Then he produced afhda- wits showing that the Yale men had broken the rules. Another rumor in New Haven is that the whole af- fair was a frameup by Princeton. It is claimed that the Yale men while playing at Quogue were guests of a Princeton graduate.
 Sleepwall1ing in football is the rage this year. Williams, who scored the only touchdown for Pennsylvania against Pittsburgh last Saturday, came out of a daze yesterday and was surprised to learn he had contri buted to the score. He was knocked out in the first half but went back in the second half and went over the enemy's goal line.

Waldeck Zbyszko of Poland after one hour and four min utes of wrestling at Madison Square Garden last night. A'berg forced Zbyszko's shoulders to the mat with a side roll and a chaneery hold. The bout was to decide the Graeco-Roman championship. The winner will try to force Frank Gotch, the worlds champion, into a match.

Walter J. Maranvi1le of the Boston Braves tells in the Springfield Repub- z ncan how he got the nickname of Rabbit. In Springfield which is his home city. he was called fat but "Rabbit'' is the name by which he is known wherever baseball is played and talked. Manyi1le says:

Harrington was a great fan. took one of his daughters to the game one day and she brought along her sister. play ssed "a great game that day and this girls sister remarked that was just like a rabbit, quick as lightning and could run as fast as one.

(By Wagner.)

There has been much discussion in local boxing circles because Battling Levinsky, who makes his home in Stratford, was turned down in his ef- forts to get the November boxing permit for this city. Levinsky had intended to bring Champion Johnny KiIbane here for a match with Young McAuIiffe at the Casino.
 He went to see Supt. Birmin gham and says that official told him to dis cuss the matter with President Geo s. Hill of the police board. Levin sky visited Hill and the latter is al- legged to have told the boxer that be- cause he is not a resident of Bridge port he could not have the permit. It is understood that Kid Williams had the permit for November and will run a show about the middle of the month.
 Sporting men are talking with much gusto about the necessity of seeing President Hill to get a permit. They understood Stpt. Birmingham was the official designated to give out these privileges. and there was no need to go higher up.

who produce the corn but to the older
people as well. It shows what can
be done when the proper seed is Sc
lected, good seed bed prepared and
this followed up with thorough
thoughtful tillage.
If the fact that we could produce
eighty bushels of corn to the acre in
Redwood county, had been mentioned
ten years ago it would have been
considered an impossibility, at the
present time it is a reality and we
have not reached the top yet.
The matter of producing a high
yield of corn, however, is not the only
thing to consider when one Of these
contests has been carried through to
a successful finish. In the contest as
carried on here in Redwood county,
each boy must keep an accurate re-
cord of the amount of labor expended
to produce that crop of corn, taking
into consideration the cost of the

seed, rental of the land, the horse
and man labor and all other items
that enter into the cost of production,
i snot this one of the most practical
and lasting lessons that can be given
in farm management. It is just as
important an item to know what it
costs to produce crop as it is to
produce it.
Another requirement of the contest
is that how he grew his corn, what
particular care, if any, that he gave
it and wherein he was benefited by
it. If large yield of corn is secured
there must be some reason for it, the
seed, the soil and the boy are the
three factors that enter into its make
up. An intelligent straightforward
story of how this yield was secured
doubles it's value.
Still another point which deserves
mentioning in this connection is the
matter of becoming acquainted with

cured yields of over seventy bushels
and several of them stood above the
sixty bushel mark which demonstrates
the fact that these high yields were
not mere items of chance but pos
sible with consistent work. These
yields appear all the more favorable
when compared with the winners in
similar contest carried on in Will
county Illinois, where the winning boy
raised yield of one hundred and nine
bushels of corn to the acre and the
second prize boy had yield of one
hundred and three bushels.
While the yields in this years con-
test are not quite as high as those Of
last year, when the winning boy raised
a yield of eighty-seven bushels. and

the fact more strongly that a new
high water mark has been set in corn
production. This is demonstration

The next highest yield which was al
