ALASKAN AGRICULTURE
 IS MAKING HEADWAY
 FASTER THAN THOUGHT

Few people appreciate the extent of Alaska's agricultural development. While it is not great in any one sec tion. except the region about Fair banks, in the aggregate lt has become considerable. The greatest growth in agricultural development has been during the last few years, though the census returns of 1910 showed that there had been considerable headway made at that time.
 The following statistics are from the 1910 census reports. and they show greater values than most people are

track, bouquet in hand. He showed
so much class that even his enemies
could not help but recognize 1t and
they applauded. Goullet was very
good yesterday and he will be hard
man to beat this summer. He showed
the goods in his match and he wasn't
extended by any means. The time
for the last eighth was not fast in
either heat, but that Is no criterion
to go by. If Clark could have forced
Goullet to his best, "Goullie" would
have made faster time; as 1t was he
did 121-5 seconds for the last eighth

In all the history of the fighting
game but one man has ever held
three worlds championships. and by
virtue OF holding them he must be
ranked above all other ringsters as
the greatest fighter tho world ever
knew - Robert Fitzsimmons, light
heavyweight.
Not only did "Ruby Bob hold
ths 1niddleweight and heavyweight
championships until weight and the
kick OF Jim Jeffries deposed him, but
he won them at periods In his life
80 far apart as to make 1t seem In
credible that any human being could
stand the wear and tear of the game
as long as he did. He was twenty
eight years old when he wrested the
middleweight crown from Jack Demp-
sey, thirty-five years old when he
won the heavyweight honors from
James J. Corbett and almost forty
three years old when he beat George
Gardner in a match for the light
heavyweight title,
And to top that off, he was fifty
three years old last winter when the
New York boxing commission arbi-
trarily put an end to his lighting
career by refusing to allow him to
enIeT a. TltlH IN IuAhP1io Obhto 10
cause he was too old, Otherwise, the
lanky one might be holding another
crown today.
F'itzsimmons was the prize freak
of the ring. Possessing q powerful
pair of shoulders, with long arms and
deep torso, he dwindled away to
nothing In the legs until only the
freckles which plentifully besprinkle6
| his body made them stand out at all
| He was always slow on his feet and
shuffled around the ring In fiat
footed style, but when he landed his
awful blacksmith punch It was In
eyitably curtains for the man on the
receiving end.
Fitssimmons first came into premi,
nence as a fighter In New Zealand
when he knocked out three men II
one night In fistic carnival helt
there. One of these was Herberi
| Siade. the great Maori, and from tina
day Bob's reputation as fishter WA
established.
| w. w. Naughton, an old-tine flgh
writer on the coast (now deceasedl
heard of Fitz and 1t was through hi
efforts as much as anything else tina
the lanky Cornishman was brough
to this country from Australia in tn
spring of 1890. From the first nigh
that Fitz had In this country, nj
fighting career was comprised OF

