Ritchie Won't Outweigh
 Johnny Dundee Much

New York Sept. 2s-The weight rule of the Boxing Commission for bidding a boxer to weigh ten pounds more than his opponent will not be violated when Willie Ritchie and Johnny Dundee meet in the Garden on October.7. Rumors have been rifs since the match was made that Ritchia would have at least ten pounds on Dundee: However, Ritchie will be well under 40 pounds, and Dundee intends to enter the ring at about 132 pounds. I Under thtse conditions Ritchie will only have a few pounds advantage, which will not bother the Italian, who boxed the Westerner on the coast when the latter weighed 142 pounds and himself 128

Dick Dudolph,
 Like Other Braves,
 Failed in New. York

Dick Rudolph, the stellar pellet pusherf of the Boston Braves, will celebrate tomorrow the fifth anniver- sary of his National League debut. Rudolph, a native of New York city, had his first chance in the main show with McGraw's Giants, and, by an. odd coincidence, he made his pre- rniere in Boston against the Braves, then the humble Doves. On that his toric last day of September, 1910, the young twirler, who had just passed his twenty-first birthday, helped the Giants to win by a score of ' to 8. Dick pitched only part of the pas time, and in one inning the Boston ians got two hits and one run off his delivery, but he famed two men and gave no passes. Rudolph had been purchased by McGraw from the Tor onto club, and after a, brief trial, the Giant leader decided he wouldn't do, and sent him back to the 1nterna- tiona1 League. It was not until 1913 that Rudolph got another chance in the National circuit, this time with Boston, the first club that had op- posed him. Rudolph still caNs New York home, but the greatest joy of his life is to huniIiate the Giants, and after such occasions he wears for days the smile that won't come off.
 The bald-hea1ed twirIer is not the only member of the Boston club who has occasion to treasure grouch against New York. Manager Stallings was retired as pilot of the Yankees after he made a better showing than had any of his predecessors for years. Pitcher George Davis, who broke in- to the rl1melight with Boston last year as a no-hit hero, was fired from the Yankees by Manager Chance. Hank Gowdy, like Rudolph, was a cast-off of the Giants, MeGraw swap

ed to make good with the New York Americans. Smith, the Boston third sacker wore the Brooklyn uniform for some time. Outfielder Moran is another ex-Dodger. Devore, who was with the Braves last year, was a former Giant, and Snodgrass is a re- cent addition to the Brave roster af- ter having been canned by McGraw. The famous twirler of the worlds champions has a license to be -peeved at his summary dismissal by McGraw, for Rudolph was born in the vicinity of the Polo Grounds and the old Giants were the heroes of his youth. To have made good with the Polo Grounders would, have been the joy ous realization of his boyhood dreams. Pitchers, like prophets, are seldom honored in their own neighborhoodS, however, and Rudolph has had plenty of consolation. For one thing, he may be certain that the Yitt1e Napol-' con, gazing upon the sad and solemn wreck of a once mighty baseball ma chine, bitterly regrets that he let Ru- dolph and Gowdy get out of his hands.
 F The reserve rule has been a feature of organized baseball for 35 years. Tomorrow will be the anniversary of a meeting of the National. League magnates, held in Buffalo on Sept. 30, was entered into permitting each club in the circuit to reserve five men for the 1880 season. This action seemed necessary to the preservation of the game, but the magnates feared that the public would condemn it as mo nopoliistic and unsportsmanlike, and the proceedings were held behind closed doors. Prior to that time the players had been free agents, and could sell their services to the highest bidder.

 OF RING BATTLES

179o-DanieI Mendoza defeated Richard HumphFies in Is minutes at Doncaster, England. "Gentleman" Humphries was considered the clev- crest boxer in England and was the pet of the aristocracy, to whom he gave lessons in the manly art. Men doza was Jew, and this fact gained for him bitter enemies as we'll as many friends and packers among his own people. Dan and Humphries had been friends, but when the Prince of Wales became a, patron of the Jew the 'tGentleman', became jealous. In 178S Humphries fought and defeated Mendoza, but in the following year the Israelite turned the tables. The third meeting, which would decide which was the better man, attracted wide attention The arena was in sufficient to accommodate the crowd, and many belated buyers of tickets paid as high as $50 for pasteboards which had originally sold for $40. Mendoza's easy triumph so discourag- ed Humphries that he never fought again. He afterward entered business as a coal merchant and anassed considerable fortune.

Polish Farmers Resolution.

Below we publish the resolu-
ton adopted by the Polish Farm
er's Association recently organ
lied among the men of that nat
ionality around Eagle River.
To the men of our race in the United
States, we wish to express our faith
in the agricultural possibilities and
resources of Villas County, Wisconsin
near Eagle River. In the agricultural
development of this section, the Fol
ish people have been leaders and pio-
neers. We have found the land fertile
and productive. We have the respect
and confidence of the entire commun-
ity. We have had equal opportunity
with men of every race and national
ity. We have found the livestock and
dairy industry profitable. We know
from actual experience during per-
iod of years, that with cheap land,
splendid markets, abundant growth
of grasses, soils and climate adapted
to the production of grains and root
crops, any ma of honest intent aud
willingness to work can be successful
in making a farm home in our COM
munity. 10 the man seeking an oppor-
tunity we recommend these facts for
his consideration.
Land is cheap and values are rapid
~ rising; there is no expense for fuel.
There are no dry summers, no dry
pastures, no sinking alkali water;
there are no hot winds to parch the
grain; no hailstorms, no floods, and
tornadoes. There are no live stock di-
seases, no hoof and mouth disease, no
cattle tick. There is no malaria, no
chills and fever. There are no soil di-
seases. We have made our homes here
because we have faith in ourselves
and in this country. We are successful
y and profitably growing peas, bar
ley, oats, clover and root crops, great
err than can be grown in the SO called
corn belt. We put our faith in cooper
alive and comm unity effort. We pledge
our welcome to any man of honest
purpose who wishes to share our bless
ings and opportunities.
The resolution bespeaks the ct
fort of the association to become
representative and progressive
in the development of this coun-
ty of the big Dairy Dollar

RURAL FREE DELIVERY
Efforts Being Made to Give
Better Postal Service to the
Farmers Preparing Appli-
cation.

Application will be made for a
rural free delivery around Eagle
River. The vicinity has enough
farmer patrons to insure its sue
cess and it is hoped that the ap-
plication will be granted.
A rural free delivery will be OF
great value to farmers along the
route. Within the last few years
the vicinity about town has been
well settled, every road leading
to some little community. Rural
delivery will be a help TO those
communities.
Several years ago application
was made for a rural route but
was held up for political reasons.
Atpresent conditions seem favor
able. the country IS more thicklv
settled and the roads are in good
condition. These factors will be
taken into consideration.
This section needs a rural free
delivery. 1t is commensurate with
the development of the country
and besides being a convenience
for the present settlers will be a
valuable asset in the further de-
velopment of the land of the Big
