Homer Baker, one of the greatest
haf-mile runners of years, is leaving
the New York A. G. and will be a
member of the Chicago A. A. track
squad in 1916. Baker is a cartoonist.

Joe Tinker doesn't like Tampa as
a training camp, compared to
Shreveport, and will take the ANAL
gamated Cubs to the latter city if
there is possible chance of break
ing the contract Charley Thomas
signed with Tampa business men
when he was president of the Cubs.
Charley Williams, secretary of the
new Cubs, has visited both places
with baseball teams and is steadily
plugging for Shreveport Williams
claims the diamond in the latter
place is in better condition and be-
heves the weather is better. Tampa,
however, offers more in the way of
competition with other big league
teams, as several have their condi-
tioning camps in that vicinity.
Tinker was surprised when he
found the salaries some of the Cub
athletes were receiving, AMI few of
them will have to go in order to cut
down the salary list.
Jack Lapp, Athletic catcher, who

weight title and about the only fell

ing as an opponent for the champion.
Moran's victory over Jim Coffey in
New York last night was decisive and
clean-cut, with nothing of the ffuke
about it. He carried powerful wal
lop, had the utmost confidence in its
potency and turned it loose at the
proper moment to sweep aside the
claims of the Roscommon giant.
Coffey is good boxer. There is
no question of that. For seven rounds
he outclassed Moran, who appeared
to be waiting. If the battle had been
decided on points at the end OF the
seventh it would have belonged to
Coffey by a wide margin.
But in the eighth Moran limbered
his right and a terrific swing to the
Jaw had Coffey staggering when he
went to his corner. A shower of
rights and lefts in the ninth floored
Coffey repeatedly and he was on the
floor when his seconds tossed up the
sponge. 1t was the second time.
Moran had knocked him out. The
Pittsburgher proved he can box as
well as Willard and he can also slug,
for, before the eighth, he had landed
few blows. He seemed confident of
being able to do damage when he
wished to and was giving the fans
good entertainment for their money.
Plans will Immediately he pushed
for matching Willard and Moran, the
fight to take place some time in
March at New Orleans. Promoters
there are anxious for the bout and
Moran would like nothing better than
a try at the title. 1t is up to Willard
and his camp.

TOWNS TO SOUTH GIVE
PROMISE OF SENDING
GOODT,Y DEL EG ATOMS

The second sociability auto run last
Friday aroused much enthusiasm in
every town visited and undoubtedly
stirred many residents of the route
taken into determination to visit and
see the fair. Promptly at 1 o'clock
twelve cars swung out Of Main street
on the direct run to Brooten, which
was reached about 2:30. Brooten gave
a most royal welcome, seemingly ev-
cry resident having turned out about
the main business block to greet the
visitors, hear the concert by the Sauk
Centre band and the invitation speech
cf A. F. Strebel which was vocifer-
ously applauded. Not to be outdone,
Belgrade also turned out a big crowd
when that bustling little town was
reached. Both of these places pro-
missed to send large crouds to the big
county show, Sept. 1923. On the
swing back from Belgrade, stops were
made at Elrosa, Greenwald and Metre
Grove, at each of which places the
band gave concerts and the Sauk Cen
treites mingled with the residents, ex-
tending the glad hand and inviting
them to come to their own fair, to
bring their products for exhibition, to
take in the sights and enjoy the a.
musements.

immortalized in song along with the
speck on the fly on the wart on the
frog on the log in the hole in the
bottom of the sea-" and the. equally
famous "bird in the egg in the nest
on the twig on the limb in the tree
on the ground" where it is related
that the 'green grass grew all around
all around" "Pecco," who is the
chief figure in the story, is rather
modest about the accomplishment,
but "Issy" as witness vouches for
the truth of the story. 1t started
when "Pecco" cast minnow, imme-
diately catching a small perch. Be-
ing rather short of bait, he hooked
the perch firmly and cast again, this
time catching a sunfsh. He then
used the sunfsh for bait and in a
moment brought up a large bass,
which had choked to death while try
ing to take the sunfish in one bite.
To complete the series of catches the
bass was dropped into the water and
while rowing in to shore the alligator
which had recently been discovered in
the lake, snapped at the bass and was
hooked. But so far the alligator has
not been placed on display at Sauer's
and there are some doubling Thomas
es who are strangely skeptical.'

from present indications there will be
more interest here this year than ever
before. The great number of automo-
biles and the increased interest in the
exhibits among the farmers of this
immediate vicinity will tend to swell
the number of admissions from this.

party left for Albany.
The Sauk Centre fair has always
been a successful enterprise but in
these later years it has grown won
derfully and the interest of all parts
of the county greatly stimulated. Es-
pecially is this true of Holdingford
and vicinity. The Sauk Centre boos-
tiers openly stated here on Monday
that Holdingford sent the largest del
egation to the fair last year of any
town, not even barring St. Cloud. And
poor old st. Cloud almost thinks it
owns the fair.
Holdingford is planning a trip to
the Benton County fair at Sauk Ra-
pids next week. There is no reason
why trip to Sauk Centre cannot be
made the following week. We have

we ever had who are anxious to join

She told him, according to his testi-

could see no direct evidence against
Jones except hers and she would not
