RICHIE STILL CHAMP.

San Francisco, July 5.-A wicked
right cross-the same blow which
forced AID Wolgast to foul away the
lightweight championship after feel
ing it's sting-proved too great a
stumbling block to Joe Rivers in his
attempt to wrest the lightweight title
from Champion Willie Richie in the
Eighth street open air arena here, the
Mexican being knocked out in the
eleventh round. Richie toppled his
victim over for the count of nine with
ponderous right to the jaw, and an
other right to the chin, preceded by a
left to the stomach, settled Rivers
chances as a lightweight contender.
The fight throughout was viciously
contested, and twice during the ear
ier rounds it looked as if Rivers
might win. Ritch1e's wonderful ring
fectively straight from the shoulder
with either hand, however, offset the
Mexican's swings, which frequently
found their mark, and it was not long
before Rivers became disheartened
and pinned his faith solely on wild
gagged "haymakers.'
Mexican Looks Good.
The battle opened up with both men
on their mettle and eager to mix at
close range. The first round left no
choice, but in the second, third and
fourth rounds the Mexican was tiger
champion with singing blows to the
face and body, several of which stag
gered Richie and caused uneasiness in
his corner.
The San Franciscan rallied in the
fifth and thereafter displayed his
true championship colors. He met the
southerner's ill-timed rushes with
snappy left and right smashes to the
face, which cut deeply, and easily took
care of the wild rushes and swings,
which missed him by many inches.
The champion fairly beamed with
confidence as the fight progressed. In
the seventh he opened a cash above
Rivers left eye and in the following
round cut his face severely with a
volley of rapidly delivered punches.
The tenth round seemed to presage
ultimate defeat for the challenger; a
left uppercut to the chin, which lifted
him from the floor, caused him to fall
ter perceptibly.
Goes Down Twice.
The eleventh and final round had
scarcely opened when Ritchie's right
shot out shoulder length, catching
ing him to the mat. Nine seconds
We're tolled off before the almost help
less fighter regained his feet. Quickly
the champions left found the Mexi-
cans stomach and a right uppercut
reached the falling Mexican's jaw,
sending him prone.
The battle was fought under perfect
weather conditions in the open, and
was witnessed by 1000 persons. The
receipts, it was said, aggregated $30,-

Topeka got away to a five run lead

hits and Indifferent playing by the job

across. The Kaws could do nothing
with Scott after the first two innings
and only one more hit was made. That
was secured in the eighth inning when
a ball made q bad bound to Hughes
and hit him on the breast. An error
by Scott on an attempted double steal
allowed the run to score in the eighth.
Fullerton pitched a great game up
to the ninth inning and fast playing by
his support held the game safe up to
that time. Hughes walk and Petty's
double scored one in the second. A
triple by Rapp and Castles sacrifice
scored one in the sixth. Petty singled
to open the ninth. Rapp tripled, count

farming operations more or less hazardous,
small areas at least could be made practically
immune to drought by the use of windmills
Water at no great depth is found nearly all
over that part of the country, and the In
stallation of small pumping plant would
enable the farmer, at little cost, to moisten
few acres of garden or orchard, thus assur-
ing himself against a total failure of food
crops in years of extreme dryness.
Windmills in large numbers, some of them
of great size, are already used in many parts
of the West to pump water for irrigation and
other purposes. There is no reason why
they should not be employed for heating and
lighting. On irrigated farms it is not un-
common to see dozen or more great steel
contrivances of the kind-skeleton towers,
each fifty feet high to the axis of the wheel
busily engaged in pumping water. Each
one is provided with reciprocating pump,
single stroke of which lifts fourteen quarts
to height of forty-ive feet.
DR.. Harvey w. Wiley has suggested that
in the Northwest, where billiards frequently
cause frightful suffering to people on $50
lated farms, it may eventually be practicable
to turn the fierce storm winds to useful ac
count, and force them actually, through the
medium of windnills to heat the houses,
keeping the latter at a temperature of sew
enty degrees when it is forty degrees below
zero outside. and doing away with all neces-
sity for coal.
PUT it is entirely possible that we may yet
= find some means whereby we can utilize
the radiant energy of the sun direct. Ga
mician, an Italian physicist of high reputa-
ton, estimates that In the tropics, with
day of six hours sunshine, the sun delivers
upon one square mile day an amount of
heat equal to that obtained by burning
twenty-five hundred tons of coal: A surface
of ten thousand square miles receives in a
year at this rate quantity of heat equal to

the burning of nine thousand millions tons
of coal; that is to say, nine times the total
quantity of coal mined in Europe and Amer
lea in twelvemonth.
Many contrivances for the employment
of this radiant energy have been tried, and
experiments in that line are even now in
progress on a considerable scale in the Sa-
hara. The most promising machines thus
far devised for the purpose are so arranged
as to convert sun power INTO electricity.
Ciamician expresses the opinion that even
tually "photoelectric batteries, as he calls
them, will be established in desert regions,
transmitting the energy of the sun over wires
to great distances for mechanical or other uses.
There are still the possibilities of the tides
to be considered. The energy they repre-.
sent, available every day in the year, is well
nigh incalculable Contrivances for utilizing
it have been uniformly unsuccessful thus
far; but the same thing might have been
said of flying machines half dozen years
ago. The problem of human fight has been
solved after thousands of years of unsuc-
cessful effort. Sooner or later, and in all
likelihood before very long, we shall solve
the problem of Harvesting the tides and con-
verting their energy into electricity for man.
ufacturing and other purposes.
In this case, of course, it IS the energy OF
the moon-her attraction, that IS to say
that we propose to turn to useful account.
But whether it be moon power or sun power,
the energy is ready at hand and inviting en-
ployment in unlimited quantities, furnished
free of cost by Nature herself. We have
merely to find out how to utilize it in order
to be enabled to dispense with coal for all
time to come AS have said, man has only
begun to invent; and we may confidently
look forward to discoveries along these lines
in the near future that will elevate our civil
cation to another plane, ushering in an en-
tirely new epoch in the development of
civilization epoch of Electricity.
