Any number of retired major leagu-

return to the game next spring if
there is any demand for their ser
vices. There comes report from
Boston that the gyms there are pack

Duffy Lewis has organized a ball
team among the sailors at the Mare
Island navy yards and plans quite a
few games of baseball among the Cali

The curious thing is that in spite of
his unquestioned superiority over all
the other heavyweights, Fred Fulton
has never been able to muster a real
following. He would have little trous
BILE in coaxing Jess Willard back into

supporters. Willard shows so little
inclination to box Fulton or anyone

No one seems to really believe that
Fulton would put up real fight
against Willard and yet there's no de-

in the class, He is only twentysix
years old and fine physical speci-

But is he?
Recently it rained-rained torrents

the next day with the familiar pail
and lemons, sponge and towel of the
fight game. After Schneider's each in
ming Sammy swung the towel, thrust
the bottle down Petes gullet and
sponged his head and face. With the
result that Schneider had one of his
best seasons and usually looked able
to go eighteen innings If it came to
that.
Seine is a hot fight fan and a
great booster for Cincinnati's scrappy
little bantam. Sandow declares that
with Schneider in his corner he could
scrap at high speed for forty rounds
and both regard their partnership as
great help in their different profess
sions. Some of Shadows most import

chief second when he fought Johnny

Another way of bolstering up the big

more of the Cuban baseball stars.

The outlook for Montana's ability
to carry more than her share of pro-
ducing, is favorable. The govern
ment crop report states the condition
of wheat throughout the whole United
States is 63.4 per cent of the ten year
average and 86.2 per cent of the nor
NAL average. Happily for Montana,
the condition is reported as SO per
cent forboth the ten year average and
the normal condition. This report,
showing the Montana crops to be in
excess of general average conditions
throughout the nation is gratifying in
this moment of necessity for strong
production and the outlook for ex-
traordinary prices.
Ample Seed Supply
Producers are mapping larger areas
for spring seeding-in fact, the larg-
est ever. There now remains on farms

an ample seed supply. Spring work
