Leach Cross Is the most YER
rntila hAA L.. AArion


Leach Cross Is the most YER
satile boxer in America"
Sam" Wallach once split into an
argument with this statement. The
saying is recalled now merely that
the brother manager may be given
the proper credit. With the returns
up to date, teaches easily stands as
the big league article In versatility.
Cross made remarkable showing
in the Madison Square Garden re-
Gently wnen he took on Willie Richie
and fought the worlds lightweight
champion to a stubborn standstill.
Several months ago, when pitted
against old Matty Baldwin, in the
Vernon arena, Cross Topped, wal
for the full twenty rounds. teaches
should have stopped Baldwin in six
rounIs had he worked as he worked
against Richie.
And now we know what Manager
Sam means by versatile"
In all probability this '1n and out"
thing will send Cross into the ring a
short-ende when he meets Joe Rivers
before the Pacific Athletic Club
Thanksgiving Day
GOULD the public feel assured that
- the New Yorker would fight the
Mexican as he fought the lightweight
champion there would be an army of
Cross hackers standing out in the
open with the long green laid over
their arms
But with the memory of teaches
stalllng, sprawling and mauling over
the floor with poor Baldwin wheeling
in high c, and hanging on to keep
from falling of his own weight it
viii be difficult to restore confidence
in the Cross camp.
Nevertheless, the Rivers Cross en-
gagement looms up as one of the very
best lightweight cards of the hour
The two ten round draws boxed by
these boys in New York is all the
advertisement the Coast card needs
Both contests were slam bang af-
fairs. and at the finish each man was
yelling for more room.
II can't lick this bird in ten rounds
He's schooled to the short route"
Rivers told the Broadway sports
slip him to me in California, where
twenty rounds is mans size order,
and III finish him up"
Had him going" was Cross cry
after the second go. Had him going
In the tenth, and would have dropped
him in another round"
THEY are coming together for the
real thing in twenty rounds Our
guess Is that the loser will be as COM
pletely eliminated from the top row s
was Joe Mandot when whipped by the
Mex.
This will be Rivers first Los An
seles appearance since he disgraced
himself by sitting down in front of

strongly against Princeton, for the
majority of tackles downfic.d were
made by the linemen. Then l don't
think Haughton ever made a wiser
move than when he moved Hardwick
to end and Storer back to tackle, as
Storer was only a mediocre end, but
a demon at tackle.
Hardwick Wonder.
Hardwick is sure to do wonders,
both on defense and offense. He will
probably be the end man on the shor;
side on offense, and will be seen cut

ability. If Brickley gives Yale any
trouble it will be from kick formation

Charley White turned
neat trick the other even

slew KID Kansas, one of the
toughest of the tough. in knock
out fashion after himself being
fioored and on the very verge OF
a defeat. Kansas is young
Italian with lengthy name and
halls from Buffalo. n. Y, where
he has the reputation OF being
a desperately hard bat.ler. He is
a boy who stopped Eddie Clabby
there the other night in convinc-
ing style, although Eddie dislo-
Gated his shoulder in an early
round and was little good after
that. Good judges who have seen
Kansas fight say he is welter-
weight, and the White people
showed excellent Judgment in
bringing him down TO low
weight-one of the spots where
weight making was of decided ad-
vantage to the ultimate winner.
THEY are talking around here
about the proposed match be-
tween Joe Mandot, Southern
lightweight champion, and Steve
Ketchel, the hardy young local
star who has been doing lot
of fine things lately in the ring.
One OF the nearby promoters has
promised to stage the bout and
local fans already are beginning
TO sit up and discuss the affair.
Joe has been one of the best ad-
vertised champions we ever
had and since he has been train
ing here for his new campaign
he has made dozens and dozens
of friends. and It is matter of
doubt If there Is hereabouts right

FARMERS OPPORTUNITY
TO BUILD UP SOIL
strong Plea to Turn Under Crop OF
Weeds and Grass Thereby Add
inc Much Needed Humus. +.

The heavy destruction of cotton that
was left in the fields when the rainy
season began is very much to be de-
plored, especially as the farmers were
already handicapped by very short
crop. still there are many good things
brought by the rain that will many
times more than offset the loss in cot
ton.
In the first place the rains have
filled the country With the finest fall
gardens that will be worth many thou
sand dollars to our people. They Will
also make the sweet potato and sugar
cane crop good, the first that the
county has had to amount to any
thing in several years. Then the pas
lures and fields are full of stock wa
ter and grass, which will put stock of
all kinds into the winter in fine condi-
ton and enable the farmers to carry
them through the hard winter at a
great deal less expense than it would
IL 1t had remained dry till cold wealth
err. But the greatest thing that
the rains have brought to the
county, is the fine grass and
weed crop. the like OF which has never
been seen in the county, and the land

is in the best condition that it has
been in many years for turning under
this coat of weeds and grass that is
anywhere from one to three feet deep
on almost every farm acre IL the
county. and it stands as challenge
to every frugal. progressive farmer
for him to turn it under and let 4;

keep from breaking his land this fan
when It win pay him fIve-fold over
any other farm work he can do at this
season of the year.
The farmers Of this county stand
face to face with the fact that they
must use some means to get humus
into the soil before their lands win
ever be made to produce as they once
did. There never was a more favor
able time for this work than this fall.
VIII we make use Of the opportunity?
There is vast deal of money be-
ing spent in this section for CONNER
cial fertilizer. A great portion Of this
money is being absolutely thrown
away on account OF the poor mechan-
ical condition OF the soil. Plow the
green crop under and let 1t put your
soil in better condition, and you will
get great deal better results from
your commercial fertilizer. Nearly all
farmers know these fundamental prin.
ciples of good farming, but will they
do 1t is the question? Some of them
will.

garden. especially when used at this
time of year. The best soap for the
purpose is white CASTLE. but any mild
white soap will suffice.
AS an insecticide or fungicide shave
an ordinary sized bar of the soap. Add
three gallons of lukewarm water and
six drops of lemon Oil Stir well and
the plant thoroughly. not only on the
top of the foliage but under it. The
liquid. besides fumigating the plants,
will enrich the soil. and IL is invalu

water and use without delay. II a

half of cold water.
Apply 10 rose plants, carnations, vio-
/ let leaves and the like. Half an houl
after applying rinse off the solution
with soft. clear water.
For begonias. fuchsias, ferns and al
