FIGHTING WALES WHlRLWIND

Only in Three Rounds Did Joe Show

''COvered Up" Well.
BY H. NJ. Walker.

Los Angeles, March 17.-Ringnote-
The lightweight championship OF
England, Australia and South Africa
still remains in Wales-with heavy
anchor attachment.
Joe Rivers efforts to outlook Fred
dy Walsh reminded one of a child
trying to open a Yale lock with a
soup ladle.
Welsh, still the peerless and pleas
ing performer of old, gave the Cali
fornian a scientific beating of 20
rounds. Rivers called for more box
ing gloves in one afternoon than he
ever called for before and the smell
of leather should sicken him during
the remainder of his natural life.
Without single Touchdown, stag
gering punch or exciting incident.
Welsh tramped throug hthe 20 rounds
keeping his rival dangling on the end
of a left jab and playing hard right
on the kidney. On the defense, Fred
erick was all of wizard. blocking

The day was bright and CHEEKY
with the benignant rays of Gods sun.
On every face there was smile. In
every heart there was a joy Laugh
ter dubbed necessarily from the lips
of every passerby. The calm serene
brows of Coaches banks and Stepp
alone were clouded. No ioy reposed
in their souls. The joyous twitter
of the little birds was as the raspins
OF saw in their ears. The fragrance
Of the peach blossoms was nauseating
in their ncstrils. Depressing gloom
weighed heavily on their souls. They

of the bitter dregs of deep disap-
pointment and narrowing anguish.

track team is in mid winter form. The
work is disultory, the candidates eX-
erting themselves only when the mood
suits them. This kind Of showing is
thoroughly disheartening to coach
and he can not do his best when such
lack of interest is shown. The hope
of the coaches and faculty has been
to make a creditable showing in the
coming state meet, if for nothing else
than to show those instrumental in
bringing the meet here that their eff
forts have been appreciated. At the
present rate the "Hi' will have a
hard fight to get as near first place

the patriotism of all the boys in the
student body to go out and try. No
one can ever succeeded in any thing
until they find out what they can do.
In all probabilities there is lying

material to win the meet Even if a
boy can't win he can at least encour-

dates if not in relative merit.

USE GOVERNMENT
GRADE ON COTTON
Criticism Forces New York Exchange
to Abandon Old Standards
in Use

New York, March 17.-Smarting
under the severe criticism directed
against it because Of it's system of
grading cotton, the Board of Managers
of the New York Cotton Exchange to-
day passed resolution for the adop-
ton of the government standard type
on and after April 1, 1915. The reso-
luton reads:
"Resolved, that the government
standard type of the following grades
of cotton: I. E. middling. fair, strict
good middIing, strict middling; mid
ding, strict low middling, low mid
ding, strict good ordinary, and good
ordinary shall be the basis for deter
mining the grades of all cottons for
the delivery upon contract on and
after April 1, 1915"
E. K. Cone. president of the New
York Cotton Exchange, said today
that in addition to the standard type
announced, the Board of Managers
class tinges and middlings stained on
the basis of the government standard
instead of the New York standard.

Joe's plunges in way that left him
nothing but elbows, forearms and
gloves for Rivers to hit.
Rivers made a rafting good uphill
fight. His mistake was in trying to
outlook Welsh. This plan was exactly
to Freddy's liking and his showing
amounted to a boxing lesson for Joe.
When Rivers did start to cut and
lash in the thirteenth round he had
the best of luck, reaching the cham
pion's anatomy in a way that brought
look Of worry to Welsh's face. The
tension in this round which was Joe's
best session, was seen. Again in the
fifteenth round Rivers kept boxing
fiercely.
Aside from these three rounds,
Welsh handled the Southerners lust
as he pleased.

Throw Away Your
Eyeglasses
A Free Prescription
You Can Have Filled and Use al
Home.

