when he happened into San Francisco
and threw in his lot with the fellows
/ who make a speciality of four round
bouts.
Now this branch of fistic sport in
San Francisco is considered a hard
school for young fighters The fell
! lows who engage IN 1t box week IN
and week out, and while there are no
championships involved, the average
Friday nighter recognizes that the
only way he can retain a hold on the
esteem Of the patrons and keep in
good standing with the maJChmakerS
is to acquire a reputation for whirl-
wind milling 1t is an old saying in
San Francisco: Championship bouts
give me the Friday night shows"
1t was in such company that Billy
Murray fought his way into the good
graCes of the local sports. He ham
mered the toughest of the Friday
night middIeWeights to a FRAGILE and
Jim COffroth, who always has his eyes
open for the best in the market
grabbed him and matched him with
HOuck.
Uses Composite Style.
Murray's style of boxing might be
called composite. He is thoroughly at
home when standing and sending in
long range punches and when he
closes with an opponent he changes
gear in an instant and is as busy as
either Battling Nelson or Ad WOlgaSt
in their best days.
He is so effective at both out fight
ing and in fighting, in fact, that it
would puzzle one to say in which he
he eXcels. I know that when I saw
him among the four FOUNDERS, I
thought he was at his best when
fighting from range. After seeing
him with HOuck, however, I feel that
close work was his forte.
Does Little FefntinE.
A noticeable thing about Murray is
that he feints very little. Once within
striking distance he lashes out and it
is a rare thing to see his straight left
miscaTry.
One great thing in Murray's favor
is that he has all the assurance and
confidence of a man who has bean
years at the game His courage is
undOubted and if the affair with
Houck is any criterion he assimilates
wei.
A number of his well wishers seem
to think it would be a mistake to send
him against a man like Clabby until
he has had more experience. but these
are being talked down by 4 larger
number who believe that he will de-
feat Clabby as surely as he defeated
HOuck- These latter appear to think
that C1abby lacks Tuggedness.

i've cities But now since the Federals
have shown that they really mean business,
Somers has decided to shift the American
association team from Toledo to Cleveland
He's doing it not so much because he wants
to provide continuous baseball for the Cleve-
land fans as he is to fOrestall an invasion
Of the Federals.
May Transfer Newark Team.
Charles H. Ebbets, owner o. the Brook
Ign National and the Newark International
league clubs never gave a thought to trans
fering the Newark team to Brooklyn IN
til it was rumored that the Federals would
put a team in Brooklyn Now he's giving
team to Brooklyn to play there when the
Dodgers are not at home. Ebbets realizes
that the Newark club will not draw as well
in Brooklyn when competing against the
Federals as it would have drawn in Newark
where it had not competition but he is will
ing to stand whatever loss is occasiOned
simply for the sake Of cutting into the at
tendance Of the Federal leagUers.
The Federal leagUers viii charge major
association and International league prices
are somewhat less. And both Somers and
Ebbets figure that the fans given choice
OF seeing the Federals perform at high
prices and the class "A teams perform at
moderate prices, viii choose to pay the
smaller price.
Chicago Has Lots Of Baseball.
Although Chicago is pretty well cluttered
up now with major league clubs, having
representation in the American, National
and Federal league, the ruling powers in
organized baseball would have placed an
American association team in that city
transferring the St Paul franchise to Chi
cagO. If Charles Webb Murphy had not made
a protestant won Organized baseball
wanted to put an American association team
in Chicago, not because it felt that fandOm
in Chicago would support it, but simply as
one way of fighting the Federals-
Another Big League Threatened.
The organized people long have cOntended
there is room for only two major leagues.
And yet they now are planning the Organi-
zation Of a fourth big league. They are
planning it not because they think there is
a demand for it, but simply to have It act
as a club against the Federals
Aren't these trust methods?
Until the advent Of the federal league the
organized baseball people paid their play
ers just whatever salaries they wished The
demands or the worth Of the player did not
figure. 1t was the magnate who decided
and that decision meant that the player got
just as small a salary as possible.
But when the Federals came along and
offered big salaries the organized people
knew then it was case Of .'lOOsening up"
or losing those players And in many cases
they almost doubled the salaries Of their
players. They did it not because their play
ers had doubled in value, in their estima-
ton, but merely because they used trust
methods
Up to the present time the Federals have
been waging a merry little war on organ
lied baseball The chances now are that
the Federals will rise to major league
power-that in a year or so they will dem
Onstrate to the baseball public that they
are worthy foes Of organized baseball

We do not know much about the
roads in some of the lower districts,
but suppose there are taxpayers down
there that are not acquainted with
the roads up here. For their benefit
we would say the roads in the Sixth
are harder to mend and to keep up
than any of the others. There has
not been any of the tax money wasted
Supervisor Cameron has given a
business-like administration, and we
believe if he still continues in Office,
that the roads in the Sixth will be a
credit to the county, and will not cost
any more to keep up than some OF
the others. We say: give credit when
and where it is due. Anyone taking
a drive over the roads, can perceive
the marked improvement, and will ap-
prove of our statement.

