THE old days when armies ceased
fighting TO watch their two cham
pions in single combat have come
back again.
1t was on the western front, and
the engagement that resulted in the
death Of Immelman the Falcon, Ger
many's most distinguished ace, was
in very truth a duel--no chance meet
ing Of men determined to Stay one
another, but formally arranged en-
counter, following a regular challenge
and fought by prearrangement and
without interference.
The battle was witnessed with
breathless interest by the men of both
armies crouched in the trenches, sep
Hrated by only a few feet of No Mans
Land, while the fire of the anti-air-
craft guns on both sides was stilled.
The victor in the spectacular fight
was Captain Ball. the youthful Eng
fish pilot who was killed later in
France after winning a magnificent
series of victories in the air.
One morning Captain Ball, who was
behind the English sector, heard that
Immelman was opposite.
"This is the chance I've been wait
ing for; I'm going to get him." de-
elared Ball Friends tried to dssuade
him. saying the story of Immelman's
presence probably was untrue. Ball
would not listen.
Getting into his machine, he flew
over the German lines. and dropped
n note which read:
Captain Immelman: | challenge
you to a man-to-man fight, to take
place this afternoon at o'clock. |
will meet you over the German lines.
Have your anti-aircraft guns withhold
their fire while we decide which is
the better man. The British guns
will be silent.--Ball.
About an hour afterwards Ger
man aviator swung out across our
lines. Immelmans answer came. /
Translated, it read
Captain Ball: Your challenge is ac-
eepted. The German guns will not |
interfere. | will meet you promptly /
Mt Zimmerman.
Just few minutes before o'clock /
the guns on both sides ceased firing. |
II was as though the commanding Of
hcer had ordered truce. Long rows /
of heads popped up. and all eyes
watched Ball from behind the British
lines shoot off and into the air. A
minute or two later lmmelman's ma
chime was seen across No Mans Land.
The tail of the German machine was
painted red ito represent the British
and French blood it had spilled" while
Balls had a streak of black paint to
the mourning for his vic
Tins. The machines assembled in
wide circle, and then, according to
nm eye witness:

In Germany now there are advertise

news sought to be conveyed.

BOB FlTzslMMONs DIED POOR
Estimated He Made S25o,ooo in Ring,
Besides $4,000 He Received From
Moving Pictures.

Imnroyidence seems to be the rule
among boxers, most of whom will not
Law aside something for rainy day.
When Bob Fitzsimmons died recently
he left nothing in money or properly.
Yet he earned a fortune In the ring.
He settled a house and many thou
sands of dollars on his second wife,
Rose Julian, and her children. He re-
ceived $4,000 from his two battles with
Maher, $4,000 from his bout with Hail,
about $4,000 from his scrap with Cor
bett at Carson City, $4,000 for whip
ping Dan Creedon, $4,000 for two
bouts with Tom Sharkey, $4,000 for
two battles with Jeffries, $4,000 for
the contest with Gus Rubin and many
thousands more for other ring exhibit
tons.
In all it is estimated that Fitz made
$3.50 600 in the ring, besides which he
received about $4,000 from moving
pictures of his fights. He made many
unwise investments and was marx
for adventures and bunco men, be-
sides which his generosity was re-
sponsible for further scattering the
thousands he had accumulated.

America has known. The natural con-
ditions peculiar to Western Canada
and so adaptable to grain growing, has
been an insurmountable barrier for her
competitors to overcome. In the last
few years the yields of wheat and
oats per acre have surprised the agri-
cultural world. AS much as sixty bush-
els of wheat per acre has been grown
on some farms, while others have fur
niShed affidavits showing over fifty
bushels of wheat per acre, and oats az
high as one hundred and twenty bush
els per acre. One reputable farmer
makes affidavit to a crop return of over
fifty-four thousand bushels of wheat
from thousand acres. While this Is
rather the exception than the rule,
these yields serve to illustrate the fer
tility of the soil and the possibilities
of the country, when good farming
methods are adopted. Western Cam
ada can surely lay undisputed claim to
being THE Worlds natural bread bas-
ket. "-Advertisement.

ROSS OUGHT TO SPECIALIZE
Olympic Club Star Is Making Mistake
in Not Concentrating His Eff.
forts, Say Swimmers.

Men we'll posted in swimming af-
fairs, as we'll as number Of expert
swimmers, have expressed the opinion
that Norman Ross, the Olympic club
star and holder of dozen or more
national and world records in various
swimming events, is making a mis-
take in not specializing and concen-
trating his efforts.
Ross is admitted to be one of the
most versatile mermen that ever took
to the water, and has shown his PROV
ess in both long and short distance
events.
From the 50-yard sprint to the Cruel
ing mile swim across the Golden Gate,
Ross has achieved fame, but the con-
tention is made that Ross is naturally
an athlete most likely to achieve dis
tinction in the 900 and 440-yard events.
BY specializing in these it is main
tanned that he would eventually set
figures for these swims that it would
take years to beat, with the Hkell-
hood that he might establish marks
which would keep him in the records
for a long time after his swimming
days, if not for all time.
In attempting to negotiate all kinds
of swims and distances, the conten-
ton is made that while Ross may win
and even break records, these figures
will not be as decisive, and may soon
be bettered by other men who special
