COMISKEY MAINTAINS EDDIE COLLINS WORTH
 MORE THAN $50, 1000

Chicago, July 29-'sThere's an ar ticle in morning paper which says baseball is on the wane and golf is taking it's place"
 Not on. the South sidell.' said Co., niskey.. We have the seasons record crowd today. Last Friday we had the biggest Friday crowd of our history Secretary. Harry Grabner came in. with typewriter report of the days receipts. Coniskey gave it heeting. glance and tucked it in his pocket. His thought did not seem to be on the profits of the day, but on the fact that he could afford o be proud of the loyalty of the fans
 Yes he said, ssthe fans are loyal, and we're going to. give them a ball team. We need third baseman and an outfelder and we've got our eyes. on them.
 I'm thinking that if somebody came in here with proposition he IcouIdn't get out of here without talk ing some Of my money
 And you didn't have to wonder where. the money would come from. In the next room-the big room. of which the stuffed moose is the chief article of sadornment-wer a dozen men counting the days receipts. They stacked and counted the silver and paper money with careless abandon. Four big policemen were on the job, ready to receive the gunmen.
 'tYes, sir,' continued sComiskey,l we're going to improve the team. It need not surprise anyone if he hears we've got most any star. We're going after big game. None5of them is too good for the -Sox."
 "But did Eddie really cost you $50, ,000?'' we asked.
 Fifty thousand wasn't enough, 2, answered Comiskey. Connie Mack got the $5o,oO0. But it's one thing to buy ball player and another thing to get him. Eddie had to be satis- fled, too. It cost more than $5O,oOO
 stBut I'm glad to spend the money. I figure the White Sox and the South Side park are a public institution! I suppose I could make quite lot of money every year leasing the park when the Sox are away. But I'd rather donate it for some good cause When they make plans to raise money for some worthy object and come to i me they get the park. That's the way fe1 about it. The people have an interest in the place the same as have.
 "You know, I'll be glad when get | baseman. Then can go away to the camp and have some peace of mind. I can get some good sleep then. You know, I've had several nights of good sound sleep since got Eddie Collins. Yes. sir, Eddie Collins has done me a world of good. I hate to think how fine I'll feel if I get Baker-but we'll l talk about that later"

ARTHUR UPHAh WAS EAsY
 MARK FOR .RUBY ROBERT,

This is the fffty-first birthday an niversary of Arthur Upham, known to the boxing fans of a quarter of a century ago as the rniddlewefght simmons robbed him of that honor and sent him to the pugilistic dis card. Upham was a. native of, Ca nada, having been born in London derry. Nova Scotia, July 29, 1884. He was an iron roller by trade. but early took to the pugilistic game. He made his debut in Boston, in 1886, by knocking out Jim Cross. He con tinued fighting in New England and Canada for several years, winning most of his contests by knockouts, and then went to New Orleans where he soon gained recognition as the champion middIeweight of Dixie.
 When Bob FitzsimTnons landed in America in 1890 he was pttted against Frank Allen, a trial horse of the Cali fornia A. C., in a private exhi bition. This was so pleasing to the club ofH- ciaIs that they matched Ruby Robert with Billy Mccarthy, former middle weight champion of Australia, and Bob knocked him out in the ninth round test was the matchmaker of the old Audubon club of New Orleans the classy boxing club of the Crescent City. This chap had notion that Arthur Upharn could show up the lanky fellow from Australia, and he offered F1tz a. thousand bones to journey to the Louisiana city and take .on Upham. That sum looked good to Bob. and he accepted without further deIiberation-
 The contest was staged by the Au- dubon club, and a big crowd of sports gathered to see their champion put the Australian on the blink. They saw nothing remotely resembling g such a conclusion. Bob had been fighting only a minute or so whea he discovered that Upham was an easy mark for him, and although Arthur was a good fighter and used everything he had he was only a plaything for Bob. Fftz wanted to earn that thousand dollars, however. so he gave the fans a run for their
 money by displaying against the
 helpless Upham all the tricks in his repertoire. In the fifth round Bob
 decided it was time to put Arthur out of his misery, and he put all his strength into 2. blow, with the result that Upharn crumbled in a heap and went by-by. It was this marvellous demonstration of his cIeverness and fighting ability which made the American fans fully realize that in Fitzsimmons they had one of the l classiest fighting men nature had ever turned out. in spite of his un~
 gainly physique and apparent awkwardness.
 This is also the anniversary of the Scotian, the late George Dixon, who was born in Halifax forty-fiye years
 ago today. The little negro has been dead six years, and, like so many of his race who have been shining lights
 in sport. he fell a victim to dissipa-

