says the United States department OF
agriculture, toward assuring the pro-

grains which the department hopes
to see harvested next year.
II the winter grains are to be
grown on land devoted to similar
grains during the preceding season.
the land should be plowed as soon as
the old crops are removed and &C.

the weeds until planting time. The
blowing should be to depth of about
seven inches. Just before planting
time the land should be narrowed II
fairly moist and free from weeds;
otherwise 1t should be disked and
narrowed.
Wheat and rye may follow prac-
tically any crop which may be got
out of the way in time. Where a
choice is possible, however. 1t is bet
ter to have these grains follow a
cultivated crop. preferably legumin-

EASTERN LEAGUE MAY BE
 SUED BY CREDITORS
Baseball Officials of Puritan States Circuit May Be Hailed Into Court to Answer Bill in Equity

The Eastern league may be haled into court within few days to an swer to a bill in equity on behalf of creditors of Joseph P. Sullivan, who operated the Lawrence baseball fran chise up to Aug. l last summer. At torney John c. Toomey is counsel for certain creditors who have demanded a showdown, and Attorney Toomey says he is planning the above move.
 The principal item in the account is for repair work done on the fence and grandstand just before the opening of the season When Jack O'Hara came here as manager in August Attorney Toomey made an attempt to collect the bill from him, but the attorney claims MT O'Hara informed him he had a clear bill of sale and was there fore not responsible for any debts con- tracted previous to his coming.
 Attorney Toomey further claims he has g. letter from President Daniel O'Neil of the Eastern league stating that the club had been sold. Later it developed that the franchise was not sold, but was being run by the league

THE WORLDS CHAMPIONS.

Who are the worlds champions in the various fstic divisions2' demands a correspondent, to which we make re- ply to the best of our feeble ability as follows, to wit:
 F1yweight, Jimmy Wilde of England.
 Bantamweight, Johnn Ertle of St. Paul
 Featherweight, Johnny Kilbane of Cleveland
 Lightweight, Freddy Welsh of Wales
 Welterweight, Jack Britton of Chi cago.
 Middleweight, Al Mccoy of Brooklyn.
 Light heavyweight, Battling Levin sky of Bridgeport.
 Heavyweight, Jess Willard of Kan sas.

 Levinsky and Welsh are masters on defense, especially in short bouts. They do not do much to the other fellow. but they do not let the other fellow do anything to them. Jack Britton iB exceptionally clever, both on onense and defense, but he is not much of a hitter.
 Al Mccoy is a clumsy fellow. who can take a terrific beating, and who has a dangerous sock in his left hand if he can ever connect. Willard is just Willard; uncommonly big. and uncom- monly strong but with little artistry and with not enough knowledge of the fighting game to carry him very far did he not possess his abnormal size and physical powers.
 KiIbane is a smart fighter. He can do everything that a really great ring man should be able to do, and do it well.

SPORTING NOTES.

Les Darcy claims after seeing Fred Fulton muss of Charley Weinert so quickly in their ten-round o-decision bout over in New York that he would rather tackle Jess Willard for the heavyweight title than Fulton. Darcy thinks that big Jess is too good na- tured to give a contender a real beat ing, while Fulton has no sympathy at all in his makeup.

Whatever doubt ever existed as to the right of Fred Fulton being class enough to meet Jess Willard for the worlds heavyweight crown has now been dispelled The big clustering champion has done everything that the critics have asked him to do. What is more, his quick defeat of Charley Weinert has stamped him as having every chance in the world to beat the cowboy champion.
