CARTER COUNTY
At THE FAIR
EXCELS IN VARIETY OF CROPS
nAFFlR CORN is FEATURED BY
EVERY COUNTY.

The first booth to the left of the
entrance Of the agricultural build %
ing at the State Fair is occupied by
Garter countys display of agricultural
products Felix X. West of this city
presiGes over the booth and is busy
morning, noon and night taking Vi
the great possibilities of this section
of the state There is not a better
exhibit in the building ;han Carter
county has there is not greater
variety of products owned by any
county, and Mr.. West has an oppor-
tunity to capture the first prize. No
Bile county, which won the 5000 and
the silver loving cup year ago, has
a beautiful display this year. That
county spent more time and energy
on the decoration than any other
county but its products are not bet
ter than those from Garter county
and possibly not so good.
The one feature of almost every
exhibit is kaffir corn. Some counties
made canopies of kaffir, others had
the name OF the county spelled with
kafir corn heads, some had ladders
built of it which were called ladders
of certain prosperity in Oklahoma.
This latter display was especially no
ticeable IN the displays of the western
counties. In the Individual exhibits
there We're vast numbers of ffaffir and
milo and it is said that no other state
OF the union produces this product in
such luxuriance.
Any visitor to the fair would be
attracted by the display of apples.
The fruit was of uniform size, of per-
feet coloring and existed in abund-
ance.
The exhibits demonstrate that Ok
lahoma is a great agricultural state,
that its soil will produce well and
will grow great variety of crops, ii
demonstrates that any farmer can
become wealthy in Oklahoma with
crop diversification and proper meth
DDS of cultivation. The soil is new
and rich, the lands are cheap and
prosperity abounds On the farm.
The Carter county display is all th -
could BIT desired. In variety and
richness Of the fruit display it ex
GELS every other county. In corn and
cotton and the hay crops it is the
equal of any other. It's potatoes are
the finest in the agricultural build
ing. In the forage crops outside of
corn the different county exhibits are
much of a sameness for the reason
that they are all good.
Along with the feeling of pride over
the products of the state the men who
are with those exhibits are to be ad-
mired for heir zeal for their own
portions of the state. Felix West from
Carter county stands guard hour af-
ter hour, he is well informed on crop
production, he knows every inch OF
his own country, he has statistics ana |
prices of lands at his tongues end |
and he is doing a vast work for this |
section of the state. Other men are
here who are devoted to their coun-
les and noticeable among them is
3eckham county's representative and
tlso the men from Pontotoc, Johnston
Ind Noble countise.

from 81 acres of potatoes harvested
SOIL barrels, an average of more than
1876 barrels an acre. Bird H. Kimball
from 115 acres secured $500 barrels,
an average of hardly SO barrels. In
stead of being above the average, the
Aroostook yield per acre last year
is said by many to have been a
little below. Mr.. Kimball, who is
authority on potatoes, says he lost
much by falling to spray early

and in yield they went far ahead of
those sprayed later. In Mr.. Kimball's
opinion the safe way to do Is to
begin spraying early and spray right
along until late.

FOUR LEAGUES WILL PLAY
 ON OUR LOCAL DIAMONDS
Industrial, Factory, City and |nter-City
 Organizations Start Next Month

the fore. Billy got in wrong with some of the Industrial league man. agers last season-managers always have differences, and petty grievan- ces tend to outbreaks-but their tri- fling quarrels have been smoothed ov- CT and everything now tends towards | tranquility. At least that's the way it appears on the surface. Lundberg just admits that his team will be stronger. Last season the Locos looked to be the strongest outfit among the Industrials, but there were several dissenting members whose ac- tions put the rollers on real play. The other managers have been lay ing their plans on the q. t. and will. as they have in the past, be there when the first ball is thrown over. It's an old story that it's not always the strongest looking band playing the prelim stuff which pulls out at the top in September.
 As the slate now stands the Indus trials will have the two Cranes, (Main street and West End plants), War ners, Locos, Birdsey-Somers, and Hub bells. With the Factory leaguers the following hold franchises, Yosts, Bull lards, Auto. Machine Co.,, A. T. & s. Co.,, Batchellers and Warmers. The City Leaguers will start off on their third season. The champs of the two former conflicts, the St. Jo- sephs, have deserted the cause for an- other, their franchise now being va cant. During the winter league, the Eagles saw cause to draft away, but they no more than made the move than the Brooksides swooped down upon the league moguls and received recognition. The league started off on the right path, last week electing Michael J. Clabby as its president succeeding A. E. Veness who held the Siy a tion. President Clabby knows base ball as it is conducted from the ex- ecutive standpoint. He has been at the head of the Yost Baseball asso- citation for four seasons and is now in his fifth. Four clubs will again make up the circuit, three, the Yosts, Black Rocks and BrOoksides, now be- ing in, while several other strong out fits have applications for franchises. It is safe to predict the leagues best season.
 A new venture is the Inter-City lea que in which clubs from this burg of hustle, New Haven, Ansonia, South Norwalk and Stamford will be repre- sented. Both the West Ends and the Joes are to cast their lot with the new enterprise. The schedule for the lea que is already out allowing for con- tests in this city every Sunday. When the St. Joes are on at the Oval, the west Ends will be grabbing the games out of town. Vice versa. when the West Ends are at home, the Joes will be away. The circuit comprises the best semi-pro. clubs in this wing of the state.
 With this batch of leagues offering decent baseball and the corners oh the back lots also tearing off the stunts, who will want for baseball music this season. Bridgeport was never back ward in offering chances to witness the national pastime.

