BOXING-ALL THE LATEST DOPE BASEBALL
Freddie Welsh Trounces Joe Rivers
Challenges Packey Mcfarland.

Freddie Welsh, British lightweight,
is no whirlwind as rough-and-tum-
BILE fighter, but his bout with Joe Riv-
ers in Los Angeles yesterday proves
that he is one of the best boxers in
the class headed by Willie Richie.
Welsh completely baffled Rivers by
his cleverness and speed. The Mexi-
can was unable to penetrate the de-
Tense of the Englishman and could
not escape the rain of left iabs that
pecked away at him and slowly wore
away his powers of resistance.
A left was WeIsh's best blow. He
jabbed away at, Rivers, now and then
bringing the Mexican into clinch,
when he cut loose a right that did
damage to the kidneys.
In only one round could Rivers be
given the advantage. Two were COM
paratively even and Welsh had clear
lead in seventeen.
After the fight Rivers admitted
Welsh was too clever for him. He
praised the Englishman as the fash
lest lightweight in the game.
Freddie now wants to take on
Paekey Mcfarland and has offered to
make terms if the stockyards man
will make within ten pounds Of his
weight. He also took occasion to
roast Willie Richie, saying he was
the superior of the champ, but
couldn't show it, as Richie was
afraid to give him fight.
Willie Richie will appear at the |
l. A. C. Saturday night as one of the |
features OF wrestling show, and will |
exhibit few punches with sparring
partner.
Battling Levinsky outpointed Sail.
or Fritz, champion of the navy, in ten !
rounds at New York. Fritz had a
powerful punch, but I evinsky kept |
him from using it effectually.

Local Boys Show Class With the

Two young local diamond aspirants

port, and have a fine chance of
sticking as regulars in the crew of
major, minor and semi-pro players
who will perform on the North Side
this summer.
They are Leo KaVanaugh, short
stop, and Johnny Farrell, second
base.
KaVanaugh, of course, will not get
the regular berth at short, that being
reserved for Manager Tinker. But
the youngster, if he continues at the
pace he has already set viii at least
be retained as utility man.. If some
other team in the circuit shows up
with hole at short Kavanaugh may
be transferred, as he can be kept on
the bench only because of Tinker's
presence.
Playing with the Fed seconds
against Centenary College yesterday
he poled two doubles and a single,
and fielded his position up to the
hilt. His fiashy defensive work last
year on the North Side brought him
scores of followers.
Farrell, who was with the local
Feds last summer, is being worked at
second base, and has a swell chance

problems and difficulties of your own

I heard story once of a Scotch
minister who, good man, was rath-
er long-winded. One day, looking
down to the end of the church, he
saw parishioner sleeping sweetly.
Stan up. Sandy McGucking," he
cried. "stan' up" And Sandy. stand

ing down at the family pew saw his
own wife sleeping more soundly than
Sandy.
Now there is good deal in that
LUX nearer hame," for it is the
only way in which we can see the
faults to be corrected, the virtues
to be cultivated. And when you
Americans do look nearer home how
can you fail to be proud of your
country? Surely there is no other
land In the whole wide world. which
has stronger claims on the loving
pride and loyalty of her children!
Her natural beauties, her industries,
her wonderful opportunities for edu-
cation, her marvellous progress and
development, and, above all, her
history and her spirit. When op-
pressed by the unjust laws of the
foreigner she rose up, tiny minor
ity, and in brave fight shooff off the
yoke; then, learning sympathy from
her own suffering, she opened wide
her arms to all who were down.
trodden and raised her flag, a SYM
Dol of liberty, to all the world. Your
forefathers, who were ground down
by injustice, left their homes and
came across the sea, finding that
which was denied them in their ma
tive land-liberty and the oppor-
tunity to work out their way to hap
piness. You, their children, who
were born free, cannot realize the
blessing to the full. You who have
never lived beneath an alien flag
cannot quite appreciate what it
means to see your own flag flying
free before the whole earth, but some
joy, some pride you surely must feel,
and feeling it, remember what that
flag has cost and what it symbolizes
1T is the flag Of the free. Then re-
calling what Truth itself has said,
1.-The truth shall set you free," be
true so as to be worthy to retain your
freedom-true to God, true to your
selves, true to your country-so, be-
ing worthy, not of contempt but of
respect, you, women of America, will
help her to be truly great.

Agriculture on Increase
in Ireland


w. j. McHale, writing from Bally-
castle, Ireland. to the Minneapolis
Journal, gives an extensive account
of agricultural conditions in Ireland.
Agriculture, says Mr.. McHale is fast
coming to the front in Ireland, but
the most marked advances have been
made within the last few years. So
great are the changes that have
taken place, the oldest inhabitants
say there is no comparison between
the conditions of to-day and forty
years ago. The changes are due
principally to the reduced rents, to
the fact that they are stable and not
raised at the caprice of the landlord,
as they used to be, and, above all, to
the fact, that the farmer now may
own land.
Everywhere one goes on this
island appear green fields of oats and
barley and wheat and potatoes are to
be seen. Owing to the climatic con-
ditions here and the general rough
ness of the land, these fields are
cultivated with labor unknown to
the more fortunate farmer of Mime
sofa and the Middle western states.
In some places green fields of grain
may be seen high up on the noun
tain sides where the slope is SO great
one would think a heavy rain would
wash the loose ground away. Little
machinery can be employed in some
of these places, so that the farmer is
reduced to the extremity of doing
practically all of the work by hand.
In spite of the steepness of the
slopes where the cultivation is car
ried on, one scarcely ever sees a
ditch in Ireland. The reason seems
to be that they do not have the heavy
downpours of rain that are known in
Minnesota. The showers are fire.
