PPONENTS of the noble art of W glowing assert that all boxers lose their heads and cherish bitter rivalry towards their opponents
 The majority of the front rank box CTS make it a business, into which personal feelings seldom enter, and there is no animus between the men.
 Jeffries and Fftzsimmons.
 Many of the most important fights in America have been conducted in the very best spirit, the one feeling being to abide by the rules and let the best man win. Often during the progress of big encounters, friend iy remarks pass between the contest ants. In the battle between Jim Jeff ries and Bob Fftzsimmons for the worlds championship, there were ire quent displays of good nature.
 Admirable spirit.
 When the men shook hands, Jeff ries said:
 Bob, I'm going to win! But I know I'll have hard timel''
 ''If you can win, old man." was Fitz's reply, you are entitled to all the glory the public will shower upon you.''
 When Fitzsimmons was f1oored in the second round, he remarked as he staggered to his feet, Jeff, that was a beauty"
 It was in the Corbett- Jeffries go that the crowd began to laugh at Jeffries because of his inability to reach the pompadour boxer. Jeffries looked chagrined and discouraged, but said: 'T can't get you now, Jim. but may be I'll have better luck later"
 If you do, I'll know answered Corbett, as he jabbed Jeff four times like lightning without a return. M
 But Jeff spoke by the card He did get Corbett and Jim felt it.

 That's only s2S2,5o0 but there are two taxes which are to be paid and which Rickard will pay. It's the 10 per cent. government tax on each ticket, which runs into $40,000, fig uring on a s40o,Oo0 house, and an- other tax of [ per cent, which goes to the city and which figures on the same sized house, $2S,000. That will leave less than s5O,oo0 profit-noth- ing very much to boast about in an enterprise involving such an amount.
 Indeed, no matter how big the con- test promises, it's not all easy sail ing, or the prospects don't loom up as something great to anticipate A hundred things can happen to height en those expenses. It takes a game man like Tex Rickard to go through with it.

 Tom O'Rourke, manager of Dixon, tossed the sponge into the ring to save his black boy from being com pletely demolished by the slashing Brooklynite. Although rivals and one Irishman and the other a ne gro, McGovern and Dixon were very friendly, both in and out of the ring. When Terry had whipped Dixon he was the first to grasp the hand of the defeated champion and praise him for his gameness.

 Terry always stuck up for Dixon as one of the greatest fighters that ever lived, and admitted that he couldn't have licked the negro when he was at his best. This bit if chivalry is one of many examples that disprove the claim that boxing arouses brutal instincts.

w some. on the Jess Willard and Jack Dempsey battle at Toledo, but when it comes to news-REAL NEwS-we must slip the palm to our friend Joe Mulvihill. Dick Howell showed good judgment when he grab bed Joe to write special stories for the Bridgeport Sunday Herald. Bob Edgren. Igoe, Tad and that crowd have been doing splendid work, but Mulvy has them all stopped when it comes to delivering the real news.
 These writers have confined their efforts, organized and individual, to commenting on the doings of the box CTS but Mulvihill has wired back to Connecticut stories that have spar kled with news-a sort of elaborate side light display. But he has given us some real news All of which proves that Joe Mulvihill's sense of what constitutes news is as keen as his idea of what constitutes a good boxing match and a good circus. for he it remembered, boys, that Mulvihiu was quite a snowman in his day. The whole thing is that Connecticut has never given Joe Mu1vihill a chance. It's in him to deliver the goods and he is proving it by helping put on the biggest show ever attempted. And vol right in his home state he isn't given a chance-not even a square deal.

Nothing better could be secur- ed for the fans and the writer per sonally knows that nothing would suit Danny Morgan, mana ger of the vel terweight champion. more than a bat tie with Ted Kid in the East.

Clairt Is Amusing.

[ Montgomery, Ala, Mar. 26.-"Hen- ry J. Allen, Governor of Kansas, in his telegram to the chairman of the Cotton Growers Association, of South Carolina, as reported by The Asso- ciated Press, uttered mean strict ure on the cotton growers of the south," declared J. o. Thompson, president of the Alabama Farmers Protective League, today. "His claim that the wheat growers are doing all they can to increase the wheat yield that every man may have bread, is amusing. Governor Allen knows that the wheat growers have made good bargain with the government and he knows that they have tremendously increased their acreage at the eX- pense of corn.
 "No one believes that the wheat growers have so tremendously in- creased their wheat acreage because of their desire to feed the world. They are planting it because they have sold at an exorbitant price.
 | "Mr. Allen speaks of 35 cents the farmer is receiving for his cotton, when he, as an intelligent man, should know that we cannot get with in ten cents of that price,"

PLEASANT SAYS ALLEN DISPLAYS
 HIS IGNORANCE
Wheat Farmers Are Risk ing Vast Over supply
 To Get Gov. Price.

New Orleans, Mar. 26.-Character- izing as Trash, venomous and full of prejudice the statement made re- gently by Governor Allen of Kansas. that cotton reduction plan in the south means the southern cotton pro- ducer is attempting to trade upon the miseries of the world" Governor Pleasant, of Louisiana, tonight de- clared that the Kansas executive" ex- hibited gross ignorance of the trade situation" Governor Pleasant's state ment was made upon his arrival from Memphis, where he was in confer ence with farmers, bankers and mer- chants on the cotton reduction plan.
 "The wheat farmers of Kansas" Governor Pleasant said, "are not growing their grain for less than it's worth, nor will they be compelled to carry billion dollars worth of it for many months or years. The gov ernment is going to pay them $2.26 for $1.00 wheat and all of us are willing to pay the difference We therefore, are showing a great deal of altruism toward the suffering Kan sas wheat farmers"
 Will Increase Yield.
 Declaring that the government price of wheat will be an inducement for the wheat growers to increase their crops, the governor. continued:
 "Watch and see if they will not raise twelve hundred million bushels of wheat this year instead of the six hundred million they raised only few year ago. They are risking great oversupply to get the governments price and not because of the worlds dcmands.'
 Turning his attention to diversifi- cation of crops, in the south, Cover nor Pleasant said:
 "The southern farmer is going to raise sufficiency of other things than cotton to maintain his family, l make cotton a surplus crop and make i the spinner come to him and buy at a reasonable and profitable price in- stead of being compelled to rush into the market and sell at most any price as heretofore"
 Denying Governor Aliens state 1 ment that 35 cents pound was being paid for cotton, the governor con- cluded by saying:
 Governor Aliens assertion that we are getting that much for cotton is i not true. If the world would buy our cotton and pay that price we would have no complaint"