Do you wear glasses? Are you a
victim of eye-strain or other eye
Weaknesses? If so, you will be glad
to know that there is real hope for
you. Many whose eyes were failing,
say they have had their eyes restored
through the principle of this wonder
full free prescription. One man says,
after trying it: 81 was almost blind ;
could not see to read at all. Now
can read everything without any
glasses and my eyes do not water any
more. At night they would pain
dreadfully; now they feel fine all the
time. 1t was like miracle to me-" A
lady who used it says: "The atmos-
phere seemed hazy with or without
glasses, but after using this prescrip-
ton for fifteen days everything seems
clear. l can even read fine print
without glasses" 1t is believed that
thousands who wear glasses can now
discard them in reasonable time and
multitudes more will be able to
strengthen their eyes SO as to be
spared the trouble and expense of ever
getting glasses. Eye trouble of many
descriptions may be wonderfully bene-
fitted by following the simple rules.
Here is the prescription: Go to any
active drug store and get bottle of
DIPLOMA. Fill a two-ounce bottle with
warm water, drop in one DIPLOMA tab
let and allow to dissolve. With this
liquid, battle the eyes two to four
times daily. You should notice your
eyes clear up perceptibly right from
the start and inflammation will quick
ly disappear, II your eyes are both
ering you, even a little, take steps to
save them now before it is too late
Many hopelessly blind might have
been saved if they had cared for their
eyes in time. e1s

MANY HIGH MARKS
(By FRANK G. MENKE.)

New York, March 17.-Each season
ball players individually and as a
team start out with the determination
of smashing some of the old records
and establishing new ones for them,
selves. Here are a few Of the records
taken from Spauldings 1914 Guide
which show the rather husky task
that confronts the players of this era
who have record breaking ambitions:
In 1909 George Gibson, the Pirate
catcher, worked in 140 consecutive
games. In July 1908 over Bresnahan,
then with the Giants, did not have an
assist or put out in ten inning
game. An average of $50 for the
season was turned in in 1904 by Joe
Sugden, of the Browns, in 1906 by
Jack O'Connor of the Browns, in 1907
nv Frank Bowerman of New York, in
1909 by Forrest Cady, of the Red Sox,
and also by George Gibson OF Pitts
burgh.
In the pitching line, Charles Rad
bourne, with Providence in 1888
worked in 81 consecutive games and
won 2S. In 1884 he pitched Y games
in one seasonal record that was
duplicated in 1889 by John Clarkson,
then with Boston. Keefe, pitching
for the Giants in 1889 and Vanguard.
pitching for the same team in 1871
are tied with 10 consecutive victories
in one season.
Charles Sweeney, pitching for Pro-
violence against Boston in 1888 struck
ct q batsmen. Amos Rusie, in 1892
gave 261 bases on balls in one sea-
son. In 1875 AL G. Spaulding pitched
63 games and got an average OF 1893
for the season. In 1904 "Rube" Mad
del, then with the Athletics struck
ont 343 batsmen in one season.
Was Near Perfect.
Frank Chance in 1910 while flrst
basing for the Cubs, took unto him"
self the remarkable average OF 1876
for the season. Jigg Donahue, Tor

holds the other three records in the
first hasing line. In 1907 he accept
ed the highest number OF chances
1886. in 1905 he had % chances II

AT THE HIGH SCHOOL
BY John Sorrells
I + + + + + + + + + + + + +

Without 20 aspiring candidates for
the baseball team out yesterday it is
evident that interest in the national
game has not diminished at the High
School since the close of the season
last fall. The squad was divided up
into teams, and a three-inning game
was played. The main idea of the
practice at present is to get batting
practice. The "H' has always been
noted for their hefty work with the
stick and Coach Bassett is anxious for
the team to get all the batting prac-
tice possible. Sliding, base-running
and hitting the horsehide will be prac-
tically all the practice INDUCED in for
the next week or two. Six of the vet
Grams are back and it will not be
hard matter to select a team. The
main weakness seems at present to be
in the pitching staff. There is only
one OF last years men back. However,
there seems to be considerable raw
material which can be developed into
first-class pitchers. Pink Burks, a
lefthander, is very promising re-
cruit. He handles himself we'll and
has an unusual assortment of speed
and curves. He will probably be
used to advantage during the season.
Big Lefty" Moore, the speed wizard
of last years team, is considering re-
suming his studies at the school. The
return of this clever twirler will be
received with joy by the members of
With Moore added to the staff the
twirling department will be replete.
His presence on the team would
strengthen as we'll as add ballast to
it by way of being a veteran.
The infieldis pegged down to three
positions. The positions of catcher,
third base and shortstop are filled by
veterans. Carl Hamlin, considered
the best High School catcher in the
state, will again be the hero of the
protector and mask. Peter Flournoy
is at third and Harlow Sanders will
again cayort around in the general
neghborhood of shorstop.
Two old heads remain in the out
field. They are Freelin Christopher,
the heavy artist with the stick and
Roger McNew These two have been
members of the team for three years
and know the game from every angle.
There are many promising recruits.
Doc Mccain is the probable choice
for the initial sack, while Ed How
ell, and Jimmie Alexander will scrap
for the keystone bag.
AS whole, the material is excel
lent and the chances for winning the
championship seems less remote than
in any branch of the "Hi' athletics.
The majority of the team will have
played together four years this sea-
son. This is thoroughly conducive
of team work. Every man knows just
how to play to his teammate, what he
will do under certain conditions, and
instinctively without signals or signs
the right thing at the right time is
done.
No predictions are made, but a
warning is sent out b the teams in
the Big Circle to look to their
laurels.

