Boonton called at the Evening Star
Office this morning to say that he was
going to be in great shape for his
fight with Lewis He declared that it
Was his ambition to defeat Banty de-
cisively, and he felt that he would
be able TO do it even in four rounds
with big gloves. Maybe he will and
maybe he won't, for Lewis is a crafty
little fellow at that. He has had a
world of experience and he wins as
much through his head as through
his hands. However, on what Boon
ton showed in his bout with Hopkins,
90 out OF 100 persons would pick Boon,
ton as an easy winner He has the
punch and cleverness and he seemed
to be so naturally handy that those
who sat at the ripgside were amazed
at his ability lie was rated the best
! lightweight prospect in sight. and
more than a dozen managers were
after him to allow him to do business
for him. The Kid told me this morn

Let us hope so. But fighters are such
an ungrateful lot that you never can

CaYanagh Promises to Make Amends.


Frank Cavanagh IS very much
chagrined as a result Of his poor
showing in the James J. Freel
Stakes" at the Velodrome Wednesday
night, and declares that he will make
amends for that poor performance by
taking the measure of Walter Rutt
in their match at the Nelodrome to-
morrow. 1t is almost a certainty
that he will show to better advantage
in the match, for the big fellow is
far better in match events than in
open competition. Cavanagh has
played havoc with many of the
foreign riders who have been brought
to this country during the past three
years. He has spilled the beans many
times by defeating foreign riders the
first time out when they were brought
here with the expectation of beating
every rider in match events, and thus
earning a duel with Frank Kramer.
1t was Cavanagh who defeated Carlo
Messori, the big Italian Splinter, in
1912. much to the disgust of John
Chapman, who figured the Italian
would not lose a race until he Stacked
up against Kramer. And that same
year Cayanagh made Marcel Dupuy,
the Frenchman, look foolish In a
match. and put an end to him as an
attraction at the Nelodrome. The
following year and last year Cava-
nagh gave other foreigners their
bumps. and among them was Fran
ceseo Nerri. the Italian rider, who
made a very favorable impression
here Vorri. however, came back
and gave the local boy a good beat
ing. Cavanagh's best performance
this year was his victory over All
Grenda. He rode like a champion in
that match. and if he can repeat to-
morrow he will give the welt
meister' a regular battle. If Caya-
nagh is at his best he has very
good chance to win.

even if they would be compelled to

ball game, in a way, is like a horse

all want to see the finish. President

Now that Kid Boonton has dis
played so much class and cleverness
in a New York ring. he will not find
it very difficult to get on matches.
After his bout with Harlem Tommy
Hopkins, Thursday night, he was
surrounded by fight managers and
club managers, all DESTROYS to do
something for him. He was offered
several bouts, but turned them all
down because of his scheduled con-
test with Banty Lewis at Gus Trox-
lers, June %. Just at present,
Boonton is more deeply interested in
| his bout with Lewis than in any
other bout he might secure. He was
| beaten by Banty in Browns, after
| having defeated Banty in TroXler's,
and now he is anxious to show
everybody that the battle in Brown
was all a mistake and that he WASH

Lewis that he could hardly stand up

semi-Finals win Be Hard Test.

The semi-hnals of the championship
will be hard races this year, and many
stars are certain to be shut out of each
final. There are eight first-class rid
ers here now and in July, Leon Hour
iier and Amedio Polledri will be here,
which will increase the field 10 ten.
As there are only four starters in the
finals of the quarter, third, half and
one-mile title races. many stars will
view the finals from the side lines.
In the two and five-mile champion
ships all of the stars will start TO-
gether in limited fields for all the rid
ers who have no chance whatever in
the championship struggle will be
barred from these races.
Clark viii Not start.
Jackie Clark will not start tomor-
row as he is still feeling the effects
of his fall on Wednesday night.
In the shorter championship races
the semi-finals will be almost as in
teresting as the finals During the
past three years there has never been
more than four or five real stars COM
peting for the title, which made the
semi-flnals more or less easy for the
big fellows. This year there is pretty
certain to be four stars in every semi
final.

