FOR DISTRIBUTION

Congressman Sinnott has re
ceived notice from the Depart
ment of Agriculture that he has
been allotted a limited number
of packages Of alfalfa, field peas,
millet, Sudan grass and white
clover seed. Because of the very
limited supply this year the rule
has been made that only one
package can be sent to person
Those wishing a package should
write to Congressman Sinnott
for it at once to insure getting il
before the supply is exhausted.
1t will be a case of first come

RABBITS MAY YET Be
MONEY MAKERS HERE

When Congressman Sinnott
went to the big hat factories in
the east with the proposition that
they try Oregon jackrabbit fur
fer the making of hats he met
with a cold reception However,
he stuck to it and the hatters
are now asking for jackrabbit
skins that they may experiment
with them. Crook county has
been asked to prepare 100 skins
for one firm. Tais may in time
solve the iackrabbit problem in
some sections OF Gillian county
and at the same time prove
profitable.

Montreal Wins at Hockey.

San Francisco, Mar. 31.-' NOwsy' -
LaLonde, brilliant Montreal hockey
player, proved the undoing of the cham
pion Metropolitans of Seattle last night
when he shot a goal after 10 minutes
of play in the extra period of the first
contest of a series between the two
teams here. The final score was Mon
treal Les Canadians, 5; Seattle Metro
politans, f.
The Seattleites got the jump on their
opponents early in the contest and shot
two goals in rapid succession in the
first period Bernie Morris shot both
goals unassisted. LaLonde and his as
sociates got together with vengeance
in the second period and displayed such
brilliant teamwork that three goals re-
suited. LaLonde, Petrie and Smith
each got one. Captain Foyston and
Curley Wilson of Seattle, sent the score
to four-three soon after and Petrie
made it four all before the end of the
fourth period.
LaLondc penetrated the Metropolitan
defense 10 minutes after the final per-
iod began and won the game.

.DOPESTERS HAD It
ALL SIZED UP WRONG
By H. G. Hamilton.

UNITED Press staff correIpondent.)
New York. Mar. Sl.-The American
league and the National League have
kicked just exactly backward, compared
with winter league dope and if pre-sea-
son games continue sending home the
same results they have for the last few
days, the folks are tolerably apt to be
reading from an inverted posture.
The New York Giants, figured as the
best bet for John X. Tener's flag and
congratulations next fall, merely aided
in the cunning process by losing to
the Tigers, while the Braves true to
form by defeating the Yankees when
they were least expected TO. The only
bright spot for the dopesters was the
performance of the Dodgers, who grace
fully lost TO the Red Sox. They have
been doing things backward for some
time and losing yesterday merely indi-
Gated return to proper form.
The inter-league series that are being
pulled off in advance of the major
league openings are able to give more
of line this year on what may be ex-
pected than ever before because the
teams have been favored with almost
ideal weather conditions in their train
ing. There has been a spirit of keen
rivalry in the training camps and the
games are producing some baseball.
The Giants fielded miserably in their
first appearance against major league
team this season. The Yankee pitchers
fell down against the Braves, while
Brooklyn simply stood still, fought the
Oklahoma wind, and submitted to a
genteel massacre at the hands of the
Red Sox

JOHNNY K|LDANE
IS VERY AMBITIOUS
After Defeating All Feather
weights He Would Try
Heavier Class
By H. C. Hamilton.

New York. Mar 3l.-Johnny Kilbane.
the champion featherweight, having
beaten all the featherweights they can
dig up for him, has been trying for a
long time TO get crack al the topnoteh
lightweights with but little success So,
just to show what good fellow he is.
and what whale. of scfapper he is,
today issued def to the three best
who claim lightweight class and offered
to meet them oil in the same night.
He began with Freddie Welsh and
went right down to Benny Leonard and
Richie Mitchell, the two latter having
been extremely persistent in telling
what they would do to Kilbane if the
opportunity ever offered.
However, there is the cutest little
joker imaginable in Johnny's challenge
that tempers his bOldness to a consider
able extent. He specified in bis death
defying edict that he wanted each of
these men TO weigh in at 1873 pounds
ringside, which long has been recog-
nized as the legitimate lightweight
poundage.
"They aren't lightweights" Johnny
announces, "and they won't take my
offer However, I'm willing to fight
any of the three or all of them at any
old weight they name, one a night. And
III do the best job of housecleaning in
the lightweight division this country
has seen for many q long day"
The champion featherweight is a most
awful lonesome boxer. Instead of all
the boxers in his class following him
around the country and elamOring foi
matches, an experience most of the
scrappers of high rank have, they all
get out of his way when he starts trav-
cling. A great many Of them have
felt the full force Of that deadly right,
and more of them have heard tales of it
that fill them with respect.
SO Johnny is rather forced into it. If
he can ever get Welsh IS consent to
meet him in ring the fight fans in this
nation will wear out the railroad ties
getting to the scene of the mill.
