BILL C0RPSTE|V IS
 HIGH GLASS REFEREE

At last a man has been found, in Phoenix who can properly referee boxing match This man is Bill Corp stein, for many months official referee at the Mare Island navy yards.
 Corpstein officiated at all three matches staged by the Phoenix Ath- lotic club Friday evening and his work was an outstanding featuFe.- His ref creeing reflects itself in the manner in which the boxers performed, too.
 There never was any doubt as to who was the referee in these matches. Corpstein made his ruling and if the participants did not immediately heed. he enforced them. When he said "break," the men usually broke and if they didn't Bill simply walked be- tween them.
 He was as cool and collected as veteran fight official. He did not hesi- tate in making decisions, which were final. There was no back sliding whatsoever.
 That he understands his business was demonstrated in the first bout, at the conclusion of which he did not hesitate in raising the right hand of Young Hughes in a token of victory And it was just that way that he went through all three bouts.
 Tommy OBrien, who suffered defeat at the hands of Young Brown in the main event of the evening. said yes 1erday of Corpstein: Hes as square an official as I ever worked before He understands his business, too.'
 This from the man over whom Corp stein thrice peeled off the count of nine and who ultimately gave Brown the victory

pitchers Moran does. and between the two of them they have a rather smart ptipching staff-
 That very likely. is the answer to the argument of Why are the Reds?" Pat Moran and Bill Raridan, veterans of the big mitt, have rounded out a quintet of pitchers standing out above all other National League clubs.
 With man like Reuther still going good the Reds can be figured to make fight right up to thep finish of the season. They're taking good care of his arm.
 Time was when Reuther was sort of a Babe Ruth. Playing for Spokane in the Coast League he used to crack out homers quite frequently. He hit two homers over the Seattle rights field fence two days in succession. He played first and the outfield there. But he hasn't time to Babe Ruth it for the Reds. A,pitcher who can win F games and only drop two is too valuable in the hoX

 FREE-FOR-ALL PACE

CLEVELAND. Aug. 9.-The biggest upset of the grand circuit meeting came today when Russell Boy, an out slider, won the free-for all pace, purse s2,500, the feature of the getaway card at North Randall. The time was 2:01%.
 The contest was figured as a strictly two- horse race between Miss Harris M. and Single c, but neither was able to get to the wire first. Russell Boy led all the way in the first two heats. winning with plenty to spare. In the third heat, however. after leading most of the way, he succumbed to Directum J. about 50 feet from the fin ish and finished half a length back.
 Neither Russell Boy nor Directum J. Were given much consideration by the speculators.
 Britton Forbes and Amardale were the only favorites to win.
 Today's receipts, s4,30o, were given to Charity.

If the Reds win the pennant-an they've got a chance-dont overlook Walt Reuther when tossing out the bouquets Walt is a big per cent of the Red team. In the first 19 games in which figured his wins were r and his losses bu two. Any pitcher who can travel away past the halfway mark and only lose two games is some pitcher.
 Reuther arrived this year. It isn't his first but ii is his first big one. He only figured in two games for the Reds last year and lost one of them.
 But this year-oh, boy-how he's travelling. When Christy Mathewson was at the head of the Redland aggre- Gation the experts believed he would win lots of games because of his abil ity to get the young pitching stars in winning shape. But it remained for Fat Moran and Bill Raridan to turn the trick.
 Reuther is a pet of Raridan. What Bill doesn't know about catching and

(By Razz Berry)
 You want to whip the Yankees keep 'em off the home lot.
 Many kid fighting in his own back yard has sent the neighbours son home with bloody nose and raspberry optics. The Yankees would really prefer playing on their home lot every day. There they can lam out home runs, doubles and triples to their hearts content and to the modification of the visiting baseballers. The Tanks will soon be back home for a long stay back with both eyes black, their nose bloody, their stockings out at the knees and in every other way presenting an appearance of having been on the out skirts of the Dempsey Willard row at Toledo. July 4. They've been through fire and birthstone and they're seeking vengeance. Ma and Pa Knickerbocker say if they don't give the visiting kids a trimmin' they'll disown them

POPCORN DOWN.
Price Falls OF for Big Iowa Product.

Odebolt, Ia.-There is no county
in the state, if in the county, where
there is more popcorn raised than in
Sac county. A large number of far
mers within a short distance of this
city raise popcorn each year and
find At very profitable crop. Several
thousand acres are planted to this
crop.
j. D. Cornish says: Eve usually
sell the bulk of our crop to Chicago
dealers and these firms resell it to
various wholesale dealers through
out the country. A good part of
each years crop is contracted in adj
vance and the price has shown a big
drop this season. Last year we sold
our popcorn around 6 cents and 8
cents pound. Some of the old crop
sold as high at $40 per hundred
weight, but where farmers have not
signed Scent cantracts is is hard to
obtain more than $3.50 for new pop
corn at present"
Farmers in this vicinity watch the
market quotations on popcorn like
the ordinary farmer watches the
market on cattle and grains.
Mr.. Cornish says that popcorn is
drilled like ordinary corn so that
it can be cultivated both lengthwise
and crosswise. From three to six
kernels are planted to the hill and
normal yield averages from $500
to 5000 pounds per acre. The crop
is harvested and shelled in the usual
way, the fodder being used for
stock food.
