THE POTATO MARKET

Market Letter Agricultural Exten-
sion Division, University of Minneso-
ia: The demand tor potatoes in car
lots during the past week, has been
disappointing. The weather has been
too fine to develop any buying activity
for winter storage. Thus the outlet
for the present large crop is now con-
fined to the amount required for imme-
date use. Hence> values have ruled
weak and in some sections of the state
have gone as low as IS cents per BUSH
ell, field run. Toward the close of the
past week, earlots in the territory of
the twin cities have sold at range of
from 80 cents to 81 per bushel. These
prices apply to lots in sacks.
The market is also comparatively
slow at Chicago and prices are ruling
around 81. Michigan growers are prac-
tically in control Of this market and
are willing to shade Minnesota prices
five or ten cents per bushel at any time
in order to effect sale. This is q big
handicap to those seeking an outlet for
the Minnesota crop and should be seri-
ously considered by growers.
The onion market is higher than last
week. Fancy stock will probably com
mand even better figures in the near
future than are now ruling. At pres
ent the price is around 1920 4 hun
dred pounds.
Prices for other Minnesots products
are fairly satisfactory. The cabbage
market is showing reasonable strength,
and good quality apples, wen packed,
are bringing around 81 q bushel for the
ordinary varieties and $3.50 for iona

REFEREE ELECTS
INCIDENT BOXERS

New York, Nov. 3-Leo johnson,
the dusky scrapper from Harlem, and
Vic Moran, the New Orleans light
weight, put up so bad a bout at the
Harlem Sporting club last night that
Referee Kid Mcfarland hustled both
out of the ring in the third round
The action of the referee was loudly
applauded by the spectators, who had
booed the boxers from the first round
till their involuntary exit.
It was so pa1pably an Alphonse and
CASTOR affair that Mcfarland enter
ed vigorous protest. There was no
Improvement in their work in the Sec
ond session, and the referee told them
he would send them out of the ring
unless they put on some steam in the
next round. They began to play tag
with each other in the third and were
ordered out of the ring.
The management announced that
the money the boxers were to have re-
ceived would be given to some patrio-
tic fund. probably the Red Cross.
Joe Burman, the Chicago bantam.
and Willie Astey, put up the best bout
of the night, Burman winning deci-
sive1y. Burman dropped Astey for a
short count in the first and third
rounds and had him groggy at the
bell in the eighth. Astey covered up
and refused to fight in the closing
rounds.

SERVICE TEAMS TO
PLAY IN YALE BOWL

New Haven, Nov 3-Fully< IS, 900
persons are expected at the game be-
tween the e1evens from the Newport
Naval station and the Maine Artillery
regiment from Westfie1d, Mass, which
will be played in the Yale Bowl this
afternoon at 2:30 O'Clock. The match,
from both an athletic and military
standpoint, Is expected to prove the
most brilliant event of the season in
this part of New England.l
The athletic feature includes a bat
tie between two of the strongest
elevens of the country. The navy
team comprises a group of all-college
players who are largely of All
America rank. Eight universities are
represented in the lineup, which is
headed by Cupid Black, captain and
AII-America guard at Yale. The cos
mopo1itan nature of the team is indi-
Gated by the lineup, which follows:
left end. Elwood, Notre Dame; left
tackle, Paisley, Michigan; left guard
and captain, Black, Yale; centre, Cal
lahan, Yale; right guard, Schlacter,
Syracuse; right tackle, Dunn, Michi-
gan; right end, Green, Dartmouth;
quarter back, Hite, Kentucky. left
half back, Barrett. Cornell; right half
back, Gerrish, Dartmouth; full back,
Gardner, Nebraska.
The Maine eleven is captained by
Tudor Gardiner, the former Harvard
tackle, and contains seven college
players, three from the University of
Maine, one from Colby, and two from
Dartmouth. 1t was defeated last Sat
urday by the Harvard Informals. IN
cluded in it's makeup are Foster, full
back; burlington, quarter back, and
Johnson, tackle, from the University
of Maine; Bsrkmaayer, right half
back, and Stoner, right end, Dart
mouth, and Frazer, Colby, left half
back.
The game will present a number of
military features which have not been
approached in brilliancy at even the
Army-Navy games. Forming at the
railroad station soon after their ar
rival, the contingents from the Army
and Navy camps will march in, uni
form to Yale Fieldj Each camp will
send hundreds of supporters. The
Yale military companies, the Reserve
Officers Training Corps, and the
naval unit will be in line as an escort
Headed by the Maine Artillery brass
band of $50 pieces, the procession will
march through the principal streets
of New Haven to the bowl, where
there will be parade about 1880
O'Clock