USING ROOT CROPS
FOR DAIRY COWS
Supply to Milk Animal Same Es-
sentiaI SucCuIence as SiIage-
Valuable Adjunct.

While many, or indeed most, of the
root crops contain considerable food
value, it is not claimed by those who
advocate feeding them that they con-
tain elements which will make them
a prominent ingredient in the balanced
ration.
In their way, roots supply to the
COW the same essential succulent feed
that does silage, and there is nothing
better for keeping the bowels in bet
ter condition, to say nothing of the
value Of roots as an appetizer.
Take the average daily ration of
cornmeal. wheat bran, oil meal with
the necessary roughage and a daily
feed of even small quantity OF roots
will add greatly to the appetite Of a
COW, keep her in excellent condition
and materially assist in increasing the
quantity of milk given.
Those who have tested root-crop
feeding properly, without materially
cutting down the regular rations, know
the value of them and would not think
Of cutting them out of the regulation
feeds.

best for this work when they can be
obtained. A skillful hand will pin on
a thousand bags a day. A very small
increase in the price will pay for this
work as can be readily seen.
Bagging should he done when the
bloom drops for the best security, but
is often done during the next few
days. It has been said it is a specific
not only for rot but for all manner of
birds and insect pests. II is particu-
larly adapted to the tender and thin
skinned varieties like the Brighton,
and should always be resorted to when
fancy clusters are wanted for exhibit
ton purposes.
Not only does it preserve the per
fectness of each berry, but also their
delicate bloom which greatly height
ems their beauty. Some varieties are
improved not only in looks but even
in flavor, becoming sweeter and sweet
er after the first stage of ripeness.
Another great advantage in bagging
is that it is one of the best ways to
preserve the grape in its ripe condi-
ton. Many varieties will remain
fresh and sound until frost, and even
then can be cut off, laid away in cool
place and kept still longer They
have been kept till Christmas.
The red varieties seem to be the
thinnest skinned and most liable to
crack and to puncture. The white
kinds are of all the least molested by
birds which seem to think they are not
ripe. The blacks are the first to be
attacked.

Bagging grapes is one Of the more
refined processes of fruit growing that
every man should test for himself.
There are various conditions TO be con-
sidered upon which its proftableness
depends.
Does your market demand a fancy
article and is it willing to. pay for it?
At four or five cents pound for
grapes it pays to go TO some extra
trouble. Again, do you suffer much
loss from the birds? In some districts
they are very destructive and scare
crows are not OF much avail. Rot,
too, is to be considered though some
growers assert that bags are not a
preventive of this disease.
If grapes are bagged at the proper
time, which is soon after blooming
they certainly will not rot unless the
canes are already full of rot spores,
and after the vineyard has once been
thoroughly cleared of the infection it
should not again be easily affected if
the fruit is kept covered.
Bagging does not appear to be much
resorted to throughout the West. but
in the East with its higher priced
markets some growers find it profitable
to bag their entire crop. The COM
mon paper bag in use at the grocery
is usually employed, in the two-pound
size.
A thousand bags should not cost
more than rs cents. The usual way
is to fasten them with a common pin.
Do not pin them around the stem of
the bunch, but over the cane from
which the cluster depends. The edges
OF the bag should be folded down and
then pinned securely so as to exclude
the rain as well as the insects.
