CORBETTPICKS RITCHIE TO
 WIN MATCH FROM CROSS
NiIbane Criticised For Making Oppon= ents Give Him Advantage In
 Weight

! dle-weight, is in town and would not object to a match with some good man. I am afraid, though, he will have time of it looking for bout around here unless Mike Gibbons comes forward as a volunteer. Good middle-weights> are scarce in this town. The West seems to have a. monopoly of the species.
 George Chip, Frank Klaus conque- TOT, has been invited to box in New York, but so far has not exhibited any great enthusiasm over the prop osition to appear in the metropolis. If McAllister is really anxious to show the big towners his skill he may have to take on heavy-weights.
 McA1lister is built on freakish lines. To give him the once over man would take him for a heavy weight. Still he says he can make 15s, and I understand he thas done so in San Francisco matches recently. saw Bob in an exhibition bout while was on the coast last Winter, and he look ed good to me. Of course, an exhibi- ton and a regular fracas are differ ent matters, but Referee Jim Griffin and others tell me NIcAllister has con$ siderable class. Willie Ritchie says, that the lightweight champion ought to be a good judge, that Bob can beat most white heavies he has seen.
 It is too bad the Wisconsin Boxing
 
 pend McGoorty for six months as Ed die would have been a good man GO test the ability and skill of the Cali fornian. But I understand that the local authorities will respect the rul- ing of their western brethren. which precludes the possibility of McGoor- tvs appearance here this Winter.
 Feather-weight Champion Kilbane is being subjected to much severe criticism for his unsportsananlilxe methods of making matches. John ny'S latest offense happened in Gin cinnati last week where he boxed a local boy called ''Knock-Out'' Mars It appears that Kilbane forced Mars to make the feather-weight limit of 122 pounds while he came in at catch weights It is said that the though the actual figures were not made public.
 As long as Kilbane can secure ali the matches he wants at his own terms and under his own conditions it is nobody's affair but his own. At the Same lime it is not a. dignif1ed sight to see legitimate champion looking for cinch matches all the time. However, Ki1bane is not the only champion, or near champion, who has made practice of dictating his opponents weights When a DOASE SetS LO Ine LOp or ms class he tries to get all the money he can in as short a time as possible and the etn-. fcs of the game are not always foi- lowed closely.
 As long as promoters will stand for such unfair matches the boys themselves can hardly be blamed It would be an easy matter for the Gin .cfnnati authorttfes-the game is su- pervised by a commission-to adopt a rule prohibiting bouts between boys in the smaller classes where more than say, five pounds difference in weight exists. There is a similar rule on the books here in New orlx, but I regret to say promoters do not always en- force it, leaving the matter in most cases to the boxers themselves.

 Secretary Bill Hanna is indignant at the tactics of the polo players who broke contracts with the Connecticut Polo league in order to sign with the American. Thompson, Hardy, Du- fresne, Duggan, Curtis, Cameron, Pence, Taylor. Blount and Mallory are among those who have signed with the Connecticut but are also included in the American league list.

TRY ALFALFA
College of Agriculture Will Prove 10
Farmers the Real Value Of
Alfalfa.

The college Of agriculture has been
telling the farmers Of the state about
the advantages of alfalfa for a mum
Der of years Most farmers now
readily agree j}1at alfalfa is one Of
the very best crops that could be
grown but many Immediately add mat
it won't grow on our land" Usually
this opinion IS not based on exper-
fence and is an opinion only The
college now proposes to demonstrate
to the farmer right on his own farm
that alfalfa will grow if given the
proper treatment.
To the first one hundred farmers
making proper application. a package
viii be sent which contains alfalfa
seed inoculated soil and the neces-
sary fertilizing materials When this
mixture is properly spread out over
one square rod of well selected and
well prepared soil to which has been
applied twenty-five pounds Of lime, ev-
cry factor for the successful growing
of alfalfa is present and if the sea
son be at all favorable stand OF al
falfa should readily be secured.
only these who are prepared TO
comply with the following conditions
should make application:
l. The applicant must own and OPP
crate the farm on which the alfalfa
is TO be established.
2 A plot of ground ! rod long and
l rod vide or rods long and one
half rod wide must be set aside in a
we'll drained field or garden where the
ground is fairly rich.
3. The plot must be situated
where chickens and stock will not in
iure it.
A. The ground must be plowed
deep, pulyerized and reduced to fine
tjlth Immediately after blowing. Then
add twenty-five pounds of lime. Work
the plot frequently to prevent any
growth of weeds Instructions for
preparation of soil will be sent cut
/ by the Agronomy Department as soon
as applications are received and ae-
copied
.. The farmer must agree to send
in report Of the results at the end
of three months and then again the
! following summer after the first har-
vest.
s. No application will be consider
ed later than August 1st
/ The success Of this small plot Of
alfalfa will do three things: first, it
viii establish beyond doubt that al
falfa will grow on the soil selected;
second, it will illustrate the methods
required to grow good alfalfa, and
third, it viii furnish a center from
which. inoculated soil for larger fields
may be obtained the next year
Persons desiring TO seed fields of
one or more acres Of alfalfa may have
/ the services and advice of an aiialfa
expert by writing to the Agri 1ltura'
