PROMISING OUTLOOK
ALL SOUTH DAKOTA CROPS IN
FLOURISHING CONDITION.

Canton, July 13.-Crop conditions
throughout South Dakota continue to
be of the most encouraging charac-
ter. Some sections will have crops
of an Indifferent nature because OF
insufficient rainfall, but in the state
at large the general condition of
crops is all that could be desired.
Barley and oats rapidly are ripen-
ing and in many localities the har-
vesting of these grains will com
mence in about 10 days. The wealth
,er during the filling period was fla
vorable. with the result that barley
and oats heads are well filled with
plump kernels. Weather conditions
also were favorable for the filling of
wheat and other small grain.
The next two or three weeks will
tell the story as TO the general small
grain CROP of the state. One or two
more rains will make the general
small grain crop one of the best ever
raised in South Dakota. Only hot
and dry weather can reduce the yield.
Cold and rainy weather during the
early spring retarded farm work and
delayed the farmers in getting in
their corn crops, but during the past
few weeks the weather has been more
favorable and crops of all kinds have
been pushed ahead very rapidly.
Corn started about 10 days or two
weeks later than customary, but has
been gaining rapidly because of hot
weather and clear days and now has
about attained its customary growth
for this period of the growing season

lFitzsimmons Knocked
Creedon Out In 1894

Twenty-three years ago today,
Sept. 26, 1894, Bob Fitzsimmons
knocked out Dan Creedon at New Or
leans The bout, which was for the
middleweight championship, then
held by Fitz, lasted but two rounds.
Both men hailed from Australia. A
$4,000 purse was hung up, $4,000 to
go to the winner and $1,000 to the
loser. Creedon had quite a following
and Bob's enemies, who were rather
numerous at that time, hoped that
Dan would succeed where Jim Hall
had failed.
Bob announced before the contest
that, regardless of the result, he
would go after the heavyweight title
as son as he had finished with Cree
don. F,itzsimmons weighed 1859
pounds ringside, while Creedon was
within a few ounces of 15S pounds. 1t
was early apparent that Creedon,
game and clever fighter as he was,
didn't stand a chance against the
freck1ed. Cornishman. The match
was for rs rounds, but Bob needed
less than two of them to finish Cree
don. When F'itz later went after the
heavies, Dan laid claim to the mid
dleweight honors, but he was defeated
by Kid Mccoy

I.AVAN AND PRATT ARE
THROUGH In ST. LOUIS
BECAUSE OF LAWSUITS

Some have said that Derri1l Pratt
and Johnny Lavan signed their own
passports, giving them exit from the
profession that at least gave them a
financial start in life, writes Ed Wray
in the st. Louis Post-Dispatch,
Baseball has Stunned the courts. It
seems to 'tacitly put the "tB''-for Ban
or blanket-on all who resort to it.
Heretofore no player has dared to
bring action against a magnate for
derogatory statements made about
him. for fear of the dreaded DOGGY,
the blacklist.
This fear-inspiring bugaboo, past
history seems to show, is just a mere
myth. Instances in which baseball
players have been forced out of the
game by mutual major league agree
ment either never existed or are so
far back in the dark ages of the
game as to have been forgotten.
Nevertheless, fthe latent power to
force squeeze" when the need de-
velops, is known to exist, and has de-
stroyed many headstrong player
from rash steps. Five or six years
ago a suit such as Lavan and Pratt
have inaug1rrated would undoubtedly
have meant the shunting of these
players out Of the American league
s'for the good of the pame." They
might even have been passed along
into the minors, although this is more
doubtful.
Under present conditions, however,
with the need of good players is so
immediate that it is hardly probable
that they will be released from the
American league, but that these play
ers can continue with the Browns next
year is not believed by those who
know the principals to both sides OF
the controversy.

Football, toughest of
Sports, According to
Records of Past Years

Despite the war, the annual foot
ball fever has taken hold of the
United States, and most of the big
universities have games scheduled for
the next few weeks. Therefore a con-
siderable jump in the mortality rate
may be expected. Many people who
loqk with favor upon the popular col
lege game shudder with horror at the
brutality game, Is as safe as though
he were at home and in bed.
The football devotee is engaged in
a contest with death, and the grim
reaper always has a considerable har-
vest, For many years the injured in
football games have numbered from
zoo to 500 annually, while the fataH-
ties usually run from 20 to 30.t I'M
Nagine the popular indignation if 10
or Is boxers were killed each month!
In the rugby game, as played in Eng
land and her colonies and in Western
America, fatalities and injuries are
much less frequent, although it would
seem that the ancient British game
was in its infancy almost as hazard
GUS as the American game.
Philip Stubbs, in a book published
in London in 1888, had this to say of
football: For as concerning foot
ball play, I protest unto you it may
rather be- called friendlie kinde of
fight than a play or recreation; a
bloody and numbering practice, than
felowly sporte or pastime. For
dooth not every ane I've in waite for
his adversarie, seeking to overthrow
him and to pickle him on his nose,
though 1t be upon hard stones? In
ditch or dale. in valley or hill, or
what place soever it be, hec areth
not, SO he have him down. And he
that can serv the most in this fash
ion, he Is counted the only fellow, and
who but he? So by this Ineanes
armes, sometime one part thrust out
of joint, sometime another, sometime
the noses gush out with blood, some
time their eyes start out. and some
time hurt in one place and sometime
in another.
"But whatsoever scapeth away the
| best goeth not scotfree. but is either
| sore wounded, craised or bruised, so
as he dyeth of it or else scapeth very
hardly And no marvaile, for they
have the sleight to meet one betwixt
two, to dashe him against the harte
with their elbowes, to hit him under
| thes hut ribbes with their. grfped
| fisstes land with their knees to catch
him upon the hips, and to pick him
| on the necy, and hereof groweth ma
| lice ,enmite, murther, homicide and
great effuson of blood as experience
dayly teacheth." Or. in plain English,
it was rough game.

RECRUIT
PITCHER BLOWS UP
/. AND LOSES in 9TH

New York, Sept. 26-Robert Nc
Graw, youngster. and Willie Mitchell,
old timer, had an admirably pitched
tilt of eight innings at the Polo
Grounds yesterday afternoon, and
both slumped in the ninth. The De-
troits rallied on MoGraw in the ninth
and gouged him severely enough to
round up four runs and win. The
Yankees batted Mitchell out of the
box in the ninth, but when they had
to switch to the right handed pitch
ing of Cunningham, Mitche1Ps relief,
their hitting stopped dead, and they
were beaten, 4 to 2.
For eight innings there were no
runs and an extensive scarcity of
base hits. Frank Baker, forgiven
restored and back with a clean bill of
health, and Walter Pipp each failed
three times in pinch, and to that ex-
tent were responsible for the Yankees
defeat. It was their collapse in the
ninth which fattened a promising
rally to nothingness. Neither hit the
ball out of the diamond when men
were on bases and neither hit it in
the diamond. I'M such q way thab it
promoted Yankee welfare.
McGraw, who was with the, Yanks
last spring and spent the summer in
Newark, labored on the mound in a
way which was promising and credit
able even if he did slip in the ninth.
He struck Cobb out in the first inn
ing. Errors complicated matters for
him in the eventide era, but batting
did most Of the damage. Yet with
the opportunities the Yankees had in
the ninth they would have pulled out
a victory for the lad If they had the
Detroit punch.
