Prof. Hills closed by outlining the re

ates considerable sum of money to this

along with others in this state, would
have additional financial aid for worn

ance along these lines. He also emf ha-
sized that this would mean a greater
financial burden on the county farm bu-
reau, as this appropriation could not be
used to pay all the necessary expenses.
In the discussion which followed, it was
suggested that the ladies of the county

England. He started with the statement
that any business which doesn't pay
must die. Too many farmers have been
dairying by means of woodlot or their
wife's bank account. There is profit in
the dairy industry, and as long as there
is profit the producer is entitled to a

nize this, as, if they are not willing

CUSTOM OF ANIMALS
GOOD FOR HUMANS

All the higher ANIMALS so through
certain exercises on first awakening.
There seems universal instinct
Which teaches that certain stretches,
expansions and breathings are neces-
sary at this time. The movements OF
animals on awakening are yawning,
deep breathing and stretching. But
men rarely take such exercises AS a
matter of fact, man possibly takes
more time, Whines more and does less
than any other animal between the
moment of awaking and standing
erect
Although the stretch has been care
fully explained by science, few know
the real meaning. The stretch extends
the body, SO that the veins, where
congestion is most liable to take place
and where pressure of blood is weak
est, are so elongated that the blood
flows more easily from the arteries
where the pressure is strongest
through the veins back to the heart.
and circulation is equaiized and slim
ulated.
The yawn is almost similar to the
stretch. The yawn is Il stretch of the
lungs, while the stretch is yawn of
the muscles. and both expresses a hun
ger for oxygen. The half hour between
waking and rising should be fresh
ened by thoughts of joyous things
chncklinG, laughing, stretching and
sawning.

Crusades to Abolish
Boxing In Past Have
Always Been Futile

New York, Feb. 22-When pug
list is killed while engaged in the
practice of his peculiar profession, an
anti-boxing crusade follows with all
the certainty of taxes The people
who foster these crusades look upon
boxers as low-brow brutes who could
well be spared, but when one Of them
is bumped off their grief is so poig-
nant that one would imagine the de-
Asia matter Of fact, boxing causes
fewer fatalities or serious injuries
than any other active sport.
Aside from the alleged brutality of
boxing, the principal objection seems
to be that promoters, managers and
boxers make money out Of the game.
This, of course, is highly reprehensi-
BILE, but the fact remains that every
body is engaged in trying to accumu-
late money. That some of the boxers
get much more than they are worth
is admitted by all fans, but the sup
porters of the game can provide a
remedy without seeking outside as
sistance.
1t is true, also, that many undesir-
able characters are connected with
the sport, but the same is true of any
line of human activity. Boxing has
been a popular sport for two centur-
les, and in that period thousands of
attempts have been made to suppress
it. All of these crusades have failed.
The answer seems to be that boxing
fills a real human need.

TEX KELLY MAY
GIVE ROSS A GREAT
SURPRISE TUESDAY

Those who went to New York to see
Young McAuliffe box Battling Reddy
before the F'airmont A. c. a few weeks
ago will recall Tex Kelly, who took
part in the seni-final. Kelly made a
great showing that evening and local
enthusiasts will be glad to know he
has been signed to tackle Hugh Ross
in one OF the bouts to be staged a.
the Park theatre next Tuesday night.
Kelly is a, willing mixer. He keeps
both hands going and Ross will need
all his skill to get out of harms way.
The. bout is scheduled for ten rounds
Johnny Hayes, who meets Young
McAuliffe in the star bout, was on the
card at the Broadway Sporting club
in Brooklyn when Hugh Ross fought
there recently. Hayes won handily
that nigh. and Ross was favorably i'm
pressed by his work. McAuliffe does
not anticipate an easy time with
Hayes so he is putting in plenty of
training at Levinsky's camp in STRAIT
ford. This affair is also booked for
ten rounds.
Those two old rivals, frankie Con-
frey of New York, and Battling Kunz
Of South Norwalk, will get together in
a third ten rounder. Conifrey needs
no introduction to local FANS He has
always done well in his appearances at
the Casino. Kunz holds the light
weight title of the state so he can't af-
ford to let Conifrey beat him. The
six round preliminary between Johnny
Bennett and Johnny Sharpe ought to
be a corker.

