Mike Mahoney of Stevens coun-
ty held a hail insurance policy in
the Minnesota Farmers Mutual Of
Minneapolis. After hail destroy
edhis crops 1t was found that the
description written in the policy
covered quarter section owned
by another party instead of the
one upon which the crops insured
were growing. For this reason the
company refused to pay the loss.
In the district court Judge Flaher.
itv held that the error in descrip-
tion did not relieve the company
from responsibility and the supreme
court has just affirmed Judge Fla
herity's ruling and Mr.. Mahoney
will now receive the insurance
money due him.

 H0MMEY IN NlNTn

New York. March 32-Benny Leon- ard, claimant of the American light weight championship stopped Packey Homrney in mine rounds at the Fair mont A. c. last night. Horrmey conn., p1eted nine rounds against Leonard, ibtH when the bell rang for the tenth round Homm@y was unable to re- SDond. Thus, Leonard technically stopped HoEnnmey in the tenth round without a blow being struck
 Leonard gave Hodnney a boxing lesson throughout the bout. Packey 'weathered the storm fairly well until the eighth Fo,hnd. when Leonard sud- denly feinted with his left and crash ed over his right against Hommeys jaw. Packey plumped against the ropes and would have fallen but for their support. The bell came to his rescue.
 In the ninth round Benny resumed his pounding of Hommey, and after about minute of boxing again shot across the deadly right to the chin. This time Ho5nmey was in his own corner and the ropes were of no avail He Topped to the floor and took a count Of nine. Leonard continued his bombaFdnemt when Packey arose, but Honamey managed to last till. the bell rang.
 When the gong sounded for the tenth round Honmey was unable to toe the mark, and the referee declared the bout at an end, Oae of Hen- 5neys seconds said he thought the Boxers jaw was broken by Leonard S punch.

WHEAT ENDS HIS
 HOLDouT; TO GET BONUS FOR HITTING

Hot Springs, Ark. March 22-With the signing of Buck Wheat yesterday morning Casey Stengel is the only Dodger outside of the fold. Wheat's contract calls for the highest salary paid to any Noutfielder in the National league, with the exception of Bob Bescher, who holds wartime con- tract. The contract provides a cer tain sum, with a bonus if he hits 300 or better Last year Buck hit .312, and he feels confident that he will do even better this year. The only stipu- ing the bonus is that the financial condition of the Brooklyn club at the end of the 1917 season will warrant it's payment.
 Stengel having reached an agree ment, the Dodgers will leave here with 26 players. There is still a pos sibility that Mike Mowrey will reach a decision of some kind by April 1, judging from his letter of two weeks ago.

 In the eight-inning practice game this morning Dell and Cadore pitched for the Yannigans and Appleton and Marquard for the Regulars Wheat marked his first workout by lifting the ball over the right field fence, with two men on the bases. The game was won by the regulars, to 5.

WAR WILL STOP TENNIS JOURNEYS
 ALL OVER COUNTRY

New York. March 23-Oficials of the United States National Lawn Ten his Association will consider the list of championship and tournament dates at it's session today at the Wal dorf-Astoria. It is no secret that George T. Adee, president of the as- sociation, and others are uncertain as to whether or not the schedule for the season will be fulfilled. In the event of this Nation being engaged in war there is likely to be a general cancellation of the competitions for men.
 Practically all of the leading play CTS are eligible for military duty, it was pointed out by one of the officers yesterday. Dean Mathey, William J. Clothier, the former national cham pion; George Wrenn and others at tended the training camps last sum- mer. English and French lawn ten his players were among the first vol unteers at the beginning of the Euro pean war. Several gave their lives or were crippled on the field of battle, notably the late Anthony F. Wilding and Hope Crisp, who lost a leg in the fighting at the Marne.
 Remembering that the English As sociation immediately cancelled it's tournament list, while lawn tennis clubs organized for hospital work and the like, there is the feeling that Americans could not display a dis regard for the fact that the United States was at war provided the eventua1ity arises Furthermore, the delegates at the annual meeting voted to cancel the schedule in case of war.

