and took up the biff game under the
management of brother Billy. Before
he met Young Corbett he had whipped
Kid Lavigne and Frank Erne, both
former lightweight champions, and a
number of other good men.
The bout between San Francisco's
pride and the conqueror of McGovern
went 20 rounds, and Britt was award
ed the decision. After that Britt took
on Joe Cans, then lightweight cham
pion, and had him licked when he
lost on a foul. Jimmy then took on
Battling Nelson, who had just defeat
ed Young Corbett, and whipped the
Dane in 20 rounds Britt then fought
Cans again for the title, and broke a
small bone in the sixth round and
lost Since Britt has quit the ring

lite and has tried his hand at other
forms of making a living When last

instructor in Montreal
On March 25, 1904, just IA years
ago today, Joe Cans defeated Jack
Blackburn in Is rounds at Baltimore.

STALLINGS HANDS
cherry" COLD NIT

Miami, Fla, March 25-Charles
Herzog appeared unexpectedly at the
Braves training camp here yesterday
but received little attention. Manager
Stallings refused to talk to the former
Giant captain. Stallings insists that
the Giants must arrange the trade for
Herzog, SO that Jimmy Smith will be
turned over to tia Braves without any
strings attached, es - now the case.
Should an agreA naGt be reached with
the Giants that ninth would not be in
danger of being recalled during the
season, it is likely that the Boston
club will quickly settle the differences
now existing between it and Herzog
Herzog does not appear to be in very
good health.

WELL KNOWN HERE
DIES IN NEW YORK
Former Middleweight Champion and Trainer Victim Of
Pneumonia Retired From the Ring
in 1882

step a punch. But it was not until
after the Civil War that he entered
the ring. His first professional fight,
according to the records, was with
Mike Conroy at Pittsburgh in July,
1855. At that time bare knuckles
were the only gloves used by the
gladiators of the ring.
This was one of the bouts that
Professor Mike" never forgot They
ght for two hours and nine minutes
in the open air, and were hardly
able to see each other at the finish.
The finishing punch, by the way, was
a solar plexus punch which Donovan
landed on his opponent.
Donovans rise in the ring was rapid
after that. In 1874 George Rookie re
signed his middleweight champion
ship and sailed for Europe. Professor
Nike claimed the title and success
fully defended it until 1882, when he
retired. Five years later, however,
he came out of his retirement and
beat the great Jack Dempsey in
six-round bout in Philadelphia.
For 80 years professor Mike" was
boxing instructor of the New York
A. c., and during this long stretch he
taught the wealthy how to defend
themselves in a hand-to-hand battle.
Among his pupils was Colonel Roose-
welt. Donovan boxed often with
Roosevelt when he was governor of
this state and when he occupied the
Presidential chair in Washington.
Donovan retired several years ago
from the New York A. C. on account
of his age.
Donovan fought thel ate John L.
Sullivan twice. The first was a four
round exhibition bout in Boston. 1t
was after this affair that Sullivan be-
came known through the country.
Arthur (Mike) Donovan, his son, is
now in service. The young Donovan
fought in the professional ring as a
middleweight, but did not meet with
the success of his father.

Fought at HaWeS Opera House.
Donovan was well known to the old
time fight fans in Bridgeport about %
years ago as he appeared at the old
Halves opera house on Fairfield ave-
nue., now known as the Plaza in
couple of six round bouts with Ed Nc
Clinchey, the latter who was in bust
ness on Wall street, where the City
National bank is now located. Harry
Hill, the famous New York sporting
man, refereed the bouts. Donovan
was a great man in his prime, say

other day he made a fine impression
on John McGraw.
Boss George Stallings of the Braves
has ordered Bill James to take it easy
He will not listen to Bill doing any
heavy work until he has worked him

Connie Mack of the Athletics has his
training methods. He believes in CIV
ing his men plenty of recreation and
rest at noon. Down at Jacksonville,
Fla, the Mackmen's boss makes his
players walk to town for lunch instead
of having it served to them at the
baseball park.
Ed. Barrow of the Red SSx has an
nounced his batting order for the
opening game of the season, April Is,
with the Athletics. Harry Hooper
starts off with Everett Scott as the
sacrifice expert. Strunk is third,
while Stuffy McInnis occupies This
Speakers old position, cleanup man.
Stuffy McInnis is still capering
around third base for the Red Sox at
Hot Springs, but his chances of play
ing that bag when the season actual
ly gets under way are fairly remote.