CHEF BENDER OF
PHILLlES HANDED
RELEASE PAPERS
s

Philadelphia, Feb. 22.-Chief Albert
Bender, the veteran Indian pitcher
land former Athletic worlds series star,
was yesterday handed his uncondi-
tional releases by President Baker of
the Philadelphia Nationals. Bender
was in the sbig league for IA seasons.
Only month ago the Philadelphia
Eclub blocked Bender's opportunity to
become manager of the Toronto club
when it refused to release the Chief
after Toronto failed to turn over
Thompson, young outfielder and
pitcher, for the, Indian. The Toronto
opening then was offered to Nap La
joie, who accepted it.
Bender came to the Athletics in 1903
after playing with the Harrisburg A.
&c. Prior to that he pitched for Car
Isle and Dickinson College. He be-
came a star as soon aus he put on a big
league uniform.
Until he was badly battered in the
1914 worlds series Bender remained
one of the premier pitching stars Of
the game. He was with the Baltimore
Federals in 1915 and pitched for the
Phillies last season. Bender has Of

Fitzsimmons Fought
Famous Battle With
Maher in Mexican Ring

It was Fl years ago that Bob Tftz-

their famous battle on Mexican soil
near Langtrey, Tex. This contest
lasted one minute and IS seconds, but
it had more action in It than lots Of
present day ten round affairs. The
Irishman started the ball rolling by
landing an awful wauop that would
have given any ordinary>fghter a long

who connected with It wasn't any or

Bob afterwards confessed that that
was the stiffest punch he was ever
called upon to asSim&late, but he man
aged to get up in time to save himself
from defeat, and quickly turned the
tables by putting one over that Maher
couldn't digest in the brief time al

were disappointed that the fight didn't
last longer, but all were satisfied that

ABE AT TELL, ALL
THROUGH AS NIT
ARTIST, ONLY ON SO

Thirty three years old today--he
was born in San Francisco on Wash
ington's birthday in 1884-Abe Attell
has at. last been forced to the con-
clusion that he is all through as a
boxer. The clever little Hebrew
ring general who was for years the
monarch Of the featherweights, has
been through for several years, but
he has refused to admit.
Last month Abraham was seized
with hankering to put on the gloves
again and met Phil Virgets in New
Orleans. Yirgets, unknown, unher-
aided and unsung, was awarded the
victory over the ex-champion, in the
fourth round, but it was really Dad
dy Time that got Abe's goat. Attell
looked like a comeback for a little
while, but in the fourth round he
crumpled up, completely exhausted
and was unconscious for five hin
utes.
It was just five. years ago today
that Attell lost the featherweight title
to Johnny Kilbane in a twenty round
bout at Vernon. { The following No
vember Abe met Oliver Kirk in ST,
Louis, and in the sixth round he
quit, publicly announcing his retire
ment from the ring. Within a few
months he had yielded to the temp
tation to try a comeback and met
Kirk again, knocking him out. Since
then Abe has been alternately retir-
ing and trying to come back, but his
latest attempt was so disastrous that
he will probably quit for good this
time. -;

BRINDISI PUT OUT

The knockout came after 10 rounds Oh
uninteresting milling, during which
time Shea held the whip hand against
the rugged but less experienced Italian
battler.
There have been many knockouts in
local rings, but none can compare
with that of last night for sensation

a right hook to the jaw and the Italian
went shooting out through the ropes

Last season, writes Harry Bloom in the

The American association has been
involved in more deals concerning
major league players than the other

fall the league hopes to demonstrate in
a more tangible manner it's superiority
over its rival Class AA circuit when It
clashes with the International league.
The association has grabbed by far
the largest number of players drop
ping out of the faster set and Is slight
ly ahead on the nAzmber OF players

the Southern league shows more ac-
tive major league connection than the
Pacific Coast league.
The latter circuit catches lot Of
performers after they drop out of the
