Oon't Bet on IL


 Don't bet sou on the Johnson Willard contest. whether 1t be staged in Jaurez, Havana, Juneau or Halifax. That is considered a good tip by all the dopesters and an the followers of the game in the roped arena. It doesn't matter whether the match Is pulled off April 8 1915 or Dec. %. 1920 1t will present too much of a problem for even the best of dope. sters to solve.
 Concerning the fight Hugh S. Full. lortou who is as well acquainted with the fight game and with fight CTS md promoters as well. as any other man that ever wielded a pen on the subject Of sport, says:
 The conditions surrounding the match are. to say the least, suspic. ious, the recent betting among those alleged to be close to the principals and the promoters is more SO, and the entire atmosphere is bad There are rumors and gossip among the sporting fraternity that hint at a big job being pulled off have heard 1t stated in several ways, but whether or not the match Is on the level, 1t is the best one of recent years to avoid in a betting sense.
 Jack Johnson is not now, has not been In the last two years and never win be again in condition to fight a good heavyweight He has never fought Ion the levew in a long time. His match with Jim Johnson in Paris was cross between joke and a scandal and his match with Frank Moran was as bad
 Jack Johnson went into the ring against Moran in wreched condition, bloaty rather than tat and showing the effects of the evil life he has led for years. There is no evidence that he has slowed down in the pace he has been keeping, Those who saw him in London recently say he was still going as rapidly as his purse would permit.
 Then he took long sea voyage to South America, and those aboard the ship report that they did not see him training and that be was living as high as possible on ship board. The same report comes from the vessel that brought him back from South America.

 'I doubt whether money even would tempt him to throw away his title.
 Nothing would be gained by ar- ranging for Willard to lay down. Nine tenths of the fight fans believe that Johnson, fl he is even in halfway com dition, can whip Willard.

What "pella Britt" Means.-When
Jimmy Britt fought Charles Sieger in
San Francisco. Spider Kelly was in
his corner. During the rounds the
Spiders rich Irish voice was heard
above the din as he coached Britt.
When Sieger got going strong Kelly
kept shouting: Measure, della-britt'
measure, leila britt, della britt, della
britt"
Some one leaned over and said to
Kelly: why the Della stuff. Spider?
Is Della his best girl and has he prom
ised to win for her sake?"
Spider looked around and said
quietly: "Naw-I'm tellin' him to be
della britt-you know cool and COL
lected like"
Then 1t dawned on everybody that
the irrepressible Spider had been trying
to say deliberate"

Slow Prosress.-A regiment OF regu-

across the rolling prairie land OF Mon
tana. 1t was a hot, blistering day, and
the men, longing for water and rest,
were impatient to reach the next town.
A rancher rode past.
Say, friend" called out n OF the
men, how far is it to the next town.
"Oh, a matter Of two miles or so,
reckon, called back the rancher.
Another hour dragged by n an
other rancher was encountered.
How far to the next town." he men
asked him eagerly.
"Oh, a good two miles"
A weary half hour longer of march

he thought the corn needed-so much
nitrogen and so much phosphoric acid.
With this fertilizer he went over each
row Of the acre, sprinkled 1t around
the stalks and worked it into the soil.
Fine as the corn was before, 1t now
showed still further Improvement. In
a few days it was in full silk, and 1t
seemed to leap up on receiving the
stimulating food around it's roots. But
Sam wasn't through with the acre yet.
Every now and then he went over 1t
with a pillow, just skimming the sur
face to break up the crust that COM
menced to form. One month 1t was
unusually dry, and the young farmer
had a chance to see the good effect of
this work. His cor kept its dark
green color, and by scratching down
two inches, just underneath the dust
mulch, he found that the soil was per-
fectly wet.
Flagan's corn across the fence was
burning and whiting in the sun. Sam
climbed over the fence one day and
examined the soil. He found it baked
hard on top, and when he took his
knife and dug a little hole he had to
go nearly six inches before he found
the slightest moisture.
That shows what conserving the
moisture will do" he said to himself
as he went back to his field. I've
plowed this acre a good many times,
but it's been easy work and didn't take
long to do it, because it is In good con-
dition. 1 may be mistaken, but l be-
lieve I'm going to make a lot OF corn
at mighty little cost on this patch"
Late in the summer, when the corn
was almost made and when other
farmers had long ago laid by their
corn, Sam gave his contest acre a final
blowing and sowed black eyed peas
broadcast among it as he did so. He
had done his best, and it remained to
be seen whether other boys in his state
could beat him.
But If Sam Powell was through with
the one acre he wasn't through work
by any means. In fact, he didn't have
much time to think about the contest.

GREYHOUND HAS GREAT SPEED.
IL said to he Fastest Of All Fosr
Footed Creatures.

Comparatively few people realise OF
what remarkable speed dogs are capable.
The wolf can run between nifty INC
sixty miles in one night and the Arctic
fox can do quite as we'll. II not better.
Nansen met one Of these foxes on the
Ice at n point more than seventy miles
northwest of the Sannikow territory.
which Is $50 miles from tho Asiatic
oas Eskimo and Siberian dogs
can raw forty-ive miles on tho Ice in
five hours and there Is one case On rec
ord In which a team of Eskimo dogs
travelled six and a half miles In twenty
eight minutes.
English settlers and pointers hunt at
the rate OF eighteen 10 nineteen miles
an hou and they can maintain this
speed for at least two hours, Fox
hounds are extraordinarily swift. az Is
proved by tho fact that a dog OF this
breed once beat a thoroughbred horse,
covering four miles in six and a half
minutes. Greyhounds arc the swiftest
OF all four footed creatures and their
speed may be regarded as equal to that
Of carrier pigeons. English grey
hounds which are carefully selected n
which are used for coursing are able
to cover at full gallop a space between
eighteen and twenty-three yards every
second. 1t Is said hat . hare at It's
greatest speed never goes faster than
at tho rate Of eighteen yards q second.
These interesting statistics fully provo
the right OF the greyhound to rank a.
the swiftest Of the Quadrupeds.
