Ihave tried to select fair judges
to make the decisions and believe
that they have been conscientious
in making these awards. Should
the contest have been based en-
tirely on the greatest yield per
acre the results would have been
different, but Prof. G. A. Cobb,
who is at the head of the boys
corn club work in the state, had
given directions earl. in the year
that all contests would be based
as above.
regret that the seasons were
not favorable for the work this
year. but | think that the boys
made a good showing for the
wear. Aubrey Rogers, Planters
vile. takes the lead in the great
est yield per acre for the year
with nearly 81 bushels on his
acre.
Another year | will devise
some other plan for measuring
the corn so that there will be no
expense for the boys III having
this done. A number of the
boys failed to have their corn
measured by the committee AS
they did not care to pay the fee
of So. 90 to the committee. AS
all of this fund is paid out q .
cording to law and must be done
so, it is absolutely necessary to
have the same committee meas
ure for all, but | hope to plan to
: do this another year without any
cost to the h0ys.

SPORTING COMMENT

er in foreign lands, many a rat
tle-brained kid of the third and
fourth class in his division has
taken the trip to Europe, very
much to his sorrow. Just the
other day a bunch of them re-
turned from England absolutely
broke, but rich in the experience
they gained during the trip. In
the party that returned were
Young Kid Broad, Benny Kauf-
man and Johnny Mayo. Accord
ing to one of the Philadelphia
papers, they went to Europe at
the behest of a gambler who saw
some profit in the jaunt for him
self only.
AND that's exactly the way the
II trip turned out. The boys
found that there was no more
money in Europe for the fighter
than there is in America, and in
many places not nearly as much.
In addition, they were eaten alive
with training expenses, and in a
country where they did not speak
nor understand the language of
the native it was mighty poor
pickings for them.
EVEN the better grade of fight
- er finds that there is little in
a European trip. Frank Moran,
who is one of the best of the
American white heavyWeights,
has gone broke several times try
ing to scare up match on the
other side, and even the negro
heavies, who have been battling
in Paris and England, find that
there isn't much fat picking.
ACCORDING to the story of one
a Of the returning party, if il
hadn't been for the kindness of
Sam Langford and his manager,
Joe Woodman. they never would
have been able to get out of
France, and would still be there,
with some huge bills for board
staring them in the face. And
now they are telling all other
American fighters to let well
enough alone and stick to their
own firesides.

THICAGO, Jan. III axe a squlnt
at the buried ace in the hands
of organized baseball.
The Federal League is to have a
club on the North Side, with Joe
Tinker at the head. All right! Or
eanfzed baseball sits back and
watches developments. If the third
league is a frost, there is a loud guf-
faw. Everybody says he knew it
and a few real stars wonder how in
the world they are going to break
into the organized game.
But if it is a go from the start,
then watch organized baseball The
residents of the North Side wake MP
some fine morning and discover that
they have two clubs in their vicinity
where they had but one. The Fed
era is still there. But organized
baseball has thrown another club
into the -itory.
Get the idea? If the North Side
Rub begins to cost the SoX and the
Cubs too much money, the Fedora Is
will have competition right at their
door. And you can wager that the
opposition will be the kid that Will
hurt, too. Said opposition will be
represented by ball club that con-
sains some stars, and strong enough
10 give the third league club run
for It's life.
TT may be a loser. But organized
baseball will be called upon -
pocket the loss. And when that is
prorated it won't amount to SO much
al that
The scheme is under considerat ton.
Even the league which will produce
she team has been discussed. It's
gone further than that, and the team
In the league has been considered.
More than that, baseball men have az
idea that Gunther Park could be Sc
cured as a site for the fight.
Il may be the Minneapolis CLUB
which will be brought into this vi
entity to give battle to the Federais,
or 1t may he the st. Paul team. Botn
are OF the American Association.
Here is the scheme. Surprising thet
the Fedora is a go from the start and
1t becomes evident that the third team
i going to cut into the American and
National League clubs. There's a
meeting of men in organized base
BAH, one of these teams is selected to
make the fight, with the consent o.
the owner, of course.
He shows what he did in financial
II way with his team the previous
year Then he is instructed to go
along, throw his team into the North
Side. and if there is deficit it will
come from the war fund. He'll he
guaranteed against any possible loss
end will be assured of earning just
as much as if he remained in his own
arritory,
on top of that, he will be given
bail team that will put up the brand
Of baseball that the third ieague does.
The practical baseball man knows
mat the fan does not care a great
deal what the color of the uniforms
are or to what league the club belongs
10 as long as the baseball. is on dis
play.
That's the ace in the hole and the
men in organized baseball believe that
second club on the North Side
would draw sufficiently to make the
Tederals a bad investment.
In which event they would be well
satisfied even if they were compelled
20 dig into their pockets and make
up loss for their own team.

VEN if the doubling ones do
lot accept Gunboat Smith

r. lot accept Gunboat Smith
as the real thing among the
white heavyweights of the day,
the Gunner can claim the honors
for a little while at least. Luther
McCarty was the last man to hold
clear deed to the title, and as
Pelky was the last man TO bat
tie him, he had as good a claim
to the title as anybody. Now
that Smith has disposed of Pelky,
his path is clear. About the only
man thought to stand in the Gun
boats way in the least is Jess
Willard, and only last August
Smith defeated him in a twenty
round battle out on the Pacific
coast.
THERE'S one admirable thing
1 about Smith that should en-
dear him to the fight fans, He
has the punch and isn't afraid to
use it. He is aggressive and
fights all the time, although the
accounts of his battle with Pelky
would indicate that he used more
than his usual amount of caution.
He simply wanted to make sure
of it-that's all.
CHANGING over the field, there
N isn't much in sight in this
country right now for Smith, and
we wouldn't blame Jim Buckley,
his manager, much if he sought
foreign shores for game There
is a nice purse awaiting Smith on
the other side with Georges Car
