READY FOR Grain
Santa Fe Making Big Prepara-
tiOns in Kansas.
Road VIII Have 10000 Cars for
Fall Crops.
new ORDERS FOR CARS
Manufacturers viii Deliver
Equipment Soon.
More Available Rolling Stock
Than Ever Before.

In expectation of the largest crops in
the history of the southwest, officials at
the general offices of the Atchison, To-
peka & Santa Fe in Topeka today, an
nounced that the road will have more
than 10000 cars available by the end of
the coming summer. Every car will be
stored or ready for use in Oklahoma
and Kansas. This announcement sig
nifies one of the most general and wide
spreading efforts in the history of the
agricultural west to handle without loss
to the farmers, the fall crops.
In the Topeka shops of the Santa F'e
the mechanical department is working
hundreds of men repairing freight cars
for hauling of grain. Every bad order
car on the Santa F'e system has been
sent to the nearest shop with orders to
make repairs at once. Not until the
freight cars and other equipment avail
able for the hauling of grain, are in
good repair will the mechanical depart
ment turn its attention to other rolling
stock.
doing to prepare for the fall traffic.
The general car accountant in Topeka,
is sending out tracers all over the
United States, in an effort to bring all
Santa Fe equipment back to the home
fold. It is figured by officials that other
roads have IA, 900 Santa Fe cars in use
on their lines. The Santa Fe wants
every one of these cars for the hauling
of grain in Kansas and Oklahoma
Then there. is one more preparation.
The Santa Fe has ordered 2,450 cars
from the manufacturers to be delivered
this summer. This order includes 1,250
steel underframe 4O-foot box cars, 200
furniture cars, 80 feet long, and 1000
cars. In an emergency the
refrigerator cars can be used for haul
ing sacked grain These cars will be
used in Kansas and Oklahoma if the
demand is made.
If other railroads in Kansas prepare
for the fall traffic with the spirit of the
Santa Fe, the farmers should have no
trouble in sending their grain to
and mills

Is this discrimination? That is what
the telephone company wants to know.
The doctor downstairs also wants to
know. This is a case where getting
in on the ground floor costs more
money.
The utilities commission, like the
family doctor, is called upon to answer
all kinds of questions. 1t is the
charge and defense of the term dis
elimination that ties most of the knots
in the commissions routine of bust
ness. Is it fair to give a mute person
a rebate on a telephone? That ques-
ton ought to hold Sherlock Holmes.
But the utilities commission must an
swer it. The Pratt Telephone COM
pany wants to know.
Everyone else will want to know
what dumb person wants with a
telephone at all. The answer is easy.
The head of a household in Pratt is a
mute; also his wife. They have a
telephone. They cannot talk, it is
true. but they can hear, and the SER
wants can transmit their answers. Are
they entitled to a rebate because the
telephone only gives them half serv-
ice? Seriously now, are they?

resolution adopted by the Athletic
Advisory club last night for raising a
fund of $125,000 to be devoted to the
training of athletes for the next Olym-

Offers of parks for training purposes

names of promising athletes are being
received in every mail. One comes from

Lord Desbrough, who presided at last

MIKE MURPHY, VETERAN
TRAINER, MAY RETIRE

NEW YORK, Aug. mike Muir
phey, veteran trainer of American ath-
letes and who handled the Yankees in
the Olympic games, is hearing the call
of retirement and from an authorita-
tice source 1t was learned today that he
will quit as a teacher. Mike is far from
strong and the strain on his vitality
has been too great.
1t is an old story, of course that he
is to retire, but it comes this time
backed by the hint that another form
of activity has made its appeal to him,
one that would be profitable and would
not be of such firing order.
The new enterprise that is being
talked of for Mike win be one that will
keep him very much in the public eye
should he finally decide to undertake
it, and. while not exactly athletics is
akin to that sort of work.

Monty Believes Wells Would
Beat Palzer in Another Bout

However, at the close of the period
Wells had a tremendous lead on
points. Palzer was terribly mauled.
But he had not exerted himself
anything like the amount that the
Englishman had. Palzer could not
eXpend as much energy in the same
space of time even if he should try
to. AS the third round opened
Wells tried his same fast, boring
assault, but he was all in, While
Palzer was practically fresh. so
far as muscles were concerned and
a few moments sufficed for the
knockout punch to come across
Clever Against Kennedy.
Now, week ago, we saw Wells

was against the man known as the
cleverest heavyweight boxer seen
in New York since Corbett-none
other than Tom Kennedy. Wells
fought a fight after Kennedys own
heart. He stood away and boxed.
cutting his man into ribbons with
long lefts that lacked the force of
the ones that struck Palzer, but
possessed the qualities that cut up
and pain a man, draw his blood and
leave him weak a while later. They
were typical Packey McFarlands
on a bigger scale. In every round

was beaten to the proper point
Then he stepped in and made his
bid for a knockout. Bang! And
down went Kennedy for a nine
count. Up he got. and bang again!
Both blows were triphammer right
swings. delivered with all the force
at the Englishman' command. He
had taken time to set himself,
measure his man and place all the
weight of his body behind them.
This second time Kennedys head
was saved from striking the floor
by the ropes. They supported him
around the shoulders. He lay limp
while Referee job began to drone
the count. Then came whizzing the
sponge from Kennedy's corner that
proclaimed him a badly beaten
man.
Will Outlook PaIzer and Win.
This second kind of fight is the
sort that Wells viii hand Palzer
if they meet again. He has learned
the lesson that Palzer is one man
that can not be beaten at his own
style of game-by Wells. The Brit
on confessed to me his policy in the
past 1t was to learn the other
mans general style and go to him
in that very way. thus taking him
by surprise But it wouldn't work
with Palzer and Wells admits the
fact now.
He will fight a stayaway COM
bat next time, if there is a next
time. He will pepper Palzer to
shreds with that sinister left-that
left that comes from below, from
the outside, from the inside, from
above. from behind; that left that
can not be stopped, that lands with
squareness on the spot intended'
that left that will win for him the
victory

But, getting back to the original
thing we set out to eXpostulate
upon, it is the line that leads to
our conclusion that Wells Is a bet
ter man that Palzer that he can
lick the giant Wells made
mistake in tactics when he met
Palzer. He jumped into the fray
from the clang of the gong with
intent upon stretching his opponent
on the canvas in the briefest posi-
BILE space of time. During the very
first round he banged Palzer almost
into insensibility with his fierce
rushing attack. He had Palzer's
right eye almost closed and twice
had dropped the big fellow for the
count Of nine Such a smashing
attack never had been witnessed
among heavyweights in a New
York ring.
The second round found Wells
still after the Iowa farmer at top
speed and landing blow upon blow
upon blow with fearful impact
Palzar's tremendous size, strength
ana grit alone kept him from jour
neying to Sunderland. But he
came back for more and assimilated
his trouncing as though it were an
enjoyable meal But the awful
pace had snapped Wells strength.
He began to tire. He never had
rushed so furiously in all his life,
he told me after the scrap, and the
effort told on him
He had not expected to go more
than a couple of rounds at that
speed-no man could. The crowd
could see that he had planned to
make his bid for fame in the first
part of the fight with a rapid
knockout that would dazzle all
America. Wells figured to get his
man early. With these tactics, if
he could not get him early, he
would not get him at all, and he
knew it.
AS soon as he felt himself firing.
Wells said afterward, he knew the
jig was up. At the end of the second
round Palzer began his rally and
dropped Wells for short count.
