LAVIGNE9s RING CAREER BEGAN A QUARTER OF A
 CENTURY AGO TO-DAY.

George Lavigne, 'tthe Saginaw Kid," considered by many fight fans the greatest lightweight in the lnis- tory of the ring, began his profession al pugtlistic career just a quarter of a century ago to-day, in 1889, when he fought one of the longest and hardest battles ever witnessed in America. A novice at the game, brief of stature and light of weight, he was pitted against a veteran much taller and heavier than himself, Geo. Siddons. famed in boxing annals as ssthe Iron Man" Siddons had seldom been beaten, and his gameness and durability made his sobriquet an ap- propriate one. Yet the best Siddons could do against the eighteen-year-old
 Saginaw Kid'' was to get a draw at the end of seventy-seven grilIing rounds-seventy-sev This battle, Lavigne's first was pulled off in his native town of Saginaw Mich, where he had been born in 1871. Sfddons was naturally dissatisfied with the re- suit, and asked Lavfgne for a return match, which was fought in Grand Rapids 8 few weeks after the first. An other drawn battle was the result, af- ter hfty-fve rounds of smashing give and take. Lavigne, who was lately reported to be in very reduced circum- stances, having dissipated the fortune he won in the ring, was of French Ca nadian descent. Squat of physique, ne was almost as broad as .hezWaS tall. His early muscular development was gained in chopping down trees in the northern woods and loading heavy sacks Of salt on the barges at Sagin- aw. After the Siddons bouts the Sag fnaw Kid defeated Jack Everharde, Andy Bowen, Johnny Griffin and other good men, Bowen dying from injuries received in the ring. Lavigne's most memorable performances were his two victories over Joe Walcott, and his defeat of Dick Burge, the great Eng- fish boxer. Burge had an advantage Of some twenty-five pounds, but the short little French-Canadian whipped him with ease. The ssBarbadoes De- mon,'' although weIterweight, fought many middleweights and heavyweight during his long ring career, and de-
 feated so good a heavy as Joe Choyns- Xxi, yet he was unable to hold his own with Lavigne, the Hghtweig ight. As Lavigne defeated Wa1cott, and the Black Demon whipped Choynski and Joe knocked out Jack Johnson
 the Saginaw Kid may claim to have
 been a better man than the present heavyweight champion. Lavigne held the lightweight titlesa4which was sl1r- rendered to him by Jack McAuliffe
 for i've years, from 1894 to 1899, los ing it to Frank Erne.

WILL STACK WHEAT
Many Farmers VIII Put Wheat in
Stacks Before Threshing

"There will be more wheat stack
ed in Dickinson county this year
than ever before" said prominent
wheat grower to q Reflector repre-
sentative this morning. "He will get
it threshed from the stack after 1t
is thoroughly dry for cent less a
bushel than he can get 1t done out
Of the shock for now, and besides
he will get quite bit more grain
as the straw will be tough and damp
and the wheat will not shell as
freely. The grain can be stacked at
leisure and not so many teams need
ed as when the threshing is done out
of the shock. Besides 1t is a most
convenient way to hold wheat and
the price this fall is bound to be
higher than it is now"
The labor problem is not worry
ing many farmers. Some Of them
with small fields are doing all Of
their own work, not shocking until
the fields are entirely cut. This week
will see nearly every acre in the
county cut and the demand for
hands will materially lessen. Pre-
vailing wages are $3.50 a day and
board, which the farmer thinks is a
good price.
