Creamery Men To Be Prosecuted

Dairy and Food Commissioner
Foust of Pennsylvania has announc-
ed that prosecutions have been Or
dered against fifteen creameries in
Chester, Berks and Montgomery
counties for sale of butter containing
from 20 to 80 per cent of water, or
moisture. Sixteen per cent Is the
maximum allowed by law. Sealer of
Weights and Measures Charles c.
Townsend has cautioned a number
of butter manufacturers and dealers
in their product is not worked
enough to get the water out of it.
In some instances this dries out be-
fore it is sold by the retailer and
thus the dealer sells underweight,
and is also liable to prosecution.
Several have been fined for this. The
prosecution of creamery men and
wholesalers for having too much
moisture in their product, will reach
the right parties.

BATTLING KUNz
WILL. MEET
HARTLEY

New Haven, Feb. Is - Battling
Kunz, of South Norwalk, has finally
come to terms and will box Pete
Hartley, the Durable Dane. before
the Arena A. c. at the local arena on
Thursday evening, Feb. %. The
match was clinched late Saturday
afternoon, when Kunz and Manager
SIavin came to New Haven and post
ed 5000 to bind the articles of agree
ment.
Ever since the night Kunz beaS
Chic Brown over the 20-round course
at the Arena, fans in New Haven and
about the state, have expressed a
desire to see Hartley and Kunz in a
bout. Several clubs made offers for
the match, but Kunz held them up.
He demanded a guarantee of $1,000
with a privilege of 80 per cent. Of
the gate receipts. This was too much
and it looked as if the match would
not be made. But Saturday Kunz de-
cided to accept the offer of the Arena
A. c. and the match was quickly
made.
The semi-finaI and preliminary
bouts will be arranged today SO that
the card will be completed by tonight
1t is quite probable that Joe Currie,
the famous little local featherweight,
will appear on the card against some
good opponent. Johnny Martin is
also mentioned as one of the boys
who may appear.

BENDIGO FIRST
PUCILIS
PREACHER

Billy Sunday is the modern example
of the professional baseball player
turning evangelist. In the old days in
England there was no baseball, but
there was the ring, and pugilism there
had its representative in the pulpit in
the mission tent in the person of
"Bendigo,'
It is just three-quarters of a CEN
fury asO that W. Thompson, better
known as "Bendigo," entered the
evangelistic ranks and preached the
first sermon of his clerical career. He
was then the heavyweight champion
of England, having won the belt a
few years before by defeating Deaf
Burke. He was converted by a rough
and-ready revivalist of that time, just
as Bat Nelson was Influenced by Billy
Sunday Bendigo announced that he
had quit the ring for good, but he
didn't keep to his pledge, and two
years after beginning his clerical ca
reer he suffered a relapse, defending
the heavyweight title against Ben
Gaunt, whom he soundly whipped
After that affair Bendigo had fire.
Qu6nL converted 1ul6I1uueS, Wnen
he starred at revivals, telling how he
had been a terribly bad, bad man,
and how he had been jerked from the
jaws of jeopardy and transformed
into a moral citizen. This turn al
ways brought down the house. T. P
| O'Connor has given US a picture of
the sanity Bendigo, got up in a
black coat and white tie, his hair al
ways straight and sleek, plastered
down, and a general look of Stiggins
about him."
In his latter days Bendigo appeared
! in the pulpit with greater frequency,
! and it is related that on one occasion
he was told there was an atheist
among his audience. Han hatheist?
What's an hatheist?" inquired Ben
digo. why" it was explained, "a
hatheist is a bloke what don't believe
in God" my hoye," said the scan
dalized ex-pugilist, 'let me at him and
I'm make i'm believe" Bendigo re-
moved his coat and made a pass with
| his brawny fist at the unheiiever, but
the latter was an active young fellow,
/ and Bendigo had lost much of his
pugilistic cunning. There was spir-
| tied scrap but in the end Bendigo had
| to cry enough" and the "hatheist'
went away unconvinced.

Robbie Talks About the
Pitching Staff Of Robins
Enthusiastic Over Chances
Of Marquard, Cheney and
Russell Shift Likely in
Red Sox Inield.

New York, Feb. 18-Wilbert Robin
son, manager of the Robins, is en-
thusiastic over his chances for a
strong pitching staff this season.
Most folks don't realize the
strength I have" said Robbie yester-
day. "Rube Vanguard ought to be
as good as last year, when he was
one of the best southDaws in either
league. Russell is another left
handler who will come through. All
he needs is experience and serious
application.
Larry Cheney should be better
than last year, when he had all sorts
of things to worry him. He is only
81 years old and his aim is as good
as ever.
"Al Mamaux, Clarence Mitchell
Burleigh Grimes and Dan Griner, our
new pitchers, are all men who if they
become the wonders of the league this
year would not set any remarkable
precedent. Every one of them has
the physique and has had more
or less experience in the minors.
Further, they all have good points
which attacted my attention. If we
CAN get results from lHSIn III propoI-
ton to their possibilities we will have
swell staff that will cause the whole
league to sit up and take notice.
"Of course, pitchers are likely a
gamble, and few or none of these
men may come through, but it is
almost as good a bet that they will
as it is that they won't, and the
Brooklyn fans will have no occasion
for taking a gloomy view of the fu-
ture until they have seen how things
go after the season is well advanced
