PRISON FARMERS BUSY
Inmates of State Penitentiary Will
Raise Big War Crops.

Leavenworth, Kan, May 3o.-Early
indications are the intensified farm
ing campaign on the great tract at the
state penitentiary at Lansing is prov
ing an unqualified success, and will
save the state many thousands of dol
lars, usually expended in foodstuffs
for the prisoners.
At the beginning of the season War
den j. K. Codding announced his be-
lief that the prison farm of 1900 acres
should be put on war duty" Conse-
quently he placed the work in charge
of three prison officials and 73 in
mates, all chosen for their farm ex-
perience.
Especial attention has been given to
corn and more than 200 acres will be
harvested this fall. Potatoes have
been planted on fifty acres, and sweet
potatoes en- thirty. Sixty acres of
wheat, thlrty-five of onions, sixty of
clover and twenty OF beans, peas, let
tuce and other small vegetables are
unoer cultivation. The prisoners
also, are working forty acres of to-
bacco, which will be made into chew
ing tobacco for use at the prison.
An illustration of the saving the
state will ealize is shown by the faci
that the farm will produce 1000 bush
els of onions, an amount which will
carry tbs prison thru until the 1915
harvest.

SAME old BENNY
Leonard Says New Crown Has
Not Changed Him Any.
Title Does Not Make Him Feel
a Whit Different.

New York. May sO,-"The funny
part of it is I do not feel like a
champion, I feel just exactly like
Benny Leonard, who was begging for
a chance to knock Freddie Welsh out
and bring the worlds lightweight
championship back to America"
That's how Benny Leonard express
ed himself today as he described His
feelings after he had annexed Welsh S
lightweight crown.
I went home feeling kind of funny
and happy and when I awakened
Tuesday morning 1 yelled to mother
to give ME some dope or something,
because / didn't feel a bit different
You know when fellow is after
something right hard and won't resi-
until he gets it, he sort of feels he
should feel like a different man when
he finally lands it. But it isn't that
way at all, I'm just plain Benny Leon
ard and glad of it.
when I got home from the figh:
there were hundreds of people in
front of the house. They yelled and
yelled until I stuck my head out of
the window. They wanted me to
make a speech, but I couldn't say any
thing. I Just held up my hands, YELL
ed I love yez ALL and ran back
Leonart was asked what he thinks
of Johnny Kilbane, the man who
started Welsh down the decline by
whipping him soundly just before
Leonard won the championship
He's p grand little fellow" Leon
arc replied, but I feel sure I'll ston
him when we meet. I don't care il
it's six :'ounds or twenty, I Just have
the feeling that I can do it,

PLANS TITLE co
Jack Kearns Hopes to Get Jess
willard Into a Ring.
Live Promoter Wants Him to
Go Against Carl Morris.
BY JACK VEIOCK.

New York. May 3O.-There will be
at least one big championship fistic
battle before summer is over if Jack
kearns has his way.
The hustling San Francisco pro-
moter-youngest of the fistic impre-
sarios-is. working on a proposition
to get Jess Willard in the ring for
twenty-round battle with Carl Nor
ris or some other heavyweight, and
he hopes to stage the affair at Reno
or Tia Juana.
At this writing Willard is on his
lazy tour with a circus, and Morris is
getting ready for his muss with
Frank Moran in New York. But af-
ter the Morris-Moran fight is over
there will be reason for the fistic pub
lie to look forward to another battle
for the championship on American
soil, particularly if Morris wins. And
to say the least the time seems ripe
for it.
Fans Eager for Bout.
A battle for the heavyweight crown
over the championship distance
would be welcomed by the boxing
fans The last battle of champion
ship calibre was the Johnson Flynn
fasco at Las Vegas, and it did not
fries mill at Reno, then, was in real
ity the last big battle between heavy
weights that had the earmarks of a
real argument, and that was almost
y
The Johnson-Jeffr battle at Reno
/ drew nearly S175,000, which was a
record. But it wasn't fought in war
| times, and it is highly probable that
no heavyweight will ever again be
given the inducements that were Of
fered the principals in that battle.
Wizards Demands.
! Willard, if he really wants to fight
again, should be satisfied with a purse
CT $4,000 to $40, O0O-depending alto
gether on where the battle might be
held-while Morris or any of the other
would-be champions could be grabbed
for $4,000 to $4,000. So a twenty
round battle for Wizards title ought
10 cost less than 100000 and should
draw around S150,0O0. Considering
the fact that these be war times these
figures seem conservative, and this is
the basis on which the promoters are
planning to stage the next heavyweight
title attraction.
While waiting to line up a heavy
weight championship battle, JACK
Kearns is busy with the promotion OF
the WIaddek Zybszko-Strangle Lewis
heavyweight wrestling match which Is
slated for San Francisco June 5. The
winner of this match is to be hooked
up with Earl Caddock for the worlds
heavyweight championship, and ths
match is planned for Frisco, July 4.
The Golden West is waking III
again.

BIG AUTO CLASSIC
Speed Demons Race at Cincin-
natl for a $4,000 Prize.
Ruth Law Flies Over Track as
Part of Program.

CINCINNATI O., May 30.-Despite a
hazy sky that threatened rain before
the time for the big race, speed fans
began gathering here at daybreak this
morning to witness the running of the
250-mile International sweepstakes
auto race this afternoon, the winner
of which will draw down S12,500 in
cash.
Most of the early birds at the track
came in autos, some of whom ar
rived Tuesday night after touring
from distant points. Indiana alone
will be represented by several thou
sand visitors at the big race.
AS the day advanced the sun
seemed to be winning its battle with
the clouds and threatened to break
thru with it's full strength before
noon. Down town last night hotels
were crowded as they have not been
for years.
Twenty EIGHT cars were slated to
start in the big race which Starter
Fred Wagner promises to start at
2:30.
Before the race there were two
aviation exhibitions in which Ruth
Law, Katharine Stinson. Baxter
Adams and Carl Kurtz were to pu1
on their choicest thrills in the way
of dips, cpirals and loops. There also
was a twenty mile race for EordS
which had ten starters. and a. free
for-all event of thirty miles, in which
ten amateur drivers WIRE carded to
start.
Despite his we'll known jinx, Ralph
De Palma and his twelve cylinder
Packard have been installed as favor
| ties in tho big race. De Palma made
/ the best time in the qualif1ca ton
| trials, 100 miles an hour and has his
machine apparently in better tune
