Considerable Loss by Heavy
Rainfall.

The Richland Democrat: The severe
electrical and rain storms of Saturday
and Sunday nights last were general
and occasioned considerable loss. The
oat fields nearly everywhere are as fat
as if rolled down and the loss from this
alone will be heavy. High water also
occasioned some loss, all the creeks of
the county as we'll as Pine river being
over their banks, causing a flood con-
dition on many farms. The Kickapoo
river is also reported upon rampage
from high water, the railroad being
under water for miles and trains being
suspended.

NEW YORK, Oct. 31.-Reeord of

lishtw eight championship. Freddy Is

I OF the sad and feeble efforts of Bat

who have pounded the beaten trail
and their ears at simultaneous pe-
riods.
Tonight Freddie. OF England. is 60

youthful lightweight, at the Man.
haitian Casino. and IL he makes q
, pleasurable showing he will try to
get another match with Benny Leon
ard. who dethroned him. A pleasur-
able showing in Welsh's estimation
probably will be an ability to keep
from being cIouted by Jimmy.
Welsh 10 SO eager to try 10 prove
he can again win the lightweight
championship that he offers to bet
IS 900 on his chances against the mule
like kick Leonard carries. The fact
that he once was beaten into help
lessness by Leonard seems to have
had no effect on the Englishman.
Welsh points out that he once had
the same kind OF an argument with
Matt Wells, but came back and
Itrounced Matt handily. winning the
lightweight championship OF England.
He has been undergoing 4 course of
training on his New Jersey health
farm, and declares he is in condition
for a real comeback.

BASEBALLPLAYERS
FACING LEAN YEAR
DEVOID OF FR|LLS

NEW YORK, Oct. 31.-Baseball
players are facing a lean year. At
their annual meetings, scheduled for
next month, both major leagues will
take steps to retrench all along the
line.
The frst move will be TO shorten
the season from 164 games to 40
games. 1t is estimated that a months
salary will be saved in the case OF
each player by this scheme.
II Is planned to limit squads to Is
man for the spring training trips. II
any are taken. Some magnates would
abolish the training trips. Most of
the minor leagues will not start next
year and there will be q small army
OF players on the market.
Salaries are to be slashed right and
left. From inside sources Il has been
learned that $1,000 will be q large
salary IN 1918. Players who have
been drawing 5000 to $4,000 will be
asked to accept half their old salary
or retire gracefully from the national
pastime.
Extravangances in travelling will be
abolished. No more special cars will
be hired, nor will the more expensive
hotels be visited. F1xic6bsswfi1 be
paid for by the players, Il. they wish
to use them
No more salary advances will be
made, both leagues being a unit
against this ancient custom OF the
diamond Numerous exhibition games
will be layed, the proceeds gJhg to
the club owners to assist them IN
living through the season
With a war tax on every admission
ticket, the magnates are planning for
4 falling OF in attendance next year
and they do not mean 20 let any
money escape.

within scoring distance and that the