John McGraw says any team that wants to capture the National League pennant will have to beat the Boston Braves. The worlds champions have won ? of their last l 3 games and are filled with confidence. One New York writer thinks the Braves may nag their way to another pennant.
 It is said the Boston players are the greatest -naggers in either league. They find out the personal weakness of each player on the opposing team and then taunt him throughout the game. They will make any kind of an insulting remark just to. make the player explode with wrath and mako "a few errors.

most cases butter will be the pro
duct requiring attention. An at.
tractive supply of oiled board car
tons should be secured. bearing the
dairymanS name, the name of his
farm, and the brand under which
his butter is to be sold. The finish
ed product can be taken to town in
box built into a wagon body
especially for that purpose and will
either be sold to the merchants or
to the trade direct as the dairyman
may desire. If the product is what
it should be there is no locality
where a good regular retail trade
could not be built up in a short
while.
The "by.products" from any line
of manufacturing endeavor are to
be closely considered and right
here is where the dairyman, who
now has a lot of skinned milk on
his hands, realizes that he should
have a number of registered hogs
on the farm and turn, what would
otherwise be a loss, into pork.
Then, there is another thing to
consider; one of greatest importance
with the proper use of the manure
secured from his stock his land is
becoming more fertile each year,
and consequently more valuable.
All garden and field crops are pro-
ducing a much greater yield per
acre and the owners bank account
is bound to grow larger.
This plan is not visionary in the
least but is being done but a few
miles from here today upon what.
year ago. was raw. piney woods,
cut over lands, and it can be done
throughout the cut over land dis
trict by those who have a large
amount of Push and at least a
small amount Of capital.

LICENSE FOR NEAR BEER
SALOONS FIXED At $1,000
Highest Ever Exacted From,
Business OF This Kind
In State

Anite City, La, July 14.-The
Tansipahoa police jury caused a
ampede among the operators of
near-beer saloons in Tangipahoa
parish, when an ordinance was
passed this afternoon whereby the
license for the operation of near
beer saloons was placed at the
high figure of $1,000 a year. 1t is
not believed that any Of the numer-
Gus near-beer saloons will be able
to pay such a sum, hence it is be-
lieved that the parish will soon Re
deprived of this class of enterprise,
which is declared very undesirable
by many of the citizens of Amite
and other towns. Todays action
by the police jury will be made a
test case, though the temperance
people are of the opinion that the
highest court will sustain the police
jury, the recognized legislative body
of the parish and representative of
their interests.
Few of the liquor people were
aware of what the police jury in
tended doing and the ordinance
caused a sensation among the near
beer operators here and will no
doubt be great surprise to the
same element in other towns where
saloons exist Practically every
town in Tangipahoa parish along
the Illinois Central, has one or
more near-beer saloons and the
people are making a concentrated
effort to rid the communities of
them. For this reason the police
jury was appealed to some time
ago and the action taken today
shows the interest the parish legis-
lators are taking in the fight.
The license is no doubt the high
est ever exacted for a business of
this kind in Louisiana. outside, of
the large cities. The fight just in
cepted promises to be bitterly
fought and the police jury has the
backing of the temperance people
from all sections of the parish.
