TWO SPECIAL BOUTS
AT ADRMORE MONDAY
Mike Uraine to Meet Boland While
Patsy Donovan Will Mix 1t
with Kayo Hanlon.

Matchmaker Bob Wiley OF the
Maryland Athletic and Social Club
proved yesterday that he was live
wire in the local boxing game as he
completed arrangements for his en-
tire card which will be staged at the
Ardmore Arena on Monday night.
Two special six-round bouts are to
be put on along with the main affair,
instead of the usual semi-windup.
Wiley completed details with Sam
Langford and Andrew Johnson who
are to meet in the main go over a
fifteen-round route. Langford will ar
rive here on Friday night and will
finish out his training in this city.
Andrew johnson. the big New York
heavyweight, expects to be among
those present on Sunday afternoon
and in telegram yesterday stated
that he was in tip-top shape and was
confident that he will hand the Boston
tar baby the trimming of his life.
In the first of these special six
round bouts. Mike Uraine, the fight
ing policeman, will battle Jack Bo-
land, the well known local middle
weight. Boland has been travelling
with a carnival during the past four
months, meeting all Corners, and is a
greatly improved scrapper. Pasty
Donovan who claims the flyweight
championship of the South will meet
Kayo Hanlon, a Baltimore contender,
in the other special six-rounder which
should prove to be rafting good
set-to as both of these youngsters
are hard hitting and travel at top
speed at all times.
Two preliminaries and a battle
royal will proceed these bouts. In the
first four rounder Doggie Hamilton
will mix it with Kid McCauley. while
Young frankie Duvall, of the Rose
dale Club is slated to travel four
rounds with Young Ahearn.

THE FIRST GAME.

Harry Harper's south paw jazz jolt
ed Barry's Red Sox tribe as the
Hacksensack metal dealer had one OF
his very good days, setting the wish
tors down with three hits. Babe
Ruth was not himself. and was lucky
TO get away with only having two
tallie5 scored against him.
Duffy Lewis, the demon pinch
puncher took kindly to the slants of
the Nationals southpaw hurler, and
touched his delivery for two hits, one
Of which was a triple that paved the
way for the Boston crews lone tally.
Clyde Milan used the willow in an ef-
fective manner and with the help Of
Eddie Charity. managed to pound
through the Griffmen's tallies-
Hooper opened the first inning by
getting a base on balls and was
moved up a peg on Barry's sacrifice.
Del Gainor failed to deliver and
Harry was left stranded. Harper is
sued Walker a pass in the second
and McNally placed him on second
by the sacrifice route, but Morgan
jumped into the air and stabbed
Scott's line drive, doubling Walker at
the bag
The junk dealer from New Jersey
insisted upon giving the Red SOX
chance and performed the same act
in the third session by passing Agnew
and allowing Ruth to move him up
by a sacrifice. Hooper and Barry
could not come through with the
necessary clout.
After one was down in the fourth,
Duffy Lewis tripled to right field and
scored on Walkers slow roller to
Morgan. This was the last session in
which the Boston tribe had a chance
as Harper frightened up and made six
OF them go down on strike outs.
The Nationals got to Ruth in the
third session when Charity singled to
right field and went to third on Ag-
news overthrow to second, in an at
tempt to catch Eddie stealing. Ain
smith then hit a long fly to Walker
and Charity easily beat the throw
TO the plate. In the fifth, after one
was out. Ruth paved II. Milan in the
ribs. Horace went to second on
Shank's infeld out and came through
10 the plate when his brother Clyde
smashed to center field. The score:

rigation. Reviews Pioneering on
the TOwnsite.
Nate Newcomb, the blacksmith
and one of the. past grand Odd Eel
lows of the town, has been a resi-
dent of Aberdeen for nine years, and
when asked for his opinion of the
future of dry farming he said he
believes the dry farmers have been
doing as well, financially, as those
on the irrigated farms, considering
the amount Of capital invested. Both
have their ups and downs and both
enjoy certain security in crop pros
poets when they pay the price for
security. The irrigated farmer has
paid the price when he buys water
right or does his part in helping
build the canals. The dry farmers
has paid the price when he pIows
deep, let's the land lie a year under
proper care, to accumulate a stock
of moisture and when either of these
conditions has been neglected there
has been disaster in farming. Mr..
Newcomb speaks from considerable
observation for he has been nine
years on the tract and has been
very close observer of results. He
came to Aberdeen in it's early be-
ginning and arrived on the townsite
August II, 1906, bought a row of
lots, and drew plans for a residence
and blacksmith shop the same day.
He bought the materials in Ameri-
can Falls and had to haul them out
IA miles to the present townsite and
began the erection of the buildings
the second day after he discovered
the town. There was a daily stage
between Aberdeen and American
Falls, but is was usually going the
wrong way for Mr.. Newcomb. He
mentioned that when he found a
man to haul his first load of ma
terial, he and his carpenter walked
behind the wagon because there was
no suitable transportation. When
ever there was any failure on the
part Of the lumber company to send
materials at the time they were
wanted, he would walk that 4 miles
to the lumber dealer to see what
was the matter and decide what ma
terial to get as substitutes. Besides
in the work of community
building he has been a pioneer in
Odd Fellow work in Aberdeen and
as the years went by he has always
been engaged in the work of sthe
lodge and has come to be we'll known
in the matters of grand lodge work.

an easy matter for man going into
the seed business, to get started
right and to keep himself in a posi-
ton to supply high priced seed, but
he must be true, and he must keep
his goods true to label. He can't
afford to slip in something else than
what was certified to, for he would
embarrass the man who certified to
its grade and would never be able
to again stand up and be counted
with seed men. He would merely
be rat among seed men.
When we asked Mr.. Line what
he thought of the theory of binding
clusters of alfalfa up with strings
to keep them from flashing against
each other during the wind and thus
getting more seed, he said it was in
direct contradiction to the theory of
seed men. They had been seeking
all such things as bees and wind and
whatever would tap one bloom or
spike against another to trip the lid
and let the pollen spill. They had
even run the roller over it for that
purpose, but that practice has been

not many seed men follow the prac-
tice now. Entomologists do not yet
admit that wind retards the setting
of seed nor do they longer claim that
mauling it around does it any good.
Seed men in. the Springfield coun-
try raise the best crops on land that
is rolling, and the little flats where
the water accumulates. are generally
cut for hay, while the slopes are left
for raising seed. 1t is quite deli
cate study to know in July just
which parts to cut or leave. This
year some who decided in favor of
leaving everything that would make
seed at all have been surprised to
find that it developed an amount
of seed that utterly surprised them,
and the man who would know the
reason for all these ups and downs
of the seed industry must study the
matter close enough to read all of
natures little signs correctly, for she
has her system of semaphors and
wig-wags and wireless messages for
the scout who can see and compre-
bend.
