appeared as If Lewis was doing the
major portion OF the work, and IL
swings that miss and hooks that are
blocked count for anything, perhaps
he did. 1t is true that he succeeded
in hitting Leonard with some regu-
larity, but IL is also true that Leon
ards left found it's mark more often
than Lewis. and that Leonard's right
scored almost whenever he started 1t.
Furthermore, in the clinches Lewis
did all of the holding and his foot
work was not to be compared with
Leonard's. By this it is not meant
that Leonard galloped home in front
that his margin of victory was great,
but there should not be the slightet
doubt that Leonard won on points"
1T was Leonard's left hand that
won for him. Lewis continually tried
to hook Benny with his left and
swing over a right. Leonard, on the
other hand, fought cautiously-much
too cautiously, as a matter of fact
but managed to waste few lefts. His
left was fast and accurate. Why
Leonard held his right back so per-
sistently is something that only Leon
ard can satisfactorily explain. Why
he didn't let go of it is beyond the
ken of any who were present. Per-
haps he was afraid he would leave
himself open for Lewis left hooks.
or perhaps he failed to realize, his
opportunities. Certain it is he failed
to take advantage of them.
There can be no acceptable eX-
cuse for the miserable showing they
made. Less prominent boxers would
fear to do as little real fighting in
eight rounds. If they are rematched
the chances are they wouldn't draw
the proverbial corporals guard"
The fight financially was big sue
cess. The box office receipts were
S31. .024; less the state tax they were
S27,922. OF this Leonard received an
$4,000 guarantee or 35 per cent,
which was S7,772.70. Lewis, with 25
per cent, or privilege, got &c.

Long Live Ina Jay,
The Horse Hero

II is written in history that the
Roman emperor Claudius thought
so much of a certain horse that
he was on the point of making
him a Roman Consul and he did
build him a palace TO live in. An
equine just as popular to-day in
many parts of America with pa
irons of light harness racers is
the big trotter. Ina lay. 2.041s,
with which the owner Harvey
Earnest has been winning consec-
utiveIy durin four years. Ina
jaw made her first appearance
ON the half-mile tracks of Ohio
and Michigan in 1915, and after
showing that she was above the
average. Harvey prepared her for
a genuine series in 1915 over the
two-lap courses, as we'll as a few
of the mfle-tracks. When the sea-
son opened she bumped into
Wilkes Brewer and these mares
trotted a number of races that
are still considered the best that
were ever seen over the double
ovals. Heats were not only trot-
ted below 2.10, which is some-
thing out of the ordinary among
the two-lappers, but no one ever
/ knew who was going to win the
odd heat until il was finished.
That year Ina Jay also appear
ed at Hartford in the Charter
Oak purse. She took the word in
the memorable event that st. FFis-
co won after a siX-heat battle
with Mabel Trask. Ina Jay went
lame in this race and was drawn.
Harvey Ernest. at the time. how
ever, advised the association that
he would come back in 1917 and
win 1t. When the entries for 1917
/ closed. his was one of the first
/ received, and Ina Jay was re-
! turned as the winner. At the same
| time Ernest also advised the as
! sociation that a zoe class would
I suit him in 1918, and when the
] 1000 Battle Royal purse for .2.06
! trotters was announced his entry
| was the first received.
On September 4 lima Jay scored
up again at Hartford. and was
/ aain returned as a winner. Also
/ before the decision was announced
Harvey Ernest asked w. H.
] Goeher, the treasurer of the Con-
1 necticut Fair, for 2.05 class in
J 1919. so that he could i've the peo-
/ pie in Connecticut an opportunity
/ to see Ina Jay perform again be-
fore she joins the free-for-all

About ESQ Buyers and Spectat-
ors Being There

The Duroc-Jersey bred sow sale at
High Banks, Fairfield, Thursday, by
Riley Martiny & Son, the proprietors,
was a great success. Such q sale was
never before held in Sauk county, and
places this community one more step
forward. In other counties sales of
fine hogs, cattle and other animals
have been held, but never before in
this section.
The highest bid was $345, and the
forty-two hogs sold averaged $1G7, the
aggregate being $4,494.
One for the Red Cross
One of the hogs was contributed to
the Red Cross of Fairfield and the way
it was sold brought the organization
$1O7. With a dinner following at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Martiny, it is
hoped to bring the total for the So
ciety to $3.50.

the following:
HINTS ON SAVING COAL
1. Cover furnace and pipes with as
-bestos, or other insulation; also
weather strip your windows, or
stuff cracks with cotton.
2. Keep your rooms at So degrees
(best heat for heaIth).
3. Heat only the rooms you use all
the time.
q. Test your ashes by sitting. If you
find much good coal, there is
something wrong with your
heater. See a furnace expert.
5. Write to the maker of your fur
mace or stove for practical oirec-
tions for running economically.
6. Save gas and electric lights as
much as possible-this will save
coal for the nation.
U. S. FUEL ADMINISTRATION
The use of electricity in this com
munity does not come under the hints,
for it is generated by water power.

SPEND THE NIGHT
FEEDING HOGS
Thirteen Cars From Mankato Are
UnIoaded at Baraboo and Given
Corn---In Fine Condition
(From Fridays daily.)

R. L. Glazier, Gilbert Conan, Viii
liam Norton and George Weinke Spent
the night in unloading thirteen cars
of hogs at the Chicago & Northwest
ern yards, feeding them and reloading.
The hogs were shipped from Mankato
Mimi, on their way to Milwaukee
Four bushels of corn were given to
each car, about four ears to each hog
After eating they were driven back in
the cars and sent forward. There was
only one dead hog in the lot. The task
was completed just as the whistle blew
this morning, so the job was an all
night enc. 1t was the coldest night OF
the year, but the hogs did not appear
to suffer. They were fat and in fine
condition. Evidently Minnesota corn
agreed with them.
Worth Much Money
The hogs were worth about $500
a car, or about $45,500 for the whole
lot.
During the month of January, Mr.
Glazier, who conducts the feed store
on Third street, and his assistants
have unIoaded 149 cars of stock and
fed them at the Baraboo yards. Dur
ing the recent blizzard some of the
stock was in Baraboo several days
In the yards each car of stock must
be kept separate from the others.