LET THE THING COME RIGHT

THE Resolutions, adopted at the
Farmers Day meeting last Saturday
and printed on another page, would
seem to indicate a feeling that the
Legislature of Maryland must be
"jacked up" to make larger and suffi-
Gent appropriations for the Maryland
Agricultural College. We think that
is misunderstanding of the situation.
The last Legislature made an appro-
priation of S950,00O for two years
($175,OOO per year)) to the College,
conditioned upon o. the title being
vested in the State, (2) the charter
and curriculum being approved by the
U. S. Dept. of Agriculture, 81 the
withdrawal of the old private stock
holder trustees. This program was
agreed to by all parties as reasonable
and right. At the last moment the
College trustees and some of its Off
cial family amended the Bill, so as to
strike out some of these provisions;
whereupon the House of Delegates
promptly turned the Bill down, as thus
amended.
The people of this State have been
pouring thousands of dollars of the
taxpayers money into the Md. Agri-
cultural College, and not getting the
results to which they are entitled 1t
was felt, and properly, we think, that
the time has come to stop this sort OF
thing, and if the money of the people
of Maryland is to be used for an Ag--
ricultural College, the State should
have title to the same and should or
ganize and control it along agricul-
tural lines.
We have no apology to make for
our part in this affair in the last Leg
islature. We would do the same thing
again and will do it, until the thing
comes right. We are not engaged in
throwing away the peoples money.
The subjoined letters, from Mr..
VIM. NJ. Elliott, Chairman of the
Agricultural Commission of the City,
Wide Congress, will show that the in
terest of that institution is an intel!i-
gent interest in securing for Mary
land proper agricultural development
and an efficient agricultural College.
With that aim intelligent agricultural
interests ought to sympathize and
cooperate.

More Pay For Rural Mail Carriers

A new salary schedule for rural
mail carriers throughout the country
went into effect Saturday last by an
order promulgated by Postmaster
General Burleson in accordance with
the recent act of Congress providing
81 200 as the maximum annual pay
for carriers.
Heretofore the unit of compensation
upon which carriers salaries were
based included only tile numcer OF
miles travelled, but under the new
schedule consideration is to be given
of the time REQUIRED to travel such
mileage and to the amount of service
rendered by the carrier.
Under the new schedule the basis of
computation for maximum compensa-
ton requires the transportation of one
parcel-post package a day or the max
imum weight or its equivalent of other
mail matter over the lengy:l OF stan
dard route of 81 miles. In the event
of failure to do so, however, the car
rier would be entitled to the limit of
compensation if he handled an average
of 400 pieces of mail daily.
The order further provides that on
routes less than the standard length,
where carriers have received less than
the former maximum pay of 81 100
year, an increase or decrease of S12
per annum greater OF less ;lan the
schedule pay shall be made to or from
the prescribed salary for such routes
for each 1000 pieces, and for each
100 pounds of mail handled monthly,
up to the maximum of 81 200 per an
mum. 1t also stipulates that an allow
ance of So per year shall be made for
each closed pouch or sack of mail
transported by carriers to rural post
offices.
The Postmaster General declared
that the order was step toward
greater efficiency of the rural mail
service and the elimination to large
extent of the enormous disparity be-
tween receipts and expenditures in
this service.

Ny Dear DR.. Dohme:-i am very
much relieved to learn, by letter from
Mr.. Littieg that you are on the pro-
gramme of the Port Deposit meeting
on the Sth Aug. The meeting has
caused me much uneasiness as | felt
that the effort in the direction of
harmony would be very likely to OBJ
scure the principle for which our Ag-
ricultural Committee has been striv
ing, namely: the reorganization and
redirection of the College so a. to
make it serve in the first manner, the
agricultural, horticultural and rural
interests of the State as stated,
think on page 10 of the report.
Mr.. Huston, the secretary of agri-
culture, when Steffens, Peasants and
/ visited him. told US we were dead
right" Unfortunately under the var
ious bills appropriating money to the
Land Grant College the State is able
to carry on a mixed school in competi-
tion with other State colleges. and in
direct competition with the interest,

may be promoted away from the farm
which is, or has been, his great am
bition.
Since we have the Johns Hopkins
Engineering School, and plenty of
Academic schools and colleges, to fill
general requirements | do not not see
why our Agricultural College should
not devote itself entirely to restoring
and improving rural conditions.
The very fact that it stands No. 36
among Agricultural Colleges, and
even cannot supply our requirements
of Agricultural teachers in the county
high schools, is sufficient indication of
its need of a thorough reorganiza-
ton, and Fundamentally changes in
policy. You probably are aware that
it is two years below college Stand
ard, and that there is no accommodate
ton for women, in courses of house
hold economies. We're it not for the
wretched condition of my health, and
nerves, | should have felt it my duty
to be present at the meeting, but
since | was informed that you were to
represent us, and believing that you
are impressed with the Importance of
the issue, shall rest assured, that
the cause will not suffer.
With kindest regards 20 yourself
and Mrs. Dohme,
Sincerely yours,
