STECHER WORKING
 HARD FOR b|G BOUT
Premier Grappler in Fine Trim for Coming Match
 Here Next Week

Wrestling fans of Birmingham need not get the idea that Joe Stetcher has been loafing on the job as to his train- ing for mat battles since he has been in the army, for such is not the case. In fact, the claimant to the world's s heavyweight wrestling title has been busier than at any time in his career.
 He was allowed a number of hours each day to keep his body in physical trim. aside from the gruelling drills that, of course, were necessary. Joe soon be- came the idol of his camp, and after vanquishing all corners in his division at the wrestling game, he naturally had to seek other fields.
 Sergeant Joe dabbled in boxing a bit, just for the sake of the exercise and took up fencing and other branches of sport to bring his muscles in play, at the sam time taking daily work k-outs on the mat well, with ambitious youngsters who sought to learn the game from him.
 As a consequence, when he received his honorable discharge from the army, he was as hard as nails and in better trim than he had ever been in his life. Joe had wrestled too much, prior to going in the army. He took on too many oppo- nents of the top-notch class in too short q length of time When he got out Of service he was rearing to go.
 The fact that he is in such superb physical trim will make the match all the more interesting when the most prom inent figure in the wrestling world since the retirement of Gotch, steps into the ring against Henry Avidson, the giant Swedish phenom, Monday night, Febru- ary r, at the Athletic club gym.

AMERICA ID ENTER OLYMPIC CONTESTS U. s. to Be Represented in Next Meet, Wherever
 It Is Staged
By Associated Press

New York, February 10.- America stands ready to send a representative athletic team to the next Olympia teams regardless of the time or place which may be designated" This was the answer of prominent amateur athletic union off cials to the query of the Swedish Athletic association, made through United States Minister Morris at Stockholf, recently.
 The track and field authorities of this country have been actively engaged since the signing of the armstice in preparing for worldwide revival in competitive athletics and the implied desire of the Swedish association to re-establish the Olympic games did not occasion surprise in A. A. U. circles. Sweden acted as host to athletes from all parts of the world in the meet of 1912 and the impos- ing stadium built for the contests still stands. Whatever the date, the Olympic games will be preceded by several inter national track meets of more or less for mal character, either in this country or Europe.

 pers in New Jersey
Bv Associated Press

''NNN0'NN~-
 New York February 10-Tex Rickard, who is promoting a worlds heavyweight championship bout between Jess Willard and Jack Dempsey, secured the signature of Dempsey to the articles of agreement today. In order that there would be no legal flaw in the agreement Rickard and Dempsey and the latter's manager, Jack Kearns. crossed the Hudson river and signed the articles in the ferry house at Weehawken, N J.
 A number of newspaper men were pres ent when the papers were signed, and the witnesses who signed the agreement were featherweight champion. The trip to New Jersey was made to avoid a possible vio- lation of the laws of the state of New York if the signatures were affixed to the papers in this city.
 Dempsey left tonight to begin a six weeks theatrical tour at Union Port, Pa. Before he went he said to Rickard
 There is nobody other than Jack Kearns who has any claims on my serv- ices. Kearns is my manager and any arrangements he makes for me will be satisfac ctory to me, and I will fulfill them, I will live up to the contract I signed with you today and will start framing the moment l get through with my tour six weeks hence.'
 Under the agreement Dempsey is to receive s27, 300 and one-third of the mo- tion picture privileges. while the cham pion, Willard, is to get sl00.O0o and one third of the picture privileges.
 The articles call for bout not to ex- ceed 40 rounds.
 Rickard said tonight he was satisfied with the progress made so far. and would leave here in few days to look over sites in various places throughout the country where the big contest could be staged.

