OSCAR GARDNER RING STAR.
Eighteen years ago today. May 3.
1900 Oscar Gardner knocked out Ed
die Santry IN the fifth round at
Louisville. Oscar, known as The
Omaha KID was one Of the best
little fighters the modern ring has
had, although he was never a recog-
nlzed champion At one time or an
other, however, he defeated several
title holders
He defeated So-ly Smith both be-
fore and after the Californian was
featherweight champion: he won from
Australian Billy Murphy after the
latter had lost the featherweight title:
he knocked out Dave Sullivan only
a few months after the Hiberniau
boxer had lost the championship. and
he put Harry Forbes to sleep the
year before the Chicago lad sue
ceeded to the bantamweight honors
The Omaha Kid was twice knocked
out by Terry McGoVern. and Young
COrbett also turned the same trick,
although that was when the Kid was
on the downward path. During his
ring career Of 10 years Gardner met
the best men OF his weight. and was
seldom defeated
Santry was also a classy boxer, and
since his retirement from the ring
he has been elected to the Illinois
legislature.

tiyes of the National Wheat Growers
Association at a conference Monday.
In brief to he presented to the

vance in the present fixed prices is
necessary because Of the increased
cost of production.
Cost of production figures prepar-
ed independently by trained statis-
ticians," the brief, which was made
public tonight says, show that the

average cost of production of wheat

inevitable cost of production Of the

The wheat growers take eXcentlon

cultural department, declaring that
In computing them the department
considered only the acreage harvest

ed IN 1916 was abandoned while of
the acreage planted last fan more
than Is per cent was abandoned
Declaring labor now receives from

the price for wheat should increase