the favorite team will be Kramer and

he would rather have Cavanagh as q
mate than any other man on the
track, so the champion evidently fig

Champion Frank L. Kramer is off
to a good start in the race for the
championship of 1914. The king won
the first title race of the season last
night at New Haven, but both Wal
ter Rutt and Jackie Clark, two of
his greatest rivals for the crown, did
not start. Frank Cavanagh was
among the missing in the final heat,
so Kramer was particularly for
tunate. Kramer won easily, with Joe
Fogler second and ALT Goullet third.
George Cameron, the General Villa
of the bike game, was fourth. That's
the way it goes sometimes, and still
Cameron is a harmless fellow. The
only honor ne claims is that he is
the champion "teamster'' in cycling.

New Haven because he is favorins

with Cavanagh, which also is down
on the same program. Rutt is a very
conscientious fellow, and he doesn't
like to start in a race unless he is
thoroughly fit. His shoulder bothers
him now and then, but sometimes in
the races he doesn't mind it in the
least, while at other times he suf-
fers great pain from it. He says he
is all right when he doesn't have to
do much jumping, for once wound

when he has to pull up on his handle

shoulder gives him all kinds of

The Rutt- Cavanagh match race to-
morrow has stirred up lot of inter
est. Cavanagh is pop-sure he will de-
feat Rutt, and Rutt can't understand
why anybody outside of Champion
Kramer should figure on having a
chance with him. Rutt believes he
can defeat every man in America to-
day with the exception of Kramer.
and he will not take off his hat to the
Yankee champion in open competition,
either. However. Cavanagh and a lot
of Cavanagh's friends believe he will
win. If he does he will be in line for
a match with Kramer. In the mean
time, Rutt feels certain of victory, in
which event he will be stacked up
against Jackie Clark. That is the
way General Manager Mcfarland is
planning things for the future.

Change in Educational System.

The proposed changes in our educa-
tional system made by the state com
mission Of education seems to be
meeting with the hearty approval OF
the public We understand that the
prime object in making the recon-
mendations public at this time was to
give the people ample opportunity
to study the suggestions made. Can
didates for the legislature in particu-
lar should study the report because if
elected they will be, called upon to
take action.
Idaho's institutions were distri-
buted without rhyme or reason. Their
distribution is the result OF log-roll-
ing which has been practised at every
session Of the legislature. The result
is we have a most expensive system
even if it affords great convenience
to different sections of the state. We
would respectfully urge men who
want to serve in the next legislature
that it 10 their duty to see that any
change that 10 made effects saving
to the taxpayers of the state. Educa-
tors have the reputation of being very
poor business men. We do not say
that this reputation 10 deserved but
it exists nevertheless. Any proposed
change should be accompanied by a
careful estimate Of its first and an
nual cost to the taxpayers of Idaho.
Again change that may be of ulti-
mate economy may not be practical
for a few years to come. The prob
lem of reducing taxes is immediate
and pressing. 1t demands immediate
attention There are no doubt a
number of desirable things that we
will have to do without for the pres
ent. To look carefully to first cost
is an admonition that all legislators
should keep in mind when dealing
with this and other matters that will
come up.
The advantage that will accure tc
the educational system of the state
by the proposed changes is subject
which the commission and educators
generally are fully equipped to dis
cuss. They are matters to which
these men and women have giver
years of thought and attention. Blu
in their enthusiasm the first cost il
likely to be a minor consideration. Tt
the taxpayer the first and annual cos
is a matter of the gravest considera
ton.