Corbett's Daily Letter
 On Great Sport Topics
By JAMES J. CoRBETT

The cry of Fred Fulton that he was double crossed" in his fight with
 Jack Dempsey apparently has sounded
 the pugillistic death knell for the an gular plasterer.
 F'ulton's statement has been termed an absolute untruth by the man who ! managed him in that fight and by the
 man who whipped him. Since Fulton's surprising declaration came out of san
 Francisco not one supporting word has come. And there have been reams upon l reams to indicate that there was no frame-up; that Fulton was whipped fair- ly and squarely.
 But whether the Fulton statement is thing-he is dead pugilistically If it Is true that he agreed to proposition to obtain money under the false pretense of fighting to the ultimate of his power then no shrewd promoter will engage Fulton from now on. It would be a los ing venture. Patrons of fight clubs want to see real honest fights-not frame
 ups. And if Fulton agreed to one frame" as he insists he did, then isn't IL 4O5iSai to SUpptSG lldl lt lillSuL uO it again?
 If there was no agreement before the fight then Futons statement is an un- truth intended solely to take from Dempsey the credit that is due him for hi. spectacular knockout victory over
 the western trowel weilder. And when
 anyone lies for the purpose of dmming the radiance on another the person is 'in bad''-and everlastingly so. Many persons are mystified by the fact that Fulton never "peeped' from the moment of the July battle unil Tex
 Rickard decided upon Dempsey as the
 logical foe for Jess Willard. But there is nothing mysterious about it. The
 whole situation, summed up, Is this: Fulton. poorly advised, blurted out such
 a statement with the foolish hope that 1t
 might bring about another match for
 him with Dempsey in which he hoped to
 whip Dempsey and so earn for himself
 the right to fight Willard in titular
 bout
The Birmingham age-herald., 1919-02-11

Fulton has been described by some who know him intimately as "booo; by others as a man lacking mature Juds- ment while still others class him as nothing but an oyergrown boy. And each of those factions claim that Full tons foolish action in declaring he was party to a frame-up in which he got nothing but the double cross''-a left 10 the body and right to the taw-pears them out.
 Just how Fulton ever hit upon the idea that by saying he was "doubfe crossed in an alleged frome-up he would get a chance for return match IS nara to figure out-unless you conceded that Fulton is in the ''boob" class. If he haF used any reasoning power at all ne would have deciGed-in case there ac- tually was a frs4re-up--that the better plan was continued silence. Then he might have been reasonably certain of getting another match with Dempsey, because Dempsey, having whipped Full ton with two wallops, wouldn't have much hesitation over a return match.
 But as it is, FNulton's statement has done nothing else but make him self branded fakir in the eyes of some-and a mangler of truth in the eyes of others Once he was among the greatest drawing cards in pusilism. Now he is an unde- sirable citizen 8 s far as the fight game
 
 is concerned.
 Incidentally while putting himself Tn an unenviable position. Fulton has hand ed a wicked looking black eye to publ- lisn His challenged statement coming just at q time when a revival Of pugl- lism was under way in many states may have the effect of kicking much of the revive" out of. it. Enemies or the boxing game-and they are legion have been only awaiting such chance as the Fulton statement has given them to renew their assault on the boxing game.
 And legislators might be so influenced by the knocks that they may delay ac- ton on bills in some of the states-and kill them entirely in others
 It's too bad for Fred Fulton and the boxing game in general that he ever was prevailed upon to make the state nent that he did. Maybe he made it of his own free willard maybe not. If he didn't-if some so-called friend told him Ego to it"-then Fulton ought to reward that friend by dealing out to him an unceasing succession of his fa- nous left jabs.

The negro farmers of Mad ison county planted 10000 acres in corn in 1918; it required about 7500 bushels of seed corn to plant this acreage and of this quantity of seed corn 20 per cent did not grow because of low vii tality and many hundreds of acres had to be planted over in part or entirely causing great loss to farmers. which can be stopped Mir Garth asked for plans to meet the situation and the fol lowing plan was worked out: Fifty communities were selected and 10 farm CTS from each community were asked to select samples of seed corn intended for planting. each farmers sample tA consist of 10 ears of corn and each community sample to consist of at feast 100 ears of corn. A series of prizes was offered for the 10 best ears raised by a farmer and the best 100 ears raised by a community. The Hunts vile Chamber of Commerce assumed responsibility for cash and merchandise prizes and the district agent took charge of the work, made up the prize lists, rules. regulations, etc.
