BENNY KAUFMAN
 STEADY CLIMBER

Benny Kaufman. the Phfladelp1nia featherweight, who has been making his home in Columbus, Ohio. for some time past, has gradually been climb ing to the top of the ladder and his
 manager Nick Albanese wants to match Benny against any man in the world up@to 124 pounds. Benny had a real tryout when he fought K. O. Mars the Cincinnati boy, who was consider ed quite a sensation during the past winter According to the Columbus papers the contest was a. good draw, but Nick claims that the other side beat him to the wires and had the report go out that Mars shaded Ka.uf- man. It is only one more illustration of managers trying to boost their fighters by sending out reports which are coIored to suit themselves.

How Frank Chance Stopped Pitcher
 Who Wanted To Jump Contract

It is said that a prominent pitcher of the New York Americans had agreed to jump to the Federals if the courts sustained the outlaws in the Johnson case. This pitcher brought suit against the Yankees demanding the club give him a new contract or his release within ten days. Manager Chance got after the player and de- manded to know what kick he had coming. 'I ain't got no kick" said the player, but a fellow ought to be able to go home if he wants to.'' Chance replied, GO home if you want to. I'll pay the fare out of my own pocket" That night when he read of the Johnson decision the pitcher chang ed his tune. He called Chance up and said. Say, Boss, T guess don't want to see the old fdIks after all. I'd like to go in and pitch against Walter Johnson tomorrow.

Notes.

The second week of the 1914 Frater- nal league race finds Adelphian and Wheeler setting the pace with Harris, Moose, K. of c. and Konck. pressing them close Marina and .Wowompon disputing the cellar position. These latter teams have been materially strengthened since the last game and much better results are expected from them. Adelphia. appears to be a shade stronger than most of the other teams at present, with the addition of Nich- oIs. Coles and Roback Mohs ably fills Treats position behind the bat Wheeler was not looked upon as a championship contender at the begin ming but the manner in which they disposed of their two first opponents makes 1t appear that they were de- cideded underestimated and should Manager Thomas team continue in their present form they will be well up in the race when the season comes to a close
 Their strong batting is the secret of their present success. Harris shapes up well and present a much stronger lineup than in 1913. With the present lineup and form this club should finish easily in the first division. It would not do to speak of championship teams at this stage of the journey. The Knights, by giving Adelphian such a battle proved themselves a, strong fac tor in the race and Manager Brennan is to be congratulated on getting such a. team together in such short time, when it is considered some of the oth- CT clubs have been building up for several seasons.
 Konckapotanauh are beyond doubt the fastest fielding team in the league, though they do not seem to hit up to form. If this team continues their almost phenonina1 fielding and inn prove in their batting even in a slight degree they will be sure of a, first division berth. Marina and Wowom- pon are not as weak as some believe. Managers White and Rogers are hay ing battery troubles and it is well known that a. team will always look weak where the battery is not up to what it should be. When Bill Kearns gets into action with Wowompon and Nolan rounds into the form he is cap able of the story will be different. Catcher NcCabe, of Marina has trou- ble with d1is arm and will be replaced at least temporarily. White has War go. one of the 'city's best, he can use when he wishes to rest.

HAS A FRACTURED JAW
Joke" Robertson HAS Encounter With Buzz
Saw and Gets the Worst of 1t.


John Robertson, who succeeded his
brother, Alex Robertson, as manager
Of the Langdon wood yard, when the
latter left for Minneapolis this fall
to enter Macalister college, met with
quite bad accident about five O'Clock
on Monday afternoon while cutting up
an order OF stove wood for customer
with the power circular saw. The
stick of wood he was cutting slipping
from his grasp was violently thrown
when it struck the saw, the full force
of the flying length of wood striking
Robertson square on the chin, causing
bad fracture Of the jaw bone and
for the moment knocking him sense
less. There was also bad flesh wound
which exposed the bone Of the jaw,
which required quite painful opera
tion to put into shape. He has also
lost several front teeth and no less
than nine stitches had to be taken to
draw the wound in the flesh together.
He is doing as well as can be expect
ed, but will be laid up for some little
time before he will be able to be
around again.

NOVEL INVENTION
Il
Sam Rice's Combined Harvester.
Thresher to Have Field Trial
on Tuesday Afternoon

Every farmer reader of the Demo-
crat should give careful reading to
the announcement to be found on an
other page which tells of the demon
stration which is to be given the COM
bined harvester and thresher, which
is the invention of Mr.. Sam Rice, and
will be held on the farm of his father
Mr.. Joseph Rice, % miles north of
Iona on Tuesday afternoon of next
week the Goth inst, at half past two
o'clock in the afternoon. The in
vention of Mr.. Rice is one that in pre-
liminary demonstrations already made
has shown by field trial, that it les
sens the labor and expense in the har-
vesting and threshing of the crop in
the fall, when the use of both time
and machinery means dollars to the
farmer. The cut which accompanies
the ad gives to the reader clear idea
of the working plan of the invention
of Sam Rice, one of the younger far
mers of this part of Cavalier county,
whose invention in addition to revo-
lutionizing the old and laborious me-
thod of taking off the crop, also
promises to make the fortune of the
inventor.

CORN HUSklNi Be
or CLYDE FARMER
{. Z. Hammond Husks Field of Corn
Yielding Thirty-Six Measured
Bushels Per Acre

According to the report brought by
j. w. Haw, Of the better farming
association on his return to town last
Thursday, there was regular corn
husklng bee of the down east kind at
the c. E. Hammond farm near Clvde.
The event took place the day previous
and resulted in some 36a measured
bushels of Northwestern Dent corn
being husked from an acre tract of
land which a son of Mr. Hammond
has entered in the state agricultural
college one acre yield corn contest.
The corn was thoroughly ripened and
after being husked was stored in bins
and will be in demand as seed for 1915
in Cavalier county. The husking bee
at Clyde is another example of the
results which have attended the
efforts of Mr.. Haw and others of the
better farming movement to start
Cavalier county farmers on the right
track, viz: Raising corn both as a
fodder and grain crop. What was
done last week ou the Hammond farm
at Clyde can be done with equal sue
cess on any farm in Cavalier county.
