HE WILL MEET JIM FLYNN, THE
FIREMAN, THANKSGIVING DAY
AT Los ANGELES AND THE WIN
MGR WILL BE MATCHED AGAINST
PALZER.

Frank e. Force, the well known
sport writer, has contributed quite an
article on Luther Luck McCarty,
formerly of this city, which will be
ances in Fargo and vicinity. Mr.. Force
says:
with Jack Johnson put of the fight
ing game and with Joe Jeanette booked
to hurry away to Australia for a stay
OF six months or so, few fights of inter
est in the heavyweight division will be
| booked in this country, although with
out a doubt New York clubs will con-
tinue to stage contests between what
ever so-called white hopes may appear
from time to tim. About the only con-
| test on the cards of any Importance
whatever is hat scheduled for Los
Jim Flynn and Luther McCarty in the
i first OF a series of heavyweight elin1in-
alton matches which Ton McCarey Is
| planning.
McCarty has been rather successful
of late and added to his ring laurels
the other day when he defeated AL
Kaufman SO easily on the coast
| Kaufman has always been regarded
as a very fair boxer and as a fellow
who possesses plenty OF courage. He
has, however, never been placed in the
ranks of the top aotnhers. because he
has never shown an ability to hit and
simply because he could not punish his
opponent. When he stepped into the
ring, with Mozart he was not In con-
dition for he learned during his train
ing stunts hat he could no longer de-
velop sufficient strength for O. hard
bout. So he Was o-utclaased physically
from the start and McCarty had little
trouble In beating him down at will.
From the testimony of those who
have seen McCartx Ia action we should
Judge that he lis simply a big, powerful
fellow, who knows nothing about box
ing, but has courage and quite a punch.
His fight with Flynn will be the most
important of his career to date and we
| rather expect to see McCarty have a
tough time with the hghting fireman OF
Colorado. Flynn is not q top notch
heavyweight by any means, but he
possesses considerable knowledge of
the ring game and has had a world Of
experience. He has fought winning
| fights and losing fights and thus should
have 1T all over McCarty as far as ring
ge~neralship is concerned. Flynn will
probably be able to cover up and eIude
the majority. OF McCarty's blows, while
the fireman Viii without question pun
ish McCarty almost as easily ais he did
Miller. The big fellows chance of win
/ ming lies in the power of his punches
and OF curse he may land one OF these
with sufficient force to do the business.

Heating of Hay.

The familiar phenomenon of the
heating Of hay in the stack has ,usu-
ally been ascribed to purely chemical
reactions. Recent researches carried
out by Niche, however, show that the
process is a physiological one, and due
to bacteria and other lowly organisms.
It was found that sterilized hay would
not heat, but that il sprinkled with
water contaminated with earth or or
binary hay it did so. A species Of
bacillus and a fungus were found to
be chiefly responsible for temperatures
up TO sc degrees centigrade. For high
er temperatures another species of
bacillus was fnurd to be responsible,
says The Dundee Advertiser. The
work of the bacteria in the heating OF
hay illustrates the curious fact that
these organisms usually end by kill
ing themselves. In the center of a
large heated stack the hay is found TO
be sterile. And this is attributed to
the killing of the bacteria by the heat
which they themselves evolved. In
other cases they are poisoned by tox-
ms which they themselves produce.