SWINE GROWERS
MEET At NAMPA

A conference OF the executive COM
mittee of the Idaho Swine Growers
association was held at NampA Thurs
day, with all members Of the COM
mittee preSent--H. L. Randall OF
Boise, president; @. IL. Moors OF
Nampa, secretary-treasurs4, Frant
Gooding of Gooding, V. d. Hannah
of Caldwell, d. r. Hubbard of Boise,
and H. L. Fest of Emmett
The principle problem discussed at
the conference pertained to better
market facilities and railroad rates
for Idaho pork producers. 1t appears
that Portland, which up to about
or weeks ago, was the chief market
for southern Idaho hogs, has been
swamped, and the Idaho shippers
have been forced to divert their ship
ments to Los Angeles and San Fran
cisco under far from favorable freight
rates. This condition the association
hopes to remedy.
Speaking of the rapid growth OF the
hog industry in southern Idaho, sec,
rotary Moore said Southern Idaho
has already shipped 2600 cars of hogs
this years and it is estimated that
there will be 5000 cars for delivery
this fall. This will bring about STA
100000 to Idaho swine growers, anc
after the marketable hogs have beer
shipped this fall, there will still be a:
many hogs on the ranches as there
are at the present time"

Conservation With a Vengeance.

Pinchot Roosevelts conservation,
with which Idaho is previously al
f1icted, is being shown up in its true
colors. Representative Graham OF
Illinois, has called attention to prac
teal conservation" in manner that
will open the eyes of our eastern
faddists and local theorists. He points
out that Pinchot Roosevelt by tying
up the water power and preventing
it's development the United States
sary consumption of 285,OO0,OO0 tons
OF coal annually. While this coal is
going to waste the electric energy
that might be developed is also going
to waste as it is unused. Thus is
Pinchot Roosevelt providing for the
unborn generations and conserving
the natural resources of the country.
The forest reserves will come in for
publicity along the line of waste in
due course OF time. Some one will
ascertain the millions of dollars that
are wasted annually by fire, death
and disease of timber that should be
used each year by the people of the
United States.
The Tribune called attention to the
fact several weeks ago that during
Pinchot Roosevelt's regime over l $50
600 acres of the finest timber land in
the United States was traded to the
Santa Fe railroad for an equal num-
Der OF acres of desert, waste and
worthless land. This too was done in
the name of conservation and for the
benefit of future generations. This
conservation policy was the most
costly, the most blighting and the
most reasonable plot that ever
succeeded in any country under the
sun. The people can get little more
of it by electing Roosevelt president
and Pinchot senator. They are "prac-
teal men of high ideals" and we
should have a little more of them.

Ada County Fair in Trouble.

The Boise fair association is in
trouble again. This time the county
grange association alleges that con-
siderable amount of the $5,OO00O ap-
propriated for the purpose of paying
horticultural, agricultural and live
stock premiums was used for other
purposes. The grange demands that
an investigation be made and the
Incorporated money recovered.
The fact that the money was used for
legitimate purposes is not questioned
by the grange. 1t simply charges that
money appropriated for premiums
was used for other purposes in con-
nection with the fair.
During the past few years nearly
all county fairs in this section of the
country have been given over to
sports and display. Racing, bucking
contests and other roundup features
have become the main thing at the
fairs. Such events are costly, in fact,
too costly, for fair associations.
They have left the associations
in debt at the end of the fair. We do
not know that anyone was to blame
for introducing these features. They
proved popular with the people and
undoubtedly attracted crowds. The
crowds were not large enough to pay
the cost in most instances. Simply
a lack of judgment prevailed upon
the part of those in charge OF the
fair associations. Already it is real
lied that these counties must make
the fair the feature and the sports
incidents in connection Herewith.
The Tribune trusts that the Boise
fair association will not be seriously
interiered with 1t must be admitted
however that the Boise fair has al
ways been racemeet rather than an
agricultural exhibit. 1t has been
given over to race horse touts rather
than to farmers. A race meet is al
right and immensely enjoyed by
thousands OF people. AS race meets
are calculated to be money making
schemes for promoters they should
not to be confunded with real fairs moi
awarded public moneys.
