WoLGAST COMES BACK
Defeated ssRudy" Unholz in Second
ROund-At ADS Mercy.

Fond du Lac. Wis, Jan. 30.-Ru-
dolph unholz, former Boer, was
knocked out last night by Ad Wolgast.
former lightweight champion. in the
second round of a scheduled ten round
bout after game, but hopeless fight
Unholz took the count of nine four
times in the first round and once in
the second and was reeling helplessly
around the ring when, after one min
ute and thirty-five seconds of fighting
in the second round, his seconds
tossed a towel into the ring.
Unholz weighed in at 127 pounds.
Wolgast refused TO strip and weigh in
public, but both weighed in before the
state commission before entering the
ring.
Wolgast apparently had the Boer at
his mercy at all times. At the open
ing Of the second round Unholz in a
desperate effort to land a lucky punch,
forced the fighting for a minute, after
which Wolgast opened an attack
which drove Unholz to the mat.

JAkE'S JUNK.

Members of the press and managers
of the Western League have consider
able more confidence in Dale Gear than
formerly and expect him to have rat
Ting good team this season. They are
familiar with his success in developing
players last season which resulted in
the Topeka club getting more money
by the sale route than any other club
on the circuit Gear has sold as many
players to major league teams as any
minor league manager.
The fans and local management also
have more confidence in Gear. If Gear
fills the bill as he is expected to, and
this department believes he will, all
this talk about Topeka being poor
baseball town will have been quieted-
Gear has the rudiments for a much
better team than he had last year. On
paper, the men line up stronger than
at any time last year. even when the
Kaws were going their best. IT the
players deliver the form that is ex-
pected of them, there Will be no chance
to keep them out of a desirable place
in the first division. As for a pen
nant winner, Gear does not claim it
and the fans of Topeka do not want it
not now.
The Federals do not appear to be
having as much luck in using the
time of players who belong to teams
under the national agreement as a few
weeks ago. OF course the major league
managers have been busy and have a
large number of their players signed.
The players also have begun to re-
duce their opinion as to the sta bility
of the outlaws and are not as anxious
to ssdicker'' with them as a short time
ago..

FARM DEMONSTRATION AGENT
WICKER RETURNS FROM ATH.
EMS READY TO PUT INFORMA.
TION TO PRACTICE USE
CORN CLUB BOYS
URGED TO JOIN
Better to Sell Their Corn on Four Legs
As Pork Than on -Four Wheels.

David Wicker, farm demonstration
agent and corn club director for Sum,
ter county, has returned from Athens
where he attended the short course il
agriculture offered by the state uni.
versity. Wicker is enthusiastic over
the work at the state university and
says that he is going to put the infor-
nation he got there to practical use in
Sumter county.
One of the first things that he will
do will be to oragnize a pig club for
the boys and canning club for the
girls of the county. The work of or
ganizing will be begun Immediately.
q was surprised at the reports mad
by canning club girls at the gathering
in Athens" he said. "One girl report
ed that she cleared $135 net profit on
one-tenth of an acre during the past
summer. That beats cotton all hol-
low, and we are going to give it a try
out in Sumter. There are enough veg
etables thrown away in Sumter county
every summer that could be saved to
provide canned goods for Americas all
winter. Membership in one of these
canning clubs is like having STOCK N
a big money producing business.
I'm organizing the pig club, l want
to extend an especially cordial inv;-
tation to every member of the corn
club to join. l want them to feed their
corn to hogs and market it as pork.
I'm order to join a pig club it is
necessary to own ~ thoroughbred
gilt according to the explanation of
Wicker. The sows can be any strain;
all that is necessary is that they be
thoroughbreds. The state has made
with a big stock man to
furnish these pigs at $40, instead Of
$25. Amy club of ten boys will be Civ
en- male free of charge,
The rules that govern the pig clubs
are similar to corn club rules. The
department of agriculture has agreed
TO furnish hog cholera serum free #
charge to members of the pig club.
Mr.. Wicker is anxious to hear from
every hoy in the county who wants to
join the pig club and from every girl
in the county who wants to join the
canning club. Letter addressed to
him care of the Times Recorder will
receive prompt attention.

Early Morning Blaze Wiped

Mr.. Lasco Harvey, whose fine farm Is

had the misfortune yesterday morning
% Use his barn by fire, together with
all o. it's contents, consisting of corn
hay end feedstuff, wagons and all farm
ing utensils, the flames making a
clean sweep before anything could be
saved from the burning building,
Besides the feedstuff, wagons, etc,
three fine mules and horse persisted
in the fire, the affrighted animals re-
fusing to leave their stalls as the
flames swept about them.
Mr.. Harvey, who is a brother Of
Deputy Sheriff Lusiuc Harvey, of
Americas, did not know how the fire
originated, unless from a spark, as a
small fire had been burning during the
afternoon in a field near the barn. A
spark, possibly, may have lodged il
the building and smouldered during
the early night, only to break into
blaze later. The loss is complete, as
the building was not insured
Two of the mules were purchased
quite recently at a cost of nearly $500
Besides the other grain and hay in the
barn, 500 bushels of corn were de-
stroyed The total loss will probably
reach $4,000 or $4,000.
