FEED SORGO.

Feed Sorgo has been known to
mature seed in sixty days. but
under ordinary conditions seven
ty five to eighty days are reqLir-
ed for it to mature. Because of
its early maturity, it is a salts
factory crop for growing in the
extreme western part of Kansas
and Eastern Colorado. in many
respects it resembles amber cane
but differs from it, in that the
stalks are not as juicy or as sweet
and that the grain is free from
the material that makes cane
seed undesirable for feeding pur-
poses. Extracts from letters of
the Kansas Agricultural College
Manhattan, Kansas. under date
of March 4 1914,
l have a limited amount Of this
seed which matured here last
year, when black cane, kafir corn
and milo failed to do so, and as
it grew every day during our hot
weather last summer, it cannot
be beaten for a drought resister

Gilmore Denies Feds Are After Cub
and Sox Athletes.

The inspired correspondent on the
Pacific coast who had been picking
up considerable loose change push
ing Buck Weaver and Jim Scott to
the Federal League will have to find
another way of padding the family
income to help out with the high
cost of living.
The same goes for stories to the
effect that Fred Mollwitz, Cub first
base candidate, will hop to the third
organization.
Authority for these statement is
President Gilmore of the Federal
League, who has returned from the
schedule meeting in Baltimore.
Gilmore enphaticaIIy denied that
negotiations were on or would be en-
tered into for the three players in
question. Following is the language
he used:
''If any club owner in the Federal
League is trying to induce Players
Scott and Weaver of the White Sox
and Mollwitz of the Cubs to Jump to
our organization he is disobeying my
orders and the deal win not be rati-
fed, and therefore these players will
not be permitted to play in the
league"
Nothing could be palmer than that,
and in the past the Fed leader has
made good on all of his statements of
Importance. Gilmore added that
probably the three players were
working bluff to hold up the club
owners who are paying them.
Of further interest. to local fans
was Gilmore's statement that Tom
Seaton, who last year pitched for
Philadelphia, would be member of
the Brooklyn staff during the coming
season. Seaton is at present with the
Chifeds in Shreveport and has said
he would not go to Brooklyn.
Gilmore's statement leaves him no

Murphy Passes Through Chicago On
Way to Meet Richie.

meets Lightweight Champion Willie
Richie in San Francisco April II,
passed through Chicago late yester-
day with his manager, Jim Buckley.
Buckley talked to Milwaukee pro-
motors and practically agreed to fight
Murphy in the Cream City some time
in May. Buckley also made a tenta-
tive agreement to let Gunboat Smith,
who is also under his management,
fill Milwaukee date with Bob Moha,
who whipped Battling LevinskN Mon
day night.
Murphy is not conceded much of a
chance against the champion by the
general run of critics But he is liable
to slip over surprise. If the original
fight between the pair had not been
postponed Murphy would have had
swell chance of switching the title.
He is older than Richie, has been in
active service longer and the let
down in training will harm him more
than the champion.
When fighter gets to certain
point each time he trains brings him
nearer to the stage when condition
ing work saps his vitality. Murphy
has been in the ring for IA years and
abs fought with regularity.
The Harlemite Is a. good fighter.
For fourteen years he has been try
ing for the championship, but this is
his first crack at the title. He is game,
fair puncher, clever and willing to
put up battle. Sailing is not in his
vocabulary.
All the conditions of the coming
fight work against the success of the
challenger The weight is fixed to
favor Richie and the two former
postponements also help the cham
pion. Murphy is probably doomed to
defeat, but he is a square little fellow
and has thousands of admirers who
will be pulling" for him.

RED LIGHT FINES
ARE CALLED CRAFT
Henderson Judge Says officials
Who Take Them Are Gull
pable as The Women.

Henderson. KY, July 16.-The
practicing Of licensing" houses of
illrepute by means Of regular fines
received a scoring in county court
here to-day by Judge S. A. Young.
who held that the officers and courts
that tolerate and perpetuate this
regular system of fines are as blam-
able as the women themselves.
Judge Young said that heretofore
he has not had the authority to break
up the practice but he believes that
he now has the authority and he pro-
poses to exercises it. He proposes
not only to stop the practice of fin
ing the women of the underworld but
he will drive them from the city, he
says.
His condemnation of public Off
cials connected with the fine system
was sensational.
