DON'T NEED MONEY.
Farmers and Local Banks Will Not
Have tn ROFr0Vw

Wichita. Kan. June s-"Farmers
Of Kansas are in g. better position,
financially, to take care of the wheat
crop than for several years." said C.
Q. Chandler. president of the Kansas
National bank. VERY few banks of
the small towns will need assistance
from the reserve banks for the dis
tricts of Oklahoma and Kansas. In
fact, practically no financial help will
be needed even by the farmers as the
majority OF them have money enough
to pay their harvest hands and pay
expenses until the new wheat is ready
for the market" continued Mr.. Chan
der.
AS a rule thousands Of dollars in
currency are shipped in each summer
before harvest.
1t was also the opinion of the Kan
sas banker that farm loans in Kansas
had not increased owing to crop fail
ures Of the past two years. He said
that shifting of loans and the cover
ing of short time notes, were RESPONSE
BILE for the showing Of loan agencies
However, he said that some men, espe-
cially some farmers. need money but
this call will be taken care of easily
by local banks.

Of the is Rounds.

Joplin. Mo-. June "a foul in the
ninth won a fifteen round bout for
Carl Morris from Jim Flynn here last
night. The blow came when the men
were mixing it severely. Morris went
down with much pain. Referee Eddie
Cochrane called it a foul and was sup
ported in his decision by club physi-
clans. who examined Morris in his cor
ner.
The bout was hard fought. Flynn
took much punishment, going down
three times in the sixth round for
counts Of nine and seven, but he would
always come back with a vim. He bled
profusely from blows to the face. Flynn
had but two rounds. drawing in a third.
He took the third and the eighth and
appeared stronger in the ninth than
did Morris. He sent Morris to his
knees with low blow in the third, but
Morris was up quickly and showed no
Ill effects. Morris sent blow after blow
to Flynn's face and body and many
times tried for a knockout, but he could
not put the steam behind his blows.

GOSSIP OF THE SPORTS

(By Jake Lewis, Ohicial Scorer.)
The major and Class IA clubs are
securing the country for pitchers and
have picked up few promising
strengthen their clubs. There Is not a
club in either Of the major leagues or
in the American association which is
satisfied with its pitching staff and the
scouts are chasing every point in the
country where youngsters are touted
as phenoms.
Rope Perry Of the Wichita club has
been sold to the Louisville club of the
American association in exchange for
two other pitchers and a cash consid-
GRAFTON. The names of the two
pitchers coming to the Wichita club
has not been given out.
This condition probably accounts
for conditions in the Western league,
or at least q part Of 1t. Not a West
ern league club is satisfied with its
pitching talent and all the managers
are limiting over the country for
youngsters.
The majors have a number of
youngsters who are not quite fast
enough for that company but would
league clubs. However, these major
league clubs will not release these
youngsters because they fear the
youngsters will jump to the Federal
league. This condition may be over
come when the courts get through
decision in the Killifer case is expect
ed Wednesday and then the Western
league may expect some assistance.
The Omaha club does not appear to
be such a rotten aggregation after all.

team won three out of four games.
Sandy Griswold contends that this
club must be reckoned with before
the season IL over and we are inclined
to believe that he is correct.
Tom Fairweather, part owner and
secretary Of the Des Moines club. last
week was defeated in the primary
! election for the nomination as state
senator. Ee had lived in Des Moines
but two years and is a law student
at Drake. He carried the city Of Des
Moines by more than 200 but ran be-
! hind in the county and was defeated
/ by less than 100 votes. 1t was pre-
viously announced that he had been
nominated.
Tom Fairweather is one Of the most
popular men in baseball in the West
ern league, and If he lives in Des
! Moines until tie next election and
| wants to run again for the senate, we
, predict his election as he has the hab-
! it Of making friends.
