CARL MORRIS TO
 FIGHT LEMON IN
 WISCONSIN WILDS
(By T. s. Andrevs.) )

The Wisconsin boxing law has not been in operation as yet but the clubs will begin operating under it within another month, and. still enc of the Kenosha clubs is thinking of staging a bout between Carl Morris, the Okla homa lump of beef, and John Willie, the former boxer-wr estler of Chica- go. There was time when Willie was one tough heavyweight, either as a, wrestler or boxer, but 1t is several years since John has shone as a star. He may be tough yet, but the fans are hardly looking for that class of matches around here, especially as a better get wise to the fact before it is too late. Morris is no doubt i'm proving with every bout but if he is to be seen around here let the promo ters secure an opponent who will have an equal show with him This idea of making one-sided matches will not be tolerated by the fans. They may stand for it now and then, when they do not know better, but as a regular diet-never. Poor match making will often spoil a good town from a boxing standpoint.
 For the benefit of some of the box ing fans who do not know of the rule 1t might be we'll to mention that no de- cisions are given in Winnipeg. When Jack Dillon and George Asfe fought there recently the manager of one. of the men sent out report that Dill lon had secured a draw from the east ern man. Inquiry regarding the same was made by the writer, with the re- suit that the facts were learned. Jack according to the two papers there. won all the way and Ashe showed great nerve in staying the limit, al- though he displayed plenty of clev- erness. False reports do lots of dam age sometimes and do not help the game any. The straight goods are usually the best

Elgin, Ills, Aug. 30-Fourteen cars got away, this morning, in the annual 3O1 mile grind over the mile course here, for the E1gin National Trophy. A larger field and larger machines than appeared in yesterdays race added to the interest in the contest and the crowd, exceeding in numbers that which broke through the lines of the militia at the finish, yesterday, was on hand to eheeN the starters.
 Bill Endicott, in 8 Case, was first man away and in the order of the naming the following took up his pursuit at intervals of 30 seconds:

 The greater throng was attracted, perhaps, by the added element of danger. Five men, who drove their racers at a mile a. minute speed for nearly five hours, yesterday, started out to repeat their performance. Their hands were b1istered in holding the machines to the road in the rough spots and they felt the effect of jour ney in every muscle. This was espec- iaIly true in the case of Harry Endi- colt, who tainted while on the 30th lap. He said he felt much better af- ter a good sleep and that he expected to finish better than third, the posi- ton he was in, yesterday, when he succumbed to the strain Ralph De Palma, who was bleeding at the nose when he finished first, had put crsh- ions in the drivers seat tsa relieve the jar of his spine.

CRICKETs IN COURTHOUSE.
Fill Sedgwiclz County Building-Fear
Damage to Records.

Wichita, Kan, June PA plague
of crickets threatens the Sedgwick
county courthouse. Thousands of the
black insects, fully grown, have ap-
peared at the courthouse during the
past two days. The place is swarming
with them, and the visitor to the
building was greeted by the cricket
song from thousands of the dusky
musicians.
On the south side of the building
are to be found countless mum bers of
crickets. The grass next to the wall
is alive with them, the crevices be-
tween the stones, the angles in the
walls, the cracks in the steps and
every place large enough to contain a
cricket is filled. They hoped or
crawled leisurely across the walks and
many were trampled under foot. They
waited patiently at the doors and hop
ped inside the building whenever any
one entered. Many of them crawled
through the cracks about the doors
and windows and made themselves at
home on the inside.
No one about the courthouse ever
remembers to have seen such large
mum berS of crickets, here or anywhere
else, and it is feared that their APP
pearance means trouble for the in
mates of the offices. A cricket will
eat anything from a straw hat to a
public record, and if they once get in
side the filing cases in the county Of
fices they may do great damage.

CHANGE METHODS
Haskell County Farmers See
Need of Summer FaIIoW.
College Officers
Will Aid Them.

Santa Fe, Kan, June 24.-Because
the wheat crop is an almost entire
failure in Haskell as well as many
others of the extreme western Kan
sas counties this year, experiments
are to be made this summer in many
of the stricken counties with a view
to entirely changing the method of
cultivation of the crop. With the as
sistance of local merchants and big
land owners. the State Agricultural
college is getting from ten to twenty
five farmers in each county to sum-
mer fallow small acreages and then
plant and cultivate the crop under in
structionS from college officials. There
is little doubt that large numbers of
farmers will agree to enter the ex-
pertinent as it is now well known
throughout the western end of the
state that a more efficient method of
wheat cultivation must be found. 1t
is the conservative belief of local ex-
perts that the planting and cultiva-
ton of wheat under present methods
by all farmers would bankrupt every
county in the western fourth of the
state in less than five years.