WALLACE HOPING
 TO GET TITLE BY
 BEATING KlLBANE

The big demand for tickets for the Glover A. c. boxing show at the Park theatre next Monday night indicates that a crowded house will greet Worlds Champion Johnny Ki1bane when he steps into the ring with Ed die Wallace in the 12 round star bout.
 The people know that E11bane is stopping all Of his opponents in quick fashion, but when he meets Wallace he will be meeting one of the e1evefest boxers that the ring has produced and will have to extend himself to the limit to retain the featkeFweight title A large number of automobile parties are coming up from Brooklyn and New York, hoping to see Wallace win the championship, as Brooklyn is Wallaee's home town.
 The other bouts on the card look attractive. Tommy Shea of New Haven meets Johnny Best, bantam champion Of Scotland in @ ten round affair and Johnny Hayes of New York will tackle Billy Hughes of this city in another ten foandeF. Because of Hayes excellent showing against Me- AH1iffe at 8. recent exhibition here he is a favefite with local fans. There will be a four round preliminary and Terry Lee will referee the whole card.

EXPECT MONROE WILL BE
 SECOND TESREAU

Macon, Ga, March 23-A "dry" ing momentum at the Yankees camp, for an advance en masse, which now seems destined to land him at the Polo Grounds couple or three weeks hence as more or less regular mem- Der of the Yankee ensemble. He is entered on the roster as Monroe, Ed ward; age 21; height 6.05; weight 187. and the indications are that he has ninth place in Bill Donovan's some what elaborate pitching establish ment wholly at his mercy.
 From the day he blew into Macon more than three weeks ago Monroe has been a constant source of antici- patory rapture to the field marshal of the Donovan Grenadiers. Almost the only member of the juvenile di- vision who did not report a kind mound f1apper within the first three days of training, he settled smoothly and easily, albeit somewhat ponder. ously, into a demonstration of real pitching aptitude that soon struck his managers eager fancy.
 By the end of the first week he was generating a fast ball that sized up favorably with any in the camp, and when Donovan pointed out faults in his methods of delivery he enrolled under Bob Shawlkey for a course of instruction in pitching technique. In less than three daysNhe acquired mo- ton that was safely beyond all criti- cism. Since then he has firmly es- tablished himself in the esteem of his leader.

NEW LONDON TO

 CRAIG OF PHILLIPS

Petersburg, Fla. March 23-"Pat" Moran has been yielding his pruning knife on the surplus material in the Phlll1es' camp, and, as result, sev- era1 members of the squad who have been getting into shape for the last two weeks have been relegated to the minor league ranks for more school ing. This does not mean that Man. ager Moran has cut these players adrfft for good. as he believes more than one of them will be ready for the big show with another years ex- perienee.
 Tom" Haggerty, the young infield- CT who went south at his own expense to show Manager Moran his ability with the hope of being placed with some good minor league team, left for his home in Brooklyn last night. It was expected Haggerty would go to the New London club. of the Eastern association which is owned by Morton F. Plant. the railroad king, and man. aged by Gene McCann, 8 close friend of Moran
 The New London club will get sev- era1 of the Phi1lies this year, but as MeCann already has second base man and shortstop under contract there was nc place for Haggerty. The youngster may be placed latsr.

M'GRAW PICKED CLEVER Y0UNGSTER
 IN PETE KILDUFF

Marlin, Tex, March 23-Of the corps of infielders uncovered by the Giants in the combing of the minor leagues last year none has shown to better advantage than one Pete Kill duff, versatile young man who claims Chicopee, Kan, as his home aud who played with the Omaha club of the Western League in 1916.
 Kilduff is but a youngster, has spent only two seasons in the profes- sionaf ranks and is receiving his first trial with a major 1egaue club. He made his debut with Oklahoma City in the Western Association in 1915, graduated that spring from an inde- pendent team in his home town.
 For the first week or two down here Pete remained somewhat in the background, and his work did not stand out from that of his fellow bushers. To tell the truth, there were one or two who appeared to be more talented than the Chicopee lad, but it developed that Pete had not got prop erly warmed up.
 When the rockies started playing exhibition games with the clubs in nearby cities Pete had a real chance made good use of his opportunities. His playing in these games marked him as a very good young ball player, and 1t is the consensus of opinion that he will be we'll taken care of when McGraw begins the task of placing his youngsters for future reference.

