CROP SHOWING
GOOD PROMISE
Pierce District Will Produce First
Beets This Fall and They are
Looking Fine

Pierce, Aug. 13.-Although this
is the first year that farmers have
raised beets in this district, they
are having great success with the
crop. The leaves completely cover
the ground and every indication is
that the crop will be bumper. A
beet dump has been built to handle
the acreage. The beets will go to
the Eaton factory. They compare
with any Of the fields in other dis
tricts where the beet has been a
crop for several years.

ing cleaned up this week.
Wheat is being cut and threshed

 In Bridgeport

On the night of the 27th, Bridgeport lodge, Loyal Order of Moose will en- terta in Ringing lodge No. 34, the only travelling lodge of the order in the world. On this occasion the circus lodge is to initiate a couple of mem bers. The ceremony of the circus men differs slightly from that of the local lodge and the members are looking forward to watching the work.
 On Sunday. Feb. 25th, the lodge will march in a body to attend services at Grace NJ. E. church. on invitation from the pastor. The charter of the lodge is still open but will be closed on thN15th.
 The Moose are planning an inno- vation in the formation of a junior lodge for young men between the ages of Is and 21. This is something of an innovation in lodge affairs and will be characterized by the spirit of nus tie" and doing things that has marked the organization of the Moose in this city. The junior order will pay a death benefit of $50 and its mem bers, upon reaching their majority, will be supposed to join the main or der.
 The Junior order of Moose is the idea of Supreme Organizer Charles Dennis and already the lodges of the junior order have begun to multiply throughout the country. The motto Of the Junior Moose ends with the typi- caIIy American injunction Make Good "

Giants To Open
 Against Brooklyn
Start Season April II and High flanders Play Red SOx in New York on Same Day

The National League moguls did not waste much time at their meeting Tn New York. yesterday, and without adopt the schedule for 1912. The schedule ca Is for 154 games and has games billed from April Il to Octo- Der s.
 The Giants will open the season on April II in Brooklyn, and will have the Superbas for their opening attrac- tion at the Polo Grounds on April 18- July is the only ho fday date which has been awarded the Giants on their own lot, and again the Superbas will be the attraction. Brooklyn will be home on Decoration Day, when the Boston Braves will entertain at Washington Park. Ebbets had hoped to oren his new stadium on August 27 the anniversary of the battle Of Long Island, but the schedule makers cruely billed the Superbas in Chicago on that date. However, 1t VII not be hard for Charlie to dig up another holiday. The Giants will spend Dec oration Day in Philadelphia and Labor Day in Boston. Brooklyn plays in Philadelphia on Labor Day.
 The other three cities which have been favored with opening dates are Boston, Cincinnati and St. Louis The Phil'ie will assist the Braves to pTy off the lid in Beantown, the Cubs will be the opening attraction in Cfnc'n- nati, while the Pirates will be Mrs. Helen Hathaway Brttton's guests In the Mound City. The Bhnl1eS VIII open at home with Boston on April IS. Cincinnati will be the Cubs draw ing card for the Chicago opening on the same date. and St. Louis will be the Pirates attraction when the gates of Forbes Field are thrown open on April IS.
 The Giants will open in Brooklyn, the first time since 1904. The High flanders opened at ho1Ie in that year and put up protes' against the Giants playing in Brooklyn. as they argued that the Giants opening in Greater New York took the edge off their own opening. It was then un- derstood that in the future the Giants would be kept out of Brooklyn when it was the Highlanders' turn to open at home. However, since the sched- u'e was mauled about this season at the request of the American League, Farrell will have no reason for a pro test. It is understood, however, that Farrell has picked up enough plums from the American League schedule committee to enable him to forget that the Giants will open in Brooklyn on tn same day that the gates on the Hilltop will be thrown open.

Several Magnates
 Are After StOVaII
Former Cleveland Manager in Great Demand at American
 League Meeting

Chicago, Feb. 14.-Team owners and managers of the American Base ball League began to arrive here last night for the annual schedule meet ing. Interest centres in the possibil- ity of some big trades. Foremost of these Is the case of George StovaIl, the former manager of the Cleveland team. It has been said throughout the winter that as Harry Davis prob ably will play first base for the team next season Stovall is for sale. Jimmy Callahan, manager of the Chicago Americans, is one of the bidders for S.Uvall, and several other managers have expressed a desire to acquire the player.
 St. Louis is known to be in the market for a good catcher, and, as Robert S. Hedges expressed it, "any good player I can get" Clark Grif- fth, manager of the Washington team, has been here two days ang ing for a pitcher. He and Callahan have had several conferences, and yesterday Hedges and Griffith met. As yet Griffith is without the much desired player.

Nike Gibbons Is Winner Over Hicks St. Paul Wonder Defeats Detroit Boxer in Ten Round
 Battle

Mike Gibbons. the St. Paul whirl- wind, dispelled all doubts as to his superiority over Freddie Hicks, the overrated Detroit boxer, by beating his foe in every round of the ten they engaged in at the Fairmont A. C., New York, last night. Hicks suffered a hard trouncing without causing Gio- bOns any worriment during the fight.
 Gibbons wearied from pounding Hicks after the fifth round, and there after he staked his chances of ending the battle by a knockout on a chance wallop While Gibbons blows were damaging, they failed to down Hicks, who feeb!y tottered about the ring re- pea tedly ony to be saved by the bell.
 Hicks fought misera bly, during the first four rounds, in which he did not land one effective blow. Gibbons slashed his opponents physfognomy he almost had Hicks out. Again in the eighth round a knockout seemed Hicks portion. but he rallied and fought back gamely.
 Gibbons used the one-two punch with good effect in the latter rounds In the ninth round, he damaged Hicks left eye with sharp left hook
 The seventh round was the only one in which Hicks made any kind of showing He willingly swapped punches with Gibbons. but neither packed the power in his blows to rem der the other helpless.

