BOXING NOTES
Rr An1lra.v1Il.s.A !

 Itsis evident that the promoters of the Pacific coast and middle west to- gether with the boxers and managers, hit upon the same date for a clash ing of the champions Jimmy CIappy and George Chip are billed for a cham nionsfaip match at San Francisco No venaber8 g. although Jimmy Coffroth would like to have it take place No vernber S instead. Freddy Welsh the worlds ghtweight I1ampion, is book ed to meet Charlie White of Chicago in sAfilwaukee, Nevernsbe g. so that two very i'm porta3nt contests will be decided the same evening.
 There has been so much discussion regarding the middleweight title that it is hoped the promoters and critics throughout the country will accept tn e winner of the Clabby4Chip match as the champion and let him defend the title against all legitimate cha1- lengers. ClaIbby has been a Legitimate nliddIewei ght, according to the Anneri- can scaIing-158 pounds at ringside-' and he has been recognized by many as the best entitled to the honor at that weight Jeff Smith has shared the honor in view of his point decision over Cla:bby in Australia. a decision which caused considerable argument at the time, many claiming that Jim my deserved the verdict or at least a draw C1abrby, however came back and defeated Eddie McGoorty anoth- .er legitimate contender, and strength ened his claim Mike Gibbons has been claiming the same, but Mike will have to show his speed over the mar athon- route before he will be accept ed as a champion for that class. There should be a successor to the late Stan ley Ketchel and 1t seems that Clah- by adopted the proper course when z- claimed the title and offered to de-. fend it against all corners, with side wagers to go with the purse If called on for the same. Promoter Conroth has offered to put up a belt as em- bIematbc Of the championship and as Chip has proven himself to be a real lcontender, the plan looks good. There must be al start and 1t might as well be with Chip and CIabaoy. Jeff Smith, Mike Gibbons, Eddie McGoorty and Jack Dillon then challenge for the same over the marathon route. There should be a stipulation in giv- ing the belt, that the winner must de- fend 1t at all times against legitimate ehaIlengers within four to six months after each title battle That would

 BRETON IN NEW BRITAIN

New Britain, Nov. s.---Once in a while when a boxer suddenly with draws from a bout short time be- fore it is scheduled to be held the public howls. Well, there was a howl in this neck of the woods when tsBi49~e Hanna announced that through no fault ef his Frankie Mack would be unable to meet Jack BFttton here to- night in their twelve-round bout. But it was howl of delight, as MT. Han- ma announced simultaneously that Eddie Moran, the Brooklyn light weight, had been secured as a subsa- tr1te.
 Moran is just the boy to make Brit ton earn his $1.0OO which has been guaranteed him for thirty -six nnin- utes of work. When Moran met Britt ton in Brooklyn last month he was a bit shy about going after the Chi- cagoan, whom he had never met be- fore. BIlt when he saw that Britton didn't have much on him he went af- ter Jack in vigorous style and did such good work that the Brooklyn newspapers gave him a draw at the end of ten rounds,

BAEDEKER

The first tsBaedeker as the little red guide books So familiar to Euro pean travellers are generally known. Was issued in 1s3 z by Karl Baedeker, who was born in Essen, Germany, Il 8 yers ago today. Nov 8, 1901 The Baedeker family has been engaged tn the publishing and selling Of books for about three centuries, and when Carl entered the business established by his ancestors at CobIentz, he de- cided to add to, the publication of handbooks for sttrfppers to the line The idea was suggested to him by the successes of a similar series published by an English firm. The first seBae- delsers', dealt with the Rhine. Bel giurn. Holland, Austria and Switzer- land. They were so successful that the firm devoted it's entire energies to the production of such works Originally published only in the German tongue. later editions were issued in English and French Karl Baedeker died at Coblenz in 1859. and the Business was oonttpued and extended by his sons, who removed the headquarters of the company to Isefpsie. Karl Baedeker was buried at ICobIenz, and his grave has been visited by many grateful tourists Owing to the war, it Is u1- likely that the demand for ssBaedek- erss will be very great for several years to come.

