in behalf
of the laboring classes. He presented
a phase of the tariff system not before
touched upon by campaign speakers
when he declared that Japan is most to
be feared of all competing nations with
our country, hecsuse they are cushing
to the fore as a manufacturing people
as are no other foreigners. They are,
he said, adopts at anything they under
take; that labor in Japan is 80 cents per
day for men and "a cents for women,
twelve-hOur day, while our woIImen
receive in the leading industries of the
United States from $500 to $500, for
men and about $l.00 for women, an
eight-hour day. How then, he asked,
can Americans exist against such COM
petition? MIR. Kopp declared that the
differences as to tariffs among repub-
licans of this country is mainly as to
correct and logical percentages; that
only reasonable and protective duty
shall be laid.
The speaker said that momentous
questions must be solved by the incom-
ing congress, such as the oleomarga-
rine law, which the southern members
will move heaven and earth to repeal.
He said that this law to protect dairy
men and farmers against bogus butter
would be one of the leading fights, and
big effort will oe made to change the
pension laws. Because of these and
rurl arn. 'sSEhl.g ssls olss-aas I1ssietels he
urged that it was incumbent upon all
party men to support the straight tick
ct from top to bottom.
! Mr.. Kopp gave a review Of his stew
ardship as representative from the
Third district during his first term and
declared that he had endeavored to be
conscientious in his work and votes and
only on that score could he hope to be
returned by the people at the approach
ing election.
Congressman Kopp arrived in the
city over the Southeastern after hold
ing meetings during the day in con-
junction with Lawrence Grimsrud, can
didate for member of assembly, at
Chaseburg, Coon Valley and Westby,
where they were greeted by good audi
ences. From here Mr.. Kopp went to
Juneau county. He is scheduled for at
least three addresses every day till No
vember 9Th.
The congressman declares that there
appears to be united sentiment for
the whole ticket wherever he has been
