however. is not a weak link in the chain.
as the mass soldier has already been

Aside from the actual donations OF
golf clubs and balls. this commission
received surprising amount OF favor

golf men had the work OF this commits

The unsettled condition OF tbs camps
at this time is such that Il is impossible
to make any predictions concerning our

II is quite probable that your various

the athletic division OF the commission

Department that the United States Coli
Association cooperate with the de-
partment in obtaing gold clubs, bags
and other materials for the various can
tonments throughout the country. The
association. together with many of the
sectional associations, used every eff
fort to make this plan a success, Pos

Anent Clarence Forbes.

Al Lippe, apparently presumes that
because he is manager of boxers he
Is qualified to discourse on all questions
pertaining to pugilism. He gives utter
snce 10 the following announcement:
When Clarence Forbes beat Casper
Leon he did not claim the champion
ship, although he had a right to do co.
Then came along his brother, Harry
Forbes. who after defeating Leon
claimed the tit'c and became tho rec
ogrized champion. Therefore I refer
to Clarence Forbes as tho boxer who
held the championship for minute"
I. w!n be news 10 those familiar
with ring events at the time Caspar
Leon was in his prime to learn that he
sver held the bantam title. Ring his
tory shows that on September IS, 1894,
at time when Jimmy Barry OF Chicago
was the recognized bantam champion OF
America, that he and Caspar Leon met
~ Lamont. IL. in a title bout and Barry
won by knockout in the twenty eighth
round.
As Barry never lost q professional
fght in his life. his only defeat being a
four round decision on points In his first
contest as an amateur, he remained
the bantam champion till 1898. when
he formally retired from tho ring. Bar
~ and Leon met several times after the
Lamont battle, but all their subsequent
contests resulted In draws.
Along Came Terry.
After the retirement Of Barry. Terry
hc(iovern laid claim to the bantam title
and how well he defended it is in
dcllbly imprinted In the records.
r. may be that Harry Forbes enter
famed the hope that he would succeed
Barry, but If so ttc ambition was shat
tered october l. 1Sqs. when he was
knocked out by McGoycrn in the ff-
teenth round at tho Pelican A. c..
Brooklyn. In 1922 MSiovern knocked
out Forbes in the second round. and as
the Brooklyn Terror had stopped Leon
IN the thirteenth round, also in 1899 II
readily can be seen that any champion
ship aspirations held either by Forbes
or Leon had been eifcctually snuffed out
by the punches OF Terrible Terry.
Forbes is credited with a knockout OF
Leon on April 2. 1901, three years after
the Italian had been eliminated from
Tho title competition by McGovern.
In 1899 McGovern climbed into the
featherweight class. and then Harry
Forbes laid claim to tho title, He held
on TO II TIL August 13. 1913. when he
was knocked out by frankie Neil.
So far as Clarence Forbes Is con-
cerned. he never had the remotest claim
60 the title. not even for minute.

WEALTH IN ORANGES

1t is stated in any number of news.
papers that the orange crop this sea-
son promises to break all records.
We can readily believe it for a few
days ago with a party of friends we
visited the Kendig grove, near Spar,
and was pleased as well as gratifed
to find it loaded with fruit.
1t was a beautiful sight.
No other fruit orchard seems to
present the same richness of color

make a most attractive picture.
We said that the trees were loaded
with fruit and SO they are. We count
ed in many clusters as many as a
dozen oranges Hanging on stems nc
bigger than ones thumb.
And such big oranges. Indeed,
they were of ssuch immense size,
that one of the party, who was from
Texas. said he twas going to carry a
sample back home with him just to
show the children how big oranges
grew in Florida. They were naveIs
The trees are yielding so heavily
that props have to be placed under
them. 6
1t is estimated that the crop this
season will readily bring between
thirty or thiffffive thousand dollars.
A few years ago the grove could
have been bought for less than the
present crop will bring in the mar.
kets.
The owner wants the crop to fully
mature before ia box is shipped so
marketing will not begin for a month
yet.
We are indebted to Mr.. George
Carlton, the manager, for many cOur-
tesies and for b number of both or.
anges and grapefruit and can vouch
for their delicacy of flavor.
They ought tO and will bring top
notch prices.