WILL COST CLARKE $500
 IF HE PLAYS AGAIN
Pittsburgh Manager Has Wagered Numerous Suits and Hats That He
 Won't Get Into Game.

Several times every day Manager Fred Clarke of the Pittsburgh Pirates is asked if he honestly and truly meant it when he said he would man. age the club from the bench without participating in any games. Clarke answers the question invariably in the same way. He has no intention at the present time of participating in single game, and he has to tell it to every old friend he meets and every man to whom he is introduced. If they are incredulous-they usually are-Fred will inquire with smile.
 .'Well, would you like to win a suit of clothes or a hat on the proposi- tion ?'
 In some cases there is an aff1rma- tive reply, but generally Clarke's of fer to wager that he has withdrawn in good faith is sufficient to convince the skeptics of his sincerity. If the wager is made Fred produces little vest pocket memorandum book and makes a note of the bet. And that book is gradually being filled up.
 Fred already has clothes to spare. The Buccaneer chief has different set of scenery for each day in the week, with hats to match. If he does not play in single game. this season, he will have more clothing than he y play it will prove expensive.
 eff you go into a game as pinch hitter this summer, your one time at bat will cost you about s400, won't 1t, Fred?' somebody asked.
 -Four hundred It will cost me twice that much,' he replied.
 Now here is a hypothetical question for the experts who think they know Fred Clarke:
 If Pittsburgh is at or near the top, on or about September 1, and one for the club; if hit is needed to win a game which is being played; if the opposing pitcher is one whom Clarke has always found to be easy; if he thinks he can go in there and de- liver the clout that will win the game will he hesitate to go to bat because he knows that it will mean the for feiture of-say $500 out of his own pocket?

'eDid you know asked the Old Sport "that a Jew was once heavy weight champion of the world? No, of course you didn't. What do they teach you young fellows in the schools nowadays, anyway? Of course, everybody knows that there have been lot of Hebrews who have shown class as boxers, and there have been several of championship calibre, includeing little Able Attell, who re- gently lost the featherweight title, and who in his prime was about as clever as they make 'em. Hebrews make mighty good boxers, but there have been few who have been real pugi-ists, in the old-time bare-knuckle sense of the word. The exception was an Eng fish Jew, Daniel Mendoza, who was the first of his nationality to take up fighting as a trade. It will be just 117 years ago Monday since Mendoza lost the championship to John Jack son. Whats that? No. I wasn't there. That was even before my. time, and
 I'm no spring chicken. But I can read, and I don't waste time on triv- ial novels and such rot. Ben Brain who was the champion before Men doza, died in 1794, and Mendoza was the only fighter in sight fit to wear

(By Ira Hall.)

With Pete Colljung watching his In- dustrial league champs cavort almost daily on Crane Field and Tom Keen an, the Connie Mack of the Park City, cycling his Factory leagua pennant winners at Yost Field, conditions are shaping themselves for another pros porous season in the two shop base ball leagues. To be sure. the ten other managers do not intend to have the above two mentioned magnates slip anything over on them and are laying we'll defined plans to keep them out of the positions we'll earn ed last season. Colljung and Keen an have it on the other directors in that their clubs have fields adjoining their plants.
 With four leagues offering claims sional league, Bridgeport fans should have their fill. If Gene McCann's hirelings with three or four games a week can't satisfy your appetite, then the morsels offered by the Industrial and Factory leaguers on Saturdays and the City and Inter-Cfty leaguefs on Sundays ought to come through with the desired relish.
 Not any of the leaguers will get off to the real start before the beginning of next month. In the meanwhile there will be numerous exhibition con- tests, in some instances out of town . clubs being the attractions.
 Not content with representation in one league, the Warner Bros. Co will be found in both the Industrial and Factory leagues. For the past few years the concern has done it's part to make the Industrial league huge success, but this year intends to draft
 fy~a~, fnfo 70 younger organization. This advent into the councils of both organiza- tions will open up a new era in local shop baseball, which may be follow ed by other factories doing the en- core stunt.
 It's foregone conclusion that base ball will be the chief piece of gossip over the irons and stays and laces at that plant this summer. Two clubs in one plant and in rival organiza- tions truly ought to furnish real right tobascO
 The Harvey Hubbell forces threat ened last season to shorten their stay in the Factory league, but were pre- vailed upon to at least finish the sea- son. Their intention has been car ried out and Manager Mike Arnoldsky has moved over to the Industrial lea guers. They will fill the franchise vacated by the Whiting Co. which club withdraw before the end of the last season. The Hubbells were the second best bet in the younger set and will add great strength to the older brethren. The move of the Warner Go. in placing second team in the field, fills up the gap caused by the withdrawal of the Hubbells in the Factory league
 Billy Lundberg will again have charge of the Locomobile forces which means that that club will surely be in

