PLANTING SPONGES.
Methods of Making Them Grow In Use
on the Florida Coast.

Methods of Making Them Grow In Use
on the Florida Coast.
BiScayne bay, Sugar Loaf key, An.
clote keys and Key West. on the Flor.
ida coast, are the principal places in
this country where experiments in
sponge culture have been made The
various methods are as follows:
Seed" spOnGes are cut into small
pieces and. after having been attached
by wiring or spindle to circular or tri-
angular cement blocks, are dropped or
lowered depending upon the depth to
rest on the ocean bottom. where they
remain for a year or two until they
reach a size proper for commercial pur-
poses. They are then taken by the
hook, when new cuttings are attached
and the cement blocks let down again.
Another method was to string them
on a wire held horizontal by stakes
driven in the bottom. In doing this.
however. various difficulties arose The
sponges became loose and rotated on
the wire, eDlarging the hole made
through them. and the action OF the
salt water cOrroded and destroyed the
wires until. after many trials and ex-
periments, a lead wire with a copper
core was successfully used.-St Mich

7 D POSTPONE
WILLIAMS BOUT
By Sol Pick.

" HICAGO. ILL, June 2S.-Johnny
Coulon is not going to fight
Johnny kid" Williams, of Bal
timore, in Tom McCarey's Vernon
arena July %. The bantam cham
pion decided yesterday afternoon
that he was not prepared for such
stiff battle IN defense of his lau-
rels and announced that he would
wire McCarey last night insisting on
a postponement until Labor Day
Coulon had given McCarey his word.
and said he hated to disappoint Uncle
Tom. but allowed Il champion should
take no foolish chances and that he
would not fight Challenger Williams
until he knew he was physically fit
to put forth his best efforts in de-
Tense of the championship he has
held for over five years.
Two Months in Mountains.
Just to show the Vernon Club
promoter that I intend playing fair
ball for him I will leave for the
coast July l or a few days later and
stay there until LABOR Day" said
Johnny. II want to get two months
in the mountains before facing the
Williams party. l am sure that by
Labor Day l will be my old self,
able to show Mr.. Williams how a real
champion fights
My right hand is bad and am
low in weight because Of the hot
weather we have been having This
is the first summer | ever tried to
box, anyway, and l guess it is a mis-
take. When my father was alive he
never permitted me to fight in the
summer time. He argued that l was
such a little fellow, always giving
away weight. that training in the
hot months would get me down too
low. That was the trouble the other
night at Kenosha. I guess the dad
was right, and | will never again
book a big match for June. July or
August
TT will be cool and nice in the
mountains near Los Angeles and that
will be just the thing for me- l can
build up until a couple of weeks
before Labor Day and then have
something to take off when l start
the training camp grind for Williams.
Is Sorry for Williams.
Il am sorry for Williams because
the postponement will be hard on
him. He already is on the scene. so
Labor Day will make a long wait for
him. However. he might take on
Eddie Campi again on our original
date, July %, the winner to get me
on LABOR Day. Williams beat Campi
in Eddie's first long fight. Since that
Campi has whaled both Burns and
LedouX. | think he is entitled to
another chance at the Baltimore
boy"
