Assessment in Hamilton
County Shows Decrease

Aurora, Neb., July l1.-(Special.}
County Assessor Bergeson's re-
port shows a reduction of $l,487,-
go in the taxable wealth of Hamil-
ton county. Real estate shows a
gain of $1,131,520, but personal
property is $2,6l9,4o0 less than last
year. This is attributed to the crop
failure, which left the county with
very little grain and live stock on
hanc April /. An investment of be-
tween $2,000,000 and $3,00000O in
Liberty bonds and other tax ex-
erlpt government securities also
contributed to this condition.

Dry Weather Is Curling
Corn in Fillmore County

Geneva, JNeb., July 1l-(Special.)
Wheat in Fillmore county is
nearly all cut and farmers are turn

The yield Of wheat, which promised
IS to 40 bushels to the acre, based
on the amount of straw, will be
considerably less. The grain dried
too rapidly after excessive rainfall,
which caused shrinkage of the

HERE is A BIRD OF A STORY
TOLD BY M'GRAW

John McGraw tells an interesting
story concerning Harry Sparrow, bus
mess manager of the Yankees, and
Harry vouches for the truth of the
yarn, which might be regarded as one
of those made to- order stories Nc
Graw and Sparrow were standing in
front of the Auditorium hotel in Chi
cago a few years ago when Eddie
Pigeon, former newspaper man and
now well known in theatrical circles.
came along. Both knew Eddie well
and they chatted for few minutes
when along came Dan Canary, the
time bike racing star, who knew
McGraw, but did not know the others
in the group. After the usual greeting
McGraw began to introduce the stran-
gers. Mr.. Canary, meet Mr.. Pigeon,"
said McGraw. very glad to meet
you" returned the old time bike star
to Pigeon. Nov meet Mr. Sparrow,
Mr.. Canary" said McGraw in all seri-
BUSINESS. BY this time Canary decided
that McGraw was having some fun at
his expense and was ringing in bird
names on him. He had responded to
the Pigeon introduction, but the Spar
row part was too much, so he refused.
Think you're kiddin' me, do you?" he
snorted, and then he continued on his
way down Michigan boulevard, fully
convinced that McGraw was trying to
play a joke on him.

"BRUTALn TO
FRENCH, SAYS MATHEWSON

Those pretty dreams of worlds Sc

the Paris Green SoX were dissipated
into thin air by Capt. Christy Mathew
son when he returned from France on
the Holland liner Rotter-
dam.
THE French never will take up
baseball in a hundred years." said
Matty. "a poilu would rather catch a
hand grenade than q hot liner, and he
far rather would try to stop a German
II than get in front of hard-hit
grounder. No, baseball is not a
Frenchman's game; l am convinced of
that. They say it is too rough and
call it brutal They want something
more gentle, such as football or duel

Il don't know what I will do with

mer idol of the Giant fans. Perhaps
can start a gas school for umpireS
and teach them how to gas lrate play

Returning to the efforts of the
French to play ball, Mathewson said
some poilus did gamely try to play the
game under American tutelage, but
made no progress. They are terrible
in their infield work" said Matty, "as
the grounders hop by them before they
know it. They have shown some apti-
Uude at base running but you have to
put them on the bases in order to give

YALE BOWL FOR SUNDAY SPORTS

The most sweeping internal changes
ever made at one time in the Yale ath-
letic regime were voted by the board
Of control in athletics of the univer-
sity recently in the first meeting held
by that body since the signing of the
armistice. During the war regular
meetings of the board were impossi-
BILE because so many of its members,
both alumni and undergraduates, were
in military service.
The changes voted were requested,
however, by the undergraduates. They
had been previously voted by the I'm
dergraduate Athletic association, by
the student council of the academic
and that of the Sheffield Scientific
school, apart from any changes in the
Yale athletic system which have been
discussed by the chairmen of the ath-
letic committees of Harvard, Prince
ton and Yale.
Some of the changes are radical and
extreme. One was the opening of Yale
field and the Yale bowl for recreation
on Sunday afternoons. Another allows
the award of free board for an athlete
who is working his way through col
lege- Still another establishes the sys-
tenn of football training before the
opening of the college. Another as
sures permanent coaches for the
freshman athletic teams. Another
upsets the plan of a triangular track
meet and reverts to the system of dual
track meets with Harvard and Prince
ton. Another gives the student coun-
ellis disciplinary power over athletes
who are in trouble in their studies.
Another will prevent for all time the
cutting down during the season of
candidates for the athletic teams.

DEMPSEY TO HAVE
LIFETIME CHANCE

Now that Georges Carpenter has
been counted out Of consideration as
Jess Wizards opponent, Jack
Dempsey is confronted with the big
gest chance in the history of pugi-
lism. In the next four years the
world is going to seq a period of fe-
verish boxing activity, and if Demp-
sey should wrest the championship
from Willard he will assure himself
of the greatest financial success yet
attaIEeG by a titIaholder. If Ijemp-
sey earns the title he will be no Will
lard in the matter of frequency OF
action Dempsey is the kind of man
who Graves and thrives on action
He is a sort of out-of-date fstic curl
osity, who fights mainly for the
sheer zest and fun of fighting.
In view of these considerations it
is not believed that Tex Richard
will encounter any difficulties in
signing Dempsey to d contract. AS
challenger and with so great an OPP
portunity before him Dempsey
should take anything he can get 1t
will be remembered that after VIII

catching is what they are most afraid
of. There is something terrible to
them about the man who puts L mask
on and straps a chest protector around
him. I don't think you could find the
makings of a catcher in all France
Whenever you could get fellow who
was game enough to put on a mask he
would want a wire ENHANCEMENT be-
tween himself and the batsnan and a
handy dugout to take refuge in"
Mathewson paused for another
laugh as he told how two doughboys
blocked traffic in French town with
game of catch, 'They were tossing
the ball back and forth, and there was
lot of room for people to get by, but
nobody tried to get past. Everyone
that was going in one direction paused
behind one player and those going in
the opposite direction lined up behind
the other. Finally somebody had to
tell them to quit so that the town could
go about its business"

rather early to hazard any prediction