FTTZSIAlMONS ONLY FIGHTER
TO WIN THREE WORLDS TITLES

of which has never been equaled be-
fore or since his time.
He reached the championship stage
at New Orleans, January IA, 1891,
when he appeared In the ring with
Jack Dempsey, then middleweight
champion of the world. The fight was
held at the Olympic Club for q purse
of $4,000, of which s11 900 was to go
to the winner and but $1,000 to the
loser. Fitz weighed in at 1904 pounds,
while Dempsey tipped the beam at
d471s, the weighing In being done In
front of the audience.
The fight lasted to the thirteenth
round, when the Nonpareil went
down to a clean knockout.
With Dempsey out OF the way,
Fitzsimmons had mighty slim pick
ing in his own class, as there was
not middleweight in sight who had
a ghost of o chance with him. The
only thing left for him to do was to
fight bigger men than himself, so he
moved bag and baggage over into
the heavyweight camp and SHE'D his
war bonnet into the ring with the Dig
fellows.
At this time James j. Corbett was
heavyweight champion by virtue OF
his defeat of the mighty John L., so
F1tz camped on Corbett's trail until
he landed match with the Califor-
mia star for the heavyweight cham
pionship of the world. Carson City,
Nevada, was selected as the battle
ground. and the fight was booked for
March IL, 1897.
Corbett entered the ring cool and
smiling, and looking his laniky oppo-
nent over with the superior air OF one
sure to win. He had reason for the
feeling, as Fitz weighed only 16s
pounds, while Jim tipped the beam
at 100, but Bob won in fourteen
rounds, and Fitz was middleweight
and heavyweight champion rolled into
| one.
It would seem that two titles would
be enough for anybody, but Fitzsim-
mons was not yet satisfied, and hs
Immediately began to look around fol
new worlds to conquer. He found his
man In George Gardner, who was
then recognized as the light heavy
weight champion OF the world. Fit
went right after him, and the match
was finally clinched.
The battle was fought at Sar
Francisco November 25, 1908, Titi
gaining the decision after twenty hare
rounds. In this bout Fitz broke his
| hand early In the fight, but tha
never stopped him and he Tough
right on to the finish with only hi,
left In commission.

heats. There isn't any doubt but
that the interest in what Goullet and
Clark would do brought out the
larger part of the attendance. The
hated rivalry between these fellow
countrymen is so intense and so well
that they will get a great race for
their money. And so they did yes
terday, though Goullet, would say,
won much easier than the actual dis
tance between them at the finish
showed.
@
Next In Importance, from the
standpoint of an attraction, was the
ten-mile tandem paced race, in which
Egg scored a glorious victory over
Grenda and McNamara. Tandem
paced races turn out to be very bad
at times, but when they are good
they are simply great. Egg seems to
be IN class by himself at this fol-
low-the-tandem style Of racing,
though Mcnamara is not to be over
looked when II comes to plugging,
and Grenda isn't a weakling, by any
means. But Egg! He is what the
Frenohman would oall Par excel
lenoel" Beautifully built for an ath-
lete, he doesn't appear to have any
weakness, and he doesn't seem to
know what 1t is to tire and play out.
In the race yesterday Egg plugged
and plugged, and he fairly stood his
two opponents on their heads at
times, though Mcnamara when he
fell was on even terms with Egg and
apparently riding strong The fall
occurred in front of the grand stand
and right at the tape. At Arst It was
thought Reggie slipped on the copper
discs used to pick up winners, but
later 1t was learned that his tire
rubbed against Eggs tire, and there
by caused the accident This mishap
robbed the race of much interest, but
when Mcnamara mounted his wheel
again and started out to catch his
opponents the fans took on new life.
And then at the finish, when Nc
Namara presumed to beat Egg in the
sprint for home and Egg determined
otherwise, the struggle was so In
tense that the fans went wild with
enthusiasm and applauded Egg,
the winner by inches, to the echo.
G
The race for the Brassard had its
own little tense moments, but Dupuy,
the Frenchman, proved himself much
the superior of McDougall, the Amer
ican. and who held title to tho badge
Of honor, which he won at the OPEN
ing meet of the track in a contest
with Harry Kaiser. The Brassard,
you should know, is of French origin
and the holder of It wears a badge of
honor around his arm and he re-
ceives $50 week as long as he Is
able to defend It. How long Dupuy
will keep the Brassard is only
matter of matching him against a
superior rider. Poor little Nc
Dougall held It for only one race
meet.

Detroit's winning streak, which had

The feature of the American League
game in Cleveland between the Cleve-

the pitching of Morton, of the home
team. Morton held the Tigers score
less until the eighth inning, when
Jacobson, pinch hitting for Cavet,
doubled and crossed the plate on Ty
Cobb's single. Cleveland won the
game in the first inning by scoring
two runs.
The White Sox's Shut-out victory
yesterday over the ST. Louis Browns,
in Chicago, was the fourth straight
for the homesters. Reb Russell, who
toed the rubber for the White Sox,
held the Browns to four hits and
struck out eleven men. Baumgard-
ner, of the Browns, also pitched well,
being touched up for only four hits.
