BATTLING NELSON NOT TO RETIRE FROM RING
 FOR SOME YEARS YET

Chicago, Aug. 1s-Battling Nelson, former lightweight champion, arrived in the city Wednesday from the West and took the first train for Hegewisch, where funeral services for his mother, who was killed by train last week, were held yesterday. ,,
 Nelson has no definite plans. for the immediate future, but after resting with his family for two or three weeks will take on anything promising. He will not retire from the ring.
 This loss was a great blow to me-. said Nelson, "and I have been asked if I would quit fighting. I will not. It was through my ring earnings that I was able to make my mother com fortable in her later years Pugilism is my profession and will follow it as long as I can earn money in it.
 While my mother no doubt would have been glad if nad been in some other business, she always took an in- terest in my work and encouraged me She regarded the matter sinsibly, and since I chose fighting for a business she wanted me to succeed and not get licked"

KID M'C0Y IS
 NEW MAN AFTER SIX MONTHS WORK

Kid Mccoy may be regarded as a back number, but it cannot be denied that he is in rugged health and never looked better. For more than six months Mccoy has been training ac- cording to his own ideas. He has built himself up until he weighs 190 pounds stripped, nearly twenty pounds more than he carried when he boxed Corbett in the Garden eleven years ago. Me Coy shows remarkable strength and vitality at his quarters and seems to box with the old speed. As for con- fdence, he possesses a world of it and actually believes he can come back. He says that if he is not allowed to box in New York State he will go elsewhere to prove that he is still able to show winning form. Those who carefully study physical culture are puzzled by McCoys rejuvenation, but they do not believe that he can stand a hammering in the ring and retain his present strength any great length of time.

COULDN'T UNDERSTAND WHY SENATOR M'NEIL
 LIKED SuFFAGETTES

Be eaeeful to put the 'Jr.' after my name when you quote me-" said Senator Archibald McNeil Jr., to a reporter who was asking him some thing about semething'
 ''Lets of people don't realize how important that Jr.' is,' he continued, especially when there are two Arch iba1d McNeiFs' in the family and each is entitled to the prefix 'Sena- tor.'
 'sWhy, lots of people in the Legisla- ture had me mixed up with my father when the session began and couldn't get it through their heads that Sena ator McNeil was so young a man.
 "One of the prominent women in the suffragette movement came into the Senate chamber and inquired for me. When I was pointed out she came ever and gasped, Why is this sena- tor MeNeii9 expected to find man of about 60 I was wondering why en earth he was so interested in the suffrage movement, but now I see!

FIREMEN ENTERTAIN
Friends Who Worked for the Fair the Guests of the Members of
 the Truck Company.
Special to The Farmer.)

Fairfield, Aug. 1S-The compliment tary entertainment given by the fire men to their lady friends who worked so hard for the fair which ended last week was largely attended and the 200 people present enjoyed the even- ing thoroughly The young ladies and their escorts were feasted with the best the town could produce. The Coast Artillery band furnished danc- ing music and everything went off as merry as marriage bell. The ac- cessories of the fair will now be talk en away and the place restored to it's original appearance.
 The fremen say that the episode of the beer donated by liquor dealer was greatly exaggerated. There were only two cases and State Policeman Bridgeman made no effort to inter- cept it after he was told that it was a present to the hremen. The af- fair was magnified as it passed from mouth to mouth until the idea be- came prevalent that the f1remen were to have a beer fest instead of a re- ception. There was little drinking at the fair and absolutely no drunken ness. The small amount of amber li- quid used did not go far among the large attendance. The f1remen object to the idea that they are guzziers which might be inferred from some of the reports going about the town.
 The plate glass windows have been placed in the new Saum building on Unquowa road and the building will soon be completed.
 Frank Roraback, representing Moss & Krieger of Bridgeport was in town yesterday calling on old friends.
 Complaint was made yesterday to Sheriff H. R.

Loco Loses On
 Lundberg's Kick Manager Challenges Crane No. 2 For Post Season Series
 For Money
(By Ira Hau.)

It cost Manager Billy Lundberg Of the. Loco team just $1 because he lost his protest of the Loco-Birdsey-Some game of Aug. at the Industrial League meeting last evening. The league directors decided that the Loco manager was in wrong and declared his $1 which accompanied his protest, forfeited to the league treasury There is league rule which reads that in a. protest of game or player, $1 must accompany the filing. This is done to denote the good faith of the objec- tor, and also to discourage unneces- sary protesting. If protest Is won, the s1 is returned to the protestor if lost, the money reverts to the league.
 Lundberg protested the playing of Gustrorsk', who he claimed has played - lut to pTcv'Qus contests and un- aer the league rules was not eligible for the last three games. It was shown to the satisfaction of the league that Gustropski had played in two games and had been on the grounds ready to participate in third, but the opposing club did not show up.
 The Trophy committee, of which Manager Peter Colljung of the Crane No. team is chairman, reported that the committee had decided upon the
 
 Hartmann cup and Rowland Go. ban her to club winning first place; sec ond place, Mayor Buckingham cup; third place. Herald cup: outfielder ex- ceiling in batting and fielding, the George Godfrey shield; same record for infielder, flower vase from Bob Kinder; catcher excelling in hitting, military brushes from Bob Kinder; team enjoying highest batting average, Probate Judge Hallen's cup.
 Manager Lundberg of the Loco bunch is satisfied that his boys can trim the Crane No. crowd, pennant winners, and through the Farmer challenges the Crane crew. He says that he has funds from half a century to a. hun dred to wager. Crane No. 3 will fin ish in first position, afid the Locos probably will be the runners up. In their battles, the Cranes have won two and lost one.
