CRIMES AGAIN ON DECK WITH
 TIMELY BLOW
(Rv Wa .Qner.A

Although Roy Grimes, the lanky Bridgeport first baseman, stands at the bat as if he intended to back right into the water bucket. the Car olina boy fools the wise ones by fre- quently belting the baseball into safe territory Grimes puts so much force behind his blows that the ball gene ally travels fast to right field, the di- rection being due to the fact that
 Grimes is backing away when he swings. He came through yesterday at Newfield with a timely smash that scored the winning tally and allowed Bridgeport to beat Springfield by 4
 to 3.

 LIVELY BATTLE

New York. July. 21-Joe Yelling. the Chicago lightweight boxer. turned the tables on Johnny Dundee, the To- cal boxer in their ten-round bout last night at the St. Nicholas A. C., and the final clang of the gong found the Chicagoan the victor by convincing margin. Z . Yelling, towering inches above His opponent and with pro- portionate advantage in the matter of reach, made the best of these advan- taTes in piling up points on the Italian.
 Dundee, ever eager to mix matters and get close, found Welling's style an unfathomabIe something which he had not encountered in their two prev ious meetings, and the result was that the Italian, having no, set style to off, set the natural advantages of the Chi caSoan. was clearly outpointed.
 Throughout the bout, with only a few variations, Dundee made the mis- take of trying to exchange blows with his adversary at long range. In this he was hopelessly beaten, for Yelling, picking of Dundee's blows with skill. ~countered cleverly, and landed himself before the bodnding Italian could get out of his arms reach. ~kt
 
 Jdee's aggressive, almost careless style of milling introduced during the bout with the exception of the tenth ses- sion. and in this stanza Dundee clearly earned the honors.l He threw away his cautious attitude and ceased to essay long range exchanges. and the result was that Yelling was battered about the ring until the final bell sep arated the combatants.
 In sixSof the rounds Yelling show ed clearly to advantage with his eff fective jabbing tactics, and several times he stung Dundee with 8 right cross to the jaw. Tn the sixth session Wslling opened a cut over Dundee's left eye with his right-hand cross, and the blood flowed from this wound to the finish of the bout.

WILL MAKE FIGHT FUR LATER
 OPENING
(By United Press)

NEW YORK. May 5. - Charles H. Ebbets, owner of the Brooklyn Nation al League club is going into the next National League meeting prepared to howl and rave until the magnates agree to some changes which will al low a later opening of the baseball season.
 Ebbets is mad clear through this time. He is going to give no quarter and he has collected statistics to give him fighting foundation. 'It's too ridiculous to argue about" he declared in a recent talk on the subject. "I'm unable to see why a man who has business to protect will go along year after year opening his business in weather that's too raw for a man to go see a baseball game.
 "Yes, I've seen some big crowds at opening days, when 1t looked like it might snow, but I've seen the same stands the next day with bare cor porafs guard in them. People who go to the early games get chilled and half frozen and they go away vowing they won't return until 1t gets warm. And they stay away.
 Every fall we have splendid base ball weather at the end of the season, but because we agree to play 154 games we have to miss all those games, but we meet the next winter, set the opening for mid-winter and go happily along our ways.
 People accuse me of wanting Co., lumbus day in the schedule We'll, I do, but I'd want the extension if there was no Columbus day. l want that good weather. I'm going to make an awful fight for the changes next winter and If the rest of the club own CTS in this league don't come over to my way of thinking I'll think they don't care whoop about their patron age, the health of their ball players or anything else"

HEED CALL OF GREAT
 WHITE FATHER
(By Associated Press)

CLOUDCROFT, N. M., May 5. - Aboriginal warriors of the Mescalero- Apache tribe will assist the govern ment in carrying out its agricultural preparedness plans by planting and tending large crops in the mountain valleys near here.
 The Mascalero-Apache Indian reser- vation is located in the Sacramento mountains near Cloudcroft, and these mountain valleys have been found to be especially adaptable to the rais' ing of potatoes, cabbage and other staple food products. The Indians make excellent farm laborers, and many of them are planning to plant crops of their own on government owned land in the reservation to car ry out the request of "The Great White Father" at Washington for all his children" to plant and till abun dantly.

DRY FARMING |S URGEDF0RWAR
 FOOD SUPPLY

WASHINGTON, May 5. -- With the burden of supplying the worlds war time crop facing this country, the committee on statistics and Standards of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States directs attention to the possibilities of dry farming. Such methods, 1t is declared, can be made to fit the requirements for raising many of our most important products.
 Dry farming is said to be the only form of agriculture which can be sue cessfully practiced in any region where water is not available for irrigation, and where rainfall is not sufficient for humid farming. In general this statement is said to apply to about 50 per cent of the superficial area of the earth's surface, so that dry farm ing is a worldwide problem. Broadly speaking, dry farming is necessary in any country where the anual rainfall does not exceed twenty inches and does not fall below ten inches. The latter amount of precipitation is the lowest on which dry farming can be practiced with any hope of success.

NORTHERN PACIFIC EXPLOITS
 ALASKA IN UNITED STATES

Alaska's scenic and industrial ad- vantages are the subject that is now being presented throughout the United States in a strenuous campaign in augurated by the Northern Pacific railway. Prof. Charles Norton Hunt, lecturer for that railroad, has for some months conducted addresses in every important city of the country, ampli- flying his descriptions of the wonder ful northern possession with stereop- ticon slides.
 Through the Northern Pacific,s other departments, also, exploitation of Alaska is being carried on to a marked degree. This work, it is pre-, dicted, will mean a greater volume of travel to the Land of the Mid night Sun" during the next few years than ever before. That Alaska is al ready proving a drawing card for prospective travellers is indicated by the numerous inquiries that road is already receiving from prospective tourists.
 The campaign being waged is ex- pected not only to attract tourists, but also to give decided impetus to Alaskas importance as a country in which profitable investments can be made.

MANY CLAIMANTS FUR BANDIT
 REWARD
(By Associated Press)

CHEYENNE, May 5. - Judge c. E. Winter, of Casper, Wyoming, has be- gun the arbitration proceedings to de- eide which of the 132 claimants shall share, and how shall be divided, the $G,5O0 in rewards offered for the cap ture of w. L. Carlisle, who last spring and summer held up passengers on three Union Pacific trains. Judge Win ter has been named sole arbiter of the redistribution of the award.
 Carlisle was captured the day after he had held up the passengers on the third of the three trains and now is in the state penitentiary serving life sentence. Carlisle asserts he gave him self up voluntarily. Most of the claims for shares in the rewards come from Wolcott, near which place Carlisle was taken into custody, and Hawlins, while most of the remainder come from Laramie county.