Oscar Witt of the Detroit Tigers and

With Larry Gardner on third and
George Burns stationed at the first
corner, Connie Mack has his first

the short field. This trio makes Con-

Uncle Sam has not yet taken hold
of organized baseball, so nothing can
be done with holdouts in the way of
court martial or firing squad or life

Which reminds US that Hugh Jen-

these gentlemen are in California and
insist that they will not report for

Bert Daniels, who played right

Chase, Wolverton and Chance, is re-
firing from baseball. In recent years
he has been a member of the Louis

batting eye, as well as his speed on

time to that line of work. He was
very popular with the fans, who will
regret his going.

BIG PATRIOTIC DAY.
LAST SATURDAY

Between the school children and
and the patriotic citizens of the town
Raymer certainly enjoyed a wave of
patriotism last Saturday.
Theprogram in the afternoon was
started by the school children, with a
few selections from those outside the
schools. notably song by Mrs. w. A.
Helmann.
The address by Wayne c. Williams
from Denver. was soul stirring
to the people for patriotic effort. 1t
was the best address ever heard In
.Raymer, and II is due to Louis Allen
that he was secured, for Mr.. Allen
simply got him here
Mr.. Williams. was also pursuaded
to remain over for part in the even
ing program, which was along the
same lines, and immensely enjoyed
by all present,
The object of the meeting was to
stir up enthusiasm so as to make
easy the liberty loan drive next
week.

The Saturday celebration was car
ried on in most patriotic manner,
each numder on the program was
wonderfully well rendered. The pre-
formers should be heartily congrat-
ulated. To the program committee
belongs the highest praise for bring
ing before the people such a pleasing
program in such a we'll arranged
way.
Mr.. Williams speech was enjoyed
by all and the committee that select
ed the speaker should also be con-
graduated.

more programs OF this kind under the
same managemet.

STANDARD OIL
IS INTERESTED

That there is something more than
rnmor to oil in this locality is pro-
ven by the fact that Mr.. Maxwell OF
Ft. Morgan representing the Carter
Oil Company, Standard corporation
is around this vicinity securing oil
leases on lands.
Some homesteadere fear to sign up
lease fearing that the discovery OF
oil might work a forfeiture Of lands
proved up on by the homestead laws
but such fears are groundless.

FARM CATTLE

Farmers shouldn't overlook the fact
that the bull is half the herd. The
fine cattle Of Europe are being de-
stroyed during the present war and
cattle of the farm type are going to
become higher. Every calf which the
farmer raises is largely profit and
the better the calves the greater the
profit. 1t cost more to raise scrub
calf than 1t does well bred one and
a grade bull is the greatest of farm
waste.
In the SOS Alfred Baxter estab-
lished ranch at Carr. Colo, which
endured and remained paying in
stitution long after all other settlers
had starved out and moved away
The secret lay In the fact that Mr..
Baxter bred nothing but fine large
red and roam Shorthorn cows, then
called "Durhams" from which he OBJ
tanned a good quantity of milk and at
the same time his steers always sold
at a premium. He was an English
man and knew that probably 30 per
cent OF the milk of London comes
from Shorthorn cows OF the Bates or
milking strain. The Bates cattle
have been the great milk and beef
animals OF England for more than a
century while the Shorthorns of Scot
land, bred by Cruickshank and others
have been raised primarily for heavy
beef purposes. The greater portion
of the Shorthorn cattle in the west
are from the beef type while the
Bates lines mustultimately furnish
the farm cattle for the dry-farmer
as he must have both milk and beef.
A registered herd bull can be pur-
chased for but little more than
three year old steer brings at the
stOckyards.
An absolutely pure Bates herd bull
can be purchased for what two or
three steers will bring. A herd bull
with little extra care and protection
Is good for several years and may be-
come the sire OF several hundred
calves. 1t cost some more at the start
to get the best but In the end the in
yestment is repaid a hundred fold
and during the course of few years
the owners herd becomes notorious
rather than a sourse of apology.
II the farmers OF this community
would start in at building up their
herds by the use of the best bulls
with their grade cows, the neighbor-
hood would decome notorious for its
fine cattle within the next ten years
and when 1t is remembered that all
the gain over that of raising scrub
cattle is the first side OF the ledger
and In the end cost practically moth
ing, 1t would certainly follow that
the community would become more
prosperous with each new year.
