Australian Pug
Has Bad Luck in
Working HOldups

NEW YORK. Nov. files Darcy. the
Australian middleweight sensation, seems
to be In danger OF losing favor with
Snowy Baker. the promoter. who enjoys
a monopoly of boxing In the island con-
tinent. In letter mailed Just before the
Darcy-Clabby bout Baker accuses Darcy
OF attempting to find an excuse for back
ing out of his engagement TO meet Eddie
McGoorty In n return match. What par
ticularly rlled the promoter was that in
order to find an excuse for sidesteppins
McGoorty, the Australian demanded an
extra 6 per cent of the gate receipts,
which was a heinous crime In Bakers
estimation.
According 10 the promoter Darcy first
agreed to meet his former victim at
catchweights, then he changed his mind
and insisted upon 1eO pounds. the middle
weight limit in Australia. After some
argument McGoorty consented, and then
Darcy made his oliver Twist demand
for more money Baker wakes very IN
dignant over this. explaining that u has
always been his custom to give the box
ers 30 per cent OF the receipts and no
more. Baker says that he fatty refused
Darcy's demands and that his stand IN
the matter was backed up by all the
sporting writer's. many of them accusing
the native son of being anxious to avoid
McGoorty.

WHY INTEREST rs LESSENED
Ry FRANK auIGLEY.


Although 1t is difficult to determine
why interest In local independent foot

less. such is the case. Just recently the
football devotees woke up and startled
the locals by manifesting unusual in
terest in the two names staged, on which
hinged the championship. namely. the
Monmouth Park-Columbian tussle and
the Nonpariel-Columbian battle. The last
mentioned quarrel proved the best at
traction of the season. and the largest
crowd was on deck to witness It,
As far as the interest is concerned
among the local leather egg manipula-
tors. It has increased far beyond the
expectations of the dopesters, because
many extra teams have been organized
this season. Probably the grabbing so
common in the independent football has
something to do with the deficit in inter-

the locals are we'll. pleased with the
results obtained this season.
Now that the interest is ripe, large
crowd. II climatic conditions are favor

Luxus park today. to witness the
struggle for football supremacy between
the Nonpareils. champions of Omaha and
Wisner, the champions of the state. To
date this season, the Nonpariels have
scored approximately $50 points. and
their opponents failed to register. and
their team will be stronger today. be-

is also a person named Mclaughlin who

matter who is ranked number one there
is sure to be dispute.

Charley over the long route for the

his manager can chase Freddie from

as the Chicago boy packs that perfect

Freddie several miles ahead of them.
Foot ball experts are making q des-
perate effort to award the honor of the
greatest coach of 1915 TO some of the
mentors who have turned out winning
teams this year. and they are having
little success in making an agreement.
We might mention a chap named stiehm

VIII we have peace in base ball or
will we not? A casual judgment taken
from appearances on the surface is that
the old fight will be continued for an
other year by the major magnates, who
seem bent on making business for the
base ball undertakers.
Omaha will see its first inter-city SOC

north end aggregation will be made up
OF Monmouth Parks and Columbians and

Comes from Pacific
Coast on the Same
Set of Auto Tires

Climbing the steep grades on the hill
streets Of Council Bluffs in an automobile
equipped with tires that rolled across
mountain and desert from the Pacific
coast to the Missouri without ever once
requiring an instant's attention was the
unusual experience of a lot Of Bluffs
and Omaha newspaper men yesterday
afternoon. The trip was made for the
purpose of demonstrating the newest
practical thing in automobile tires-the
Lambert Airless Puncture-proof tires.
f. Ellsworth Robinson. general sales
agent of the Lambert Multiplus company
of Oakland, Cal, manufacturer OF the
tires, and principal stock holder In the
company, is making the demonstration.
He arrived yesterday and became the
guest of his old friend, former Mayor
NJ F. Rohrer The test of the tires Is
being made on a now 1916 Studebaker
car owned by Henry Marshall olmstead
Of Salt Lake City, who is the general
agent for the Lambert tires at that
point Although they stopped at the
Fontenelle hotel In Omaha, both gentle
men were THE guests yesterday of Mr..
Rohrer. 90
The tires stood the severe strain OF the
long journey apparently without appre-
ciable wear and not the slightest injury.
Mr.. Rohrer, who has become an en-
thusiastic automobile driver, has become
so much interested in the Lambert tire
that he has secured the general agency
for western Iowa, and although the COM
pany is about five months In arrears in
filling its orders. he expects, by reason
Of his friendship and long acquaintance
with it's promoters. TO be able to promptly
fill all orders.
Tests have shown the tires will run
5000 miles and will last the ordinary
lifetime of a car by being reiterated

A FEW SHEEP ON FARM
WILL SERVE YOU WELL.
Besides Supplying You With Mutton
and Wool They Are Good
Weed Scaveneers.

1t is certain from long observation of
sheep by many practical men that a
limited number of this useful animal
may be carried on almost any farm In
the land at a very trifing cost to the
owner, writes 4 Virginia farmer in the
Farm and Home.
Many plants and much other heritage
that other stock will not eat are read
lily appropriated by sheep. They are
great bramble and plant s~cavengers.
and, while they prefer and will travel
a long way TO find green. %suceulent and
tender browsing, almost anything that
is green and succulent will be eaten by
them.
For this reason it is an excellent plan
to have a few sheep to browse over the
cattle pastures of the farm and weed
out the coarse plants that hinder the
good grasses that cattle prefer from
attaining their best growth.
Though one may prefer to feed his
flock with some liberality, enough to
maintain the sheep in good plight and
health at all seasons. yet no domestic
animal can live and thrive and be con
tent upon S % little feed as will the
sheep. For the man of small means no
species of stock offers such induce
ment as does the domestic sheep, ma
tives or cross breeds.
Besides the annual clip of wool. there
are the byproducts of the and
an occasional mutton to sell to the
butcher besides the yearly increase
from lambs and the pelts of those
slaughtered upon the farm.
If sheep are duly housed or penned
at night year in and year out the
amount Of manur that may be saved
from one or two dozen animals will
amount to quite an item in the curse
Of a year. And no domestic manure Is
richer in fertility or in better shape to
handle and apply or better suited to
any crop than that of the sheep.