BROOKLYN WINS
 FROM THE GIANTS

Another game was called on ac- count of darkness in Brooklyn yes terday, and when it was called the Brooklyns were ahead and conse- quently the winners. They floore1 the proud Giants by score of 4 to 2. It was a game which dragged, which also had it's moments of excitement and sharp fielding, and in which two irritable warriors were removed for cause by the umpire.
 The Giants played frowsy game of ball, and young MT. Shafer, who as a ball player is fast runner, strewed three misplays around the mottled scenery. Jeff Tesreau, the modern Hercules, pitched in the man. ner of a pitcher who has all the equipment of a star. His spit ball was hard to hit and restricted the Brooklyn lambasters to three scant safeties; but two of these safeties were timely and Tesreau suffer- ed from poor support.
 Knetzer kept his wildness in curb sufficiently to render New York hits scarce, but in the seventh he was taken out of there, after he had is- sued two bases on balls and allowed a hit, filling the bases with nobody out.

GIANT RECRUITS
 SENT TO BUFFALO
Bues, Stock and Munsell Earned by McGraw to Interna-
 tiOnal League

Johnny McGraw, manager of. the Giants, began to use his pruning knife yesterday, and chopped off the heads of three of his most promising re- cruits-Arthur Bues, the Seattle fence buster; Milton Stock, the Fond du Lac infielder, and Emmett Munsell the big Texan curvologist. All three men have been sent to George Stallings' Buffalo team, and it. is possible that they will all get another chance to show their worth in Marlin next spring.
 It is believed in baseball circles that Devlin was sent to Boston so that President Ward of that club would waive claim. to this trio, par ticularly Bues. It is known that for his Braves. However, the trans fer of these recruits is a promotion for all of them, particularly for Stock, who jumps from a Class D league tu Class A. Bues and Munsell were Class B leaguers last season, so they rise two pegs in their chosen profes- sion.
 Munsell came from the Dallas club of the Texas League, where he won twenty and lost twenty games last season. Wilbert Robinson, coach of McGraw's pitchers, is very sweet on this lad, but he needs seasoning. Stock was dug up for McGraw by Crazy" Schmidt, the old time pitcher at Fon du Lac, in the Wisconsin-Illinois League, where he hit .268 in 119 games He is only eighteen or nineteen, and is fully as promising as Hank Groh, the little short stopper who set the International afire last year, when he was with Buffalo, and whose ability has made him place on the Giant bench. with a Giant regulars future before him.
 Stock is extremely fast, and his minor league hitting mark is probably only a starter. McGraw was pecu- liarly impressed by the boy during the Spring training and took great pains with him.
 Bues was Amos Rusie's find at Seat-

4 JEW WAS ONCE WORLDS
 HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION

the belt Ben had left vacant, so to speak. So the bugs elected him champion by exclamation. Like At tell, Mendoza won his fights by c1ey- erness ,ather than the rough work. In those bare-fist days rough and tumble, foul blows, gouges and hair pulling were the rule, but Mendoza didn't indulge in such practices. A huge human mastodon called Harry the Coal Heaver was Mendoza's first victim Although the fuel heaving party was a third bigger than the Jew he didn't stand a chance to win. Dick Humphries was another big fel- low who contested Mendoza's right to the title. They met three times, and the first two fights were 'hoss and hoss' but in the third Mendoza won all the way. Despite the racial ha- tired that was rife in those days, the champion became great favorite with the fans. The game was then in it's infancy, and, until Mendoza appeared on the scene, the scrappers might as we'll have had no heads for all the use they put 'em to in follow ing their trade. Mendoza may be said to be the father of scientific pu- gilism, and as such he deserves mnnument."