Tommy Burns Will Not Fight Morris (FOrmer Champion Says He Will Meet Only Johnson
 or Flynn

Tommy Burns. who at one time %vas worlds heavyweight champion by grace Of James Jeffries, is going to select his company In the future. Thomas returned from the antipodes a few days ago and was immediately invited to mingle with Carl Morris for thirty minutes and receive nice, fat Ppurse for his efforts.
 To the flattering offer Burns turned his tin ear and said: I'm not a'goin' to fight Carl Morris or anybody e-se but Jack Johnson or Jim Flynn"
 Notwithstanding that Johnson wrest- ed the title from Burns with the greatest ease, the latter sees visions of a fat bank roll in another meeting with the maduro titleholder. Tommy's g dope may be all right, but 1t IS hard to figure where he could get any money if he clashed with Johnson again To get going with Flynn will be a tough proposition, as James Is billing the. country on his contem- p'ated affair with LII Artha next summer.
 If Tommy desires little publicity he should challenge Jeff, now that the latter has blabbed about thinking of returning to the squared circ'e In the meantime, if Tommy desires to add to his bank account, he had bet ter drift around this way and tackle Morris or Al Palzer. These bruisers will keep him busy, and it will give him a chance to also let the boys see how good he is.

HOW " COBB GAINED
 SPEED IN BASE RUNNING
Detroit Star Practiced in Heavy Shoes
 to Strengthen Leg Muscles.

-Ty Cobb has a habit of pulling off sensational stunts. That day is count ed lost on which Ty fai's to butt into print with some extraordinary feat
 was pulled off last spring. The team
 was in Monroe. Ty joined late Lit tie publicity preceded his coming, for Tyrus had signed his contract and said which always brings publicity. Ty logged around the race track at Mon roe, La. where the team was train ing, hatted a little, f1ed ded a little, than fielding or batting. The team started north and in practice Hughey Jennings ordered his men to run from plate 10 first. He wanted to instruct quick start and he also used the stunt in practicing bunting.
 While this was going on someone suggested that the players be timed in going from the plate to first. This was arranged A comparison of fig ures showed the startling fact that at least four men on the team were get ting to first faster than Tyrus. B g sensationi Stories spread over the entire country that Cobb's star was setting, He could no longer show his brilliant flashes. of speed and his legs were giving way. The papers con tinued and they were tacl1irg ''30'' on Tvs career. Cobb said nothing. He took 1t all calmly and silently. He did not try CO OS-on nlInSSlIs OAly smiled. Quite unusual for Tyrus and it was the only weak spot in the en- tire plot, but the fellows who were spreading the rumors could not be de- tered; they were certain.
 A few days before the training trip ended Try announced he would show as much speed as he ever showed in the afternoons game. Going into details Cobb explained that he thought the matter of training over during the winter months and decided on an orig inaI way to increase his speed He had pair of heavy shoes made. He also adjusted strips of metal to the soies of the shoes, adding nicely to the weight; Cobb calculated that the weight would strengthen the muscles of his legs. Training with those heavy shoes should harden the mus cles and would better equip him for the playing season. After accuston- ing himself to the weight, Cobb world substitute light shoes and according to his way of figuring he would be able to run faster than before.
 The exhibition that Cobb gave that afternoon will long be remembered He pulled off neary a dozen different stunts on the bases. He ran Ike a scared deer. He caused general up sets on the infield. Cobb was himself again.

PREPARING FOR
 2,OOO MILE TOUR

The route for the coming Coffman- Musselman annual motorcycle tour and plans for sending a representa- tive to complete under the clubs col ors for the $50 and $100 silver loving cups that are to be offered, are en- gazing the attention of most motor cycle clubs throughout the country.
 In the northern states winter inter- feres more or less with the activities of motorcycIists, and the coming tour has offered to these riders a great subject for fireside discussion.
 The tour is beginning to take actual form in that some of the details are now being worked out by A. B. Golf man, 12O Tenth street, Toledo, and A. J. Musselman. 1856 Wells street, Chi cago. who will give the silver cups $50 for trade riders, and one at $100 for private owners. The tour is to cover approximately 2,O00 miles, to last ten days, and it will probably end at the city in which the summer meet ing and races of the Federation of American Motorocyclists are held.
 For this reason the route of the tour cannot be definitely decided until the F. A. chooses it's convention city. An effort is being made to have this plenty of time may be had for routing the tour and making all of the nee essary arrangements
 Many motorcyclists who are alive
 
 ready writing to Messrs. Coffman and Mussellman, endeavoring to arrange matters. so the tour can pass through their cities Theses requests will, of course, carry weight when the time comes for laying out the route.
 This time is not so far distant, and clubs that desire to have certain towns included in the tour are prepar- ing to make their preference known at once.
 Right along with the route of the tour, in point of interest among the clubs, is that of competing for the two trophies. These are of greater value than any ever offered for per feet scores in this country. and every club has realized that the honor of winning them will be great.
 Some clubs have already definitely decided to send a rider to represent their organization this rider compet- ing under. the clubs colors-either as private owner or as trade rider. Some clubs may even send two riders so as to compete for each cup In any event. the clubs are realizing that now is the time to get busy-and they are doing it.
 The tour will have the hearty CO., operation of the officers of the Fed eration of American Motorcyclists, and the association will support it by giving all assistance within it's power.