FOOTBALL GAME AS
IT WAS FIRST PLAYED
This coming

This coming week will mark the
forty-eighth anniversary of the be-
ginning Of intercollegiate football on
this side of the Atlantic. The first
gridiron contest ever staged in Amer
lea between college teams was played
at New Brunswick, N. j., on the
sixth day of November, 1859. The
opposing teams represented Princeton
and Rutgers, although the former in
stitution was then known as Nassau
Hall, and was far from being the
great University it now is. Rutgers
College is at New Brunswick, only
about twenty miles from Old Nassau,
and the proximity of the two institu-
tons. naturally led to an intense ath-
letic rivalry.
Rutgers was the first to take up
football, and organized an eleven with
w. J. Legget as captain. The Prince
tonians were challenged to a gridiron
battle, and Nassau Immediately ac-
cepted the def. w. S. Gummere,
who had made a reputation on the
diamond, was chosen as the leader of
the team that was to bear the colors
of Old Nassau in a contest at the
new sport with the hated rival. Gum
mere and Legget arranged a meeting
to formulate a set of rules to gov
ern the first intercollegiate gridiron
combats. This pioneer set of regu-
lations is a remarkable code, and
bears practically no resemblance to
the rules governing any form of pres
ent-day football. Some of the pro-
visions were as follows:
The players on each side shall
number twenty-five.
Four judges and two referees shall
of1ciate at each game.
There shall be no tripping or
running with the ball. either consti-
tuting foul, when the ball must be
thrown perpendicularly in the air by
the offending side.
There shall bet, no tripping or
holding of players. and holding the
ball and free kicks are not allow
ed.

Plant Drops
Mccain as a
War Measure
Beau Brummel Of Eastern
League, and Authority on
Fashions in New London
: and Bridgeport for Years,
Must Seek Pay Check in
Chimes Unknown.

III. Eugene verecund Mccain, Beau
Brumnle1 of the Eastern league, and
at various times authority on fash
ions in Bridgeport and New London,
has passed away. His baseball de-
mise was effected yesterday by Nor
ton II. plant, millionaire owner of the
New London team. NO particular rea-
sons were given for the action. With
any other club than the Planters it
might be taken as an economic meas
ure. Not so with the Millionaire Kids,
unless Uncle Sans new Income tax
has startled the wealthy magnate.
Whatever the reason, T. Eugene will
no longer haunt Eastern league cities
in ball season. He will no longer pa
rade about the streets, displaying his
famous confirmation tie and lapel
flower, and dropping hints on correct
dress to the eager and worshiping
rabble.
The clarion Chandy word) call for
baseball candidates soon to go sound,
ing through our Joyous land, will fall
harshly on Eugenes ears. 1t will not
bring to mind the picture OF king
doms to conquer, nor OF abnormally
fat wads to draw upon. It will recall
kingdoms once conquered, and salary
checks of large denomination once
cashed-but no more.
We have a suspicion that 1t will be
a question Of time before the sartor1al
authority lines up with another such
angel as Morton H. Plant. However,
Morton has stirred up deep and abid-
ing sorrow in the breasts Of the faith
full of New London.

Sunday BASEBALL
MOVE SUPPORTED
BY COL. RUPERT

New York, Nov. 3-The baseball
public of this community may get
an opportunity to witness big league
baseball every Sunday next season,
Nearly all of the candidates now run
ming for the various city offices are
in favor of playing the national pas
time on the Sabbath, providing there
lis noN disorder or annoyances to that
portion of the community. which de-
votes the day to religious observance.
Charles H Ebbets, president of the
Brooklyn Club, has been fighting for
Sunday baseball for a number or
years. Now Colonel Jacob Rupert,
owner of the Yankees, has taken up
the cudgel in behalf of the Sunday
issueAf
Believing that a majority Of the
voting population of New York de-
sires the amendment of the law
which prohibits Sunday baseball, the
Colonel has sent out a letter to all
candidates from the New York and
Bronx Counties for election to the as
sembly, with the object of ascertain
ing their attitude on the question.
The Colonel has received favorable
replies from all the candidates.
In his letter to the candidates, Col.
Rupert pointed out that the obsolete
law under which the prohibition is
now enforced was enacted to meet the
sentiment of primitive community,
which differs vastly from that of the
present age. This law, which is the
survival of the old ''blue law days
of the eighteenth century, was placed
on the statute books in 1857.