MODERN BASEBALL MORE COSTLY THAN
 OLD TIME BRAND

Running big league baseball Aea1n is different proposition now than It was a quarter of a century ago. Then a park that accommodated 10000 per sons was considered immense. No team thought of carrying more than a couple of extra players. The marl-3 ager had no assistants, and there were no trainers to look after the men who developed charley horse or a glass arm. The twirlers and catchers had to be a1I-around players. If the first base man WAS laid up. catcher generally had to substitute for him. while a tWir1er always filled ira when an out fielder was incapacftated. No falbue lous salaries were paid and the base ball player was not the artstocrat he is today.
 As new ideas were introduced in baseball the expense began to clinntbs and means had to be found to provide the whereWfthaI to pay the extra bills From three or four twir1ers at the most, teams began to carry five and tfona1s had nine pitchers on the roster Two catchers were considered enough in years gone by, while at present no manager would consider himself prop- erIy equipped unless he had at least three while most clubs carry four.
 No longer will a pttcher or g catcher icondescend to act as q utility infeld- ;er or outerg ardener. Ext trab men have to be provided for thfs purpose, which means five or six men capable of hlI-s ing in in case one of the base1nen Is Injured and four or live men who can play the outheld good strong pinch hitter has to be included on the payroll Another essential is an ass- sistant manager, while a, trainer or two is another necessity.
 Until this year. in order to put a limit on the expenses, the maximum number Of men that could be carried was 25, but because of the invasion Of the Federal league, the limit had to bs taken off so5 as to prevent the surplus players from quitting organ ized baseball. ConsequentIy some teams were burdened with SC or more players every one of whom receives as big salary as the manager of a couple of decades ago.
 The income from the small parks of days gone by could never have cov- cred the expenses of running a mod ern ball plant. The only thing to be done was to have up-to-date parks built. The nnanagement of the Brooklyn National league club realized this and Ebbets Field replaced Wash inEton park Quarter and half dollar seats generally had to give way to seyentyafve cent and dollar adrnis- sfons. to provide the kind of baseball the public desired. and the fans were willing to meet the increase. Nowadays a club which does not have a steel and concrete stand ac- comnodating from 10000 to Soi000
 persons cannot be a money maker, for it cannot seat enough persons to pay exnenses It seems. however. that a limit has been reached and that the big leagues will have to crush any tendency to increase expenses

''CABlRlAD PLEASES LARGE HOUSES AT
 ITS OPENING HERE
tReviewed for The Farmer. )

The nuch-heraIdee photto spectacle 'sCabir-a, was given its first per formanoes at. Polls theatre Monday. and. in the minds of the big Aud- fences present, even surpassed the given it. For two and three-qnarters hours. the great photoplay held the audiences almost breathless and thrill followed surprise in the action of the drama
 Truly, ssCabirisss' Is the master work of master mind It marks a new era in the onward march of "the nov ies.t This seemed the unanimous opinion Of those who witnessed yester- days perforrnances.
 ttCabiriaas. is 3. slip Of a girl about whom empires are seen to crumb1e, terrible battles waged, and who dy- nasties upset Her love for the Ro- man patrician, F'ulvius Axilla, form the basic plot Of the story. and around this thread is built the stupendous a. stion of the play.
 The picture Qualtties are renarka- bly, fine. There Is c1earness, detail and smoothness to such 3 degree that one almost forgets moving represen- tation than the actual object as be- ing observed. It is a picture abso- lutely as comfortable to watch as the passing panorama. from g railroad train. inducing less eye-strain than the latter Another noticeable point iredounding to the attxactivene ess Of the pictures. is their size, large enough to communioate the relative size of people and buildings giving their at rnospherics relationship without . sense of crowding
 Cabiria.'' is full Of conflict and es- cape from conflict giving 8 vivid inn presslon Of the rather violent manner Of living Of that strenuous day. There is more story to 1t than to most fea.- ture films. providing many Opportun- it1es for deeds of men, which share scenes staged by nature. The daring things finger in the memory rather more persistent1y than the story of the little girl who gives her name to the film and who does not do such 2 great deal else. s to it's complete leffectfveness, the sand covered desert, the snow crowned Alps, the s1Irg1ng sea, the hasus Oa e.1~s .. ting volcano and Of the Roman fleet ignited by Archfnedes by calling flame from the sun with his mirrors, a. wonderfully and attractively pictured and last night called from the audi : ence appreciative expressio ons.
 .Cabiria,, Is a picture which ons does mot discuss while it IS trans bring. 1t keeps the observer busy observing during it's progress It 1r conveniently divided into acts in the brief intervals Of which the attention has a chance to rest, but not sufn- c1ently long to prove boresone The circu1nstances Of its proposition here are connfortable and it's musical ac- comp anirnent is pleasing, so that 1t fav0rabIy combines all of the desira- ble points. of a cinema entertainment TMe aueInenteed orchstta aa1ds ops cratic chorus interpreting the special score Of .Cabirfas' added much to the general efrectiveness of the drama
 The play which is well worth while will be seen here during the remain der Of the week. with daily matinees.

 The judge went back, explained the situation. and received the assurance of the Iodger than he would turn over that amount on his next payday, and of the landlady that she would take advantage of the manager's offer.

 Foreign Models and Our Gain
 As far as the writer. Is able to de- terxntne. the Cleveland experiment. is the first application of the eonciIta- ton Idea to the courts Of an American | creating the court, used the concilia- tion courts ofeNorway. and Denmark as models. In those countries courts of conciHation have been interpretation since the eighteenth century They were successful from the first and have been granted larger powers from gen. eration to generation. Concilation Jheresis compulsory before a suit can be brought in the ordinary law courts HNour-dfths Of all cases are settled in this way. Some years ago North Da- kotoa adopted the idea. in the lower courts Of the state, but the powers thus granted are small and suited only to rural communitie es

ANNIVERSARY or RING BATTLES

On that occasion few thought the boilermaker would stand a chance against the veteran black smith, and the betting was two to one against him. Sharkey then challenged the new champion to defend his title. The sailor had a. big following in the East, and the attendance broke all records, the fans paying $67. .000 to see the rookus. While Sharkey stuck 1t out for the fun 25 chapters, he lost the decision. although there were sev-. eraI rounds in which the sailor made Jeff travel his fastest clip to hold his own Jeff is now running a. place of liquid refreshme ent in Los Angeles, and rom is engaged in a. similar business in New York.