HUGH HIGH BATS WELL AND TANKS
 S!DESTEP DEFEAT

Macon, Ga, March 22-The batting ulars from extinction yesterday. But for the small left fielder the regulars would have been shut out by the sec ond team. As it was, the nine inning game was a 2 to 2 tie. High hoisted a home run over the right field fence for the first regular run and batted in the second in the eighth inning, when he supplemented two bagger by Alexander with a two bagger of his own fashion1ng.
 The batting of High, which includ- ed a home run and two doubles, was the more outstanding because the hit ting in the main was skimpy. There was high grade pitching for one thing, and for another there was a cloudy and dark day. The Yankees haven't batted under such translucent condi- tions before, and the effectiveness of the m6undmen was increased by the spoor light
 Piercy and shocker between them I for the regulars were very effective. The second team managed to push , two runs to the plate by punching three hits on Piercy, but otherwise ! Piercy as vel as Shocker was invinci- ble, The young Californian gave close attention to business and had better control than usual for him, and as for Shocker, the second team could not detect his sharp, skidding spitban at ian
 CUl1op and Mogridge were south paw coalition which kept the regulars scattered They and all the other pitchers did well with men on bases. That's when they were at their best. One instance of this was in the ninth inning Pipp opened with hit, but Mogridge struck out Baker It was the first time Baker has struck out this year. The willy Mogrids,e, who had a variety of stuff, made him chase high one after shooting two low strikes past him.

FIVE HOMERS BY
 GIANTS WHO W|N~ OVER HOUSTON NINE

Marlin, Tex, March 23-Five home runs over a short right field fence and one legitimate four+base drive over the centre field. wall furnished the features of a game between the Giants and the Houston Buffaloes here yes- terday afternoon. By, scoring eight runs, in the first inning, the Giants ruined the affair as a contest, but later in the game the Texas leaguers were within two runs of a tie score. At the finish the Giants put on high speed again and the final score was IT to 6.
 A strong wind blowing toward right field not only carried hits out of the park, but dit handicapped the pitchers sadly The Giants struck 21 effective blows at IIiett and Utt, eight of them being registered in the first round when Illicit pitched to 13 men before he could get the side out. In this big inning Robertson, Burns, and Herzog each made a home nun and @ single each lbeing up twice.
 The long hits, Bill Brennan's unIpir. ing, and Germany Schaefer'S steal of home kept the spectators, well enter. tained, though they did not do much roofing after the first inning, when Houston led off with pair of runs.
 Fred Anderson and Bill Rariden went into action as the first New York battery.
 Middleton and Lew McCarty went to work in the fifth inning. Middleton flashed !, dazzling array of curves, and the visitors made only two hits off him in the last fire rounds. One of these was StelDbauer's drive over the centre field fence in the seventh in ming.
 Utt, the second Houston pitcher got by for one inning, but in the seventh and eighth he was pounded for eight hits and seven runs. Tn the eighth frame Schaefer ran for Kauff, and af- ter cutting up some capers at third base he stole home. L
 Infiender Baird, the Louisiana col lege student who reported here a week ago and had been assigned to act as a utility man for the regulars on the trip north. quit yesterday and started back to Baton Rouge, where he will re-enter the University of Louisiana. Baird had never signed a contract, and when one was offered him yester- day he informed Manager McGraw that he could not consider it at this time, as his people object to his play ing professional baseball. If Baird changes his mind when he finishes college he may get another trial.
