with five prizes offered for the five

Game From Amherst

MIDDLETOWN, Conn, Oct. 90
Wesleyan defeated Amherst on Andrus
leld' this afternoon, to 0, in a game
in which the two teams were evenly
matched for the first three quarters

the ball beyond Amherst's twenty-yard

twenty-three and one-half seconds
against Jack last summer, when the
two met in the ring at Harrison, n. J.
Nobody could convince the precocious
plasterer after that bout that it was a
human being he had fought. Fred
always insisted that there was some

A new candidate for championship
laurels has stepped into the field Of
water sports for women. Miss Farrell

this city, in 81 seconds. and although
two or three girl stars stand credited
with doing between 20 and 20 3-5 sec

such speed consistently. Nor should
it be overlooked that Miss Creighton is
seventeen, an age at which progress is
rapid, and that she is likely TO i'm

Miss l. Mclaughlin. of Cleveland,
recently disputed the right of Mary
Porter. the 11-year-old prodigy, to
the senior fancy diving championship
of the city, claiming She had herself
captured the title in open competition.
Harry Stevens, however, who virtually
runs water sports in Cleveland. writes
on the subject:
MISS McLaughlin's claim is totally
unwarranted. The championship for
women was decided under competent
eofhclais at Luna Park, and both SEN
lors and juniors were naturally elig-
'ble. Little Miss Porter not only won
the event but she defeated by big
margin the entire field. which included
the Misses Mclaughlin Nolan, Ne
Shame, Jelinck and Casmark all SEN
iors and the home leaders. That Mary
later also took the junior laureis in no
way affects the situation. She has
earned by superior work both the titles
and she stands ready to defend them
at any time against all rivals"

Waste, Or Damaged Peaputs,
Is Valuable as Hog Feed.

A fall seldom passes without bring
ing with it some rainy weather just
when peanuts are in shock and in
condition to be dragged Some years
the loss of peanuts is exceedingly
heavy. Other years it is almost moth
ing. When farmers do suffer losses
Of this kind it is we'll to know that
damaged peanuts are valuable for
hogs and that they may be substi-
other concentrates:
In fact, damaged peanuts are SO
valuable that they should be thought
OF as being in a class with wheat
shorts, wheat bran, peanut meal, and
sOybean meal rather than as damaged
goods. 1t my not be so this year, but
it has often happened that damaged
peanuts realized more as a result Of
being fed to hogs than they would
have brought had they remained SOW
ed and been sold as marketable nuts.
This test was made upon the Edge
cOmbe Branch Station Farm right il
the center of the peanut-growilg sec
ton. One lot Of pigs was placed il
small pen and given ration made
up of two-thirds corn plus one-third
wheat shorts. A second lot of similar
pigs was fed the same amount of corn
but damaged peanuts were substituted
FOR the wheat shorts. The pigs in the
first lot, where corn and shorts were
fed, gained, during the whole feeding
period Of 149 days Z Of a pound
daily, while those in the lot where
"a mayed peanuts were substituted for
the wheat shorts, gained 8 of a pound
daily. The peanuts proved to be su-
perior, too, to the wheat shorts in
economy Of 81 us When shorts were
employed 7.3 bushels Of corn plus 204
