1t beats all how much sunshine
some people can extract from a
tomato. Witness the following item
from the North Adams Transcript
NJ. Ducharme has ripe tomatoes in
his garden on East Quincy street and,
sa far as heard FROM they are the
first TO ripen in this valley this
spring. Mr.. Ducharme is great
lover of garden, and in the care Of
one he is excelled by no amateurs
and few professionals
Almost the middle of July and only
one garden owner in North Adams
has ripe tomatoes. Bennington garden
ers who make any pretense of hay-
ing early crops have been enjoying
ripe tomatoes for the past two weeks.
The late Rufus B. Godfrey always
felt disgraced if he didn't have ripe
tomatoes before the Fourth of July.
North Adams is slow in tomatoes as
we'll as baseball

Legislatures are the objects of at
tack everywhere, it seems. The legis-
lature of New York, just about to re.
sign, gets the following blow from the
New York Sun:
THE truth is that the present legis-
lature has not yet passed single law
or performed one official act that half
dozen citizens OF this state will re-
call two weeks after that happy day
when it at last makes up its mind to
go home and be mercifully forgotten
How like a far off echo in Vermont
that soundsi 1t does not apply so
closely to the most recent session Of
the Vermont general assembly, but it
might have been applied by disguised
citizens to several previous gather
ings at Montpelier.-Barre Times
The public nowadays undoubtedly
demands more than can possibly be
accomplished. Educated by the
newspapers and magazines the public
has become insistent, and out of sorts
with the ponderous slowness Of legis-
lative bodies Poor old corrupt and
Iboss-ridden New York is behind
nearly all the other states in legisla-
tive progress. Disguised with the
stand-patism and trading OF the Re

Heaven knows that the Republican
gang in New York was bad enough

AID WOLGAST IS
STILL CHAMPION

San Francisco, May 29.-out fought,
out paced, out generated, everything
but out gained. frankie Burns of Oak
land. was forced to hoist the white
towel of surrender as the gong rang
for the beginning OF the seventeenth
round OF his fight with Ad Wolgast
lightweight champion, Saturday. Never
at any stage of the battle did Burns
have a chance TO win, but round after
round, with his face cut to ribbons
and blood streaming over his chest, his
opponent and the floor, he faced the
terrific volley Of blows from the cham
pion, and never backed up. His pecu-
liar crouching defense saved him from
the knockout punch, until in the last
minute of the fourteenth round he was
caught off his balance, and Wolgast
landed a straight swing to Burns sore
nose that staggered him.
He cllnched desperately until the
gong, and managed to last out the
round, although Wolgast's vicious right
and left hooks rocked his head again
and again. The champion gave him
no chance to recuperate. In the open
ing of the fifteenth round Wolgast
hipped a short hard left to the jaw.
AS Burns covered he hooked his left
to the body and followed with a right
and left swing to the face. Burns
stalled desperately, but his knees had
begun to wobble and It was plain that
the end was in sight. Burns stag
gered into a clinch as the sixteenth
round opened and hung on desperately
but the champion fought himself free
with snappy right and left jabs that
had all his weight behind them.
With blood streaming from his nose
his lips split. both eyes nearly closed,
and his ear ripped, Burns covered his
battered face with his forearms and
Keeling badly about the ring tried
vainly to clinch Wolgast landed at
will, but Burns crouch, assumed more
from habit than from intention, pro-
tected the vital spots. The gong rang
for the end of the round before the
champion could land the decisive blow.
AS Burns staggered to his corner the
arena rang with shouts to Referee
Walsh to stop the fight. Burns' sec
onds worked desperately over him, but
their task was hopeless.
At the call of time one of his seconds
tossed the towel into the ring and
Frank Burns championship aspira-
tions were dead. Wolgast never was
in distress His speed and strength
completely smothered the Oakland
boys offense, and he carried the fight
to the challenger throughout every
round.

Ruckies, new twirler for the d. B.

heavy sluggers of the Hendrum team
almost at his mercy, striking them out
almost at will and allowing only one
scratch hit. Had 1t not been for a
couple Of costly errors by his team
mates, the gophers would have suffered
a shut-out. Ruckles struck out twelve
men and fielded his position in big

Gjerdingen of the d. B. G. caught an

New York. May 2s.--with only one
day intervening before quartette Of
British cavalry officers VIII ride onto
the Meadowbrook Hunt clubs polo
grounds at Hampstead Plains, Long

OF the international trophy. the months
OF preparation for the greatest polo
match the world has ever seen are
practically complete.
The superlative is warranted for not
since the game began In Persia, 1000
years ago, have as many dollars and
people backed a contest OF this sort.
Notwithstanding that there has been
some criticism Of the prodigal expense
to which the American players have
gone TO provide the cream of polo
ponies from the world over, even the
English players are backed by a pop
ular subscription fund Of $4,000 in
addition to what heavy expenses the
individual players assume in coming
here to try to take away the cup.

STATE BASEBALL NEWS

In a hard-fought game jamestown
defeated Valley City in the first of a
two-game series by a score of to 2
on the Valley City grounds. Rhoades,
for the visitors, held abe locals to six
hits, while four were secured off Smith,
the former Red Wing star. The defeat
is ascribed largely to errors, nine be-
ing creited TO Valley City.
Several Of the Beach fans are ad-
verse to having the players on the
home team called salaried men. The
golden valley metropolis team is re-
puted to be made up of local talent,
and the fans of the booming western
city have resented the insinuations of
the Wibaux fans.
In a recent game between Mohall
and Lansford the Iansford team was
defeated by score of 10 to 6.
Two thousand baseball fans saw the
Valley City go down in defeat yester-

MEREDITH TEAM
TAKES TIE GAME
LOCAL DRUG HOUSE BOYS SEND
HOME THE cAssELToN BUNCH
WITH THE LITTLE END OF THE
scoRE-soME POOR FIELDING
ON PART OF BOTH TEAMS.

The Meredith baseball team hung up
another scalp yesterday when the To-
Gals clashed with the fast Casselton
team and batted out a victory by a
score of s to 2.
The locals cleaned up the game by
heavy hitting and punching the swats
at opportune times thirteen nice
hits were widowed out by the drug
house boys. Holt. the local catcher
leading the bunch with three while
Tufts Fiddler and Kossick each chalk
ed up a pair of hits.
Fiddler worked at his best and was
really the star of the game, sending
twelve men to the bench by the strike
out route and allowing but four meas
ly hits. Two walks and a wild pitch
were, however, marked against him,
although he fieIded his position well
and got two hits.
The locals were rather weak in the
field and had it not been for the four
errors made shutout might have
been rendered the visitors. The Cas-
selton bunch made three errors.
J. Mcintyre, who was on the receiv-
ing end of the Casselton team. played
good game and caught several of the
gate city boys who attempted to con-
fiscate the base ahead. He also Sc
cured one of the hits taken home by
the visitors
Shanks pitched fair ball and was
given support by his teammates that
was not a discredit to the Cassel-
ton team. In the seventh Shanks was
hit hard and the Fargo boys ran around
the bases like race horses. He was
not seen on the mound again and was
substituted by Void in the eighth, who
was more effective.
The Detroit nine will come to Fargo
tomorrow to cross bats with the Mere
dith nine on the local diamond.
